His eyes were begging me to kick her out of our bathroom to continue where we left off, but I didn't have the guts to do it, she was so happy. And out of everyone, she deserved to be happy after so long."It's been great having you stay here, Ave, but please leave now", he said sternly and I shook my head fiercely at him."Fine I'll leave, but I'm taking Nat with me, bye dear old brother", she said, as she pulled me out of the room with her. She grabbed some random items from the closet and threw them at me, and she successfully dragged me out of the room. She pulled me to the guest room and stuck me in their with Tyler, who was just now waking up."Ave, I love you but please we don't have to listen to the song again I already love it", he said, not even opening his eyes to check his assumption."Sorry, not Avery", I said awkwardly and he opened his eyes and winced against the bright light. He sat up in bed and looked over."Sorry, it's just Avery has been o
"Today's the day", a voice from the middle of the bed spoke and I looked over at the time and the to be bride, who is supposed to be sleeping. It was three in the morning and she was still awake."Do I need to give you some melatonin?", I asked her, sleepily and she shook her head, trying not to wake Caroline."No I don't need melatonin, I don't need to be groggy for my wedding day", she told me and I nodded my head at her, sleepily."I think I need beer, or vodka", she said wandering out of the bed and I pulled her back."If you're worried about being groggy, you definitely don't want to be drunk", I held her back and she tucked herself back in bed."What's happening?", Caroline asked as she looked up at, Avery climbing back in bed."Ask Avery, who keeps having her so called 'mid-life crises'?", I teased, which received a slap on the arm from Avery."I can't sleep", Avery said what we were all thinking."Did you try melatonin?", Caroline aske
Caroline and back at me."Sweetie I think you're pregnant", she said and it finally became clear."I can't be, I puked this morning", I said and when I repeated my words it dawned on me."OH MY GOD I PUKED THIS MORNING", I screamed and I could see the joy marked on everyone's faces. It became suddenly clear, my ankles were the size of watermelons, along with my tender breasts which had also grown and I smelt everything so distinctively and I had been puking."What are you waiting for?", Avery asked as Caroline and her stood by the door. I stood up from my chair and I followed them out the door."What if I am?", I looked at them as we impatiently waited for the elevator to work faster.Most of our friends knew about my miscarriage, my issues with getting pregnant and I could tell everyone would be happy, but what about if I lose the baby or if something happens."Let's not worry, okay", Caroline calmed me as she directed me in the backseat. She came
His wandering eyes made me nervous, as I stood right next to the spot for the bride to be, and as Leah traipsed down the aisle throwing her flowers, and the music started playing everyone rose in their seats.The in tune melody reminded me of my own wedding, the second one. It was the happiest day of my life, and I couldn't have felt more special.It was just me and him,like it's always been. And here I was back, with my sister, and a baby on the way. Well a baby, no one knew about. The music as it advanced and the large doors opened and I saw Avery walking through the doors. She was beautiful, as Alison and Clay held her opposite arms. I could tell it was obvious that Alison and Clay, were trying to hold back their tears.Her smile was radiant, and I looked to my left, and I saw Tyler holding back his own tears. It was a monumental moment, as the world shifted and all eyes were on them.She walked graciously, with a smile beaded on her face. As she reached the a
Clay and Alison intervened, sweeping in to dance with Tyler and Avery. Tyler was always so reserved about himself but he spoke mountains of feelings about Avery. Tyler recently had told me about his parents, and he explained the story of how Nolan wondered whose grave I would lay by. He understood it more than anyone ever could, because it was something he went through everyday.Soon all the couples were invited on to the floor and Nolan extended his hand with a sweet smile. I grabbed his hand and he guided me to the floor. His hand slipped to the small of my back and I leaned into his comforting embrace."Somethings different", he said hinting at me and I felt his breath against my ear.I hummed to the song as he asked me what was different. And my mind wandered to what was different, the little hopeful bundle of joy, our bundle of joy in my stomach."Weddings, they're just beautiful, makes me think back to ours", I spoke softly in his ear and he smiled softly.
Three days, it had been three days since I had found out, and it looked as if Nolan had no clue. I was too excited to tell him that I knew if he asked me the simple question I would ruin the surprise.Avery and Tyler had been sending us pictures of their honeymoon, and they had me dreaming about the beach and margaritas."Hey, everything will be okay", Caroline tried comforting me, but I was far from the comforting stage. I nervously checked myself into my doctor's appointment, as I waited.She took a seat next to me and slipped her hand inside mine."Are you sure you don't want me to call Nolan?", she asked and I shook my head, waiting for my name to be called.My eyes scanned the wall, trying to find something to distract me, but I failed. The images were of mothers with their kids and too visual representations of vaginas."Tell me something distracting, please", I asked her and she saw my nervousness against the goosebumps pickled on my skin. She re
It was Daniel that had made me so fragile, an illness had overcame me from the torture he forced upon me. It caused me to have an uptick in miscarrying, exactly what had happened last time."I promise no stress", I said, hoping I could take up yoga, to calm my mind as I started my newest, very stressful venture."Nolan, oh if you run into him don't say anything about it he doesn't know yet. I'm surprising him", I told her and she nodded her head, sealing her lips. She gave me my prescription and Caroline and I walked happily out of the office."I am helping you set this surprise up, just tell me what you want from your bed and I'll make it happen", she casually said and now I had two people watching over me and insisting the bed was the safest option."You know me, I can't be told to stay in my bed", I told her and she grinned happily."Listen I know it'll be hard but if you ever want some extra reading and some fun online shopping I have some lists", she sa
"I'm staying home from work", Nolan announced as I stood over the toilet, trying to hold back the feeling to barf yet again. This early morning, I couldn't keep anything in, everything just wanted to be free, in the form of throw-up.It was two days before Nolan's birthday and a little morning sickness wasn't about to stop me from getting his present arranged."Listen I am fine, completely, fine", I said leaning over the toilet seat, as I felt the urge rising yet again."No you're not", his assertiveness rose in his voice. His hands groped my hair, holding it back as the urge rose and rose."What could you have gotten sick from?", he asked totally oblivious to my secret."I have no clue, but your work, it's very important and you should go I'm okay", I reassured him for the second time, because today Caroline was going to bring over color shades that I was going to pick through for the babies room."I promise I'll stay in bed all day", I told him and he
