(Emily's POV)
I know I shouldn't have left everything until last minute, but I really couldn't be bothered going out and buying a dress earlier than today. And now I regret it, because I'm stressing out terribly. I needed to buy a dress for the party for the release of One Direction's album, and apparently so did Danielle. I don't actually know why she didn't do it earlier, but it doesn't matter, as we were both going out today to buy one.
We'd moved into our new house 2 weeks earlier, and everything was settled. All our new furniture was in, and all we needed to do was buy some furniture for the baby. I'd just passed 5 months, so Lou and I were eagerly awaiting the first kicks from Peanut.
I removed Louis' hand from my belly and wriggled out of bed as quietly and gently as I could. I went into our ensuite and ran the shower and waited for it to heat up. I glanced at my body in the mirror and I smiled at the sight of my ever growing stomach. I grazed my hand over my stomach and stepped into the shower. I eventually got out a white maturnal dress with gold flats. I'd opted out of wearing heels lately, because I'd heard they were bad for your back or something while pregnant. I mean if I felt like wearing them badly then I would, but I hardly ever did.
I went back into our bedroom and picked up my phone from the bedside table and saw that Danielle had texted me saying she'd be here in about a half hour. I went downstairs and took my medication and made some toast and took it into the lounge where I switched on the TV. I don't know how, but it turned onto a kids channel, and I smiled to myself thinking about how most of our days would be consumed by this soon. About 20 minutes later, I heard a knock at the front door and I cleared away my plate quickly and rushed to meet Danielle.
"Morning beautiful!" she exclaimed and pulled me into a hug.
"Hello gorg! Excited?" I asked her with a smile and she groaned.
"Noooo, I'm really hating myself for not doing this earlier," she rolled her eyes and I laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Same. And what if I can't find anything suitable today? I am pregnant afterall" I exclaimed worriedly and furrowed my brow.
"I'm sure you'll find something beautiful," she assured me and I sighed and started laughing. I scrawled a quick note to Lou before leaving and heading into town with Dan.
"Lou, gone into town with Danielle to buy a dress for this shindig tomorrow. I'll be back later, Em. Xxx"
We headed into town once again and looked through stores for Danielle first. Usually I would've been looking in the same shops as her, but with a mountain on my belly, I have to look in maternity shops.
We went into the first shop but there wasn't really anything either of us liked. The things that I did end up liking I didn't even bother to try on, because I knew there was no way in hell they would ever fit me.
We went into a few more shops, and then we went into one that Danielle fell in love with. There were so many dresses in there that she adored, and she tried on over 10. There were a few floor length gowns, but we decided that an above the knee would probably be more suitable.
"What about this one?" she asked uncertainly as she walked out of the dressing room in a black and gold dress. I smiled at her when I saw her, she looked beautiful.
"That's really nice! It looks really good on you!" I exclaimed excitedly and she threw me a big smile and walked back into her dressing room.
"What about this one?" she called out a few minutes later and walked out in a red dress which hugged her figure. She seriously looks good in anything, this girl!
"It's great, it suits you!" I laughed and threw her a big smile. She threw me another grateful smile and retreated back into her dressing room once again.
