Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 25

*Lucy POV*

"Ashton! Hurry up! We're going to be late!" I shouted. Today was the day of the scan. We would see our baby for the first time. Or maybe not if Ashton didn't hurry up! I glanced at the clock for the 100th time that morning. I was nervous to see the baby and I didn't know why. My hands were placed over my slightly swollen stomach, I was showing now. Playing with the edges of Ashton's sweater I'd stolen, I waited at the foot of the stairs for my boyfriend to descend them. 5 minutes later he ran down them, messing with a bandana he had tied on his head to keep his curls out his eyes.

"Sorry baby, I couldn't find my lucky bandana, I wanted to wear it today. I found it under the bed." He smiled at me and I melted. I smiled back, glancing at his favourite black bandana. Reaching between us, I entwined our fingers and dragged him out to the car, him giggling at me eagerness. He unlocked the car and I quickly hopped in. I drummed my fingers against my lap as he pulled out of the driveway. I'd never been this nervous before in my entire life. I wasn't even this nervous when I went bungee jumping with Alicia last summer whilst Ashton was at the studio. Closing my eyes, I placed my head back against the seat and tried taking deep breaths to calm myself down. My phone beeped, snapping me out of my pre relaxation state. It was a text in our group chat with the boys and Alicia, there was a message from each of them there.

Good Luck bae and Ash, Ily! I'll see you when you get back :)

I felt myself tearing up whilst I read all the messages from them and I wasn't aware of any tears escaping my eyes and trinkling down my face, that only became apparent when Ashton reached over and wiped them away.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Smiling, i showed him the messages.

"There so supportive. I can't believe I was ever scared to tell them." I sniffed and locked my phone, placing it in the cupholders inbetween the two of us.

"I told you they would be. You just need to stop worrying all the time, I love you" We had arrived at the hospital now.

"I love you too baby" I looked down at my stomach, smiling when Ashton placed his hand there.

"Let's go meet our baby" Ashton whispered, placing a chaste kiss to my lips and getting out the car. The last time I walked into the hospital, Ashton had been stabbed and I felt a slight forboding walking through the double doors. But this time, I shook it off, there was no need for me to feel like that this time. We were here for a whole different reason. We were here to meet our baby, this beautiful life that was growing in me and would be brought into this world. This little baby was the beginning of something great and today is where it would all start. We walked hand in hand toward the reception where the same receptionist who had tried to hit on him the day he was discharged was sat.

"Oh, Mr Irwin, lovely to see you back" she smiled at him seductively, eyeing him up and I saw him rolling his eyes. She then turned to me and smiled but it was clearly more forced. I forced back a giggled and squeezed Ashton's hand, placing my free one on my stomach.

"Baby, I'm too warm." I told him.

"Take my sweater off then" He kissed my cheek and let my hand go so I could remove the item of clothing. I gave it to him and pulled a plaid shirt out of my bag. The receptionist was looking at my stomach. I was wearing a plain white tanktop that clearly showed my growing bump. It was the reason I had taken off my... Ashton's sweater. She cleare her throat and began to type on the computer.
