The Sweetheart

Chapter 30

-Ella-

It had been two weeks, and I was back with Louis. Paul drove me home, and he stayed in our guest room while I waited for Louis to come home. These past two weeks have been hell. The baby is already starting to keep me up at night. We went to the hospital the day after the boys returned for the first ultrasound. Louis spread the cold gel on my belly, and the doctor took a look at our baby.

"It seems to be doing fine. There's nothing that looks wrong or anything unusual about the development so far. I can't really tell the sex of the baby yet, but that's natural. I should be able to tell in about six months. Alright, let's just get the gel off, and then I'll set you up with the nurse to schedule your next appointment."

"At least nothing's wrong in there," Louis said, poking my slightly swollen stomach. It felt weird having the extra weight on me. I've always been extremely skinny, so I've always been balanced, and never had too much weight on my heels. Carrying this extra baby weight is already bothering my back.

"Yeah. I think I already have a name. If it's a boy, I'd like Gavin."

"How about the girl?"

"I'm not sure yet." Oh no, I was completely sure. I knew. She'll have the perfect name. Louis drove me home, sort of. He went into the wrong neighborhood, and after we entered, he stopped.

"Okay, you have to cover your eyes with this until I say." He put the blindfold over my eyes, and started the car again. He drove for a bit, and then he stopped.

"Can I take this off yet?"

"No love. Now, grab my hand." I reached up, and took his hand. He helped me out of the car, and walked me down a sidewalk. "Okay, we're almost there. Annnnnnnnnnnnd stop. Now, take the blindfold off." I did as I was told, and took the blindfold off. When I did, I wanted to cry. Not in sadness, but in joy. In front of me, was a big one story house with a huge gated front yard. It looked exactly like the one from my dream.

"Louis, I love it," I squealed. I gave him a humungous hug, and looked at it. It was perfect. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a big kitchen, and a nice living room. Just the right amount of space for our family. Our family of four. And we have an extra room as a play room or a guest room. I could see it. Our future is bright, and I get to shine with the man I love. All of this kind of makes me think back to primary school. When I first met Louis. We weren't afraid of 'Cooties' or any of that childish nonsense. We believed that a boy and girl could be best friends. Now, we're both 21, almost 22, and we have a child on the way. A perfect child that will be adored by their uncles, and their grandparents. Our child will be hated by the fans, but will be loved by their family. But that's all that matters really. As long as you have your family, no one has to like you. I learned that going through school.

School as rough, and no one really liked me. But I had Louis, and my mum. When I hit the sixth grade, I had Carter, Kyle, Danny, Jesse, and Louis. But Louis was there first. It was nice to be loved. It was nice to have more than one friend. It's always nice to meet new people. Especially if you're not popular. If someone isn't friendly to you, don't mind them. If someone truly cares about you, then you should give them attention. Don't waste your energy being bitter to people who are bitter to you. Use your energy to focus on positive things. That's what I did. Sure, I did listen to what mean people said to me, but I didn't go saying stuff back to them. That was Louis' job. I focused on keeping my grades up, and look at me. I got accepted into Stanford University in California. If you pay attention to the important things, then you really get far in life. Sure, I'm only 21, but I've seen enough to be able to say this kind of thing. Ignore the nonsense in your life, focus on the road that leads to success.

All I can say is, don't suck. You'll be very successful. As Walt Disney once said,

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Keep moving forward. Open up new doors, do new things, just don't do anything you'll regret. Because, believe it or not, that takes a toll on your future. And no one wants to have a dark future. We all want to have a bright future that leads to wealth, long life, and children. We all want the same thing. We are all ambitious. All human beings are the same. And with that, we get back to the story. I'm done being freakin Plato.

So, do you guys like my philosopher mode? xD I don't even know if that was the right word of wiseness to use, but hey, what the hell. This is the third to last chapter, I'm considering making a sequel. MAYBE.
