55 Flash Fiction Friday - Best Friends

Two women, brought together as infants, met at Cosi for their weekly get-together coffee, dinner, and dessert. "Guess what? Alex proposed on Saturday. I'm getting married! You have to be my matron of honor. So will you?” "You know I will, but only if it's after my baby's born!" “I’m going to be an auntie???”

If it's either a) or c), please give me a call."
