Michi had taken a little bit of a break from all the dancing, it was pretty tiring being on her feet for that long. She wasn't entirely oblivious to the weirdness that was going on but she hadn't yet seen Hunter or Mack. After resting a while she got up and headed straight for the snack table. She had been contemplating the snacks when she heard Shelby from next to her.

Turning, she blushed and looked at him strangely. Did he just hit on her? "Oh... thanks," she said trying to flatten her dress, she was sure he was just being friendly and shook it off. Everyone had a soft spot for preggos right?

"Maybe a drink?" she asked. "How's the punch? Not spiked yet is it?" she asked hopefully. She was pretty thirsty and didn't want to drink it without knowing. "The doctor said booze isn't good for Monkey but a little wouldn't hurt. I mean, I knew booze wasn't good for babies and I wouldn't wanna risk it or nothin'," she rambled. The closer she was getting to her due date, the more nervous she was getting about how good a mom she would end up being and the way people would judge her ability.

"No seriously. Amazing." Shelby replied, unable to stop himself from checking her out again. He looked back up her face with a silly grin, fumbling for the cups behind him by the punch bowl. He couldn't believe his eyes almost. Seriously hands down the sexiest chick he'd even seen. How had he ever lived without her?

Managing to pull his eyes off of Michi long enough to pour her a glass of punch, he turned back around holding out the cup. "Nope. No worries, I'm looking out for you and the little man." Passing her the cup, he rested his hand open palmed on her stomach, beaming like a proud dad.

"I'd never let anything happen to either of ya Mich. I'm like totally in love with ya girl."

She blushed furiously. "Well you're looking quite dapper tonight as well," she said accepting the punch. She was so used to hands on her belly that it didn't even phase her until he said he loved her.

She had been taking a sip of the punch and almost spit it out in surprise when he said it. She forced herself to swallow the punch though and looked at him sympathetically. "Oh sweetie," she put her hand on his cheek.

It suddenly occurred to her that Shelby was like... totally right for her. "I'm like totally in love with you too," she said dreamily. "You'd be such a good dad, worrying over lil Monkey and all," she giggled nervously.

"Oh man really? You really mean that Mich?" Shelby gushed, wrapping his arms around his friend and hugging her, when she said she loved him back. It had to be the best hug he ever had.

"I love kids girl. Ya gotta look out for 'em. I totally would." He was just thinking that exact same thing. They had to be soul-mates.

"You're gonna be like the best mom in the world too, no joke girl." Shelby blushed a bit, picking up his punch back up off the table, downing another mouthful. "Sexiest too." He added, peering up over the top of his cup, eyeing her.

"Let me be your baby daddy Mich. I promise to love you and the little man forever. I can't believe you love me too."

Michi hugged him back, nuzzling his neck, pressing a little kiss there was well. "I totally mean it." She pulled back just enough to look him in the face. She curled her fingers into his hair, giggling madly as he complimented her. "Damn Shelb, you're gonna make me all blushy," she said shyly.

"Really?" she asked him hopefully. "I don't think I know anyone who would be a better baby daddy for Monkey than you. Let's get married!" she said just as suddenly. "I can't believe I've been letting you get away for so long," she said, giggling. "Silly me!"

"Me either girl!" Shelby giggled back, "I shoulda scooped you up like.. the first time I laid eyes on ya er’ somethin’ ma. Of course I’ll marry you.” He leaned in and kissed her but pulled back beaming at her and putting his hand back on her belly. He really wished he would kick or something, that actually be pretty fucking cool. He felt bad, like he missed her whole pregnancy. He’d been a fool to not be there for her from the start, obviously.

"We're gonna be the happiest family ever Mich, I just know it. I can like feel it or some shit. This is seriously the best valentine's day I've ever had! I just wish I had a ring or something for you... you deserve a ring girl, like a big fucking blinged out one.”

"You totally shoulda," she giggled. "Your hair is amazing, like... the best hair ever," she was so excited that he kissed her she was practically bouncing. "We're gonna have an amazing family no matter what," she grinned.

"Aw, I don't need nothing but you baby," she said wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him again.

“Uh.. It’s such a mess.” Shelby giggled back, pulling his hat off a bit to adjust it. “It just like does whatever it wants.” he laughed again, shaking his hair a bit. “You’re hair looks really pretty too. And like smells really good.. like your shampoo or something I think.” He blushed abit again, pulling his hat down abit, awkwardly.

“I want to though Mich, you totally deserve it. I promise by real Valentine’s Day for sure!” When Michi wrapped her arms around Shelby’s neck, he put his arms around her waist pulling her in a bit. Kissing her back as he did. “I never thought I wanna get married like this babe but this so amazing! We’re amazing! Like I’m such a pothead what was I thinking dude.”

She kept playing with his hair and pouting a bit. "Baby, your hair is not a mess. I've always loved it." She giggled at his comment. "I use Garnier," she blushed. "Smells real fruity."

"Seriously? This is going to be the best Valentine's Day ever," she said brightly. "I can't believe it! How did I get so lucky to finally run into someone like you?"

"We are amazing," she agreed. "I'll totally love you no matter what," she said brushing it off. "Pothead or not, you're the only man for me."

"Oh wow, it does yeah totally. I use Herbal Essences for curly hair." He smiled, tossing his hair and giggling a bit. "How fruity is that? Makes it super soft and shit though."

Shelby thought for a second, grinning big. He really didn't even know. He was like lucky one really! A baby and a fiance, all in one night, like wow! "How did you get so lucky?" He asked finally looked a it dazed, but giggling a bit. "How did I get so lucky, Mich? You're the most beautiful girl in the school, I swear man!"

He kissed her again when she agreed with him but then pulled back a bit to talk to her face to face. He was really taking this shit seriously. "No way, I totally fucking am, you and the baby don't deserve that shit either. I should be spending my cash on you two, not that stuff. I've been a total douche." He really didn't know what he'd been thinking at all. He had to start getting his life together. Baby stuff was expensive, right? And weed was like worse for the little fella than booze, he was pretty sure.

"Not fruity at all, man's gotta take care of his hair, especially when it's as gorgeous as yours," she said dreamily. She pressed her face into his hair and sighed happily. "Sooooo soft."

"Awww, you're story tellin'! It's awful sweet but you're so full of it. Aint no way I'm the most beautiful girl in school!" she flushed. "You're the hottest guy though. I bet everyone is wonderin' why you would ever waste yer time on the likes of me, big old blimpy over here," she sighed.

"Oh baby," she cooed. She was impressed that he was taking it all so seriously. "I wouldn't ask you to change a dang hair on your head but that's just so sweet, volunteering to stop smokin' for me and the boo," she pulled him in for another kiss. "You haven't been a total douche! We've just been deluded these past few months. We shoulda been together the whole time!"
