Here is Chapter 4. Please review and I hope you enjoy. xx

So two months have past and my parents seem to be somewhat happy again. My dad along with Uncle Heath and Uncle Casey are on the witch hunt to find the lady who accused my dad of cheating. Me and Noah are more in love than ever, and today is my 17th birthday and you know what that means. However, me and Noah have decided to wait until Saturday night as tonight my family has decided to celebrate my birthday.

THAT NIGHT:

I stepped out of the shower with a new found confidence. For some reason I haven't older. I felt excited for the first time in months. My mum and dad were happier and my mum seemed to be trusting my dad more. My brothers and sisters were happier, although i still haven't seen Taylor in a while and no-one seems to want to talk about it. But I am not going to let it bother me. My Uncles and Aunts as well as Noah were coming over in the next hour for my birthday dinner. I walked to my room and into my walk-in closet and picked out a black dress that was short - not too short that my dad would freak out but short enough to make me feel sexy and would make Noah feel excited for Saturday. The dress had a nice low back that made me feel very elegant. I put on some black and gold dangly earrings and some black scrappy heels to match. I did my makeup and curled my hair, and as I finished I heard a knock on my door. It was my mum and my dad. My mum look beautiful in a white dress that fell just above the knee. She had own white heels to match and her hair was curled similar to mine. Dad was wearing a shirt with some chinos that made him look formal but casual at the same time. In my mothers hand was a small Tiffany and Co box. They both sat down on my bed.

"Alie-bear, me and your dad just wanted to come say happy birthday again and we just wanted to give our present to you before people got here. These last couple of moths have been really hard on everyone and we truly believe that you have helped to mend this family. And so this present is a token of our appreciation. We both love you with all our hearts." She handed over the presents and I opened it. Inside the box was a silver bracelet that had small diamond running all the way around it. It sparkled and was truly elegant.

"Oh thanks mum and dad for everything, especially for the bracelet. I love you both more than anything in the world". They both kissed me on the head and left. I both the bracelet on and went downstairs to await my guests. Soon after I went downstairs my brother Jackson came down too. He was similarly dressed to my dad and he came up and gave me a big hug. "Happy birthday sis. I love you" He handed over his present and I was surprised to see that it was two tickets to go see Ed Sheeran this Saturday night. I was wanting to buy the tickets but when I went to buy them earlier they had all sold out. I looked further in the bag and I saw a condom in a packet with a winked face drew on top. It must have been Jack's version of a joke. I left but I didn't want to make it obvious as my dad was standing in close proximity to us. "Thanks Jack, Love u too". After Jackson came down the twins came down too. Ava was wearing a gorgeous blush dress that my mum had picked out for here and Luca was wearing similar outfits to my dad and Jack. "Happy birthday Aaliyah, we love you so much". I opened their present and saw a cute picture of the three of us framed in a gorgeous silver frame that would go well in my room. "Thanks babies, this is the best present ever, I love you both too." And with that, my guests started to arrive.

First, Uncle Heath and a heavily pregnant Aunty Bianca arrived with their kids in tow. I hugged them both and they gave me their pressie which was a pair of earrings of Tiffany and Co. Then there was Aunt Ruby and Uncle Casey with their brood in tow and lastly Aunt Bella and Dylan. Aunt Bella, Darcy and I went up to my room to chat. Since Aunt Bella was only 6 years older than us we had always been super close. It was as if we were all sisters. Her boyfriend was also close to Jack so it worked out well. I had told them about Jack's present and they both laughed. I told them about what me and Noah were planning and they both 'awhh' in excited for me. "I remember my first time. Actually it was with Dylan about 5 years ago. It was so special. We had just gone to dinner in Yabbie Creek and we got to our apartment and we did it." I smiled at her story and hoped my first time was just as magical. I wanted to ask Darcy about how she felt about the new arrival to her family. "I am excited but I wonder if I will be forgotten 'cause of the new baby. Like mum and dad will be so busy with the bub that they'll forget I still need them."

"They could never forget about you." Aunt Bella said. "I know Heath and Bianca and they love all their children equally. There is no chance you would be forgotten. I remember when i was a kid, my brothers were always there for me no matter what and I know they will do the same for u two. Before we could get further, we had a piercing scream from downstairs. We all ran downstairs to see Bianca slumped over in agony. The door also rang so I had to run to the door to greet Noah. As Ruby who is pregnant herself was an obstetrician she immediately got to work to check if Bianca was ok. Aunt Bianca's water hadn't broken yet so we had time till she had to get to the hospital.

2 hours later….

During the past two hours we were all just hanging out waiting for Aunt Bianca's water to finally break. When it did we all including Noah jumped in our cars and ran to the hospital. According to Ruby, Aunt Bianca was already 7cm dilated, and she might only need another 2 hours before she was ready to push as she was progressing quite quickly. Once at the hospital our family of 19 soon to be 20, piled into the waiting room as Aunt Bianca and Heath along with Bella and Ruby rushed to the maternity ward.

1 hour later…

In that hour my family and I had just been throwing around baby names. As we didn't know that gender all names were available. The little kids picked names like "fairy", and "pony" while the adults and older kids picked 'normal' names such as Beau, Connor, Riley, Savannah, Aria and Ellie. After an hour of baby names Ruby came to the waiting room saying that Bianca was ready to push and that she wanted mum in the delivery room. So off Mum went and 25 mins later, after many loud screams, Aunt Bianca gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, that everyone fell in love with immediately…..
