It Gets Better// Perrie Edwards

Sleepover (14)

3 weeks later

"Pez, you need to start getting ready the car's coming in an hour" Jade called up to me.

"Okay!" I replied, pausing the TV, sitting up slowly, letting the covers fall to my lap. I stood up and rummaged through my draws for something to wear to 'our last day of break' meal Jesy, Jade, Leigh and I were having. I pulled out a pair of jeggings, which I had been living in since I found out about baby, a white vest and a flowy floral top to go over it. I pulled it on, not pausing to look at my appearance in the mirror until I was done, because if I was honest with you I currently hated the look of my undressed body. 

Standing sideways in the mirror, I placed my hand on my stomach, so that my top was flat and turned to the side in an attempt to see if I could see a bump. My eyes locked on my stomach and could swear I could see one.

 After a second of staring, I called for some assistance, "Jade"

"Yeah" she replied, poking her head around the door.

"Can you see my bump or am I just imagining it." I asked still looking into the mirror.

"Hmmm look at me." Jade said. I turned towards her and she looked at my body "turn to the side" she instructed, I did as she said, pushing my top down so it was as flat as I could get it. "You might have one but then again it could just be the top babes, you deffo can't see it with the top down though" she said after a minute of studying my body, in which I began to get more and more uncomfortable.

"Oh I really thought I had one." I said a little disgruntled.

"You'll have one eventually babes, anyway we best get going the car 'll be here soon."

"Ok" I said as I walked out and towards the front door. 

*****************

It's now 8 o'clock and the girls and I are sat in the living room, our stomachs full of the delicious meal we had devoured about an hour earlier. Jesy and I on one couch and Jade and Leigh on the other. I was laying with my head in Jesy's lap, my hair sprawled out and my hands drawing invisible circles and hearts on my uncovered stomach. It was uncovered because my pants were too tight and Leigh had been rubbing some oil on it to stop any stretch marks in the future, I thought it was useless but I allowed her to do it anyway. Jesy was currently absent-mindedly running her hands through my hair, releasing some tension in my scalp that had been plaguing me all day, as she focused on the film that was playing on the TV. I turned my head slightly and looked over at Jade and Leigh. Leigh's head was on Jade's shoulder and both of their eyes were glued to the TV, although Jade would lance down every so often, waiting for a text off Jed. 

I sighed contently, I had missed our nights in. I looked at the tv and tried to focus on the movie but my mind drifted elsewhere to the growing life form inside of me, no bigger than a grape but already loved beyond compare.

Jesy POV
As the film finished I looked down and to my surprise I was greeted by a sleeping Pez, her hands on her fairly flat tummy. 

I awed softly and whispered "girls look who's fast asleep" drawing their attention to the sleeping beauty in my lap.

"Bless her, she's constantly tired isn't she?" Leigh whispered. I nodded, pulling my phone out so I could snap a picture "come on guys get in this picture, I think we'll put sleeping beauty on twitter." I turned the front facing camera on and snapped a photo of all of us posing around the sleeping Perrie. I posted it to instagram and twitter captioning it 'looks like someone couldn't make it through movie night xxthe girls minus Pez xx #girlsnight #movienight #sleepypez #sleepingbeauty. 

After I had finished I put my phone down and scooped Perrie up and carried her to bed. Gently I placed her down on the mattress and pulled the cover over her. Leaning down I kissed her forehead before leaving the room. I shut the door and was surprised to see Jade stood there with a glass of water and some crackers. "She'll need them if she wakes up because she'll immediately feel sick" she informed my questioning look before going in and placing them on the bedside table. She crept out and pulled the door shut, smiling at me as we walked through to the living room. We sat down and started watching another movie. An hour in Jade stood up announcing that she was going to bed reminding us a car was to come at 5:30 to pick us up and also that the guest room was all ready for us when we wished. We bid her goodnight and not long after went to our bed as well.
