Chapter Twelve (Emily)

"Panda will you get out of the fucking bathroom already!"

I pressed my lips together trying to stop myself from laughing as i watched Katie practically jumping up and down whilst banging furiously on the bathroom door. For the past month Katie has started getting those mood swings you hear about. One minute she'll be all happy and smiley about being pregnant and the next she will be hitting Cook over the head with a cushion for not buying the right flavour of Pringles. She's been crying a lot lately as well. According to Effy, when Katie visited her and Freddie she cried for about half an hour because Freddie told her that they'd run out of tea bags.

Right now Katie is in a bad mood. She walked through the door about 10 minutes ago and immediately bit my head off, shouting something about how she and cook were getting a divorce and she never wanted to see his tiny twatty cock ever again. That's another thing about Katie's mood swings; she keeps deciding that she and Cook are getting divorced over very stupid little things. I was round at mum and dad's last week and Katie slapped Cook and told him he would never be a good father because he had eaten her last packet of fruit pastilles. Of course it doesn't last for long, it usually ends with Katie round at halls with me crying about how much she loves him and how amazing a dad he's going to be.

I'm getting a bit sick and tired of it to be honest. Naomi just keeps on telling me to hang in there and that there is only 2 months left until the baby is born and then i get to be Aunty Emily. Although I've tried many times over the past few months to hide my excitement over having a niece or nephew, I seem to have failed miserable. I wish Katie and Cook would tell me if its a boy or a girl, every single time anyone has asked they have changed the subject and if i ask them if they have thought of any names, trying to make them slip up, Katie comes out with names like Alex and Sam and Cameron, names that can be for both a boy and a girl.

The bathroom door opens and Pandora stands in the doorway looking in a way, petrified of Katie's angry wrath, a towel wrapped round her head.

"Bloomin heck Katie, you can't half make a racket banging on that door, I've got a date with Thomas in an hour and i have to make sure i look tickety-boo"

"Yeah you would make a racket as well if you had a small person inside you using your bladder as a squeezy stress ball, now move"

Pandora walks off to her room and I'm sat drinking my tea, preparing myself for whatever mood my sister will be in when she gets out of the bathroom. My phone vibrates on the table and the familiar sound of Naomi's personal ring tone fills the room. I feel the smile come onto my face as i slide my phone up.

"Hey you"

"Hey Ems, i miss you"

"i miss you too, what are you doing, whats that noise?" there is a weird cheering sound in the background

"I'm watching bring it on"

"oh i forgot about how bad your taste in films is"

"Hey its a classic teen movie!" I cannot believe she just called bring it on a classic

"yeah yeah whatever, anyways I can't wait for this weekend" the phone line suddenly goes silent "Naomi?"

"listen Ems, about this weekend..." oh for fuck sake not again

"don't tell me your cancelling on me again Naomi"

"I'm so sorry baby but i have a huge essay to be in for Monday and I haven't got time to do it tomorrow or Thursday because I'm working at the bar and i need the weekend to do it, please understand emsy"

I let out a deep sigh and nod before i remember she can't actually see me

"of course i understand if you have to work, you have to work"

"your the best, I love you"

"I love you too but if you don't come down next weekend I swear I will come up to Manchester, drag you back down to Bristol and keep you hostage in my wardrobe and only let you out when i need seeing to"

She laughs at my threat. God her laugh is adorable

"Yes Ma'am" We're both laughing now and Its making me miss her even more

"EMS GET IN HERE NOW" Katie suddenly screams from the bathroom and it doesn't sound good

"Naomi i've got to go Katie needs me I love you bye" I hang up the phone before she has a chance to reply and run into the bathroom to find Katie double over the sink with a look of immense pain on her face.

"Ems i think somethings wrong, I've been having stomach pains for the last couple of days but i thought it was just you know wind or stomach cramps but now.." She can't even finish what she's saying as she lets out a cry of pain

"For fuck sake Katie you should have said something, this might sound weird coming from your sister but have you checked yourself, are you bleeding or anything" I look away as Katie sits down on the toilet and checks. She shows me her hand and her finger tips are glistening with blood "Holy shit we need to get you to a hospital and fast ok"

She's panting to try and stop the pain and she trys to talk to me between breaths

"Call...Cook...I....need....him"

"I'll call him on the way to the hospital now lets go"

I put my arm around her and lead to walk out the door when i jump back.

Katie's water has broken

"Shit come on" I drag her as quickly as i can to the front door and I thank god my flat is on the ground floor.

It may be crazy, It may be too months early but whether Katie wants it to or not, this baby is coming, and its coming quickly. This cannot be good.

I put her in the back seat and set off for the hospital, driving as fast as i can. I pull out my phone and hastily dial cooks number

"Alright Ems"

"COOK YOU NEED TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW, KATIE'S WATERS BROKE AND I THINK THE BABYS COMING"

"what? Holy fuck i'm on my way, is she ok?" he sounds really worried and vulnerable

"NOT REALLY JUST GET TO THE HOSPITAL" I hang up the phone as Katie crys to me that it hurts

"Ems its too early, its too early for the baby to come yet"

"I know I know" I reach back and grab her hand and squeeze it gently "were almost there"

"Promise me its gunna be ok Ems"

"Katie..I" I can't promise her that, if this baby is premature then that's never good

"EMS JUST SAY IT PLEASE, PROMISE ME HE WILL BE OK"

He? I don't say anything for a second to take this in, a nephew, I'm gunna have a nephew

"EMILY!" she screams at me as i pull into the car park

I turn off the engine and turn to her grasping both her hands and urging her to look at me

"He will be ok, I promise you"

READ AND REVIEW, JUST BECAUSE I'VE PUT THAT THE BABY IS A BOY IN THIS DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE IGNORED YOUR REVIEWS!"
