Well, we’re pulling into a rest stop at mile marker seventy-two. He just has to get this out of his system.” A minute, then two, passed and finally Alex’s voice quieted.
The thing about it is…” She pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at Elise. So pft on you.” Elise watched as Maddy openly defied her Prima and dialed, Alex answering in a single ring. “Prima can’t kick my ass at the moment and I figure I’ve got a few days to hide before you come after me. “Prima said no!” Maya’s roar filled the SUV. “Oops my water broke while we’re still an hour from home? That oops?” “Oops, how?” That was Maddy pushing into the conversation. “Maya?” Carly’s voice was soothing, calm. “It’s all good, puppy.” Maya’s voice was strained and suddenly a fragrance filled the SUV, something that Elise wasn’t familiar with but put the other occupants on alert. He’s annoyingly protective, but he shouldn’t cause a problem. “It’s a red, beat up truck.”Įlise looked behind them and sighed. “Hey, guys?” Carly’s voice rose above the singing and hee-ing. Unfortunately.Įlise figured being pregnant had rotted the poor lioness’ brain.Īnd she decided never to have babies. And he definitely wouldn’t wear heels for her. Then it was Alejandro by Lady Gaga and she told everyone not to “call her name” and then explained the music video with hotties wearing high heels and faux fucking which the Prima found weirdly hawt but the couldn’t tell Alex cause he’d look at her funny. Followed quickly by a “O-my-fucking-gawd-kill-me!”. Damn it, Elise’s watch might have been slow. That was good, right? Or was it four minutes. She wanted to know if men wished their girlfriends were “hot like her” with the Pussycat Dolls. The contractions were five minutes apart.
She “brought sexy back” with Justin Timberlake. But between contractions, Maya started dancing and singing with a pen as a microphone. Oh, the labor continued, the tightening of her belly and the huffing breaths as she worked through the pain of birth. Maya flicked the radio on then, twisting, poking and turning knobs until she slumped against the seat once again. “Uh, okay.” Elise tried to keep the skepticism out of her voice. Maddy gave Elise a look that said Maya was lying.
