When Love Takes Over. (Chapters 9 - 20 in Development!)

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Emily opened her eyes to a bright and sunny morning. She turned over to look at the clock on the bedside table. 8:00. It was certainly nice and early for a day like today.

She smiled as she clearly thought about her special day. Today was her birthday and she couldn't be more happier! She wanted to wake up Jamie but as she touched the right side of the bed she realised that he wasn't there. She sighed but then smiled to herself as she got out of bed.

She stretched as she looked around the bedroom, she knew this was going to be a really good birthday. She quickly put her slippers on and proceeded to downstairs. She looked around and still there was no fiancé.

She flipped her hair back as she strolled into the kitchen and there he was, at the end of the kitchen table sitting there with a massive grin on his face! He crept up and wrapped his arms around her, he loved to do this to her the most "happy birthday wife to be" he said, kindly as he planted a kiss on her forehead. She smiled widely "thank you husband to be" she giggled as she sat on his knee kissing him firmly. She enjoyed every second 'he's such a good kisser!' she thought. After a few moments he ushered her off his knee and smiled at her as he slowly got out a small box wrapped with paper. Emily gazed at him "thank you" she said as she unwrapped the gift and opened the box. It was a pair of diamond earrings! The biggest earrings that she had ever seen!

Jamie stood up and held her close, looking deep in her eyes "there's more presents coming" he explained as he stroked her cheek. Emily literally melted "the earrings are enough honestly" she replied, moving in for a kiss, he rested his forehead instead hers, feeling every breath "I'm spoiling you" he said. She kissed him briefly and moved away "really?" She laughed. Emily felt like the luckiest girl in the world. He fixed a gaze on her "of course.... I'm going to make sure that you have a great birthday, it's the last one before we are married" he explained, feeling nothing but happiness. Emily smiled, she couldn't believe how amazing her man was. She couldn't wait for the party today, there was already a dress that she had in mind and she knew that the earrings would go so well with them.

Ella was a bag of nerves as she lay on the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling as she took every second in. Today was the day that she was going to meet her baby, it would definitely feel very real for her. She tried to block out her worries and concreate on her baby. She felt so excited to finally have a child. She knew she would love he or she no matter what. But the question was, would her and Jared be good parents?

A few minutes later as she was daydreaming, a nurse came in and started setting the ultrasound machine up. Ella was seriously hoping that Jared would turn up. It was the first week of tour and he did a show in New York the night before. It was a busy time for the band and she was always worried about how Jared was coping with it all.

The nurse smiled at her, she smiled back "Is it your first baby?" She asked, trying to be friendly. Ella nodded as put her hands on her bump, she felt so much love already. She lay her head back down as she felt someone grab her hands, she looked up, knowing full well who it was. A big smile formed on her face she saw Jared next to her. He looked at her "I'm not too late am I?" He asked quietly as he stroked her hand. Ella shook her head as she felt tears in her eyes "what if somethings wrong?" She wandered, looking at the floor. The nurse glanced over to her "don't think like that, you're going to be fine" she reassured as she rolled up Ella's shirt slowly and gently put some cool gel on her stomach. She looked at her "are you ready?" She asked. Ella nodded, taking a deep breath.

After a few minutes a clear picture was finally up on the screen. The nurse smiled "that's your baby" she said, looking at the screen.

They both stared at the screen, Ella started to get emotional. She was stopping herself from crying. Jared held her hand firmly. The nurse smiled at them "I know it's a lot to take in... do you want to know the gender?" She asked calmly. They both nodded, still shellshocked over the fact it was a real baby.
