That Way

37. Our First Baby.

It's now Sunday, Jack won the game yesterday. I didn't end up going because I felt like absolute death, he tried to call Michael, the manager, and tell him that he couldn't make it, but I made him. I refuse to let him put his career on the back burner for me.

We're going to a lady's house today so we can get our little husky. Since New Year's Eve, Jack's been looking at houses non stop and been look for a bigger car for me. I've told him many times that we don't have to rush into any of this, I'm only nine weeks, but he won't listen.

He's so excited about all of this, he's constantly telling me how we'd live in the houses he finds and me driving them to school in a bigger car. "You almost ready darlin?" Jack asks making me turn around and frown. "I can't do my jeans up." I say making him laugh before walking over and hugging me. "Just put a dress on." He smiles.

"It's January, and we're up north." I say making him laugh. "We're not up north." He laughs. "Were up north of Bournemouth." I say making him laugh before kissing me. "Put my hoodie on and don't do your jeans up." He says making me pout. "I don't wanna get fat." I say with tears in his eyes, making his face soften as he smiles and holds my cheek.

"Even if you do get fat, I'm still going to love you just as much, probably even more, because your having our little baby." He smiles as he rubs my stomach. "I want a little fat baby." I say making him laugh before kissing me. "Better keep eating then, now come on let's go." He smiles before grabbing my hands and pulling me out of the room and downstairs.

"You two off?" Julie asks with a smile. "Yeah." Jack smiles before kissing her cheek. "Don't tell us, surprise us when you get back." Julie smiles before hugging me. "We will." I smile as we pull away. "I'm so glad you too are finally together, it's like everything is finally falling into place." She says making us smile and Jack hugs me from behind and kisses my head.

"I know exactly what you mean." Jack smiles as he looks into my eyes. "Anyway, we gonna be late, love you mum." Jack smiles before I hugging her. "I love you babies." She smiles before we walk out to Jack's car. "I'm so excited." I clap once I've done my seatbelt.

"Me too darlin." Jack laughs as he grabs my hand and stares into my eyes. "I hope our baby has your eyes." He says making me pout. "No, I want them to have your eyes." I say making him smile before kissing me. "Well, I just want you and our baby to be happy and healthy." He says making me smile and rest my head on his shoulder as he drives out of the driveway. "Me too." I sigh before closing my eyes and letting the darkness take over,

"Doll." Jack whispers and he strokes my face. "Are we there yet?" I ask with my eyes closed. "Yeah baby, we're here." He says making me open one eye before smiling happily. "Let's go get our baby." I smile before opening the door and trying to get out, only to realise my seatbelt is still on, making Jack laugh hysterically.

"Shut up." I push his head away before undoing my seatbelt and getting out. "I love youuuuu." He smiles over the top of the car at me. "Mmmm, sure you do." I roll my eyes before shutting the door. "I'm sorry, that was mean. I love you so much." I say as tears fill my eyes and I open my arms for him.

"Oh baby." He pouts before walking over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist and bending down and kissing my neck. "I'm sorry." I cry making him laugh and stroke my hair as he keeps a tight hold on me. "You don't need to be sorry baby, your always sarcastic." He says making me pull away and pout. "I'm always so mean to you, why do you love me?" I ask making him smile and wipe my tears away.

"Because you're you. Because you don't look at me or treat me any differently because I'm a footballer. Because you are always yourself, no matter who's around, because you've loved me more then I ever expected anyone to. Because you're the most perfect girl I've ever know. Because you make me want to be then best version of myself. Because you are the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with and have a family with." He says making my eyes fill up yet again.

"Oh, I don't deserve you." I pout before kissing him. "Shut up, stop saying all that." He smiles as we pull away. "I really do love you, more then anything or anyone." I say making him smile and kiss me. "Mmmm, sure you do." He rolls his eyes sarcastically, making me laugh and push him away. "Now let's go get our baby." He smiles as he throws his arm over my shoulder and we walk up to the house, I lean up and kiss his cheek before ringing the doorbell.

"You're so pretty." I smile up at him, making him turn and show a cheesy grin. "Shut up." He laughs before the door opens to show a smiley older lady. "Hello my dears." She smiles warmly. "You must be Jack and Ivy, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Annie." She smiles as she shakes our hands. "The pleasure is all ours." Jack says making me smile at him.

"Oh stop, would you both like to come in?" She smiles as she steps aside. "Thank you." I smile as I walk in with Jack following me. "So the puppy's are just in here, mum is in her bed. Harper, come here." She smiles making the mum run over to us. "Hi, oh your so pretty." I smile as I bend down and stroke her.

"She likes you." Annie smiles down at me. "She's lovely." I smile back. "Are your wanting a particular gender?" She asks as I stand up. "No, she just wants a baby." Jack says making her laugh. "Let's see the puppies then." She smiles as she opens the gate and eight little puppies come running over to us.

"Oh my god! Hiya." I smile as I sit on the floor, making all the puppies jump and run around me. "Oh, they like you." Annie smiles, I turn and smile up at Jack to see him already smiling down at me. "Come here." I smile, he shake his head as his smile never leaves his face before getting down onto his knees, making the dogs all run to him.

"I've never seen them this happy." Annie chuckles. "I can't decide." I pout at Jack. "I know, but I can. Look at her." He lifts a beautiful blue eyed puppy, looking at me with her tongue out. "That's her, she's the one. Come to mummy." I say in a baby voice as I take her from Jack.

"She the one?" Annie smiles at us. "She's the one." We say at the same time. "So, what's her name?" She asks making us smile at each other. "Star." We say at the same time.
