Julie's POV

"Mam?" I called out going down the stairs contract in hand

"Hey" I breathed out going to sit beside her on the sofa she instantly pulled me into her giving me sweet kisses against my temple

"Didn't see you yesterday" she said looking at me sadly

"I did, I saw you whilst I was leaving for the meeting" I explained. She just looked at me with a look that said a thousand words. One word being 'hurt'

"Sorry I was just in a hurry, look I'm not doing anything today. Maybe we can spend some time together?" I suggested making her smile

"Have I told you lately that I love you like crazy?" she said holding me tightly, and I don't think she was planning on releasing me anytime soon

"What you got there?" she asked noticing the papers in my hand

"Oh this is the contract Simon gave me, I thought you could take a look at it make sure there aren't any like tricks or traps in it? I've already looked over it and I didn't see anything suspicious" I said handing her the papers

"Aye I'll take a look at it, but I want some cuddles right now" she said placing the contract onto the coffee table before laying us both down into the sofa wrapping me into her

"Are you upset with me?" I asked her as we faced each other sleeping side by side sprawled out, legs tangled up together

"I'm not upset-" she began running her fingers through my hair making me sigh happily

"When I was growing up I worked me ass off, I didn't get to enjoy me childhood. I want you to enjoy yours" she said finally explaining to me why she wasn't okay with me working

"I didn't see me family, I didn't see me friends. I worked me ass off; it was when I snapped back to reality that I realized I had grown up faster than I should have" she continued

"I'm not going to grow up Mam" I said making her smile tearfully

"I know I've just came into your life, you didn't get to see me grow up into the woman I am today. I promise you I'm still the same old Julie, maybe a little more independent.. But I've always been this way, I've always depended on myself" I said wiping her falling tears away

"You're almost seventeen and next thing I know you'll be moving out" she sniffed

"Can I be honest with you?" I said, she giggled at how silly that question was

"Of course"

"I don't think I ever want to move out.. I feel, I feel like-" I didn't know how to say it without sounding so soppy

"What is it Bubba?" she asked with a small pout

"You know how you live with your parents practically half your life?" I asked and she nodded agreeing with me

"Well.. I've only been in your life for what? half a year? I'll be eighteen in what 2 years? I don't think I've lived with you long enough.. if that makes any sense?" I said bitting my lower lip as she pulled me into her kissing my face

"I want you to stay with us forever" she mumbled against my shoulder as she crushed me into her arms

Julie's POV

"I made first string you know" I said smiling widely as my parents and I walked through the busy streets

"You did! Why didn't you tell us?" Mam said excitedly

"I must have forgot! My first game is fr-" i was interrupted by a swarm of paparazzi that had found us

"Julie! Julie! Whats your take on Simon as a business partner!?" They were all shooting their questions towards me taking me by surprise

"Cheryl! Kimberley! How are you allowing your sixteen year old daughter work with him?" They began to shout at my parents, Mam and Mum took both my hands and quickly pulled me through the massive crowd and in through a small shop

"Fcking hell!" Mam shouted as the door shut behind us

"Well.." I began but Mum shot me a look as in to say 'not now'

"Sorry" I said putting my hands up in defeat before seeing myself to some clothes

Kim's POV

"You're grabbing everyone's attention" I told Cheryl taking her hand dragging her into a fitting room

"She's not yet even signed the fcking contract and the paps are already on her ass!" She hissed crossing her arms across her chest scowling at the wall

"You look really cute right now" I giggled

"I'm mad Kimba, fcking furious! I'm not supposed to look cute!" she said trying her best to hide the rising smile

"Go on, let me see it" I said poking her side making her smile and fall against my chest wrapping her arms around my waist

"I'm just nervous" she admitted

"She'll take it fine baby, there's nothing to be nervous about" I returned her hug wrapping my around her shoulders

"You think?" she asked bitting her lower lip

"I know so.. don't do that-" I said removing her lip from between her teeth

"It's a waste not to show those beautiful lips of yours" I said making her blush

"You're embarrassing us" she said shyly hiding her face in the crook of my neck

"Oi! Are you not going to kiss me?" I pouted

"You make us feel so special" she said kissing me sweetly lingering her lips against mine

"You guys sound like a bunch of sucker fishes! Hurry your asses up!" Julie said making us both dissolve into fit of giggles

"You cheeky sh!t" Chez said in between laughs

"Come on! I'm hungry!!" she whined

Julie's POV

"Jules you're not going to eat all that" Mam said as I placed my massive order

"Wanna bet?" I challenged her

"What we betting on then?" she said taking a sip from her wine glass

"If I eat all of this I get to have your black Hermes bag that you just bought" I said making her mouth fall open

"You little sh!t I didn't even wear it yet" she gasped

"Not my problem" I shrugged

"And if you don't?" she questioned

"That's your decision to make" I winked making her get an evil grin

"No funny business!" I warned her

"Aye, aye okay! Nothing too crazy!" she giggled resting her head against Mums shoulder lacing their fingers together

"You guys are cute" I said pulling out my phone taking a quick picture of them and instantly posting it onto my Instagram page with the caption

'My parents are so in love 💓👭'

"Julie?" Mum said in a more serious but nervous tone

"Yeah?" I said placing my phone down

"Your Mam and I have something to tell you"

"Whats that?" I asked with full interest

"Y-Your Mum and I are going to have a baby" Mam said her voice shaking

"Um.. aren't you guys forgetting you don't have a certain part to make babies?" I asked the obvious

"We are getting a donor" Mum said

"O.. Okay well congratulation I guess" I shrugged, I don't know why but I felt a pang of hurt in my chest. Was I being replaced because I wasn't spending time with them?

"We have a doctors appointment this week, we'll be told all the de--" Mam went on and on and I found myself zoning both of them out as the blabbed away; talking about the exciting news. They wanted to 'start a family' wasn't I family anymore?

"All we want is a healthy baby! Righty Kimba?" Mam said with a full beam spread across her face

"Yeah that's all that matters" Mum leaned in and kissed her lips sighing into each others embrace. My phone rang I internally thanked god

"Excuse me" I said getting off the table and accepting the call

"Tweedy I need you to come into the office tomorrow morning" Simon said straight away

"Is there a problem?" I asked him

"No we are going to get everything rolling tomorrow, so I need you here bright and early"

"You got it. I'll see you tomorrow" I said ending the call straight away, maybe this will keep my mind off the sudden baby news
