"Minx? I wasn't expecting you until later," My mum said as she answered the door.

"Not you too," I groaned, "I've just been worried about Noah."

"Where's Joe?"

"At my flat."

"Is everything okay?" My mum asked.

"Yeah," I nodded flatly.

"Alright darling. Well Noah is asleep in the baby carrier," My mum nodded.

"Perfect, thank you," I said, as I picked up his baby bag.

"Are you sure everything's okay?" My mum asked again.

"Yes. I'm just frustrated and tired," I said, sitting on the sofa to pack Noah's bottles.

"Do you want us to take Noah for the night?" My mum asked, "So you can have a full nights sleep?"

"No, that'll make it worse," I breathed.

"Okay darling. Is everything between you and Joe okay? I know having a baby can bring stress to any relationship."

"We're fine," I huffed.

"Okay."

"Sorry Mum. I just need to get home. I'm tired," I nodded.

"I love you darling."

"I love you too Mum."

I gave her a quick hug and picked up Noah in the baby carrier before heading back to my flat.

"Shh," I hummed as Noah woke up and started crying on the way home.

Once I parked up, I hopped out of the car and tended to Noah, quickly carrying him inside.

"Shush," I whispered, taking him out of the baby carrier and holding him.

I sat down and fed him so he would calm down.

"Is he okay?" Joe asked.

"Mhm," I nodded, looking at Noah to avoid eye contact with Joe.

"I love you Minx," Joe said quietly, sitting down next to me.

"Love you too," I said, a bit too sharply.

"Minxie, please. Everything's fine," Joe hummed, rubbing my shoulders.

"Everything's not fine," I huffed.

"Okay, then what's wrong?"

"I don't want to be a hover parent. I just, I don't know," I breathed.

"You're not a hover parent, you just care a lot for Noah. We'll be fine," Joe smiled as he kissed the back of my neck.

Noah had stopped feeding and had fallen asleep, so I went and laid him in his bassinet before going into the kitchen and grabbing two bottles of beer.

"Here," I said, handing one to Joe.

"Should you be drinking?" He questioned.

"I can. As long as I don't feed Noah for a few hours," I shrugged.

"Okay," Joe nodded.

I opened the bottle and downed a bit of it. I've forgotten the yummy taste of alcohol since being pregnant.

"Slow down there baby," Joe laughed lightly.

"I know," I giggled.

"I enjoyed tonight," Joe smirked.

"Eh, it was alright. I don't like arguing with you," I shook my head.

"It turns me on when you're yelling," Joe smirked again.

"Joe!" I blushed.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No," I shook my head.

Joe leaned in and gave me a light kiss. I quickly finished my bottle of beer and cuddled next to Joe.

"Do you still want to get married?" Joe whispered quietly.

"Yeah," I smiled, "After you get that f.ucking thing off."

"I'm sorry, about earlier," I apologised.

"Shh, we don't need to talk about it. We're okay now," Joe hummed.

"Yeah, okay," I nodded.

Joe and I eventually went back into my room, this time to fall asleep. Thankfully when Noah woke up in the middle of the night, Joe changed his nappy and put him back to sleep.

The next few days were filled with errands amd taking care of Noah. However, today we are hanging out at Joe's flat and he'a filming a video for this week's Sugg Sunday.

"I think I'm going to do another Q&A. I've uploaded quite a few challenges recently," Joe said.

"Okay," I nodded, "Have you already chosen the questions?"

"No, I'm going to tweet out now and read some off as I go along," Joe nodded.

"Okay," I smiled, giving him a small kiss.

Joe went downstairs and started filming. I usually go downstairs to watch and help him in any way, but Joe and I decided not to because the bright lights he uses for filming.

He must have left his door open, because I can hear nearly everything he's saying. He addressed the cast on his leg and then was talking about Noah.

"Here they are! Minxie and Noah!" Joe smiled as he came upstairs, using his vlogging camera to record.

"This will be his first time on your main channel, yeah?"

"Oh yeah! Say, 'Hello' Noah," Joe laughed lightly.

Noah looked around, looking at the camera and reached out to touch it.

"Aw, Noah. That's Daddy's," I laughed lightly, holding his hand. Noah wrapped his hand around my finger and Joe gave him a small kiss on the forehead. Joe continued talking into the camera and I continued holding Noah and scrolling on Joe's laptop.

"We don't want him in front of the other camera down there, because the bright lights, and well, yeah," Joe rambled.

He soon headed back downstairs to continue his Q&A, only to finish about an hour later.

"Here you go," I smiled, handing him his laptop.

"Thanks Minxie. But I'll think I'll edit a bit later," He nodded.

"Where's Noah?!" Caspar asked giddily as he came inside upstairs.

I let out a small laugh and gave Joe a kiss before heading upstairs and letting Caspar hold Noah before I joined Joe back downstairs.

"How's your ankle feeling?" I asked.

"Itchy," Joe laughed lightly, "And I can't itch it because of this cast!" He groaned.

"Not too long now," I nodded.

"Yeah, well," Joe shrugged, "Oh! But then we can get married!"

"Well, I think we'll need to start planning it first," I laughed.

"Do you still want it at the same hall we had booked a while ago?"

"Yeah," I smiled, "It's so pretty."

"Okay, well, I'll call them in a bit and see when they have an opening in a few months."

"Okay," I grinned, happily, "We should also meet up with my mum soon."

"I'll let you handle that," Joe nodded

"Okie dokie," I smiled.

"Hm, someone's in a good mood," Joe laughed lightly.

"I'm excited," I smiled, giving Joe a kiss, before going upstairs to see Caspar and Noah.

"Aw man!" Caspar huffed as we came up the stairs.

"What happened?"

"He was sick on me," Caspar laughed lightly.

"Aw, sorry Casp!" Joe said, rushing to take Noah from Caspar.

"Sorry!" I apologised.

"Don't worry about it. It'll wash out, right?"

"Yes! Don't worry! If it didn't, I'd be out of clothes!" I laughed.

"Okay," Caspar laughed as he went downstairs to clean up.

Joe cleaned Noah up too and changed his clothes.

"Thank you baby," I smiled.

"No," Joe pouted playfully.

"Hm?"

"I call you 'baby.'"

"Oh shush," I laughed lightly, giving him a small kiss.

"I love you, baby," Joe smiled.

"Love you too," I said quickly as Noah started crying, "What's wrong, Noah?"

"Does his nappy need changing?" Joe said, checking it, "Mhm."

"I'll do it," I said, taking Noah.

"Thanks Minxie."

I went downstairs where all Noah's nappies were and laid him on the mat I put on Joe's bed and changed him.
