Pepper Monroe
"Wait, you're pregnant?" Pepper put her head down. Kris sounded happy, but she had to admit. She was a bit ashamed. "That's great!" He hugged Pepper tightly, but still leaving a bit of room for her stomach. She couldn't help but smile.
"...umm, Pepper..." Pepper looked at Kris. Her mouth fell open slightly as Kris bent down and picked up the box, then got down on one knee. He opened it and inside was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. She noticed an inscription inside the ring. "I love you, Pepper."
Pepper couldn't move. It felt like her entire body had shut down. "I-i-i..." Pepper loved Kris, she did. But she wasn't one hundred percent sure that she was pregnant. She couldn't force him into marrying her. Pepper ran out of the bakery, breathing heavily. What had she just done?
Pepper got into her car and pulled out her phone. Mina probably wouldn't be the best person to talk to right now. She dialed Zaria's number.
"Hey, Z. I-i-i... Can I come over?"
Zaria Intio
Zaria was asleep, dreaming about John. It had been a while since they hung out. She missed him, a lot. Then her phone rang. She opened her eyes and reached for her phone, hoping it was John.
"Mmm?" she said softly. It was too early to be awake. "Hey, Z. I-i-i... Can I come over?" Zaria sat up in bed. It had been what, two or three months since they'd talked. "Yeah, of course sweetie. Is everything okay?" she asked. It sounded like Pepper was crying. "I'll see you in a little bit."
Zaria got out of bed and took a shower. She figured there would be some crying going on so she got the tissue ready. She was happy to see her best friend again, even if she couldn't get John out of her mind.
