I woke up to the sound of a picture being taken. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and looked around ashes room. His mom was standing by the door holding a camera.

"Sorry dear. I didn't mean to wake you. I came to see if you two were awake and to tell you that the family should be arriving anytime. You two looked so cute sleeping like that. Here." She says and hands me a picture. I was laying on ash's chest and his arms were wrapped around my stomach cradling my belly.

"Thank you. I will go ahead and get ready." She nods and walked back out of the room. I looked over to ash who was still sleeping. I rubbed his cheek and he smiled.

"Good morning beautiful." He said before he leaned up to kiss me.

"Ashhh I have morning breath." I whined and pulled away. He just leaned up more and pecked my lips. I just shook my head at him and he smiled.

"I'm going to take a shower. Your mom came in and said that your family should be arriving anytime now." I said and got up to go to his bathroom.

"I'll take a shower in reas bathroom so that it won't take as long." He said and walked out of the room.

I showered and wrapped myself in a towel. When I walked back into ash's room he was standing there with only a towel around his waist and water droplets falling down his back. Hot damn was he sexy. How is this my boyfriend?

He turned around and smirked at me when he saw me looking. "I'll um, turn around so you can get dressed." I said and he nodded. While I was turned around I slipped on my undergarments and threw a dress over my head.  I wore a cream long sleeved dress with a maroon blanket scarf. I paired it with my grey dress boots that went up to my knees and some jewelry.

"Wow you're so gorgeous

"Wow you're so gorgeous." Ash said as he looked at my outfit. I blushed and gave him a hug. He hugged me back tightly before pulling away so we could walk downstairs.

There was about twenty people in the backyard. They were all standing around talking amongst themselves. We walked out the back doors and everyone looked at us.

"Ashy!" I heard a small squeal and a little girl that looked no older then six came running towards us. Ash picked her up and she giggled.

"Hey addy. Have you been behaving?" He asked and walked off the patio towards a woman.

"Yes. I missed you ashy." The little girl said. She looked at me. "Who's the pretty gurl?" She asked.

"Well addy this is my girlfriend Nicole." He said and Addy looked over to me and smiled. I smiled back.

"Nicole this is my cousin Addy and this is her mom, my aunt Janet." He said looking to the woman we are now standing with.

"It's nice to meet you Nicole. I'm glad Ashton here finally found someone. I thought the boy was never going to get with someone." She said and she gave me a light hug.

"I just never met the perfect girl." Ash said and shrugged.

We talked to a few others but none were as talkative as Janet. She seemed really nice. The others just said hi to me and ash and turned back to the conversations around them.

We all set down at the long table they built in the backyard and ate. I was starving since it was after noon so I ate a lot.

After most people finished ash's mom stood up. "Ash and Nicole have to leave soon but before they do they have an announcement for everyone." She said and sat back down. All eyes were on us now.

Ash stood up and held up the onesie so people could see. "There will be a new baby running around here by next thanksgiving." He said with a smile. People started clapping and congratulating us. Some of his aunts came up to me and gave me a hug. His uncles shook ash's hand and smiled at me.

"There's a baby in there?" Addy pointed to my stomach.

"There sure is." Ash said with a smile. Addy nodded and grinned.

"I'm glad you finally are happy Ashton. It will also be good to have a new baby in the family. Addy isn't a baby anymore." She said and gave me another hug.

"Thank you. And addy will always be the baby." Ash said and smiled. He tickled addys belly and she started giggling. Ash is so good with her. I can't wait to see how he acts with our baby.

"We have to leave and head back to Texas. I will be back for Christmas." Ash said.

"You better bring Nicole back to." Janet said.

"I will." He assured her. She gave us one last hug and we walked into the house to tell ash's parents goodbye.

"I hope you come back for Christmas. I want to see the bump." Reagan said and hugged me. I smiled and nodded. His parents also hugged me and said there good byes.

"Drive safe you two." His dad yelled as we got in my truck.

We headed towards Texas. At nine o'clock I told ash we should stop and get some sleep. We pulled into a parking lot and we slept in my truck.

We woke up at 7 the next morning and kept driving towards my house. By the time we get there, most of my family will already be there.

We drove for five more hours and finally we were pulling into my driveway. Ash seen all the cars and I could tell he was nervous so I looked over at him and smiled. He walked up the steps behind me and into the packed dining room of my house.

"Nikki!" I heard josh my older cousin yell. He came running towards me and picked me up. He spun me around before he set me down. I looked back to ash and I saw a look of jealousy in his eyes.

"Josh this is my boyfriend Ashton and Ashton this is my cousin josh. He's more like my brother to me though. He was always over at our house growing up."

"Nice to meet you man." Ash said and stuck out his hand to shake joshs.

"Soo you are the guy who doesn't know how to wrap before you tap." Josh said and looked over ash. My eyes were like popping out of my head. How does he know? "Your mom can't keep secrets. As soon as everyone got here she spilled." He said with a laugh. He was always good at reading what I was thinking.

"Of course she did." I said and rolled my eyes. That means everyone knows. Ash looks petrified. It's actually funny. He acts like a bad tough guy but when he's around me and my family he's a big softie.

"Anyways I wish you would've told me the news before I had to hear it from your mom. She seemed over the moon happy to have a grand baby."

"Yeah sorry about that. I was planning to tell everyone in person today but my mom beat me to it."

"Don't hurt my little cus or the baby." He said looking at ash. 

"I would never." He said. Josh nodded and we walked over to everyone else.

They said congratulations, gave me and ash a hug and told us we would make great parents.

"I can't believe I will get to be a great grandma." My grandma came up and smiled at me. "It'll be good to have a new generation in our family. All the babies have grown up."

Everyone was nice and supportive towards me and ash so that made me feel better. After we ate and everyone left me and ash were very tired after sleeping in the truck so we went up to take a nap.

I couldn't find a good stopping place for this chapter so sorry it's not very good.
