I haven’t heard from Vinny since my doctor’s appointment last week, and while I should just not care, it bugs me. This is the longest we’ve ever split up. We used to get into the stupidest petty fights, but we would always come back together. I miss him so damn much. I just don’t know how to get us back to good.

I lay on my bed with my hand on my belly, feeling the flutters of the child I’m carrying, my daughter. It seems that my girls and I are just unlucky in love, and it totally sucks. I keep thinking of all the things Vinny and I should be doing together, all the fun stuff- picking out names, shopping for baby furniture, and decorating her room. He’s missing out on all of it. I know he will regret this one day, but what if that day comes too late?

There is a knock on my front door, making me get up out of my bed. The knocking on my door becomes more rapid, and the doorbell starts going off too.

I fling it open. “Seriously?” I shout.

My eyes go wide when I see my friends and family standing there, all of them grinning at me. “What’s going on?” I ask.

Hilary and Eden grin. “Baby Shower time!” they both squeal.

My mom, Momma B, Mona, even Hayley and Alix from work are here, plus women I’ve only seen in passing that I know are part of the club. And then I see her... Crazy old lady Mrs. Shepard is here. Great.

We all get seated in the living room- well, Mrs. Shepard and I do while everyone else takes over my kitchen and starts decorating the place.

“How are you, dear?” Mrs. Shepard asks. It sort of shocks me because she sounds sweet and gentle. Am I being punked?

“Um, I’m good, Mrs. Shepard,” I tell her. What else am I supposed to say? Sure, everyone has problems, but nobody really cares to hear about them.

“Bullshit,” she booms, and I jump on the couch. “That boy’s a piece of shit, leaving you pregnant and all. He’s lucky he avoids me. Otherwise, I’d beat him senseless.” I believe her too. That crazy old bat doesn’t mess around. Even Mason won’t go near her, and if she scares him, you know to stay the fuck away.

“Hey, fuck heads! This party need to get loud,” Hayley shouts.

“I like that girl,” Mrs. Shepard says, grinning. Of course she does. I swear, when Hayley gets to be Mrs. Shepard’s age, I bet you anything she will be exactly like her.

Mrs. Shepard starts digging through her purse and pulls out two beers and a pack of smokes, along with an ashtray.

“Uh, you can’t smoke,” I say hesitantly.

“Fuck off with that. You and Eden are the same, I swear. Back in my day, we kept smoking right through the pregnancy. You’re gonna leave me be,” she says, pointing her boney finger at me.

“Old lady, where the hell did the booze come from?” Hayley asks, coming into the room.
