Our Song

Chapter 19 - New Addition

Robyn's P.O.V.
I cannot believe that it is July already! I'm now 17 weeks pregnant, and my bump is huge. Every now and then I can feel the baby kick, and it always causes me to smile when they do. I'll never forget the first time I felt it kick. Thomas and I were watching The Avengers when it happened.

"Oh my God!" I gasped, sitting up quickly.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Thomas shot up and put his hands on my shoulders.

"The baby just kicked!" A smile grew on my face as I placed a hand on my stomach, "Haha! It did it again!" I took Thomas' hand is mine and pressed it on my stomach.

"You feel it?" I grinned, as he laughed.

"Oh my God yeah! Aw I can't believe it!" Thomas grinned, leaning in and kissing me, "I love you!"

"I love you too!" As soon as we'd got back from our holiday in the Lake District, I was instantly on the phone to Charlie, Georgie, Ava, Alex and Mum. Their responses were unbelievable - and very loud!

"I'm pregnant!" I exclaimed, quickly putting the phone on speaker so that Thomas could hear the reactions too.

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!! ROBYN THAT'S AMAZING!!" Georgie screamed.

"AHHHHHHHH ROBYN!!!! OH CONGRATULATIONS!!" Charlie cheered down the phone.

"OH MY GOD! AHHHH!" Ava squealed down the phone, "Well it's about time!" Thomas and I laughed.

"Are you serious? I'm gonna be an auntie? OH MY GOD!!!" Was Alex's response.

"OH ROBYN THAT'S AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS DEAR!" Was my mum's reaction. So yeah, on the whole, everyone was pretty excited!

Today's the day I turn 25. I'm so excited, because Thomas said he had a big surprise for me and I have absolutely no clue what it is! I'm currently in the kitchen, working on one of my illustrations when Thomas opened the front door.

"Robyn? You home?" He called from the hallway.

"Yeah I'm in here!" I shouted, looking up as he came into the kitchen.

"Hey love! How you feeling?" He grinned, leaning down and kissing me.

"Yeah, I'm great thanks! Still fat as ever but you know!" I laughed, making him chuckle.

"You're not fat, you're pregnant! There's a difference you know?" He chuckled, mimicking me and planting a kiss on my forehead, "So, you ready for your birthday present?"

"Oh yeah definitely!" I grinned, "What is it?" Smiling, he took my hand.

"Follow me!" I followed him into the living room and sat down on the floor.

"Right, wait here with your eyes closed!" He grinned, heading out into the hallway. Excited, I closed my eyes firmly shut and waited for Thomas to come back. A large grin grew on my face as I heard him come back into the living room.

"Okay, your eyes shut?" He asked, sitting down in front of me.

"Yeah!"

"Okey doke, well you can open them now!" My eyes shot open and my gaze fell onto Thomas' lap. Sitting there in his grasp, was a small spaniel puppy. He was black with white patches, and his tail was wagging like crazy.

"Oh my God, Thomas!" I gasped, as he handed me the puppy, "He's gorgeous!"

"You like him?" Thomas grinned, as I held the puppy so his nose was touching mine.

"Oh he's beautiful! Aren't you? Who's a good puppy? Who's a good puppy?" I giggled, as I started to talk to the dog in a baby voice. Thomas laughed when I kissed the puppy on his little black nose.

"Thomas, he's perfect!" I laughed, leaning forward and wrapping him in a hug, "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome! Hey, it's your 25th! Special birthday!" He grinned, scratching the puppy under the chin, "So what you wanna call him?" Tilting my head to the side, I lifted the puppy back to my face and looked him in the eye. There were loads of little white smudges in his black hair.

"Smudge!" I giggled, as the puppy tapped at the name.

"Smudge!" Thomas laughed, scratching the puppy's back, "That's brilliant! Smudge it is!" He smiled, leaning forward and kissing my nose.

"You like that huh Smudge?" I said, "Little Smudgey Pudge?"

"But Thomas, how are we gonna take care of him?" I asked, looking up at him as he started preparing dinner, "With a baby on the way, there's not going to be enough room! This house is only big enough really for two of us, let alone a dog and a baby." Turning to face me, Thomas took my hands in his.

"Well then, I guess that calls for your next birthday surprise!" He whispered, his forehead against mine.

"What?" I asked, rubbing noses with him. Smiling, he took something out of his back pocket and handed it to me. It was a printout from a website of a detached house in the country for sale.

"Are we moving?" I asked, looking up at him. He started grinning.

"There's an open house tomorrow for us to go and view it. I knew you were doubting that we'd have room for a child here, so I've thought ahead and if we like it, we can move in in six weeks!" I didn't know what to do! I was so happy right now!

"Oh Thomas!" I gasped, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him. He put his hands on my shoulder blades and pulled me closer to him.

"So you happy? New puppy, new house, new baby?" He said quietly, as we broke apart.

"Are you kidding I'm the happiest!" I laughed.
