Josilyn POV
:-:-:-:
"Thank you, thank you," I continue to say to everyone as they file out the door. Louis's arms hung over my shoulders, his hands folded in front of me as he thanked everyone for making an appearance to my baby shower he'd planned again.
"Bye, bye." Brianna waved to every person leaving out of the house, from her position stood at the side of my legs, clutching it. I chuckle and rub her head.
"Thanks so much for coming." I repeat for the tenth time today as everyone continues to congratulate me while leaving. Louis couldn't wipe the smile off his face as my happiness practically radiated off my glowing cheeks.
We never got close enough to Brianna's due date to ever even consider having a baby shower. But it's as if this is our second chance, everything is going perfectly this time.
"Do you think he'll like the hat?" Becca asks me and I smile.
"I'm positive Carter will love the hat." I tell her and Louis pulls me closer to him.
"If it's chilly, you'll think of my hat to put on him first? With the matching socks?"
"Sure Becc–"
"Woah woah woah!" El interrupts, standing from the couch. "What about my hat? You liked my hat, right?"
I twisted around, "Well I- yeah. I loved the hats you bought El."
"Then why can't he wear my hat instead, what does her hat have that mine doesn't?" She crosses her arms.
My eyebrows furrow.
It seemed the room went silent then as everyone waited for my response. But that didn't last long as Louis's loud laughter cracked the silence.
"Are you serious?" He asked.
"Eleanor I asked first. Don't be jealous." Becca spoke amused.
"I'm not, I'm just.. just…"
I looked at her expectantly, "You're what?"
"I don't know.." she trails off, fiddling with her fingers with a frown.
I smile and open my mouth to say something but Louis beats me to it, "El we'll use your car seat for when we take them home. Don't be sad."
"Really?" She exclaims in excitement and I laugh. "In your face, Becca!"
Becca laughs and hugs her, "Bye El." She gives me a hug and us all one last wave, before walking off toward her car where her boyfriend had been waiting.
"Wait, but what about my car seat?" Emily frowns and I turn around.
"Em they can use yours too. Twins, remember?" Lexi tells her.
Realization sets in her features, "Right, right!" She sighs of relief.
Soon all of the guests were emptied out of the house, with the exception of the girls and our flown in family. I collapsed back onto the couch, exhaling happily, just as Louis closed the door.
A bunch of heads snapped in my direction and I winced, looking around confused, "What? What'd I-"
"Careful honey!" Mom says with a deep frown.
"Did you hit something?" Dad questions quickly.
"Is your back okay?" Johannah asks.
"How many times have I told you don't do that, you'll hurt yourself!" Louis scolds.
"I'm fine!" I throw my hands up, "I'm okay, I swear." I assure them all hastily and a few shoulders relax.
"Just be careful." Dad says calmly, "You have less than two months sweetie."
