Chapter 102
"OK. You guys bedroom is right here. And right across the hall is the nursery." Howie says while open the nursery door.
The very sight of it makes me want to cry. The room is decorated in baby Looney Tunes.
"Oh my gosh; how adorable!" I say.
"Thought you'd like it." Libby says.
"We all had our little part in putting the nursery together." Kevin says.
"Yeah. Libby, Sarah, Tiffany, and I picked out the Looney tunes theme. Kevin, Nick, and Brian took care of getting the wood furniture (cribs, drawers, chairs, etc.). Howie of course took care of the adding on of the nursery. And AJ had the main part...which was...hehehe...you know." Shena says smiling.
"Hey hey hey, I also bought a lot of the decorations." AJ says.
"I know; I just had to say that." Shena says patting AJ on the shoulder.
"Well, thank you. All of you. It's so...so great." I say near tears.
"Those post pregnancy hormones kicking in." Nick whispers to Libby.
She elbows him in the gut.
"Hey!" Nick yelps.
"Well, how about you get them settled in." Kevin says.
"Oh, OK." I say.
Howie picks Dominique up out of her car seat and hold her.
"You're just so pretty." Howie says.
I smile at him.
Kevin gets Christian out of the car seat and carry's him over to his crib.
"This lil guy is sacked out." Kevin says softly.
"Diddo on her part." Howie says pointing out Dominique who's asleep in her crib.
I looked at Libby after we laid the babies down for their nap. She was standing in the corner, leaning against the wall. She had her eye on Howie the whole time. I walked over to her; she looked so sad.
"Libby, are you OK?" I asked her. She didn't even look at me.
"I ruined it. I ruined it for him," she said with tears forming in her eyes.
"What are you talking about? Ruined what for who?" I ask confused.
She started to get a little upset and loud. "For Howie! I ruined it for Howie. I killed his beautiful baby. That could be our little girl he's saying is so pretty!"
She turns and walks out the door. I look over at Howie, he's just watching her leave. I can tell he's thinking about going after her, but he doesn't. I go after her, she didn't go far, though. She's standing in the hall, crying.
"Libby, girl, you wanna go for a walk?" I asked her quietly.
"Yeah I guess so." She sounded like she knew either way, she was going to have to go.
I told her not to move and I went back in the nursery. I asked the others if they would watch the babies. They said sure no problem, so I grabbed AJ and Howie and came out to the hall.
She took one look at Howie and started the walk by herself. Howie looked so sad and like he didn't want to go, but I pushed him out the door.
(outside)
We all walk down the road together. It's pretty quiet; besides the other people walking down the road. We are all getting some weird looks; and these are weirder than usual.
"What's up with all these people?" I ask.
"I don't know. I mean, I know we gets some funny looks; but not these bad." AJ says.
"Well, look at them. They seem to act like something's wrong with us." I say.
"Who knows." AJ says.
"You know, Lib, D, you guys can talk." I say.
"Oh, sorry. I can't get over the looks that group is giving me over there." Libby says.
We all look at the group she's talking about. It was a guy and two girls. They were all about our age. They seemed to look decent enough. They dressed OK and everything. The only thing funny about them was the look that they kept giving us. At first they just look at us; then they start walking towards us.
AJ puts his hands on Libby and my back.
"Just keep walking girls." AJ says.
Libby whispers to me, "Something's not right."
"I know. Get ready for anything." I whisper.
The group blocks our path on the side walk.
"Um...excuse us please." I say.
"Um...no." One of the girls says.
"Excuse me?" I ask sharply.
"I said you ain't going anywhere." The girl says.
I start to walk towards her but AJ grabs the back of my shirt.
"Do you have a problem?" Libby asks.
"Yeah, with you." The other chic says.
Libby gets pissed and says, "Excuse me why the he..."
Howie interrupts Libby by saying, "What is your problem with her Miss?"
"Don't you talk to my woman!" The guy says.
"Look. We don't have a problem with you; so I think you need to just let us by." I say.
AJ keeps holding on the my shirt. He thinks: 'Oh God. With those hormones, God knows what will happen.'
The guy looks at Howie and Libby.
"I heard about you guys; I heard what happened." The guy says.
"What? What happened; what did you hear?" Howie asks.
"My girl was walking by your place when she heard your slut say she had a miscarriage." The guy says.
"What the hell did you just call her?" Howie asks sternly.
"Slut, can't you hear? S-L-U-T, slut." One of the girls says.
I jump towards the girl but AJ grabs me around the waste.
The guy laughs, "You guys need to get better than sluts."
Just then Howie lunges at the guy.
"What the...?" The guy starts.
"Oh crap!" AJ says as he goes to pull Howie off the guy.
I look at Libby and she looks at me. The girls walk towards us.
"Heard you just had a baby; I'm sure your body can't take much a beating." One of the girls says to me.
"She isn't the one that's going to be getting the beating." Libby says.
"Huh?" The girl asks just as Libby punches her in the face.
The girl falls to the ground with a yelp.
I look over at the guy, Howie, and AJ. AJ has been thrown against a fence (in a very sexy pose I might ad hehehe).
"Oh God, AJ you OK?" I scream.
"Yeah I'm....watch out!" AJ screams.
I look over at the other girl who is getting ready to hit me. Just as she lunges me I move and she goes past me.
"Come on Bitch!" I yell.
"Like you can do anything." She yells.
I laugh.
She lunges at me. I grab her arms, kick the back of her legs, and she falls to the ground.
"Suzanna stop." AJ yells as he tries to get Howie off the guy.
The guy punches Howie in the face. Libby sees it and kicks the guy in the side.
"OUCH!" He yells.
The two girls flee from the group fight. Libby and I stand over to the side and let the boys duke it out.
AJ finally pulls Howie off the guy and they all go to their feet.
The guy goes to punch Howie again.
"NO!" AJ says jumping in front of Howie. AJ gets punched instead.
"Oh no you did not..." I say.
I lunge at the guy and grab him by the throat.
"Oh my gosh." Libby yells.
The guy grabs me by the shoulders, lifts me in the air, and says, "Get off my bitch!"
I kick him in the nuts. He drops me to the ground, but I fall back on Howie and Libby.
"You guys are crazy! Backstreet Boys is just a bunch of fags!" The guy yells, "And if that BITCH ever touches me again I'll..."
"That's it." AJ says as he punches the guy; he falls to the ground.
"So much for him keeping the peace this time." Libby says.
The guy gets up off the ground and runs down the road.
AJ walks over to all of us. Libby and I are fine. But both Howie and AJ are bleeding.
"Well, now that we've hosed the street down with testosterone, how about we get you guys home and clean you up?" I say laughing.
"OK" They both say.
As we walk down the road Libby says, "You know, for just having a baby three weeks ago; you got spunk."
We all laugh.
