The next day came after another long restless night.
"Mum!" I hear Denny shout from downstairs
"One second darlin" one second who am I kidding more like 2 minutes with the pace of my walk.
As I get down the stairs I see keanu and Denny making me breakfast,it's funny isn't it if you told me this time last year I'd be due another baby and Denny and keanu would be getting along I would of probably laughed in your face.
"Fry up?" Keanu asks
"Oh yes please" I reply
"How long have you two been up for?" Noticing it's only 9am.
"Since about 8" Denny calls over the top of keanu.
"8? I can't even get you up at that time for school" I chuckle.
"Well I thought it was time I started helping you out more with the baby and everything"
"You don't need to do that Denny me and keanu will be fine"
"I know I don't need to but I want too,I love you mum and I know I haven't quite said it enough or showed it enough the past few years but that's all going to change now" he replies.
I get a lump in my throat what did I do to deserve this beautiful little boy and not just him but I'm managing to give him a little brother or sister not even 15 years ago all this seemed totally impossible "I love you too baby , and nothings going to change between us when this little one's here not really I promise" I reply just smiling with how far I've come I hope mum,dad and Dennis would be proud.
Half an hour later as we'd just finished up breakfast and Keanu had headed off to work at the garage and Denny had nipped out to the shop to get me some milk and gherkins Linda had popped round again taking it upon herself to let herself in clearly tired of waiting in the cold for me to get to the door.
"Hi babe" she smiled.
"Hey" i replied.
"How are you?" She asks.
"I'm good , Denny and keanu are getting on it's all working out"
"I'm so happy for you all , now baby shower front I've got it on for tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah well I didn't want to leave it to late the look of you your about to drop no offence"
"None taken babe" I laugh
She isn't exactly wrong the Braxton hicks started late last night poor Keanus face when I told him it makes me wonder how he's going to handle the actual labour.
"So currently the guest list is me , Sonia , Karen , Bernie , Kathy , Shirley , Tina and obviously you as our star guest" Linda says.
"Sounds lovely" I reply
But?" Linda asks
"Well it's just do you think we should be making this fuss one it's second baby two he or she isn't even here safely yet" I reply honestly
"Of course you deserve this fuss Sharon , your an amazing women who deserves everything good I'm so so proud of you , you should be proud of yourself aswell"
" I love you Linda carter"
"I love you too Sharon watts" "And if these relationships fail for any of us we can always run off with the kids and become lesbians" she says as we both chuckle
"Come here" she says as she walks round to me and hugs me "everything's going to be fine I promise"
Awhile later Keanu had come to check on me at lunch time still slightly worried after last night despite me telling him it's normal and women can get them for months before the officially go into labour and give birth.
"How are you babe?" He asks as Im cutting up cheese for a cheese sandwich to have along with some gherkins them being one of my main pregnancy cravings for some reason.
"I'm good and so is the baby I told you we'd be fine " I reply "Linda's sorted out the baby shower for tomorrow" I let him know
"Tomorrow? That's abit short notice isn't it? I mean she's going to have to sort out a party in less than a day"
"With Linda where there's a mean there's a way trust me" I laugh "anyway she's scared if she leaves it any later I'll drop and it'll be more of a wetting the baby's head ceremony"
"Well she might not be far wrong there I wondered the same last night" he laughs
"We are fine I've told you and this one knows to stay in until atleast after tomorrow if they want to stay on auntie Linda's good side" I laugh as I'm making my way back over to the couch letting out a small groan as I sit down
I notice Keanu give me a side eye.
"Keanu I'm fine I promise you but if your going to be this nervous don't you think you'd be better at work , take your mind off us for awhile"
"Oh not even work can get you off my mind Sharon watts" he says as he joins me on the couch where I shift uncomfortably a fresh round of backache sinking in.
"Come here sit inbetween my legs" he says as he turns putting his legs up on the couch noticing the ache I'm fighting with as I turn and do just that I feel his hands come around to my bump where the baby kicks then he comes round from my hips to my back and massaging the knots.
I let out a groan of pleasure somehow he always knew what I needed and when I needed it without me even having to say it.
"Not hurting you am I?"
"No don't stop it feels good" I smile as he kisses the top of my head and we lay like that for the next 15 minutes just in pure bliss before he had to head back off to work oh how I love that man.
