YOU GUYS ARE GONNA LOVE MEEEEEE

Day 2 of Justin in Vegas. So naturally I'm at a hair salon and got my hair cut to just below my shoulders and now my nails painted a pale pink. The baby hadn't stopped moving over the last few hours and even though the midwife said any day now I just knew the baby isn't going to come today. I have a feeling, and I'm usually good with these things. It just doesn't feel right.

"Please don't kill me." Ki suddenly mumbles looking to me with nervous eyes completely avoiding my question. Looks like I'm not getting an answer to anything to do with Dylan today. "I may have organised something..." She trails off wincing and biting her lower lip. I frown at her words and her worried expression. I'm in no mood to deal with events right now.

"What did you do?" I ask slowly narrowing my eyes at Ki who's looking just as nervous as ten seconds ago only she's no longer looking at me.

"There may or may not be a baby shower being put together for you at home right now." She winces as I stare at her wide eyed. A...baby shower... I squint my eyes at her the panic seeming to have completely disappeared from her entire being in the last ten seconds and instead she looks relaxed as the woman to her left side instructs her to put her freshly painted pink nails under the UV light.

"Why?" Is the first question that comes to mind along with many other curses which I manage to hold back for the sake of my appearance now realising when I'm not complaining that there is people I don't know in the room.

"Because you never had one? Because it'll be nice?" She asks herself looking to me with warm eyes. "Because your friends want to spend time with you before you're in Mommy mode 24/7." I snort at her words but the meaning behind her words has me slightly choked.

"Okay." I huff quietly my throat feeling tight with emotion. This is really the last time I'm going to have where it's only really myself.I'm already responsible for my little bump but soon I'm going to be responsible for a little person and they're going to need me for everything. My own needs are going to have to take a back seat for once. The thought is both exciting and terrifying but I know I can do it. Justin is here and we can support each other through anything. "That sounds fun actually." I grin excited to see what would be happening. I've never been to a baby shower before so I'm intrested to see what will actually happen.

"Are you...Are you crying?!" Kiara asks loudly leaning up from her seat to look at my probably glossy eyes. 

"No." I deny pouting to myself and sniffling with a huff

"Oh my god you are! I'm so sorry! Jeez you're such a ball of emotion Charlie." She hushes pouting and wrapping her arms around me as I continue to sniffle pathetically.

"I'm sorry." I groan shaking my head softly and brushing the small balls of water which had only just started to spill from my eyes. Oh my goodness this is such a nice thing to do. "I honestly can't control myself lately." I say honestly shaking my head in disappointment in myself. It's ridiculous, I go from happy to sad and I'm so embarrassed about my moods swings even though I really have no control over them.

"Don't worry about it." Ki says softly her smile warm, the familiarity of it making my heart flutter. The small gesture made me beam back at her in excitement and thankfulness. Thankful because I honestly don't have a clue what I'd do without the crazy girl that is my best friend. She's more than my best friend, more like my sister and we have that sort of relationship in a way I guess. I'm so thankful she's put up with my ass. "We haven't even got to the best part of your suprise yet." She grins excitedly winking at me as I squint at her.

"Well you just told me what's happening, it's hardly a suprise." I complain eyeing her cautiously the sound of her laugh echoing around us a world away from her words a few minutes ago when she looked so scared to say any of this that she might just run away or drive home without me.
