STEF POV:

Today was the day that both of our parents were coming for their joint garden gathering for Dana and Stewart's anniversary and my mother's birthday, but not to sound selfish but today was most importantly the announcement of our precious little monkey.

My phone rang and it was my mother:

"Hey mom? What time you coming?" I ask.

"I'll be there in an hour hunny, could Lena put together my favourite chicken salad, I'm starving"

"I'll see what she can do" I replied rolling my eyes.

"Thanks sweetie. Love you"

"Love you too mom" as much as she was a pain in the ass sometimes, I loved her to pieces and she's all I've ever had, my dad is nothing anymore, after my sexuality and marriage, it's pointless even calling him 'dad' but I'm grateful for my mother, she is a godsend.

Lena  walks into the room soon after the call with me and my mother.

"Who was that?" She asks.

"Mom, she wants to know if you can throw together a chicken salad, she will be here in an hour"

"An hour, I've not got the place sorted, and I have to make her food, we can't decorate in that short space of a time" she begun to stress.

"Don't worry, you begin the food, it'll take 15 mins, I'll start decorations now and you can join me outside after, but no heavy lifting madam" I nag, her safety is important because no longer has she got to look after herself, but my little margarita too.

"Ok"

I leave the kitchen and take the box of decorations out to the back yard, we had all sorts, balloons, confetti, signs, lights, it's going to be great.

I pulled a chair out from the table to stand on and stuck the little tea-pea lights around the roof canapé while they glow beautifully bright in the dark sky. I placed confetti, wine and cookery on the table with a beautiful white cloth and chairs. I then stapled signs saying "happy birthday" and "happy anniversary" around the garden visible to all guests which will soon be arriving. I started to pour around 50 glasses of champagne for guests while Lena begun to put the chosen playlist on after she sorted chicken salad. The garden looked beautiful, and everything was glowing. But the one thing that was glowing the most in my eyes was Lena from the other side of the garden in her beautiful red maxi dress which covered her small bump perfectly well.

"Come here beautiful" I shout as she leaves the stereo and walks over to the decking where we begin to dance until the door bell rings.

"Here's all our guests" she says as I give her a quick kiss and run for the door inviting everyone in before our parents arrive.

Around 30 guests flooded the garden silently who were family and close friends of both sides of the family. We turned the music off and told them all to remain silent for 5 minutes until both our parents arrive.

We waited near the door and fist walked in Dana and Stewart and Lena directed them straight to the living room out the way of the garden.

"Happy anniversary" both Lena and Stef say hugging them close.

"Thanks sweethearts" Stewart replies.

Everything was going according to plan until SMASH, someone outside had smashed their wine glass.

"Did you hear that?" Dana said standing up to the sofa until Lena stood rapidly shocked looking at me for desperate help.

"I'll check" I said speeding to the garden finding somebody sweeping up the glass with a dustpan and brush whilst apologising. I then helped with the glass and put it in the bin and went back to Lena Dana and Stewart. "Just a glass slipped off the draining board, it's sorted" I said as my mother soon walked in.

"HELLLOOOOO" she shouts welcoming herself very jolly as usual.

"Happy birthday mother" Stef says with wide open arms that Sharon walks into accepting the hug in the living room.

"Ive made dinner,shall we sit outside with a glass of wine?" I ask knowing that dinner outside wasn't the plan and really we had a surprise party.

We slowly all headed out to the garden and when we reached the patio door everyone jumps up and yells at the top of their voices "SURPRISE!!!!" While popping confetti and silly string as both our parents seem over joyed.

"Wow, all this for us" Sharon said shocked.

"Lena sweetie, this is beautiful" Dana says grabbing her hand and kissing it softly.

As everyone splits apart around different parts of the house and garden everyone begun to drink alcohol and dance, but Lena couldn't.

LENAS POV:

"I'm going to the mini bar, get some soda" I said to Stef rolling my eyes chuckling as she knew full well that wine was my bestfriend. I kissed her softly before heading to the bar.

"Oh hey Jenna" I say as I walk up to the bar, we hired a bar tender for the night so I asked for "orange and lemonade please" I asked as he begun to make it. He handed it to me. "Thanks"

I put a straw inside my drink and begun to slurp until I felt two heavy eyes staring deep into me. I look to my left and Jenna was still watching me. "Lena, orange and lemonade, really?" She asked. Jenna was a very close friend of ours and knew full well I'd have alcohol at every opportunity possible, so I need to find a good excuse.

"Yes, I want to be sober to hand my parents their anniversary gift, I don't want to make a fool of myself" I chuckle as luckily for me, she bought it and laughed along with me.

"So, how are things going between you and Stef?" She asked.

"Perfect. Better than I ever imagined" I replied blushing.

"I can see by your face, children next then huh?" She said laughing.

"Yes, maybe, not thought about it yet but erm...hopefully Yh" I said. I suddenly begun to feel my legs shake and my body became covered head to toe with goosebumps and my face turned pale.

"Lena are you ok? You don't look so good" she replied resting her hand on my shoulder with concern.

"Could you excuse me for a moment?" I said covering my mouth feeling as if I'm about to puke everywhere.

I walked to the bathroom not knowing Jenna was following me to make sure I was ok. I had my head buried in the toilet as I felt her pull my hair back.

"Lena, what's going on?" She asks.

"Nothing, I just think I have a bug maybe, I'll be fine. Honest" I say.

"I wasn't born yesterday Lena, no alcohol, sickness. Are you pregnant?" She ask. Wow, how could she guess? I paused for a long time thinking of anything I could say. But I couldn't lie anymore, she knew.

"You can't tell anybody yet. Promise me? It's going to be announced at this party" I say as she practically jumps with excitement.

"This is amazing hunny. I'm so going to be the fun aunt. I can't wait to see your mothers face. Congrats hunny" she says with excitement.

And although we wanted everyone to know at the same time, it felt good having Jenna be excited with us. Stef soon walks into the bathroom and sees me sat beside the toilet knowing I have been sick from the scent in the air.

"Do you still feel bad?" She asks careful what to say as she doesn't know Jenna knows.

Except I look at Jenna and we both laugh until Stef feels a little flabbergasted with confusion.

"I know. Congratulations" Jenna replied hugging Stef tight.
