"Joe! Look at this!" I laughed, calling for Joe.

"Hm?" He said, drinking his Fiji water.

"Look on Twitter! People are saying that I'm pregnant!" I laughed.

"What the h.ell?!" Joe laughed.

"Yeah, look!" I laughed, "Wait! What does that mean? Do they think I look pregnant?!"

"Let me see," Joe laughed.

I put his laptop on his lap and he scrolled through the posts.

"This is random," Joe laughed, shaking his head.

"Minxie!" Caspar yelled from downstairs, I could hear him running upstairs, "You're pregnant?!"

"No!" I laughed, "We don't know how this happened!"

"Well, it's trending on Twitter," Joe chimed in.

"What the f.uck?!" I laughed.

"Should I tweet something, saying we're not expecting?" Joe suggested.

"Hm, yeah," I nodded.

"Where did this come from?" Caspar asked.

"We have no idea, I just logged on to Twitter and it was trending!"

Joe's phone started ringing.

"It's Zoe, she probably saw Twitter," Joe said before answering the phone, "Hey."

"Joe?" I could hear Zoe through the phone.

"Yeah...?" Joe smirked.

"Did you get Minx pregnant?!" She asked.

"N-no!" Joe laughed.

"Why is it all over Twitter?!"

"We don't know!" Joe laughed, "I'm going to tweet about it right now!"

"Okay! Oh my God! I was so excited," Zoe laughed, "But mad because you two didn't tell me! You might want to call Mum and Dad to make sure they know it's fake."

"Yeah, I will do, let me send out this tweet first," Joe said.

They said good-byes to each other before hanging up.

Joe sent out a tweet, 'All of these pregnancy rumours, are FAKE! Minxie and I are NOT expecting any babies!'

I went on my phone and retweeted Joe's tweet. I don't know why I thought this was so funny, probably because of how random it all was.

"Hi Dad, have you been on Twitter recently?" Joe lightly laughed, "Oh okay, well when you on, there rumours everything saying I have gotten Minx pregnant!... Oh course it's just rumours! No! She's not pregnant!"

"Oh my gosh!" I giggled as Joe talked to Graham.

"Alright, yeah, I'll call Mum now. Okay, talk to you later," Joe nodded before hanging up the phone.

"I'm just going to call my mum real quick, she has a Twitter, but doesn't always use it, so I don't know," Joe shrugged.

"No problem," I smiled, giving him a small kiss.

"Hi Mum!" Joe smiled.

"I'm sorry. I've been on the phone with Zoe and Dad. Yeah, don't worry... It's not true, no. You sound like Minx's mum now!" He laughed awkwardly, "No, I don't think she wants a baby right now... Mum, she only turned twenty a few months ago."

"Joseph! Work with me here!" I could hear Joe's mum laugh through the phone.

They talked for a small bit longer before hanging up.

"Do I look fat? Is that why these rumours started?" I questioned, standing up and turning to the side.

"No baby," Joe assured me.

I lifted my shirt to show my stomach.

"Caspar, do I look pregnant?" I asked him.

"No!" Caspar shook his head.

"Minxie, you're fine, I promise. People just get bored and make up stuff like this for fun," Joe said, running his hands softly on my stomach.

"Speaking of which," I nodded.

I quickly went downstairs and rummaged through my bag to get the foil pill packet. I got one of the pills and went back upstairs.

"Can I have some of your water?" I asked Joe.

He nodded and handed me the bottle. I took a sip and swallowed the pill.

Joe playfully slapped my bum and gave me a kiss as I put his water bottle back on the table.

"Calm down you two," Caspar laughed.

"Minx! It's been too long!" Nora smiled as she arrived at my flat.

"Nora! How are you?" I gushed, giving her a big hug.

"I'm great! How are you?!"

"Good, Joe's actually here. He's just in my room editing a video, so we can hang-out out here," I nodded, "Want a drink?"

"I'm good, thanks."

We sat on the sofa and caught up with each other.

"How's life been?" I asked Nora.

"Great! I've been working at a clothing store. And I met a guy..." She smirked.

"Who?!" I said giddily.

"His name is Eric, he's American, but he's recently moved here! He's so dreamy!" Nora gushed.

"Aw! Cute! Do you have any pictures?" I asked.

"Um, yeah," Nora nodded, pulling out her phone.

She showed me a picture of him. He was really cute. He had short brown hair and crazy blue eyes. And he was really buff.

"Wow!" I smirked.

"I know, right?!" Nora giggled, blushing.

"You really like him, huh?"

"Mhm," She blushed.

"How long have you known him?"

"A few months," Nora grinned.

"You've slept with him, haven't you?!" I laughed.

I can just tell by the way she is acting.

"Mhm," Nora nodded, blushing even more.

"Cute!" I giggled.

"How long was it before you and Joe slept together?" Nora asked.

"Oh, um, let me think. Maybe a couple weeks...? But have you seen on Twitter recently?"

"Yeah, but I saw Joe's tweet, so I assumed it was fake. Right?"

"Yeah," I laughed, "I'm not pregnant. But both my mum and his mum wants us to have a baby. I think they're crazy!"

"You're still young! But I think you two would make great parents, for future reference," Nora laughed.

"Oh my God!" I laughed.

"Do you think I'd make a good parent?" Nora asked seriously.

"Of course!" I smiled, "...Wait, are you pregnant?" I whispered.

"Oh hey Nora!" Joe smiled as he came out of my room, headphones around his neck and an empty cup in his hand.

"Hi Joe."

"How ya been?"

"Great, you?"

"Fantastic," Joe smirked, glancing at me.

"Anyway... Nora?" I questioned.

Joe went back into my room and Nora slowly nodded.

"Oh my God! Congratulations! Does Eric know?!" I smiled.

"Yeah, at first he was shocked. But he's more okay with it now," Nora smiled.

Wow. Nora's pregnant, she is a few years older than me, she had been held back a year in secondary school, so although she was not in my year, I was still able to get to know her and we became close.

"Wow! How far along are you?"

"Two months," She smiled.

"Wow! Are you excited?!" I said giddy.

"Very!"

"When do I get to meet Eric?" I smiled.

"I'd love for you to meet him! Are you and Joe free tomorrow evening? We can go on a double date!"

"Yeah!" I smiled.

Nora and I planned out everything for tomorrow and where we would meet up. We planned to have a nice dinner and then we could come back to my place to hang-out for a while if we wanted to.

"Well, I start the night shift tonight, so I better go so I have time to see Eric and relax before I start my shift."

"Well thanks for coming around! I've missed you! I am so excited for your baby!" I grinned excitedly.

"I've missed you too! We really need to keep more contact! See you later!"

"Definitely! Alright take care, see you tomorrow!"

Nora left and I went into my room with Joe.

"How's Nora doing?" Joe asked.

"Oh my God! I need to fill you in!" I said, jumping to sit next to him on my bed.

"Uh oh," Joe said sarcastically.

"No, just listen!" I smiled, "So she met a guy, Eric, who moved here from America. They hit it off, and guess what?!"

"Hm?" Joe asked, seeming a bit disinterested.

"She's pregnant!" I said excitedly.

"Maybe everyone on Twitter meant her, not us," Joe joked.

"Oh shush."

"How pregnant is she?"

"'How pregnant is she?'" I laughed, "She's two months along."

"Cool, good for her."

"Oh, and we're going out tomorrow with her and Eric."

"Okay," Joe smiled, as he finished editing his video.

"I'm so happy for her!" I smiled.

"Don't go all baby-crazy on me!" Joe laughed.

"I think it's cute that she's having a baby, but trust me, I do not want a baby," I smiled, leaning my hands on Joe's chest and giving him a kiss.

"Phew, good," Joe smirked, returning my kiss.
