The Writer's Romance 53 Big Tummy

Sheen and Bea went out for lunch with Blue and Elgeen.

They met at the restaurant and are now eating together.

"Yep, you coming? Elgeen's one of her bride's maid as well," Blue said.

"I think so... It's embarra.s.sing if I won't, right, Elgeen?" Sheen tries her best to include Elgeen in the conversation since she somehow feels like Elgeen's not comfortable.

"Y-yeah... She has a lot of bride's maid, but since she invited you, I think she'll be dramatic if you don't show up," Elgeen forced a smile.

Of course, she's not comfortable with the woman her fiance is in love with.

She looks at Blue, even if he tries to hide it, he can't resist staring at Sheen.

"Uhm, what's the color of the dress I should wear again?" Sheen asks.

Bea's busy reading an article she's supposed to edit for today.

"Peach, but I think she prepared dresses for us already. Wait, let me call her," Elgeen takes her phone and called Cha.

Since all of them are busy, they didn't have time to meet up and talk about the wedding for tomorrow.

Elgeen doesn't really know what her cousin's plan is.

"So, what did you buy for Cj? I bought a toy, I'm not really good at picking gifts," Blue laughs while showing the wrapped gift for Cj to Sheen.

"Uhm, well... I bought him a jacket since it's already getting cold."

"I see... What about you Bea?" Blue asks while he and Sheen look at Bea.

Bea didn't even look at them but replied, "I bought a scarf since Sheen said something about the temperature when she bought her gift so, yeah."

"It's peach, Sheen. And we do have a dress already. She said it's a free size dress so we don't have to get our fittings done," Elgeen said after talking with Cha on the phone.

Sheen nods, "Oh okay... Then, we'll go directly to the church?"

"Mr. White is invited, as well as Wyn and Kady, you can go with any of them. Bea, right?" Elgeen pointed at Bea, making the reporter look at her while nodding, "You can come to since almost all of Cha's friends are your friends."

Bea shakes her head, "I have A LOT to do because we didn't enter yesterday. I mean how can I get a weeks load of work by being absent for a day? I really hate my manager," she said while bitting her lips out of anger.

"Oh, I see. So, yes, if you want to go directly at the church, just call Blue, we'll meet you up," Elgeen tries to look mature but deep inside, she's insecure of Sheen.

Sheen's always the topic of Blue, Wyn, and Kady.

They are always worried about her.

They always want her to be happy.

How can such a simple woman capture the hearts of men?

Even if Elgeen's a model, she never really had dated a man who's really in for her personality not of her looks.

"Oh, okay... But maybe I'll go with Mr. White since he's the nearest," Sheen looks at her watch.

It's still early to go back.

And she'll only end up thinking about her book and even end up changing a lot in the story.

She unconciously looks at Bea's tummy, something's different.

"Speaking of Mr. White, he's the best man, right? Dan's also taking him as the best man... Sheen, this means he's also your best man, right? O my gooossh," Bea suddenly got hyped.

She shakes Sheen while teasing her.

Blue and Elgeen got curious about what Bea means, "What do you mean, he's Sheen's best man?" Blue asks.

There are worry and jealousy in his eyes, Elgeen can tell.

She frowns and looks at Sheen who's sweat dropping while being shaken by Bea.

"Wait, I don't really understand. It's nothing, she's just... umm, stressed," Sheen looks at Blue.

"No! Wait, he's not your best man, he's going to be your groom! OOOOOOOOHHHHHH MYYY GOOOOOODDDD!" Bea is really stressed and she wants to annoy her cousin because it refreshes her to see Sheen being embarra.s.sed.

"Whaaat! Shut up!" Sheen pushes Bea's face to stop her from shaking her.

Blue froze, 'Groom?' he thought and sighs.

What is it for him?

He's just a friend.

And he's engaged.

Elgeen looks away from Blue, her chest tightens by seeing Blue's reaction.

While pushing Bea's face, she did not notice that Bea's fake eyelashes were removed.

Blue looks at Bea and snorted.

Bea looks at him and stops shaking Sheen, making Sheen let go of Bea's face.

"Oh," Sheen covers her mouth and tries to hide her smiles.

Elgeen noticed something black on Bea's face and when she saw that it's fake eyelashes, she lets out a snort as well.

"Hey, you two. If you don't stop laughing at my face, you will never have good looking children in the future," Bea curses with a blank expression.

"I'm so sorry, Bea. I know Dan will still love you even if your eyelashes are fake," Sheen whispers.

Bea looks at her with sharp eyes, the fake lashes fell on her paper.

At first, she just stares at it, trying to see what and where it came from.

"HOLY MOTHER AND CHILD!" Bea yelled and picks up the fake lashes and looks at Sheen.

"YOU LITTLE WITCH!" Bea took the paper and rolled it then she hit Sheen's face.

Elgeen and Blue suddenly stop laughing.

Sheen just froze with a stinging pain on her face.

Bea breathes heavily and went to the comfort room, leaving the three with awkwardness.

"Sheen," Blue called with a worried tone.

Elgeen looks at Blue, he's not worried.

His face is all red while suppressing his laughter, making Elgeen feel bad for Sheen.

"My goodness! That was good!" Blue exclaimed and continued laughing.

Elgeen worriedly asks Sheen, "Are you okay?"

Sheen's frozen face lights up and looks at Elgeen, "Don't worry, there are tons of things worse than a being hit by rolled paper. I mean, she did meaner things to me before, it's no big deal. And it's my fault," Sheen smiles.

"I just feel something's off with Bea, I mean, look at that mood swing! Even if I erase her eyebrows now she shouldn't get that angry. She was too quiet earlier then she got excited and now she's angry. Her tummy got big too," Sheen looks at Elgeen, the person who might get what she means directly.

Elgeen blinks fast, of course, she thought of one reason, "How many months do you think?" She asks.

"I don't really know, maybe three?" Sheen answers.

Blue looks at them confused, he looks at the person who's talking then to the other.

"I see, should we keep quiet?" Elgeen asks.

"I think... no. I will not keep quiet about this. I will not feel guilty for accidentally removing her eyelashes that must be poorly attached at the first place," Sheen said and crossed her arms.

She's starting to feel guilty and worried earlier when Bea left but now that she found out Bea's hiding something, she won't let this slip.

Bea's been wearing loose clothes for the past days, and this is the only day where she wore a fitted shirt and took of her jacket.

And her mood swings are overwhelming.

It's even weird that she thought of Cj's birthday party yesterday even though everyone's worried sick.

"Hey, I am not that close with Bea, but can you tell me what you ladies are talking about?" Blue asks Elgeen.

She blushed because Blue is always, cute for Elgeen, " Well... she might be..." she whispers.

Blue's eyes widen, "I knew it! I noticed it earlier too! I know she's slim but her tummy can't get that big!"

Elgeen laughs at Blue's excited face.

After a while of talking about Bea, they all went silent when they saw her coming back from the Comfort Room which took a while.

She removed the other eyelash and she seems to be p.i.s.sed.

She silently sat down beside Sheen and eats her food which is untouched.

Sheen looks at her intently, making Bea feel weird.

"What?" Bea irritatedly asks.

"Do you have another baby aside from Dan?" Blue asks.

Bea looks at him more irritatedly, "What the **** do you mean you as*hole?"

Sheen froze.

Elgeen looks away pretending she's not sitting with them.

Blue just keeps on smiling, "Hey, Elgeen, don't be like her if you have another baby, okay? It's very unpleasant."

Elgeen looks at Blue with a red-tinted face, 'What do you mean if I have another baby?' she thought while her heart suddenly felt as it's melting.

Sheen smiles at Elgeen's reaction since she understood what Blue said to her.

'Aw, they're so cute together,' she thought.

"Okay, what is it?" Bea looks at Sheen.

"You are pregnant, right?" Sheen directly asks.

Bea wasn't able to answer right away, as if her brain's still loading the information.

"Am I?" Bea looks at Sheen with a shocked face, "What? I am?"

Blue once again broke into laughter, Sheen stared at Bea.

Elgeen sighs and texted her ob-gyn.

"We still have time, we can visit my ob-gyn if you like," Elgeen asks.

Bea stared at Elgeen, "Yeah, why not. Let's go!"

She immediately stood up and carried her things, the three laughs at her reaction.

"I can't believe it! Oh my G.o.d!" Bea said with teary eyes, trembling hands and smiles.

She touched her tummy, feeling a new life breath inside her.

Sheen caress her cousin's back while Blue weirdly looks at the ultrasound image, "Ew, it looks like p.o.o.p."

Bea kicks Blue secretly to make him shut up.

Elgeen claps her hand, "Wow, congrats, Bea."

After the pregnancy test, Elgeen suggested having an ultrasound to check her baby and her status as well.

"I can't believe it, I thought I was only getting fat!" Bea said while eating ice cream.

They are all on their way back to their places and she just stopped by an ice cream vendor because she feels like she wants something cold.

"But are you going to tell Dan?" Sheen asks.

"Hm, what do you think, Blue? Should I tell him immediately or surprise him?"

Blue looks at Elgeen, "I like surprises," he said and wiggles his eyebrows at Elgeen.

She looks at him confused, 'Why are you telling me this?' she asks herself while blushing.

"Okay, I see..." Bea smiles while feeling the excitement.

"I'll tell him on our wedding day," she said.

"But I think he'll notice it by then, your tummy's getting big," Elgeen said, they stop near the company since she and Blue are on the opposite direction.

"Yeah... then... I'll ask boss to help me, Dan's always with Kady anyways."

"By the way, how long will you guys stay here?" Sheen asks and stops as well.

"Maybe until Bea's wedding. Kady and Wyn still have businesses to attend here, since I'm done with mine, I'll wait until Bea's wedding with Elgeen," Blue answered.

He smiled when he noticed that Elgeen grew more comfortable with Sheen.

He doesn't want her to get jealous with a friend who will always stay as a friend.

It might be hard for him now to change his heart's song, but someday, with Elgeen being the sweetest, he knows a new song will be played.

"I see. See you tomorrow," Sheen waves her hand.

"Thank you, Elgeen! Promise you're gonna be a G.o.dmother!" Bea smiled at them.

"Bye," Blue and Elgeen said.

Bea walks with Sheen with a wide smile on her face.

She was only trying to hide her 'fat' and wore loose clothes and she didn't know it's baby b.u.mp.

Fear really did suddenly popped when she found out she's pregnant.

But she's too happy to worry about a thing that she's been craving for a while.

It's not on a plan but a surprise spices up life.

And she knows Dan will be happy about it.

He's the type of guy who loves kids.

All she has to prepare for is the revelation and baby clothes, toys, crib, and a lot more.

Just thinking about going for shopping makes her heart burst.

Sheen smiles while looking at Bea's happy face.

Even though Bea and Dan aren't together for that long, she knows that they love each other dearly.

She suddenly felt jealous.

Bea has her love.

Bea's ready for a family.

While Sheen can't even properly fix herself yet.

Even though she's free from the chains and worries.

It's herself who locks herself with problems that are not even there.

'I wonder, when will I be happy? Like really happy?' she thought as they enter the company building.
