The one I shouldn't fall for

Dreaded day

Yesterday Jack and I went for my twelve week scan to find out that I was actually 13 weeks which was further than expected but even better. Today we are telling my Mum, Garry and Jamie the news and we are in luck that they are all at my Mums and we can break the news when they're in a group instead of doing it desperately which would cause arguments due to some people getting told before others. It's been a good couple of weeks, Jack has moved in with me into the flat yet we aren't staying there this week as it's getting painted we are living with Jack's Dad which is good because I love Peter. I had met Peter before I ever met Jack but he always told me that his son would like me and he was correct at that, Peter has made me feel so at home and I love that he takes my side every time without a doubt when Jack and I start debating or arguing which is always a good thing.
"We've actually got something to tell you all" I state standing up in front of the television to block everyone's vision and have them focused on me,
"What is it?" My mum quizzes,
"Rachael you're blocking the telly" Jamie roars,
"Rach, are you ok?" Garry worries,
"Is everything alright with you guys?" Lauren quizzes,
"I'm fine. No I will not move. I'm pregnant" I state,
I watch as one by one they loose interest in the TV and turn to me,
"That got your attention" I laugh,
"Are you kidding?" Jamie asks, sounding shocked,
"Serious" jack laughs,
"I'm going to be an uncle?" He asks,
"Aye mate" Jack beams,
"Nice one! Congrats mate" Jamie beams at Jack before running to me and picking me up before patting my stomach,
"I'm so excited" he states,
"I'm going to be a gran?" My mum asks,
"Yeah, is that ok?" I ask,
"Rachael that's great news honey, you too Jack! I'm so happy for you both!" She beams before hugging Jack and coming to hug me,
"Congrats guys! This calls for some celebration!" Garry states while hugging Jack then hugging me and refusing to let me go,
"Jack if you Fu&k this up I will kill you" Jamie threatens,
"And no one will know" Garry laughs,
"I know but I'm not going to, not now" he smiles at me,
After everyone calms down from the sudden statement we decide to go out for dinner at the local pub to celebrate which Garry offers to pay as a congratulations present. How sweet. I can't believe how well my family have taken this, especially Jamie. As everyone runs off to get ready I catch up with him because I want to know his real opinion behind it,
"You don't understand how happy I am" he states before hugging me again,
"You were the only persons reaction I was bothered about" I laugh,
"When you first said it I needed a few minutes to process what you said but I looked at Jack and he was beaming at you. It's obvious to everyone the boy loves you, he would do anything for you and I know he would and I also know that he will be there for you and to me your happiness and making sure that you're safe is all that matters" he smiles,
"You have no idea how much this means to me" I state,
"No but I know how much he does" he replies before greeting me with another hug, I'm so happy how well all of this has went, it was very unexpected. I get changed into my blue ripped skinny jeans which are luckily still at my Mums and my blue grid check longline shirt with my navy blue vans. My hair has been left to dry naturally so it's wavy and down. Jack is wearing a navy blue stone island polo shirt, blue jeans with his red and white Adidas gazelles which tie his outfit together nicely. When we get to the pub Garry buys Jack and Jamie both a pint of lager as a congratulations while I have my orange juice, Lauren has her coke and my Mum has a glass of white wine.
"I can't believe you're actually pregnant Rachael" Lauren states,
"Neither can I" I reply,
"I can" Jack buts in,
"Why?" I laugh,
"I've always imagined you being the mother to my baby so it's like a dream come true" he smiles,
Lauren in my Mum both in unison start to tell Jack how cute he is and ask him what he first thought when we found out but all I want to do is order good because I'm so hungry. We order before my Mum starts to organise as usual,
"Well you, Lauren and I need to go shopping for baby stuff soon" Mum beams,
"I'm not letting you's buy stuff without my input" Jack states,
"Jack and I need to agree on what we are getting first" I state,
"Well Jack you can come too" Mum replies,
"Thanks" he laughs,
We eat dinner and I manage to eat three courses which is something I've not managed to do in years, pregnancy does have it's ups and downs which doesn't help the fact I've been craving the wafer from ice cream cones which the restaurant luckily has.
