"Minxie," Joe hummed as I woke up.

"Hm?" I smiled, moving closer to Joe.

Joe wrapped his arm around me and put the other arm on my stomach. I pushed his hair out of his face and he gave me a small kiss.

"I love you so much," Joe said quietly.

"I love you too," I giggled lightly.

"What's funny?"

"Nothing. You've just been telling me that a lot recently," I smiled.

"I don't want you to forget it."

I smiled, closing my eyes as I put my head against his chest. After cuddling for a bit longer, we eventually got up and had breakfast with Graham.

"So are you two planning on moving in with each other once Noah arrives?"

"Not right away because I've only recently signed a six-month contract and my flat is only small and one room."

"Ah, I see," He nodded, shovelling food into his mouth.

"So what're you doing today, Dad?"

"I'm going to go run some errands and go to the market, not much happens around here."

"That's alright. I think we'll hang-out here and then when you get back, we'll stay for a bit longer and then head out," Joe nodded.

"Sounds good."

And we did just that. After Graham got back from errands we sat around and talked and watched television. Joe is trying to persuade his dad to come to stay at his flat so they can film a video together.

"Everyone loves 'Daddy Sugg'!" Joe laughed.

"Well, it looks like you'll be taking my spot, eh?" Graham laughed.

"You'll still be original 'Daddy Sugg'!" I laughed lightly.

"We'd better start heading back. I wanted to get on the road before it got dark, but that's alright," Joe shrugged.

"Okay, take care," Graham nodded, giving us each a hug.

Joe loaded up the car and I went to turn it on so it would warm up a bit before Joe got in. He was saying good-bye to his dad and giving his another hug before joining me in the car.

"Let's go Minxie!" He said loudly, joking around.

"I didn't realise how late it had gotten," I yawned lightly.

"I know, time flew by today," Joe nodded as he focused on the road.

I grabbed the pillow again and held it as I dozed in and out of sleep.

"You don't know- oh, oh- you don't know you're beautiful! That's what makes you beautiful!" Joe sang loudly, slightly dancing as he drove.

It blasted through the radio and Joe giddily sang along.

"I remember when I went to see them, we had to get moved so many times because of fans..."

"You saw One Direction?!" I laughed.

"H.ell yeah! It was awesome!"

"Honestly, I had never really listened to them before hearing them with you," I giggled.

"Oh my God," Joe joked, "Zoe got to interview them at one point in time."

"Wow, that must've been cool. Aren't they like sixteen though?"

"No, they're only a few years younger than me! Like your age!" Joe laughed at my obliviousness about them.

"I know there's Harry and Luis-"

"It's Louis."

"Sorry, Louis," I laughed.

"There's two more of them," Joe laughed.

"Oh God. I don't know," I shook my head.

"Harry, Liam, Louis, and Niall."

"Oh, alright then."

"Zayn was there, but he left."

"What a pity," I said sarcastically.

"Alright. Anyway, how's Noah doing?" Joe smiled.

"Mm, yeah, I think he's alright," I giggled.

"Good," Joe smiled, as he put his hand on my thigh.

We drove for another hour before arriving back at my flat, just because it was closer on the way back.

"It's only quarter past 11. I thought it was later than that," I commented.

"Me too," Joe yawned.

"I think I'm going paint my nails," I smiled.

"Hm? Alright," Joe shrugged.

I got up and went into the bathroom to get a nail varnish. Then I went to sit back next to Joe on the sofa and tried to paint my nails.

"Aw, that smells rank," Joe laughed at the smell of the varnish.

"I'm sorry," I giggled.

"Are you sure that's even safe?" He laughed.

"Well, I don't think most women around the world would paint their nails if it was not safe," I shrugged.

"It's smells," Joe shook his head as he laid down, putting his legs behind me as I leaned forward to paint my nails.

"You smell," I retorted, jokingly.

"Hey!" Joe defended, "No, I don't."

"Mhm, alright," I smirked.

"I don't know how to feel about this sass," Joe laughed.

"It's not sass, it's truth," I giggled.

I was lying, obviously, he didn't smell bad, but it's funny when he gets upset and starts joking around... And the nail varnish doesn't smell that bad.

"I never smell as bad as that," Joe shook his head.

"Matter of opinion," I smirked.

"Do I really smell bad?" He asked concerned.

"No," I laughed.

"What the h.ell, Minxie?" Joe laughed, sitting up and playfully, and lightly, pushing me.

"You made me mess up!"

"You lied," He laughed.

"It was funny though!" I laughed, getting up to wipe off the nail varnish because I had gotten it all over my hand.

"Hm, sure," He laughed lightly, laying back down and closing his eyes.

I cleaned off the nail varnish and then decided to just give up and put it away. I went to change into my pyjamas. My once loose pyjama top has become more fitted because of Noah.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were going to bed," Joe apologised as he came in while I was still changing.

"You're fine," I shrugged, "It's not like you haven't seen it all before."

Joe nodded and he flopped down on the bed.

"What's up?"

"I'm just tired," Joe mumbled as he had his eyes closed.

"Well, go to sleep. I'm going to bed."

"I'm too lazy to take off my clothes."

"Joe," I huffed playfully, as I reached down to unbuckle his jeans.

I eventually got them off.

"You're such a child," I teased.

"Says you..." Joe smirked.

"Oh shush," I smiled, giving him a kiss and getting into bed.

°

"Mm, Joe," I nudged him to turn off his alarm.

"Mm," He groaned as he reached for his phone.

He turned off his alarm, silencing the abrasive beeping, before quickly falling back asleep.

"Joe, wake up," I nudged him again.

"I know, I know," Joe said, stretching to wake himself up, "I have several meetings today so I probably won't see you until this evening."

"Aw, okay," I nodded.

Joe got up and took a shower before grabbing some clothes out of the bag he took to Graham's house and getting dressed.

"Alright. I'll see you this evening, but I'll call you when I finish my meetings," Joe said quietly as he leaned down to give me a kiss.

"Okay, love you."

"Take care, yeah?"

"Mhm," I nodded.

"Bye-bye Noah," Joe grinned, kissing my stomach.

It makes my heart swell with happiness to see Joe so excited for Noah. It's still crazy to think that Joe and I are having a child together.
