Life After Pretty Little Liars

Chapter 10

Today was Thanksgiving and we were going to my mom's house. The Thanksgiving parade was on downstairs for Ariana and Cooper and I was getting ready for the day. I looked at my growing baby bump and smiled. I couldn't wait for him or her to come. I took a picture and put it on Instagram: @lucyhale: ❤️
I posted the picture before going to curl my hair. Ian was downstairs watching the parade with the kids because he was already ready. Once I was done curling my hair, I brushed my teeth before going downstairs. Ariana and Cooper were eating their cereal while watching the parade.
"Hi Mommy! Come watch with us!" Ariana said. I laughed and sat next to Ian on the couch watching the parade. He gave me a kiss on my head and I smiled. We all watched the parade in peace and before I knew it, the parade was over. I told Ariana to go get dressed and I took Cooper upstairs to put on his clothes. I grabbed his shirt and put it over his head and put his pants on. I brought him into the bathroom and let him brush his teeth. Ariana came in and did the same and we were done faster than I expected. Ian and I brought them out to the car and buckled them in. He got in the drivers seat and turned on the car, pulling out of the driveway. Ariana and Cooper were watching Spongebob in the back, while Ian and I were talking.
"Who else is going to be there?" Ian asked.
"Well us, Maggie and a few others" I said.
" Oh okay." He said returning his focus to the road. I frowned.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Oh, nothing! I promise." He said grabbing my hand.
"Okay." I smiled. I relaxed and for the rest of the way over, I listened to Spongebob's annoying laugh.

"Lucy? Will you help me put this on the table?" My mom asked.
"Sure!" I said getting up from the couch and taking the bowl of mashed potatoes to the table.
"Thank you!" She said sighing.
"No problem mom." I said rubbing her back.
"It's time to eat, go get them" she said.
"Guys, it's time to eat!" I yelled. Everyone came in and sat down. Before we started to get our food, we said grace.
"Do you want potatoes?" I asked Ariana and Cooper. They both nodded so I put some on their plates. Throughout the whole meal, we laughed and talked.
"So, when's the baby due?" My mom asked.
"March 3rd" I said. I could tell she couldn't wait to find out the gender.
"I just can't wait!" She squealed.
"I know." I said smiling.
"When are you figuring out the gender?" She asked.
"December 20th"
"I can't wait that long! Please tell me the day you find out!" She pleaded with me.
"Nope, you'll figure it out on Christmas" I smirked at her.
"Fine." She said fake pouting. She was thinking I was going to give her sympathy! How about no.
"Mommy, can I go play?" Ariana asked.
"Yes." I said. She got off her chair and ran to the dolls. Cooper was playing with his cars. We all talked a little bit before we decided that we should go home. We had stayed there for the whole day and both the kids were asleep.
"Bye mom" I said giving her a hug.
"Bye sweetheart"
"Bye Ian" She said giving him a kiss in the cheek, which he returned. We took both the kids out to the car and put them in. Ian and I said one last goodbye before leaving for home.

When we got home, we took the kids out of the car and into their rooms. I said goodnight to them before returning to our room. I put my pajamas on before laying in the bed. Ian soon laid beside me, I knew he could sense I was upset.
"Why are you sad?" He asked softly.
"I think something might be wrong with the baby" I whispered softly.
"Why?"
"I don't know, it just feels off." I said.
"Okay, does it bother you?" He asked.
"Yes..." I said turning around and cuddling him more.
"Why do you think it's bothering you?"
"I don't know. It's just that I don't want anything bad to happen." I started to cry.
"Hey, nothing bad will happen. If something does, we'll find a way to deal with it. We always do." He said giving me a gentle kiss. He held me and played with my hair until I fell asleep. I hope everything was going to be okay.

Ian's POV
I held her until she stopped crying and eventually fell asleep. I was worried for her. She seems different this time. She wasn't eating as much, mostly just pushing her food around eating a few bites. Maybe because her morning sickness hasn't fully gone away yet. I'll keep an eye on it just in case. I heard a whimper beside me. I looked over at Lucy, her eyes were moving quickly in her sleep. She was having a nightmare. I held her closer to me and I listened to her breathing calm. I kept her close just incase she would have another before falling asleep.
