Ali was exhausted, but it was worth every single moment. She got more and more nervous that all her hard plans for the party would be spoiled if someone spilt the beans (namely her), but everyone sat on the surprise to perfect and when Leila and her boyfriend brought Andrew to the bar that evening, the place had been in darkness until the surprise was reveal and she swore Andrew nearly wet himself from shock. Ali had gone all out and spent $2,000 on a short slinky strapless silver dress to match her new shoes and showed off her legs. Tonight would probably be the last night she managed to get into a dress like that, and the cut and fabric didn't hide the fact she was three months pregnant at all, but for the first time she wasn't trying to hide it. She was pregnant and looking hot at her fiance's birthday party, which she had planned and pulled off to perfect. When she saw his face, and the grin as he sought her out in the crowd, the whole secret-keeping was more than worth it.
Of course he was a string of apologies then for doubting her, but she pushed him up against the bar and kissed him heatedly to shut up him up. From then on, the party was in full swing, with Tab, Lachlan and co with their band up on the stage. That had been a must. She wanted the music to be perfect, and later when the band finished their set, the Karaoke machine would be set up for anyone to jump in and have a go if they felt like it. There was a large, long table lining one wall of the bar covered in all sorts of food, with all the non-vegetarian dishes marked with little flags so Andrew would know what was what. In the middle of the table up on a pedestal was her ambulance cake and Andrew laughed, not quite believing anyone would want to go to this much trouble for his birthday. He kept telling her how gorgeous she was and how much he loved her. Ali enjoyed the attentions as they danced, not being able to get enough of him either.
She couldn't help but search her two best friends out in the crowd, though. She hadn't spoken to either of them, and didn't know what had gone down. All she knew was they both promised to be here tonight because she threatened to never speak to them again if they missed it, and that Harri was conspicuously absent. That didn't necessarily say all that much, though. Pat was in hospital, and that's why Aiden wasn't able to make it, despite being close friends with Andrew. Pat and Cameron didn't come either, for obvious reasons. Was Harri just absent because she was sticking by Aiden's side, or something much, much worse?
Andrew got dragged onto the dancefloor by Tab, so Ali took the opportunity to break from the dancefloor for a breather. She ordered an orange juice at the bar, rubbing at her back which was sore from the dancing. Her feet were hurting a little too, and not spending the previous day in her shoes didn't seem like such a good idea.
