Week 27

Ashton (his POV)
I sat down at the table next to Ashton. We invited Michael and Charlotte over for dinner. Ashton and I chose them to be Harleys god parents. We chose them because Ashton's siblings are too young and my older brothers are way to busy with work and their own families. We also chose them because they're the closest to us- personality wise. If we die I want to my child with people who are more like Ash and me, not different. If it was someone different what a miserable life she would have.
It was getting towards the end of the dinner when Ashton spoke up, "Guys, we have to ask you something." He started. They looked nervous. Usually when someone says something like that it's never good but it is this time. "You guys are fun, loving, caring, and a little disorganized and those traits are also our best qualities which is why we want you guys to be the babies god parents. If something happens to us we don't want too much change in our child's life. So what do you guys think?" They look at each other then looked at us nodding their heads. "Yes of course!"
Calum (his POV)
"Please Rache, go rest. I got this." I said to a upset Rachel. I was putting together the nursery today. She was eager to help me put the furniture together but I didn't want her getting hurt with a screw driver or something. Plus she looked very tired. Maybe because she only got like three hours of sleep last night. She badly needed a nap. "But I want to help..." She pouted like a five year old. "I know baby. After you take a nap you can help, I promise." I said putting my hands on her shoulder then guiding her out the door. "Fine." She mumbled leaving.
I finished building the furniture four hours later. They really don't make it easy to put that stuff together. Rachel then woke up re-energized. Together we put the clothes in the dresser, pictures and wall stickers on the wall, bedding in the crib, and stuffed animals in a basket. The nursery was done. We didn't need to paint the walls because gray was a nice mature color unlike soft pink. On the gray wall we placed pink bird stickers flying away. The furniture is white and the color schemes (bedding, rug, lamp colors) of the room is gray and pink. "Only thing missing is the baby." I said resting my hands on her belly as we admired the room.
Luke (her POV)
It was my baby shower today. My good friend from college was hosting. It was female only and theme was Finding Nemo because I'm obsessed with that movie. Well I'm obsessed with The Little Mermaid too but i can see how that wouldn't be a good baby shower theme for a boy. It was getting near the end when my mom spoke, "Sam I'd like to share a tradition with you. My mom did it for me and your aunt. I've put together this scrapbook for you and Its going to go around to us moms in the house. Were going to write tips/advice for you and what we've learn about motherhood. I hope you enjoy it!" The book started being passed around. I was so glad that my mom could pass down a tradition to me.
After the shower I was exhausted. I got ready for bed. I got into bed and opened the scrapbook. I started reading it. So many people gave me great advice and lessons like embrace curveballs, even though your a mother it doesn't mean you can't have you time or stop your career. Im keeping this book forever. It's by far the best present I've gotten. By the time I got to my moms page the tears were let lose. I feel more than ready to become a mother now. Luke walked in ready for bed. "Honey are you ok? What's that?" He asked. I just smiled saying, "it's just this book."
Michael (her POV)
"Thank you so much Claire for throwing me and the twins this shower!" I thanked my sister. I look around taking in my once in a life time day. The theme was Dr. Seuss' thing 1 and thing 2 (female only). "No problem, it was my pleasure. I can't wait to meet my new nephews!" She said putting her hand on my knee.
After we finished lunch it was game time. The first game is called 'my water broke'. Claire started explaining it to everyone, "Ok so this is how this game works: Everyone grab a frozen baby in an ice cube and put it in your drink. When it melts make sure to yell my water broke! Winner gets a prize. Lets play!" The guest got a frozen baby placing it in their drinks. I of course played too. Five minutes later Rachel was the first one to jump up and yell, "My water broke!" Claire quick got up and gave her her prize. Next time I'll hear someone say my water broke I'll be me and it'll be for real.
