This is Me
Chapter 20

Two months passed really quickly. Melody still had no idea where or when her baby shower was. One day Amy and Ricky told Melody and Chris that Melody was having a party at her house to celebrate the birth of her baby since it was her last one. Melody and Chris went along with it, they believed her.

When they got into Ashley's house, it seemed really quiet. Just then everyone seemed to pop out of thin air.

"Surprise!!" Everyone screamed.

Melody jumped back and almost fell over Chris. She smiled at him, this was finally it. They waited so long for the baby shower and it was finally here. Everyone immediately crowded around Melody. She felt so overwhelmed so quickly, she had to sit down.

After an hour of talking, it was time to eat. When Melody went to the food table, she saw all of her favorites. She knew the minute she saw the food that Amy either made it or told people what Melody's favorites were.

When Melody went back to her table, she smiled at what she saw. She saw her parents' talking and smiling. Melody watched as Chris played with her siblings, and she saw her two best friends Stephanie and Ashlee.

After everyone ate, it was time to play a game. In this game, everyone got to suggest names for the baby while Melody sat in the middle of the room and waited. When everyone finished she read each name.

20 minutes later, everyone finished writing the names down. Melody was excited to see what everyone suggested since she didn't have any ideas yet.

"Cassandra McDonald. Victoria McDonald. Alexandra McDonald. Taylor McDonald. Marisella McDonald. Bridget McDonald. Hannah McDonald. Jenessa McDonald. Isabella McDonald." Melody read a few of the names. She liked all of them but was still undecided.

Amy watched her daughter. She couldn't believe how grown up she looked. Amy just happened to look over at Chris and couldn't believe how happy he looks. She wondered if that's how Ricky would've looked if he went to her baby shower.

"Amy, I love you. Thank you so much for giving me Melody as my daughter." Ricky whispered into Amy's ear.

Amy smiled and kissed Ricky. "Thank you for choosing me to be your wife. I love you."

They sat there and smiled at each other. Neither Ricky or Amy knew what they wanted Melody to name their granddaughter. They knew that Melody had good taste in names so she'd name her something beautiful.

36 minutes later...

It was finally time for gifts, everyone's favorite part. For that part Melody had Chris' help. She opened the gifts and he threw out the wrapping paper or any other trash. The first gift she opened was from her mother and father. It was a five part gift. First, she saw the crib, followed by the bedding set, stroller, and bassinet.

Next she saw that Ashlee and Stephanie worked together to get her gift. It was everything for the baths. Melody smiled at them gratefully. She never expected them to do that for her.

When Melody finished, she realized that she had gotten everything she asked for, except the high chair. The high chair was her favorite thing that she picked out. Chris looked at Melody confused.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Chris asked worried.

Melody sighed. "I didn't get the high chair. You know that was my favorite."

Chris smirked. "Hold on, I'm sorry to leave you but I have to go to the bathroom."

Melody looked at Chris confused as he walked away. Everyone else seemed confused to. A few moments later, Chris came out with a box wrapped in the most beautiful wrapping paper Melody had ever seen. She smiled and unwrapped it as quickly as she could.

Right in front of Melody was the high chair she fell in love with. She looked at Chris and kissed him. This was the best day of her life so far. Melody never thought she could feel that much happiness in one day.
