It's A Girl (Ed Sheeran) [EDITING]

Chapter 16

My position right now? Setting up the last few items at Sarah and Luke's baby shower and gender release party. Sarah was setting up the back yard nicely but when she barged in the back door and ran to the nearest bathroom to vomit, I told her to lay down and rest while I finish the decorations.

I tied one end of the last streamer on to a low branch that I could reach on the tree and tied the other one around the pole on the column that was by the back door. I stepped back to admire the work I had done, a long with Sarah's work. I nodded my head, approving of how everything looked. The dishes filled with various sweets were placed on blue table cloth that had little pink bows on it. The cups and drinks were on the same table as the sweets, while the presents had a table of its own. There was a paper to sign in at for memories of who went and a place to write what you think Sarah and Luke were going to be blessed with; a girl or boy. There are games to play and music was playing trough speakers. Everything was absolutely beautiful.

I walked in through the back door and turned down a little hallway opening up to the kitchen. Sarah was plopped down on the chair, eating a jar of plain Nutella. It reminded me of the times when were both little and we'd beg our mom to buy us a jar of Nutella every time we were at the grocery store, then we would come home and share it while watching out favorite television shows and playing with Lincoln Logs and Legos. I was never the one to play with barbies and baby dolls so Sarah played games that regular little girls wouldn't play.

"Everything's done and it looks great." I said to everyone standing around the kitchen.

"Thanks so much, you are the best sister ever." Sarah said to me, giving me a side hug.

"It's no problem, that's what big sisters are for." I smiled.

"I love you both so much." my mom said, hugging Sarah and I at the same time. Honestly, I had almost forgotten she was here she was so quiet.

Sarah put her hand over her bump, pushing the jar of Nutella away from her. For the first time, I actually took notice to her appearance, she was getting big. I stood beside Ed who was propped up against the counter. Luke walked over to Sarah and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"I don't like being touched." Sarah said quickly, Luke throwing his hands up in defense.

Soon after that, everyone started showing up with gifts in their hands, hugging Sarah and Luke. Our family members and some of Sarah's old friends that remembered me hugged me as well. Luke and Sarah greeted everyone as they walked in and told them to go outside through the back door. Shelby was in Ed's arms as the three of us walked outside to the backyard. Everyone was saying how beautiful and well put together the backyard was. I smiled to myself and made my way over to people with gifts in their hands, telling them where to place them at.

"Hello everyone and welcome to Luke and I's baby shower plus gender release party. Thank you so much for coming. Also, I'm looking around and noticing how beautiful this all looks and it probably wouldn't if anyone other than my gorgeous, older sister, Courtney decorated it, so thank you Courty for helping me finish the yard after I got sick." Sarah announced, coming outside with Luke right by her side.

"Thank you Sarah. I had fun and I do have to admit, not being biased, it does look really good. Even the stuff you did do." I hugged her, earning a small smile.

"Everyone grab a drink, something to eat, and just talk amongst each other. There are little games over there and stuff to do. We'll release what I'm having soon then I'll open the presents from everyone." Sarah said before turning on some music and walking over to the sweets section.

"You did a really good job, it looks wonderful." Ed whispered to me after a few seconds of silence.

"Thank's." I smiled up at him.
