That Way

35. Is This Real?

I went back inside and said goodbye to everyone before George offered to drop some of us of and Serenity took the rest home. As soon as I got home, I walk straight into the living room to see everyone watching the grinch. "Yo." I smile making them turn and smile at me. "Hi baby, did you have a nice time?" Mum asks as she kisses my cheek.

"Better then I planned." I smile as I cuddle up to her. "They're the best nights." She says making me smile and nod. "Oh, is it cool I've Kacie stays tonight, she's fallen out with her mum?" I ask making her smile and nod. "Of course, is she okay?" She asks making me nod. "Yeah, she just wants some comfort." I say making her nod.

"Why's she driving all the way down here? What about the other girls or Harvey?" She asks making me sigh. "She's my best friend, she's alway told me that she feels different with me, I actually think we're soulmates." I say making everyone laugh. "Well aunt Cass is my platonic soulmate." Mum says making me smile. "Is she coming down tomorrow?" I ask making her nod.

"Why don't you girls go up, it's almost midnight. You can't see Father Christmas." Mum says making Hazel and I laugh. "I'm gonna make a cuppa then I'll go up." I smile before kissing both my parents cheeks then hugging Hazel before walking into the kitchen.

After showering and getting in comfy clothes, I chilled in bed until Kacie arrived. I ran downstairs and straight into her arms. "Oh my god! I can't believe it!" She squeals as she hugs me tight. "I know, me neither. Thank you so much for driving all the way down here." I pout as we pull away. "Stop." She slaps my shoulder lightly.

"I've gotta be here for my soul sister, when she finds out she's fucking pregnant!" She whispers the last part, making me smile wider then ever before. "I've got a little baby in my tummy." I smile as I place my hands on my little bump. "My little baby." Kacie smiles as she holds my stomach. "I can't believe this, I'm so fucking excited." She says making me smile. "I know. But come on in, it's freezing out here." I say making her nod and grab her bag from her car.

We walk in and go straight to my room. "This is beautiful, girl you rich rich." She says making me laugh and hug her. "Shut up." I laugh before getting into bed, Kacie climbs in after me and grabs her MacBook "Right, let's plan it." She smiles before opening a word document.

Last night, Kacie and I planned exactly how to tell Jack, we woke up and had a full English before opening presents, all my family came round at lunch time, Kacie loves them and they all love her. We said goodbye before getting in kacies car and driving back up to Birmingham.

"Have you told Julie your coming?" Kacie asks making me smile. "Yeah, all of the family is at there's, she told me that he's been all moody and moping around." I say making her laugh. "Sounds like him. Anytime your not at collage, he's mugging everyone off, won't let anyone chat to him except the boys and us." She says making me laugh. "My poor baby." I say making us laugh.

"Now, I've gotta ask..." she says making me smile. "Fire away." I smile before opening a bag of prawn cocktail crisps. "How is this gonna work? Yous aren't together?" She asks making me smile. "Promise not to tell anyone?" I ask making her raise a brow and smile at me. "We've been together just over six weeks." I say making her scream excitedly and slap her steering wheel.

"Oh my god! This just keeps getting better and better!" She says making me laugh. "I've never been this happy before Kace." I say making her smile and grab my hand. "Everything is finally falling into place." She says making me smile and nod. "Everything is falling into place." I repeat with a smile on my face.

After singing our hearts out and laughing our heads off, we finally arrive at Jack's house. "Right, you got everything?" She asks as she puts the handbrake on. "Yep, I'm so nervous." I say as my hands shake, making her smile and grab my hands. "That boy wants nothing more then to be with you forever and have a baby with you. He told me a few weeks ago that your the only person he'd want to have baby with, even though you can't have them." She says making me smile and take a deep breath.

"Okay, I'm ready." I smile, Kacie grabs my face and kisses my cheek before hugging me. "I'm only round the corner, call me, text me, whatever." She says making me smile and kiss her cheek. "Thank you Kacie, for everything. Truly, your the best best friend I could ever ask for." I say making her smile. "Soul sisters." She smiles. "Soul sisters." I smile before opening the door and grabbing my bag. "I love you." Kacie smiles. "I love you more babe." I smile before shutting the door and walking around the side of the house, into the garden.

I open the gate before opening the door by the kitchen and seeing Julie and auntie Sandy. "Ivy!" Julie whispers while smiling and opening her arms. "Hiya." I smile as I hug her tight. "Look at you!" Sandy smile before hugging me. "It's good to see you." I smile. "You too sweetheart." She smiles as we pull away.

"Where's Jack?" I ask making Julie smile. "In the living room, on his phone and moody." Julie says making me smile and shake my head. "I'm gonna surprise him." I say making them smile. "Help us bring the drinks in, he won't be looking." Sandy says making me smile and grabs the mugs.

"Here you go mammy." Julie smiles as she hands a cup of tea to nana Hope. "Thank you my dear." She smiles. "Here you go dickhead." I stand in front of Jack, making his head fly up and show a massive smile. "Baby." He smiles as he stands up and lifts me into his arms. "What are you doing here?" He smiles as he spins me around. "I forgot one of your presents." I say making him smile. "Come on." He grabs my hand and runs up to his room.

"Come here." He smirks as soon as we get into his room and pulls me onto his bed, cuddling me. "I missed you." He pouts as he rubs my cheek. "It's been three days." I laugh, making him roll his eyes. "Exactly." He groans before kissing all over my neck as I laugh.

"Hold on, I gotta give you this." I smile as I stand up and grab the small box from my bag. "You didn't need to get me anymore darlin." He says making me smile. "I didn't plan to, it happened last night." I smile as I sit opposite him on the bed.

"How'd you mean?" He asks making me smile. "I was out last night with all my old friends, we were drinking at the pub and Maggie told me I'd gained weight, anyways, we went to the shop, and well..." I hand him the box. He looks at me confused before opening it to see a plain black box, he opens it and his eyes widen before taking the pregnancy test out.

"It's positive? It's positive!" He smiles before leaning over and hugging me, making us fall and lay on the bed. "Your pregnant. We're gonna have a baby!" She smiles as he strokes my face as my eyes fill up with tears. "Yeah." I nod as the tears fall. "I love you so fucking much Ivy, and you grape." He smiles as he holds my stomach, making me laugh. "Grape?" I ask making him smile. "That's the size of the baby, no?" He asks making me laugh. "I don't know, and I don't care. We're having a baby though." I say making him smile and kiss me passionately. "We're have a baby." He smiles as he holds my face and rests our foreheads together.
