"Flora, open mine next." Stella asked. Today was my baby shower. Stella and the others had organised it for me. Helia wanted to be there to care for me but I told him to have fun with the other boys and that Stella wouldn't want him at the shower anyway. It took a lot of convincing to get him to go. I was four months along with my pregnancy. The girls kept bugging me to find out what gender the baby was but I wanted it to be a surprise and so did Helia, although I'm pretty sure he's dying to find out what gender the baby is. I picked up the present with bright yellow wrapping paper. Classic Stella. As I was opening the present, the home phone rang. I knew who it was though

"Flora speaking"

"Hey honey, how are you holding up?" yep it was Helia, just as I predicted it would be.

"I'm fine Helia. Stop worrying." I said gently

"I won't stop worrying until my child is safely delivered, healthy and in your arms." Helia was such as sweetie and I loved him for it.

"Are you and the boys having fun? Where are you?" I asked. Stella and Bloom began laughing so I shushed them

"Well at the moment, we are looking after Emily. One minute were sitting down eating lunch at Swish and in pops Emily. She ran straight to Sky and hugged him and then yelled at him for not giving her a goodbye hug this morning." I look around and find that Emily isn't in the kitchen with the other children; Laurel and Samuel, Lucille and Clair, Flynn, Chloe, John. I give a slight chuckle and hold the phone away from me.

"Uh Bloom, Helia tells me that Emily with them chastising Sky?" She looks over to the children and her face is full of worry.

"I'll be right back." I put the phone back to my ear and chuckle again "Bloom's on her way."

"Yeah, she's here right now talking to Sky, with Emily in her arms. Now be careful and don't do anything that could damage the baby."

"Helia, don't worry. I'm fine. I'll see you tonight. I love you"

"I love you too Flora." I hang up the phone and head back to my seat.

"Isn't that the fifth time he has called you today? Layla asks

"No it's the sixth actually" Tecna says.

"He thinks I'm as fragile as glass. Like I'm going to break at any minute." I say continuing to open Stella's present.

"Tell me about it. When I was pregnant, Brandon wouldn't let me do a thing. I was brought breakfast in bed every day, was only allowed to leave the house if he was with me and he never let me go Winx. Not once during those dull nine months. I was missing all the action." Stella complained

"Yeah but what if you got hurt while in action? Something could have happened to the twins." Layla said.

"I guess so. I'm just glad that I finally have my little darlings with me and not in my stomach. Now will please open my present already."

I ripped off the wrapping paper and there was a tiny box. Inside was a tiny rattle.

"Thank you Stella." I said

"It sings when the baby jiggles it. And it glows in the dark so there will always be light wherever there is darkness." Stella explained.

"Here's mine Flora." Musa said handing me her present. I opened it and inside was a small bib which said 'I'm a Winx Fairy.' It was so cute.

"Musa it's wonderful. Thank you."

"I had it specially made so that it can change if the baby turns out to be a boy. Watch" Musa said the word boy and the writing on the bib now said 'I'm a Specialist'

"Thank you Musa." I put the bib with the other presents. Bloom had given me a power control bracelet. It was child proof so that the baby couldn't use accidental magic and Layla had given me sea shell set sensor so I could hear my baby crying from whichever room I was in.

"Here's my gift to you Flora." Tecna said. I opened the present and inside was a cute photo frame with one large square and two smaller squares.

"Thank you Tecna."

"It changes photos when you want it to. It's similar to a digital frame on Earth."

"Alright, now that we have done the pressies, it time for some cake." Stella conjured a chocolate cake from my kitchen and bought it in.

"Cake!" Flynn screamed pointing towards his mother. Every child looked over to Stella and jumped off their chairs and ran over.

"Now hold on, you will all get a piece if it is alright with you mother." Stella said putting the plate holding the cake on the table. Each child went up to their mother and asked for cake.

"Stella I really shouldn't. It wouldn't be healthy and what would Helia say." Flora objected.

"He isn't here so it doesn't matter but he would say, go ahead and have some cake before Stella force feeds you. I baked this cake, all of it from scratch. Well Flynn helped a little but it was mostly me."

"Ok Stella I'll have some please." While Stella was cutting the cake, the phone rang again. I went to grab it but Musa beat me too.

"Ok look its Helia again." She answered the phone.

"Hi Helia."

"Musa, where Flora?"

"She's fine before you ask. We're just having cake. Will you quit worrying? Now we have a shower to get back to. Bye Helia." Musa hung up the phone and put it down.

"Great job Musa" Stella laughed. "Now who wants cake?"

Line Break

"Alright see you tomorrow Flora." Layla said as she left with Nabu and Chloe.

"Bye." I closed the door and walked back to the kitchen where Helia was waiting.

"Is everyone gone now?" Helia asked

"Yes"

"Good, now I want you to sit down and relax. You've had a tiring day." I quietly laughed and sat down.

"And how was your day?"

"It was good. We just hung out and talked about their families; well the guys did. Whining about how annoying and frustrating they could be but how they loved their kids. Riven told me how pregnant women are really hard to live with." Helia came over with our dinner and the plates down.

"Really? I wonder what Musa would say about that?" I giggled again.

"But I don't care. We're having a child and that's all that matters. I love you and our baby." To illustrate his point, Helia kissed my slightly bulging stomach.

"I can't wait to have our baby." I said "I've been thinking of names, I want to know what you think of them. If it's a girl, I want to call her Belle and if it's a boy I want him to be called Lucas."

"I love both those names."

"What do you want the baby to be Helia; a boy or a girl?"

"I want it to be a girl, so I can spoil her rotten."

"Well we'll find out soon enough." I pull him closer and place my lips on his. My mind drifts back to when I got pregnant with this baby. Four months ago.
