Carnage: Book #1 The Story Of Us (Volume 1)(141)

‘Shit G, Mr TDH is at the bar,” Jimmie squeezes my hand as she speaks.

“Fuck,” Ash adds. “He’s still Mr TDH too; just look at him George, that man is sex on legs.”

“Yeah, he spoke to me at the bar earlier, we got papped together, that’ll be interesting tomorrow when I try and explain to Sean why I’m all over the Sunday papers with my ex.”

We are offered more champagne by a topless male waiter and each take one, we find a tall round table and put our drinks down on it and stand and chat. I ask about my nieces and nephews, who I can’t wait to squish and confess to the girls that I’m off the pill and that we are actively trying for a baby, they both shriek in excitement.

“Well it’s about time,” Jimmie says. “I thought perhaps there was something wrong and you just weren’t telling us, I was going to offer you my eggs, my womb even if you needed it.”

I’m stunned into silence; my eyes instantly fill with tears. “You’d do that for me?” I ask her.

“Of course I would, why have you left it so long?”

“You can have my eggs,” Ashley adds. “But f*ck being pregnant again; I wouldn’t do it for myself, let alone any other f*cker.”

I laugh at Ashley’s bluntness; along with me, she’s rubbed shoulders with the worlds beautiful people, but she hadn’t changed a bit from the wild child I’d met at school fifteen years ago, even motherhood hadn’t tamed her.

“We waited because we love our lifestyle, no disrespect to you two, but I’ve seen how hard it can be when the boys are on tour and you have to either bring the kids or arrange babysitters. Now that things aren’t so manic with the boys, I’m ready… we’re ready. We’ve got that last bit of travel bug out of our system by taking this last year off and now we’re ready to be grownups,” I smile as I speak, unable to hide my excitement at the thought of becoming a parent, at the thought of Sean holding a baby in his arms, of a brown eyed baby boy with a mop of curls, just like his Dad’s used to be. I can’t wait.

“Well I’m really pleased for you both; you’ll both be amazing parents.” Jimmie gives me a cuddle.

“Fuck, a little MacBaby running around the place, that’ll be one good looking kid G. I mean Maca’s smoking hot and if I didn’t like cock so much, I wouldn’t kick you out of bed either babe.”

“Thanks Ash, I think.”

“What the f*cks a MacBaby?” Jimmie asks.

“It’s what you get after you have unprotected sex with McCarthy.” Ashley winks.

“And if you’re really lucky, you’ll even get a MacGasm,” She laughs as she speaks.

“Oh I’m more than lucky girls; I’ve been having multiple MacGasms since I was fourteen. I was an underage slut.”

“MacSlut,” Ash and Jimmie say together and we all burst into laughter.

God, this feels so good, a girls night with my sister in laws, who also happen to be my best friends, life doesn’t get much better.

We all clink glasses and talk about this and that for a bit longer before hitting the small dance floor as tune after tune of eighties and nineties club classics are pumped through the sound system.

“I need to wee,” Jimmie says.

“I’ll come too,” I add, obviously being girls, one in, all in but as we approach the ladies room in the VIP bar, we see that there’s a queue, I go back to the bar and ask the bar man if there’s a toilet nearby.

“Here, go out of here and turn left, use the toilet in my office.” Cam holds a bunch of keys in front of my face; I turn and look at him.
