Married By Accident - Sequel

Chapter 14

A WEEK LATER

"Happy Birthday babe" I'm woken up by Daniel.

"Hmm, thanks" I say almost still asleep.

"My girl, 21 years old" He says and kisses my neck.

"Yeah, I'm 21" I say and then realise it is actually my 21st birthday, I jolt up to sit up. "I'm 21 today" I say which makes Daniel laugh.

"Easy babe" He says.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"It's like 11am" He says.

"Wait what?! 11am?! I never sleep in that late, what about Sebastian?" I ask.

"He's fine, he's absolutely fine, he's playing in his cot, I thought I'd let you sleep in, I've changed and fed him so he's all good" He says.

"Wow, I should have birthdays more often" I say.

"Alex, Adam, Lee, everyone is coming over for a little party, alcohol free because of the baby, even though nobody knows yet" Daniel says.

"I said we can announce it when I'm at least 12 weeks, I'm barely a month yet" I say.

"That's still 2 months to stay quiet" He says.

"You can do it, just I dunno, forget that I'm pregnant" I suggest.

"I could never forget you're pregnant, that would be like forgetting when my own birthday is" He says.

"Ok then" I say.

"Anyway, pamper yourself up, people are coming for lunchtime" He says and kisses me, he then picks up Sebastian out of the cot and leaves the room. I get up and have a nice shower, I pick out some nice clothes and put them on, I go downstairs and get something to eat, Daniel puts out some snacks and drinks for everyone and an hour later everyone is here. I open all of my presents mum and Matt, and his kids got me a necklace that had a strip of metal with Sebastians date of birth engraved on it. Alex gave me money in a card, as did Adam and Lee together, Daniel give me a 'Worlds Best Wife' t-shirt, and Sebastian give me a photo book with pictures of him from birth for his first 6 months and pictures of us all as a family. The presents have me in tears with happiness.

"Thanks everyone for these gifts, you really didn't have to do all of this, I love you all" I say as I dry my tears.

"Aww babe" Daniel says as he hugs me. We spend the next few hours talking and laughing, we eat some snacks and drink some drinks, everyone plays with Sebastian while they're here. I look at the photo book, it's full of photos of Sebastian as a baby, the first 6 months of his life, him sleeping, feeding from his bottle, first smile, clapping, playing, watching TV, in the car, and pictures of us at the park and even here at home. Next year I could be getting another photo book of our second child's first months. What if I can't handle two kids, Daniel works full time and I don't work because I'm a parent all day, Sebastian will only just be a year old, what if I can't handle two babies?

"Err, can you excuse me, I've just got to go upstairs for something" I say, I need a minute on my own to think about this, I get up and go upstairs and sit on the bed. I don't like abortions and ever since I miscarried Alex, I didn't think twice when I was pregnant with Sebastian, I was over the moon, unlike with Alex when the first thing I said was I'd get an abortion. But what if this baby is too much for me?

"Hey sweet, are you ok?" Daniel asks from the doorway as he opens the door, tears start sliding down my faces, he immediately shuts the door and sits next the me and hugs me. "What's wrong? Is it the baby?" He asks. I nod yes. "Is the baby ok?" He asks concerned.
