The Baby Shower and Going Home

Nathan's POV:

Kayla and I woke up at about 8 a.m, about an two hours before the baby shower. Kayla and I were faced towards each other, just enjoying each others company when I started to speak,

"Do you want to shower together baby?" I asked as I moved a piece of hair from her face and stroked her cheek. She hummed then nodded,

"Ok." She said as she played with the chain on my neck. We got up and headed to the bathroom. I turned the shower on to the heat we both prefer. We both stripped and hopped in. I washed my hair while Kayla wet hers.

I ringed my hair out and stopped Kayla as she reached for her shampoo,

"Here baby I'll do it." I said. I squirted a bit I my hand and thoroughly washed her hair. After we finished everything we needed to do, I turned off the water. I wrapped a white towel around my waist and then one around Kayla. I walked out to the bedroom and dried myself off then slipping on a pair of black trousers, a white v-neck t-shirt and a pair of blue and white trainers. I dried my hair with my towel and put on my Captain America SnapBack.

Kayla came out of the bathroom in a short, flowy white dress, coffee colored 2 1/2 inch ankle booties and a cute vintage necklace I had got her for Christmas. Her hair was dry and naturally wavy, pulled over her right shoulder. I smiled and we walked downstairs hand in hand. When we got down there was breakfast waiting for us with everybody else sat at the table. Ray smiled at us,

"Ah, about time you two came down for breakfast, have a seat! We were just about to start prayer!" He said. We both sat down as plates full of food were placed in front of us. Ray prayed then we began to eat.

After breakfast and a few chats we were ready to leave for the baby shower. We all hopped in cars and drove off to the place where the shower was being held.

When we arrived we all headed off into the place. The room was set up with 5 tables that sat 6. There was plenty of snacks and refreshments set up, along with deserts and candy. After everyone invited piled in and took their seats, we were able to begin the party. I went up and thanked everybody for coming,

"...and here is the lovely mother of the bride." I said as Jenn walked up and I sat down next to Kayla at our table,

"Alrighty! So we are going to kick off this baby shower with a game! All you ladies, except for Kayla of course, will see these sheets of paper that my husband has passed out, and the game is called 'What's in Your Purse?' and the way it works is there are items on the list and you check th one by one. If you have these items in your purse you check off the little box and say how many of that item you have! The person with the most points at the end will win a prize! You have 20 minutes ladies, GO!" She said and all the women started ripping through their bags, trying to find the things on the list they were given. Kayla giggled watching everybody,

"They're going nuts....the prize is just gift card for a day to the spa, plus I felt bad that everyone else would go home empty-handed and got everybody one." She whispered. I smiled....she was so generous. The chair that Kayla and I were sat in were like wooden thrones with cushions. I was sat there and she was on my lap. Kayla shivered and rubbed her arms. I furrowed my eyebrows,

"Are you cold?" I whispered. She shrugged,

"A little." She said and pulled her hair over her shoulder again. I pulled my fake leather jacket off and slipped her arms through it. Kayla pulled the sleeves over her hands and snuggled into it. The jacket was rather large on her. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her gently. Kayla giggled and I smiled.

A couple hours later the shower was over and everyone started leaving. Jay and Max were at the doors, holding them open for the guests as they left. We drove home after.

~~~~2 Days Later~~~~

It was now time for all of us to leave California to go home. We boarded the plane and after half an hour the plane took off.
