-Jess’s point of view-
It had been about 4months since we were all at Ashleys. Since then we had all got a lot closer. I went into school everyday and surprisingly I was always on time. I also managed to get myself a weekend job. I didn’t work all day just 11-5 both days. Most the time I’d come home and the boys had just finished doing a video and they were waiting for Luke to edit it. Then we’d all go into the kitchen and just eat some pizza. I’d been to the hospital for more scans, everyone insisted to come with me. They were just as excited as me and Beau. Beau came in with me. Everything was fine. My bump was visible by now. When the school found out they weren’t too happy about the whole situation but me, Beau and Gina reassured them I wouldn’t leave school to go the hospital during the school day.
Today we got to tell whether the baby was a boy or a girl. The scan was at 4, Beau got to leave work early but he met us there. Gina was at work so we all got the bus. As I said everyone was extremely excited. Seriously, they were the ones telling me to hurry up, cheek of them. Petula met us after school so she could get the same bus as us. They were all arguing over whether it was a boy or girl. Luke, Ashley and Gabby were sure it would be a boy whereas James, Skip, Jai and Petula were determined it was a girl. Beau and I didn’t want to guess, either way we wouldn’t mind although secretly I was hoping for a little boy.
When we got to the hospital Beau met us at the reception. We were waiting about 15minutes before being called in. I laid down while Beau held my hand. The doctor put the jelly on my stomach, I didn’t really know what it was called but it reminded me of jelly. It was so cold.
‘Everything is healthy with the baby. Would you like to know the sex?’ The doctor smiled at us.
‘OMG yes please.’ We both smiled
‘You’re having a little boy. Here is the pictures from your scan’ He said as he handed them over. ‘I’ll just leave, you can go when you’re ready’ and he left.
I began to cry. I was so happy. We were having a little boy.
‘Why are you crying babe? I know you secretly wanted a boy’ Beau hugged me as I got up.
‘I’m just so happy, lets go tell the others.’
We walked over to the others. I was still had tears coming down my face. They all got up and came over to us.
‘Is everything ok?’ Gabby looked worried. They all did.
‘Yeah, everythings fine we are having a little boy’ I smiled wiping away my tears.
‘Yes!’ I heard Luke, Ashley and Gabby cheer.
‘Why were you crying then?’ James hugged me.
‘I’m just so happy’
‘Well I think it’s a good time to celebrate.’ Petula spoke up.
‘Yeah who’s up for dinner and then the arcade?’ Beau asked around
Everyone agreed. We decided to go home and get out our uniform first and that we’d meet at 6 by the bus stop. It didn’t take us long to get home. Luke and Jai were arguing over who was going to be the best Uncle. Me and Beau just laughed. I got changed into jeans and a top that only just covered my bump. Beau came in and kissed my bump and then me. He was cute like that. I got my bag and put my scans in there. I wanted to keep them with me. Jai and Luke were taking awhile. We had to be at the bus stop in 15minutes. It was usually 5minute walk but it took me a little longer now.
‘Boys are you ready?’
‘Yeah’ they both said racing down the stairs. When we got to the bus stop everyone was there. We decided girls would sit one side of the bus and boys the other. Same happened when we got to the restaurant. Boys sat opposite us girls. It was really cute. Our waiter come over and asked us what we wanted. I was last to order.
‘I’ll have the stake and some pickels, please’
The waiter went away. Everyone stared at me.
‘That’s gross’ Jai said whilst pretending to be sick.
‘I didn’t think you liked pickels’ Beau looked confused.
‘I don’t usually, I’ve just had a sudden craving for them.’
They all laughed at me. Our food had come and we all dug in. We were just about to leave to go to the arcade next door when I saw my parents. I hoped they hadn’t seen me. Since they kicked me out they had tried calling me and coming to see me. I was having none of it. Why should I? They kicked me out as soon as they found out I was pregnant and said I’d be a bad Mum. It really hurt. Unfortunately, they saw me. I held Beaus hand.
‘Jess, just come talk to us for 5minutes. Please darling.’ They looked kind of sad.
