Chapter 138: You Have to Choose

With her best friend now on her eighth month of pregnancy, Emily didn't get to see her as much as she liked. Pam had been working pretty much nonstop in the last few months until the doctor told her she was too stressed out and needed to go on bed rest.

"What have you got for me there?" Pam asked, lying back in her bed on a big pile of pillows.

"Who says it's for you?" Emily teased. She was holding a shopping bag with a paper-wrapped present sticking out of the top.

"You didn't just bring this present over here to torment me when it's meant for someone else?" Pam said, looking fake horrified.

"Okay, it's for you." Emily handed over the bag and watched eagerly as Pam unwrapped the shiny gift paper.

A long-sleeved dress with cute ruffles emerged from the package.

"Maternity dress! Thank you, this is just what I need!" Pam said. "None of my clothes fit me anymore. I swear I go up a size every single day."

"I'm glad this helps." Emily sat down on the bed and gave her friend a hug.
