The Makeup Artist (Norman Reedus)

Dot

Eventually everyone made their way home, getting in various cabs and making a lot of noise in the street doing so, the neighbours must hate Norman and Louise all ready! Louise began clearing up "nah, dont..come on" Norman stopped her and pulled her upstairs to go to bed, falling onto the bed and slowly getting under the covers after throwing the clothes where they fell, they both let out a 'tired' sigh as they sunk into the coolness of the bedding. Norman pulled Louise closer and began kissing her neck "mmmm" she moaned as he trailed kisses over her neck. She knew what he was after.

Waking up the next day Norman rolled over to check the time, gently stirring Louise, who was deep in a slumber. "Urgh, i feel like death" Louise groaned rolling over onto her stomach and embedding her face into the pillow. "We need eggs...bacon...--" Norman was cut off by Louise jolting up and running to the bathroom feeling nauseous. "You hungover baby?" Norman yelled playfully while sitting up in bed. "Nooo" she groaned from the toilet bowl. Opening the door after starting to feel better she saw Norman smile from under the covers as he lifted them up for her to get under. "Norman, im pregnant" she says getting under the covers to join him, Norman sat upright "really?" He said smiling. "Wow" he whispered to himself. "You ready to do it all again?" He laughed pulling Louise onto his chest for a cuddle.

They stayed in bed for most of the morning, chatting with excitement "i wonder how far along you are" Norman asks getting the calendar out "well i was over two weeks late" Louise explains as they point to dates on the calendar. "Wonder what the boys will think?" Louise asks propping herself up on pillows "doubt they would notice you waddling around the house with that playstation!" Norman jokes getting out of bed and motioning Louise to do the same.

Sitting in the living room as they tuck into a bowl of cereal each ,Louise brings up the wedding "so what shall we do ?" "We could get married before you show?" Norman suggested, Louise couldnt help giggle at the milk he had dribbling down his chin, wiping it away for him as he also laughs at himself, she nodded at his idea, "a simple garden wedding would do me" Louise added clearing up from breakfast. "Really?" Norman asked, he didnt think Louise would like something like that. "Mmhmm when i was a girl i used to dream i'd marry Brad Pitt that way" she replied with a wink. "Listen i best get on with the doctors appointment you best read your lines!" Louise prompted.

Liam came home later that day explored the new house and huffed at how his mom laid out his room, Louise knew Liam secretly liked his stuffed toys on his bed still even if he wouldnt admit it. Norman gave the boys two rooms of the same size so there could be no arguments if one decided the other was the 'favourite' , Louise and Norman's room had a ensuite and big screen tv . Later on Liam sat and read Norman's lines with him, he didnt take much persuading when it came to The Walking Dead. They decided not to tell the boys about the baby until after the first doctor's appointment when they would be given a due date. Louise went out with Mia for a coffee to discuss the events the night before and the baby/wedding.

"Did you tell Norman?" Mia asked adding sugar to her drink, "yup! We are so excited!" Louise beamed, "but we are going to get married before i start to show, no one wants to be a whale getting married!" She added laughing. "Well i have a confession to make...." Mia said after a small silence, "i went home with someone" she smiled cheekily which prompted Louise to stop everything and nudge her friend into revealing who! "Who? Who?" She asked while Mia blushed "Sean" Mia whispered and then hid her face with her hands jokingly "shutup! Did you?!?" Louise asked shocked. Mia nodded and winked "wow! So....how was he?" Louise questioned with a raised eyebrow.

Getting back home as the sun went down, Louise confessed to Norman about Mia and Sean, not realising Liam was still in ear shot, causing him to say "eeew!" loudly.  "I managed to get an appointment Monday" Louise whispered to Norman seeing as Liam was in the room still. "Im not due on set until 5pm so that should be cool" he replied squeezing her hand. "What is?" Liam piped up, Norman and Louise smiled at each other,

Monday came and Liam went off to school, Norman and Louise couldnt wait for midday to come when they could have their appointment and spent the day clock watching. Norman drove them, and Louise people watched from the passenger window "so i think if we get married next two months...i wont be showing, i didnt show with Liam for ages" she mentioned in a daze out the window, "well filming wraps up end of the month so, we should be able to, and you can do less days the bigger you get" Norman went on. This was all so exciting their family were coming together as one and they were both ecstatic.

"Good afternoon, im nurse Paige, sorry about the wait, we get a bit way laid at times" Paige apologised introducing herself to Norman and Louise as Louise lay on the bed. "Right so lets begin so we can work out your due date" she said applying the jelly to Louise's toned stomach, seeing as it would just be a dating scan to see roughly when the baby would be here they were not expecting to see much on the screen apart from a tiny little dot. "Well looking at everything and your last period i would say around 2nd November, is that what you worked out?" Paige spoke as she filled out a prescription for vitamins and booked Louise in for a midwife appointment.

Norman and Louise both sat in the car looking at the tiny dot in the sonogram photo they were given. Both smiling.
