"I know. AND, they'll be no more of 's yummy meals every night from now on. Just back to my mum's basics." said.
I smiled.
"I'll cook you something nice when we get home today, as a treat then." I replied, lapping up the compliments.
"Yeaaah and me. I'm honestly just thinking, fuck all the girls in the world, 's food is the only one for me." butted in.
I laughed. What a tit.
A tired looking and wandered over to us.
"Haha, somebody's had a bit too much action." winked at .
grinned back.
"Hey . Is in ?" I asked as the door opened.
"He's in his room. You know where it is." His dad smiled back at me, letting me in.
Opening his door, i saw him lying on his back on his double bed.
"Hey babee." He grinned, as i shut his bedroom door behind me.
"Hello you." I smiled back, walking over to his bed, leanining over him.
I kissed him urgently, passion exploding through as we hadn't been able to be affectionate the whole week we had been back at college.
"I saw this gorgeous old geezer on the way here. He had no hair, and warts all on his face. I took the opportunity and asked for some sexytime. So i'm afraid, my johnny went on him."
laughed, searching my jeans pocket for the condom.
He beamed as he grasped it in his hand.
"FINALLY!" He almost shouted.
I smiled back at him as he rolled me over, whilst kissing me, so he was now on top.
I stared at him.
He stared at me.
And then we both started laughing loudly.
"So, where do we go from here ? If you just want to use me as your bitch, i'm cool with that." smiled.
"As tempting as that sounds, i really like you." I smiled back at him.
"Well i really like you too."
"So we're official ?" I asked.
"Most definately. And we're much better than and ." He chuckled.
"There's no question about that." I grinned back.
When i told his face had this 'Told you so' look plastered all over it.
And and joked about bashing up because they were jealous.
didn't really seemed too fussed, she was more engrosed in her and .
"Hey mate." greeted .
"Alright dude." He smiled back, walking past and leading himself into the lounge.
"I think she's still putting her face on. She's been up there for like an hour though, she must be nearly done." said, putting the tv on.
"AHEM." I coughed, as i walked down the stairs, trying to distract and from their fits of laughter at some television programme.
"Just a secon...WOW." did a double take.
"Don't, you're making me feel all self concious." I squirmed, as 's eyes fell on me.
He stood up and kissed me on the nose.
"You have no need to be." He told me.
Hand in hand, we strolled alongside near the river.
"You look beautiful ."
I smiled at him.
"You too ." I grinned back at him.
"So, where are you taking me tonight then ?"
"I thought we'd actually go to a nightclub like we said we would on that holiday." He replied.
"Well as long as you're buying the alcohol." I poked my tonuge out at him.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled
"Come on , you've got to dance. You can't come to a place like this and not dance. That's just gay."
"But i don't DO dancing." He whined.
"Fine, i'll just go find some other guy to dance with. And then i'll have sexytime with him afterwards instead of you." I replied, walking off towards a young looking guy.
Of course i would never think of doing anything with another guy, i just wanted to make my point.
ran off after me, grrabbing my arm, leading me to the dancefloor.
"You know exactly how to get what you want don't you." He complained.
"Too right. But you love it."
"I suppose so." He smiled.
There was some drum and bass or some shit like that playing.
hated that kind of music.
I could tolerate it, but it wasn't really my thing.
After a few drinks, became more confident on the dancefloor.
I giggled as he tried to copy some of the other people's dance moves, thrashing his arms in the air.
"Come on let's get out of here." He finally said, a few hours later.
"Hmmm, ." I groaned, as i felt his soft kisses on my skin.
"Sorry." He apologised, realising he'd woken me up.
"I have a surprise for you." He smiled at me.
"What ? I don't deserve one." I insisted.
"Of course you do. You're my beautiful girfriend, and you put up with me. That deserves more than anything i could ever give you.
He passed me a large box.
I carefully untied the ribbon, and then took the lid off the box.
I gasped.
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it's absolutely gorgeous." I cooed, picking a tiny puppy out of the box.
"Yeah, she's just like you." replied cheesily.
"Thank you babee. Ahhh, this is so exciting. Is there a special occassion i've forgotten or something ?" I asked, giggling as the puppy licked my face excitedly.
"I kinda need to talk to you." replied.
I heard the doubt in his voice and i saw the serious look on his face.
"What's up ?" I asked, my face falling worriedly.
"Well, it's my rents. Their moving us back up north."
"When ?"
"About a month."
I looked down, staring at the ring on my finger, allowing the tears to flow freely down my face.
"Hey, heyyy. Stop that." He pushed my chin up, forcing me to look at him.
Seeing his face i looked at him, thinking this could be one of the last times i see him.
I cried even more, my lip trembling.
"I love you so much. I can't be without you ." I sobbed, clutching the puppy close to me.
He sat there for a few minutes, staring at me, close to tears himself.
"Maybe you don't have to be without me. Maybe I could get my own flat or something."
I looked up at him instantly.
"Are you serious ?"
He nodded.
I smiled as happy tears rushed down my cheeks.
"Please . I need you. Do itttt !"
"Hey . I heard about your rents making you move away. And i was thinking, maybe you could move in with me ? I mean, you'd have to share 's room, but that's fine isn't it ? I don't mind. It would be pretty cool, and i think it'll be good now i've asked to move in. Like, i think will just feel all second best again if she's around me and every day. What do you say ?" asked at college the next day.
"Mate, are you serious ? That would be amazing. It really, really would." beamed, hugging .
"Well 's going round 's tonight, and helping her move in, so we could go home and move all your things in, and then surprise her when she gets back ?"
"Sounds good." replied.
"If you could just put that box in 's room that would be great." shouted from outside to me.
"Yeah sure. Whatever." I sighed. She'd given me the heaviest box's, and there was no please or thank you's coming from her at all.
"Baabbbyyyy, what are you doing here ?" I smiled happily as i noticed sat on the sofa.
He stood up and walked over to me. I placed the box on the floor.
He took my hands and looked into my eyes.
"I was wondering, how would you feel if i didn't move away."
"Ohhh really. Did you find a flat ? Is it amazing ?"
"Yeaaah it is. I've got flatmates. Three of them."
My face dropped.
What if they were all girls ? What if they were all GORGEOUS girls ?
"Oh right." I managed, taking my hands out of his grip and looking down at the floor.
"One of them is pretty amazing. She's absolutely stunning. Her name's ."
I looked up at him confused.
" said i could move in here."
I placed both my hands on either side of his face and rubbed our noses together.
"We're gonna be rooommmiiieeeesss. And we can have sexytime, anytime." I smiled, kissing him.
"AHHH, you two are so loud." I complained, as i emptied an egg into the frying pan.
"No we're not." blushed.
"Believe me, you really are."
"I'm sure you and are too." said.
"No, we're considerate of others you see ?" I replied, laughing.
"Oh, , do you really have to ?" complained, as wandered into the room in his boxers.
"What's wrong with this ? I could be completely naked. Although, i bet you'd prefer that anyway. And, 's wearing the same thing." replied, taking a seat at the table.
"That's different. I'm going out with him. And he's 's brother."
"That's not fair."
"Yeah it is."
"Alright you two, shut up." I laughed, handing a fry up.
"Thank you babee." He grinned, kissing me on the lips.
"Eurgggh, do you have to ?" complained again.
I saw almost choke on his food as he tried to stop himself from shouting at her.
"What, like you two never kiss. What's wrong with that ? We don't complain about it." I replied for him.
" ." She shouted his name, looking for him to back her up.
"Well, i don't really see the problem with them kissing. It would be different if they were fucking at the breakfast table. And it is true, we always kiss infront of them. And i don't see why can't wear just his boxers down here if i am, and you're hardly wearing much else." He replied, looking at her vest top and lacy underwear.
She huffed and walked off in a sulk.
"Sorry mate." apologised.
"Don't worry, she's just being so moody recently." sighed, biting into his toast.
"I just feel so bad for them." I stated, as me and lay in bed a few evenings later.
and were arguing, yet again.
Ever since she'd moved in they'd been at each others throats.
"Promise me, we'll never end up like that ?" said, looking into my eyes.
"Don't be silly. It's never going to happen. Plus, it would be too awkward. Like, who would get if we did split ?" I joked, looking at sleeping in her little dog basket in the corner of the bedroom.
And the name was 's idea. I wasn't too keen on it myself. Especially not for a dog !
Suddenly, we heard the door slam shut.
"I'll go and check up on him." I told , giggling as he slapped my bum on the way out.
Walking into 's room, it looked even more of a mess than it usually did.
There were clothes thrown around all over the place, and a photo frame of and was smashed on the floor.
"I don't know what to do ." sobbed as i sat down next to him on his bed.
"You need to give her time." I reassured him.
"But i NEED her. I know she does my head in sometimes, and all she ever does is moan, but she's a part of me, and i can't cope without that part of me right now." He cried into my chest as i wrapped my arms around him.
"I know it's not going to be easy, but please , give her some space. If you hound her with calls and texts she'll never come round. Trust me. I would never tell you to do this if i wasn't sure that it wouldn't work. I've seen how crazy she is about you. And no matter how many fights you have, that will never change." I soothed.
I stayed up for a few hours, just holding him as he cried, talking me through all these memories that he had of his time with .
Eventually he fell asleep.
After pulling the duvet over him and kissing his forehead goodnight i quietly crept into my room.
was lying under the covers, his arm stretched out across where my body should be.
I smiled as i heard him and both snoring lightly, and together.
He was so perfect. We were so perfect. But my heart was aching for . I had to sort this mess out.
Pulling on one of 's hoodies as the cold air hit my face, i began to quicken my pace, changing it into a light jog.
I knew she hadn't gone home, because her parents were away and she had no key.
Walking over to the bench, i smiled knowingly, as i saw a frame slumped on it, accompanied by a suitcase that was bigger than her.
"What do you want." She hissed once she noticed me.
"I want you to stop being such an immature little girl and actually grow up. This is the real world . Mummy and Daddy won't always be here to help you out. You can't just run away from your problems, you need to start confronting them. Why can't you just apologise to and go back to being happy and normal and having your loud sex again ?"
"Because i just can't . You wouldn't understand."
"I think i understand more than you do."
"Really. Well, how much do you know about pregnancy then ?" She spat back.
My mouth opened in shock.
"You're pregnant. What the ? Have you not been careful ? I thought would have known better." I shook my head, trying to process the information.
"We have been using protection. It doesn't always work you know ? I thought you were meant to be the expert, not me."
"Shit. Well have you decided if you're going to keep it or not ?"
"I have no idea. Is it really fair to bring a child into a world of constant arguing ?" She asked.
I stopped and thought.
"I don't know. But i do know that will do his absolute best for you and this baby. He'll be there, supporting you through it all. And if that means biting his tongue and not arguing back to keep you and this child happy, i know he would. Just please think about it ok. And come home with me before you freeze to death outside." I took 's hoody off and placed it on her, putting an arm around her shoulder, guiding her back to the flat.
"Please tell me what to do ."
Passing her a cup of tea as we sat in the living room in the middle of the night, i was trying to sort things out.
"I honestly don't know what to do . It's really up to you. And . You have to tell him. That's the first step in sorting this mess out. You just can't carry on the way you were before, because it's clearly not going to work."
"He must hate me now. I've been such a little bitch. I can't help it, it's just the way i've been brought up. I can't change just like that." She sobbed.
I took her hand and gently squeezed it.
"I know my brother better than anyone else, and not once have i seen him cry over a girl. And then you came olong. You're different to other girls, but who says that's a bad thing. I don't think you have to change at all, because is completely in love with you the way you are."
She smiled at me, tears falling from her eyes quickly.
"Thank you so much. You're such a good friend, always here when i need you. I hope i don't need to change for you either. And i promise you, i'll do the right thing and tell tomorrow."
"That's good. Now go on, get to bed, you're sleeping for two right now." I laughed lightly.
"Pffft, what are you doing down here you loser ?"
I blinked my eyes and looked at my surroundings.
The sitting room.
"I must have fallen asleep after my chat with . Did you miss me ?"
"Yes. I hate sleeping in that bed without you."
I laughed as 's lips pouted.
"What did she have to say for herself then ?"
"It's a secret. I'm hoping you'll know by tonight though."
"I didn't think we were meant to have secrets." He sulked.
"It's not my secret to tell. I was thinking maybe i could make it up to you though. How does breakfast sound ?"
He licked his lips and followed me into the kitchen.
"Hello." said, yawning, and then plonking himself down at the table.
"Morning gorgeous." grinned at .
I laughed handing a plate of breakfast.
"I was first." whined.
I giggled.
"Yes, but you haven't just woken up following a huge argument with your girlfriend have you ?" I poked my tongue out at him.
"If i start an argument with you tonight will i wake up to a lovely cooked breakfast tomorrow morning ?" He asked, eyebrows raised, smile fixed to his face.
"No . You'll be out in the street looking for a new flat." I laughed.
As i passed him his food a few minutes later my attention turned to the doorway.
"Morning ." I said.
turned his head in her direction as she replied with a tired sounding morning to me.
She looked at him and managed a weak smile.
"Any chance me and you can have a chat ?" She said to him.
He put his knife and fork down and they both made their way into their bedroom.
"Can i know now ?" asked, fidgeting like a little kid, eager to know what everyone else did.
"Okk. I'm gonna be an auntie !" I smiled broadly, suddenly overwhelmed by the good news.
"No way. That's so cool. That would explain why she's been that way then too."
"I get the feeling a lot of that was just her anyway." I laughed, sitting on his lap.
Months later, and me and were sat in the living room.
, , and had all gone out to the pub as life was pretty hectic at the moment, and they rarely went out to drink these days.
Me and had grown much closer, and she was changing considerably.
She still had a few moments where her hormones kicked in and she acted like such a spoilt brat, but usually she was fine.
She'd matured so much in just a few months, this pregnancy clearly sorted her out.
She was no longer obsessed with sex, she kept out of mine and 's business and she didn't need help all the time anymore, she could think for herself and didn't rely on me sorting her problems out.
We would quite often have a girly chat on the sofa with pizza and coke, usually late at night when the baby was kicking and couldn't sleep and the boys and were snoring away contently.
"I really don't think i'll ever get bored of those kicks." I smiled, feeling her small bump and the tiny kick from bubba.
"I'm not allowed to get bored of them. He won't let me will he. They may be small kicks, but they do hurt quite a bit." She complained, rubbing her slightly swollen stomach.
"He ?" I asked.
"I really don't know, but i just feel terrible calling him an it. So it's he for now. It sounds much nicer."
"And when he comes out with a vagina, that'll be a nice surprise for you."
We both laughed at my remark.
"The boys should be back soo..."
"Oiiii Oiii." I winced as i heard the familiar shouts of my boy interrupting me.
"Hello." I smiled, as and stumbled through the door.
"How are you honeeeey ?" asked, walking over to , stroking her bump gently.
I giggled.
I adored my brother when he was drunk, he was hilarious.
"We're alright i think." smiled back at , as he pecked her lips lightly.
"And how are my two doing ?" asked, walking over to me, rubbing my stomach.
I giggled even more.
" you twat, me and you aren't pregnant. Just those two." I laughed pointing at and who had their arms around each other on the sofa.
"Well i'm definately not pregnant." winked at me.
"You're so dumb when your drunk." I smiled at him.
With that he walked off up the stairs.
I once more giggled and said goodnight to and , before following .
I walked into our bedroom, but found it to be empty.
Shrugging my shoulders i took my top off.
I looked down and grinned as i watched a familiar pair of hands place themselves around my waist, resting on my bare stomach.
My stomach flipped as nibbled on my ear and then traced soft kisses down my neck.
I loved how i still got butterflies with every look, wink and touch from him, despite being with him for a while now.
"Will we have a baby soon ?" He asked me, pushing me backwards onto our bed.
I smiled at him and shook my head slightly.
"No. I've got you, and you're much harder work than any baby." I laughed at him.
He turned away from me in bed, pretending he was upset with me.
I chuckled and started to stroke his back.
Within a few minutes he'd given up and turned back round to face me.
He smiled.
"I was thinking, maybe me and you should look for a place of our own ? Because i've heard that baby's take up a lot of space, and it will be crying all the time. I was just thinking this, i didn't want to actually tell you the idea, i was going to surprise you, but i've just thought that maybe you wouldn't want to move in with me coz that would be weird you know ? And i..."
I smiled as he rambled on.
" shut up. I take back what i said earlier. You're so clever when your drunk."
"So we'll find a place of our own ?"
"I'm up for it babe."
He smiled at me, and then pressed his lips against mine.
"Ok, so now i've agreed to us getting a flat together, can we forget about us having a baby ? Because i'm not really in the mood right now."
With his eyes closed i watched as he laughed lightly in reply, and then drifted off to sleep.
"Morning gorgeous." I smiled as grumbled, plonking himself down at the table the next morning.
"I'm not drinking again." He complained into the table.
I tutted and then smiled broadly.
"That's what you say every time."
"I hate that you're always right." He replied, still not lifting his head.
I pushed a hot plate and cup of tea in front of him.
He slowly lifted his head and picked up his knife and fork.
"Have i ever told you how much i love you ?" He managed a grin.
"I think so. So, when are we gonna look for a flat ?" I smiled at him.
He swallowed hard and looked at me confused.
"You know. It was your idea." I replied to his questioning face.
"I told you about that ?" He asked, looking surprised.
I laughed and nodded my head.
"And you actually thought it was a good idea ?"
I laughed and nodded again.
"I guess today then." He replied, before returning to his cooked breakfast.
I looked down, feeling squeeze my hand, stroking the ring he bought me.
"But I don't want you to go."
My heart broke as i saw the look on my brother's face.
"I don't want to either, it's just..."
I gulped, looking at 's face again.
I could see that he was close to tears.
I looked up at who smiled at me encouragingly.
"We just..."
I stopped, feeling my eyes well up.
"We thought it would make things easier for you here. Because you and will need space for the baby, and there's no way you could fit a baby and all the stuff it needs in with you two. And the baby will be crying, and you two will just need your own space. We love being roomies with you, but we'd have to move out sooner or later. It's not like we could all live in this one flat with 4 kids each or something." took over for me.
"But can't you jus..."
"I think it's a good idea. Thank you so much. So you've found a flat ? Tell me all about it." interrupted .
"It's really cute. It's got two room's coz for some reason that was cheaper than the one bedroom flat. And it's fully furbished, and it's just perfect really. I'm so excited." I smiled at .
"When are you planning on moving in there then ?" She probed.
"We were planning on doing it this weekend." smiled.
With that, got up and walked up the stairs.
began struggling to get up when i stopped her.
"No , don't worry. I'll go."
Clicking the door shut behind me i felt like such a bitch as i heard 's sobs.
I realised how strange this all was.
And i began to wonder if i could really cope.
I'd grown up with .
And i'd never been apart from him really for longer than a few hours.
We'd lived together with our mum and dad, and then i moved into his flat with him as soon as he moved there.
"I don't think i'll be able to do this without you ." He sobbed on the edge of his bed.
"If i can, then you can. And you make it sound as if you'll never see me. I'll see you every day at college still, and the flat's only a five minute drive from here. It's going to be so different without you, but it has to happen. Please don't be upset." Silent tears trickled down my cheeks.
He pulled me into a hug, and we stayed like that for at least ten minutes, neither of us wanting to let go, because we knew once we did, we'd be accepting that we'd have to move on from each other.
"I love how you got all the light stuff and i got stuck with the ridiculously heavy things." I giggled, carefully placing a heavy box of mine and 's belongings down in the new hallway.
"Pffft, woman. Look at me here. I've got the heaviest box ever." stated, mock panting and sweating as he carried in a large box labelled 'Pillows'.
I slapped him on the arm and smiled.
"We've done it . This is it." I beamed up at him.
He placed his arms around me, pushing my body up firmly against his, his hands resting on my bum.
He kissed my forehead as i rested my head on his chest contently.
After a few hours of madly rushing and tidying, our flat was finally coming together.
and I were snuggled up on the sofa watching whatever it was that had put on, when there was a knock at the door.
I smiled.
"Our first visitors."
"Bet you any amount of money it's your brother, the wife and the lads." grinned.
I walked out the room and came back in a few moments later.
turned around and winked at me as he noted that his bet had been correct.
"Well what did you expect ? It's not as if we socialise properly with other people." I stuck my tongue out at him, before signalling for him to move up on the sofa.
" . Let the pregnant woman sit down." I said, pulling him up off the sofa so could take his place.
Within seconds all the other places had been taken up on the sofa and armchairs.
"Sorry baby. takes up more than one space on the sofa so you'll have to sit on one of those really 'heavy' cushions of yours until she pops the sprog out." I giggled as sulked on the floor.
"It's lovely that you talk of your niece or nephew so highly ." smiled at me, rubbing 's ever expanding bump. Well, it was certainly more than a bump these days. She was hugeee !
"Oh shhh. You know i love bubby really and he or she is going to be so spoilt when they finally decide to make an appearance." I beamed back at him.
"Anyone fancy getting drunk tonight ?" asked.
I looked up at who was already staring at me knowingly.
"Can I ?" asked .
"And how will we get home then ?" replied.
"Oh shit." dropped his head.
"Well maybe, you could stay in the spare room ?" suggested.
He was such a knob sometimes, and I was sure he didn't mean to say that out loud as he knew that didn't want to get drunk tonight. I smiled as he realised he had done wrong and looked at me apologetically. Bless.
"Go on then." rolled her eyes as jumped up in search of the kitchen, which had ensured was full of alcohol and not food. Clever boy =/
" ?"
"What's up ?" He quietly asked in reply.
I sat up in bed and looked at the clock. 3.28am.
"Did you hear anything ?" I continued.
Then the sound of a tap running could be heard downstairs.
"It's probably just or , thirsty on the sofa or something. I'll go check." He soothed.
I decided to get up and follow him though.
We slowly crept down the stairs.
I grabbed 's hand quickly as the sound of something smashing on the kitchen floor could be heard.
switched the kitchen light on and we gasped as we saw gripping the kitchen side.
" ?" I questioned, walking over to her and putting a supportive arm around her.
"I think i've gone into labour." She exhaled quickly.
drove his car to the hospital, with me in the back supporting whenever she felt a contraction.
I was relieved when , and finally turned up in the waiting area, after having to make their own way to the hospital.
"Any baby yet ?" asked me.
"Nope. Apparently first labours can last days as well. We might have a long wait." I replied.
walked into the waiting room, looking a little flushed.
"Hows it going matee ?" soothed.
"I, um, well, she is, it's just, oh gosh." He mumbled.
"Sit down matee. You're a bundle of nerves and no good to like this. Now sit down for a few minutes and drink this." said, sitting down next to me and passing him a cup of coffee.
I smiled proudly. What a babe.
I squeezed 's free hand and smiled at him as his forehead continued to sweat like crazy.
"You're going to be such a natural sweetie." I added.
"Mr. ?" A nurse entered the room.
"Yes." He replied, looking up at her.
"You're about to become a dad." She smiled at him, gesturing for him to go back into s room.
I was struck with awe the second i layed eyes on her. She was adorable. All pink, and wrinkly. Rosy cheeked, and the tiniest tuft of hair, just like .
She had a good set of lungs on her as well, she was screaming louder than i ever could.
"Meet ." introduced her, trying desperately to calm her in his arms but failing.
I looked down at her and couldn't stop smiling.
"Here you go Auntie ." said quietly, carefully placing the small bundle in my readily open arms.
My breath caught in my chest, i was so happy.
I quietly shushed her, and rocked her gently from side to side.
Placing my finger around her's i broke into a grin as her whole tiny hand grabbed onto my finger tightly.
She was a strong one.
Within seconds she'd stopped crying.
"Geez . You're babysitting every week." laughed.
"Are you sure you don't mind ?"
"Oh go away. I'm tired of telling you that it's fine. I love spending time with my favourite niece." I exclaimed, poking my tongue out at little 's baby language as i carefully placed her in her pram.
" make sure she doesn't spend too much." moaned.
I had a fetish with buying all these little baby things for . They were so tiny and so cute, and she grew out of most of the clothes within a week but it was completely worth it.
"You think i have any power over stopping her shopping ? She's crazy ! I don't think she'd stop even if the shops were actually filled with shit."
I hit on the arm.
"Don't swear in front of . What would you do if her first word was 'Shit'. And then she'd learn to say 'Thank you Uncle for teaching me such foul words."
"Ahhh, but you see my dear, you just said the word too. Maybe she didn't quite hear it first time around, and you've just embedded it in her mind. Then it shall all be your fault."
I stared at his completely serious face and couldn't help laughing.
"You're a tit." I smiled back at him, and then pressed my hand against my mouth as i realised could catch on to that word now.
"See you later then ?" asked, helping carry the pram down the small set of stairs.
"Yeaaah. We won't be late. Just a few hours. Look after , she's completely shattered." I stared at , taking in all his physical features.
He looked completely drained.
He had bags under his eyes, his face was blotchy, and his hair looked unrecognisable when he hadn't put any gel products on it.
"And get some sleep ok ?" I finished, squeezing his hand before following .
"Awww babee, look at this. Isn't it just adorable ?" I squeeled, rushing over to the baby section in a shop.
"It wants to be at that price. It's ridiculous, she'll wear it once and then be too big for it. And there's hardly any material anyway, i could buy a hoody for myself for the same price." complained, checking the price tag of the small baby garnment i had held up against me.
I sulked, putting on my puppy dog eyes.
"Ok. We won't get it if that's how you feel." I finished with a fake sniff.
I saw the look in his eye, the kind of look that told me he wanted to actually throttle me right there and then because i was being such a pain in the arse, but he just couldn't resist my upset face.
I was really terrible like that. I knew exactly what cards to play and I knew how to get what i wanted.
He was just as bad though. He knew what worked on me too. We were both as bad as one another.
"Fuck it. It's your wages. Do what you want with it." He sighed.
"Love youuuuu." I smiled sweetly at him, pecking him lightly on the lips.
"But stop swearing."
A few minutes later we walked out of the shop.
I walked a few paces behind and suddenly stopped.
He looked so amazing just casually pushing around in her little pram.
He looked completely natural.
"Oiiii."
I shook my head and looked over at who had walked a small distance away from me.
He was laughing at me.
"Sorry to interrupt you from whatever it was exactly you were doing." He continued to laugh as i caught up to him.
"I was thinking about you actually."
"Well that's ok then. Feel free to go back to that thought. I bet i looked bloody good as well, didn't I ?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at me.
"Yes . Yes you did. You looked absolutely perfect." I smiled back at him.
"Alright. You're a bit cheesy today." He poked his tongue out at me.
"Oh shhh. You love it." I slapped his arm lightly.
"Ohhh . Please may i take a look in there ? I want to see if they have that new in."
He really was so adorable, asking permission to go into a shop. I didn't bother, i just walked into one and knew full well that he was expected to follow.
I nodded my head, taking control of the pram and sitting down on a bench outside the shop.
"Did they not have it then ?" I asked when he returned, noticing the glum look on his face.
"Oh, no. They do."
"So why do you look so depressed ?"
"It's way more expensive than i expected."
"Better start saving your penny's then."
He smiled lightly, but i could see he was absolutely gutted.
"Come on, let's get home. And then i'll cook something nice for you ok ?" I tried to cheer him up.
He smiled, more fuller this time, and began pushing the pram again.
I beamed down as squirmed whilst i tickled her. She had the tiniest smile playing on her face. I was completely besotted by her.
I'd put her in this tiny pink dress that i'd bought her earlier and nearly started crying she looked that gorgeous.
" , did you put in this earlier ?" asked, puzzled when we arrived.
"No. OH God NO. I told you not to. You spoil rotten." complained.
"If i didn't you'd complain even more." I poked my tongue out at him as began to cry.
"Thank you so much for looking after her today." managed, in between cradling .
"It was good fun. We love spending time with ." smiled.
shook his head.
"Pass her to quickly." He said.
I took hold of her, smiling down at her, swaying her carefully from side to side, wrapping my finger around her tiny hand. She grabbed on, as usual.
She stopped crying within a minute.
"Alright, can you please tell me your secret ?" asked, sitting down on an armchair, clearly still exhausted.
"I wasn't aware that i had one. I think she just knows that if she's good for me she'll get lots of presents in return." I giggled back, as stared up at me continuously.
I eventually managed to tear myself apart from her, and me and were now sat down eating a proper cooked meal together.
"I'm actually so lucky to have you. You're food is absolutely amazing." stated, in between eating.
"Oh, i see. So you're only lucky to have me because of my ability to cook well." I turned my bottom lip upside down and made those puppy dog eyes.
"Don't. You know how much of a sucker i am for those damn eyes." He complained, trying to avoide my gaze from opposite him.
I kept looking at him the same way for a few minutes, until he finished his food.
He then got up and walked over to me, pushing his lips against mine hard.
My hands made their way up to the back of his head and began to play with his hair.
We pulled away after a few minutes, my face left in a broad smile.
"I give up." I smiled, kissing him on the lips quickly before starting to gather all the cutlery up.
placed his hand on top of mine and shook his head.
"I'll do it." He smiled at me.
I watched as he began to clear everything away.
Biting my bottom lip, i took his hand and lead him into the bedroom.
"I think i should make things up to you, because i know you were very very upset earlier about that ..." I teased, pushing him backwards onto the bed.
Within the next few weeks me and both quit college.
It seemed different after obviously left, and decided he'd rather stay at home and look after rather than leave to do it all by herself.
and both decided to leave after we did.
I found myself a new full time job in the local Topshop though, and found one in HMV.
It was good, because we worked the same days, same hours, and sometimes had the same lunch breaks, so it wasn't as if we worked so much that we never got to see each other.
It was only a few weeks until Christmas, and i'd been saving up from my previous part time job and all my wages that i'd got so far at Topshop.
I was determined to make everyone happy this year.
I'd booked a day off work today, and i'd offered to take off and 's hands for the day, whilst i went and blew all my savings on christmas presents.
was growing so quickly.
She almost had a complete head of curls, and she'd started to gurgle and giggle.
"Shall we go and see Uncle ?" I asked , wheeling the pushchair into HMV.
Looking around, i heard start to giggle loudly.
was walking towards us.
"Hello gorgeous." He smiled.
"Hiii." I smiled back.
"Actually i was talking to ." He stuck his tongue out at me.
I pouted and then laughed.
What a joker :)
"What brings you two in here then ?" He asked, bending down holding onto 's tiny hands.
"We're christmas shopping. And we missed you very much so we thought we'd come and say hello."
"Ohhh geez, you're gonna go mental aren't you. You're bad enough when there's no occassion. You'll be absolutely skint by the end of today." He rolled his eyes.
"I'll buy you something nice." I turned my bottom lip upside down again.
"AHAAA. Okk, okk. I give up. Go and waste your life savings in the spirit of St. Nick."
I laughed. What a goon.
turned his attention back to , where he was still holding her hands.
"Now you make sure Auntie doesn't buy the whole shopping center for me." He laughed, kissing her on the top of her head.
My face began to ache from smiling so much.
I absolutely adored watching with though.
"I'll see you later mister." I kissed him on the cheek quickly.
"I'll miss you babee." He said, waving goodbye as me and left.
"WAAAY, GET IN. 's doing the cooking !"
"I am ?"
"Oh please ? You're so good and is just awfu..."
cleared her throat.
"Awfully good too. But please ." 's cheeks redend.
I giggled and looked at .
"I would enjoy it much more if you cooked it rather than me." smiled at me.
"That's lovely. My brother and his girlfriend invite me round on Christmas Day for a nice relaxing day, and i, as the guest, end up cooking for everyone." I looked serious and then laughed.
"It's fine." I finished.
I walked into the kitchen, and switched the oven on, looking through the fridge trying to find all the vegtables and the turkey.
Looking behind me as i heard footsteps i smiled, noticing .
"What's wrong ?" I asked concerned, noticing the look on his face.
"You're doing so much, i just feel so bad for you."
"Awww, babee. Honestly i don't mind. I should be used to it by now with these lot."
"I'm helping you." stated, putting on a pair of rubber gloves.
I raised my hand to cover my mouth as i giggled loudly.
"What's so funny ?" He asked, looking at me confused.
" , what kind of help exactly are you going to give me wearing those gloves ? You're cooking, not washing up." I continued to giggle.
He poked his tongue out at me.
"Well i don't know do I ? I'm helping you my way." He winked.
I smiled.
"Whatever you say."
"Ahhh, . That was deffo your best yet. Yummmmmmyyyy." grinned, rubbing his stomach, satisfied.
"Don't forget . He helped too. Clearly i'm not the only chef in this relationship. He'll be helping out more at home now i know he's not completely useless."
was too busy scoffing his face to retaliate.
I liked it that way, when he was quiet :)
"I really think it's present time now." chirped up, after we'd all finished eating.
He hadn't shut up about presents the whole time we'd been there, except for when he was talking about the food.
He was honestly worse than a little child.
After we all agreed, he ran over to and 's small christmas tree in the corner of the living room and grabbed a handful of presents.
and were skint, so they bought presents together.
For me, they bought a cook book, in which they'd gone through every page and circled their favourite recipe's for when they stayed round our's again.
For they bought a chef's hat and a silly apron with a print of a tight torso on front of it.
They insisted this was more for my pleasure though, and that they hoped it would encourage me to cook even more.
They are funny guys, i couldn't stop smiling, even though it was all a bit ridiculous, and i think was a bit gutted that he didn't get a real present that he would enjoy.
For and they bought a packet of condoms and told them to 'be more careful this time', whilst looking at .
I literally weed myself with laughter at this point.
It was harsh, but hilarious.
Me and , well technically me as i did all the shopping, bought a new pair of , as he seemed to be into them at the moment.
And we bought five sets of new , different colours and types and sizes, coz he has a bit of a fetish with them and is always moaning that he's bored of the plain ones he has now.
For we bought her a few books that she'd asked for, and a few romantic dvd's for when went out with the boys down the pub so she wouldn't be lonely, and also a braclet with her name engraved on it.
For , we filled one photo album with photo's of me and him from when we were younger all the way up to now. And then one album with pictures of him and in, which most of them were completely awful as they were drunk in them, i might add. Then one more album with photo's of and , , and , , and me too. And finally, tickets to his favourite musical that were extremley difficult and expensive to get hold of.
As for , she got about ten different outfits, and a ridiculous amount of toys. Only the best for my girl ! :)
and , together with our parents, put everything together, and bought a cute car for who had just passed his driving test.
It was more for , but i knew i'd force to teach me how to drive and then i'd be stealing that car off of him ;)
After hours of the usual christmas day television, and a lecture from for buying far too much, me and decided to make a move.
So for the first time, he drove us home.
" , can you help me with this ?" I called out to him from our bedroom.
"What is it ?" He asked, poking his head round the door.
"Can you help me lift this onto the bed ?" I asked, struggling with a large box.
eased it out of my grip and placed it gently on our bed.
"Could you open it maybe ? I don't want to break a nail." I quickly made up an excuse.
He knew me better than that, and looked at me confused, but did as he was asked.
"I don't know what you're up to , but i do know you're not fussed about your nails so i think...WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ?"
I giggled as the expression on his face changed dramatically.
"Do you like it ?" I asked him, a few seconds later.
"What. This is for me ?" He asked, astonished, stroking the brand new shiny that lay before him.
I nodded my head, smiling broadly.
I was thrilled i'd made him so happy.
"I really don't deserve you, and i really love you more than you could ever imagine." He grinned, forcing his lips onto mine.
"I think it may have slipped my mind, i'm not sure. Did i mention at all that you have to pack tomorrow ?" He asked, pulling away from the kiss.
Now it was my turn to look confused.
He pulled an envelope out of his jeans pocket and handed it to me.
I couldn't stand the secrecy, and kept a suspicious eye on whilst un-doing the envelope.
"Spain ?" I beamed at him.
He nodded his head excitedly.
"Did i do good ?" He asked.
I nodded my head a little too enthusiastically and threw my arms around him.
"HOLAAAAAA." Me and shouted loudly together as opened the door to us.
"Geez. Haven't you two ever heard of suntan lotion ?" He joked.
Me and both burnt easily, no matter how much we smothered ourselves in factor 50 haha.
"Oh shhh you. Now, where's my neice and where's my puppy ?" I pushed out of the way and walked into the living room.
"Ah, that's the thing. You kind of can't have back because 's become ever so slightly attached." stated, catching me up along with .
I picked up carefully and whirled her around in the air, smiling as she gurggled happily.
Clutching onto , i sat myself down, placing on my stomach.
"I feel a bit sick." I complained.
"Serves you right for being the favourite auntie now doesn't it ?" joked.
I smiled weakly, knowing that i was feeling more than just dizzy.
" are you ok ?" asked as she settled down on the sofa next to me.
"I just feel a bit rouggh. I think it's the flying that's done it." I shrugged it off, playing with 's tiny hands as i always did.
"Are you sure ? You look really really pale." She continued, concerned.
"If it's something more than a little travel sickness you better get it checked out." started to worry.
"I'm fine. Honestly." I assured them.
I noticed glancing at me unconvinced but turned my attention to instead.
"So Spain was good then yeaaah ?" tried to change the subject.
"It was amazing. Really hot, really cheap alcohol. We got you some cracking presen..." started but trailed off as i passed over to him and rushed out of the room.
"You're not alright. I knew it as soon as i saw you. You've got that fucked up pale glow about you. Take this. I know i'm right." I took the object from 's hand and looked at her knowingly.
"Stay with me." I stuttered quietly.
"Of course." She said, reaching out for my hand and gripping it.
A few minutes later my hands were shaking violently and i was a complete mess.
"I can't believe it. I really can't." I managed.
"It's scary isn't it. Now come on, you have no excuses like i did. Get it out in the open and tell that boy of your's." She squeezed my hand.
I stared at , suddenly stunned as i realised just how far she'd come from that irritating college girl earlier this year.
"Thank you for being there with me ." I said, hugging her tightly.
"You did the same for me." She smiled, hugging me back.
"Babee, what's wrong ?" asked, rushing over to me.
I looked back at who was nodding her head, urging me to reply.
Taking 's hand i led him back onto the sofa next to , who was looking as though he could cry he was so nervous.
"I'm not sick . I'm pregnant." I squeezed his hand hard, worried he'd try to losen his grip and walk away there and then.
"I'M GOING TO BE AN UNCLE ?!" jumped up screeching the second the words had left my mouth.
I flinched and then laughed, nodding my head in answer to his screeches.
"That's amazing . I'm so excited. Well done boy." reached over and slapped on the back to congratulate him.
I looked at who's hand was still locked with mine tightly.
He had a blank expression on his face as he stared foward into the nothingness.
" ?" I began to panic.
"We're going to have a mini me ? He'll be the spitting image of me, and we'll play football together and we could go to games together and cheer loudly when they win, and then when he's a bit older i'll teach him how to play , and then when he's good enough he can have that that you bought for me and..."
" BE QUIET." I laughed, poking him in his side.
"And who says we're having a boy anyway ?" I poked my tongue out at him.
"I do." He poked his out at me.
"Watch out, Fatty's about."
"Oh haha. Get Fucked ." I groggily retaliated as i trapsed into my sitting room, only to notice that , and had joined there.
"Ouch. I remember those hormones. How you coping ?"
looked over at with his eyebrows raised, which lead to nodding his head, understanding his body language.
"That good huh ?" He chuckled in reply.
"You want to be careful there ." I manged, placing a hand on my bump as i attempted to sit myself down on the sofa.
immediately rushed over to help me down, whilst immitated a lorry reversing, annoyingly repeating a high pitched 'BEEP BEEP BEEP.'
"You just wait till gets up the duff again. You won't find it so funny then."
looked over at , shocked.
She played along, winking at him seductively and licking her lips, which seemed to scare him a little more.
"Baby, we've got that final appointment with the midwife. We should start making a move. Is that ok ?"
My face softened as my mood raised.
I really did appreciate how much was trying, and the fact that he hadn't left me despite the fact that i was being a complete twat at times to him.
"Of course it is darling." I smiled sweetly back at him.
I found myself giggling loudly as me and were walking hand in hand through the city center. He had just suggested a name for the baby which was clearly made up, and his following suggestions were just rhyming versions of that name beginning with different letters.
" you are officially a twat."
"Hey 'Twat'. How about that for a name ?"
"What would it be ? A girl or a boy's name ?" I laughed, playing along with him.
"I think it would suite a girl more. So that's out of the question, seeing as we're having a boy."
" you don't know that so be quiet." I grinned up at him, swinging our interlocked hands happily backwards and fowards.
"THERE'S THE BASTARD !"
and i both turned around confused as we heard raised voices and loud footsteps.
The next thing I knew, some teenage boy ran into me, causing me to fall to the floor.
He didn't even look back at me, just carried on running. Seconds later two more boys ran past, clearly chasing after the boy.
I clutched my stomach as rushed to help me up.
"Shit. . Are you ok ?"
I shook my head violently as tears escaped beyond my control.
"It hurts ." I whimpered.
"Calm down !"
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down . That's my sister in there. What do you expect me to be like ?"
"And she's my girlfriend. The absolute love of my life. But if i was to act in the same way that you are, it wouldn't change anything. It won't change what's happened. So just sort yourself out."
took a seat up next to and spent a few minutes inhaling and exhaling large amounts of air slowly.
"I'm sorry man." managed a few minutes later.
smiled weakly in response.
The door opened and a nurse popped his head around the corner.
"Mr . You can go in now."
"I'm so glad you're here." I suddenly became overcome with emotion the second i saw enter my room.
"I'm so glad you're ok." He smiled worridly at me, taking my hand and gripping it tightly.
"Is the baby ok ?"
"He's fine. Think he was just a bit surprised by it, that's all." soothed.
"He's not the only one." I lightly joked.
He smiled at me.
" 's outside, flapping around and getting all worked up."
"Tit. I suppose he'll have to come in soon won't he ?"
" nodded his head.
"I'll go get him now."
sighed loudly as he sat back in his chair, only to be disturbed moments later by rushing out, in search of help.
"Don't say it."
looked down at me and grinned, before kissing me forehead.
"You know i was right all along though."
"Lucky guess." I whispered, in awe of my baby son.
"Seeing as Twat's off the cards, i was thinking maybe ?"
" that's perfect."
"Well i've had months to think about it, after all i always knew the right sex." He poked his tongue out.
"Alright show off. He's so tiny though."
"He's a month premature , what do you expect ?"
"Ok Mr. Know It All !" I laughed.
Smiling, he forced my attention away from and onto him, before kissing me on the lips.
"Woah, Woah, Woah. You two will have to get out of that habit. They'll be none of that now you've got a little one to look after !" chuckled as he entered the room, with clutching behind him.
"That silly." smiled up at me and kissing.
took off and walked her over to the incubator next to my bed.
Her eyes lit up as she saw in there sleeping.
She pointed a finger at him and looked at , a small smile fixed on her face.
"That's your baby cousin , ." said to , beaming proudly at his ne born son.
"He's gorgeous ." said, going over to to take a closer look.
followed suite.
I nodded my head in response, looking over at who could not take his eyes off .
"I want to buy him one of those bibs that says something about him having the best Uncle ever." stated.
"Oh i see. So you're allowed to spoil , but i'm not allowed to spoil ?"
grinned back at me.
About half an hour later they spilled out of my room, leaving me with my boys :)
"Do you realise how much he looks like you ?" I asked as we both found ourselves unable to take our eyes off of our son.
"Do you think ?" asked in reply, now clearly looking at to check.
"He is beautiful . And look at those eyes. They're identical to yours."
I watched as the smile grew on 's face.
"I've been thinking, now we've got our little family, shall we complete it ?"
I looked up at confused.
"What do you mean ?"
"I'm asking if you will marry me . Just rather badly it seems." looked a litle embarassed.
I let a huge grin spead across my face, not bothering to try and hide my happiness.
"Of course i will silly."
His face took on the form of a huge smile too.
"I love you." We both said together, at the same time.
We both stroked the ring that had given me at the beginning, and then focused our attention on , and the rest of our lives together.
:)
THE END.
