Dear phoebe-grace ,
Me and your daddy are really excited you will be coming soon. So this is why we thought that we should document all of the fun times we have had before you came, so you could see what mummy and daddy used to do. I haven't been more excited in my life to see someone. I can't wait to see you for the first time and hold you in my arms. You are my little miracle child and I want you to know mummy and daddy will always love you no matter what we will protect you and keep you safe. Although alot of bad things have happened in the past, you are the best suprize waiting to come. See you soon our little princess.
Love you lots my little baby xxx
Mummy <3
Dear my little princess,
Me and mummy are so excited, it's only 3 weeks until we will meet you for the first time. I just wanted to say that no matter what I will protect you from anything that will hurt you. O have never met you, but I know you are very protective because you always kick in mummy's tummy when someone other than me touches her. Nearly every time I go to bed will I can imagine is holding you in my arms for the first time and being with you through your first word, when you walk, first boyfriend and we'll first everything. I will always love you no matter what, just remember that okay. You are our little angel. When you get older the and mummy have alot of stories we should tell you about how we met and everything, because really, I don't think you would believe it's true. Me and mummy thought we should document what you goes on in our lives so that when you get older you can see how we used to be and what we did. See you soon my little angel.
Love you lots my little baby xxx
Daddy <3
"so you don't yet Ezra." I asked as I put my letter in the box.
"yeah, here you go." he said handing me the letter just as my phone went off.
(Hanna and aria.)
A- hey.
H- hey Aria, can you come down to the maternity store, like now.
A- erm why?
H- because we want to get you your baby show gifts.
A- what baby shower.
H- oh come on Aria, a baby shower, everyone has one.
A- I know what ones is, I just thought I wasn't having one.
H- don't be silly of course you are. So can you make it?
A- well yeah, but....
H- ok good, see you in half an hour bye.
She said before I could argue back.
"sorry Ezra, I'm going out with the girls somewhere, will you be ok for about 3-4 hours, I don't know because this is hanna I am shopping with." I asked.
"sure honey no problem, love you bye." he said kissing me.
"love you too ezzy." I smiled and walked out the door.
I walked down to the car and drove the to the store.
I pulled into the parking spot opposite the maternity clothes store; I looked up to see my 4 best friends waving at us from inside the store. Spencer and Hanna are both still together with their high school sweethearts, Toby and Caleb, who both get on well with Ezra.
Ali and Emily we only found out about in our senior year of high school, turns out they were both perfect for eachother and decided to go out.
Hanna, Spencer and I were obviously happy for them, however we were slightly hurt that they had kept it from us, but they ensured us that they had only recently got together after coming to terms with their feelings for each other.
Aside from all that, we remain best friends to this day.
I sat in the changing room of the maternity store 3 hours later with a foot ache and a migraine; I was desperate to get home to Ezra and go to sleep, the baby makes me so tired.
"Come on guys, how much longer do we have to be here?" I asked pleadingly.
"We only have like 2 more outfits left for you to try on, please?" Hanna begged, she loved to shop, and my expanding stomach was just another reason for her to become my personal shopper.
"Hanna, I can't even afford most of these clothes, I will probably only be able to afford 3 outfits at most, let alone all 38 you've made me try on!" I moaned.
"Aria, I told you that you don't have to worry about this, these outfits are part of my baby shower gift to you, so I'm paying for them." Spencer declared, my eyes bugged out of my head.
"Spence, there's gotta be about $3000 dollars worth of clothes there! I can't ask you to pay for that!" I exclaimed, shock written clearly all over my face.
"Aria, technically this is a gift from me and Toby, so it really isn't actually that much if you think about it..." She bargained.
"Yeah and Aria, if you are still freaking out over it, Ali and I will split it with them, so it really isn't that much.
We all know how freaked out you get when people spend a lot of money on you" Emily was always the one to try and diffuse the situation, she was the mediator of our group.
"And Aria, you've really got to get used to it, because when phoebe-grace gets here, we are going to be the best aunties ever, so expect lots of toys and clothes for her. Can't have my little niece missing out on any if the latest fashions even if she is a baby, she will be the coolest one." hanna smiled.
"I guess I could deal with it if you all split it... I love you guys" I said, becoming watery eyed.
"Oh god, here comes the hormones!" Ali teased, making all of us laugh.
"we all love you too." they all said in unison.
"I'm going to pay, Emily, could you take Aria to her car so she doesn't see how much it is." Spencer said.
I groaned, and followed her.
I got into the car, and soon after all the girls came out with bags and bags full of clothes.
"so we will give you these now, before you don't fit in them." Spencer smiled.
They loaded them into the boot.
" well, we have gotta go, but we will see you next week for the baby shower." hanna smiled.
"bye." I smiled back to all of them.
I drove back home, and as soon as I got in, I got Ezra to help me Carey in my bags.
"Omg when you said shopping, I didn't think you would bring the whole store back with you." Ezra joked.
"well I said I was shopping with hanna, she likes to shop." I replied.
"how did you afford all if this." Ezra asked.
"the girls, they said it was part of the baby shower gifts. You didn't tell me anything about a baby shower." I said.
"yeah I know, it was supposed to be a surprise for you." he smiled.
"Oh sorry." I apologised.
"It's okay." he smiled.
"so who's coming?" I asked.
"well just my mum maybe and brother Wesley, but your family and friends are definitely coming. I thought I might invite some old collage mates and friends if that okay with you." he asked.
I wasn't too keen on the idea of having strangers in my house, but I needed people there what Ezra knew and was friends with, so I agreed.
"yeah sure it's no problem." I lied.
"Oh ok, thanks." he smiled.
"so when is the baby shower?" I asked.
"tomorrow." Ezra said slowly waiting for my reaction.
"WHAT!" I almost yelled.
"I'm sorry, I just thought that we should do it tomorrow because we are getting closer and closer to your due date, and baby can come anywhere from 6 months and above." Ezra said.
" no its Ok, i'm not angry at you." I smiled.
"and one more thing, I have you one more little present, I'll go and get it." Ezra smiled leaving the room, soon to come back with s big box with s little card on the front.
This is a little gift for you for the baby shower, if you don't like it then I can take it back no problem, but there you.
Xxx Mr Fitz.
Said the little letter.
I opened the box to reveal the most amazing dress I had ever seen.
It was a baby blue colour with an elastic part above my stomach. It would make my baby bump look really cute under it. It had sequin all around the breast part and a silk over lay on top.
"Omg it is amazing Ezra, I don't even know what to say, its the best dress I have ever seen." I said pecking Ezra's lips.
" that's good, because I wanted to makesure you would like these." Ezra replied pulling out a little box that contained massive looped earrings that had silver crystals on them.
"Ezra, I feel so bad right now this must have cost you loads, and you promised that the dress was the last thing." I said.
"I know, I know that I shouldn't have, I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself they were so nice,a and you deserve them. But please don't feel bad." Ezra said reassuringly.
"It's ok." I smiled.
"erm, listen the office at work have said to me that I need to come on for a couple of weeks, is that ok." Ezra asked.
"yeah, that's fine, but as long as yoy are here for me when I'm in labour." I joked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Ezra smiled.
"so what do you want to order for dinner today?" Ezra asked.
"I dunno, but at the moment I am craving girkings and chocolate spread. Have we got any of those in the cupboard?" I asked.
"erm, yeah I think we have check the fridge and the top draw." he smiled.
I walked into the kitchen and got them.
I shoved them both in my mouth at once and moaned in joy.
"ew, how can you even eat that?" Ezra laughted.
"don't mock it till you try it, and blame the hormones, they makes me crave the weirdest things." I groaned.
After acouple more lumps of chocolate spread and girkings , I got up and put them back into the kitchen.
"so we will get a takeout at about 7:30, is that okay with you?" Ezra asked.
"yeah, but I think that I will have a nap because I got hardly no sleep last night, and we have the shower as well." I smiled getting off the sofa and going to bed.
"Okay, I'll wake you up later." Ezra yelled from the living room.
I got into bed and fell asleep.
Several hours later
"hey Aria baby, the food is down stairs." Ezra sweetly said gently whispering in my ear.
I groaned, but got up out of bed.
We went downstairs and put on some black and white movie while we ate.
I was quite good, except for the end bit about the man who dies amd the woman had to go to his funeral, that made me cry, so we turned it off and Ezra just hugged me.
I felt really bad, but he just said it was ok and we should go to bed.
The next morning
I woke up pretty early in the morning to an empty bed next to me.
Ezra was probably making breakfast.
I went downstairs to find Ezra just reading.
"hey." I said.
"hey, I was waiting for you to get up, now get dressed, because some people have a shower to plan." he smirked.
"Okay." I replied walking off to do as he asked.
When I came bsck downstairs there were pancakes at the table.
We ate them and went to the car.
"so what are we doing all day?" I asked.
"It's a suprise." he laughted.
"Fine!" I said impatiently.
Hanna's pov:
"Okay, now listen everyone, ezra has just text me to say they have left for their half a day out to Miami , so we can get this baby showere oN the the road." I yelled.
"everyone get all the things in the car." smile yelled.
"I'll take the food in my car." ali yelled.
"Okay." Spencer agrees.
"I'll take the gifts." I yelled loading the rest if the things into the car.
After hours of preparation, if finally all payed off when we had finished all of it.
"I'll call Ezra and tell him to head back." I tell everyone.
No one's pov:
"Welcome to your baby shower your highness" Hanna says before handing Aria a shirt which read 'Precious cargo on board'.
"Thanks for all your help Ezra you can go now. We no longer need your services. If anything comes up we'll call you." emily smiles.
Ezra quickly said goodbye to Aria and phoebe-grace before following his orders and heading out.
As soon as he left the party began.
They ate, played a lot of shower games and talked about baby names even though they knew that phoebe-grace had a name, they were just thinking about the future.
Finally they got to the gift exchange.
"I want you to open mine first." Ella announces and hands her gift to her daughter.
"Aww thanks mom" She took the gift and began hastily ripping at the wrapping paper. "It was my pleasure sweetheart" Ella replied
Inside revealed; suits for newborn girl, matching pacifiers and baby blankets.
Whilst Aria was going through the box and showing everything to everyone Ella had gone to her hiding place and returned with a diaper cake, wipes and a box filled with baby safe house hold cleaners.
"This is everything you'll need for coming home from the hospital along with a few baby safe products." Aria was about to get up hug her mom when Ella instructed her to remain seated and made her way to Aria instead.
"I'm next" Hanna says before anyone else could beat her to it. She got up and placed an obscenely large gift bag, large box and a much smaller one in front of Aria. "This is from me and my mom."
"Wow Hanna you really went at it didn't you?" Aria laughed
"Yeah any reason to go shopping especially if it's for my niece is a good one. Plus I couldn't help myself and my mom didn't tell me she was going to get you anything"
Aria removed the tissue paper from the gift bag to find many different matching outfits and onesies, she made sure to take them out one by one so everyone could see. "They are really cute Hanna thanks"
"Yeah no problem, now open the next one, it's from my mom." Aria did as she was told and reached for and opened the larger box first which turned out to be a sleep-o-matic baby swing, followed by the smaller one which was a play mat.
"Oh wow Hanna tell your I said thank you" Aria exclaimed
Next was Spencer, whose gift was some cthe pjs, a few outfits, some blankets and a crib.
"Thanks Spencer I was just telling Ezra the other day that we needed more blankets and a spare crib." Aria smiled
"You are welcome" Spencer replied.
"Leave it up to Spencer to try to get the kid to like her the best." Hanna quipped causing everyone to erupt in laughter.
"my turn." ali said handing aria a big box.
Inside was some teddies, more clothes, bottles, dummies and some other small bits and pieces.
Finally it was time for Emily's gift. Aria opened it and was not surprised when she some more outfits, bottles, bibs and a few toys and stuffed animals.
"I went into the baby store and I thought I was going to go insane. Everything was just so darn cute." Emily exclaimed.
"I know what you mean. I have a hard time keeping with my list whenever I try to go shopping." Aria agreed.
"Thank you though everything is just so adorable. And mom, Spencer, Hanna, Emily and ali thank you all this was really fun and I love everything you guys bought even though you didn't have to.
"well we will see you soon." they all said before leaving just as Ezra turned up.
For the rest of the evening I sat down with ezra and showed him all the things that the girls got for me. He thought that they were extremely cute.
We talked about the baby shower and hiw it was so great before going to bed.
