Life of Libby nelson

Chapter 72

It was march 15th and it was also Betsi-Anna's christening day and I was beyond excited. She was hitting the 3 month mark and was still wearing newborn sized clothing, I was loving being a mum, yeah it's tough but me and Theo get by, he wasn't her dad biologically but he was her dad by law now and he really was proving out to be the best,Lawson has never been in touch since I lost H. Anna and nick were still as amazing as the before they just never fail to amaze me.

'Do you need anything' Anna asked popping her head around my bedroom door 'oh my god Anna, yes please' I said standing up from doing my makeup 'what can I do' she asked stepping in and I stopped for a second 'wow..you look beautiful' I smiled and she blushed 'anyways...do you know you love me and your granddaughter...could you do me the honours and dress her' I asked 'of course' she said picking Betsi up from her play mat 'aw nanas princess' Anna cooed to my daughter and it made my heart smile 'she's had a bottle and it should have settled but in case not here's the bib for the dress' I said handing her everything 'right you concentrate on yourself, we good' Anna said and I smiled at her and carried on getting ready, today needed to go perfect. I'd finished getting changed and was now ready for the day, I slipped on a bracelet with a picture of Hattis hand holding my finger when she was first born hanging down on a charm and went to find Anna and Betsi. I walked into their room but only nick was there he was wearing a medium blue suit with a white shirt unbuttoned at the top and brown shoes 'there she is' he said his thick Scottish accent filling the air 'they down stairs' I asked and he nodded 'you look stunning' he said 'thanks dad' I smiled 'you'll be doing H and Betsi so proud' he said 'I can only hope...I wish Jess was here' I said 'she will be' he said placing a hand over my heart 'I know but in person, she'd be so proud of me I can feel it' I smiled to myself 'I know it never mind feel it' he giggled 'I often think of the girls too..would they be proud I mean, Jan would she be proud, my brother and siri' I asked and he nodded and pulled me in for a hug 'they'd be just as proud as me and Anna' he said and I felt comfort within his words.

'Ah my baby' I cooed as I got down stairs 'she looks so beautiful' I cried 'she is' Anna said hanging me her 'here' I said handing her my phone to take a picture 'I love her so so so much' I said kissing her forehead 'she loves you also, I love her dress' Anna told me 'Theo, this was allllll theo' I giggled 'he's got good taste' she said and I laid Betsi on the fluffy rug so I could get a cute shot of her in the dress alone 'daddy will love it' I said 'where is theo' Anna asked 'on his way' I smiled 'good are you excited' she asked 'yeah, today needs to be perfect' I said 'and it will be 'can you be so sure' I asked and she just gave a hopeful smile and the doorbell went 'that's him' I said as nick answered it on his way down 'hi pal' nick said and I saw them shake hands before Theo approached the sitting area 'wow' he smiled looking at me and I blushed, my heart thumping also he still gave me shivers 'you both look beautiful' he said kissing my cheek, I was wearing slim baby pink pants with a baby pink bandeau top and a matching long length and sleeve baby pink blazer with small white heels, my original curly hair was bone straight 'you don't look to shabby yourself' I said 'picture please' Anna said and we both laughed she was obsessed with photos but then I couldn't complain myself cause any little thing I can I take a photo of. 'Right now I'll take one of you, your rents and B' Theo said and nick and Anna came forward and huddled in the photo with me and Betsi.

I stud at the front of the church with Theo by my side and Betsi in my arms on Theo's side we had Malique and Jimmy and on my side we had Ruby, Kirsty and Jess. I'd been a bit nervous and wasn't taking much notice of everything going on around me until this point when we were stood up at the front, I felt a pang of nausea run through my body that was probably the anxiety though, I scanned around our crowd it was full of work friends and family really which is the way we only wanted it, I don't have many friends here in Liverpool and the ones from London never kept in touch with me but I wasn't fussed, on the front row we had Nikki, the girls and Greg, Anna and nick and then on the opposite front row we had Theo's mum and relatives. Then everyone behind were work friends and other distant family members and at the very back row I did a blink and dreamt the girls were here I gave off a small smile then put my head down but did a double take with a funny face and looked back up and I actually promise you now 3 out of 4 little mix girls were sat there with big smiles on their faces, I desperately wanted to get up and go hug them all but I couldn't just yet, they didn't look any older than the last I saw them, they never age and it made me happy because they still look like the young fresh little mix I used to be close to, jades little boy Rex was by their side and he was adorable and over one I've missed him grow up, in fact I've never met him the last time I saw them she was announcing her pregnancy 5 days before my birthday where she was just 12 weeks gone. He looked exactly  how I did imagined him to look, olive skin like jade, big eyes and a dark coloured hair. The service was just coming to an end and I was beyond excited to go over and see everyone, it was literally ages since I saw them and I just wanted a general catch up,I missed them and I knew if Jesy was alive things would be so different I'd see them at least a lot more than I do now. 'Hi hi hi' I said going over so energetically 'hi babe, look at you' Leigh said and I hugged her 'she is absolutely beautiful' jade smiled 'and Rex...so is he' I said with a smile 'he's a diva' she laughed 'well you are his mum' I winked and she shook her head with a laugh 'I can't believe she's yours' Perrie gushed and I shrugged with a smirk 'she's a babe' I said kissing Betsis cheek 'I can not believe little Libby nelson has a baby of her own' jade said 'you better believe she's real' I laughed and Perrie looked sad but then went 'awwwwwk' and hugged me so tight 'Jess would be so proud of you, we all are' she said kissing my forehead 'I'm proud of myself, I never thought I'd get through after loosing Janet then josh and siri but I did with Jess's help then when I lost Jess I thought my life was over but I got by yeah a few rough patches here and there but I did it, the twins and Theo are the best thing to happen, sorted me right out' I smiled 'yeah we are so sorry about Hatti' Leigh said and I shrugged with a smile 'it's fine' I said thinking how this should be her day too 'you coming back to the pub' I asked 'of course, we are here for a few days we booked the travelodge' jade told me as Anna approached us 'who's going in what travelodge' she asked confused 'oh the girls they booked it for a few days' I smiled at her, I was nervous I know her and Perrie weren't fond 'oh are use staying' she asked and they all nodded 'cancel, why stay in a hotel and waste money when we have 3 perfectly good spare rooms at ours' she told them and I was shocked...she was literally offering our house out to them even though her and pez hated one another 'for real' Perrie asked 'yeah for real' she smiled and I kind of let out a sigh of relief 'I'll meet use at the after do' I said walking off to catch Theo as majority of people had already gone from the church.
