Chapter Thirteen

Emma hurried down to the concierge desk; she was late. The girls were supposed to be meeting up at seven, and it was already ten after. She’d taken a nap. It seemed she needed one every afternoon these days, and her body refused to accept that being in Vegas made any difference. She smiled to herself when she reached the desk. Megan was there, April and Lily were there, but the rest of them seemed to be even later than she was. She smiled as she plonked herself down next to Megan.

“Are you excited yet?” she asked.

Megan nodded, but didn’t reply. Poor thing! She must be really nervous. And Emma knew her well enough to know that a night out like this would be tough for her. She’d no doubt rather be curled up with a book in her room. Emma could relate to that, but she wouldn’t miss this for the world.

“Never mind,” she said. “Just have a couple of drinks and this evening will pass quickly.”

Megan burst into tears.

“What’s the matter?” Emma looked up at April and Lily who were sitting on the other sofa. Lily raised her hands in a helpless gesture. April shook her head sadly; they had no clue what was going on either. Megan pulled out a hanky and blew her nose loudly. “I can’t drink,” she mumbled.

“Why ever not?”

“Why can’t you?”

“Because I’m pregnant, silly….” And then it dawned on her. “Oh!”

Megan nodded sadly.

“But Megan, that’s wonderful news! Isn’t it?”

“It should be.” Megan sniffed. “It is really. I’m just being stupid. Ignore me. I’m fine.”

“But you’re obviously not fine! Why?”

She shook her head sadly. “I know it’s stupid, but I don’t want to get married because I’m pregnant!”

Emma didn’t get that. “But you’re not. You’re getting married because you and Michael love each other and want to spend the rest of your lives together.” She gave her an encouraging smile. “And now you’re expecting a baby, too. It’s all coming together at once. What could be better?”

“See, I told you. I’m just being stupid.”

Emma patted her arm. “You’ll be fine. You just need a little time to get used to the idea.”

Megan nodded and looked up as Kenzie came out of the elevator.

“Hey ladies! Are we ready to do Vegas justice?” she asked.

Emma smiled. Kenzie and Megan could not be more different. Kenzie looked like she was born to party in Vegas. She wore a short black dress, split at the thigh. Her long blonde hair was piled up on top of her head. Just looking at her heels gave Emma vertigo. She looked like a million dollars. Megan looked beautiful too, but in a much more muted way. She wore a purple silk dress, with a mandarin collar. She looked demure, yet still sexy.

“I’m just hoping to survive the night,” said Megan.

Kenzie’s face softened as she came to sit beside them. “You’ll have fun, sis. This is your big night. Relax and enjoy yourself for once. Be the wild little gypsy I know you can be.
