5sos Pregnancy Series

Week 28

Ashton (her POV)

I got up, got ready, then drove off. It was my last day at the hospital working as a nurse. I've only been working part time since the second trimester. It was bitter sweet. I love my job. I love being at the hospital, watching all the people, meeting all the people, and being front row for the drama. But the work can be really exhausting. I'm ready for a break. Ash and I decided that once the baby is in preschool, Ill decide if I need/want to go back or not. My boss said there will be room for me when I or If I come back. I pulled in and took the elevator to my floor. Only a couple of people we walking around which was strange because usually its always swarming with people. I put my bag down on my desk and noticed a pink sticky note that said "come to the cafeteria" with a smiley face. I furrowed my eye brows, what could it possibly be? Whats the worst that can happen, I thought as I pushed the button in the elevator to the cafeteria. I stepped out and went around the corner. "Surprise!" My co-workers, some family, and friends shouted. It was my baby shower/farewell party. I started to cry a little as I saw all of my favorite faces here for me. "Aw this is amazing guys, thank you." I managed to say. There were pink balloons everywhere-im guessing from the gift shop, different sized teddy bears, and loads of presents. The theme was hurt teddy bear- teddy bears with eye patches, wrapped up legs and arms- to go with the hospital setting. "No Mandy thank you for your eight years of work here. You desere it and we can't wait to meet your baby! Just like I said, your always welcomed back." My boss said putting her arms around me. She wasn't one of those bitchy bosses which I was grateful for. "Thank you, I'll defiantly keep that in mind." I said and my hospital baby shower begun.

Calum (his POV)

Tonight were the ARIA Awards and we were nominated for a few awards. I was getting ready when I noticed Rachel wasn't. She said she was going to come since it might be while till she can go with me again to an award show. I found her in the kitchen eating a snack at the table. "Rachel why aren't you getting ready? I thought you agreed the going as my date?" I sat down next to her. "I change my mind." "Why? Aren't you excited to go with me? We have so much fun together. Is it the dress? Remember we spent a whole day trying to pick out the most comfortable dress?" I said remembering that agonizing day. Her trying on dress after dress and the more dresses that didn't fit or she didn't like the more tears. "The dress is ok but it doesn't hide that I'm pregnant, huge, and ugly. Nothing does. I don't feel like waddling down the red carpet while people take pictures of me. You wouldn't understand." She started weeping. "Rachel why can't you see that your beautiful, even pregnant? I wouldn't blame the camera guys if they took a few pictures. Plus our baby is growing in there so its natural. Its understandable, that's what happens. What do you think is going to happen? People are going to make fun of you like in high school? I don't think so. Come on, let me show off how beautiful you are. You're the only trophy I need." I kissed her forehead. I knew she would feel insecure like this so I had some time to prepare. "Thanks Calum. I'll get ready." She whispered getting up to go change. I sat back relived that was all it took to make her feel better about herself.

Luke (her POV)

"No Micheal, I don't think that goes there!" Ashton yelled at Michael. Luke had the boys over to help him put together the furniture for the nursey since the walls were already painted an ocean blue. Since Luke wasn't that handy, he thought inviting them over was a good idea but it really wasn't. "How do you know? I'm sorry I can't read Chinese. If someone didn't lose the english instructions we wouldn't have this problem." He said turning to Luke. Luke threw his hands up in defence. "I swear I didn't lose them! They weren't in the packaging." Michael chuckled in disbelief, "sure." Then they started fighting. I have to admit even though I didn't love all the noise it was kinda entertaining. Charlotte and I were laughing in the next room over. "I feel like we should help them." I giggled. "Nah, they'll figure it out. They're men." So we just minded our own businesses. "No this is all wrong! It looks crooked." Calum whined. "Come on!" Luke shouted. About two an a half hours later, "Alright the crib is finally done! On to the book shelf." Luke said and they all groaned. "Dude, you really should've hired someone."
Michael (his POV)

"So do they have different godparents or the same?" Char and I were out having a date night trying to decide godparents. "Hmmm...I don't know. I would be easier to have the same godparents but I also think having two sets of godparents shows our kids that we love and care about each of them, and don't view them as 'set'. You know?" She said. How did I end up with someone so smart? "Yeah I know. This is so hard. Just think this is one of the many hard desicions we'll have to make later down the road." I said thinking about how it's only going to get harder and harder from here. "I know" she whispered looking down at her plate. "What if we did your sister for both and two of my band mates? So when the third one comes along none of them are left out. Or they could have the same. I don't know, those are just ideas." I said. "Wait third? We haven't even had the ones inside me." She giggled. "Well I thought you would might want to try for a girl in like five years or so. Yes, I've been thinking ahead." "We'll see how the first two are but yes you're right about that. Back to the godparents thing, Claire will defiantly be godmother and I think we should give them different godfathers. That way its half an half. Lets do Calum and Ashton. Calum's met Claire once or twice and Ashton even went out with her for a week so you can say they know each other. Then Luke and Sam will be the third ones godparents if it ever happens." She said smirking at the last part and I agreed, "Yes I like that. Now who do we decide who gets who? Calum gets Jackson and Ashton gets Dylan?" Next hard decision. She nodded. "Yes that works because I don't know how to decide that one. How are we going to decide who's who? Like who ever is born first is Dylan?" She asked and I didn't even want to get into that one. "That seems like another conversion for a different day."
