Our flight isn't till four in the afternoon, so we are leaving at 2 so we have time and maybe go to some shops in the airport. It's about 1 now so we are just finishing our packing.
"We still have like 45 minutes. Do you want to do anything?" asks Nathan.
"No." I say.
"Harper. Are you ok?" Asks Nathan.
"Yes. I just feel sick." I say.
"Do you want anything?" Asks Nathan.
"No." I say bluntly.
I get up and go into the bathroom. I sit on the toilet lid. Three minutes pass. There's a knock at the door.
"Harper. Are you ok?" Asks Nathan.
"Im- pregnant." I say.
I was meant to say I'm fine, but as soon as I saw the two pink lines, I gues it just slipped out of my mouth. I open the door to see Nathan smiling. I smile to and hug him.
"We're going to have another baby?" Says Nathan.
"Yes!" I say excitedly.
"I love you." Says Nathan.
"I love you to." I say.
We check out and then head to LAX. When we get there, we go through security, passport control and everything else. We wait outside out gate since we got to the airport later than expected.
"Flight 2648 to London Heathrow is now boarding. Flight 2648 to London Heathrow is now boarding." Says someone through a speaker.
We get into the plane. The flight attendants go through health and safety and then we take off. After about 5 hours, we are told we are around half way through the flight. Lily is asleep. She was sitting in between me and Nathan, but we wanted to snuggle for a bit so we put he by the window.
"Nathan." I whisper as other people are sleeping.
"Yeah?" He whispers back.
"I need the toilet." I whisper.
Nathan moves so I can get out. I walk to the toilet and do my business. I try to open the door, but it's jammed. I start to band and ask for help. Then, we experience turbulence.
"Will someone open the damn door?" I shout.
I'm not panicking, I'm angry. The plane begins to shake and when it stops, the door finally busts open. Everyone is still sleeping, but the flight attendants are standing outside.
"I'm so sorry ma'am. We tried to open the door, but it was stuck." Says they brunette, American flight attendant.
I go back to my seat and Nathan is asleep. I shuffle through so I'm sitting in the middle again. I start to watch a film that they have put on, I don't know what it is, but it makes me go to sleep. When I wake up, we are landing. It's about 4:30 am. We get off the plane and collect our luggage. We would be with Rachel, but there weren't enough seats. Ellen played for our tickets, but she put Rachel on the next flight. She should be back within the next 5 hours. We get a taxi and head home.
"How's my boy?" Asks Nathan as he gives me a kiss.
"He OR she is good." I say.
We arrive home. Nathan pays the driver and then we go inside. We leave our bags downstairs. I Carey Lily to her bedroom and then go into mine. Nathan is already in bed. I u dress and get my pyjamas on. I get into bed and Nathan's arms slide their way round my waist.
"Nathan." I say.
"Harper." Says Nathan.
"So you think Lily will cope with having a sibling?" What if she feel a left out. What if she feels like we forget about her?" I ask.
"Harper. Lily will be fine." Says Nathan.
"Ok. Night." I say.
"Night." Says Nathan.
He kisses my forehead. We fall asleep and then I fall into a dream.
"Harper. Post." Says Rachel.
I go to the door and then pick up the white envelope. I open it and its a telegram. K.I.A.
"No." I scream outloud.
"What? What's wrong?" Asks Rachel.
"Nathan's dead." I cry.
I go to say something else, but then everything goes black. My eyes shoot open and I'm breathing heavily. I turn to look st Nathan. I check of he's alive. Phew. That was scary.
"You are very lucky to have a daddy as loving as yours." I say with my hands resting on my flat stomach.
I turn over and then fall asleep. I don't have a dream until I wake up. When I do wake up again, it's 10:30. I can hear noise coming from downstairs. I smile, put on my dressing gown and the go downstairs.
"You're making pancakes without me?" I ask pretending to cry.
"We made some for you." Says Lily.
"Thank you sweetheart." I say.
I give her a kiss and then give Nathan one. We sit down at the island and eat. Soon after I finish, I run towards the downstairs toileet. I throw up. When I'm finished, I wipe my mouth, wash my hands and then go back to the kitchen. I take the three plates and then wash them. Lily sits on the couch watching Frozen. Nathan and I are still sitting at the island.
"You ok?" Asks Nathan.
"Yeah." I say.
I drink some Apple juice and then go upstairs. I get back into bed. I start to fall asleep, but then Nathan comes in. He sits on the side. He moves some hair out of my face and then give me a kiss on my head.
"Get some sleep. You must still be tired from last night." Says Nathan.
"What about Lily?" I ask.
"I'll take her to the park or something." Says Nathan.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yes. We'll be fine." Says Nathan.
"Ok. On your way back, can you go to the shop where they do pick and mix and get me the biggest cup. Just fill it with all the things I like." I say.
"Ok. I love you." Says Nathan.
"I love you to." Says Nathan.
Nathan gets up and leaves the room. I hear him get Lily and bring her upstairs to get dressed. He quietly comes in to get dressed and get his wallet. Then he leaves again and I hear the front door open.
