your mum, Erin Doherty, gets a call from the new show she will be starring in along side your favourite actresses of all time, Olivia Colman and Helena Boham Carter. Little does she know... her little princess is falling for her work colleague!
today was the first day of october. my favourite month of the year. i woke up to the most peaceful and blissful sounds that have been known to my ears for quite some time, hellies soft snores.
after discussing with her to start our new family, we have been going to a lot of hospital appointments. thats right...
WE ARE EXPECTING. (had to jump it as well have quite a lot to get through. DONT HATE!)
as i was the one carrying the baby, ive tried to help helena around the home and at least try to clean. she barely lets me get up to get a glass of water.
"helena darling please, i just want to help you." i said.
"no y/n! you have someone growing inside of you and im not allowing you to stress yourself out this much. please baby, just rest."
i was growing more and more impatient. in my defence, its the hormones.
"OH FOR CHRISTS SAKE HELENA STOP! I AM ABLE TO DO A BIT OF CLEANING!" i snapped. jesus, i didnt think it would come out like that. "i know your only wanting what is best for me and the baby, but ive been resting all day helena and now im getting bored. just please let me help you."
she finally comes to terms with me after my little breakdown. i mean dont get me wrong, i feel bad for snapping at her. but like i said, its the hormones.
after the cleaning was complete, we went to the store to get more things for the baby. just simple things you know. like dummies, a new teddy bear. and of course, POETRY BOOKS. as halloween is our favourite holiday of the year, we based the nursery around that and honestly, it looks more than fantastic.

(IS THIS NOT THE MOST CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD?! IM TAKING NOTES!)
"darling, i think this is enough baby shopping. the little one hasnt even popped out yet and they are getting spoilt already." hellie suggested. shes got a point really, i cant argue with that.
"BUT LOOK AT THE LITTLE OUTFITS HELLS BELLS!!!!!! LIKE OMGGGGGGG HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT?!?!?!?!" i was that excited, i was balling my eyes out. i really can not wait to have this baby. i really can not wait to start a family with the woman i love.
when we arrive back home, i run a bath and put on my favourite halloween sequel movies, yes. the halloween movies (cant go wrong with a bit of jamie lee curtis am i wrong?). i get my fresh pjs and towel.
as i walked back to the bathroom, i hear a lot of commotion coming from downstairs. i shout down to helena. but she didnt answer. i looked around and picked up the nearest object next to me. a plant pot. i slowly walk down the stairs and quietly call out hellies name.
"BOO!"
i drop the plant pot and jump mid air. i see collie wearing a scary mask as she pops out from behind the living room door.
"OLIVIA! THAT IS NOT FUNNY I COULD HAVE REALLY HURT YOU!"
"oh y/n dont be silly. hurt me with what? a plant pot?" she says as she is still catching her breathe due to all the laughing.
"oh ha ha very funny. wheres helena?"
"i dont know? but havent you got a bath running? better go turn it off."
oh god, i completely forgot!
i ran up the stairs and bust threw the bathroom door. i get the the tap and quickly turn it off. as i reached for my phone to call helena, it was gone. i remember leaving it there, some how it grew legs and ran away? i dont think so. i might be pregnant, but i aint stupid.
"helena this isnt funny now. come out and give me my phone." i shout across the house. collie comes up and looks at me struggle to find helena.
"are you sure shes home?" she says.
"of course im sure. we came home together after doing more shopping for the baby, i ran the bath, got everything i needed, heard noises that turned out to be you an-" erm, what was that?
i hear something coming from the baby's nursery, but why would helena be in there? i make my way across the hall and open up the door. i see helena holding the teddy bear her mum had got for the baby and sat in the rocking chair with my phone right by her.
"oh hello darling." she says as though i wasnt calling her name 30 times before having a heart attack.
"im going to ask you once, the pair of you. and if you dare lie to me i will chase you both around this house so fast, my feet will be swollen and my waters will break. did you both set up a plan to scare me?"
they both look at each other and start to laugh.
"fine, i see how it is." i said, sternly.
"helena, you can sleep in the guest room for now on and olivia, you will be stripped from your godmother title and duties. lets see whos laughing now." i was of course joking. but the mood all changed. they were having none of it.
"REALLY Y/N?!" said collie.
"wow, y/n. thats a little too far." said hellie.
i huffed and walked out the room, not even acknowledging what i said to them. i realised though that wasnt right. so i walked back in, grabbed my phone, and walked back out again. this time laughing.
a few moments later, i was relaxing in the bath just watching my movies when i hear a knock on the door. i tell her to come in as i know it will only be helena.
"darling im sorry about before. i just thought because youve been stressed lately and this is your favourite time of year to do something fun. i really am sorry." she said with tears in her eyes. oh her little face i just want to give her a big big squeeze.
i laugh at her and she gives me a confused look.
"did you think i was being serious? hellie i could never do that to you and collie. your the only family i have left. the only family i need, well, until we have a new addition. i could never turn my back on any of you. including collie." i say. i truly deep down feel heartbroken that she thought i was being serious about this. ever since that day when i fell out with my mum, collie and hellie are the only people i have in my life right now. i mean, i have marnie too but we havent spoken in years, i doubt she even knows im pregnant. damn, i think i should tell her.
"darling im not going anywhere and neither are you. im not missing out on a night of your cuddles. absolutely not!"
"you promise?" she said with her big brown eyes looking into mine.
"i promise baby. no matter what." i place my hands on her little, chubby cheeks and give her a kiss.
i really hope our child doesnt have big eyes and little chubby cheeks like hers, it would be highly difficult to say no to another hellie. i would give in straight away!
