Aurora was well within five or six days of the doctor seeing her and Carrie-Ann was happy to have her little girl back, it was horrible seeing her sick and defeated, it's not the way any baby should look.
With how well things were going lately, Carrie-Ann felt happy. Aurora was beautiful and healthy(again), Harry was happy within himself which brought her great security. Her book was going well and the designs she'd been sending to the Burberry offices were having great feedback.
Today, she was going to a meeting with her publishing house to talk about her book and other stuff that she didn't really understand but she enjoyed anything that was to do with her book.
Harry was golfing with Niall so Anne offered to take Aurora for the two hours, they'd then meet up again and meet Gemma at the dress shop to finalise which dress would be her wedding dress.
"And if there anything else, just call me or Harry-"
"I am a mother dear," Anne laughs. "I appreciate it but we've got it all covered." She bounces Aurora up and down on her hip, her big grey eyes peering up at Carrie-Ann in confusion, it broke her heart but it would just be two hours. She could do this.
"Okay, right, sorry."
"See you later," Anne waves as Carrie-Ann turns around to wave back at Aurora one final time.

The meeting was quite boring but Carrie-Ann still listened to everything that was discussed.
It wasn't until they said: "Carrie-Ann, we want you to write another book." That she really got engaged.
"Sorry.. What? Really?"
The chief executive nodded. "Your first book flew off he shelves, you sold 200,000 copies in the first seven days in the US alone. I think everyone is waiting for the second book."
She all of a sudden felt under pressure, she had enjoyed writing but it took up a lot of time and energy. She had finished by the time Aurora was born so she wouldn't know how she'd balance writing and taking care of her.
"Oh, wow, well-"
"We can have another meeting next week to discuss contracts, money, story lines. How does that sound?"
Carrie-Ann was a little stunned. "Er-okay, yeah. Yeah, sure."
The exec smiled. "Great, we believe in you Carrie-Ann."
She swallowed hard, she was glad they believed in her because even Carrie-Ann didn't believe in Carrie-Ann right now.

Carrie-Ann was a little late to the dress fittings, Anne had a tea in her hand whilst Gemma bounced Aurora in her lap.
"Sorry, the traffic is awful." Carrie-Ann panted shrugging her coat off.
Anne smiled. "You're fine dear, ready to try them on again?"
Carrie-Ann was excited to see her final three dresses again, but not so excited having to pick just one.
She put the first dress on and walked out to them.
