Chapter 2
"Hey guys." We all turned from Indie to see two familiar faces. "Sorry were late!"
It was Harry and his long-term girlfriend Isabelle, or Izzie as we called her for short.
They walked over to our table and gave Tom and Indie a huge hug.
"What did we miss?" Izzie asked Dougie.
"Indie was just about to tell us some very important news that she got from the doctor." Dougie replied worryingly.
Harry's face dropped. "Well, what is it?"
"Well……" Tom began.
"Here's your Thai Green Curry ma'am. Sorry for the wait." The waiter interrupted.
It was all Ciara's fault that he interrupted anyway because she always ordered something awkward.
"Sorry guys." Ciara said to us all shyly. "Continue Thomas."
"As I was saying……"
"Hey waiter, can I have another round of drinks please?" Dan said like he was afraid that the restaurant would run out of beverages in the next ten minutes.
"Are you guys finished?" Indie snapped.
"Yup." Danny and Ciara said sarcastically, then to look at each other and laughed like children.
"Well," Indie sighed. "As you all know I collapsed last week and was taken to the A&E by Tom. Well I wasn't sick, well not really." Indie began to smile.
"When we got there I asked the doctor to check on Indie's stomach." Tom continued finishing off Indie's explanation to us. "And when the doctor preformed the ultrasound we got a surprise of not only one heartbeat but three!"
"Oh my God……triplets." I said excited and shocked.
"Duh, thanks for stating the obvious Rachael." Ciara said sarcastically laughing at me.
"Congratulations!!!!" We all said.
Me and Danny dibbed Godparents because we've known Tom and Indie the longest. Carrie and Dave are the second set of godparents because Carrie is Tom's sister and Dave is his cousin but they were always like brothers.
"What about the third baby? That's lousy!" Ciara said giving the impression that they forgot about their third unborn child.
"Ciara we know, we haven't forgotten." Indie said like she was talking to a child. (Well in some ways she was.) "But how can I decide between you guys?"
"Easy. Pick me!" Ciara said like Harry and Izzie weren't there. "And Doug, I suppose."
Dougie put his hand on hers. This was his little way of letting her know that she's out of line.
"It's okay. Pick them." Harry said emotionlessly.
We all looked at him in shock expecting him to at least put a fight.
Danny was about to say something when Harry got up and left with Izzie following not far behind.
Indies' POV
After I said goodbye to everyone and left them in the hotel bar, celebrating the agony that I would endure in four months while Tom looked on, I went to Harry's room.
I was nervous about the conversation we were about to have.
That nervousness eased a little when the elevator doors opened to reveal Izzie.
"How is he?" I said to her full of concern.
"I don't know. He won't talk about it. Sorry for ruining your night."
"Don't worry about it. The guys are in the bar if you don't want to be alone." I said to hurry her along so I could get this chat with Harry over and done with.
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow?" Izzie finally said.
"Sure." I replied and stepped into the elevator.
I knocked on Harry's hotel door until he answered.
"We need to talk." I said looking at Harry.
"Come in." Harry said to me looking at the ground.
