"I'm hoping it's a good one," I joke, and my jaw drops open at the sight of all the cars parked outside the house.

Blue balloons are tied to both sides of the door. It's not anyone's birthday this week, or did I forget someone? I look down at my green dress that Seb made me keep on after trying it, noticing it does look like a party dress. My hair is straightened nicely, which Seb insisted on doing this morning. I even have on makeup. Seb insisted I have a makeover in one of the shops, before buying the makeup I told him not to.

"Why do I feel like I'm missing something?" I ask, but Seb is already out of the car.

My door opens, and Seb offers his hand.

"My lady," he says in a strong, over-the-top English accent, which you only hear in films, and bows. I giggle at him, and he smirks.

Yes, I'm that kind of girl, who giggles at her insanely hot boyfriend when he plays with me.

We walk up together, and Seb opens the door for me.

"Surprise!" a load of people shout as I walk in, and I notice the big banner above them says 'baby shower.' I blush as Seb kisses my cheek, and Izzy runs over to me.

"I'm stealing Maisy to show her around." She winks at me and pulls me away from a grumpy Seb.

Several people I recognise from when I was growing up say hello to me as we walk through the house toward the kitchen. I grab a cupcake that has blue icing and tiny feet on it.

"These are cute," I say, eating the cake.

"I know, right? Look at the main cake. Luke got it for you," Izzy says, pointing at a two tier cake that has a tiny baby in a crib. It's all made in icing and has ‘baby King’ written across it.

"It's beautiful. Thank you for all this," I gush to Izzy, giving her a side hug.

"I've always wanted a sister, and that's what you are to me. I can't take all the credit. The boys, Blake, and Allie did a hell of a lot to help," she tells me.

I have a massive smile on my face at the thought of Allie and Elliot working together, she giggles with me as she whispers, "Don't worry, I thanked Blake for you." We both start laughing, and a few people smile at us.

Izzy hooks her arm through mine when I’ve finished the cupcake, and I grab an orange juice on my way past the counter. We weave through more people, heading toward the lounge. We find all the brothers sitting together, laughing and drinking beer. Seb smiles at me as I come in and pulls me onto his lap as soon as I get close. I notice Blake does the same to a giggling Izzy. Izzy looks cute wearing a green dress that suits her long, blond hair and bright-green eyes.

"What do you think?" Sebastian whispers into my ear.

"I love it," I say with a grin.

"Guys, thank you for all of this," I say loudlyto get my voice heard over the light music.

"No problem," Luke says.

"You only got the cake, and that was made by someone else, but yes, thank you," Harley says with sarcasm and a shake of his head at Luke, who grins.

"That was hard work. I had to sleep with the cake girl three times just to get her to make it for me. But she had these amazing legs, so I guess I didn’t lose out," he says, looking innocent.

We all laugh as Harley whacks him on the back of his head, and Luke pouts, but there is a smile.

"There's my Maisybear," Allie’s voice comes from across the room.Allie looks stunning in a long, blue dress with butterflies all over it. Her hair is up in a tight bun, which makes her blue eyes appear bigger.

"Hey, Alliecat," I say, seeing her carrying a big, blue box with her. She drops it onto Elliot's lap as she walks past.

“What do you expect me to with this?” Elliot glares at her.

"You can put that where the rest of them are," she replies without looking at him.

I hear him say a few words about her before Izzy says,"Please, Elliot, don't start."

Elliot gets up and walks off with the present, grumbling. Allie sits on the end of the sofa right next to me, and I hold in a giggle as Seb moves away from her a little. I think Seb is a little scared of Allie after she threatened him.

"You have that glow right now. Good week, I'm guessing?" She winks, and I swear this woman has a built-in sex radar.
