Life's What You Make It

Chapter 16

Beyoncé's POV
We arrived at the restaurant Shawn booked for us a short while later. He parked up and we got out before he took my hand and walked in the restaurant.

"Booking name?" One of the waiters said.

"Carter." Shawn replied.

"Right this way." The waiter said as we followed him over to our table.

"Thank you." I said as he left. Shawn pulled my chair out and I sat down and then Shawn sat in his chair. "This is lovely."

"Only the best for my wife."

"How did you even find this?" I asked.

"Becky told me about it, she came with one of her ex's." He said and I sighed. "Bey, it's not gonna be like that again..." I just nodded in response.

"Can I get yall any drinks?" The waiter said coming back over, breaking any tension.

"Could we get a bottle of non alcoholic champagne." Shawn asked.

"Yeah sure, coming right up. I'll get some food menus also." He said, walking away. A few minutes later he came back with two champagne glasses and the bottle, he poured it in both glasses before putting it in an ice bucket. "Your menus. I'll be back shortly." He said, passing us the menus and walking away.

"Cheers." I said, picking up my glass ready to toast.

"Cheers and congratulations." Shawn replied, touching his glass with mine.

"Can you believe it? A baby?!" I grinned.

"I know. It's crazy! When we gonna tell everyone?"

"A few weeks, Michelle said I gotta be 3 months." I said, my grin still plastered on my face.

"So June yeah? When you're due?"

"Yeah, mid June." I replied.

"Keep cooking my baby." He said, placing his hands on my stomach, making me laugh.

"We can do it can't we? 2 kids, maybe 3 depending on Jasmine?"

"Of course we can. If it's me and you against the world, then so be it." He said reassuringly.

Jasmine's POV
"You don't have to stay with Blue, you know? Just sneak out when she's asleep." Ms. Tina said.

"Yeah, I probably will. Thanks." I replied.

"Okay. Well dinners ready now."

"What's cooking?" I asked.

"My special fried chicken." She said, my mouth watered at the thought.

"Yum!" I replied excitedly, making her chuckle.

"Go on!" She said ushering me down the stairs. "Blue, dinner!"

"Yay food!" Blue said, running out the living room.

"Ooh be careful!" Ms. Tina said, catching her as she skidded round the corner. "Blue, what I told you about running around in your socks on this floor."

"To not do it." She sighed.

"Yet you still continue to do it." Ms. Tina replied, making me chuckle slightly. "Jas, could you get the plates please?" She asked, walking over to the oven.

"Yeah, um where are they?"

"Oh of course!" She exclaimed, "top cupboard above the sink." I walked over and opened the cupboard, getting 3 plates and placing them on the table.
