Two weeks later

January 12th.
33 weeks pregnant.

"Margene!  Emmett!  What a surprise, come on in!" Arvilla moves to the side.

"Thank you!  Hi babies!" Margene grabs her belly as her voice goes high.

Arvilla looks down and laughs.
"Wow, I remember when I used to get some love."

"Hi Arvilla!" Emmett mimics Margene's voice as he softly pinches Arvilla's cheek.

Arvilla laughs. "What's up, you guys?"

"Well.. We have great news!" Margene smiles big.

"You're pregnant!"

"Haha!  Are you kidding?" Margene laughs.

"Well, I thought the babies would be getting a cousin or two soon!" Arvilla giggles.

"Not in a million years!"

"Well then what is it?"

"We have a wedding date!"

"Alright!  What is it?"

"Valentines Day!"

"Aww!  Of next year?"

"No!  This year!"

"What?"

"Well we thought about it and it makes sense!  Emmett and I met and instantly fell in love.
  We traveled together, we moved in together right away.  Everything has happened so fast, we thought a quick engagement only made sense."

"Wow.. well yes, I see your point.
  But I'll be thirty seven weeks pregnant by then."

"I know!  Hopefully you can keep those babies in until after the wedding!"

Arvilla chuckles with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong, honey?"

"I'm just happy for you.  You two are going to have such a beautiful life together."

Emmett wraps his arm around her and they both smile.

"I had this love.. it's the greatest feeling in the world.  Enjoy it!" Arvilla smiles through her tears.

"Aw sweetie.  I love you." Margene walks over and hugs her tightly.

"I love you too."

"Will you be in the wedding?"

Arvilla laughs and wipes her tears. "You may have to roll me down the aisle, but Yes!  Honey, of course I will!"

"Yay!  You babies are gonna be in the wedding too so get excited!"

Arvilla laughed as Margene tapped her belly.

One week later.

Wedding planning is now in full swing, and today they are all going wedding dress shopping.
  Margene found a beautiful simple dress very quickly.  Now it is Carol and Arvilla's turn.

"Oh Christ.." Arvilla groans.

"How does it look, Arvilla?"

"Yeah, come out so we can see it!" Carol adds.

Arvilla steps out of the dress and sticks her hand out, handing the dress over.
"This one doesn't fit either, I need a bigger size."

"Oh okay, no problem!" Margene then whispers, "That's the biggest size they have."

Carol makes a face. "Poor Arvilla."

"I'll just tell her I found another one I like.  Go change."

"But I like this one!"

"Go change!"

"Fine!"

Arvilla then pokes her head out. "What are you doing?"

"I just don't really like this dress after all."

"You just said you loved it, what happened?"

"I uh.. Well after looking at it on Carol I'm.. I'm grossed out by it."

"Thanks." Carol says.

"No that's not it, she looks great!  It's me, isn't it?  It's because I'm fat!" Arvilla cries.

"No sweetie, it's me!"

"No, I really just don't like it!  I found one even better!"

"I can't believe I'm causing this much trouble!  I'm so sorry, Margene."

"Sweetie, don't be sorry!  You've done nothing wrong."

"Still.. I'm just so big!  I'm too BIG!" Arvilla shouts.

"You are not, Arvilla.  You're carrying babies, love!  You are perfect!"

"Thanks.." Arvilla sniffles.

"Now.. Will you girls please try these dresses on?"

".. Sure.."

**

Arvilla slowly walked out of the dressing room.

"Awww!  Wow, you look beautiful!" Margene smiles as she walks over and zips her up.

"I don't know if this will fit me in three weeks."

"There's still a bit of belly room.
.. Boobie room.. ass room.. There's room for everything to grow!"

Arvilla laughs.  She then smiles softly down to her belly as she runs her hand down her bump.

"This was Joe's favorite color on me." She smiles at Margene.

"Aw was it?"

Arvilla nods. "Yeah.. he said it brought out my eyes."

"Joe was right!"

"Thanks." Arvilla giggles softly.

"You really look beautiful, Arvilla." Carol says.

"Well alright already!  Geez!" She laughs. "Thank you guys."

Later that evening Arvilla sat on the couch watching a movie in comfy clothes.
The babies kicking and not calming down even if their mother has.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.
The doorbell startled Arvilla.  She looked at the clock and it was just a little after nine.

With a bit of difficulty Arvilla stood up and waddled to her front door.  Slowly opening it, Arvilla gasped.

"Hey little lady!"

"Robert!"

"ARVILLA!" Robert mimics her voice as they share a hug.

"Come in!"

"Thank you!  Oh my gosh, look at you!  You're really pregnant now!"

"I'm a large Marge in charge!"

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you." She smiles. "Sit down.  Would you like some coffee?"

"No, you sit down, I'm fine!  Thank you though."

"No problem!  So, what are you doing here?"

"I had a week off so I decided to surprise you!"

Arvilla pouts and immediately starts crying.

"Oh no, what's wrong?"

"I do this now!"

"You cry?"

"Yeah, and I can't stop!"

"Aw sweetie, I'm sorry!  I didn't mean to make you upset."

"No I just.. I cry so much and I can't control it!  These babies are making me insane, that's all."

"Aw.."

"I appreciate you coming to see me."

"Of course!  I told you I would." Robert smiles and wipes her cheeks.

"Are you doing well?  Are the babies okay?"

"The babies are doing great.  They're growing a lot, they're healthy.. Aside from my body constantly hurting, I couldn't ask for a better pregnancy."

"That's great!  I bet you're excited." Robert smiles. "It's the final countdown!" He sings.

"Haha! It is!  I'm excited but Jesus Christ am I terrified!"

"Oh I bet.  But you're so strong, Arvilla, you can do it!"

Arvilla smiles softly. "Thank you, Bobby."

The two stayed up all night long just talking.  Usually they did the same thing over the phone, but actually being together was so much nicer.

Arvilla felt Robert was such an amazing distraction from her sadness.  She wished she could see him more often.
