[COURTNEY FLURRIE]

like lightening and thunder go as one

together we make the perfect storm

something was off by her best friend and Courtney could sense it. she noticed the signs of change including her inability to stomach certain foods, her complete mood swings and how nick seemed to be around more often than usual instead of out gallivanting with his friends in a debauchery kind of way. courtney had not even begun to fathom the idea that her little Melissa could be carrying a child in her stomach and instead took the other possible answers such as stress, anxiety, or actually falling ill to some kind of bug that was roaming around the campus. as she descending the stairs, moving down them slowly, her eyes glazed over a moment and she stopped mid-step. Courtney may have been a fine arts major but she knew that way of life and suddenly flew down the stairs, her feet moving in a blur beneath her ”MEL!”

[/b] she called out loudly, not caring if anyone in the house was slumbering or studying—this was more important. reaching her friend, a grin on her face she placed her hand on either side of her mel’s face, her thumb moving across the skin under her eye, ”you’re pregnant!”[/b] she said, not really giving the chance for her friend to deny it, jumping up and down as the grin grew more and more until it was nearly touching her eyes. her hair was flying around while she was bouncing, jiggling her friend with the hold that she had on her face and dropped her hands, ceasing the jumping, ”whose is it!? what didn’t you tell me sooner!? I wish I had been there to see…you pee on that stick! ugh mel!”[/b], laughing while trying to keep a stern look on her face was difficult and Courtney was soon bouncing around in friend in pure glee to the idea of a new roommate in the house.[/div][/center]

Melissa hadn’t told anyone after finding out, and had only told Nick more recently after the hurricane, actually she hadn’t so much told him as blurted it out at him in a totally random way when she thought her thoughts were staying in her head but they weren’t. She was glad he knew now, they still had things to sort out between them but now at least he knew about something that was a very big deal for them. How to tell her best friend though she wasn’t exactly sure though she didn’t think Court would be upset. If she had to guess she’d bet once she knew Courtney would be happy and excited with a side of Nick being warned once or twenty times that he better not hurt her or the baby or something like that. Shaking her head at herself with a smile she put the finishing touches on the sauce she was making tasting it to make sure it was right. She had noticed they had no spaghetti sauce in the cupboard and it had prompted her into making some.

Hearing Courtney her eyes widened a moment in worry as she set the spoon aside and headed toward the door stopping as her friend came in like she was on a mission of some sort. Freezing as her face was grabbed she blinked in surprise at being told she was pregnant rather than asked and then smiled laughing lightly realizing she should have known Court would figure it out eventually. As Courtney began jumping she moved with her to avoid injury since her friend still had hold of her face then groaned softly. ”Oh god…no court we have to stop bouncing…please.” she said feeling her stomach begin to roll and not wanting to actually end up puking in her best friend’s face cause that was just beyond gross. As her face was let go she leaned back a little and then lifted an eyebrow at her friend in a “are you serious right now?” question. ”Who’s is it? Really Court?” she asked reaching out to tap her friend lightly on the side of the head. ”It’s Nicks and I didn’t tell anyone at first…just told Nick during the hurricane and no…you didn’t need to see me pee on a stick.” she said with a laugh watching court bounce around and shaking her head a little. ”You’re insane.”

the bouncing continued on her own, all the way around her best friend and through most of the area of the kitchen, clapping following suit as well. she was excited, elated by the news of her best friend's impending pregnancy and motherhood that would be coming in the next few months. she could already picture the little budding family with their matching outfits and it made her giggle with excitement. she reminded herself to cancel plans with orlando for that night because the two of them had to celebrate. it was tragic to courtney as she knew the partying and the all-around immaturity would have to end on melissa's end but she was never one for the partying anyway. courtney smiled as she got a tap to the head, "hey hey now! i was just checking cause you and nick are so...grr.."

[/b], curling her fingers to represent claws and letting out a small playful hiss in the direction to insinuate that melissa's and nick's relationship was hardly a smooth road. "he knows though, right? he's excited and ...going to be there, cause if not.."[/b], making another hand motion that involved her punching her own palm of the opposite hand, gesturing to the idea that she would beat nick into the enjoying the idea of fatherhood. the girl was passive most of the time but for her best friend, she would turn a blind eye to her beliefs. "we need to celebrate, now! champagne...or...apple juice for you!"[/b], thrusting her fist into the air in triumph,.[/div][/center]

Melissa watched as Courtney bounced around, amused by her best friend’s antics even if she couldn’t bounce along with her which she wasn’t going to complain about. She knew her friend well enough to know this could go on for awhile and she was glad her friend was happy for her not gearing up for a “you idiot you’re pregnant at your age?” rant she’d been semi expecting. Waiting for Courtney to calm down a little she lent a hip against the counter crossing her arms and watching her. ”We might be “grr” as you put it sometimes but we’re still together and you know better than to think I’d ever cheat on him.” she said seriously while shaking her head at her friends playful antics. She nodded in answer to the question about if Nick new and laughing at the motion that followed, ”You’d have to get in line Court…I’d be punching him first. But no he knows and he’s going to be there. We’re talking again now and things too so it’s all good.” she said very glad that they were speaking again because she didn’t think she could keep it to herself any longer and she needed him to know and be there. She laughed at the talk of celebrating and nodded when it was switched to apple juice, ”Apple juice sounds good, keeping it stocked all the time right now cause it’s one of those things I can drink even when my stomach hates me.” she said moving to get glasses for them.
