"I think that's the last trick-or-treater tonight," I yawned, turning off the front light and closing the door.

"Me too, it's getting late," Joe nodded.

"I'm exhausted and I think I've eaten more of this candy that we've handed out," I giggled.

"That's fine baby," Joe smiled.

I put the candy away before joining Joe on the sofa. He ran his fingers through my hair as I laid my head on his lap.

"I feel so gross," I muttered.

"Why?"

"I don't know. I feel old because I'm always tired and feeling sick, sore, and fat and the pregnancy's barely getting going," I groaned.

"You are not old!" Joe laughed, "Or fat! And you're pregnant, you're quite literally making another person, I'm pretty sure that'll make you tired and sore."

"I know, but still," I shrugged.

"I'm actually surprised on how you're handling all of this, because of how quick it's all happening," Joe smiled.

"Well, I'm extremely nervous. I'm terrified to give birth and labour. I'm scared to be a mum. Also, I'm afraid I'll not think about something and end up hurting the baby."

"You're worrying too much," Joe smirked.

"I know, but it's what I think about. Like what if I'm a horrible mother?!"

"How? How would you be a 'horrible mother'?"

"I don't know," I groaned, "But right now, everything's a possibility!"

"Calm down and don't worry so much. I'm sure that's not good for the baby," Joe smiled, leaning down and giving me a kiss on the temple.

"See, I'm already messing up," I breathed.

"No, Minxie, you'll be a perfect mum. As long as we have each other, this will all work out. Remember what the old man, Charlie, said on the plane back from Miami?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

"So, we'll be fine," Joe nodded, "Anyway, I don't mean to natter, but we should probably go to bed."

"Yes!" I playfully cheered.

So far, I've noticed that not only am I constantly tired and the smell of smoke makes me throw up, I've also been keen to changing my mood, unintentionally of course. One minute I'll be sad and then I'll be happy and vis versa.

"Come on," Joe laughed lightly as he got up from the couch.

I got up and changed into my pyjamas, stopping to look at my almost nonexistent baby bump.

"See, that's the baby," I smiled, rubbing my stomach to show Joe the small bump.

"It just looks like you've eaten a bit too much," He joked.

"Thanks," I laughed sarcastically.

"Hm, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Joe asked.

"Oh God, I have no idea," I smiled, laying down next to Joe.

Joe leaned over to turn off the lamp.

"Minxie?"

"Hm?" I mumbled.

"I love you," Joe said quietly.

"I love you too," I smiled as I fell asleep.

°

"F.uck," I groaned, jumping out of bed.

I ran into the bathroom and threw up in toilet.

"Minx?" Joe said as he woke up.

I heard him get out of bed and then he came and held my hair back as I continued throwing up.

"I'm sorry baby," Joe muttered as he rubbed my back.

I took some toilet paper and wiped my mouth. I brushed my teeth before joining Joe back in bed.

"What time is it?" I mumbled.

"Just past three in the morning," Joe yawned.

"I'm sorry," I apologised for waking him up.

"Don't be sorry! It's just as much my fault," Joe smirked, laying back down and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I closed my eyes and fell back to sleep, trying to ignore the sick feeling in my stomach.

°

When I woke up the next morning, Joe was laid next to me on his laptop, editing a video.

"Morning baby, how're you feeling?"

"Alright," I smiled.

I put on one of my jumpers as it was a bit chilly and I then put on the heater.

Just as I laid back down on the bed, my phone rang.

"It's Nora," Joe said, handing me my phone.

"Okay," I nodded, "Hello?"

"Hi Minx! How are you?"

"Good, Joe and I actually found out something exciting the other day!" I grinned.

"What?!" Nora asked.

"I'm pregnant!"

"Really?! That's awesome!" Nora said excitedly.

"Joe and I are really excited, but we're keeping it on the down-low, so please don't say anything, yeah? Anyway, how's Noelle?"

"No problem! She's good! She sleeps and eats a lot!" Nora laughed.

"Aw, yeah," I smiled.

"Yeah, I was just calling to see how you are. The pregnancy going well so far?"

"Yeah, as well as it could go. I get sick sometimes, but the doctor said that's normal."

"Yeah, morning sickness, I had it a bit."

Nora talked for a bit longer, but I soon said I needed to go and got off the phone. Simply because I felt too tired to talk to her.

"Everything alright?" Joe asked as I hung up the phone.

"Yeah, I was not feeling up to really talking to her," I shrugged.

"Oh. Well, I was thinking today, do you want to go into town and look around some shops?"

"Yeah," I nodded, smiling.

"Is it okay if I vlog today then? I just need something to upload on my second channel.

"That's fine," I smiled.

I got up to get in the shower and I heard Joe start vlogging as I closed the bathroom door. Once I had finished in the shower, I opened the door slightly to make sure he wasn't still vlogging, because I was in my towel.

"You alright there?" Joe smirked.

"Yeah, I was just making sure you weren't still vlogging," I laughed lightly.

"Nah, just editing again," He grinned.

I went over to my closet and picked out my outfit for the day. Before going back into the bathroom to put a bit of make-up on.

"I'm ready whenever you are," I smiled.

"Okay, we'll stop at my flat so I can get changed, yeah?"

"Of course," I nodded, putting on a jacket and scarf.

Joe quickly put on his clothes from yesterday and slipped on his shoes and we left.

"Minxie! How are you feeling?" Caspar asked as we arrived.

"I'm fine," I giggled.

"Is the baby okay?" He asked.

"Of course!"

"Just making sure. I still can't believe you are pregnant!" He said excitedly.

Joe went downstairs to get dressed and I hung out with Caspar upstairs.

"Caspar, mate, you can come out with us if you want?" Joe said as he came back upstairs.

"Thanks, but nah, I actually have another f.ucking meeting," Caspar groaned.

"Sorry mate," Joe said.

"But you two have fun, and be safe!" Caspar said, looking at me.

"Oh God!" I giggled.

Joe and I left the flat and Joe drove us to a shopping centre. He held my hand as we walked around and looked in the shops.

"Oh my God! ThatcherJoe! I love your videos so much. I'm so excited for you and Minx to get married!" A fan fussed as she came up.

"Aw thanks love," Joe smiked, giving her a side-hug.

"Can I get a picture with both of you?" She asked.

"Sure. What's your name darling?"

"Makayla."

"Pretty name," I smiled.

"Aw thank you!" She smiled.

Joe held her phone as we all took a selfie together.

"Thank you so much!" Makayla grinned.

"You're very welcome!" Joe nodded.

We continued walking around and Joe held my hand as he vlogged.

"Let's look in- nevermind," Joe said, turning off the camera.

"What?"

"I almost just suggested we look in there," Joe said, nodding towards a baby store, "I keep forgetting it's a secret still."

"It's okay. I do too, but I still want to wait a bit to tell the internet."

"Oh, me too. But I don't think before I talk," Joe laughed.

"Oh whatever," I laughed.

We walked around for a while longer before I started getting really tired and my feet were sore from walking so much.

"I feel so lazy!" I groaned as we got in the car to head back to my flat.

"Don't worry about it. We've already talked about it," Joe smiled.

"I know."

We arrived back at my flat and relaxed for a bit.

"I'm sorry I'm so boring because I'm always tired," I groaned.

"No need to apologise baby," Joe laughed lightly.

There was a knock at the door and Joe quickly got up to open it.

"For f.uck's sake Minx!" I heard as someone stormed in.

"Get the h.ell out. Minx, call the police!" Joe yelled angrily.

"Rory?" I said stunned as I reached for my phone.

"You're f.ucking pregnant?!"

"Rory, leave! Now!" Joe yelled.

"Police, what's your emergency?"
