Hi! First off, I renovated Nina's condo. The story line is supposed to be now that Dina renovated it for her sister,
now that she gets the moolah from Mortimer. I didn't mention that in the story but let's just pretend I did

Chapter 18 - Club Brunch

-----Le Magnifique! International Restaurant, Bluewater Village-----



"I am so disgusting!!!" Dina exclaims, "I’m bloated and I can’t stop eating pickles! I had a whole jar this morning! I’m a monster!!!"



"You’ve got to calm down, Dina. It’s not the end of the world," Nina says, "You’re gonna be fine. Right Brandi?"



"Uh huh, we’ll get through it together."



"Oh, guys! Don’t ever leave me!!"

"So how did Ryan take the news, Nina?" Brandi Broke asks her friend.



"Well, he was shocked at first as anyone guy would I figured. But I think he handled it well pretty well," she says,



"I told him that it might not be his baby and he understood considering the circumstances of how we met."



"But he’s going to be there for me no matter what. I mean, we’re madly in love
with each other. I don’t think it’s gonna matter to him if the baby is his or not."



"You’re so lucky you got yourself a guy like Ryan," says Brandi, wishing she was in Nina’s position.

"Have you told Don yet?" Dina says.



Nina twirls her fork on the plate of salad.



"Well?" Dina pressures her sisters.



"Umm," Nina stalls, "No?"



"Nina! How could you not? It’s possible that he’s the father, too!"



"I’m really happy with Ryan. I just don’t want anything to do with Don. He’s engaged to your step-daughter, Dina."

"Nina has a point," says Brandi, "You shouldn’t drag him into it if you don’t want to. Don Lotharios is bad new."



"I heard he’s doing that town-whore maid while Cassandra is away at the gallery," Dina whispers.



"I wouldn’t be surprised. Did I tell you he drunk-dialed me one night? He told me he loved me and that he can’t
live without me. Then he asked me to come over to his house while Cassandra was sleeping in the bedroom."

"Ugh, he is such a pig," says Dina with a scorned voice.



"Alright girls, it’s time for me to go feed Bryce. Dustin and Angela can only baby-sit for me for too long."

"Oh, I hope I’ll as good a mother as you are, Brandi," says Nina.



"And I hope I’ll be half as good a mother as you’ll be, sis," Dina smiles.

"Wait a minute. Girls, shhh!" Brandi sits back down as she rise from her seat, "Is that Cassandra Goth?"





"Oh my god, she’s pregnant!" Dina’s jaws drops.



The table automatically turns to Nina, and waits for a reaction from Don Lothario’s former flame.



"I don’t know what to say."
