Disappearance of the Mark

(Nikki P.O.V)

I was sitting in my room reading a book regarding parenting when I heard a knock on the door.

"Nikki, someone special has come to visit you," Cole said while peeking inside the room.

"Who?" I ask while looking at him. He opens the door and moves aside so that I can see the person standing behind him.

"OH MY GOSH, ALISHA," I yelled in surprise and hurried to get up to greet my best friend.

"Easy there, woman," Cole shouted and rushed to help me to get out from the bed. I sign her to come closer and embrace her in a tight hug. Or should I say tried to hug her? But my big bump comes between us. She laughs and hugs me from the side.

"I missed you so much. I have so many things to share with you. But first thing first, I have something to give to you," Alisha said and took out a red rectangle box from her purse and handed it over to me. I open the box to see a beautiful heart-shaped red pendant with a gold chain.
