Your Not Who I Thought You Was (A Conor Maynard Fan Fic)

Chapter 23

-4 DAYS LATER-

EMILYS POV

I sigh as I knock on the front door of my childhood house

Today I had come home to Brighton, so my mum could help me plan Penelope's party

Since Conor isn't coming back to help me anymore, I need someone to help me out

The boys have tried to help me plan the party but non of them have ideas, that I am overly fond of

Even Mikey didn't help me that much with the ideas, but bouncing ideas off Mikey is like bouncing them off a brick wall

So I spoke to my mum and she said that, she has no problem helping me plan it

I smile as the front door opens to revel my mum on the other side of it

"Hi darling, come in" she says with a soft smile on her face, as she steps out of the way of the door

"Hi mum, how are you?" I question as I walk through the door

"I'm good, let's go through to the living room, I'll make you some tea" she suggests as she guides me towards the living room, with a sweep of her hand

I follow the direction of her hand gesture and I open the door before I walk into the living room, to see Jack and Conor's mum, Helen sat on one of our sofas

"Oh hi Helen" I greet her with a smile

I walk over to her and pull her into a hug

"Hi hunny, it's nice to see you, how is everything?" She questions as we pull away from the hug

I shrug as I walk to the sofa, that is against the wall back wall of the room

"Everything is good, I am just worried because it's Penelope's first birthday next week and Conor was meant to be coming home to help me plan it" I explain to her

"But he extended his trip" Helen sighs out before she take a sip of her tea

I nod

"So now I have no plans and nothing to do for her birthday" I admit

My mum walks into the room with two mugs of tea in her hand

She hands one to me before she goes and sits on the other end, of the same sofa that Helen is sat on

"Why don't you take her out?" My mum asks

I shrug once more

"I mean I would but I really wanted her first birthday to be with family and stuff but I can't find anywhere to have it" I explain

"Em, I would love to have it here but your dad is currently decorating and the conservatory is being build as well, there just isn't space" my mum tells me

"You can always have it at our house, we could invite your family and friends and then our friends and family, with Conor being Penelope's dad and we could have a big family party" Helen suggests

My eyes widen

"Really? You would do that for me?" I question

She nods with a smile on her face

"Of course, we can have a big barbecue in the garden, we can hire a bouncy castle and everything, Gary has been owning me a barbecue for ages now" she says with a chuckle

I put my cup down before I go over to Helen and pull her into another hug

"Thank you Helen, I really appreciate it" I mumble to her
