Carli's POV
Will this child ever just come out? I'm three days overdue and I'm going crazy. My back hurts and I've well gone past the point where I can't see my feet anymore. Sleeping is just painful nowadays and Becky isn't helping at all.

I know what's happening to Em isn't ideal at the moment but Becky has a child on the way. One that's due any minute now. Yet where is she? At the hospital, again. Christie, Abby and Shannon, who both flew in earlier, are with me in case I do go into labour. Nice to know my fiancée doesn't actually care. I slowly stood up and groaned.

Ali's POV
Becky has been sitting on the chair staring at Em for nearly three hours without even the slightest movement except for when we acknowledge her.

"Okay, Broon, this is getting out of hand. Go be with your fiancée. Emily wouldn't want this. You sitting here while your fiancée is only hours away from giving birth to your child. Go be with her."

She slowly nodded her head and stood up. I waited by the door for her and she walked over to me and hugged me.

"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Knocking sense into me. I've got a family to look out for, now more than ever."

Becky's POV
Once the door opened one of those wind chimes things shook. The old lady at the desk looked up from her book and over her glasses and chuckled. She took the off and they hung around her neck. I walked over to her and smiled.

"What can I do for you dear?"
"I was looking to buy flowers for my fiancée."
"Ah an apology bouquet is it?"
"That obvious?"
"Yes m'dear. Now what kind does she like?"
"Stargazer."
"I know just the ones. I'll be right back."

She hurriedly walked to the back of the shop. I chuckled and leaned against the counter. She had multiple pictures hanging behind her desk and curiosity got the better of me and I leaned forward and looked at them. I smiled as I looked at all of them.

"Now my dear."
"Thank you very much. How much will that be?"
"On the house."
"I can't possibly accept that Mrs?"
"Williams. Please dear. I only live to see young people like you still believing in love."

I pulled out my purse and took out two fifty dollar bills. I put them in her hand and closed them over it.

"Think of it as a thank you. If not from me then my fiancée. You're going to save my relationship in more ways than just a bouquet of flowers. So thank you."

She smiled and silently thanked me. I nodded to her and walked out of the shop. I set the flowers on the front seat and started the car. I drove to the closest sweet shop and parked the car and went in and bought all of her favourite sweets and drove home. I pulled into the garage and turned off the engine and grabbed the sweets and flowers and got out. I closed the garage door and locked the car. I walked up the steps to the kitchen and walked in.

I set the keys on the kitchen counter along with the flowers and sweets. I took off my jacket and set it on the back of the chair and picked up the flowers and sweets again. I walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bedroom and saw the door slightly open. I peeked in and saw Carli asleep on the bed and I smiled. I walked over to her side and bent down. I shook her slightly and she groaned and rubbed her eyes.
