Chapter 43: I think I just felt the baby kick.

Zoe's POV

"Okay chummy I'll see you later on!"

"Be here for 5!"

"Bye!"

"Bye Louise!"

I hung up the phone and told Alfie that Louise was coming over to stay the night so we could catch up but Louise's sister, Tiyana, had asked to keep Darcy and Matt had work the next day so it would just be Louise. He said that was fine, like he always does. I was 21 weeks pregnant and my bump was really starting to show now. It was really nice though, it did mean we would have to tell the subscribers soon but it didn't really matter. It was obvviously something that we would have to tell them and now would probably be the best time. I have thought about bringing it up to Alfie because he probably really wants to tell the subscribers but I don't know how to. I started to get the spare room ready for when Louise came, I made the bed and looked out some towels in case she wanted to shower when she was here. After I had the room ready I went and had a shower, I washed my hair and my body before getting out and going through to our bedroom. I picked out a comfy outfit which consisted of a white tank top, some grey joggers and Alfie's maroon jumper. I then put on some fluffy socks and I pleated my hair into two french braids so that when my hair dried it would be wavy. I applied some powder foundation and some mascara with some nude eyeliner on my waterline and I went through to the living room. I sat down in front of the TV and put Liar Liar the film to watch. Alfie sat down next to me not long after it started and I leaned onto his chest and he put his arm around my shoulder. I remember watching the film but not for long because I must of fell asleep. The next thing I know I waken up because I hear the buzz of someone wanting into the building. Alfie gets up and it was Louise. We buzzed her in and she came up and knocked on the door. I answered and immediately gave her a hug.

"Chummy!!"

"I have missed you! How many weeks are you now?"

"21 weeks! It has gone by so fast! I can't believe I'm about half way through now!"

"Your bump is getting big! It is beautiful! Have you felt baby kick yet?"

"No, not yet actually. I have read that it is meant to be some time around now though!"

"Yeah it is. I felt Darcy kick at 21 weeks"

"This is so exciting!"

"I know!"

We came inside and we sat down, I fell asleep so didn't have time to cook anything for tea. Oh well, we could get a takeaway!

"Alfie?"

"Yeah little one?"

"Can you be the best fiancé ever?"

"What would you like babe?"

"Can you pick up a nandos for us?"

"Sure thing, both of you want your usual?"

"Please" came out of me and Louise's mouths at the same time. We laughed before Alfie left to get some food. It was about half past five and I was hungry! Louise and I sat and just spoke, about our pregnancies, things to do with kids. I loved talking about these things with Louise. It was something majorly affecting our lives and something we had in common!

When Alfie got back we opened up our food and began to eat. I had a lovely meal and much prefer to get takeaway than going into a restaurant. When I leave the house I need to wear something nice but when you get a takeaway you can sit in your comfy clothes and have just as nice of a meal but in your own home.

Alfie's POV

We were finished our meals and Zoe was siting in her comfy seat. I was tidying away the dishes and Louise and Zoe were getting a film ready to watch. I put the dishes in the sink and filled it with soapy water, I washed the dishes and left them out to dry. I put the takeaway containers into the bin and then went through to the living room. Louise and Zoe had The Hunger Games set up to watch. I loved this film and I was really excited to watch it again. I sat down next to Zoe and she cuddled into my side like she always does when we watch TV. Louise pressed play on the DVD remote and we sat down to watch it.

We were about half an hour into the film when Zoe sat up.

"You okay little one?"

"I think I just felt the baby kick."

"What!? Are you serious!?"

Louise paused the film and I sat up putting my hands on her bump. I didn't feel anything but I suppose if it was her first time feeling the baby move that it would of been quite a small movement. I couldn't believe that she had felt the baby move, this was so amazing. Such an amazing part of our journey.

"I just felt my baby kick!"

"I can't believe it little one! Next time you feel it, let me know. It would be amazing if I could feel too!"

"Course babe!"

"Congratulations chummy!!"

Zoe had a silent tear run down her cheek. I guessed it was of happiness as I don't understand why she would be sad. We didn't really sit down and finish the film, we just kind of sat there and talked about it. It was so amazing and I was so excited. It's so amazing to know that our little girl is now moving and everything. Wow. I was so excited to become a dad now!
