Life We Share - Big Time Logessie

Chapter 3 Here's To Us... (Logan's P.O.V.)

I'm not sure what to think about it all.

Nessie's not well, she threw up out of the blue, I'm concerned.

I don't know what's going on, I can't put my finger on it right now. One thing I know is I gotta keep an eye on Nessie. Believe it or not, but she's just as stubborn as I am. She doesn't want to cancel our New Year's Eve's party tonight, although I think she'd better stay in bed as I suspect she's sick.

Everything goes surprisingly smoothly, my wife looks as if she is fine, perfectly fine even.

Of course,  I do my best to help her with the preparation.

We have a good time with Carlos, Alexa, Mike, Makenzie, Kendall, Dustin, Dinah and James. Our night is full of fun, card games, laugh and karaoke.

There are just 30 mins left of this year when Nessie exits the living room. She's just going to the bathroom, or so she tells me before coaxing me into entertaining our guests. How am I supposed to entertain people when my wife is probably sick? I knew this party was a pretty risky idea... However, I try to do my best, pretending everything is perfectly A-okay.

Nessie walks back in just in time for the last song before today's big countdown.

We all sing.

I can tell something's bothering Nessie.

Everyone stands up and moves to the table on which the bottles of champagne are set, along wit glasses. Nessie asked me to get one bottle of the alcohol-free champagne as she didn't feel like drinking alcohol. I decided to stay sober too. I'll give our guests a lift after the party.

Mike starts the big final countdown.

"10."

Nessie approaches me.

"9."

"I gotta tell you something important," she says softly.

"8."

"What is it?" I ask her.

"7."

She takes my hand in hers.

"6."

I take Nessie in my arms.

"5."

"What is it, Sweetheart? Tell me," I whisper softly.

"4."

Nessie lets out a small sigh.

"3."

She looks me in the eyes.

"2."

"I just did a pregnancy test. We are gonna have a baby," she tells me.

"1."

"We are pregnant!" I shout, my smile is probably bigger than ever.

I pick Nessie up and spin around like crazy as the song begins to play.

Everyone cheers loudly.

I put Nessie down, then lean in for a sweet, passionate kiss.

James hands us our glasses of alcohol-free orange champagne.

"Here's to the brand new year!" I say cheerfully.

"Here's to you, our wonderful friends!" Nessie adds happily.

"Here's to you, Nessie and Logan, and to your very first child!" James adds, smiling.

I turn to my darling wife.

"Here's to us... Future super parents," I whisper quietly. "It's the best thing to happen to us now."

"I'm happy you think so, Logie," she whispers back.

"I can't wait to hug our little sweet baby," I say, my hand sliding from Nessie's arm to her soft stomach.

Nessie's hand meets mine right there.

A flash goes on in front of us suddenly.

"James, seriously, can't we have a minute to ourselves?" I point out. "Do you really have to take all those pics? You're like Presley!"

"You two will at least have something to show your children in the future, dude!" James says, still taking pictures of Nessie and me.

We can't help but go with it, we've no other choice now.
