A/N: The date is now 7/7/16 *cough* Ashton's birthday *cough*

Ella-Mae's PoV

This morning, my room was full of the things I got used to seeing. The posters on the wall. The wash basket that is usually overflowing. The drawers that were more than likely going to be open. The unmade bed. The coat rack that held all of my jackets. It's all gone now. Ashton and I found a cute two bedroom flat near where our parents live. It took a while to process it, but now we own our own place. It's fairly small, but we don't need a big place. Everything from my room is packed, except the bed, the chest of drawers and the wardrobe. They came with the house, so eventually when we all move out, the next people to own the house will get a free set of furniture. Anyway, I take one last look around the bedroom, before leaving it and the house. Ashton was waiting in the car, we borrowed the car that the guys use to go to our new place, hence why Michael and Amelia are coming with us. They are going to take the car and go out somewhere.

"This is a very good birthday present don't you think." Michael says, when we get inside the flat. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom. The living room and kitchen are open plan, so there is essentially four rooms in the entire flat.

"Yeah, it's a really nice place." Amelia says, looking around the kitchen/ living room.

"Thanks, it's going to be weird not seeing you lot every day." Ashton says.

"Yeah, it's going to be weird knowing that there's empty rooms in both houses." Amelia says.

"And then there's going to be extra empty rooms, because Morgan and Luke are moving out soon too." I say.

"We have to go, but yeah. What will happen if we move out, or if Calum or Aimeeleigh move out? There's going to be one person living in a house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms." Amelia says.

"Shit. We have to go." Michael says, after looking at the time on his phone.

"Oh, have fun doing whatever you guys are doing." Ashton says.

"You two have fun unpacking." Amelia says, then they leave.

"We should do the bedroom first, so we at least have somewhere to sleep tonight." Ashton says and I nod my head in agreement. We both grab a box each and carry them into the room closest to the front door, the room next to it will be the baby's room. When it is born.

Amelia's PoV

After we leave Ella-Mae and Ashton's flat, me and Michael drive as quick as we can without breaking any laws to make it to our appointments at the hair salon. He's bleaching his hair blonde and I am going mint green. The appointment lasts about an hour, because of the bleaching and the waiting and the dying and the waiting. It's a fairly comfortable atmosphere. I have a nice chat with the lady about how there's some guy that her daughter listens to that has the same hair colour. After our hair is done fully, we meet up with Calum and Aimeeleigh in a small café.

"What are you two doing today?" Michael asks them, after we are all sat with a drink.

"I offered to look after Sarah and Joey, because it's Larisa's birthday and her and Nathan are going away overnight. Calum decided to join me, because he is a really nice person." Aimeeleigh explains.

"So, you two are essentially being parents for the night." Michael says, causing Calum to choke on the sip of coffee he was taking.

"No. We are babysitting." Calum says.

"Are you staying at Larisa and Nathan's place?" I ask.

"Yeah, it would be easier for us to pack our things and stay there then it would be the other way round." Aimeeleigh says, taking a long gulp of her coffee. She checks the time and her eyes widen in shock.

"Do you have to go?" Michael asks, Aimeeleigh nods her head, then stands up from the seat she was sat in.

"We'll see you two tomorrow probably." Calum says, following suit.

"By the way, I have our car for the rest of the day and tomorrow." Aimeeleigh says, then they walk out of the café.

"That means, Morgan and Luke can stay in one of the houses and we can stay in the other one." Michael says.

"That's really good. That means we won't have to hear them doing things." I say.

"And we'll actually be able to sleep at a reasonable time." Michael says, then we both take a sip of our drinks.

"We sound like middle-aged parents." I say, then we both burst out laughing.

Aimeeleigh's PoV

When Calum and I get to Larisa's house, Larisa tells us important things about Joey and Sarah, then they both leave. We look at the children and then at each other.

"What do you guys want to do?" I ask, bending down to get on to their level.

"Can we go get ice-cream at the park?" Sarah asks, I look up at Calum and he nods.

"Yeah, we just have to put your seats in the car, then we can go." I reply, causing Sarah to yell out in excitement and Joey to let out a loud giggle.

"I'll go do the seats, you get them ready to go to the park." Calum says and I nod.

"Come on, let's go get your coats because it is cold today." I say, picking Joey up out of his walker and grabbing Sarah's hand. She pulls me towards where their coats are hung up. I help her into her coat, then she helps me put Joey's coat on. I then put their shoes on and make sure I have money and the baby bag with things for Joey in. After I leave the house, I lock the doors and Calum takes Joey and puts him in his seat, whilst I help Sarah put her seat belt on, after she is sat on her booster seat. Calum drives us to the park, where we notice Luke and Morgan walking around the park at the scenery.

"Hi guys. Hello little people." Luke says, waving at Calum and I, then at Joey and Sarah.

"Hello." Sarah squeaks out, before running and hiding behind my leg.

"Sarah, you remember Luke right? He was at the party, before I went away." I say she just nods her head slowly.

"What are you two doing here anyway?" Morgan asks.

"We're babysitting, so we brought the children to the park, what about you two?" I ask.

"We're looking at venues for our wedding." Luke replies.

"Have you thought of the date yet?" Calum asks.

"Yeah, but you'll have to wait to find out though. We've decided we aren't telling anyone yet." Morgan says.

"Fair enough." I says, before I feel Sarah pulling my hand.

"Can we get ice-cream now?" She asks.

"We have to get going. There's another venue we have to look at, have fun." Morgan says, before they walk past us.

"C'mon, let's go get you some ice-cream. What flavour do you want?" I ask, letting Sarah drag me to the ice-cream van. I grab Calum's hand and pull him along with me. I turn my head slightly and notice Joey smiling at Calum.

Morgan's PoV

After looking at the last venue, Luke and I decide on the place near the park, because I can just imagine the whole thing in that venue. We plan our invitations out. With the venue, the date. We decided on having an Autumn wedding, so the date for our wedding will be May 28th 2017. I'm happy that Luke and I have the same vision for our wedding. We are finalising the papers for the house we bought. It's a small three bedroom house, but we don't plan on having many children, or moving for the foreseeable future. It is a nice house in a nice neighbourhood. We decided to go with an area that is halfway between my parent's house and his parent's house. We should be in the house by the end of the month. When we finish planning the invitations, we decide to go visit Ella-Mae and Ashton in their new place. We take along Ashton's birthday present and their housewarming gift. We don't stay too long, because we don't want to intrude, but we stay long enough to discuss wedding ideas. We also discuss what they are going to do for their baby's room, but they have decided they are going to wait until they find out the sex, which will be towards the end of next month. By the time Luke and I get back to the house, I'm extremely tired. We end up getting some food delivered and falling asleep watching a film.
