Forever And Ever.

They all looked at me in shock. I had my hands on my hips. "Well?" I ask furrowing my brows. "Im nah gonna ask you again".

Noel takes a deep breath "be rational please, Jess".

Meg looks at the floor. "I'm Meg Matthews and this is my daughter Anaïs".

"Anais Gallagher, I'm guessing?" I ask.

"Yes" she mumbles. The baby starts crying again so she pulls her out of the buggy and rocks her in her arms.

"Jess, I can explain" Noel says.

"Well go on then, quickly".

"You... I thought you werent ever going to see me again. I thought we were over. This" he points to meg and their child "this wasnt planned. We were just dating. Liam will tell yer".

I roll my eyes. "Noel, I'm not pissed off that you happened to be dating another woman whilst I fucked off to Margate and had a whole other life. I'm pissed off at the fact that we have been back together for two and a half months now and you hadnt told me you have a secret daughter" I reply. There was no point in shouting.

"Hang on, you and Noel are back together?" Meg asks.

"I'd better go and make teas" peggy stands up. "Who wants one". We all nod. "Noel and Jess I know how yous like yours. Meg?".

"Milk, Two Sugars, please Mrs. Gallagher" Meg replies and Peggy leaves the room.

"Yes, Noel and I are back together" I reply "we are married after all".

"Oh. I hadnt been informed. I wondered why he was ignoring my calls. I guess we are over then eh" she says to noel.

"I SPLIT UP WITH YER SEVEN MONTHS AGO YOU PSYCHO BITCH" he shouts. Causing the baby to cry again. "You just wouldnt accept it".

"Look your relationship issues are none of my business, I wasnt there" I say as Meg cant get the baby to stop crying. "Thats an awful racket. May I?"  I ask.

She looks at me confused, "is that really a wi-" she starts.

"- she's only a baby, shes got nothing to do with this. Im hardly going kill her am I? I just want to soothe her" I reply. Meg aquiesces and hands the child over to me. She looked exactly like Eliza when she was a baby except she had blonde hair like her mother.
"Shes beautiful" I smile, rocking her. She seemed to take an instant liking to me. I had forgotten how sweet they are at that age. Uncorrupted by the world.

"Thank you" meg replies for her sheepishly.

"So what are we goin' to do then?" I ask. We obviously needed a solution to this situation.

"I think one more person deserves an explanation" Peggy says from the doorway. She is holding a very confused looking Eliza's hand.
------------

The party was in full swing.
Although I hated living in this big house alone most of the time. I quite liked it when it was full of people.
"My God, yer look like a fuckin' aubergine" Liam jokes about my dress, making it sound like a compliment.

"Shut up, Gallagher" I reply with a cheeky smile "you got any stuff?".

"Oh baby you know I do"he tries to flirt although he sounded more like a shit Austin Powers, even though that film hadnt been released yet. I thought Liam would have been more laid back considering I had just got back home from living with peggy but he wasnt.
I followed him into the downstairs bathroom and he did a line. Then he put one out for me.
I stared at it.
I couldnt do it. What about the baby?

"I can't do it. Li" I reply.

"What? Why cant yer?" He asks.

"Because im pregnant" I mutter.

"What? How far?" He asks, shocked.

"Three months and its definitely Noels".

"Well congratulations I guess" he replies and does my line aswell. Then he takes my chin in his hand lightly and kisses me. I kiss him back weakly.
Then someone knocks on the door.

"Hello? Anyone in there?" I knew that voice. It sounded like Bowie.

"Fuck. Thats Bowie. Hes gonna think you were boning me" I reply.

"I was planning to".

"Shut up" I hiss. "SORRY IM REALLY BUSY USE THE UPSTAIRS TOILET" I shout to Bowie.

"I dont know where it is" he lies, knowing my voice.

"Yes you do" I call. He leaves and i straighten my dress, pulling the toilet door open "i'll deal with you later".
Thats when I bumped into Lyla on the way to the livingroom and you know what happens from there I hope. (Ref to chapter 26 and 27 of BTTB, If you have forgotten).
---------------------

I look at my daughter and at the baby then kneel down with the baby still in my arms. "Come over, Liza, Its ok" I smile. Meg looks anxious. I know we just met but she has to trust me. Yes I was angry at Noel but she in theory hadnt done anything wrong. How was she to know I would waltz back into his life again. Eliza walks over to me. I show her the now sleeping baby. "Liza, this is your half sister, Anaïs" I smile "be very quiet she's sleeping".

"I have a half sister?" She asks as quietly as she can for a four year old.

"You do now" I reply.

"Cool" she says "can I hold her?".

"No" Noel and I both say at the same time "you're too young".

"Ok" she says then turns to peggy "nanny, can you get me some cake?".

"Cake? Is that wise dear?" Peggy looks at me. I just nod. I couldnt think of a reason why not.

"Eat it in the kitchen please" I smile "daddy doesn't need chocolate on his sofa". She follows peggy and shuts the door behind her.

"So" Noel says.

"Well Noel. You cant ignore your daughter's existence" I say "look at her, isnt she sweet. I miss them at this age". I like to think I was being adult about this situation and I certainly not going to argue with him infront of Meg.

"So what can we do then?" Meg asks.

"Well, Meg. You arent taking us to court and neither are you thats for sure" Noel replies in his 'you cant tell me what to do I'm Noel Gallagher' kinda way.

"How about we have her every now and then when Noel isnt on tour" I ask.

"When does your tour start?" She asks.

"next week, its also when Jess and I go public again and we cant have you interferin', Meghan" he replies.

"You're a lucky boy you know that Noel Gallagher, a very lucky boy" she stands up "give me my child, I'm leaving". I pass her the baby and she places her in the pram softly. Then she storms towards the front door and opens it. "Tell your 'husband' I will be in touch and If he doesn't co-operate, then I will be going to the press" she spits and shuts the door.

I walk back through into the livingroom.
"What the fuck?" I ask calmly.

"I was going to tell you, honest" he says.

"I'm going to pretend like this never happened" I reply and sit down. Peggy and eliza come in. Peggy passes us our teas and runs to get hers.

"I never liked her" she says as she sits down.
Why had peggy not mentioned her to me before?.
----------

A/N: see I told you I was excited to write the next chapter lol.
Ive been getting really nostalgic recently and it kinda sucks. I heard a song that reminded me of something that happened 2 years ago almost and I really dont feel like it was that long ago. Then I started crying because I didnt realise how good I had it back then IDK. I'm over it now tho.
Anyway.
See y'all soon.
