Lexi’s POV
We soon came home from the shops, we had to get mum to pick us up because we had too much stuff to take on the bus. Mum picked us up outside the shops in her 4 wheel drive and we put all our shopping in the far back. Luke and I jumped in the back seat and mum and Gina were in the front seat, getting along like anything. Talk Dirty to me came on the radio and Luke and I started doing the talk dirty dance in the backseat and sung to each other. Gina turned around and said “Aw look at you too” as mum looked in her rear-vision mirror and smiled at us. Luke pulled the cheekiest toothy smile which made me laugh.
When we got home, mum and Gina helped us unload our shopping and take it inside. We put it all in the loungeroom and mum and Gina sat down on the couches while Luke and I began to do a show and tell. Luke lifted up a big box “We bought this pram” he said smiling, pointing to the photo on the box. “Aw that’s lovely” my mum said and Gina spoke “I love it sweetie”. I picked up the next box saying “This is the change table and also has drawers underneath it for storage” I said pretending to be a saleswoman. We also showed them the change mat for the change table and the cot mattress, along with a baby bath and a bassinet. We wanted to save the other stuff to buy in the months to come, it was so much fun. “I wanted to talk to you about something” mum said as I nodded and sat down next to her. “What would you think about turning the second guest bedroom into the baby’s room?” she asked me. Was that a stupid question? “Yes of course, that’d be awesome” I smiled, turning to look at Luke as he sat down next to me, snaking his arm around my waist, kissing me gently on the shoulder. “Well we should start setting it up in a few weeks, get it painted and stuff yeah” mum said as I nodded and smiled in agreement. I put all the baby stuff in the garage and decided that we should get ready as we had an hour and a half to be at the restaurant which was 20 minutes away. We were going to a cute Italian place at Scarborough, I was pretty keen, not gonna lie their food is delicious.
I wore a flowy, coral coloured top that didn’t show my baby bump and black leather tights, matched with tall black leather pumps. Luke wore a nice fitted long sleeve formal shirt and nice jeans, with his favourite brown suede lace up shoes. Gina looked gorgeous, wearing black jeans, matched with black high heel boots and a white silk top and a black leather jacket. We arrived at the restaurant, in our taxi and we began walking across the carpark to the restaurant. I was so nervous, I had the biggest butterflies in my stomach, I felt like I was going to be sick, just before we reached the entrance, I ran over to the bush and vomited. Luke quickly ran over and pulled my hair back, rubbing my back “Babe are you alright?” he asked as I stood up and said “Yep I think so” wiping my mouth, “Just morning sickness I think” I told him. “But it’s night time.. is that normal? He asked me. “Honey, it comes at all times of the day” Gina laughed as she told Luke. He seemed confused but we carried on walking inside.
Gina must’ve spotted my dad because she called out “Rob “waving her arm in the air, god she was cute. We went over to the table and Gina introduced Luke as they shook hands and dad stood up to give me a kiss and hug. Gina sat next to dad and I sat opposite them with Luke. The waitress came over and asked to take our entrée and drinks order. “We’ll have 2 garlic pizzas with the guacamole dip and I’ll have a corona thanks” dad said as the waitress wrote it down and turned to Gina “I’ll have a rum and coke thanks” she smiled at the waitress as she turned to Luke and I. “Um I’ll have a raspberry lemonade please” I said, realising how immature I sounded, but they were the best drinks. “You drinking?” I asked Luke. “Yeah just one or two” he smiled. “I’ll have a corona thanks” he smiled at the waitress as she walked away, getting our drinks. “A corona man, I like you already” dad said to Luke as luke laughed, a little too hard, I think he was nervous. He couldn’t be anywhere near as nervous as me, I was about to tell my dad that his favourite daughter was pregnant at 16. I decided to just tell him, get it over and done with before the waitress came back over. “Dad I have to tell you something” I said as dad looked up and Gina smiled at me sympathetically. “Dad.. well this is hard to tell you and I know you’re going to be disappointed but I’m being smart about it and yeah well.. I’m pregnant” said bluntly. Dad looked at me confused. “Yeah I know the hospital already told me” dad said, as If nothing was wrong. I looked at Luke and he was just as shocked as I was. “And… what do you think?” I asked dad. “Well are you expecting a congratulations or something.. cause you’re not going to get it. BUT…. As long as you two are happy and are going to be responsible about this and you truly love each other then there’s nothing I can do about it” dad said, not looking up from his menu. We sat there awkwardly for a few seconds until finally dad looked up and said “So how far along are you?” with a slight grin. One thing about my dad, he can’t hold a grudge, he gets the disappointed part over and done with and then is interested and keen to talk about it. I seriously love my dad so much. Now the hardest part was over and I was so excited for our baby. I turned to Luke and he kissed me on the lips gently after getting the “Nod of Approval” from my dad.
