"Babe could you come help me please" I yell out as I tried to put on a pair of heels. I smile as I hear footsteps approach me. "Should you be wearing heels?"
"It's been a while since I've seen them and I want to look good."
"Baby you look good in anything, I just don't want you to hurt yourself or the baby."
It's been about 5 years since the night at the club. Amelia and I pursued a relationship after that night and if my huge belly or the ring on my finger aren't proof of that then I don't know what is. We were still newlyweds, we didn't have a wedding though. It was at the courthouse 3 months ago and the only people there other than us were my parents, Jess, Amelia's parents, and her sister.
"Are you sure you still want to go? I know the baby is causing you discomfort." I was currently 7 months along and she had every right to worry. "Thank you for being such a caring wife but it'll be fun. Don't worry, unless you don't want to go? We can stay."
"No, no I'm good I just don't want you to over exert yourself."
"I'll be fine baby." She helped me put on my jacket and then we made out for a few minutes before heading out. These pregnancy hormones were kicking my ass.
Truth be told I was excited to see the group again, It had been months maybe even close to a year since I've seen them. I was lucky enough to not see Taylor all these years and I was hoping I would get lucky today too.
We made it to the restaurant pretty quickly thanks to an Uber but I wouldn't be surprised if we were still the last ones there. As we made our way through I held on to Amelias hand. One of the hostess's lead us to the back where the dinner party was at.
As we made it into the room I heard Gigi through all the talking "Charlie! You made it! Oh my goodness look at you! You're a beauty!"
"Hi! Thank you! You look all look beautiful! It's so good to see all of you!"
Gigi walked up to me and said "can I touch your belly? How far along are you?" I nodded.
"I'm currently 7 months almost 8." We continued to make conversation as we sat down. The seat in front of Amelia was empty and I could already sense who it was for. Amelia had her arm around me as the drinks were passed around asking me if i was alright.
"So Amelia how excited are you for the baby? Guys we forgot to congratulate them!"
"It's been a dream come true. It was chaos in the beginning of trying but we made it through. And yea we got married a few months back we didn't say anything because it was just at the courthouse we didn't want to have anything big."
I smiled as I looked at Amelia and I added "it's a boy!"
The whole table congratulated us. Amelia held on to me as se kissed my head.
"What are we cheering for?" My smile dropped in a millisecond, it was probably hilarious to see.
"Charlie and Amelia got married and are having a baby boy in a few months!"
I didn't even look at her face for a reaction instead I looked at Amelia. I didn't want tonight to be awkward. Amelia knew of our past I told her everything a few months in to our relationship.
"Congratulations." Taylor smiled but I could see it didn't reach her eyes. That was not my problem anymore.
As we finished dinner I turn to Amelia and whisper "babe can you help me stand up I've got to use the restroom." She nodded and stoop up before helping me up. "You want me to go with you?"
