"Okay, so we have the Hall picked out to hold the ceremony, right?" Joe asked.

"Yeah, we finally booked it. I can't believe we're getting married in a couple months..."

"I know. Before the baby arrives, we'll be married!" Joe grinned.

"I'm nervous," I said, putting down the wedding magazine I had bought.

"What about baby?"

"Well, I'm already pregnant and we're going to get married and I'm not even 21 yet."

"We don't have to get married right now," Joe shrugged, "We could always wait. I don't think there's a problem with not being married and having a kid together."

"It's not that I don't want to be married, it's that I'm afraid we're moving too fast, and pushing all of this. And not necessarily us either, like my parents definitely push our relationship too an-"

I was silenced by Joe giving me a kiss.

"It's the only way to shut you up," Joe laughed lightly, "Come on. We don't have to get married now. We'll wait a while. Maybe a few months, years, I don't know. But we'll wait until we feel it's right."

"Are you sure?" I asked quietly.

"Minx, as long as we're together, I don't care if we're married or engaged, or whatever," Joe smiled, "Anyway, you are quite young," He laughed.

"You're still not over that?!" I laughed, "It's not even three years! And appartenly I'm old enough to carry your baby," I smirked.

"Our baby," Joe said bluntly.

"I know, I was joking. Our baby," I smiled.

I know why that bothered him. Joe doesn't like it whenever anyone refers to the baby as his, only as ours. Because ever since what Rory said about Joe forcing his way onto me.

"I'm sorry Joe," I apologised again.

"It's alright. Come on," He nodded, putting the magazine to the side and giving me a kiss, "I'll call later to cancel the Hall."

"I feel bad," I breathed.

"We have more things to worry about than a wedding," Joe comforted me.

"Joe," I said, starting to cry a bit.

"Minxie, there's no need to cry. It's fine. Who said we have to get married now? We have our whole lives ahead of us."

"I'm sorry. I'm really tired and to be honest, I'm getting sick of being pregnant. I hate always being exhausted and whenever I look in the mirror I am disgusted. I feel like a whale," I cried.

"Minx, I'm sorry. You are literally one of the most beautiful pregnant women ever. Like seriously, you look f.ucking hot. And I'm not just saying that because we're together. Honestly, you look perfect!" Joe said calmly.

I wiped my tears.

"I'm sorry. It's all of my hormones."

"I know, baby. But I'm always here to listen and just be here for you, okay?"

"Mhm," I nodded.

"Anyway, tomorrow we get to find out the sex of the baby!" Joe grinned.

"Yeah, do you think it's a boy or girl?" I asked.

"I think it'll be a little girl," Joe nodded confidently, "What do you think?"

"I honestly have no idea," I smiled weakly, "But hopefully we'll find out tomorrow."

"Yeah, but for now, you should get some rest," He nodded, picking up whatever was on the bed and putting it away.

I changed into my pyjamas and Joe stripped into his underwear before getting in my bed.

"What time is it?" He asked me.

"Just past midnight. I'm going to get some water."

I got up and went into the kitchen to get myself a glass of water before going back to bed with Joe.

"It's weird sleeping at your place again," Joe smiled, laying on the bed on his back.

"Yeah," I agreed.

I laid on my side and grabbed an extra pillow and held onto it and wrapped my legs around it.

"What're you doing?" Joe asked curiously.

"I was reading online about how I haven't been sleeping well, and on one of thr websites it suggested doing this. It feels a lot more comfortable," I said as I closed my eyes.

Joe leaned over and turned off the lamp before giving me a small kiss and then leaning down to give my stomach a small kiss too.

"Miss. Minx Levins," The nurse said as she opened the door.

Joe and I both got up and followed her to the ultrasound room.

"Alright, so Dr. Fieldings will be right in," She smiled as she closed the door.

Joe held my hand and we waited in silence for Dr. Fieldings.

"Miss. Levins! How are you?" He grinned as he came in.

"I'm good, thank you."

"That's fantastic. So your five month ultrasound! Has it already been that long?! Oh my God!" He laughed.

He squirted the gel on my stomach and started the ultrasound.

"So, today you can learn the sex of your baby, if you want. Do you want to?"

"Yes, please!" I smiled.

"Well, you are expecting a little boy!" Dr. Fieldings smiled.

"A boy!" I smiled.

"I was wrong!" Joe laughed playfully.

"He seems healthy and is actually a bit big for how far along you are. Which is both a good and bad thing."

"How so?" Joe asked.

"Well, if your little boy continues growing at this rate, it can possibly lead to complications during birth and labour, especially because of how petite you are," He explained, "But it's good because it means your baby is growing and is healthy."

"Alright," I nodded meekly.

"Don't worry. It'll all work out," Dr. Fieldings grinned as he put away the ultrasound, "I'll get your pictures again."

"Thank you," I nodded.

Once Dr Fieldings left the room, I held Joe's hand.

"Great, that makes me more nervous."

"Minxie, you heard the doctor, you'll be fine," Joe smiled, "And we still have a while."

"Not that long. I'm already over half way through!" I laughed.

"You'll be perfectly fine, I promise," Joe smiled, giving me a small kiss as I sat up.

"Alright, here are your pictures. And you're done here today!"

"Thank you," I smiled.

"Miss. Levins, you'll be alright. Don't worry about labour and what-not, you will be good," Dr. Fieldings nodded.

"Thank you," I smiled meekly as we left.

Joe and I left to go and stop my mum and James' house to give them a new ultrasound picture.

"Oh Minx and Joe! You just caught us, we were just about to go out for the afternoon," My mum greeted, opening the door as she put on one of her heels.

"Sorry. We just got back from our ultrasound and wanted to stop by to give you another ultrasound picture," I smiled.

"Aw let me see!" She said excitedly as we came inside, "Wait! Did you find out the gender?!"

"Yeah," I smiled.

"Well, go on. What is it?!" My mum fussed.

"A boy!" I smiled.

"Aw! How wonderful! A little baby boy!" My mum gushed.

James came downstairs and gave me a hug and once again congratulated Joe and I.

"Have you thought of names?!" My mum asked.

"No, we'll have to start thinking though," Joe nodded.

"Only four more months! How exciting!"

"Yeah! Well we'll be going now. We just wanted to stop by to let you know!" I grinned.

"Alright. Well we'd better get going anyway. We're going to a business meeting then to a party for dinner."

"Oh, well have fun and be safe," I giggled.

"Ditto darling."

Joe and I got back in the car and let it warm up a bit before driving back to my flat.

"I'm hungry," I groaned as we drove back.

"Let's stop and get food. What do you want?" Joe asked.

"Anything."

Joe pulled up to the nearest fast-food restaurant and went through the drive-thru for some food.

"Mm, thank you," I smiled as I ate some of the food.

"Anything for you, love," He smirked.
