"is a threesome with a twenty one year old a bad idea for richard's birthday?" samantha asked randomly.

"well, i'm up." i said referring to the fact that her comment woke me up.

"only if you get him a four way next year." carrie said.

samantha scoffed, "he doesn't want to be monogamous. so he'll either cheat with or without me," she explained.

"well happy birthday to you." i said before taking a sip of my coffee.

"it's not like he asked me to get him a hooker!" samantha reasoned.

"these are the options?" charlotte asked dumbfounded.

"it's someone we know. and at least this way, im part of the fantasy." samantha said.

"yeah, the fantasy being that he's attractive to someone young enough to be his daughter." charlotte exclaimed.

"he is, charlotte! that's the problem!" samantha retorted. "richard's in his fucking prime. men get better looking as they got older and women get..."

"three ways, apparently, or a marc jacobs ultra mod little notebook," carrie interrupted as she held up the notebook. "evidently, i'm recommending it to vogue shoppers."

"just be careful, samantha. when a man has a fantasy and you fulfill it, there's always the chance that the relationship could blow up, and then you're just the idiot who did it with him on the golf course or something!" charlotte snapped.

"this is deeper than a threesome." i told them.

charlotte let out a sigh, "sorry. it's just that dakota left for connecticut for his job and i'm on edge." she said.

"sorry i'm late! i was shopping for a stroller." miranda said as she waddled in. "i shouldn't even be here. i should be out, doing the things that i'm supposed to do before the baby comes."

"like what? jujitsu and off track betting?" carrie asked.

"i was thinking more so like buying a crib." miranda replied. "evidently, i'm to go to crib world because its a whole world of cribs. i guess, 'crib city' wasn't big enough. why isn't there a store called 'this is the crib for you'? and they just have one crib for you, and they deliver it, assemble it and help you raise your child." miranda rambled.

"you don't have a crib yet?" charlotte asked, surprised nonetheless.

"no, charlotte. i have a job instead." miranda answered as she looked at the menu. "i'm sorry but, when i am i supposed to find free time to prepare for this baby? i don't have a vague idea how i'm going to do any of this."

"well, i don't have a vogue idea, so hello." carrie chimed in.

"why don't you let mister one-ball help you?" i asked miranda, referring to steve.

"i've tried that! and he starts acting all father-figure and i get territorial, and the salespeople get confused. trust me, it's too complicated for crib world." miranda said.

charlotte smiled brightly, "let me help you. i know you said you didn't want a baby shower, but it's not too late to change your mind."

"i hate baby showers," miranda said before taking a sip of her water.

"ugh, who doesn't?" samantha scoffed.

"the games, the finger sandwiches, all that enforced oohing and aahing." miranda went on and on.

"oh come on, but the gifts! less shopping for you, and more things," i reminded miranda.

"who would i invite besides you guys?" miranda asked.

"all the bitches who made you go to theirs." samantha said.

"would you really want to throw me a baby shower after all that you've been through this year?" miranda asked charlotte.

charlotte nodded, "yeah. i think it'd be good for me, besides i've already put me and dakota on the adoption list."

"okay, but no cutesy, storky shit," miranda told charlotte who had a big smile on her face. "just an adult, dignified lunch, with presents, which i will open after everyone leaves."

"you have to open the presents." charlotte told the redhead.

"no opening of presents, no games, no crustless bread." miranda said matter of factly. "and i want fried chicken."

COLUMBIA DORMS
new york, new york
5:30pm

finally mustering up some time to see jemma's dorm room, i smiled as i looked around. "it's stunning, honey."

"you think so?" she replied as she sat beside me on her bed. "the school let me go a bit wild with the decorating!" she added. "my roommate loves it."

"makes me wish i was your roommate. seriously, i never knew your creativity was this amazing. you should've decorated my place." i told my niece.

jemma giggled, "you have great style, auntie jam. i just love color. but that's okay. i'll design your house for you one day." she vowed. "anyways, how was shopping today? anything good?" she inquired.

"eh, nothing too exciting." i murmured in response. "got you these." i said as i handed her a manolo bag.

"you didn't!" the blonde yelled out as she grabbed the bag.

she rummaged through the bag and then giggled, "these are so hot! i love them! thank you so much!" she squealed as she pulled out a pair of dark green manolo boots. "you're the cutest auntie ever!" she said as she hugged me tightly.

"your only aunt as well." i commented as i hugged her back.

she sighed happily, "that's true." she said before she looked at me, "so what's new? any guys in your life?" she wondered.

"you just had to bring that up, didn't you?" i said to the girl as she walked to her front door, looking to see if i was behind her.

"i did." she teased before we headed down the hallway moving towards the elevator. "so there is someone?" she inquired.

i rolled my eyes but then shook my head, "i was seeing a firefighter but he was too bachelor style."

"and that's a bad thing?" she asked as she pressed for the elevator.

"when you're thirty five and ready to settle, yes." i answered.

the elevator beeped before the elevator doors opened. "fair enough. i understand you, aunt jam. but i'm sure there's a good one waiting out there for you. the right one will come along." she reassured me as we stepped into the elevator.

"what about you? any guys?" i asked as she pressed for the lobby floor.

"two." she answered nonchalantly.

"two?!" i asked her, completely dumbfounded by her nonchalance.

she nodded as she leaned up against the elevator wall, "two guys, a modeling job, and a whole life to live. not too shabby for a freshman, huh?" she teased.

i shook my head before looking over at her. "i would kill to be eighteen again. i would do many things differently." i commented.

"yeah? like what?" she asked me curiously.

"for one, i wouldn't have wasted time with certain people." i told my niece honestly. "i mean, i don't regret the mistakes, but...certain people are a waste of time. you know?"

"yeah, i understand that. we all make stupid dating choices in our early years." jemma acknowledged as the elevator dinged and the elevator doors opened.

she led me down the courtyard, headed to a cafe on campus.

"this is my favorite cafe ever, and it happens to be where one of the guy's works." jemma explained to me.

"it's cute." i smiled as we passed the colorful outdoor courtyard. the cafe had a cozy modern feel, with a rustic farmhouse vibe. "they are going for modern farmhouse, huh?"

we stepped into the cafe and the guy behind the counter looked over at jemma and smiled. he wore dark washed jeans and a graphic tee shirt, his locs styled into a ponytail.

"meet kai bolen...and don't be weird or embarrass me." jemma whispered to me.

"when have i ever embarrassed you in front of a guy?" i asked her.

she shrugged as she hopped on line. "i don't know, but don't start now." she warned.

the guy came over to the register, "hey jem, what are you having?" he asked curiously.

"hi kai. i'll take a vanilla bean latte." she replied as she looked over at me. "aunt jam, what do you want?"

"um...an iced caramel macchiato, please." i responded as i paid for our order.

kai glanced at me then at jemma, "your aunt, huh?" he wondered.

"meet jamie boyd, my aunt. auntie this is kai my um..." she fake coughed.

"guy friend." kai filled in, giving her a wink.

i bit my lip in slight embarrassment for my niece, but then shrugged it off. "nice to meet you kai." i said as we stood to the side, waiting for our drinks.

"you too, jamie. jem's talked about you." he replied with a smile before turning his attention to the next customer.

"man is it busy in here." i told jemma as i looked around.

she shook her head, "forget that. what do you think about kai?" she whisper yelled.

i shrugged, "he's handsome. seems like a chill guy." i replied as i kept my eyes on him. he moved with a smooth elegance and was friendly with the customers.

"just handsome and chill? that's it?" she asked me, her voice sounding slightly appalled.

"what? you want me to write his biography here?" i retorted playfully. "honestly, he's cute. what else do you want?" i asked her as i looked over at her.

"his competition is luca." she informed me.

"luca? holden's kid? you're still seeing him?" i asked.

"he's still hot." she replied before shrugging. "i'm having a bit of a hard time choosing between the two of them."

"is that why you asked me here?" i asked the blonde.

"kind of! what good will it be without a second opinion?!" she countered.

i shook my head, "honey, i can't tell you what to do with your own love life."

"fine. maybe you can help me with my future." she said.

"using the word 'future' to stand in for 'love life' won't work, jemma." i told her.

she shook her hand and chucked, "i'm serious. i recently got booked to model with vogue and it's been taking off...but now i'm wondering should i forget all about psychology and have modeling be my main focus? i know everyone says modeling isn't stable, and when you get old it's over. but i don't know."

i glanced over at my niece and then shrugged, "honey...do what makes you happy. whatever you decide in terms of modeling or psychology is up to you. not me, not your dad, not society. do what is going to be fulfilling to you. don't live life with regrets, and don't spend all your time wondering about the 'what if's'. make the 'what ifs' become reality. okay?" i told her sincerely.

"i'd be working at vogue." she breathed out. "i've never been in there, i just know my photos are up in there."

"you know, carrie just got a job there." i informed her.

she raised her eyebrows as we picked up our drinks, thanking kai. "seriously?"

"yeah, we should check it out. and 'surprise' her." i said using air quotes.

"we should! that would be so cute! you in?" she asked as we headed towards the table, sitting down across from each other.

"i'm down." i replied with a nod and took a long sip of my drink. "this is so good!"

VOGUE
new york, new york
6:15pm

jemma and i walked up to the receptionist, "hi, is carrie bradshaw here? she's working as a columnist," i told the receptionist.

she nodded. "she should be around there somewhere. just head on back." the woman told us.

jemma and i walked to the back, taking in the busy workers of vogue before a voice shot us into reality. "jamie boyd?! what are you doing here?" a woman said.

confused, i looked over only to see amelia. duncan's amelia. "amelia! hi!" i replied with a smile plastered across my face as i allowed the younger girl to pull me into a tight hug.

"what are you doing here?" she asked as she pulled back. "and hey, this is the model! she's right there." she said as she pointed to jemma's framed photo on the wall.

"yeah, that's cute. i'm here to see carrie bradshaw, i know she works here now..." i explained.

"carrie, of course. that little genius. i'll walk you to her." amelia said as she started to walk. "so how are you?" she questioned.

"just fine. how about yourself? you look great!" i complimented.

"thanks." she said with an appreciative smile on her face. "i've been great myself. things have been going well...i met a wonderful guy."

"you got yourself a man?" i asked excitedly. "congrats! who is he?" i pried, wanting to know every detail about him.

"his name is isaac, he's a lawyer." she said.

"lawyer, huh?" i replied as i followed her. "well good for you!"

"mhm," she hummed. "after duncan broke up with me, i realized who needs him? so i got better!" she said with a laugh.

"i'm very happy for you." i replied sincerely as i placed a hand on her shoulder.

"thanks, jamie. seriously." she replied as she led me to an office space. "plus, duncan's dog was never gonna like me which was a dealbreaker in his book."

"dogs are a man's best friend." i told her.

"and diamonds are a girls best friend." she said as she looked at the ring on her finger. "it's not an engagement ring or anything, just a gift that issac gave me. isn't it beautiful?"

"very." i told her.

"anyway, this is carrie. since she's not a full time worker here, we have her in a temps room for when she does write here. great meeting you jemma, always nice seeing you, jamie." amelia said with a smile.

i entered the room and smiled as carrie looked up from her desk, a big toothy smile on her face as she saw me, "hey, you!" she squealed as she got up.

"hi, carrie," i said happily as i pulled her in for a hug. "wow." i breathed out as i looked at her. "you look amazing!"

"so do you!" she replied with a smile as she pulled away and turned her attention to jemma. "and you are looking fabulous, jemma."

"thanks carrie." jemma replied, an appreciative smile on her face.

i leaned up against the wall, studying the blonde woman before me. "so you're working here now? how in the hell did you get a job here?"

"they pay me four dollars a word. can you believe it?" she said proudly.

"seriously?! that's crazy!" i told her.

"right? i mean, it's not much when it comes to writing an entire column but it's better than zero! now..." she looked jemma up and down in appreciation. "what are you doing here, model?" she inquired. "come to rub it in my face?"

"of course not," jemma replied as she shook her head. "i just wanted to say hi."

i raised an eyebrow as i watched as the three of us talked.

"how is modeling going for you?" carrie asked. "i don't know how you do it...all the stress and being so in the public eye. your face is all over the place."

"it's a lot of hard work, but there are perks." she replied with a wink. "plus, it keeps me busy, and i can do school and modeling."

"but she's wondering if she should keep up with being a psych major just focus on modeling." i informed my friend.

"i honestly don't know what you should do, jemma. i'm a big advocate for doing things that make you happy. do you feel like modeling is fulfilling for you?" carrie inquired.

jemma nodded, "i feel so much passion when i'm modeling. like when you're writing, you feel so happy...i feel that way when i'm modeling for a new shoot or i get approached by a big time director. i feel like a little kid at christmas."

carrie nodded in understanding as she crossed her arms, "go with your gut and where your heart wants to go. don't do things because other people expect you to do so." she told my niece.

CHARLOTTE AND DAKOTA'S SHARED APARTMENT
new york, new york
12pm

i was invited to their grand park avenue apartment by two smiling faces. charlotte and dakota. "jamie, hey!" the two said simultaneously.

"hey, hey. i come bearing gifts." i said as i held up a perfectly wrapped gift.

"well, come on in. everyones in the living room." charlotte said as she escorted me to the living where everyone was. there had to have been at least twenty people in their living room, all there to celebrate miranda and her new baby.

as i sat down next to carrie and miranda, dakota peeked his head into the living room. "alright ladies, i'll give you all your girl time. i'll be in my study if anyone needs me." he announced.

"we won't!" i called out jokingly and he waved his hand before walking away.

"it's gift time!" charlotte said.

i watched as lawyers after lawyers shared their gifts with miranda before hearing, "i could fuck her under the table." come out of samantha's mouth.

i looked over with raised eyebrows, "wasn't expecting that." i said getting a laugh.

"the threesome with richard didn't go as planned. that bitch tried to take over!" she whisper yelled. "i have tricks she hasn't even seen."

"those trix aren't for kids." carrie said with a nod.

"and no matter what happens, she's just renting him. i own." samantha concluded.

"i like the way you think," i complimented.

"although, i don't really own." samantha said.

"it's more of an illegal sub-let kind of thing?" carrie guessed.

samantha nodded. "exactly!"

miranda then opened a gift and looked at it confused. "it's a breast pump." the woman who gifted it to her said. "you know, i didn't want you coming to my office to borrow mine." she said as she bounced her baby. "i have to use the restroom. you take charles." she said as she sat the baby in miranda's lap.

miranda smiled and grabbed a hold of the young boy, but as soon as she left, she sat the baby on the couch next to me. "alright ladies, let's keep the gifts coming!" she said, not paying attention to the baby as he almost fell off of the couch.

"miranda!" i whisper yelled as i grabbed a hold of the baby.

"yeah?" she asked, completely oblivious to my quick thinking.

"nothing..." i said as i held the baby.

she smiled and whispered, "between you and me you look much better holding that baby than i ever would." she said.

"you're gonna be a great mom." i said with a crooked smile before charlotte jumped in handing miranda a gift.

"something tells me this is tiffany!" she said in a singy-songy way.

miranda opened the gift to see a tiffany rattle. "this is beautiful," miranda said.

charlotte's face saddened. "oh my god...that's exactly like the rattle dakota gave me when we thought. when we thought we had a baby." she cried out.

"are you okay?" miranda asked.

"i'm fine. i'm sorry everyone! please excuse me." the brunette girl said as she made her way farther into her apartment.

still holding baby charles, i followed charlotte's lead which took me to the study where i saw charlotte and dakota hugging. i gave the two a sad smile, only dakota saw as charlotte was leaned into the crook of his neck. he gave me a wave and a sad smile as i walked away.
