Raven stood outside Macy's department store staring into the window at the gown on the mannequin. It was a deep plum silk trimmed with black bugle beads along ever loop to the floor. The bodice was embroidered with tiny silver roses. Shes sighed, taking the worn grey cap from her head to wipe the sweat from her brow.
She looked down at the tattered black skirt she wore and her threadbare shirtwaste and scowled. Raven knew she couldn't even afford one glove, let alone the entire ensemble with the adorable matching hat with black feathers. Those gloves, black silk, matching beads. Raven sighed again.
She was really there for a new pair of shoes, she'd patched hers up for the very last time and had ripped a lace.

Nevada was late. Well....Tristan made her late...distracting her with sex. Like he did quite often. She hoped Rae didnt place a huge value on time because then she'd be in deep shit. Finally she reached Macy's, she saw Rae staring in the window.
'Heya sorry Im late!' Nevada said as she approached, twirling her engagement ring around her finger-a nervous habit she had developed.

"Hey! That's okay, you ready?" Raven said, putting on a smile.
"So uh...what're we looking for? I need new shoes..." Raven said with a sigh.
((I don't think Nevada's told her ANYTHING yet))

(( oooo even jucier!! Haha Nevada will be all excited and Rae's all ehhhhh))
Nevada licked her lips and let her right hand drop from her left, revealing the engagement ring Tristan had given her.
'a wedding dress.' Nevada said with a grin. Nevada was thankful she had chosen to save her money from years of thieving, now she could have money for a nice dress and other such things.

"A what?" Raven stopped walking, letting all the shoppers walk around them. She grabbed Nevada's hand and gaped at the ring.
"Wow..." She blinked. "Uh...wow, congrats..."

Nevada smiled as Rae looked at the ring.
'ya...I....I honestly wasn't expecting this from him. It really took me by surprise. Now there's so much to get done!' Nevada said, feeling her pulse increase as she thought over everything she had to do

"Yea lots!" Raven said, trying to get her excitement up for her. She was happy for her, honestly she was, but things just didn't really excite her lately...actually nothing did. She was constantly in a grey fog.
Raven had been plagued with nightmares since the poker game and what happened to her. Everything that had happened to her in her entire life flooded into her head at night. She was sick and tired of waking up screaming, in a cold sweat. Spot had to think she was going nuts.
And forget about sex, he couldn't touch her. The thought of it made her stomach turn and her skin crawl. Whenever she started to get aroused she'd feel sick. Maybe she should just let Spot fuck her and get it over with, maybe that would help? She had no clue...
and then losing the baby on top of everything? She felt like she was slowly spiraling into madness.
"So, let's buy you a dress!" Raven plastered a smile on her face, grabbed Nevada's hand and started walking.

Nevada caught onto Rae's face but knew better than to ask. She had been through a shit storm and Nevada couldn't expect her to be herself just yet. As they were walking in Nevada passed by someone who was carrying a pungent smelling sandwich and her stomach wretched. Something that had been happening a lot. She pulled her hand away from Rae and booked it to a trash can.
She threw up the contents of her breakfast. She would be thankful when this whole throwing up part of pregnancy was over. When she was done she stood up, wiped at her mouth with one hand and set her other hand over her stomach.
'Sorry,' Nevada said sheepishly, 'im okay now--I think. Let's go shop.'

Raven stood there staring at her for a second and raised an eyebrow. She didn't ask though, she couldn't. She could not handle the answer to this question. She just couldn't.
Raven nodded and continued to the women's clothing section of the store.
"Did Tristan tell Spot yet?" Raven inquired, fingering a plain maroon skirt in her fingers, glancing at Nevada.

'I think he was gonna tell him today actually,' Nevada said as she glanced around, looking for wedding dresses.
She made a face as she realized the nausea was still there and that she was beginning to sweat. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and stood swaying for a moment, trying to decide whether or not to go to the bathroom

"It's back there," Raven said pointing, referring to the restroom. She'd been in Macy's enough times to have memorized the entire layout, dreaming about owning any countless number of pretty things. It all seemed so stupid now.

Nevada nodded and made her way towards the bathroom. She pushed her way through some women who were miffed at her behavior. she almost wishes she threw up on them-teach those asses a lesson.
Nevada burst into the bathroom, just barely making it to the toilet. When she was done she sat there with her arms wrapped around the bowl.
'I think I'm the only person who's ever lost weight while pregnant,' Nevada said to no one in particular.
(( ps did we decide on twins? Haha))

((she could totally have twins LOL))
Raven had made her way far more calmly to the bathroom behind Nevada so she caught what Nevada had said.
"You're pregnant?" Raven asked, but she had already known, hearing out loud was a different story altogether.
Raven could feel this tightness rising up in her, her throat clogging, her stomach clenched tight.

(( adorbs! Hahaha))
Nevada jumped when she heard Rae. She thought she was alone. Slowly Nevada got to her feet and nodded.
'yes....I'm pregnant.' Nevada said, it was odd saying it out loud to someone besides Tristan. 'I suppose its only a matter of time before everyone else finds out,' Nevada said as she made her way to the sink to rinse her mouth out.
'i just wish the doctor would have told me how awful the getting sick part was.'

"Yea I guess so," Raven said and then gulped, she clutched the sink with her hands.
She felt...she didn't know what she felt. Nevada was living her life, if things had been reverse it might have been Rae shopping for a wedding dress, not Nevada. She would still be pregnant, happy...getting ready to spend her life with Spot, maybe, who knew with him.
"I'm...happy for you," Raven said through clenched teeth. She could feel her face flushing, pink rising in her cheeks, her eyes welled up and she hurried out of the bathroom. She needed air.
((OR if you wanted her to just have one this time, can you see him with a little redheaded girl? HOLY CRAP CUTE and the next group could be twins...because she will have more babies, he's fertility incarnate))
