Chapter 9
One week later….
New Year's Eve has arrived; Jack and Cherry decided to plan a New Year's Eve party at their place. They invited everyone including their family members, wanting everyone who has been a huge part of their journey to come together and celebrate the new year.
"Princess, I cannot wait to see everyone here to celebrate the new year with us!" Jack told his wife.
"Me either, my love!" Cherry replied, excitedly.
"My parents cannot wait to hear the news about us expecting a baby." Jack replied.
"Wait a minute, you haven't told them yet, honey?" Cherry asked.
"I have been trying to tell them, princess, but I don't know how they will take the news. They have seen me at my lowest and want me to be happy." Jack told her.
"Aww, honey, I'm sure they will be so excited for you to tell them. Don't worry, I will be with you when you tell them." Cherry replied.
"I cannot thank you enough, my queen." Jack said, kissing her.
"You don't have to thank me my Scottish King. I am always with you, for better or for worse." Cherry replied, kissing him back.
"Okay then, it's settled. Tonight, I will tell them the news." Jack said.
"Awesome! Now let's order the food before everyone gets here." Cherry replied.
"Yes, Princess. Let's get the ball rolling." Jack told her, smirking.
After their talk, Jack and Cherry started ordering catering from Red Lobster. They ordered Shrimp Scampi, Shrimp Alfredo, Crab Alfredo, and Steak with fried shrimp. After ordering the food, they went upstairs to take their shower together. Even though Cherry is pregnant, Jack still manages to pleasure her in the shower. Thirty minutes later, they dried themselves off, got dressed and waited for the food and everyone to arrive. About an hour later, the food arrived, nice and hot. Jack and Cherry set the food up on their kitchen counter for everyone, arranged the plastic plates, forks, spoons, and napkins and put drinks in the refrigerator. Jack bought the champagne and took out the shot glasses. Just as they were done setting up, everyone arrived.
Christine and Sheamus arrived with Christine's mom, Drew, Christina, and Angela arrived with her parents and grandmother, Denise and Randy arrived with their parents, both Jack and Cherry's parents have entered the house a few minutes later. They greeted each other, very excited about celebrating the new year with their loved ones. Angela reached out to Cherry, and she bombed her with hugs and kisses.
"My sweet Angela, you are looking more beautiful every day!" Cherry told her.
"This sweet little lass will be breaking hearts when she gets older." Jack replied.
"Without a doubt!" Christine agreed.
"Also, she will learn the brogue kick from her uncle Sheamus." Sheamus added.
"After she learns the claymore from me first." Drew chimed in.
"Must it always be a competition between you two?" Christina asked, laughing.
"That's what keeps us going, my love. We will always bug each other like brothers." Drew told her.
"Exactly! It's all out of love, plus I'll tell him to bugger off every now and then." Sheamus said, laughing.
"Go bugger off." Drew told Sheamus. They started laughing and bumped each other. Angela started to cry, Cherry smelled her diaper and senses that she needs to be changed. Cherry gave Angela to Christina, took the diaper bag, went upstairs, and changed her diaper. Five minutes later they came back downstairs. Christina put Angela down and everyone watched her walking small steps towards both Drew and Sheamus. She started going towards Sheamus, but then she reached for Drew, and he picked her up. Everyone cheered, and Drew showered his daughter with kisses.
Five minutes later, everyone started to get their plates and pick their choices of food to eat. Once everyone took their portions, they divided where they were going to be sitting; Drew, Christina, Angela, Jack, Cherry, Sheamus and Christine were eating at the dining room table, while the parents were eating at the bar. Before Cherry moved in, Jack installed a bar for extra guests to sit, eat and drink. About twenty minutes later, everyone finished their meals, discarded their plates, gathered around in the living room, because Jack and Cherry are getting ready to reveal the news to his parents.
"First off, I want to thank everyone for coming. What a year it has been for all of us!" Cherry started to say.
"Absolutely, princess. Now it is time to announce some news." Jack added.
"Mum, Dad, there is something I have to tell you." Jack said, feeling nervous.
"What's the news, son?" Jack's dad replied.
"My lovely wife, my queen and I are… having a baby." Jack told them.
"Oh my God!" Jack's mom said, happily. "My baby is having a baby!"
"Congratulations, son! Your mum and I cannot wait to meet our grandbaby!" Jack's dad said. His parents came up to hug both Jack and Cherry. Everyone clapped and cheered. After revealing the news, music was playing, everyone started dancing, having a wonderful time. It was 11:30PM, which means it's almost time to ring in the new year. Jack and Cherry started setting up the shot glasses to fill them with champagne. Everyone started counting down.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone cheered, hugged, and kissed each other. Angela received loads of hugs and kisses. Jack and Cherry gathered everyone to the bar, gave them shot glasses of champagne. Angela was drinking from her bottle. Everyone toasted each other for a healthy, happy, and wonderful new year. Christina did a video call to her brother, and aunt, wishing them a happy new year. Jack's parents hugged their son and Cherry, very excited to see their grandchild. A few minutes later, everyone was saying their goodbyes and were heading home. Jack and Cherry couldn't be happier to start off the new year, married and expecting their baby. Out of nowhere, Jack kissed his wife, carried her to their bedroom, closed the door and decided to start the new year the way they know how.
One month later…
Sheamus was playing with his dogs in the living room. After playing with them, he went upstairs to check on his fiancé, when he heard her in the bathroom, throwing up. Panicking, Sheamus went inside to check up on her. He got her up, helped her go to the sink to wash her face, and sat her down on their bed.
"My sweet lass, you haven't been feeling well lately." Sheamus told her with concern in his voice.
"Baby, I don't know what's going on." Christine told him. "The funny thing is, I haven't got my period within a month."
"Could you possibly be pregnant, love?" Sheamus asked her.
"I don't know, baby. It's a big possibility." Christine told him.
"Well then love, I'm calling the doctor to make an appointment. I am not taking any chances." Sheamus said.
"Okay, my handsome white chocolate." Christine agreed.
Sheamus kissed her and called the doctor's office to make an appointment for tomorrow morning at 9:30AM. Christine went downstairs to check on the dogs, while Sheamus called Drew, Jack, and Randy to inform their wives about her not feeling well and her doctor's appointment. Once he finished talking to them, he went downstairs to join her with their dogs. He was contemplating the thought of seeing his fiancé pregnant with his baby. It brought a huge smile to his face, although he will have to wait and see when they go to the doctor's office the next day.
Chapter 10 is up next!
