My pregnancy hormones are getting serious now, the other day I dropped my phone on the floor and burst into tears because I thought that I had hurt it. Trent heard me crying and he came into the living room worriedly but only to burst out laughing when he realises why I was crying.
I am eighteen weeks along now and Trent has been given the green light to begin light training so he can get back into football without injuring himself again. His foot is looking a lot better and he doesn't need his crutches anymore, I am glad about that though because that means that I no longer trip over them when he's thrown them on the floor or against the kitchen sides.
"Babe?" Trent's voice echoes throughout the house and I put my half eaten carrot down on my plate on the coffee table. Okay, yeah eating a raw carrot may seem a bit of weird thing to eat but as well as my mood swings, my food cravings have been far worse this week and I think Trent is getting annoyed with them. Last week I really fancied chocolate ice-cream and we had just got home from food shopping, he was a bit pissed off at first so I insisted on going but he sweetly went out and got me a massive tub of it as he didn't want me to go.
"What?" I call back and head out of the living room into the hallway. I hear footsteps slowly thumping down the stairs and he comes into the hallway.
"Jordan is coming over in a few hours."
"Oh okay, that's fine." I shrug my shoulders and go back into the living room to finish my carrot.
Trent follow and leans against the door to the room. I take a bite of my carrot and focus on the telly that has the Real Housewives of Atlanta playing on it, I have actually got into some reality tv shows lately and it's kind of scaring me as I remember my own mum used to watch them a lot when I were little. Back then they used to bore me but now I see why she used to watch them. "There's another thing." Trent speaks up and I look over at him as I take another bite of my carrot.
"What's that?" I frown at him and for some reason he looks kind of hesitant, my mood drops a step.
"Well, he is coming over to take us to dinner with him, Rebecca and the girls."
"Okay, why are you looking so worried, babes?"
"We are going to dinner with him, Rebecca, the girls, and...your parents."
My shoulders drop at the mention of my parents and I no longer feel hungry. I put the remaining bit of my carrot back onto the plate. "Why?" I fold my arms and Trent comes and sits down next to me.
"Jordan didn't say but I am assuming that they want to see you, Nat, when is the last time you saw them?"
"The last time was the night you guys won the champions league, it just so happened it was the same day that we found out that he was cancer free..." I direct my gaze to my hand and one of them is taken within one of Trent's.
"I remember, Jordan was so happy and it was the first time I had seen him cry."
"That was the best news that I had ever heard, despite me and mum having our differences I love my dad so much and we all thought that we were gonna lose him and hearing that he was cancer free was just amazing. That was the one night that my mum tolerated me."
Trent takes my hand within his and wraps his spare arm around my shoulder supportively. "If you don't want to go tonight, we could tell Jordan that you aren't feeling very well or something?"
I shake my head immediately knowing that, that would be a bad idea. "No Jord would just drag us out of the house knowing that I am not really ill, besides I think that it will be nice to see dad, after all he has always been supportive of my choices."
"Yeah, it's a shame that your mum can't see what a wonderful woman you've become." He presses his lips against mine.
"I love you, babes." I kiss his lips again.
"I love you more." Trent pats my thigh with a massive grin on his face before standing up and walking out of the room.
My mouth drops and I push myself up from the sofa. "Excuse me, Arnold, you didn't just say what I think you said," My feet pace after to him into the kitchen and he still holds the grin on his face. "Because there is no way in hell that is true, we love each other equally."
He folds his arms across his chest and leans against the fridge. "Okay, sure, do you want a hot chocolate? You love my hot chocolates and you haven't had one in a while."
"I'm good, milk is kind of making me feel sick at the minute, thank you for the offer though, babes. I'm gonna go and have a shower, I might as well make an effort to make myself look presentable, after all I have to prove to my mother that I am the one who made the right decision." I peck his lips and pat his chest before strutting off to the bathroom.
I pick my outfit out and I go with a simple, tight red dress that hugs my bump perfectly. It grips my mid-thigh and Trent comes into our room with a towel wrapped around his waist. He comes over to me and wraps his arms around me from behind. "Natalie Henderson, you look absolutely stunning tonight, as always." His lips smother my neck and I let out a sigh.
"Shame I can't say the same, Trent Alexander-Arnold, as you are half naked." I pull away from him and apply thick red lipstick to my lips.
"Stop talking crap, you know that you love me this way, babes." Trent flexes his muscles and we burst out laughing, I push his shoulder playfully.
"Go and get ready, Jordan will be here in like twenty minutes." I hurry him along and he begins getting changed.
The doorbell goes and I tell Trent that I will answer it. I head downstairs and swing the front door open to reveal Jordan, his baby boy, Rebecca, and their two little girls, Elexa and Alba. "Auntie Nat!" Elexa screams and wraps her arms around me.
"Hey, little one. Do you wanna come in or are we going straight away?"
"Well, we would like to go straight away, but we weren't sure if Trent was ready I know how his lazy arse could be." Jordan jokes.
"Yeah I'll get him. Are we taking a car or are we jumping in with you?"
"Jumping in with us, I drove the seven seater." Rebecca pipes up and I nod.
"Okay, bare with me whilst I go and get my lump of a fiancé."
