Chapter 21
Amber POV
I woke up alone this morning, Alfie was back at work. I picked up Annabella from her cot and walked to the living room to see Nina, Fabian and Addy already downstairs on the sofa. Nina's bruise was really big and showed from underneath her fringe.
"Morning" I said putting Annabella down. She ran to sit with Addy.
"Morning Amber, sleep well" Fabian asked with his arm around Nina.
"You ok Neens?" she nodded sadly.
"She didn't sleep last night" Fabian said.
"Oh Nina, is it because of you're head?"
"Yep, it feels like I am being slammed against a brick wall" Nina sighed.
"I will pick you up some pain killers when I take Annabella for her jabs"
"Thanks Ambs" Nina let out a weak smile.
"So when are you going baby shopping?"
"I don't know really"
"How about later, I will help"
"Thanks Amber she needs cheering up, I have to go to work" Fabian gave Nina a small kiss and walked out.
"Got any names?" I tried to make a conversation.
"Cooper, his middle name will defiantly be something like Horus or Anubis. I also like the name Mason and Brodie" Nina said. She didn't seem herself.
"I love the name Brodie!"
"So do I, cooper was my dad's name"
"Aww Nina, you never talk about them, what were they like?"
"My mum was called Alice, she had light brown hair like me and big blue eyes and my dad had blonde hair and brown eyes. My dad used to call me nini Nina because my old best friend used to call me a nini when I messed up. When they died I used to go in there room and lay in there bed in case they came back" tears started to run down Nina's cheek.
"I'm sorry Nina; I shouldn't have brought it up"
"No, its ok, it feels good to talk about" I went up and hugged Nina tightly and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Now go get dressed, you and Addy can come with me to the doctors and then we are going baby shopping" I pulled her up out the sofa.
"Amber I don't wanna"
"That weird ghost thing will come"
"I'll get dressed" Nina said picking up Addy and walked upstairs quickly.
I took Annabella and put her in a small summer dress with a pink headband and her little sandals. I put on my skinny jeans and my white top. Nina came down and was wearing a purple fluffed top and some leggings and Addy was wearing a flowered top and some jeggings. Her make up covered her bruise a little more.
"Ready?" I asked Nina. She nodded and walked out the door. I locked it behind me and we drove to the doctors and sat in the waiting room. We all went in with Annabella.
"So finally time for you're jabs Annabella" the doctor said cheerfully. She nodded and swung her legs of the chair. "What happened to you're head?" the doctor looked at Nina.
"Hit my head" Nina lied, what was she supposed to say? 'well I am the chosen one and were looking for something for a ghost, oh and by the way my baby has grown 5 months in a day'. Yeah, right!
"Would you like me to take a look?"
"Sure, thanks" the doctor pressed against her head, making her squeal quietly every time.
"That is badly bruised, I will give you painkillers"
"Thanks"
"Now, over to Annabella" the doctor gave her the jabs, she didn't cry, or shout or anything. I was very proud off my little angel.
"Thank you" I said picking Annabella of the small chair and carrying her out. We picked up Nina's prescription at the front desk and headed into town. We put them in the pushchairs and walked to the nearest baby store
"We could of used Addy's stuff, but he is a boy so we can't" Nina sighed.
"That means more shopping" I said. Nina smiled at me and we walked in to a shop.
"OMG I love this" I said pointing out a mosses basket. It was cream and had teddy bears all over it. "And it has a matching bedroom!"
"That's so cool Ambs!" Nina said feeling the quilt.
"Yay, so we buy this?"
"Not all yet Amber, just the mosses basket and furniture ok? We will come back for the rest when he is older"
"Ok, anyway, next stop, clothes!" I said in excitement. Then Nina's phone rang and she walked of the answer it.
