What the heart wants

" Aria!" Jade and Bella cooed as they engulfed her in a tight hug.

" Hey!" Aria replied quietly.

" How are you holding up?" Bella asked softly as she sat next to her.

" I'm doing fine, thank you."

" So, any news?" Jade questioned hopefully as she placed a glass of water in front of her sister in-law.
" You gotta stay hydrated." She reasoned.

" I'm pregnant, the gynaecologist confirmed it. Three months and a week. Thirteen weeks."

" Fuck!" Jade exclaimed before slapping s hand over her mouth.
" Sorry, guess I ought to watch my language around the little one now."

" I don't think it works that way Jade." Bella mused.
" How did we miss the signs?"

" The doctor said that I'm just one of those rare women who don't show clear signs of pregnancy." Aria sighed as she played with her fingers.
" I took alcohol, it's no doubt going to affect my baby."

" Shit!…oops! Sorry."

" Jade." Bella called with a warning glare.
" It may not-"

" The doctor already said it Bells, there's a high risk of my baby to have a low birth weight or to be born prematurely and there are also a bunch of other things that could go wrong!"

" Nothing will go wrong Aria. You and your baby will be fine."

" God I hope so."

" When's your first ultrasound?"

" Next week. I'm already behind." She sighed.

" I really don't want to go without Jared.

" You won't." Bella assured.

" He'll be back before then, he probably just needed space." Jade stated with a smile.

" I can't exactly blame him for leaving." Aria sighed.
" It caught us off guard. He needs time to process it."

She nodded and then began tearing up.

" But I miss him!"

" Oh shit! Pregnancy hormones." Bella said as she began comforting her best friend.
" It's okay Aria, everything will be fine. Jared will come back home soon…okay?" She cooed.

Aria wiped her face and smiled.

" Okay."

" How does it feel to be pregnant?"

" Honestly… it's terrifying. The thought of having a tiny human being living inside me scares me." Aria replied as she unconsciously rubbed her tummy.

" You'll be an absolutely amazing mother."

" Thank you."

Jade disappeared into the kitchen and came out a while later with wine bottles in her arms.

" What are you doing with those?"

" Well I figured that since you can't take alcohol, I should just take them off your hands…and I am."

" Absolutely no-" She rolled froze mid statement.

" What's wrong?" Bella asked as she rushed over to Aria's side.

" The baby. I felt it kick! I felt it kick!" Aria squealed. They all began to squeal.

" I want a niece. Oh no! A nephew. No! Both!" Jade exclaimed excitedly.

" My baby." Aria whispered softly as she rubbed her belly.
" My baby. This is real, I'm actually pregnant…whoa! It still feels so surreal."

" It's real Aria, you're going to be a mother."

" I'm going to be a mother." Aria repeated and then grinned.
" I am going to be the best mother ever!"

" Yes!" Bella giggled.

" You go girl!" Jade cheered.
