A Saviour

Chapter Fifty Seven

"Johnny.. calm down." Kate said with a knowing smirk. He was pacing around their bedroom as she pulled on her boots. She was wearing a cute jumper dress and tights and the knee high boots wrapped the look nicely. "I can't help it..." "I know." Kate giggled. "You were bad enough getting the kids off to school." "Sorry.. I should be calmer I know. You need me to keep it together." "What I need is for my husband to stop pacing, the carpet will have holes in it." Kate said standing and patting her hair down. "Ready?" She asked. "Absolutely." Johnny said with a smile taking his wife's hand. "I can't wait to see our baby." She said emotionally. "Me neither doll." Johnny added as they descended the stairs heading to the sonogram appointment.

"And you're taking the pre natal medication Mrs Depp?" The midwife asked as Kate laid on the bed with Johnny sat beside her. "Yes I started it last week straight after my appointment with you." "Good, and has the nausea subsided?" "It's still there but it's not as bad."' "Ok.. I'd recommend coming back in four weeks, we can get another look at baby and take some blood work, other than that keep a good diet, rest easy, and stay in touch if you need anything." Kate nodded with a smile as the midwife fiddled with the machines "I'll get these sonograms printed for you, and leave you with this short recording for a few moments." She left the room as Johnny leaned in and kissed Kate. "That's our little baby." He said tearfully and his wife gushed. "Thank you Johnny." "For what?" "For being here, with me." "Never thank me for being by your side love. This the best gift of all." Kate smiled with tears in her eyes before kissing her husband passionately.

Kate made a special effort to collect all three children and bring them home to Sweetzer before cooking their favourite dinner. It was carnage to say the least but she loved it. Being an only child her home was always quiet, whereas at Sweetzer somebody was always coming and going. "Belle!!!" She heard Jack yell. "Come here!!!!" Kate stopped chopping vegetables and walked out the kitchen to find Belle attempting to climb the stairs by herself whilst Jack stood at the bottom. "Young lady! You know you're not meant to climb the stairs by yourself!!" Kate said with her hands on her hips. "Dada!!!" She replied with a chuckle. "She's been asking for Dad whilst I was doing my homework." Jack replied, "Sorry sweetie, I'll keep an eye on her, you crack on." Kate said ruffling his hair. "It's no bother I just didn't want her to hurt herself." Jack said wandering back to the stairs to his bedroom. Kate followed scooping Belle onto her hip and heading back down towards Johnny's office. She gently tapped on the door and he yelled for her to enter. She did so and Johnny smiled. "How you doing babe?" He asked and she returned his smile. "I'm ok... this one is on the hunt for her Dada." As soon as Belle saw Johnny she was wriggling to get out of Kate's arms so he happily took her. "Well munchkin I'm here, what can I do for you?" He said ruffling her curls as he sat her down on his knee. "Me, Dada draw!!!" She said holding up the pen in her chubby fist. She began to try and draw on the script on his desk to which he abruptly moved it and pulled out a notebook. "We can draw darling.. why don't we do a nice picture for Mumma whilst she finishes dinner?" He said in a sickly sweet voice leaning into the toddler's ear. Kate smiled happily and mouthed Thank you to Johnny before slowly retreating back to the kitchen.

"So then I said... umm no way! If I want to wear pink to prom then I will!!" Lily gasped whilst the family sat around the large dining table. "Why do girls make such a big fuss over prom anyway? You get to high school and there's a dance ever semester what's the big deal?" Jack said shovelling Macaroni Cheese into his mouth. "Ewwww" Lily said before turning to her brother. "Prom is HUGEEE.. it's the start of the rest of your romantic life, trust me. You fail at prom you'll never be happy." "I don't know about that darling." Johnny said sipping his drink. "Tell me one girl who had a rubbish prom but went onto marry her Prince Charming?" Lily said with a cocked eyebrow. Johnny pouted. "Me.." Kate giggled. "What??" Lily asked shocked. "My prom was awful. My date got drunk and threw up everywhere.. but I've married my Prince Charming." She said proudly. Jack looked at his sister waiting for her to respond. "Seriously? Your date got drunk?" Johnny asked. "Yep...." Kate said before looking at her plate and resuming her eating. Her husband knowing there must be more to that story than she was letting on.

After dinner, Belle was put to bed and the two elder children gathered in the living room as instructed by their father. Kate arrived first, placing some drinks down on the coffee table. "I bet he's going on that tour. He's scared we will miss him too much.." Jack said tinkering with a guitar. "Nooo don't be silly. With summer break we'll be able to go with him." Lily said looking at her nails. "Kate do you know why Dad want's to talk to us?" The woman opened her mouth to speak before Johnny arrived. "Stop digging, I'll tell you now." The man walked in and sat down beside his wife. "I wanted to talk to you, about the idea of expanding our family." He said happily.

"Woahh like a dog??" Jack asked with a huge smile on his face. "Oh my goodness I've always wanted another puppy!!" Lily gushed clapping her hands together making Kate bite her lip and look at a confused Johnny. "What?!! Wait, no. Not like a puppy..." the father said taking a deep breath.
