Not your typical baby mama

"Give me a siiiiiiiiiiiign! Hit me baby one more time!" Steph and Becky sung in unison. "Baby one more time by Britney Spears!"

"Correct!" Amy ruled out.

"Yes!" They high-fived each other while the other teams groaned in annoyance.

"Let's listen to the next song", Amy said as she held a card to her chest.

The women fell silent as Edmund played the song. The room had been beautifully decorated with a white, black and gold theme. On one corner, there was a mountain of gifts, some big and some small. Amy felt giddy wondering what they got her.

Edmund stopped the song after playing it for ten seconds. They were currently in the middle of the game called 'name that tune'. A compilation of songs had been created with each song having the word baby in it. The women were divided into teams of two comprising of Becky and Steph, Victoria and Kris, and Adelaide and Stella. As Amy was the judge she had the answers to the songs on the card she held.

"I know this song!" Kris mumbled as she racked her brain for answers.

"Me too! Me too!" Victoria answered.

"Uh..." Steph started.

"Give us a chance! You guys won the first two times already!" Kris said in annoyance.

"Can you play it one more time?" Victoria gave Edmund a pitiful look. He looked at Amy who nodded away.

"Whispered something in your ear.."

"Oh!" Victoria and Kris shouted at the same time and sung together. "It was a perverted thing to say, but I said it anyway. . Made you smile and look away..... Nothing's gonna hurt you baby!"

"By cigarettes after sex!" Victoria shouted from her sit and did a mini happy dance.

"Correct", Amy said with a laugh. "Next song please."

Edmund played the intro and Becky immediately jumped into it. "Just say you feel the way I feel, I'm feeling sexual so we should be sexual..."

"Sexual by Neiked!" Steph answered.

"Aren't the songs a bit suggestive?" Adelaide voiced her thought.

"You're only saying that because you haven't scored a point", Becky stuck her tongue out at her.

"Actually, I've noticed it too. I won't be surprised if sexual healing made it to the list", Kris said with a shake of her head.

Amy looked down at the list and let out a soft gasp. Victoria immediately stood up to go and check the list. Her face contorted in annoyance when she saw the songs. They were either about missing someone or doing dirty things to or with them.

"This is name that tune with a dirty twist", Steph shook her head in amusement.

"If you had let us in on this, we would have helped you plan", Kris sneered.

"I didn't prepare this list", Victoria said through gritted teeth.

"We don't know that. But seriously, what type of message are you trying to give to your grandchild?" Kris continued to mock.

"At least I have a grandchild", Victoria said as she left the living with a phone pressed to her ear leaving Kris who had on an ugly expression and looked like she wanted to break something.

Adelaide noticed Stella's jaw drop at Victoria's jab and she patted the top of her hand in consolation. "Trust me. It gets worse."

Amy shook her head, she still wondered how the two maintained a friendship even when they were always onto each other's throats. She decided not to butt as she had learned that it was how they were. Meanwhile, Victoria stopped in the corridor as she attended to her call.

"Miss me already?" Henry's charming laugh resounded from the other end.

"What did you do to the song list?" She hissed in annoyance.

"I'm sure I gave you the flashdrive. Did you misplace it?" He asked, confused.

"That's not it! I have it but they are all..... suggestive songs!" She was both embarrassed and upset with him.

"Well, I had you in mind when I compiled the list", he confessed. After all, she had made that request whilst they were in bed calming down from their little tryst. He felt that she shouldn't blame him. With the timing, it's all he could think about.

"Henry!" She whisper shouted with gritted teeth before exhaling deeply. "I asked you to make a compilation of songs with the word baby in it."

"And I did!"

"For the baby shower!"

​ "Oh." He fell quiet now realizing why his wife was upset. "You didn't play them yet, did you?"

"Ugh!" She terminated the call. Would she be calling him if that was the case? She should have known better than to ask for his help. She did some breathing exercises, calming herself down before walking back into the living room.

"I have to apologise for that", she said to everyone especially Amy, who shook her head silently saying it's okay. "So, why don't we move on to the giving of gifts part. Afterwards, we'll relax with a little spa treatment."

"Ooooooooh!"

The ladies grew excited at this. Amy put away the food she was eating and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She felt giddy and anticipated the gifts she was to receive.

"Let me go first", Adelaide said excitedly as she stood up to get her gift.

All the women had their turns giving her gifts. Adelaide gave her four nightlights, one with a cloud shape, pine shape, puppy face, and a heart shape. Steph gave her a set of clothes containing a bib, onesie, shorts, a little shirt, socks, gloves, and a matching beanie. Becky gave her a playing mat and a baby bouncer.

Kris gave her two gift cards, one for a baby store and the other for a famous shopping mall where Amy could spoil herself to new clothes. Victoria gave a box containing all baby feeding necessities from bottles, mini plates, spoons, forks, and a bib as well. Amy was surprised that she went all minimal until the older woman leaned in to her ear.

"The rest is on its way", she whispered, making Amy laugh.

"Thank you", she said with a laugh.

Next was Stella who, with Edmund's help, gave her a huge box. Unwrapping it, there was so much. Her eyes sparkled as she fell speechless and more curious.

"This is from the book club and I", Stella said when she saw Amy's curious gaze.

The book club. She had left without much a word to them and yet they did this for her. A tear fell on her cheek which she quickly wiped away. Now what did they get for her?
