The rest of our day was simply perfect, we got to spend the whole day surrounded by the people that we love, if that's not a perfect day then I don't know what is. It was without a doubt the happiest day of my life, I couldn't stop smiling.

Our honeymoon was the definition of romantic. Aston had booked us into our own villa with a private pool overlooking the golden beach. We had strawberries and champagne, fancy meals out, one of which was at the restaurant where we had our first official date, long walks along the beach at night, going back to the exact same spot where we first met properly at the beach party. Of course we spent some time trying for a baby but that just happened when the moment took us, we never planned it. But this way was so much more relaxed because neither of us felt any unnecessary pressure.

Near enough the minute we stepped back onto British soil I was off planning for my New York fashion show. I can't get enough of saying that. I've done London, Paris and now New York, I've officially made it! In my eyes anyway. I have so many ideas that I want to put on that runway but they have to be my ultimate best work, it's pretty obvious why.

"Guess who's got the first week in September off?" Aston called as he entered the house whilst I was sat on the floor in the living room with a few sketch pads and pieces of paper around me.

"If it isn't you then this is a horrible story." I giggled as he appeared in the doorway.

"Fortunately it is me," He smiled before I jumped up off the floor and ran over to him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "So it looks like I'm coming with you this time."

"There's no way you wouldn't have been, I'd have smuggled you in my suitcase even if you couldn't." I laughed as Aston ran his hands up and down my back.

"This is the biggest moment of your career, course I was gonna be there. Babe I was in that office for the best part of an hour trying to get that week off." He told me as we pulled apart and he headed into the kitchen.

"Steve being awkward again?" I asked, following him into the kitchen to see him flick the switch on the kettle.

"Like you wouldn't believe," He moaned, reaching up to grab a cup from the cupboard. "Do you want one?"

"Yeah go on." I replied as he took another cup out and put a tea bag in both of them.

"He kept making up photo shoots and meetings that we supposedly had in that week, even though we get emailed the schedule two months before."

"Why's he being like that? What's the harm in you having a week off?" I frowned whilst Aston poured the hot water into each cup.

"I don't know babe," He sighed, taking the milk carton off me. "All I'm bothered about is that I've got that week off. I already missed Paris, no way was I missing New York."

"Damn right you're not," I laughed as he handed me my cup before we both went back into the living room. "We can be tourists when we go, can't we?"

"Sure, I don't see why not. As long as everything for your show's done."

"My show's gonna be finished by next month with the way I'm going, don't worry about that."

"Well there's-"

"Ooh hang on," I interrupted as my phone started to ring. "Hello?..What?! Now?..Thanks, we'll be there as soon as we can..Good luck!..Bye!"

"What was that all about?" Aston asked, taking a sip of his tea.

"Aimee's in labour!" I grinned, leaving my cup on the coffee table as I got up.

"Really?"

"Yeah that was JJ, she's like 9cm dilated, we've got to get down there!"

"Okay okay!" Aston laughed as I grabbed his hand and pulled him up off the couch.

I had to quickly get dressed into something presentable before Aston drove us both to the hospital. We got up to their hospital room to see a worn out Aimee lay in the bed and JJ with a small bundle of blue in his arms.

"Hey." I grinned as we slowly entered the room.

"Hey." Aimee smiled tiredly before I went over to give her a quick hug.

"Congratulations babe, looks like you got a mini JJ then." I giggled, sitting on the edge of the bed as JJ looked up from their baby.

"God I know," She tutted jokingly. "Luce he's perfect."

"Can I hold him?" I asked as JJ looked at me weirdly.

"Sure, here." He smiled, carefully handing his son over to me.

"Oh look at you, babe he's gorgeous." I gasped as he let out a little yawn.

"So what did you name him?" Aston asked as he peered over my shoulder to look at the baby.

"Alex." JJ replied as Aston held his arms out so that I could pass Alex over.

"You always said that if you had a boy you'd call him Alex." I giggled to Aimee as JJ started to talk to Aston.

"I can't help it, I love that name."

"How's Jay been?"

"Amazing considering I almost broke his hand," She giggled. "God, doesn't Ast look like a natural?"

I spun my head around to see Aston stood next to JJ talking with Alex in his arms as rocked him side to side gently.

"Yeah, he does." I smiled, biting my lip.

"If that doesn't make you broody babe then I don't know what will," She laughed as I shook my head. "So when are you two getting started on having one of those?"

"Soon, I guess." I shrugged as Aimee tutted at me.

"Come on babe, you've always said that you'd want kids after you were married and here you are."

"We'll try when we think we're ready, we're just enjoying being married at the minute."

"Babe, are you ready to go? I've got to go and let my mums dog out." Aston butted in as he passed Alex over to Aimee.

"Yeah, I'll see you when you come home yeah?" I asked Aimee as JJ sat on the edge of her bed.

"Yeah, I'll send you a text." She smiled, letting Alex wrap his hand around her finger.

Me and Aston left the three of them to it, exiting the hospital and heading back to his car in silence. His mum didn't have a dog, I knew he'd heard something and wanted to get us the hell out of there.

"You okay?" Aston asked, unlocking the car.

"Yeah I'm fine." I smiled before climbing into the car.

"I heard everything," He sighed after closing his door. "Come here..It's gonna be okay."

"I know." I sniffed into his shoulder, trying 110% to hold the tears in.
