Georgia, an open beer in her grasp, sat back at the table and said, “Look, Tina. We all need to talk. All parties here are guilty of something.

No one in this dining room is exempt. We all need to calm down. We’re acting like children.”

When she said it she wanted to take it back.

Georgia wanted to bash Princess’s head in and watch the bitch bleed to death.

Tina ran her hands through her hair, shaking. She was about to explode.

Princess stood up and walked over to the dining room window, looking outside.

Thomas looked over his shoulder, making sure she was all right.

Ed didn’t know what to do. Part of him wanted to hold Princess and protect her and kiss her face and tell her that he wanted to spend his life with her but
another part of him respected Thomas.

Georgia set the beer down. “Princess. Why.”

Princess looked at her. “Why, what?”

Damn, I hope she hasn’t figured it out. God, no. Please don’t let that be the case. I’m so not ready to reveal it.

I can’t deal with it. I’m pregnant for God’s sake and if anything messes up my chances of being with Thomas I’d rather die.

Georgia slowly stood up, cautiously walking over to her friend. She looked her over, trying to find the words.

She hurt inside. “Why did you do it? I loved
you like a sister. I thought I could trust you.”

Thomas said, “Georgia, she’s pregnant. She is dealing with enough stress.” Thomas wondered what she was talking about. His mind worked overtime.

Georgia looked at him blankly. She felt nothing inside for anyone at the moment.

“Do you love her?”

Thomas said, “Yes. I will die for her. She carries my child.” He wasn’t too sure of it.

He was still getting over the fact that the woman he fought turned out to be the love of his life.

Georgia was skeptical. You didn’t meet somebody and boom, fall in love. Love wasn’t a nuclear bomb.

“You don’t know that.”

Everyone fell silent. Ed’s mouth fell open. Thomas looked at Princess.

Tina said, “If this was Maury Pouvich, he would open the DNA test and say ‘Thomas, you are not the father…’”

Thomas snapped on her. He wrapped his hands around Tina’s neck and tried to rip out her esophagus.

Ed grabbed his arm, and used all the strength he could muster to pull him off.

Princess simply looked out the window and Georgia snatched Princess by the arm.

Tina sat down, trying to catch her breath. “That’s all you can do when I tell you the truth, Thomas? Is attack me?”

Thomas was so infuriated he wanted to bash her face in. “Fuck you, bitch! You’re turning me really bitter really fast.”

Once Ed calmed Tina and Thomas down, Georgia took Princess’s hand, fondly squeezing it.

She smiled.

Princess smiled...

Georgia asked, “Why did you fuck my husband the morning after Ed’s party?”
