Luke’s POV
Tonight Lexi was finally meeting nonna and nonno, I was pretty excited. Nonna was going to be cooking a big traditional Italian feast, which Lexi was used to because she comes from an italia family aswell. Lexi actually knows how to speak fluent Italian, because her mum and dad are Italian, I only know some Italian, not fluent.
We got ready and drove to nonna and nonno’s. As we pulled in the street we saw heaps of cars, I said “Oh my god” as I laughed. “What?” Lexi asked. I replied “She’s invited the WHOLE fucking family” still laughing. This was just like nonna, to go over the top with everything. We all walked inside and got greeted by tonnes of hugs and kisses from the family. They were all very welcoming of Lexi and were telling her how she was glowing and asked to see the ring.
We finally made it into the kitchen and nonna was in the kitchen cooking. She turned around and came towards us smiling saying “You must be lexi, so nice to meet you” in an italian accent while she held out her arms for a hug. “You very beautiful! And you glowing with your pregnancy!” she told me “That my great grandchildren in there” she said excitedly. “It sure is… Oh wow they’re kicking, I think they like the sound of nonna’s voice” I told her. “Would you like to feel?” I asked her. “Yes please” she said as she held her hand on my stomach as the girls kicked. She couldn’t believe it, she was overwhelmed. Everyone else came and felt it aswell. It was weird having so many people I had only just met, touching my stomach, but they were my future family, so it sort of felt right.
Nonna dished up the food as we all sat around the huge dinner table nonna made out of all the tables in her house. We had a huge feast of pasta, lasagne, carbonara, roast, vegies, salad and so much more. We all talked about Christmas plans and how the boys were going with the Janoskians and the boys auntie was pregnant aswell and she was due in a week, so we were talking about that, then we talked about Luke and my plans for the babies and stuff. Overall, it was a really good night. A lot of the adults were drinking and nonno got a little drunk and accidentally let the cockatoo out of the cage and it flew into the house and was knocking stuff over everywhere.
I was watching how good Luke was with his little baby cousin Samuel, it was too cute. I knew Luke was going to be the best dad ever. We left at 11:30pm and Luke drove home. I felt so safe with Luke driving, because he was so protective of me. I knew he was going to be protective of the girls aswell, they would be lucky to have a boyfriend until they’re 30. When we got home, we went straight to bed, we were all so tired and full from dinner.
…
The next morning I woke up and Luke wasn’t in bed. I walked out to the loungeroom and Gina was sitting on the couch watching the Today show and drinking a cup of coffee. “Morning babe, how’d you sleep?” she asked me. I rubbed my eyes, yawned and sat down next to her and said “Soooo good!!” with a smile. “That’s good. Hey the boys have gone to gym, they should be back in an hour or so” she said. “Do you want me to make you some breakfast?” she asked me. “Nah its alright aha I can make it.” I told her as I went and made some toast with butter and vegemite.
Soon the boys were home and walked loudly through the door, singing and carrying on. They were all sweaty and Luke came and gave me a massive hug as he said “Good morning beautiful” he let go and I said “Cheers babe, now I’m covered in sweat, I have to have a shower now.” He laughed and said “Hmm I think ill join you” with a wink. Beau laughed and said “Yuck! That’s gross”
…
The next day the boys were going to Sydney and Gina and I were going to Brisbane for my baby shower. We all piled in the maxi taxi that was parked outside the house and set off for the airport. We arrived and Luke insisted he carry my suitcase aswell as his incase I “put my back out” or something. He was the biggest worrier. We did the usual drill, saying hello to all the fans. I saw my usual gang there and they came and sat with me while I waited for my flight. Luke sat next to me and I could see how nervous they all got, it was funny and cute. I used to be exactly the same, the first few days. “Lexi we still haven’t hung out yet” Taylor said to me. :I know sorry babe I’ve been so busy getting ready for the baby and settling in home, definitely when I get back though. We should all go out for dinner.” I suggested. “Yeah that sounds great” they all said nodding their heads and smiling in sync.
My flight got called and Gina and I stood up and began saying our goodbyes. Last was Luke, he held me so tight “I never want to let you go” he told me. I pulled away from his tight grip and looked at him in the eyes. “I love you” I told him. “I love you more beautiful” he said before leaning down to my belly and kissing it “I love you too baby girls” he said, before he stood back up and gave me one final hug and a passionate kiss, before I pulled away from his comforting grip and walked onto the plane, waving back to the boys and the fans.
