Ever lasting Nochelle(sequel to a Nochelle Pregnancy)

Chapter eighteen || At the door

*not proof read, probably mistakes*
Been awhile since I last saw you..
Richelle's PoV
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'm coming!"
I yelled down the stairs. A loud piercing noise filtered into the room. The doorbell. Who could that be? I placed my hand on the lock, turning it and pulling the door open.
"Richelle!"
A chorus of voices rang out. I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes to the bright sunlight before staring up at our guests. There stood, bundled together on the placemat was the girls from A troupe. From Giselle to Sloane and Piper to Michelle. Each stood happily with big smiles planted on their faces.
"Oh hey. What are you guys doing here?"
I asked hesitantly. I didn't mean to sound rude, I'm just surprised that's all. I watched as they looked around at each other, before turning to Amy who was at the back of the crowd. Has it something to do with Amy?
"I don't mean to sound rude-"
I started however I was soon cut off by Piper rushing forward and grabbing me into a hug. Okay? I'm not going to lie, I'm quite confused. After a while Piper let me go, however keeping one arm wrapped around my waist.
"I'm sorry guys! I couldn't help myself"
She exclaimed with excitement. Everyone gave her a gentle smile.
"That's alright Piper..we were going to show her anyway.."
Replied Giselle. I'm very very confused. Can someone please just tell me what going on?
"Please. What's going on? Why are you all here?"
I asked once more, hoping this time I would get an answer. Michelle walked forward a little.
"I'm sorry Richelle. I couldn't help it..it just sort of...slipped out.."
She told me. Oh wait? Is she talking about-? Suddenly something popped out at the back beside Amy. Something small and round. A balloon! I looked around at everyone confused before looking closer to read the writing on it.

"Congratulations on your new arrival!"

Ah! So that why they are here. They know about the baby. Wait..they know about the baby! What am I going to do?
"We're sorry about the text. We couldn't get one that read 'Congratulations on your pregnancy'
Exclaimed Amy, pulling the balloon down with the string. I can't believe they told everyone!
"You told everyone.."
I said.
"I couldn't help it Ritchie. I was just so excited!"
Replied Michelle a hint of sorrow evident in her voice. I suppose she couldn't help it. Everyone knows Michelle can't keep a secret for long, it's apart of her genes.
"That's alright Mitchie, everyone would have found out sooner or later. Do you wanna come in? It looks cold out there.."
I replied moving out of the way of the door so that they could filter into the living room. Once everyone was in I closed the door, turning to them.
"Anyone want a drink?"
I asked, politely. They nodded their heads, yes. I stared to walk towards the kitchen but however I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey Richelle, I'll get them. You sit down.."
Said Piper, a gentle smile on her face. I so desperately wanted to say I was not useless. I mean..just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I've lost the ability to move my arms and legs, but I didn't. She is only trying to be polite. So I nodded curtly before waking to the only empty seat, right in the middle, surrounded by everyone.
"You must be excited Richelle! You're pregnant!"
Exclaimed Amy, clapping her hands in glee. Oh really? I hadn't noticed. Please note the sarcastic tone.
"Have you found out if it's a boy or a girl yet? Oh! What colour are you going to paint the nursery? When will you start showing? Have you told Sophia? Have you told Noah? Oh please tell me you've told him."
Asked Amy quickly. Who does she think I am? Of course I freaking told him! He's my fiancée for gods sake! Her questions are staring to irritate me.
"Amy! Of course she told him. Why don't you go help Piper with the drinks, huh?"
Replied Michelle sweetly, although I knew she was dying to roll her eyes at the young girls eagerness and over ehhuverence. Thank god Michelle. Only you would notice how annoyed I was getting at her constant prying. I know she doesn't mean it, it's just her over excitement and my tiredness do not mix well.
     I watched as Amy nodded her head before sitting up and walking towards the kitchen.
"So where's Nancy?"
Asked Giselle with a smile. Oh...I forgot about Nancy. Where did she tell me she was going again? Oh yes! I remember.
"One of her old friends is in town so she went to spend the day with her. I don't think she'll be home until later on"
I replied softly. Then we were back to the quiet. I know many of the current A troupers were dying to ask me some questions but were afraid to get the same cold expression from Michelle.
"You can ask me some questions you know. Just not so fast. Take your time."
I said, breaking the ice. I could practically see everybody relax and let out a sigh.
"Does Nancy know? About the baby?"
Announced Thaila curiously. The other girls nodded in agreement of the question, notably curious also. I was waiting for this question. I didn't think it would be the first one they asked though.
"Yeah...yeah she does. And surprisingly she's happy about it. She said it was bound to happen sometime soon.."
I told them timidly, almost embarrassed. I heard a few let out a little laugh at Nancy's choice of words. To be honest with you...I'm not proud of this. But after Jiley, we come in close second to the award of 'Being caught making out in the studio, the most amount of times'. I did say I was not proud of it. I'm not surprised that they are laughing.
"And that...is exactly the reason that I love Nancy.."
Said Giselle, wiping at the tears of laughter which was drifting down her cheeks. At that moment, Piper and Amy walked into the room holding a tray of wine glasses. Huh? Wine? They handed one to each of us before sitting down on a chair. We all turned to them in confusion.
"Where did you get the wine?"
I asked inquisitively, looking down at the contents of my glass. Amy walked over to me, taking the glass from my hand. Hey!
"I forgot you were pregnant. None for you."
She said walking back to her seat to answer my question.
"We found it in the bottom cupboard. We think it might be Nancy's. She won't mind though. We are celebrating!"
Announced Amy, who was going to take a sip of her glass.
"Ah no you don't!"
Exclaimed Giselle getting up and removing the glasses from Cassie, Sloane, Piper and Amy.
"Oi!"
They announced as their glasses were taken from them. Giselle placed them on the floor next to her.
"You guys are under eighteen. It's illegal for you to drink"
She exuded, her protective side coming out.
"Oh come on Giselle! We're seventeen. Well apart from Piper. And we're celebrating! Just this once."
Pleaded Sloane. Giselle just nodded her head, no. There's no point trying Sloane. Giselle is stubborn. I think I'm going to miss the buzz of alcohol. I mean I know I can't have it anyway even though I'm over eighteen. This alcohol could seriously hurt the baby.
"Anyways where were we? Oh yes! Speaking of Nancy. Where is the dude with good swimmers? Just in case you didn't get the joke, I mean Noah.."
Laughed Giselle. I could help but let out a giggle. Good swimmers? That's a new one, I haven't heard it before. I was about to answer then when suddenly the door opened, revealing a wind battered and rain soaked Noah. Draped underneath Noah's coat was a little body.
"He right there.."
I announced, watching as Noah walked in the door and shut it. He looked up the stairs
"HEY RICHELLE! IM HO...oh."
He yelled, switching his eyes from looking up the stairs so the living room. I watched as his face went a little red at the sight of the girls, all looking at him.
"Daddy..."
Mumbled a little voice. Noah removed the coat to reveal Sophia hidden underneath, completely dry. Had he covered with his coat so she wouldn't get wet? If so, that's adorable. The other girls must have noticed too, as they let out a whimper.
"Hey Noah! Surprise! I bet you didn't expect to see us.."
Exclaimed Amy, in her overly happy tone. By his confused expression and slightly red cheeks, I'm guessing that's true. He nodded his head.
"Umm..nope?.."
He said slowly, cocking an eyebrow. He turned to glance at me. By his eyes I knew he was asking why they were here.
"Uhhum.."
I coughed to get everyone's attention.
"The girls are here to celebrate. They know about the pregnancy, Michelle told them."
I announced. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Michelle whisper 'sorry' as her face tinged with redness. Back to Noah. He cocked an eyebrow, his face displaying a look of realisation.
"Oh.."
He said.
"Thank goodness!"
He sighed in happiness. Huh? What does that mean?
"Noah?.."
I questioned. He looked at me.
"Umm....James may have accidentally told Eldon..who umm can't keep his mouth closed and told everyone else. It's okay though. They are happy about it. Actually Max is a little to happy to be honest, I think there might be something wrong with him.."
He said in disbelief. James? Eldon? Does none of our friends not know how to keep secrets?
"Ha! See it's not only me who can't keep things secret!.."
Exclaimed happily. We turned to face her. She started to red in embarrassment.
"There's a time and a place Michelle"
Responded Giselle, in a condescending tone.
"Well umm...I guess that's telling everyone sorted. Yeah..soo. I'm going to got take a shower. I'm just a little wet.."
Said Noah, turning around in a circle so we could get the full results of the pounding rain. He was right. The only part of him not wet was a little spot, where Sophia was resting.
"Alright."
I said walking over to Noah. I gently took, Sophia from his arms.
"I'll look after Sophia, you go shower..."
I said sweetly, looking into his eyes. He looked down at me, giving me a gentle smile. He leaned down and gave me a soft peck on the lips.
"You're the best..."
He said, before walking up the stairs. Ah. Oh Noah. I don't know what I would do without you.
"Couple goals, right there"
"Why can't Henry be that cute?"
"Sophia has the best parents.."
I turned around only to see the girls cooing at me. Couple goals? We are far from couple goals. You should see us when we are tired.
"Oh stop it..anyways I thought we were celebrating. Who fancies pizza?!"

Ugh, I'm ending it there. My fingers hurt. I've literally been writing this for a few hours. It was light when I started this and now it's dark. Anyways enjoy
