It had been 3 months and Sam, Harry and Tessa were still living with me. I was glad because being 7 months pregnant, it was getting harder to do things for myself. I couldn't bend down and someone had to help me off the sofa. "Lottie, I need a wee" I groaned. Charlotte and I had been on FaceTime for an hour. We enjoyed chatting and catching up. "Well go then!" She laughed. "But I'm stuck!" I laughed back. "SAM!" I shouted. I heard footsteps come down stairs. "Everything alright?" He asked walking into the living. "Alright Lottie?". "Yeah I'm good thank you and yourself?" She replied. "Good good. Yeah really good thank you!" He chatted. "Right enough of the chit chat"' I interrupted them. "Can you help me off this sofa please?" I asked him. He laughed and came and grabbed both of my arms and pulled. You could hear Charlotte laughing. I finally got to my feet and handed my phone to him. "Carry on with your chit chat" I said as I waddled off to the toilet.

"Elysia!" I heard Charlotte say excitedly. Elysia and I were going baby shopping as I wanted to find a coming home outfit for the little one. To be honest, I hadn't really been shopping for her yet as I had been busy with work and in general, not being able to move. I could here Charlotte and Elysia having a conversation. Even though they hadn't met, they got on really well. "When you're out, please could you get me some socks?" I heard Harry say behind me. I started laughing. "Yeah sure! What size?" "7 please" he said laughing too. "I'll cook tonight" I said turning towards Harry. "Ooo. What are you going to cook?" Harry said interested. "I brought steaks yesterday so I thought we could have that". I started putting on my shoes. I was struggling so Harry came and helped me. "Thank you" I sighed. "Anytime" He said getting up. "I'll make the garlic bread and the chips" he said happily. "Garlic bread with steak" I muttered. "So socks. Anything else?" I said while walking away. "Nope all good ta!" He said. "Have fun!!" He added. "Will do! Thank you!". I grabbed my coat and went into the living room where Sam and Elysia were cuddled on the sofa still talking to Charlotte. "I'll pass you back now Lottie. Nice speaking to you!" Sam grinned. "And you!" Charlotte replied. "Right I need to go as it is late here" she said. "No problem. Love you loads! Speak soon! Send my love to Mum and Dad" I said. I had to be polite. "Will do! Love you loads too" She said then ended the call. "Ready?" Elysia said to me as she got off the sofa.

We spent a good hour in Mother Care buying pink baby grows and cute little mittens and socks. "I need a pram and a car seat" I said turning to Elysia. "You can get that nearer the time. Plus it might have gone down in price" she answered. "I am due in 2 months, what if she comes early?" I asked. "If she does, then I'll send Sam or Harry to buy it" she said smiling. "Come on, let's go and pay" she said taking the basket and walking towards the checkout. "What's going on?" I asked following her but she didn't respond.

All the way home I kept asking her but all she did was smile. "What was going on?" I thought to myself. When we pulled up outside the flat, I grabbed the shopping bags and walked inside to see a pram and a car seat in the middle of my living room. "Wh...What" I stammered in shock. "We weren't sure what to get you so we all pitched in" Nikki said coming in from the kitchen with the rest following her. "Oh my god. Thank you so much!!" I cried waddling over and giving them all a hug. "Well the pram anyway" Dom said as I gave him a hug. "We brought the car seat". I turned around to find my Mum, Dad and Charlotte stood there. I walked over to them and gave them all a big hug.

When we pulled away, Mum took my hands. "Y/n, I am so sorry for everything. I shouldn't of reacted like that. I'm excited to be a Grandma and I can't wait to hold my gorgeous granddaughter in my arms". I pulled Mum into another hug. "I love you Mum" I sobbed. "I love you too!" She cried. "Hey! What about me?" Dad laughed tapping me on the shoulder. "I love you too Dad" I said pulling away from Mum and hugging him. I pulled away from him and wrapped Charlotte in the biggest hug of all. "I've missed you!" I whispered. She was crying so she couldn't say much. Mum started talking to Nikki and Dom. "Thank you so much for what you are doing for y/n and Harrison. How can we repay you?" She asked. "Honestly you don't have to do anything. They are like our own" Dom graciously said. "We will take you out for dinner! Our treat! All of you! Elysia too!" Mum said clapping her hands together. "Sounds perfect!" I said! "Let me get changed though. This princess eats a lot so I need bigger clothes on" I said waddling off. Everyone laughed. As I reached my room, I pulled my phone out and texted Harrison. Me: "Mum, Dad and Charlotte are here!! We are off out for dinner (they are paying) but will FaceTime when we are back! Love you both loads! Xx". I put it down and started getting changed. I changed into bigger maternity jeans and a bigger top. My phone then buzzed. Big bro: "Seriously! Even though I haven't forgiving them properly, I would like to see them! Hope they are still there when I'm back!! Tom says behave haha! We love you both loads too! Xx". Me: "Haha I'll try too! Plus got some amazing gifts to show you! Got to go! Xx" I quickly replied. "Y/n!" Sam shouted. "Coming!". I grabbed my things and made my way downstairs. "Let's go!" I said walking out of the door to my car.
