"Promise this isn't a joke?! I'm not being pranked am I?!" My mum laughed.

"No," Joe laughed, "It's real."

"Mum!" I laughed.

"I'm so happy for you two! What about the wedding?" My mum asked.

"We'll just have it a bit sooner," I shrugged.

"Aw well congratulations," My mum smiled, "Can I keep this picture?"

"Of course," Joe grinned.

My mum kept fussing and going on about me being pregnant.

"Alright, I think we're going to head out now," I smiled after we had all paid.

"Okay, be safe now, alright?" James smiled.

"I know, I know," I grinned.

Joe held my hand as we walked out of the restaurant and headed to the car.

"I think we're seeing Zoe tomorrow, she mentioned coming to London to do a Halloween special collab, so we can tell her then," Joe smiled.

"Okay," I smiled, leaning over to give Joe a kiss.

"Are you happy?" Joe asked, resting his hand on my thigh as he drove.

"Yeah. Obviously it's unexpected and I'm a bit nervous, but I mean, it's good thing," I grinned.

"Yup, don't worry Minxie!" Joe smiled cheesily.

"You're so cute!" I giggled, getting the feels over how adorable and hot he is.

"Minx Levins! How many times do we have to go over this?! I am not cute! I'm handsome!" Joe joked, laughing.

"Hm, well I think you're very cute... In a manly way!" I giggled.

"I'll take it!" He laughed.

As we pulled up to my flat, there were a couple of people stood outside smoking and at first I didn't even think about it, but once I got a good whiff of the smoke, I could feel myself about to throw-up.

"F.uck," I groaned.

I leaned over a nearby bin as I threw up.

"Minxie," Joe said sympathetically, knowing what it was from.

He held back my hair and rubbed my back.

"You okay?" Joe asked.

I nodded, spitting a little in the bin before we continued back to the flat. Once inside, I went to brush my teeth before changing out of my dress and heels.

"Here's some water," Joe smiled.

"Thank you."

"Darn you baby!" Joe joked, talking to my stomach, "Making Minxie throw up!"

"It's alright," I smiled.

"I don't like seeing you be sick," Joe pouted playfully.

"Aw," I blushed, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Anyway! Tomorrow is Halloween!" Joe said, changing the subject.

"I know I'm so excited!" I grinned.

"I don't know if we should still go to that party...?"

"What? Why?"

"Just the baby. I don't want you to feel sick or get tired, I don't know I'm just worried. We could still dress up and pass out candy?"

"Yeah, that sounds easier and more relaxing. I can still party, I just don't think it's good for the baby either," I agreed.

"And I sort of think people will catch on if you're not drinking."

"I didn't even think of that!"

"I'm nervous to tell Zoe tomorrow," Joe said as he laid on my bed in now just his underwear.

"Don't be," I smiled, giving him a kiss.

I am so exhausted, I could just fall asleep right now. I laid next to Joe and was slowly drifting in and out of sleep as we continued talking.

"You can go to sleep Minxie," Joe smiled playfully, as he noticed I was really close to sleep.

"I love you," I smiled, nodding off to sleep.

"I love you too. And our baby," He said, putting his hand on my stomach.

"Yeah, I'll come and pick you up right now, sorry, I overslept. We're at Minxie's flat... No, she's still asleep... Yes! I'm leaving in one minute," I heard Joe say, awaking me.

I turned over in bed and saw him hanging up his phone.

"Zoe just got here, I'm going to go pick her up. Do you want me to bring her here or take her to my flat and you come over whenever you want?"

"Yeah, you can take her to your flat and I'll meet you there in a while," I smiled.

"Alright. Be careful, okay?"

"Of course," I smiled.

"Okay. See you later," He smiled, giving me a kiss on the forehead, "And I'll lock the door on my out."

"Thank you."

I closed my eyes and went back to sleep for a short while before getting up and getting in the shower.

I am always really cautious now about staying home alone. I used to always listen to music in the shower and while I was home alone in general, but now I refuse to because of Rory. I always make sure all the doors are locked and windows too.

When I got dressed, I put on a sweater I had gotten specifically for Halloween which said:

"Happy Halloween Witches!"

Everytime I read it, it makes me laugh.

I slipped on some black hole-y skinny jeans and the big sweater and put my hair in a high pony-tail. Slipping on some Converse, I got my bag and then went down to get in my car and headed over to Joe's flat.

"Hey Minx! Happy Halloween!" Zoe smiled, giving me a huge hug as I walked in.

"Hi! How are you?!" I smiled excitedly.

"I'm great! How are you?"

"Brilliant," I smiled.

"Okay! Shall we get filming?" Joe smiled.

"Yeah!" Zoe grinned.

I followed them downstairs and took my spot at Joe's desk chair while they filmed.

"Are you two going to the party tonight?!" Zoe asked excitedly after they had finished filming.

Joe got up and turned off the camera and smirked at me.

"No," He shook his head to Zoe.

"What?! Why not?!" Zoe asked.

"Well..." Joe smiled.

"What's going on?!"

"Minx hasn't been too well," Joe smiled.

"Are you okay? You seem fine."

"Yeah, I feel fine, it's just that-"

"She's pregnant!" Joe smiled excitedly.

"What?" Zoe questioned dumbfounded but smiling.

"I'm pregnant," I smiled.

"Really?!" Zoe smiled, "Or is this another one of Joe's pranks?"

"Honestly! Wait one second," I said grabbing my bag by Joe's bed.

"It must be bad when so far both the people we've told thought it was a prank!" Joe laughed.

I agreed and took out one of the ultrasound pictures and handed it to her.

"Oh my God! Is that the baby?!" She grinned excitedly.

"Yeah," I smiled.

"Wait, was it expected?" Zoe asked, giddy from the new news.

"Oh no!" I shook my head, "Joe was the one who actually made me take the tests because I was adamant that I was not pregnant."

"How far along are you?"

"Six weeks," Joe answered.

"And you never noticed?!" Zoe asked me.

"Nope!" I shrugged.

"Wow! Well congratulations you guys! I'm so excited!" Zoe fussed.

"Me too!" Joe smiled, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Hey! What's everybody so excited for?!" Caspar smiled as he walked in Joe's room.

"Umm," Zoe said, looking at Joe and I.

I looked at Joe, who looked at me and shrugged. I slightly nodded.

"We're keeping this generally quiet for a while, so you can't say anything," Joe smiled.

"Okay, I won't," Caspar smiled.

"Minxie's pregnant," Joe grinned.

"With a baby?!" Caspar said excited.

"What else would I be pregnant with?!" I laughed.

"Yay! Congratulations! That's amazing!" Caspar cheered, giving me a hug, "Oh! Sorry!" He apologised, touching my stomach.

"You're fine!" I laughed.

"I'm going to be a uncle!"

"Uncle Caspar," Joe laughed.

"Oh God!" I giggled.

"When are you guys going to tell the internet?" Zoe asked.

"We haven't really discussed that yet," Joe shrugged.

"I think we'll wait a bit," I nodded.

"Anyway! I'm seriously happy for you two! Even though it was unexpected, I'm glad you guys are happy!"

"So, that's why we're not going to the party tonight!" I laughed.

"Now I understand!" Zoe laughed.
