Just the Girl in the Mirror

“So classes start back up on the 20th, baby,” I said looking at the VCU website.
“Ok, cool,” said my very pregnant fiancé from the bathroom at our new house.
I had “passed the gavel” to the next frat president and with that the other guys left the house as well. Selena and CC moved in to their own apartment in the Lofts, while Jake, Jinxx, and Ashley shared a house on the same side of town as us. Naomi’s death was still fresh, but none of us could stomach living near the place where she died.
I smiled at DJ who wore an old oversized t-shirt of mine and some pajama bottoms. She was the cutest pregnant woman I had ever laid eyes on.
“Have I told you how beautiful you are today, princess?” I asked, looking at her longingly.
“Why I don’t believe you did,” she said, smirking.
“Well, I apologize because you are absolutely stunning in my old Batman t-shirt, my lady,”
She laughed for a minute and stopped suddenly, grabbing her belly.
“She jabbed me really good just then,” she said, wincing.
“What do we want to name her?” I asked as my mind danced over to the subject.
“Well,” DJ said, sitting down on my lap, “how about Lynn Marie?”
I knew why she wanted Lynn; that was Naomi’s middle name. To be honest, I couldn’t think of a better one than that.
“That’s perfect, baby,” I said, rubbing her stomach, “God, you are turning me on, being all preggers and shit.”
She slapped me playfully on the shoulder as she got up, and walked to the window.
“So, I have to brave the elements to pick up my dress today,” she stated, watching the rain pour from the blackened sky.
“Want Ash to come with you?” I asked, “I’m not allowed to see you in it til our wedding day, so…”
“I’ll give him a call,” she stated, and walked out of the room for a minute.
It was so surreal; I was about to be a husband AND a father, within a matter of a couple months. I couldn’t be more ready for it though. I dropped my schedule to at least one class a day and DJ went to school online now. The VCU student traffic was too risky for her in her condition. In other words, I would have to kill someone if they so much as tapped her with a binder.
“He said he will be over in a few; he is finishing up a surprise for our baby shower.”
She was so stinkin’ cute. Our reception was our baby shower, and all of her family, my parents, the guys, and Naomi’s family would be there. I was getting more excited as the days went on.
But as I stated before, it is August 2nd, and we would be Mr. and Mrs. Andrew D. Biersack in two weeks and counting. Having her as my wife would be more than an honor in my book.
I heard Ashley before I saw him; looking at the window, I saw his black 2013 Mustang pull up in front of our house.
“Baby, he’s here,” I called out to her down the hall, resulting in her coming out of the nursery.
“I love you, Andy,” she said, giving me a sweet kiss.
“You drive me crazy woman,” I hissed, biting my lip as her beautifully full hips made their way down the stairs.
“You can tap this pregnant bitch when she returns,” Ashley yelled from the door as he opened it and obviously heard me.
“You jerk,” she said, punching him in the arm.
“I’ll have her back soon, Biersack,”
“Thanks man,”
And with that, I had the house to myself. I decided to do some light cleaning while she was gone. I had become quite the neat freak since we found out what we were having. My little girl wasn’t going to be living in filth, which was for sure.
My phone buzzed, scaring me out of my zombie like cleaning fit.
Checking it, I was appalled.
Juliet messaged me.

Me: what do you want?
Juliet: I heard you were getting married in a couple weeks; I couldn’t talk you into changing your mind could I?
Me: Fuck no, bitch; you had your chance and blew it.
Juliet: But Andrew…
Me: No, fuck you.
Juliet: I’m out side of your house.

I was actually pretty afraid to be honest. Peaking out the living room blinds, sure enough she was standing there holding and umbrella.
Me: Hey, Ash, I have a problem.
Ash: whats up?
Me: Juliet showed up at our house.
Ash: We are heading back now; don’t go outside alone.

Just when I thought we were done with crazy bitches, one of my exes returns. Scout and DJ get along fine now; hell, she was even invited to the wedding. Scout was excited for the baby, too. Why the hell did Juliet have to be so vengeful?
Seeing the Mustang pull back up and Ashley get out to let DJ out prompted me to leave the comfort of my living space.
“Hi Ashley,” Juliet said flirtatiously.
“What the hell do you want,” he shot at her, opening DJ’s door.
I ran out into the pouring down rain with an umbrella for her, and helped her out of the low-sitting vehicle.
“Well, look what the slut puppy dragged in,” DJ said and turned to Ashley, “I thought trash pickup wasn’t until Tuesday?”
“You bitch,” Juliet sneered, and reared a fist back.
Before I could do anything, Ashley stood in front of her and stared her down.
“You touch my best friend with that fist and you will be in a world of hurt, Juliet,” he said with anger apparent in his tone.
“Purdy, have you gone soft or something,” the bitch shot at him, leaning back on her right leg and crossing her arms.
“No,” he began, “But she is my friend; one of the best I have had since meeting the guys. And if you come near them again, I will be ready to deal with it. We’ve had enough of crazy bitches!”
Juliet laughed, running her hands through her short blonde hair.
“Oh please, Purdy, you couldn’t if you wanted to,”
“Bitch, try me,”
“Ashley, that’s enough,” DJ said gruffly, “And I suggest you go somewhere you are wanted, tramp.”
Juliet huffed, walked back to her rental car, and took off.
“Why the hell can I not get a break?” DJ asked, looking up to the sky.
“Come on baby, let’s get you inside,” I said, helping her up the front walk, “Hey Ash, you got the dress?”
“Right here,” he said, pointing to the bagged garment.

I worried that she would show up again before the wedding, but before I knew it was the morning before DJ would be my misses.
And my heart was doing back flips.

Notes

Juliet is back, and in full force. what will happen after the wedding?
