His Baby

~ Chapter 21 Part 2 ~

~ CHAPTER 21 Part 2~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we finish the movie, we all retreat off our separate ways to do other things before dinner. Mum usually throws big parties for our 18th birthday but since I am a mum I wanted to keep it small. 

The party scene isn't exactly something I want. Scarlett, Violet and I lounge around the room watching tv. I then decide to make us some lunch, and we eat and decide to bathe Violet. After she is bathed, I realise that if we don't start getting ready we are going to be late.

I get in the shower and leave Violet with Scarlett. Once I get out of the shower, I dry my hair and I put on some makeup. I then sift through my closet to find an outfit for dinner, I am looking for classy, and grown-up. 

I pull out a pair of light washed skinny blue ripped jeans, and a pair of black open toe stiletto's. This leaves me with a top. Scarlett who has just had a shower walks past me and pulls out a black halterneck bodysuit and thrusts it into my hands.

"Wear this," she says and I nod- she always had a perfect style. I watch her get ready and I dress Violet and pack her baby bag. We then walk downstairs and the rest of my family is ready.

Violet is wearing a little black dress, black bow, and some white socks with ruffles, and I managed to fit some baby ballet flats on here, she looks so cute! Her green eyes are especially shiny tonight

We all head to the restaurant and are seated at our reserved table 10 minutes early. My brothers all sit down and begin to comb through the menu, my parents look through the wine, and Scarlett has sat down and gotten Violet out of her pram. I swear all Scarlett wants to do is smother the baby

I see Jane and Julian pull into the car pack and walk through the door so I get out of my seat to greet them

"Happy birthday darling," Jane says waltzing towards me, grabbing me in a tight hug

"Thank you, Jane" I reply and she hands me a small box. Julian, Chloe, Chloes boyfriend Max Olivia and her girlfriend Maya are next and they hug me, and I lift up the box to examine it

"It is a pair of earrings" Chloe whispers to me and she takes a seat. I am just about to sit down when I see Jax and Ellie walk in. I look at Chloe and my mum who shrugs. I didn't think they were coming after the fight

Mum forced me to invite them when I booked dinner last month

I stand up and Jax awkwardly hugs me and sits down, leaving Ellie standing next to me. I look to Scarlett scared that she is going to hit me and resume our fight.

"Sheppie insisted that we get you a gift" Ellie mutters underneath her breathe

"Oh thank you," I say to her surprised, and she shoves a box in hand

"Well, are you going to open it?" she then snarks and I jump slightly, she is back

"Ah, yes," I say and I rip open the small, but beautifully wrapped box

I open the wrapping paper and discard it on the table beside me before I open the small box and I gasp. It is a bracelet, with a pendant on it. From what I can see it is my birthstone, and it has my initials. I smile sadly, I always told Jax I wanted a bracelet with my birthstone and initials on it. Scarlett has one, and I've wanted one since then.

"Sheppie picked it out, said you would like it" she replies boredly, interrupting my thoughts

"Thank you so much," I say and I gotta hug her. I wrap my arms around her and I feel her go stiff and as rigid as a board. I put on a fake smile and she stalks off to the other side of the table through the watchful eye of Jax. I smile, wave and mouth a thank you, which he sees. He nods back.
