Fated Or Accident novel Chapter 30

Next I was forced to do a thank you speech. I was already too emotional so doing this wasn't exactly the best of ideas.

"Ummm...I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for coming out today and celebrating this special moment in my life. The gifts are definitely appreciated from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't have asked for better people to spend this moment with and I love every one of you. I especially want to thank all you guys who set this up because I know it was hard to hide this surprise baby shower from me in my own apartment. I love you guys for pulling this all off because I honestly wasn't expecting this. I just wanted you all to know that I have picked a baby name. Since I won't know the sex of the baby until delivery day, Micah for a boy and Michal for a girl. Thanks again for coming to celebrate" I said in the middle of a cry fest. Everyone looked at me in awe and I smiled hard as hell even with the tears running down my face. I was genuinely happy. I had my family back even though I made a completely new one. And I had a baby whom I would love forever on the way.

After my little speech and all the awe's and laughs, we cut the cake and everyone ate some. I mingled through the crowd and met a lot of new people. Some people I actually knew had me laughing hysterically about my contrast between me and a whale saying, "At least you don't look like Kim Khardshian in her Free Willy suit." Everyone died laughing after that and thanks to my weak bladder; I almost pissed on myself from laughing so much. Pregnancy was no joke when it came to having to pee every two seconds. I could look at water and have to pee, and I didn't even drink anything yet. I went to the bathroom and came out. I walked around to maybe three more groups before I decided to stop ignoring Alysia before she actually carried out her threat and told Nicolas everything. I wasn't prepared for the water works he would give if he found out and I wasn't about to let him find out today either.

I walked over to where Nicolas was laughing and talking with some brunette haired woman. I felt a little upset at first but I caught myself. Why would I be mad if he moved on with another woman? Maybe because he knocked you up and came back and said he would take care of you and the baby. My conscious answered back. I nodded and interrupted the woman rudely not caring about the daggers she shot at me.

"Nicolas." I said. Nicolas looked shocked to see me and turned towards me.

"Ari. Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Actually yes. Thank you for setting this up. Don't hold that thank you against me."

"Haha. I wont." He said grinning. His smile was still beautiful. Again I had to catch myself before I did something I might regret.

"Yeah..." I said staring at him, getting lost as usual.

"Ehhmmm" The brunette chick cleared her throat.

"Hey guys what's the topic?" I said.

"Marco's talking about some apartment he found in Long Island that he's completely in love with." Kevin said. Kelly took that chance to elbow the hell out of Kevin's arm, almost knocking the cup of soda out of his hand. "Oh umm. Arianna this is Kelly, remember I told you about her. Kelly this is..."

"Arianna! OMG I'm so happy to finally meet you." She said as she ran to me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug. She's touching me! Why the hell is she touching me!? I'm not a touchy feely person. Kevin and Marco just sat back and laughed at my face because I never really knew how to take a stranger hugging me. You had to be a certain kind of person in my life to get a hug. I didn't even know Kelly.

"I...can't...breathe...." I said in between gasps of breath. I was losing oxygen.

"Oh! I'm so sorry." She said releasing me. I felt light headed and started seeing spots before I regained myself. Marco and Kevin still had the amused looks on their faces. I was ready to punch it off but I then realized I felt too weak to do that thanks to the pregnancy and loss of oxygen thanks to Kelly.
