"Can you just hold still?" I huff blowing the hair out of my face in frustration.

"I've been holding still all afternoon, It's too tight Ava, I feel like I can't fucking breathe anymore."

"Well I'm trying to fix it, but I'm not a seamstress Skye so you have to deal with whatever I can do. Since when did you turn into a bridezilla anyway?" I'm getting so frustrated with this dress and I'm not even the one who will be wearing it.

"Since my dress don't fucking fit a week before the wedding!" She shouts at me and I feel like ripping the dress into shreds or burning the god damn thing. She is refusing to get it altered considering it fit her the last time she tried it on and there's no way I'm going to be able to convince her to buy a new one with the wedding only being a week away.

"Oh you turned into a bridezilla long before that." Hannah scoffs from across the room as she downs the rest of her champagne. She's grinning because she finds this whole situation hilarious.

We both glare in her direction and then giggle when we realize how ridiculous we are being.

"This whole wedding planning has been a nightmare, the last few weeks I've been stress eating and I must have gained a few pounds." Skye shrugs, taking a seat beside her.

"That, or you're pregnant." Hannah scoffs again and I shoot her an evil look.

"Hannah don't... wait..." I turn quickly back in Skye's direction. "Oh my god are you pregnant?" I ask, eyes as wide as saucers.

"No." She tells us shaking her head. "No, there's no way." She looks towards the ceiling like she's trying to work something out. "Oh shit, fuck....fuck I might be pregnant. No, no, no."

"Skye! I thought you were on the pill?" I question.

"Yeah I was...I mean I am. But somedays I forget to take it." She shrugs.

"Skye!"

"Ava! I'm tired 90% of the time and I'm stressed out. The wedding is stressing me out. Taking my pill was the last thing on my mind. It's not like we even have sex often, have you tried having sex when your running after a child 14 hours out of the day? You just take what you can get, if and when you can get it. I wasn't thinking obviously." She lays her head in her lap letting out a huge sigh.

A silence fills the room for a couple of minutes. Not one of us knowing what to say. I should say something comforting but I'm not sure if she is going to bite my head off in the mood she is in.

"Imagine you are having twins." Hannah jokes breaking the silence.

"Hannah you are not helping. Make yourself useful and take my card, go into town to the nearest pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test and some coffees from Starbucks." I tell her pulling out my bank card and handing it over. "Take your time."

Hannah smiles and nods at me knowing that I need some time with my best friend right now. "I'll be back soon, text me and let me know if you need something else."

"I will do."

I take a seat next to Skye and reach out for hand, holding it between my own. She looks up at me and I see the tears are falling down her cheeks.

"Hey, it will be ok."

"I don't think I'm ready for another baby Ava. I have my hands full with Teddy already and what is Liam going to say?"

"Liam loves you and Teddy. He will love this baby just as much. You don't have to worry about Liam, you know he worships the ground you walk on." I smirk.

"You're right. I might not even be pregnant anyway. Let's talk about something else." She begins and I know exactly where this conversation is headed. "So. How do you feel about seeing Harry?"

There it is. The question I've been trying to avoid, but I guess I can't run from it forever.

"I don't know." I tell her, the best answer I can come up with. "I haven't seen or spoken to him since you know when, I guess it's going to be really awkward but I'm not exactly out to ruin your big day so it will be civilised on my behalf though I don't know about his."

"Are you going to tell him the big news?"

"I won't have too. If one of the guys haven't told him already I'm pretty sure he will know just by seeing this big rock on my finger." I say looking down at my engagement ring.

A couple of weeks ago on our one year anniversary Aaron and I were out celebrating when out of the blue he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife, after the cutest speech I've ever heard. I was overcome with emotions and said yes without any hesitation. I love Aaron I really do and although a part of me will always love Harry I need to stop dwelling on the past and look into my future with Aaron. Although I really should come clean about sleeping with Harry 2 months ago in New York but I'm so scared of what's going to happen to us if I do. It will break him I know it will, but I know I won't be able to marry him unless I've come clean, I just don't know when it's the right time.

"How do you think he is going to take it? I mean you did sleep together not long ago. So I gather he isn't going to be overjoyed."

"He left without saying goodbye. He didn't call, text, email or send a freaking carrier pigeon with a note. So it doesn't really matter what he thinks." I say sternly.

Does it matter what he thinks?

"Anyway, it's your hen party tonight. Are you looking forward to it?" I ask her trying to change the subject quickly.

"Not if I'm pregnant. I won't be able to drink." She pouts and it looks like she is going to cry again.

"Oh crap I forgot about that. We will still have a good time anyway." Skye looks at me with a weird look on her face and I can't make out if it's a good or a bad thing. "Are you going to vomit? You're looking at me weird."

"You're going to kill me. But don't freak out."

Oh god. Whenever she tells me not to freak out then I know it's bad news and I end up freaking out anyway.

"What have you done?"

"Well, me and Liam decided to merge our parties into one tonight instead of going out separately."

"Skye.." I huff. I don't know why I didn't see this coming to be honest. "There's more to this isn't there?" I ask and she nods her head before continuing.

"Liam said Harry wasn't coming for the stag but he flew in last night as a surprise."

Great. I wasn't prepared to see Harry tonight. Or at all until the wedding. Considering he is Liam's best man I know I couldn't avoid him then.

"That's not all." She says swallowing like the next piece of information is going to hurt me the most. "He has a date."

"What do you mean by date?" I don't think what she has said has really registered in my brain yet and all I can do is ask stupid questions.

"He told Liam he was bringing someone to the wedding with him."

"Maybe it's just a friend from LA." I shrug trying to make myself feel better by thinking Harry would bring a friend instead of a girlfriend with him.

"I don't know but her name is Amy, that's all I know. I haven't met her yet."

Amy? The last time I saw Harry he didn't mention he had a girlfriend. So I wasn't aware of any Amy's in his life.

"They are both coming tonight. Are you going to be okay with this?" She looks at me, eyes staring at mine, she can read me like a book so she knows that this is going to be an awkward night.

"I'll be fine Skye." I half lie. I will be fine. I have to be fine. Not just for my sake but for everyone else too. "Aaron is coming too."

"Going where?" Hannah asks as she walks into the room.

"To the stag and hen parties tonight." I tell her, walking over to retrieve my coffee from her hands.

"Oh so you told her we are making it one big party instead of separate ones?" She asks Skye and Skye nods in response.

"You knew?"

"Only this morning I didn't know before then, I promise boss." She declares holding her hands up defense.

"Did you know Harry was bringing a date also?" I glare at her and when her eyes go wide I know she didn't know that information either.

"No." She shakes her head. "I didn't know that. Well this is going to be awkward isn't it? I hope I'm there to see the look on his face when he sees that ring on your finger." She laughs like this is funny.

"Hannah!" I spit.

"Sorry boss."

This night is going to be a god damn nightmare and if it wasn't for Skye I would completely avoid it altogether.

Damn it!
