I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn't wear this dress, it was too tight now. I growled in frustration as Tom came in

"Uh oh" He closed the door "Doesn't fit?"

"It does" I sighed "But you can see my bump"

"Well..." Tom smiled "... I have someone who can help" He opened my door, then entered Carrie

"Never fear, Aunt Carrie is here!" She declared

"Carrie, stop calling yourself that" Tom said "Now please make her feel good about herself" He kissed me and patted his sister on the head "See you later ladies" He closed my door

Carrie hugged me, smiling "How you doing?"

"Felt better, felt far worse" I smiled "Sure I can deal with it"

She was still smiling "Good. Now, what shall we do with you?" She lifted a strand of my hair "You're hair is fine. Clothes, loose but party, comfy but not lazy" She ripped open my wardrobe and went through my clothes. Eventually, she pulled out a black, three quarter length sleeved dress "Put that on" She threw it at me "You need sensible but pretty shoes"

"Would it be ok if I put some leggings on aswell?" I said "Just if I go outside I'll freeze"

She looked me up and down "Leggings is fine"

I pulled the outfit on, then allowed her to do my make up. I was starting to not feel so good again, but kept quiet as she would only get Tom and he would worry

"There we go" She smiled again "All finished"

Despite how I felt, I smiled too, it was the best I'd ever looked, Carrie really should make a career out of this.

"All ready to go downstairs?"

"And have to fake reasons for why I'm not drinking?" I said "Of course I am" I opened my door and allowed her to go out first.

The music got louder with each step down, it was hurting my head already, the smell of alcohol was making me dizzy, I was shaking but stayed quiet.

At the bottom of the stairs, Carrie turned to look at me, she frowned "Are you ok?"

I forced a smile "Fine"

"Hmmm... I think me and Tom will be keeping an eye on you"

"You don't have to" I still had the fake smile on my face "I'm fine"

We walked down the stairs and in to the dining room, this was where the main party was, with the choice of going into the living room, kitchen or garden for quiet.

Tom winked at me and smiled from across the room, I felt myself blush as Carrie continued to drag me over to Vicky.

I stood quietly as the two had a conversation, I wasn't even sure what it was about, I was too busy catching Tom's eye across the room.

I still couldn't believe it had happened. All of this, being Dougie's sister, meeting the guys, everything that had happened... for a second my hand rested on my tiny bump.

"So, Belle" Vicky said "What do you want to do tonight?"

I shrugged "What do you guys usually do at parties?"

"Dance" They said together

"Dancing it is then"

Vicky ran off towards the dancing area. Carrie grabbed my arm "Are you feeling well enough to dance?"

I nodded "Sure, I'll be fine"

But boy was I wrong.

I sat on the sofa after reluctantly dancing with Carrie and Vicky for what felt like hours.

I felt sick to my stomach, dizzy and exhausted, I could really use some sleep, like for a whole day, but I couldn't, not at ten thirty on New Years Eve.

Debbie, Tom's mum, sat beside me "Are you alright sweetheart? You look a bit peaky"

"I'll be honest" Now even my voice was shaking "I feel horrible"

"Have you eaten?" She asked me

"Yes, I just really need some sleep" I put my head in my hands "But its New Years Eve"

"If you aren't feeling well, I really think you'd be better off going to bed"

"But I can't, I went to bed early on my birthday" I folded my arms over my stomach "I can't"

"Well ok" She sighed "Do you want a glass of water?"

"Yes please" I paused. Maybe going for a lie down was a good idea, if I felt this bad, the baby might be affected soon "I think I'll go lie down though, just for awhile"

"Good idea" She patted my knee "I'll bring it up"

"Thank you"

My legs wobbled as I stood up, desperately trying not to let it show, I held on to things as I walked, everything spun uncontrollably.

I fell on to the stairs, pain in my stomach. People gasping, several people saying my name... it all went black
