Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 35

*Alicia POV*

Lucy was bringing Ashleigh home today. They had been in the hospital for the past 3 days and had been given the all clear to come home. Lucy had been a little worried that Ashleigh had come a week early but the doctors had assured her that this was common. Only 4% of babies actually arrive on their due date, babies usually come as early as two weeks before or later. I was driving my car out of the driveway of my house with Michael in the passenger seat and Ashton in the back with a baby carrier ready to carry Ashleigh from the hospital. I turned the radio on to listen to my favourite Pierce The Veil album and I was absentmindedly humming along to the words of each song as I drove down the highway. I felt Michael's hand on my thigh and I turned my head to the side slightly to flash him a smile which he gladly returned.

"Hey guys, I never actually had chance to congratulate you properly on you're engagement. I'm really happy for you guys" Ashton beamed from the back seat. I smiled to myself and Michael entwined his fingers with my free hand that wasn't on the steering wheel. The band on the ring finger of my left hand felt heavy now the engagement had been mentioned. I had already began looking into wedding details but this was something I wanted to do with Lucy, we had always said we would be at eachothers big moments and my wedding day was without a doubt probably the biggest day of my life. I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital and found somewhere close to the enterance so we wouldn't have to walk very far across the car park with the baby carrier. I wasn't going to risk anything with my god daughter. I was going to be there for this baby, Lucy and Ashton as much as I could, just like any other god mother or father would do. It was wierd calling myself Ashleigh's god mother, but it's like being an auntie if I thought about it. We all exited the car and walked through the reception, Ashton ignoring all attempts the receptionist made to speak with him. I swear she got more sluttier everytime we came here. More buttons seemed to be undone on her shirt and her tits popped out even more. I bet without her damn pushup bra, people mistake them for a nutsack. I laughed at myself whilst we walked down the hall towards the room Ashleigh and Lucy were occupied in. Michael shot me a look that was full of questioning and I explained to him and Ashton why I was laughing. The three of us walked into the hospital room in stitches and Lucy automatically shushed us.

"I just got her to sleep!" She whisper shouted and I clamped my hand over my mouth to stifle the laughter that was still shaking through me, Michael mimicking my actions. Ashton but his lip and cleared his throat to stop himseld from bursting out in guffaws of laughter.

"What are you all laughing at anyway?" She asked when we all calmed down.

"Just how slutty the receptionist is and the fact that if she wasn't wearing a bra, someone might mistake her boobs for a ballsack" I lost my shit and started laughing again, pulling my leather sleeve jacket over my mouth to keep it quiet. Lucy was sat on the bed in leggings, vans and one of Ashton's huge shirts. Her stomach was still ballooning but the swelling would subside soon. Ashleigh was dressed in an adorable pink babygrown with little white pokadots on it. Ashton set the carrier down and took his daughter from Lucy who got up to grab her bags. Ashton automatically smiled down at the beautiful bundle in his arms. Ashleigh was a spitting image of him and I already knew she was going to be a daddy's girl. Lucy placed all of her bags on the bed and let out a huge gasp.

"WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD TIME TO GET THE NURSERY READY!" I pulled my lips into a straight line trying to keep a smirk off my face. Over the past three days whilst Ashton was inbetween home and the hospital, me, Michael, Calum and Luke had prepared the nursery for when they brough Ashleigh home. Calum and Luke were there right now adding the final touches before we arrived. Ashton decided to play along with the little sharade.

"Shit!" He cussed and automatically received a slap from Lucy.

"Don't swear in front of the baby, you dick wipe!" She pulled her hand to cover her mouth as the words slipped out. Ashton giggled and looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.
