Reena - Preparing for Prom

I'm just a couple weeks away from my due date and I'm just honestly just over the moon that I am finished with my exams. Becuase of my condition, I was given the option of doing the exams sooner than anyone else, I just had to sign a binding agreement that I would not tell anyone about it. Of course, the only person that knows is Reed and his parents, and no one else. Reed also understands and isn't bothering me about it either, the only assistance I'm giving him is helping him with studying which is turning out to be easier than I thought, well sometimes. Reed knows what he's doing but he gets distracted and would rather rub my feet and lie with me, rather than study.

"Babe, you need to study." Reed is on the couch massaging my feet, not paying attention to anything I'm saying with regards to school.

"I am studying." He starts using his thumb and I take a very deep breath and try not to get too relaxed.

"Look," I slap his hand away and throw a notepad at him. "I'm serious."

He pouts at me before finally deciding to take all of this seriously. "I only have two exams left, and they're good. I'm honestly good."

"You sure?" I say eyeing him strongly and he nods and smiles.

"Graduation is on the 17th by the way." He gives me a wink and I look down at my bulging belly and give it a poke.

"Stay in there." He grabs my hand and places his there. "Do whatever you want baby girl."

I laugh.

"Oh, and Prom is next week."

I laugh and get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen, to get a glass of fruit juice. "I ain't have a dress, plus I'm pregnant."

"Well, you should get ready, mom is taking you out to get a dress."

I spin on him, coughing in the moment as the juice stops at my throat. "What?"

"My mom is taking you out to get a dress."

"Oh."

"Yes, so get ready." His phone chirps and he walks up to me to show me the text his mom sent. "See, go."

He finally takes the empty cup from me and slaps me on my ass. "Go."

I roll my eyes and make my way up the stairs, very slowly. When I get to the room, I start undressing and get into the shower. I wash my hair and when I finally get out, Reed is in the room on his laptop.

"Mom's downstairs, waiting."

I sigh and sit on the bed, taking a breather. "I just need a minute."

I lie down and he comes over, a concerned look on his face. "You okay?"

"Your child is sitting on my kidney." I take a shaky breath and rub my side. "She's still turning I guess."

He keeps staring, and I give him a small smile as I get up. "I'm fine. Help me get dressed."

He throws me his big shirt and some tights, while I try to put on my underwear. "I've ruined all your shirts."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He kisses me and throws me a bra, I toss it back.

"Later." I move to the door and he gets up, "You know I'm seeing you through the door."

I smile and hold out my hand, he helps me down the stairs where his mom is waiting.

"Reena, you ready?"

I look down at what I'm wearing, "As ready as I'll ever be."

She takes a hold of my hand, "As long as you're comfortable." I give her a warm smile.

"Thanks."

"Let's go then."

Reed gives me a kiss and squeezes my ass as I slip through the door. "Send me pics."

The drive over was fun, she asked me how I was feeling, about school and how Reed is doing. We mostly talked about the baby though, I can feel that she's excited to be a grandmother, and she's even buying this dress for me because she actually sees me as apart of her family and cares about me.

"I haven't really done any mother-daughter stuff for years, and this is something I'm looking forward to, and I know you must be excited." She glimpses my face and laughs, "Even a little excited Reena, you and Max are going to have fun."

"I know, I've just never liked crowds."

"I picked up on that."

"So that's my problem, I just can't get over it and I am trying but..."

"Just be yourself and enjoy it, you don't have to be anyone or anything else."

"Thank you."

In the next minute, we arrive at a dress store. From the looks of it, it seems pricey and as we're passing the store the dresses on display prove that it is. I'm seeing prices of $1200 to $2000. Reed's mom sees me looking and grabs my hand, "Don't worry about that."

When we step into the store, she immediately pulls me up to the receptionist but I stop at a mannequin admiring the red velvet gown. "Laura, it's nice to see you again."

Laura, the receptionist comes over to where I am and gives me a scornful look from my head to my toe, then they land on my belly and she scowls. "Hello."

I smile and nod, then Reed's mom comes over and introduces us. "Laura this is Reena, she's engaged to Reed, and well as you can see is carrying my grandchild."

"I see. Well, how can I help both of you?"

"Well, prom is here and I want a perfect gown for her."

She looks down at my belly one more time before walking off.

"I don't think she likes me."

"Well, she's Isla's mom."

"Oh."

She looks at me and runs her hand down my drying hair, "We're just here for a dress. Nothing else."

I nod. Next thing I know the door behind us opens and Isla is walking in and when she sees me she stops then smiles as she turns to look at Isla's mom.

"Hi, Mrs. Max." They hug and then she looks at me before looking and walking away.

Reed's mom looks at me, and I take a deep breath. "I'm getting uncomfortable."

"Let's just get this dress and leave."

Laura comes around with five dresses in hand and hands them to me. Reed's mom takes them from me and we walk to the changing room.

Dress after dress until I get to the last one. I immediately loved the feel of the material and the bust section. when I try it on and see that it fits perfectly, I almost want to cry. I look beautiful. I take a quick pic of it, while not revealing much and send it to Reed.

Then I call his mom in and she loves it.

"And the price isn't too bad. $600 isn't bad at all."

I laugh. "If you say so."

She kisses me on my forehead and hugs me. "Come on, let's go."

As I get out the dress and give her so she can get it checked, I find myself on the floor as the pain starts stabbing me in the back. I left the shirt up and try taking deep breaths but it doesn't go away.

"Oh God." I pray it's not the baby coming and just try taking deep breaths, wishing the pain to go away.

It's not long before the pain starts to subside and Reed's mom appears at the door. "Oh God Reena, Isla told me you're in pain." she stoops down and pulls me up, "I'm okay, just need to go home."

She nods and helps me to get to the car. She goes back to the store, gets the clothes and comes to the car. "You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm not in labor."

"Okay, we're going home. Baby must miss Reed."

I laugh a little at that, and on the way home I fall asleep.
