Today's my birthday and I'm not looking forward to it, even though it sounds bad and Lizzie's out alot of work into making a nice day for me it's boiling here and the baby's due in like two weeks. I've spent my days in bras and pants because I get so uncomfortable so easily but I'm wearing a dress today because Lizzie's arranged a party.
I'm currently upstairs because there's caterers and people decorating the house so I'm not allowed down and I'm also in my pants and bra so that's also another reason. I'm sweating, it's so hot, why does pregnancy have to be so hard in the summer. The door opens and I look at the door "hey" Lizzie smiles coming to sit next to me "hi, why are you up here?" "Because I needed to check on you and get dressed" I look up at the ceiling and shake my head "you wanted to check on me incase I was in labour" "no that's not-" I give her the look "okay fine, maybe I was a little concerned. You haven't screamed for food in a while" I laugh and pull her down for a kiss. She pulls away slowly and moves the hair out of my eyes "are you going to get dressed?" She whispers and I nod "yeah but not for a while. I'm boiling" "I'll lay your dress out" I smile softly and watch as she goes over to the wardrobe "babe" she hums "birthing plan I um I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm agreeing to go to a hospital" she turns around with a cheeky smile "really? Well you weren't going to have a choice because I was going to drag you to the car myself" I laugh "yeah, I think it would make you calmer and I think it would be safer because of everything that's happened" she lays my dress on the bed and climbs back on "I'm glad" she leans down and kisses my cheek "I love you" "even though I'm in my pants?" She nods and smiles at my bump "yeah!" She puts her hand on it and we watch the baby's movements "maybe he'll take after you. Hockey or whatever you did" "I did ballet" "oh". She helps me sit up and I climb off the bed "alright, help me into this". I don't think the baby will be a boy but because of what I accidentally said at Jarnies house Lizzie's been keeping it against me and if I say anything else other than he she will add two anchovie jars to my bill.

The twins designed my dress, it's a similar style to my wedding dress but less fancy and no vail. Lizzie sorts the back out and I feel her press a soft kiss on the back of my neck "all done" I smile and turn around "it makes me feel fat which is stupid because I am" "it makes you look like a princess. I could do so many things to you right now". I peck her lips and take a deep breath "are you going to get changed?' "yep".
Everyone arrives and I watch out the window as their cars pull up on the drive. "Babe" I turns around and walk over to Lizzie "it will be fine. Everyone's outside" I hold her hand and follow her slowly down the stairs "come on" I lean into her and we walk outside. Everyone starts clapping and stares at me making me blush, Lizzie kisses my forehead and Scarletts walks over pulling me into a hug "happy birthday" she kisses my forehead "thank you. Is Rose here?" Scarlett smiles "yeah. She's with mom" she takes my hand "I'll bring her back in a minute" I smile at Lizzie and walk with Scarlett over to her mum. "Aunie Y/n!!" Rose runs into my legs and hugs them tightly "hi Rosie, I missed you so much" I stroke her hair with my hand since I can't get low enough. Scarlett picks her up and rose leans into me for a hug "aww thank you" I giggle putting my arm around her. I feel two hands on my back and I sntantoy know it's Lizzie from the touch "can I take the birthday girl back?" Scarlett nods and unwraps roses arms from around my neck "noooo" she points "I'll be back in a second" I tell her and move closer to Lizzie "happy birthday sweetie" Melanie smiles holding my arm "thank you for you coming. I didn't know Lizzie was throwing me a party until this morning so it's a surprise seeing everyone" she smiles softly and lets go "your presents are somewhere" Scarlett says looking around for them "oh thank you but there's was really no need. I don't need presents, only you guys" "well I think you'll need mine in a few weeks" I laugh seeing her wink "we should get going". Lizzie holds my hand taking me over to her family "having a good party so far?' "yeah, it's the best one" she smiles widely and squeezes my hand reassuringly.
"Y/m!!!" Mary-Kate squeals and puts her arms around me "happy birthday!" Soon enough all of Lizzies family's arms are around me wishing me a happy birthday. "Thank you so much for all coming. I wasn't expecting anything like this" Jarnie smiles softly "happy birthday" I smile and look at Lizzie "I'm hungry, can we eat now?" "Now!? Seriously?" I nod "yeah, I'm literally nine months pregnant" "well in that case yes but I want to say something first. Scarlett" she motions for them to come over so they do. "What started as nothing has become one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I fell in love and decided to marry my life long partner. My first thoughts in the morning are about you and my last thoughts in the evening are about you babe. I used to wake up most mornings and wonder if you were a year older than you were the day before and when your birthday was. Your birthday is definitely a day to celebrate because it's the day you were brought into this world and made me the most happiest person on the planet. I now know why you never told me when your birthday was and that's because you wanted to share it with a children" I laugh with everyone else "no I'm joking but I'm glad you finally told me. Happy birthday baby" Lizzie pulls me into a kiss causing me to sink into her touch. We both pull away at the same time and smile into eachothers eyes "happy 27th birthday" she strokes my the back of my hand "thank you" I whisper. Suddenly everyone starts singing causing me to turn around the see what's happening. Scarlett carrying the most beautiful cake I've see "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Y/nnn. Happy birthday to you" I blow out the candles and everyone claps.

"Here's the knife, I'll put it on the table and you can cut it" I nod and follow her "did you make it?' she smiles making me know "babe it's gorgeous, when did you have time for this?" I ask leaning into her "I made it at mom's yesterday when you stayed at home" "you are seriously the best wife. Do you know that?' she kisses my lips and everyone awws around us. Jarnie takes a photo before I cut the cake and then Lizzie hands everyone a slice who wants a bit which is mostly everyone. I rub my lower bump feeling a couple of Braxton hicks but it catches Scarletts attention and I look away seeing her start to walk over "you alright?' she asks cutting her cake with the fork "yeah. Why wouldn't I be?' she give me the 'are you dumb' look so I sigh "it's just a few Braxtons, it's nothing. I promise. I'm the midwife" I tell her "I know you are but you lie. If you don't tell me the truth I'll tell Lizzie and her mom" "I'm not joking Scar, seriously. She's securely stuck up in here" she laughs and smiles "too much information and your wife would kill you if she knew you called them a she" "I am aware but luckily she's not here".
I sit on the sofa and watch everyone whilst rubbing my bump "are you hungry sweetheart? Should we find mama and get some food?" "No need, mamas right here" I smile hearing Lizzie's seducing voice and loose myself feeling her arms wrap around my neck. "are you having a good party?' "I am, thank you for organising" I look up at her and she places a soft kiss between my lips "my pleasure. How's my little gremlin?" She asks sliding her hands onto my stomach "big, running out of space" she smiles and rubs her thumbs in circles "he'll be here before we know it. Tomorrow I'll put the bottles in the sanitation box thingy" I laugh and cup her cheek "that's not the name of it but okay. Next time I'm not being heavily pregnant in the summer, understand?" "Yes ma'am" she giggles making me role my eyes "I don't know how mum did it with me. It's exhausting and I wasn't a small baby" "well your doing amazing and your strong and your mom was too. I'm sure she's helping you through this journey" I nod and sign "yeah I'm sure she is but it doesn't mean I'm not tired. I want you to grab him and pull him out" "I wish I could but I can't. Your always really tight-" "no I'm not!' "babe you are unless your pregnant. Let's do some dancing" she walks around and helps me up "I can't dance, have you seen the size of me?" "It's not exactly dancing'.
She takes me to the main garden and put her arms around my waist "lean on me and we can sway" "but I weigh like a gazzilion pounds" "doesn't matter. Just do it".
