Hey…don't kill me for that last cliffhanger o-o But on the Brightside, its finally the next chapter! AND IT'S LONGER! ;D Don't murder me…please! xD
Juliet's P.O.V.
I tried to tell him. I really tried! It's just hard to get it out. I kept stuttering in my words and sooner or later, I'm gonna go mad!
"You what, Juliet?" Gnomeo asked me, concerned. I froze again.
"I…uh…um…" Gosh, why was this so hard!? "I…I need some fresh air." I said, running out of the greenhouse.
"Juliet, wait!" he called. I didn't listen. I ran out by the pond and looked into it to see my reflection. I kneeled down and sighed.
"Come on, Juliet. You can do this. Just come right out and say it. You have to rip the bandage right off. Just say, 'Gnomeo, I'm pregnant!'" I said, talking to my reflection. I turned back to the greenhouse but I didn't notice that Gnomeo was right behind me! I jumped back in shock. Did he just hear everything?! Well, I guess he did cause his eyes grew wide and he froze. Great, now I'm in trouble.
"…Pregnant…? You're…you're pregnant…?" he whispered kneeling next to me. I nodded my head slowly. I was so scared of what he'd do.
"So…uh…what do you think…?" I asked, nervously. He got up out of the ground and looked me dead in the face.
"What do I think?" he asked as if it was a statement, not a question. He then smiled and picked me up and twirled me around, which made me squeal and giggle. He put me down and we both had the biggest smiles on our faces. "A baby. We're going to have a baby!" he said, excitedly.
"Yes, we are! And you're gonna be the best daddy around." I replied, smiling. I was relieved that he was just as excited about this as I was.
"I don't know why you were so nervous about telling me." he chuckled.
"Me neither. But now you know the good news." I smiled.
"Oh, Juliet, you have no idea how happy I am! I'm over the moon!" he laughed. I laughed along.
"Well that's good. Cause now I have more news." I informed him.
"Wow, first a baby, now this? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" he chuckled.
"No. I just wanted to tell you how much I love you." I told him, smiling.
"Well that's good news, cause I love you too." he smiled. I smiled too as our lips locked. I felt like the happiest gnome on earth. I only hope everyone else will be just as happy as we are.
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
I truly was over the moon! Juliet is pregnant and if she believes I'll be a great father, than I know I will. And she'll be the best mother around. No offence to my mom, of course. Speaking of my mom, I wonder how Juliet and I's parents and everyone will react.
"Oh, Juliet, we have to tell everyone!" I told her, not wiping the smile off my face.
"When?" she asked.
"How about tonight?"
"How about Friday?"
"Friday? Wait, why Friday?" I asked.
"Um, hello?" she said, gesturing to herself. I gave her a confusing look and she sighed. "My birthday." she informed, crossing her arms. I smiled.
"Jules, I was just kidding. Of course I remembered your birthday." I assured her. She looked at me like I was lying, which I wasn't. "If I forgot your birthday, would I have marked it on the calendar?" I asked, gesturing the calendar. She rolled her eyes but smiled.
"Okay, I believe you." she admitted, pulling me in for a hug. I couldn't wait for our little baby girl or boy to come. Of course, given I married Juliet and knowing this was gonna happen one day, I took into asking my mom about the 9-month-procidure. From the information I got, this was gonna be a loooooooooong 9 months. Then something popped in my head.
"Wait, Juliet, how long have you been pregnant?" I asked. She froze.
"Well, actually, it's already been about a month." she said nervously. "You aren't mad I didn't tell you sooner, are you?"
"Of course not. I'm just glad that we're having a baby!" I said loudly as I picked her up and twirled her around again. She laughed as I continued to twirl her.
"If you don't put me down, I'm going to get a headache from all this spinning!" she laughed. I listened and put her down. She grabbed the sides of my face and kissed me. I could tell that we both couldn't stop smiling. I can't wait to tell everyone!
...
Nanette's P.O.V.
Juliet's birthday was today! I can't wait to surprise her! Paris and I were decorating her pedestal while the rest of the garden was checking through on everything. Gnomeo wanted to make sure everything was perfect for his wife. And who could blame him?
"Alright guys, Juliet will be here really soon. How about I go get her while you guys finish up. I'll be sure to have Featherstone let you know when we're coming so you can all hide." Gnomeo informed us.
"Got it!" I assured him, trying to blow up one last balloon. It was hard with a hose! Paris came over to help at least. Gnomeo then exited the garden while I took over. "Alright, peoples, Juliet will be here at any time, are we ready?" I announced to the garden. "Yeah!" they all replied. "Great! Then let's get moving!" I informed.
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
I went back to the greenhouse where Juliet was finishing some last minute mowing. I watched her take on the mower and drive around the yard like the professional she was. She finally saw me and parked the mower. She hoped off and ran into my arms for a hug. "There you are! Where have you been?" she asked, pulling out of the hug.
"Just putting together a little something for the birthday girl." I chuckled. I blew a raspberry into her neck as she giggled. (You know, a raspberry! Like when you blow on someone's stomach or neck or whatever and it makes a funny noise. My dad and I did it to each other all the time! xD)
"Stop! That tickles!" she laughed.
"Oh it does, does it?" I smirked.
"No, don't you dare!" she demanded, chuckling. But I ignored her and picked her up bride style and spun her around until we fell to the ground, making her laugh. I started tickling her all over and she would go into a mix of squeals and laughter. "Stop!" she begged.
"Tell me you love me." I demanded, playfully. I continued to tickle her.
"Never!" she joked, laughing as I still tickled her.
"You know what this means, then." I informed getting up.
"Ohhhh no! No no no no no!" she yelled, starting to run away from me. But I grabbed her by the waist from behind and pulled her into my arms. "I swear if you throw me in the pond…" she started.
"Well, then tell me the special words." I smirked. She turned around to face me.
"Okay, okay. I love you." she smiled, giving up.
"And I love you." I said, pulling her into a kiss. It stayed like that for a moment, but then she pulled away.
"Now if you'll excuse me, this lawn isn't gonna mow itself." she said, walking towards the mower. But I grabbed her arm and spun her back to me, which made her squeal lightly.
"I don't think so. I'm taking you somewhere." I smirked.
"What are you getting at, blue?" she asked, playfully. Just then, Featherstone came into the garden.
"Gnomeo!" he called.
"To be continued." I smirked at Juliet. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek and ran up to Featherstone. "Hey, tell everyone we're on our way."
"Okay, just make sure you don't lose track of your time." Featherstone reminded me.
"I know, I know." I assured him, laughing. Featherstone then left the garden. I went back up to Juliet and smirked again. "Now, do you trust me?" I asked.
"Yes." she nodded.
"Then follow me." I said, taking her hand. We walked to Mr. and Mrs. Capulet's garden and I turned to Juliet. "Close your eyes." I told her.
"Close my eyes?" she asked as if it was a bad thing. I nodded 'yes.' She rolled her eyes. "Alright then." She closed her eyes.
"No peaking." I reminded her. I took both her hands and led her into the garden. "And…open them." I said, loudly. She opened her eyes as everyone in the garden shouted, "SURPRISE!"
Juliet's P.O.V.
Oh my god! A surprise party for my birthday? I should have seen this coming! I began to laugh and tear up happily as I covered my mouth with my hand. "You guys!" I shouted, excitedly. I turned to Gnomeo and gave him the biggest hug I ever could. "Did you do all of this for me?" I asked.
"No, I did it for Tybalt." he replied sarcastically. I raised a brow at him. "Yes, I did it for you. Who else's birthday is today?" he informed. I giggled as we kissed.
"Let's get this parted started!" Benny shouted. I looked around as music started playing and the garden turned into a dance floor.
"Come on, let's go dance!" I told Gnomeo, taking his hand. We got into the crowd and danced the night away. A few hours passed, it seemed. Me and Gnomeo were sitting together, watching most of the gnomes still dancing. I took a sip of my Diet Coke (my fave!) as Gnomeo put his arm around me and kissed my cheek.
"Happy birthday, Jules." he whispered.
"I love you, you know that, right?" I smirked, still shocked that he did this for me.
"Of course I do." he smiled. He kissed my lips very sweetly. He then pulled away and reached behind his back and pulled out a present.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Open it." he told me. I undid the bow and wrapping paper and revealed a glass heart that said 'I love you' on it. "For you and the baby." he said, kissing my cheek.
"Thank you so much. It's beautiful." I smiled as I held it close to my heart. We kissed again. Just then, I remembered something.
"Gnomeo," I said, pulling out of the kiss.
"Yes?" he asked, concerned.
"The baby. We were gonna tell everyone today." I reminded him.
"Oh yeah, that's right. Come on." he said, taking my hand. We got on-top of my pedestal and I picked up a microphone.
"Hey, can I have everyone's attention." I started. The music quieted and everyone stopped dancing as they turned to us. "First, I just wanted to say thank you all so much for the awesome birthday. I couldn't have asked for a better family than you guys." I stated. A few 'awes' went across the garden. "We love you, Jules!" Nanette shouted. I giggled. "Speaking of families, what if I were to say that we have another member joining us?" I asked. Everyone looked confused. I looked at Gnomeo. We laughed. "I'm pregnant!" I laughed happily. Everyone gasped and gathered around the pedestal congratulating me. I came down the steps to hug everyone. "Thank you, thank you." I told them. Nanette pushed through the crowd and gived me a HUGE hug.
"Oh, Juliet! This is great!" she shouted, happily.
"Thanks, Nanette." I smiled. Featherstone and Niagara wrapped their legs around me.
"Juliet, congratulations!" Niagara said.
"Yeah, I can't wait to have a new little buddy!" Featherstone added. I broke free of their tight hug.
"Thanks guys." I replied. My dad then came up to me and gave me a big hug, followed by Lady Blueberry.
"Oh, my little girl. This is great news!" my dad informed, happily.
"I'm so proud of you two!" Lady Blueberry added, pinching Gnomeo's cheek.
"Thanks, mom." Gnomeo chuckled.
"Yes, thank you guys." I added. Gnomeo took me under his arm and rested it on my shoulder.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a grandpa!" my dad laughed.
"And me, a grandma!" Lady B added. We all laughed as the music grew again.
"Wanna dance?" Gnomeo invited.
"Of course." I smiled, taking his hand. "See you guys later!" I waved to dad and Lady B as Gnomeo and I went back to the dance floor.
"Happy birthday, Juliet!" they called. Gnomeo and I continued to dance all across the yard. It seems as if hours had past. I wasn't sure. All I knew is that this was the best birthday ever.
Awww, so cute! c: Let's just see what the next chapter has in store. Thanks so much to TPATFan16 for the awesome idea in the beginning! Love you, bro! ;) Peace out, home Chinka's! ;D
