-5 months later-
"Guys, dinner's ready!" I shout as I'm preparing dinner on the dining table.
It's been five months Ryder and I married. It's also been a five months I'm starting my new life and it's so fun. And yet, I'm not pregnant even though Ryder and I are still trying to get another baby since he really wants a boy.
I turn my face to the back stairs and see Abigail is sitting down on Ryder's shoulder as Ryder walks downstairs.
"Be careful you two." I said to them.
"Arrived." Ryder chuckles and sit Abigail down in the dining table.
I smile and sit down on my seat next to Abigail to help her take her food. "What is this?" Abigail asks me.
"All the food that you asked me this noon, honey. Crispy king prawn with mayo, meatball with cheese, and strawberry juice." I smile at her.
Ryder's parents already went back to London. But they said that they will move here and they have sort things out there first. I actually dont mind at all with that since this house is seems too big for three of us.
"What is that stroller for?" Ryder asks me.
"Oh for Kitty's baby shower tomorrow. She asked me to get her Angelina Jolie's baby stroller." I said to Ryder while eating my food.
Yeah Kitty will held a baby shower tomorrow in her apartment. The baby due week is about three weeks to go so she is kinda excited. Well me either actually.
"Wow where did you get it?" Ryder turns his face at me.
"Online. Little bit expensive but that's for my nieces though. So.." I smile.
"Where was mine?" Abigail asks us.
"You're too old for that, honey." Ryder chuckles.
"We already donated yours when we moved in here, baby." I rub her head.
"Can I have baby shower too so I will get gifts?" Abigail asks.
"Honey..." I chuckle. "Next week is your birthday, what do you say if we have a birthday party for you? We can invite your friends from school." I smile at her.
"Yes mommy! Yes!" Abigail smiles happily.
"And what if mommy and daddy buy you a bike for your birthday present?" Ryder grins at her.
"Yes! A pink one with little basket on the front so I can bring Bruno to look around." Abigail nods and smiles.
I smile back and rub her hair. "Alright, mommy will call Bella the Balloon Lady."
"Yes!" Abigail yells excitedly.
Ryder and I just looking at each other and smiling at each other. This is one of those simple things that can make me happy. Especially her, Abigail.

I'm sitting down on my bed with my back against the wall. Writing the list on my journal about the things I should get for Abigail's birthday party. Meanwhile Ryder just laying down next to me watching TV.
"How many kids in Abigail's classroom?" I ask Ryder.
"Twenty I guess. But there are two class for the first grade." Ryder simply said.
"Okay." I nod and write down on my journal.
"What are you doing?" Ryder turns his face at me.
"Writing the list about the things I should get for her birthday." I simply said.
"You move so fast." Ryder chuckles.
"We cant call the party planner a day before the date. I will order McDonald's Kids Meal for their lunch, then I will bake cookies, and order the birthday cake from Chocolate Factory." I said to Ryder.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Ryder asks me.
"Yes, obviously." I nod.
"What is it?" Ryder raises his eyebrows.
"Just stay out of this plan." I simply said.
Ryder rolls his eyes and let out a sigh. I chuckle and take the house phone and dial some number.
"Bella The Balloon Lady. Can I help you?"
"Yeah hi. I want to order a party organize." I said to the phone.
"What kind of party ma'am?"
"It's a birthday party for six years old girl." I said.
"We have some options for the theme, we have jungle, adventure, fairytales, castles, and seaworld."
"Well, castles will involved with princess and prince right? I take castles." I said to them.
"When the party will be held?"
"Next week on Sunday. It's in my backyard, 415 Fifth Avenue, Rolling Hills, CA." I said to the phone.
"Name?"
"Umm my daughter is Abigail Lynn. You come to Mr. Ryder Lynn's house." I said to them.
"For how many persons?"
"Umm about twenty kids." I said.
"May I have your number for the contact person?"
"Okay sure.. it's 1136578982210."
"Thank you. We'll let you know about the payment later. Thank you for trusting us."
"Yeah." I nod and hung up the phone.
"Twenty? I thought you're gonna booked for forty." Ryder turns his face at me.
"Well, I assume the kids from her next class dont even know her. So I'm just gonna invite her classmates." I said to Ryder.
"Yeah you're right." Ryder nods.
I smile and continue writing down the stuff into my journal. I looked up to the calendar in my journal and frown at it. It's been five weeks I didnt have period.
Am I pregnant? Or just late? I take my phone and walk to the bathroom. I take a pregnancy stick from the drawer under the vanity mirror then pee on it.
After that I wash my hand and brush my teeth while waiting for the result. I'm bit nervous actually but if I'm really pregnant I will be so happy about it.
I let out a sigh and look at the stick. I take the stick with tissue paper and look at it. It's two lines. I'm pregnant. I am totally pregnant. I gasped and cover my mouth with my hand.
I have to see the doctor first before I tell this to Ryder. I take my phone and call my assistant to make a doctor appointment.
"Yes, dr. Lynn?"
"I'm so sorry to disturb your evening shift right now but can you please make an appointment to dr. Peters?" I ask her.
"Yes sure, ma'am. When it will be?" She asks me.
"Tomorrow at one. Make it for me. Using my name. Okay."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Alright, thank you." I hung up the phone and let out a sigh.
I covered up the stick with tissue paper and put it into the drawer. I walk out from my bathroom and walk to the bed and Ryder is falling asleep. I turn off the tv and the lamp then lay down next to him. He will find out about this soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why are we here?" Abigail asks me and went out of the car.
"Because I have an appointment. Please dont tell daddy okay." I said to her.
"Why we cant tell daddy?" Abigail frowns.
"Secrets between girls, us." I smirk at her.
"Okay." She nods and giggles.
We then walk enter the hospital. I hold her hand and walk to the receptionist. "Good afternoon dr. Lynn." She smiled at me.
"Good afternoon. My assistant, Bella, already made an appointment to dr. Peters today at one." I said to her.
"Right. dr. Peters already waiting for you in her office." She nods and smiles at me.
"Thank you." I smile back at her. "Let's go." I said to Abigail and walk with her.
"Daddy said that you're off today." Abigail turns her face at me.
"Yeah but I gotta meet my friend first." I said to her and walk to the elevator.
I pick her up and hold her as we both enter the elevator and the elevator kinda full. I press the button number 5 to get me to the fifth floor.
The elevator door open at fifth floor. I walk out from the elevator and put Abigail on the ground and hold her hand. I walk in the hallways and turn to dr. Peters's office. I knock on the door and open the door slowly.
"Doc?" I walk in.
"I was waiting for you. I thought your assistant was joking." dr. Peters chuckles
"No, I told her to make one and I'm on day off today." I chuckle.
"Alright, lay down on the bed." dr. Peters says to me.
I lay down on the bed and Abigail just looking at me. dr. Peters lift up my shirt a bit and put the gel on my belly then start scanning my belly.
I turn my face to the screen and cover my mouth with my hand. "Oh my God, I thought my stomachache went back." I chuckle.
"You must be having a morning sickness right?" dr. Peters asks me.
"Yes, so I drank herbal tea every morning because I thought stomachache went back." I said to her.
"Well, it's five weeks already." She smiles at me.
"What sound is that?" Abigail asks as she heard the unborn baby's heartbeat.
"That's your little brother or sister heartbeat." dr. Peters smiles at her.
I chuckle and look at her. "I wanna see!" Abigail said.
"Here." dr. Peters put her on the bed next to me. "This is your little sibling." She said to Abigail.
"Wow it looks so small." Abigail chuckles. "Mommy's pregnant!"
I smile and kiss her head. She lean her head on my chest as we both looking at the screen. dr. Peters just printed out the paper and put the cd to her monitor.
"I'll give you some vitamins to handle the morning sickness okay." dr. Peters said to me.
I get up and put Abigail down on the ground. I sit down in front of dr. Peters table and Abigail just look around.
"Here is the receipt of the vitamin, your paper result, and the ultrasound." dr. Peters said to me and give me an envelope then a receipt paper.
"Thank you, doct. Come on, Abby." I smile at her and walk out from her office with Abigail. "You happy?" I smile at her.
"Yes! I will have a baby brother!" Abigail smiles happily.
"We dont know yet but I hope it's a boy too." I smile at her.
Abigail just smiling as we both walk to the drugstore to pick up the vitamins. I'm so glad that she is happy through this. After that we went back to the parking lot and goes to Kitty for her baby shower.
~~~~
"Hello everyone." I walk into Kitty's apartment and bring the stroller in with Abigail who is busy eating cookies from cookies jar.
I smile at them and hug Kitty and my mom. The other's are already here. Kitty's friends from her work, some old friends like Marley, Mercedes, Brittany, Santana, and Quinn since they lives in L.A so obviously we usually meet them and easy to tel them to come for a party.
"You really bought that stroller?" Kitty grins at me.
"Yeah well as long as you wont kill my brother or my mom so sure." I nod and sit down on the couch with the others.
"Isnt that expensive and limited edition stroller?" Marley asks.
"Oh shut up. She is rich. Next time ask her for expensive gift to your baby shower." Kitty simply said.
"My daughter will ask expensive gift for her birthday next week to you as payback." I smirk at Kitty.
"Where did you find it?" Quinn asks me.
"Online. Yeah a little bit expensive but that's for my nieces soon." I smile.
"You came late, honey." Mom says to me.
"Yeah because I have to went to the hospital first." I said to her.
"Mommy is pregnant!" Abigail yells excitedly.
"Baby..." I chuckle and shake my head.
"Oh my Godness. You do?" Mom asks me.
"Yes." I smile and nod.
"Congratulations, sweetie. I'm so happy for you. Finally the day is come." Mom hugs me and smiles at me.
"Thank you." I hug her back.
"Finally, Ryder's sperm can swim fast." Kitty simply said.
"Kitty!" I frown at her and cover Abigail's ears.
"I'm sorry but I'm so happy for you. Congratulations." Kitty hugs me.
"Thank you." I hug her back and sit down on my seat and smile.
"Why you didn't tell me?" Mom asks me.
"I just found out last night and I made an appointment today. I even haven't tell Ryder yet." I chuckle.
"You really cant keep a secret huh." Kitty chuckles at Abigail.
Abigail just shake her head and sit down on my lap and hides her face to my chest as she is blushing. "Like mother like daughter, honey. Jade also cant keep a secret." Mom says to Kitty.
"I already bribed her with cookies, to not say anything unless we decided to tell her dad." I chuckle and rub her hair.
"I want more cookies." Abigail whisper at me then grins at me.
"Mommy already gave you the jar." I said to her.
"It's empty, mommy." Abigail said to me.
"Where are those cookies?" I raise my eyebrows.
"I ate it all." Abigail giggles. "I want more." She grins at me.
"But the one at home also already empty because of you and daddy last night cant stop eat it." I said to her.
"Make it again tomorrow." Abigail grins.
"Mommy's working tomorrow until dinner time." I grin back at her.
"Mommy.. please..please.." Abigail kisses my whole face and smiles at me.
"Alright, but dont say anything to daddy about my pregnancy until I tell you to. You promise?" I raise my eyebrows.
"I promise." Abigail shows me her two fingers.
I chuckle and hug her while kissing her head. "Mommy already called Bella the Balloon Lady for your party next week." I said to her.
"I can invite all my classmates?" Abigail asks me.
"Obviously." I nod. "Your grandma and grandpa will come here tomorrow and staying with us until they get a new house." I said to her.
"Ryder's parents gonna stay in US?" Mom asks me.
"Yeah. Basically, they asked us to move in to London so I can help Ryder's father to handle the hospital but Ryder and I refused that so they will move back here. They're gonna stay with us until they get a new house." I said to mom.
"Well, as long as your mother in law stay with you so I wont be really worried about you being pregnant." Mom rubs my hair and smiles at me.
"Mom, this is not my first time. I can handle that. All you need to do is handle that Meow Skanky Girl. She doesn't even know how to change baby's diapers." I laugh at Kitty.
"I knew that!" Kitty protest.
"Okay let's open the present before I become crazy two of them will fighting like dog and cat." Mom gets up quickly and bring all the presents to the table. "Your dad sent this from Ohio."
"Isn't that a place where to put dirty diapers?" Kitty asks.
"Yes diaper genie." Mom nods.
"Is this baby bonk?" Kitty frowns as she takes breast pump.
"You ever saw thing like that in my former apartment and you didn't know that?" I frown at her.
"I thought you were using drugs." Kitty shrugs.
"Honey, that's breast pump." Mom chuckles.
"Oh God, poor my little nieces." I shake my head.
"Okay I know this! This is baby jumper long sleeve one for their pajamas to sleep." Kitty grins at us.
"Right." Mom nods and chuckles.
"Alright, mommy dont leave me. I knew like 3 of these stuffs and I'm gonna have two babies." Kitty hugs mom.
Everyone just chuckling. I shake my head and chuckles. Yeah Kitty's mom passed away after we graduated from high school so mom came here for her and help her out with all of these things and I'm totally fine with that.
~~~~
I walk enter my house while holding Abigail. "We're home!" Abigail shouts.
"And we are here." Ryder's parents smiles at us as they sit down in living room.
I put Abigail on the ground and hug them. "I thought you guys will come tomorrow." I smile at them.
"Things in London are done already so we went here." Mr. Lynn says to me.
"Please stay here forever." I said to Mrs. Lynn.
"Honey, we told you that we dont wanna disturb your family." Mrs. Lynn says to me.
"Uh this house is just too big for only three of us." I sigh. "Alright, I will cook the dinner first." I smile at them and walk to the kitchen.
I turn my face to the family room and I can see that Ryder is busy playing video games with Jake, Sam, Puck, and Artie.
"So, you girls were having daddy shower?" I raise my eyebrows at them.
"I dont hear you." Jake simply said.
I roll my eyes and walk to the kitchen and open the fridge. "Babe, Bella the Balloon Lady called and they asked if you wanna pay the full payment today or only a half." Ryder says to me.
"Pay it full of course." I said to him. "Do they give me their account number?" I ask him.
"Yes, I wrote it done under the telephone." Ryder nods.
"Alright, I'll finish it later." I simply said and take some food from the fridge and start cooking. "Jake, can you make a birthday cake for Abigail's birthday next week?"
"You said you wanna order from Chocolate Factory." Ryder frowns at me.
"Yeah. I went there and buy a slice of cake and it doesnt taste good." I said to him.
"Yeah sure." Jake nods.
"With castles theme so please make a castle cake." I said to him.
"All right. Easy for me." Jake simply nods and gets up.
"You guys dont wanna have dinner here? I'm cooking fajitas." I said to them.
"Nah, I gotta go home before dinner or Quinn will be upset." Puck said to me.
"Can we take that food out?" Sam asks me.
I chuckle and take frozen lasagna from the fridge and give it to him. "Heat it until the cheese bubble up." I said to him.
"Thank you." Artie smiles at me. "I'm sorry if my roommate little bit embarrassing." Artie glares at Sam.
"Dude, easy. This is Jade. She will give me everything, right?" Sam smirks at me.
Ryder clears his throat and having his arm around my shoulder. I chuckle and rub Ryder back. "That's okay, Artie. I know living with Sam is totally embarrassing." I chuckle.
"Alright, I will see you next week." Jake kisses my head.
"Me too." Puck nods and kisses my head.
"Uncle Jake, wait!!!" Abigail shouts and runs downstairs.
Jake grabs her and lift her up. "What is it?" Jake asks her.
"I want razor scooter for my birthday." Abigail grins at him.
"It must be your mom who told you about my razor scooter." Jake sighs. "Alright, I will get it one for you on your birthday." Jake smiles at her.
"Yes!" Abigail smiles happily.
Jake puts her on the ground and the others waves us goodbye. I wave them goodbye and continue cooking the food.
I turn my face and Abigail is playing the video games with Ryder in the family room. I'm still cooking the food until Ryder's mom helps me.
My stomach feels little bit not good. I kinda wanna vomit. I close my mouth and hold the feeling to vomit. I don't wanna vomit yet.
"You okay, sweetie? You look pale." Mrs. Lynn frowns at me.
"Yeah I'm okay." I nod and giggle.
Ryder turns his face at me quickly. He walks back to me but I cant hold it anymore so I run to the bathroom and vomit there.
I walk out from the bathroom and walk back to the kitchen. Everyone is starring at me. I'm just raising my eyebrows at them. Ryder walks closer to me and hugs me really tight.
"Why you didn't tell me before that you're pregnant huh?" Ryder smiles and kisses my forehead.
"How could you know that?" I ask him. "Hold on.." I turn my face at Abigail and raise my eyebrows.
Abigail just laughing and runs upstairs. "I'm sorry, mommy!"
I chuckle and smile at them. "Yes, five weeks already." I smile at them.
"Oh my God. Our second grandchild." Mrs. Lynn smiles and hugs me.
I hug her back and smile. "Congratulations, dear." Mr. Lynn smiles at me and hugs me.
"Is it a boy a girl?" Ryder asks curiously.
"It's only five weeks Ryder. When the baby already nine weeks then you can see it." Mrs. Lynn says to Ryder.
"Totally. I actually just found out last night." I giggle.
"Well, I guess we will live here." Mrs. Lynn grins at us.
"Really?" I giggle.
"Yeah or least stay until the baby born. You will need a lot of help and I wont leave you alone, sweetie." She smiles at me and rubs my cheek.
"Aww thank you so much, mom." I smile and hug her.
"No problem, honey." Mrs. Lynn smiles at me.
"Live with us." Ryder says to them.
"Rydie, people who are married are supposed to be living their own way. No parents involved. I'm gonna stay here until the baby born. But after that we will move out." Mrs. Lynn says to us.
"Your mom is right, son. Dont worry, we will find a house around here. So we can come everyday but living with you? Will make us fail as parents." Mr. Lynn says to us.
Ryder and I just nodded and smile at them. This is not my first time to being pregnant and I'm totally sure I can handle that. I'm a strong grown up woman.
