"Come on Noah!" I joked, rubbing my stomach.

My due date is today and there is no sign of him coming. However, the doctor did mention that he must've slowed down growing, because now he seems to be about a normal sized baby, which is good I guess.

"Well, we have an appointment in a week if he doesn't come before then. They said they would induce you," Joe smiled.

"I know. I'm tired of my back constantly hurting," I groaned.

"I'm sorry baby."

Joe's phone rang and he quickly answered it.

"Hi Mum!" Joe smiled, "No, today's the due date, but nothing's happened. But we have an appointment in a week... Yeah, to induce her if Noah doesn't arrive before then."

Joe and his mum spoke for a while longer before hanging up.

"She sends her love, as always," Joe smiled.

"Aw, I love your mum, she's so sweet."

Joe laid back on the bed at the same time as me.

"I'm craving Chinese food," I smiled to Joe.

"Okay, I'll go get some more, your usual again?" Joe laughed lightly.

"Yes please," I yawned.

"Okay, I'll be right back," Joe nodded, slipping on a jumper and his shoes.

"Thank you."

"No problem darling."

I have been craving Chinese food non-stop. To the point where Joe goes to the restaurant and they've remembered the order now.

I fell so lazy and a small part of me keeps telling myself that I need to atleast try and get up and do something. However, laying in bed is just so satisfying. I have been getting up every once in a while and walking around the flat so I don't get used to laying down, but just standing up seems to take so much energy and hurts my back more than anything.

There was a few knocks on the door so I slowly made my way out of bed and to the door.

"Minxie! I just called Joe and he said he's heading back now. How are you feeling?"

"Hi Casp. I'm feeling good, my back just hurts quite a bit," I laughed lightly.

"I just came to keep you and Joe company, if that's alright?" Caspar asked.

"Of course!" I smiled.

I lead Caspar back through to my room so I could sit back down.

"How's Noah?"

"Just taking his own sweet time," I laughed.

"Aw, I'm sorry Minxie. When's your due date? Any day now, right?"

"It's actually today, but it doesn't look like anything is happening anytime soon," I shrugged.

"Today?! Aren't you supposed to go to the hospital or something?"

"Not unless anything happens," I laughed.

"Don't they make you give birth?"

"They'll induce me into labour in a week if I haven't given birth by then."

"Are you scared?" Caspar asked as the door unlocked and Joe came inside.

"Yeah, a bit," I nodded.

"Hm?" Joe asked.

"I asked Minxie if she's scared for labour."

"Oh, yeah. She'll be fine," Joe smiled confidently as he handed me the styrofoam box.

"Mm, thanks baby," I smiled happily.

"How've you been, Casp?" Joe asked.

"Good. I'm actually be talking to this girl," Caspar nodded meekly.

"What? Really?! Who?!" I said excitedly.

"Her name's Ellie," Caspar blushed.

"Aw, how cute," I gushed.

"Is she the blonde girl you brought home that one time?" Joe smirked, raising his eyebrows.

"Uhm, yeah," Caspar coughed embarrassedly.

"Joe, stop," I smiled, defending Caspar and his embarrassment.

Joe let out a small laugh and sat next to me on the bed.

"Anyway," Caspar laughed awkwardly, "Within a week you are both going to be parents!"

"I'm already always tired," Joe laughed.

"You just like to sleep a lot," I smiled.

"True. Not as much as Caspar though!" Joe laughed.

"Whatever," Caspar laughed along.

They continued joking and talking while I listened and closed my eyes every once in a while.

"Noah," I groaned as he kept kicking my stomach.

He's been more active recently and his kicks and movements have become more uncomfortable and sometimes even a bit painful.

"Is he kicking again?" Joe asked.

I nodded my head and rested my hands on my stomach.

"No kicking your mum, mister!" Joe said to my stomach, trying not to laugh.

"You look like you're about to pop," Caspar smiled.

"Thanks," I laughed sarcastically, "I feel like I'm going to too."

Caspar told us more about Ellie and seemed quite excited about seeing her.

"I think we're going out tonight again," Caspar grinned excitedly.

"Aw! Have fun!" I smiled.

"We'll be here, just to let you know," Joe laughed.

"F.uck off," Caspar joked.

Caspar soon had to leave to go meet up with Ellie. Joe and I put on a movie on the laptop, which I soon fell asleep to.

"Good morning Minxie," Joe smiled as I woke up.

"Mm, good morning," I stretched.

"How do you feel?"

"Good," I nodded.

"6 more days!" Joe smiled.

"Don't remind me," I laughed.

"Mm, I love you," Joe smiled, giving me a kiss.

"I want to try and go out today, I'm sick of staying at home," I said.

"Okay, if you want to," Joe shrugged.

"I'm going to take a bath first and then get dressed."

Joe nodded and went to start the bath for me.

"Thank you," I smiled, giving him another kiss.

I got into the bath and cleaned myself before getting out and getting dressed. My maternity pants were feeling a bit tighter than usual, but I decided to wear them anyway. I put on a jumper and then did a little bit of make-up.

"Ready?" Joe asked as I picked up my bag.

"Yeah, I might be a bit slow. My back is starting to hurt a bit already," I laughed lightly.

"We're not in any rush or anything, don't worry," Joe assured me as we went down to the car.

I got in the car and Joe made sure I had buckled up before driving off.

"I know how to buckle myself up!" I laughed.

"I know! I just want to make sure you're okay," Joe smiled, focusing on the road.

We arrived at the Tesco's parking lot and got out to get some groceries.

"I feel like an old person," I laughed quietly to Joe.

I had my hand on my back to ease the aching a bit.

"Quite the opposite!" Joe laughed.

Joe pulled me closer to him and gave my bum a pinch before we continued shopping.

"Should we get some formula?" Joe asked.

"Didn't we already buy some, just in case?"

"No, we didn't end up buying any."

"Okay, yeah. I'm nervous about breastfeeding," I confessed.

"Don't be. Don't worry as much, you'll be fine, I promise."

"Okay," I nodded meekly.

Joe put a box of formula in the small basket as continued shopping.

"Joe Sugg!" A group of girls grinned as we went onto the next aisle.

"Aw, hello," Joe smiled.

"Minxie, you're so gorgeous!" One of the girls smiled.

"She is, isn't she?" Joe laughed lightly.

"Thank you," I smiled as Joe gave them all hugs.

"When is Noah due?" They asked.

"Very soon," Joe smiled happily.

"Are you going to vlog it? Not like her giving birth, but before and after?" A fan asked excitedly.

"Hm, I don't know. Maybe?" Joe shrugged, "We'll have to talk about it."

"Can we take a picture?"

"Of course!"

Joe took some pictures with the girls.

"We're excited for Noah to arrive!" They grinned.

"We are too! But we should get our shopping done. It was nice to meet all of you," Joe grinned.

"Good luck Minxie!" They smiled.

"Thank you."

We finished doing whatever shopping we needed before putting it in the car.

"Do you want to go somewhere else or go home?" Joe asked.

"Can we go and get some make-up? If I'm going to be induced, I have time to prepare and I'll make sure I atleast look alright," I giggled.

"Sure that's fine. And baby, you always look perfect. But, if it makes you happier, no problem."

"Oh shush," I blushed.

We went to the nearest make-up shop and I bought enough make-up to do a light and natural look, but all waterproof and sweatproof products.

"Got everything?" Joe asked.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, my back is just hurting," I said truthfully.

"Okay baby, do you want to go back to your flat or mine?"

"I don't care," I shrugged.

"Come on, let's go to my place so I can clean up and get changed."

"Okay," I nodded.

Joe drove us back to his flat and I went to lay on his bed because my back felt so painful, nothing new, it just happens when I walk around for a long time.

Joe got in the shower and then got dressed while I drifted in and out of sleep.
