Never Enough - By Ashley Johnson Page 0,59

Trevor because I was at a loss for words. It’s like my voice had gone away and I just sat there on the couch.

“Macy, I love you and if this is what you want I will not stand in your way but as your uncle I am here for you no matter what. Like I told you two before, you are grown adults and I trust your decisions. Come give me a hug, congratulations baby girl!”

I graciously hugged my Uncle Gary and held him tight. “Thank you for your blessing. It means the world to me.”

“Let me see this picture. Look how tiny it is.” Uncle Gary was in awe. I’d never seen him around kids before but I couldn’t wait for him to hold the baby when it was born. He handed the picture back and got serious. “I don’t know about you working in the bar anymore Macy. You can work there for now but once you start showing I don’t want you at risk of getting hurt and hurting that baby do you understand?”

I nodded and replied, “Yes sir.”

Trevor sat there listening and beaming. This was probably one of the happiest days of both of our lives. “Thank you Gary for everything. We owe you big time.”

Gary shook his head and laughed, “You two crazy kids don’t owe me a thing. Go enjoy the rest of your day before work and take it easy Macy.” I hugged him and Trevor shook his hand and we left.

“Ohmigod babe, that went so good! I can’t believe we have his blessing!” I leaned over and gave him a big kiss before we headed home. Things were going so well for us I couldn’t believe it.

All four of us rode to The Lounge together. The crowd was still small when we arrived so I was able to mingle with Halley before stepping behind the bar. Gary gave me a wink and walked into his office.

“I can’t believe how awesome he was with all the news.” Halley was as excited if not more excited as I was.

Marcus and Trevor had gone to begin setting up so they didn’t have to later. Trevor looked like a completely different man from where I stood. You know how they say the woman has the glow? It totally looked like he was glowing. He was so happy and so was I. They took less than ten minutes to set up and were back by us. Marcus wrapped his arms around Halley and they shared a kiss.

“Hey hey guys careful that’s how babies are made!” Marcus punched Trevor in the arm and went back to kissing Halley. I laughed and laid my hand on my barely belly.

Trevor pulled me to the side and kissed my belly then my lips. “Take it easy tonight. If you start to feel bad or anything sit down.”

“Yes sir. I’m barely pregnant not about to pop. I’ll be ok I promise. I’ve got water to drink and you to listen to I’m good!” I kissed him to reassure him. He held me for a few minutes before letting me go.

I wanted to sing but I wasn’t sure what to sing tonight. Halley had just sat at the bar and saw the look on my face. “Are you constipated? You know I hear that can happen when you’re pregnant.”

“Hell no! I was trying to think of something to sing. And really Hales, that’s’ gross.” I was almost doubled over laughing. “Want to sing with me?”

“Depends what it is.” She eyeballed me trying to determine what I was about to throw her way.

“Girls just want to have fun?”

“HELL YES!” She grabbed my hand and practically drug me to the stage. I caught Marcus’s eye and he was laughing hysterically at his crazy mess of a girlfriend.

She told the DJ our choice and we jumped on stage. I figure since I was with child I needed to pack away the blue jean skirt so I wore my jeans and a fitted pink shirt. The popular Cyndi Lauper tune began and we danced while we sang our hearts out. We must have been thoroughly entertaining because the crowd was singing along with us. Hell even Marcus and Trevor were singing along on their stage. The crowd went wild when we were done and Halley and I thanked them. That was fun. I would miss this. I made my way behind the bar and began making drinks. It’s funny I would have normally been downing shots by
