AN- Sorry it's short
Chapter Eleven
Charlie heard a clattering of plates downstairs. He looked around and frowned. Why was Kay downstairs this earlier?
He turned over and saw the date on his clock, December 25th, he smiled now, she'd been downstairs making breakfast.
He got up and pulled on his sweat pants and t-shirt. Then pulled out Kay's bag of presents from under the bed.
Downstairs, Kay was putting on both their breakfast and Christmas dinner at the same time. They'd invited Joe, Sky, Annika, Jezzy, Jason (Annika's husband), Kay's sister Aimee, her husband Will and their two son's Luke and Oliver, her parents were also coming around at some point in the day.
She was nervous about this though, Charlie had said they should tell them all about the baby today, but she really wasn't sure, she wasn't 12 weeks yet, she'd rather wait until they were out of the most dangerous part of her pregnancy.
She pushed the thought to the back of her mind as she heard Charlie whistling as he came down the stairs.
"Good morning" He put his arms around her and kissed her nose
"Morning" She smiled "Someone's in a good mood"
"Can't be a sad on Christmas" He sniffed the air "I smell bacon…eggs…"
"I made you a full breakfast"
"Aw, you didn't have to"
"I do"
"Why?"
She shrugged "Lots of reason, too many to remember"
He placed a hand on her stomach "I think I know one of them"
She put her head on his chest "That's the main one, along with always being here for me"
"You're welcome…what times everyone getting here?"
"About one, is that ok?"
"Sure, sure, no problem, I can't wait to see everyone's faces when we tell them"
"Yeah…about that…"
"What?"
"I don't think we should tell them yet"
"Ok, why didn't you just say? I don't mind"
"Because, it's not just my decision…" She sighed "It's just, this is time that there's the most risk of me miscarrying, plus I don't want my parents yelling on Christmas"
"Hmm, I guess I can see where you're coming from, but we're telling them when exactly?"
"After my twelve week scan, when I start showing"
He nodded "That's ok with me…wait is your dad gonna kill me?"
"More than likely, we weren't suppose to get pregnant out of wedlock"
"I'm leaving all my stuff to you"
"I don't think mom will let him physically kill you"
"Good, now, come open you're presents"
"Happy holidays!" Joe said as Charlie opened the
"Merry Christmas Joe" Charlie smiled, they shared a manly hug
"Smells good" Joe took another deep breath "Smells real good…" He took his shoes off "..how longs it gonna be?"
"Kay's just putting the veggies on in a sec"
"Good, I'm starved"
"You gotta promise to not make any jokes about Sky today"
"But its Christmas…"
"And that's why you can't make fun of her"
They walked back into the living room to see Kay walk out the kitchen, looking pale, she swallowed and said "Excuse me"
Charlie watched where she was going and followed
"What's up?" He asked as they headed up the stairs
"The vegetables… I can't stand the smell anymore" She pushed the bathroom door open
"But you were fine the other day"
"Pregnancy changes you very quickly, I don't think I'll be able to eat them either"
"What are we suppose to do?"
"Help me now, think later"
Charlie set the turkey down on the table as Kay placed down the bread basket
"Why are we having bread?" Aimee asked
"We wanted to do something different, there's still gravy and mashed potatoes"
"I can't eat bread" Sky said
"Oh…" Kay said "Well, what can you eat?"
"Vegetables"
Charlie had to stop himself from laughing, typical, just typical that they couldn't eat what the other one could
"Something quick?"
"Er…not really"
"Well you can have extra cake"
Sky's face lit up "Ok"
"Come on everyone, dig in" Charlie said, starting to cut the turkey
After all the usual Christmas chit chat, Aimee asked "So…does anyone have any big news?"
Kay started to panic, there had to be a reason her sister had asked such a random question…did she somehow already know?
Charlie's reply showed panic too "Nope, no big news over here, what about everyone else?"
"You must have something to tell us?" Annika said
Joe looked at Charlie, Charlie shot him look that said 'Shut up'
"Why are you looking at him like that?" Annika said to Charlie
Charlie looked at Kay, Kay slipped her hand in his
"We weren't going to tell anyone yet but…"
