All the williamsons fly out to Spain for a week and although Y/N tried to relax, everything keeps going wrong
-> Part of the unexpected universe
“Is everyone ready?” Your mum shouted as she stood by the front door.
The Williamsons were going away to Spain for a week and to save chaos, everyone had slept at yours and Leah’s house the night before.
You had unwillingly got out of bed and had been in a mood since.
“Yes mum! That’s the fifth time you’ve asked.” You groaned, grabbing at your head which throbbed in pain.
Your mum just looked at Leah before slightly shaking her head at your tone.
“These hormones are going to be the death of me this holiday and I’m not even the one pregnant.”
“I have a headache, I’m tired, and I’m pregnant. So I’m sorry if I’m a bit snappy.” You muttered, walking out the door with your suitcase and a travel pillow round your neck.
“Yes, love, we all know it’s not your fault.” Your mum told you, lifting your suitcase into the car.
“This is what I’ve had to live with the past 7 months.” Leah murmured to your mum and grandma.
“Well, she was a handful as a kid so I always knew she’d be double as bad with pregnancy hormones.”
“You know, I can hear you.” You said, looking at the three of them.
“We know but I also know that you agree with what we’re saying.” Leah grinned, poking your bump. “You know your attitude and sass is worse because of the hormones.”
“Great, you woke her up. Thanks, Le. She’ll be kicking me for the next hour.” You rolled your eyes, feeling a flutter of kicks in the exact spot Leah poked.
“She knows that her auntie Le is here.”
Your grandma immediately walked over to you, resting her hand on your bump.
“She’s getting big, isn’t she?”
“She is.” You agreed, looking at your not so little bump.
“She’s got strong little legs. Amanda, feel these.” Your grandma said, calling your mum over to feel.
“Hi Ryleigh, it’s nana. You’re kicking your mummy hard, aren’t you?” Your mum told Ryleigh, who kicked against her hand. “Right everyone in the car now or we’ll be late!”
After the long queues at security, you were finally through to the lounges and restaurants.
When booking the holiday, everyone had agreed to pay extra for a lounge.
Everyone had paid themselves separately for the lounge so everyone had their own entrance ticket.
You’d managed to find the ticket on your phone but when the security guard scanned the QR code, it’s flashed up red.
He tried again and again, but it kept declining your ticket.
“Let me check your ticket.” He said, taking your phone as looking over it. “You’ve booked the wrong lounge. You’re in the lounge downstairs.”
“Can we not pay now for her to come in here?” Leah asked the guard who shook his head.
“Everyone needs to pre book and we’re at maximum capacity now.”
“Please, it’s just one extra person. We can pay now.” Your mum added, noticing how tears were welling in your eyes.
“Sorry, but I cannot allow anyone in who hasn’t pre booked.”
“That’s bullshit! She’s pregnant. Can you not make one exception, just this once.” Leah shouted
“No. Sorry. She’s going to have to go into the other lounge or will have to stay in the communal areas.”
“I’ll go with her. You stay here.” Leah said to your mum and grandma. “Come on, bubba.”
“I’m sorry, Le.” You cried, your sobs shaking your body.
“Hey, don’t cry. It’s one of those things. It’s an easy mistake to make. We’ll just go to your lounge. Maybe they’ll let me in.”
Leah wrapped her arm round you and rubbed your back, trying her best to calm you down.
The lounge that you had booked allowed Leah to switch her lounge ticket meaning she was allowed in.
As soon as you walked in, you spotted the food on offer.
You immediately made your way over, taking a plate and filling it with pastry’s and breakfast meats.
Leah, in the meantime, had found a cozy table to sit at in the corner.
You sat down across from her and started eating.
“Is someone hungry.” Leah joked, noticing how quick you’d gone to get food.
“I’m eating for two.” You scowled at her, before biting into your croissant.
“Can I have a bite?” Leah asked, leaning over to take a bite.
You just frowned at her, giving her an answer straight away.
“Wow, what a nice sister you are.”
“I know.” You smiled sarcastically before taking another bite.
“You can’t even blame your meanness on the hormones.” Leah tutted
“I get it from someone and that someone is not mum or dad.”
“I’m not mean.” Leah exclaimed
“I feel so sick.” You complained, grabbing at your stomach as it churned.
You’d been feeling sick ever since you ate but it had turned worse since takeoff.
“Have you eaten?” Your mum asked, having not seen you since the incident at the lounge.
“Oh she ate mum.” Leah laughed. “How many pastries was it? 5? And then sausages and bacon.”
“Ryleigh was hungry.” You shrugged, slightly struggling to talk due to the nausea.
“How long have you been feeling sick?” Your grandma questioned
“Maybe it’s something you ate.”
“I’m gonna be sick.” You mumbled, jumping out of your seat and running down the aisle to the toilet.
Luckily it was vacant so you quickly barged in and leant over the toilet.
Leah, having been sat in the end of aisle seat, jumped up as well and ran after you.
“Ry’s playing up, isn’t she?” Leah asked, rubbing your back.
You didn’t respond, instead just groaning into the toilet.
You couldn’t even nod because another sudden wave of sickness washed over and you threw your head back over the toilet.
“You’re okay, I’m here.” Leah cooed, holding your hair back whilst also rubbing your back.
And you knew you were okay because your sister was there.
“Quick I wanna get to the villa.” You told your family as you attempted to run through the airport.
Unfortunately, your excitement wasn’t long lasting due to you being out of breath after just a few metres.
“Running whilst pregnant is no joke.”
“Looks like someone is feeling better.” Your grandma laughed, walking towards you.
“I may have over eaten at breakfast but in my defence, it wasn’t my fault. It was…”
“Ryleigh’s.” Everyone said, finishing your sentence, having heard it a million times.
“You missy need to stop blaming it on your unborn daughter. Poor Ry is gonna come out and think everyone blames her.” Your mum told you, looping your arm with hers as she walked side by side with you.
“It’s the hormones then.”
“Or maybe your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” Leah added, finding a bench to sit down on as the wait for the luggage was another ten minutes.
“I had lots to eat because I like to eat normal food whilst I’m away because I know that when I get back home, I’ll be eating plain chicken and ham sandwiches seeing as someone doesn’t know how to cook.” You said, looking directly at Leah.
“I know how to cook!” Leah exclaimed
Before Leah could fire back a response, your mum cut in, ending the debate.
“The suitcases are coming.”
Leah jumped up, walking towards the baggage carousel and standing patiently for the suitcases to come.
One by one, they all came. Now it was just yours.
You watched as people left with their luggage but your family stayed - waiting for one more suitcase.
The suitcases on the baggage carousels decreased until there was nothing left.
“Where’s my suitcase?” You asked, frowning whilst standing next to Leah who wore an identical frown.
“I don’t know. Wait here.”
Leah jogged to a nearby worker. You couldn’t hear what she was saying but she occasionally pointing back to the baggage carousel and to you.
The worker just responded with a shrug and pointed to an information desk at the far side of the building.
“We need to speak to the information desk.” Leah explained
“Is my suitcase lost?” You questioned, tears welling in your eyes at the thought of all your clothes and belongings being gone.
Leah charged through the crowds, you, your mum and your grandma following after her as you all approached the desk.
“I’d like to speak to a member of staff about a lost suitcase. My little sister’s suitcase is gone.” Leah started, looking at the lady who had started typing on her laptop.
“What airport have you come from?”
“Okay, I’ll just go check with a colleague to see if it’s fallen off the baggage carousel.” The woman told you, before quickly walking off.
“My feet are sore.” You complained
“We’ve been standing for like three minutes.” Leah said, giving you a confused look.
“Are you carrying a whole person? No.”
“At your scan, the midwife said Ryleigh was only 2.4 pounds. That’s barely anything.” Leah pointed out but before you could say anything to her, the staff member came back.
“Unfortunately there’s been no suitcase found in the plane or through baggage claim.”
“No, this isn’t acceptable. My daughter is six months pregnant and needs her suitcase.” Your mother cut in, stepping in front of you and Leah.
“There’s nothing more I can do. I can take your contact details and contact you if any suitcase is found.”
“Fine.” Your mum muttered, knowing there was nothing else anyone could do.
You gave the lady your contact details before finally leaving the airport.
“I can’t believe all my stuff is gone.” You cried once you got into the taxi.
“I know, bubba, but it means we get to go shopping now. Maybe if we see any baby clothes we can bring them back to England.” Leah told you, throwing her arm round you and rubbing your arm.
“I guess I could do with some new clothes.”
“You head inside, bubba.” Your mum told you, noticing how tired you looked from the long day.
The taxi hadn’t taken too long, but the past few hours had taken all the energy out of you.
From the early start, to the sickness, to the lost suitcase - nothing would be able to make your day better.
Until you turned the corner towards the villa door.
You immediately tackled him into a hug.
“You flew out from Australia?”
“I couldn’t miss a family holiday.”
Your mum, grandma, and Leah had now taken the suitcases out the car and had met you round the corner.
“Did you know about this?” You asked whilst Jacob hugged everyone else.
“We did. We also decided that you could use a bit of a surprise so we didn’t tell you.” Your mum said
“How’s my niece?” Jacob asked, his hand resting on your bump.
“She’s a pain in the ass. She kicks constantly, J.”
“It’s a sign that she’s going to be a baller.”
“Is someone going to help me with these or am I gonna have to do it by myself?” Leah questioned, dragging two suitcases behind her.
Jacob pulled a face, knowing that the question was aimed at him.
“You’re lucky you’re pregnant.”
It was few days into the holiday and your family had rented a boat for the day.
The sun was out, the water was refreshing and you were there with good company.
The only problem was, you hated deep water.
Paddling was fine because the water would only go up to your knees but thought deep water made your body go stiff.
“I think she grew overnight.” Leah said, as you took your shirt off, revealing the bikini and your bump.
“Maybe.” You told her, reaching for the sun cream.
“I’ll do it for you, darling.” Your mum quickly said, knowing it was a bit harder for you to apply.
You stood up so your mum could rub it on your back.
“Careful of the edge, kiddo.” Leah warned
“You’re carrying arsenals next best player so you better be careful.” She joked before turning back to her phone.
You should have listened to her but you didn’t.
Just as your mum was about to apply the cream, the boat hit a wave, sending you flying off the edge and into the water.
Your whole body submerged under the water.
You arose to the surface, catching your breath as you started sobbing.
“Le! Mum!” You tried to shout but it was no use, the water surrounding you and your shortness of breath making it hard to speak.
Leah - without a second thought - dove in after you.
“I’ve got you, bubba. Calm down.” She whispered as she attempted to swim you both back to the boat.
Jacob pulled you up onto the boat whilst Leah followed.
“You’re okay.” Jacob repeated over and over, holding you in his arms since you’d basically collapsed in them.
Your body shook as a result of the fear and shock of the incident.
The final days of the holiday were the only good ones.
You spent them hanging around the pool, tanning on the beach, and eating nice food at restaurants.
The holiday slowly came to an end and you’d only really realised it once you’d arrive back at the Spanish airport.
“Back here again. Still with no suitcase.” You mumbled, walking with your hand resting on your bump.
“Lucky for some.” Jacob said, dragging his two suitcases behind him.
“You shouldn’t have brought so much. Why did you bring two in the first place? We were only gone for a week.” You pointed out
Jacob looked at everyone else before looking at you.
“I packed so much because I’m actually going back to England with you. So I’ve had to pack for two weeks.”
Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“You’re coming back to see dad?”
“To see dad and to look at houses.” He revealed
“Wait.” You stopped dead in your tracks as you took in what he was saying. “You’re moving back to England?”
“I couldn’t not see my niece grow up.”
“J, this is incredible!” You exclaimed, tackling him into a hug. “You’re the best brother and uncle.”
“Nice surprise?” Leah asked with a big smile.
“You knew and didn’t tell me?” You asked, hitting her arm gently.
“Jacob told me to keep it a secret.” Leah shrugged.
“We’re gonna have our boy home.” Your grandma chimed in, wrapping her arm round Jacob.
Your mum also wrapped her arm round him whilst also bringing you and Leah into a group hug.
“Maybe this wasn’t the worst holiday after all. This makes up for all of it.”
