I surprisingly woke up before Ashton this morning, which is okay since he was on FaceTime with the boys until super late talking about how they would release their new album tonight. They had it all planned out. It would be on Instagram and they'd take turns. Ashton woke me up as soon as he got in bed to tell me about it.

I was so proud and excited to hear it. I've heard dozens of sneak peeks of songs but Ashton wanted me to hear it when it came out, so I'm waiting. Sierra and Crystal haven't heard it either.

I climbed out of bed and went into the bathroom to pee. All I do is pee anymore, but I'd rather that than be puking all the time. I still get sick, but it's died down some. It's sporadic throughout the day.

I finished up my business and washed my hands, jumping when Ashton came sprinting into the bathroom, the door hitting the wall,

"Are you okay?!" He asked wide-eyed,

"Yeah?" I spoke, eyeing him,

"I thought you were sick and I came to help you" he calmed down,

"I just had to pee" I laughed. He nodded,

"Okay" he sighed, stretching his arms above his head, "I'm going to take a quick shower" he kissed my head and started the water,

"Don't drown" I called as I walked out, grabbing my phone and plopping on the couch.

Ashton emerged about 10 minutes later with a big grin on his face, dressed in these red/ maroon jeans and a gray T-shirt. His black dyed hair was still dripping water as he made his way to me,

"I didn't say a proper good morning so," he kissed my lips, "Good morning," then he knelt down, pressing his lips to my stomach, "And good morning my two little humans. Be nice to Mommy today please"

I snorted as Ashton looked up at me,

"You're so cute it's disgusting" I smiled, leaning and pressing my lips to his,

"I know" he smirked, "Want breakfast? Well you don't really get a choice you have to because you're feeding three people"

I jokingly shook my head as he rounded the couch into the open kitchen,

"Hey, my mum is calling in a few to tell me what she thinks about the album since it's out there. Do you want to tell her about the babies?" Ashton called.

I shifted and looked over the back of the couch, seeing Ashton leaned on the center island,

"We can tell her. I just want to wait a little to tell our friends. I just want to wait until we're out of the 'danger zone'" I shrugged,

"That's perfectly fine" he grinned, turning around and resuming at the stove.

"The album is so good Ashton!" Anne beamed through the phone screen, "I'm so proud of you"

"Thanks Mum" Ashton smiled, "What's your favorite?"

"Oh they're all so good" Anne grinned, "but I think Best Years might be my favorite"

"That's a good one. One of my favorites. Has a lot of emotions" Ashton nodded, glancing at me with a smile,

"So Mum, Tatum and I have something to tell you actually" Ashton took a breath,

"Is everything okay?" Anne grew concerned,

"Things are great" Ashton assured her, then looked at me to say it,

"I'm pregnant" I smiled. Anne's mouth dropped and she jumped up from her spot with a squeal,

"I'm going to be a grandma!" She cheered, ecstatic,

"But there's something else" I spoke, making her stop and look back at us,

"We're having twins" Ashton finished,

"Oh my goodness! This is wonderful. I'm going to start looking at baby stuff right now" she beamed,

"Don't say anything to anyone else. We haven't told anyone but you" Ashton broke in,

"I won't sweetheart" Anne smiled softly, "Oh this is so great. I want updates"

"I will text you" I promised,

"I'm going to be a grandma" she spoke softly, almost like she couldn't believe it still, "Hopefully this Coronavirus will be over by the time they're born. When are you due?"

"November" I nodded,

"Oh that's so exciting!" Anne was just all smiles, "I'm so happy for you two"

"Thanks Mum" Ashton smiled softly, then going into another conversation as I moved away to let him catch up with his mom.

By the time 9:00 rolled around, Ashton was high on excitement. He was jumping around and getting his Instagram live ready to go while I sat on the opposite side of the island, honestly ready to go to bed. But, I was staying up.

Ashton started the stream and was all smiles and giggles while sipping on his coffee. He was so happy, responding to every comment he could,

"Okay let's start the album now" he giggled. He got up and started the record then left the from, coming around the counter. He pulled me up from my seat, hugging me,

"I'm so fucking happy" he smiled,

"You look happy. I'm proud of you guys" I pecked his lips.

When Ashton's section was done, he logged off and let Calum run it as we sat back on the couch and watched,

"We should get a dog" I hummed as I watched Duke attempt to hop on Calum's couch through the screen,

"I think we should maybe wait until these little ones are a little older" Ashton laughed and kissed my head,

"Yeah, that's a good idea" I sighed,

"I'm sorry baby" Ashton rubbed my arm, "I promise we will get one when they're older"

I smiled and nuzzled into his side as we continued watching the live stream.

"I really like this one" I smiled as Best Years finished,

"Me too. It's cute and relatable" Ashton nodded,

"It's a really good album. I proud of you" I spoke,

"Thanks baby. I hope it does good"

"I think it will" I nodded, "You guys are good and know how to convey what you want. But, if it flops, I still love you" I finished with a joke,

"I appreciate that" he laughed, "I love you too. A lot. I will always love you no matter what failures come our way"
