"ashton might not know what he wants but i got it all planned out" lucy smirks" i cant wait to see it then im sure ill love it" i tell her. Once carmen wakes up lucy takes all the kids outside and im doing the dishes with help from mum. "i swear your love has only grown over the years" mum smiles.

"im so proud of all youve accomplished ashton you honestly couldent have turned out better" she adds. "aww shucks thanks mum its all to you im only so good because you raised me good" i hug her tight"sometimes i wish you were still around they miss you a lot" she sighs. "you should call up the others get them here id love to see them too" mum tells me.

Luke and i laugh"lucas i always forget how tall you are" mum shakes her head"hey anne how are you" he asks"fine. Whats been up with you" "just eagerly awaiting the birth of my child i cant believe its so soon now" luke smiles we sit down in the living room. were soon joined by lucy and the others laurens holding carmen lucy sits on my lap and harry beside us. Cates sit on lukes lap i wrap my arms around lucy and pull her closer.

"alright luke favorite tour memory cates i wanna know yours too" mum asks them. "south america it was so pretty there" cates replies excited"yeah thats mine too" luke mumbles. "cates youve been with luke for a long time right" lauren randomly asks"yeah 5 years why" she says confused."how old were you when you started dating" "we were 15 why" cates answers"ha ash my soulmate could be in high school. Thats why i should date at this age" lauren says we all burst out laughing" my advice be careful we got extrodinary lucky we found each other so young" cates tells her.

"heres my imput you can wait til after you graduate to start dateing cause thats when the real likelyhood of meeting a decent human is" lucy says. "is that what you did aww i never knew that" lauren coos"actually" lucy starts i cover her mouth"yes lucy and i were each others first reletionship. More motivation to wait and not date" i say once the others arrive it becomes a get together harry goes crazy over baxter and honey. "mum why cant i have a dog" he whines"you can when you stop complaining about wanting a dog" she sasses"ugh so unfair".

"mummy" carmen gets down and runs to lucy"hey sweetie how are you" lucy asks. I smile"i wobe mummy" she say"aww i love you too" lucy kisses her head this could bring tears to my eyes. "i dont understand why youre always complaining about her loving ash more and thier reletionship. Its pretty fucking obvious she loves you too" mikey says blunt"no swearing" i scold i know lucys upset about what mikey said because lucy hates it when our problems get broadcasted to her those are personal.

plus my families here lucy dosent wanna give my mum any reason for her not to be good enough for me. you see lucy is still quite insecure on the inside"problems you guys are having problems" mum says concerned. "its more like one reoccuring problem" michael replies we all glare at him"michael stop" angel hits him"shit i went too far dident i im really sorry" mikey tells us. Everythings so awkward now i start laughing which causes everyone else too bless my contagious giggle also honey and baxter started being all cute.

lucy passes carmen to my mum and takes out her phone not a minute later mine goes off.

"whats got you smiling lucy" sadie asks"nothing just read something really sweet" she replies. "sadie what are you plans after graduation" mum asks"i have a lot of offers at firms and i will accept one but im gonna finish the tour with cal first" sadie tells her. "so wonderful to hear that" mum smiles big at her lucy sighs "ashtonnnnn im starving whens dinner can we get pizza" mikey shouts. "we had pizza for lunch so no" i respond"can we get chinese then or taco bell" he suggests. "we should go out all of us and our parents it can be a giant reunion" luke eyes light up with joy.

michael bursts out in laughter followed by almost everyone else"fine then dont like my idea." luke mumbles "hey i actually agree with luke i think we should celebrate with everybody' i comment. Luke sends me an appriciative smile even today i always look out for him"im almost 9 months pregnant i wannna eat out with everyone. Because im pregnant i get to choose" cates demands"well im not gonna argue with that everybody to thier cars" michael exclaims.
