4 weeks passed by quicker than Tess expected with everybody being in and out every day of the week but the best part was when Nick would come in with trashy movies chocolate and flowers every day and when he was there the whole room would light up and they would talk for hours over a cup of coffee. Nick walks in Tess smiles as he places his arms around her stomach "Hey you, ready to go?"
She nods "Yeah just putting the last few things in my bag."
He kisses her cheek "I miss you."
She smiles "I miss you too."
Tess signs out and they leave. Nick pulls up at Drovers Tess wakes up "It's good to be home."
Nick grins "Ah yeah."
Nick helps her out of the Ute grabbing her bag when they make their way upstairs Tess opens the door in shock "Where's all my stuff."
Nick smirks "I took it to Wilgul I mean with tad pole and moving in you didn't need all the trouble and stress."
She smirks "But you're supposed to be taking it easy."
He kisses her "Yeah well Alex helped.
Tess smiles as the baby moves she grabs Nicks hand to feel he smiles "Wow that's amazing he's having His own little party in there."
Tess smiles touching Nicks hand feeling her baby move feeling home and complete with her husband and her baby growing inside is that all she needed and Harrison "How do you know it's a him."
Nick smiles "I actually wouldn't mind her."
Tess smiles "Can you take me home, home?"
Nick smiles and nods "Come on then."
On the way to Wilgul they drop into Killarney to pick up Harrison. Tess sighs with concern Nick smiles "Don't look so worried Mum wanted to see you when you came out of hospital."
Tess manages to form a smile after all the possibility's why Liz wanted to see her runs through her mind maybe she wants to tell me it's my fault this happened, maybe I'm not suited for Harrison, maybe she's gonna tell me I'm a threat. Nick shakes his head "Stop thinking so hard and relax where here to pick up Harrison have a cuppa then leave."
Tess sighs "Can we skip the cuppa."
Nick smiles "No I haven't been here all week I just heard from Alex that she wants to see you."
Tess nods "Well she is my Mother-in-law now and you're my husband."
Nick giggles at her. Nick helps Tess out of the ute as Liz comes out with Harrison Tess breaths heavily as nerves fill her Nick giggles at her "It's ok come ok beautiful."
Liz smiles at the young couple "Hello Nick, Tess how are you feeling?"
Tess shrugs "Um I've been better. How's my little man?"
Harrison reaches out to Tess Nick grabs him "He's been asking after Mummy all week."
Tess smiles and kisses him on the cheek "Well little guy Mummy's here. Hey Nick did you and Sally have a nickname for him?"
Nick shakes his head "How about bubble?"
Tess raises her eyebrows "What about when he's 13 and his mates come around."
Nick sighs "True ah boots?"
Tess smiles "Yeah boots!"
Liz smiles "Now that's settled come in."
Tess smiles at her Mother in law Nick sighs "Mum take Harrison please I have to help Tess."
Liz smiles at his son and her daughter-in-law. Tess sighs and looks at Nick he nods at her "Ah Liz we have some news, really big news. I'm um 3 months pregnant."
Liz smiles at the young couple "Tess that's fantastic don't look so worried dear. Congratulations to the both of you."
Tess smiles "Thank you."
Liz hugs both Nick and Tess. Tess looks down at her feet and her heart drops down to her stomach as she waddles outside to find him crawling around in the grass she waddles over to him "Come on boots."
Nick follows her and races over to them "Silly little man aren't we you had Mummy worried come on."
Liz smiles "Tess dear you're a perfect Mother. Harrison isn't technically yours but you still race around after him even with your arm and leg everything you've been through."
Tess smiles "Yeah well he is now my little man."
Liz clears her throat "Listen Tess I'm sorry for all the hurt and pain I've caused you over the years and I should of realised you were right for my son all along you make him happy and you make him have a reason to live every day. Because he loves you and that little baby growing inside and I have learned that you are no longer a threat to our family and thank you for making my son happy and thank you for loving him for the way he is and thank you for never giving up on building a relationship with me. I can now see you are the right woman for my son."
Tess smiles as tears stroll down her cheeks "Liz I don't know what to say but thank you for finally giving me a chance."
Liz pats Tess on the arm "You have a big heart with a beautiful soul Tess."
Tess sighs "Nick I still can't believe she finally likes me after all these years she loves me like her own and it just took one thing to make her realise I was never a threat to anyone."
Nick smiles "Yeah our family is now perfect."
Tess nods "Yes."
