Roses and Violets

Chapter 33:

Brooke:

I was walking around the house blasting Christmas music as I decorated. "Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock." I sang as I placed ornaments on the tree. It was almost Christmas and I was now 6 months pregnant.

Luke and boys got held over at the studio and should be home any day now. I was reaching to put the star on top of the tree but I was too short and my belly was getting in the way. The baby hasn't kicked yet but I know what sex it is.

I was still struggling when an arm reach over me and put it on. I felt the arms wrap around my waist and I heard Luke said "hi babe." As he kissed the top of my head.

It was now Christmas morning and Paisley had called me at 6:30 to wake me up because she said she would be over at 8 and we needed to open presents.

I woke Luke up and wrapped a blanket around me before walking out to the living room. I sat on the couch rubbing my stomach while Luke made coffee in the kitchen. "You sure you don't want any babe?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm sure." I said as I stopped rubbing my stomach when he walked out. "You go first." Luke said. I grabbed the first present with my name on it and opened it. It was a charm bracelet.

After I opened everything Luke started on his. The first thing he opened was the guitar picks that I had custom made for him. "I don't want to use these now." He said as he placed the box on the side.

He opened the next one and it was a onesie that said daddy's little buddy." And it had a bib that said I love daddy.

He just kinda looked at me but kept going. He finally opened the card. He saw the sonogram and then the clothes and looked at me. "Flip it over." I said smiling at him.

The back of the sonogram said "It's a boy! Congrats" in the doctors hand writing.

"We're having a baby?" He asked his voice quiet in shock.

"Yes." I said my smile fading, now he was gonna flip out.

"WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!" He shouted jumping up from the floor and running over to me giving me a kiss before sitting on the floor in front of me.

"Did you pick a name yet?" He asked. I just shook my head no.

"Well his name is now Christopher Bradley." He said as he placed a hand on my stomach.

For the first time, he kicked. "That's the first time he's kicked." I said. "Really?" Luke asked getting all excited.

"He must have been waiting for me." Luke added with a smug look on his face.

Paisley came over shortly after and Luke had to brag to Ashton and show him the sonogram. I had his heartbeat recorded on my phone so I played it for them to hear.

"I'm due in March." I said rubbing my stomach as the recording played.

"I can't wait to meet you little man." Luke said as he sat in front of my stomach. He placed a kiss to my stomach and smiled up at me.

"When did you find out?" He asked.

"The day you left for tour." I said quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.

"I wanted to I really did, it's just we were all so busy and then Paisley came up with this idea and I thought it was cute and -" Luke cut off my rambling by kissing me.

"We have to go get family photos!" Luke said as he ran to talk to Paisley.
