CHAPTER THIRTEEN!
The next morning Heidi and Jordan arrived at the Gallagher's house, they entered the house to find that Lara had dressed and bathed little Sadie. Her hair was combed up with two pig tails and she had a pink and white little dress that came just above her knees. Sadie went crawling up to Heidi and Jordan. Jordan picked her up and spun her around before giving her a big kiss on her cheek.
"Did you have fun with the girls and boys?" Heidi asked grabbing Sadies bag. Sadie had a huge grin and was nodding her head up and down.
"Go and give them a hug" Jordan said putting Sadie on the ground. Chase and Lara crouched down with their arms wide open, so Sadie knew what to do. She went crawling over to Chase first who picked her up.
"*cough* Favouritism *cough*" Chase coughed jokingly around
Sadie then reached her arms out for Lara who gave her a big hug and handed her to Dean then onto Lachie. Sadie was sitting on the ground starring at everyone above her smiling when Lara remembered something that she took.
"Don't go I've got the camera. I took the cutest photo of Sadie and he god father last night..It was so unbelievably cute!" Lara couldn't get a bigger grin on her face. She rushed to get the camera and then handed it over to Heidi
"Oh-my-god!" Heidi shouted "That is so cute!" She put the camera in her bag and said her thankyou's for helping look after Sadie.
Jordan turned to face Heidi "Babe…?" Jordan asked nervously making Heidi turn to face him, she was gob smacked when she turned to see Jordan on one knee looking up at her
Lara was gripping onto Dean's arm almost cutting off the circulation "Oh-my-god. Oh-my-god" Lara said quietly but loud enough for Dean to here
"Heidi Wilson..I love you so, so much. I want to be with you for ever and ever, I want to make another Sadie with you, I want you to be my beautiful wife Heidi. I love you so much and I never want to be without you, I want you to be forever by my side" Jordan said as tears formed in Heidi's eyes
"Yes…a million time yes Jordan!" Heidi shouted out crying. Jordan placed the ring on her finger and picked her up spinning her around before lifting her onto his waist and giving her a kiss
"Wooo!" Lara, Chase, Dean and Lachie shouted excited as they clapped their hands. Lara ran over to Heidi and pulled her hand up close to her face so she could inspect the new ring
Lara gasped "Heidi. It's so beautiful, I'm so happy for you!" Lara smiled and gave her best friend a hug before.
"Congratulations mate. I was wondering when you were going to drop the M bomb" Chase laughed as he gave Jordan a friendly hug before he turned and walked up to Heidi. "Congratulations Heid. You're gonna make a beautiful bride" Chase smiled at his best friend. Dean and Lachie continued on giving out their congratulations while Sadie was crawling around their feet.
"You are the best man Chase. So you better organise one hell of a party for me!" Jordan laughed
"Funny. You better not get hurt" Heidi glared at the boys
"Well, I'll organise one hell of a hens party" Lara smirked.
"We better get going or were going to be late" Dean said. Jordan had the day off today and it was Heidi's turn to go into work. Dean, Chase, Lachie, Lara and Heidi all arrived at the station. Heidi went running up the stairs were she was greeted by Michelle and Vince
"I'm engaged!" She shouted
"Oh-my-god Heidi. That's fantastic!" Michelle hugged Heidi tightly before she returned her attention to checking out the beautiful ring on her finger
"Heidi-ho" Vince said appearing behind her "congratulations" he smiled down at Heidi before giving her a fatherly hug. Vince always thought of Heidi as is daughter and was always there and secretly looking out for her, he felt the need to be the fatherly figure to her at work.
After a long and eventful day at work, Heidi was buggered. She was getting dressed in the changing rooms when she heard a little voice she turned to see her little girl crawling towards her. "Hey baby girl" Heidi said as she lifted Sadie up and propped her onto her hip. Sadie put her hands up onto Heidi's face and started stroking her mummy's face. "How was she today?" Heidi asked
"She was good, we went to the park and had fun. She had a good nap, she was sad when you left though" Jordan said as he took a seat on the chair
"Did she cry?" Heidi asked as she handed Sadie back to Jordan to finish getting her stuff together
"Yeah, she did. Not for long though. Tomorrow will probably be worse" Jordan said concerned as he helped Sadie stand on her feet in front of him
"She'll be fine Jord. We have to get her into it, she needs to make friends" Heidi explained as she picked up her bag.
Jordan took Heidi's bag out of her hands and gave Sadie to her. "Can you say mumma?" Heidi asked fixing up Sadies top where the button had come undone. Sadie just looked up at Heidi with a confused look in her eyes "mumma?" Heidi asked again
"Don't worry babe she'll say it soon" Jordan said as they walked out of the changing rooms
"Bye!" Heidi and Jordan shouted to her friends as they walked down the stairs
"See ya" They shouted back
"Try not to cry too much tomorrow" Michelle shouted laughing. She knew that they would each shed a tear at some stage.
Later that evening at the Gallagher house hold
"Why don't you just ask Lara out?" Lachie asked Dean as they walked into the house
"Dean's too scared won't confess it to her" Chase replied
"Coming from you Chase" Dean glared as he threw his car keys across the bench
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chase asked scowling
"You can't even have a stable relationship for a week Chase. The amount of girls you've been out with and haven't taken it serious. You fall in love too easy" Dean replied, while Lachie stood back and totally out of it
"Shut up Dean!" Chase shouted back
"And your still living with me" Dean said fiercely
"So what? So is Lachie" Chase replied as he pointed towards his brother
"Not for 4 or how many years it is" Dean said angered
"You know what?" Chase asked "I'll go, that's what you want! I'm sick of you making stupid jokes about it, I'll go then!" Chase added shouting he started walking past Lachie but Lachie gripped his arm and swung him around making Chase angrier
"Just settle down Bro" Lachie said
"Just piss off!" Chase shouted angered pulling out of Lachie's grip. He walked out of the house leaving Dean shaking his head
Lachie went to follow "Leave him Lachie...His always doing this. He'll come back either tonight or tomorrow morning, most likely so smashed will have to pull him out of the taxi…Just wait for it" Dean said stopping Lachie
A Heidi and Jordan's apartment
"How's my beautiful fiancée?" Jordan asked as he snuggled up to her on the couch
"Good, I love you Jordan" Heidi said as she placed her head in Jordan's lap and lied down on the couch. Not long after Jordan was watching TV. and stroking Heidi's hair when Sadie started crying. He gently lifted Heidi's head of his lap and smoothly placed it back onto the couch. He walked into his little girl's room and picked her up out of the cot. He carried her over to the change table and carefully changed Sadie's nappy. He walked to the rocking chair that was sitting against the wall, he sat back into it and started to rock Sadie back to sleep, slowly drifting off to sleep himself. Sadie had her tiny grip on Jordan's top as she held onto her father for protection.
The next morning
Heidi woke up to see Jordan wasn't still with her, she got up off the couch and walked into Sadie's room, where she saw them both fast asleep. She gently took Sadie out of Jordan's arms and back into the crib. She went and sat on Jordan's lap, she started kissing him to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Heidi sitting in front of him kissing him
"Good, you're up" Heidi said smiling
"Yeah, I guess I am" Jordan smirked
"You get breakfast and yourself ready, I'll get Sadie ready we have a big morning together babe" Heidi said smiling and giving him a kiss before she got up and went to go have a shower.
At the Gallagher's
Lachie woke up to the bright light that appeared in his window, he walked out to the kitchen where Dean was already up and reading the paper.
"You're up early for someone having an RDO"
Lachie looked around the house "Where's Chase?" he asked concerned
Dean shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno Lachie"
Lachie looked unimpressed "Well, have you tried to call him?" he asked frantically looking for his phone
Dean looked up at Lachie "Of course I have" he said angered. After several phone calls Lachie tried to make, there was still no response. A few minutes later they heard knocking at the door, they quickly got up and sprinted to the door to be greeted by two police officers.
"Which one of you is Gallagher?" Police officer Tyrone asked
"I am" The boys both said in sync as they raised their hands
"What's wrong?" Dean asked concerned
"Your brother Chase, is in the back" The police officer said pointing towards the car. Lachie rushed passed the police officers
"What's he done wrong?" Dean asked unimpressed
The police officer sighed "Got into a fight with a bouncer, his pretty intoxicated. Passed out in the back"
"Bloody idiot" Dean mumbled to himself before walking off to where Lachie was pulling Chase out of the car. Lachie hooked his arms under Chase's arm pits while Dean lifted up Chase legs. They walked him into the house and onto the couch.
"Chase?" Lachie asked as he turned Chase's face to check the bruise forming on the side of his face
"I've got to go to work" Dean said as he picked up his wallet and his keys and headed for the door
"Dean!" Lachie shouted catching up to him at the door
"What?" Dean asked turning around
"You're just going to leave him?" Lachie asked
"Well, you're here aren't you?" Dean asked rhetorically before he turned on his heel and walked out the door. Lachie sighed and went back inside
Aussie Kids Child Care Centre
"Looks okay" Jordan said as he walked into the centre holding Sadie on his waist whose big blue eyes were looking around confused at the place she wasn't used to
"Jordan, its fine" Heidi said as they stood at the front office waiting for the director
"Hi, I'm Felicity Green. I'm the Director" She said extending her hand for Jordan and Heidi to shake
"I'm Heidi this is my soon to be husband Jordan and this is Sadie" Heidi introduced her family to the Director
"Follow me and I'll introduce you to the group leader and assistants in Sadie's room" Felicity said ushering them to follow her. They walked by several rooms before coming to a stop, Felicity opened the gate into the room that already contained 4 children in it.
"This is Sharnie…She's the group leader. Over there with little Addison is Monique and Lacey's behind in the kitchen" Felicity said introducing the family
"Alright, so when you feel ready you can leave her. Trust me she'll be fine" Felicity told them trying to ease their concerns.
Jordan was holding onto Sadie, whose little hands were gripping onto Jordan's top.
"Come here Sadie, give mummy a kiss" Heidi said taking Sadie out of Jordan's arms. Sadie put her forehead against Heidi's and gave her a little kiss on the lips "Love you baby girl" Heidi said before handing her back to Jordan
Sadie began to know something was wrong. Jordan held her tight and gave her several kisses before putting her on the ground. Sadie began to cry and Jordan picked her back up "Maybe it's not a good time just yet Heid"
Heidi took a crying Sadie out of Heidi's arms "No Jord. This is the right time…We have to okay" Sadie was squirming and reaching her arms out for Jordan "You're such a Daddy's girl aren't you babe" Heidi added. She handed Sadie over to Sharnie and Heidi slowly backed out of the room "Love you baby girl" Heidi said waving goodbye
"Love you sade" Jordan said blowing a kiss as a tear trickled down his face. They shut the gate behind them
"Don't look back babe" Heidi said as she clung onto Jordan's hand. Jordan kept his focus straight ahead. They hopped into their car and drove off. After driving for 20 minutes they arrived at the station
"Awh. Here's Mum and Dad" Dean shouted so everyone knew they had arrived
"Was starting to think that maybe you two chickened out" Michelle said laughing
"Dad over here nearly did" Heidi said elbowing Jordan
"Are those glassy eyes I see Jordan?" Vince asked peering into Jordan's eyes
"No" Jordan said turning around
"Ah ha!" Vince shouted
"What?" Jordan asked
"You cried! You're an even bigger baby than your baby!" Vince chuckled to himself before he walked off and behind his computer.
"Leave him alone" Heidi smiled "Sadie's such a Daddy's girl. She's got Jordan wrapped around her little finger"
(..)
"Go have a shower Chase..You stink like a brewery" Lachie said chucking a towel on Chase
"Ok" Chase simply said
"You can't just run off every time you get pissed off Chase!" Lachie shouted
