{ Tatum }

Today was a big day. We have our last doctor's appointment before the babies come. After, we are driving to Joshua Tree for Ashton's album release. Friends are coming but Ashton made sure they were all tested and guidelines were being followed.

Ashton was up and ready before me today. As I got dressed, he loaded the car since we were going straight to Joshua Tree after the appointment- the appointment Ashton is being allowed to come to.

I walked out of our room after grabbing my phone. I went to the garage and got in the passenger seat of the truck while Ashton finished loading it. I have been banned from lifting things so Ashton's doing all the work.

The last thing Ashton did before we could leave was put our hospital bags in the car, just in case the twins decided they wanted to be born,

"Okay" Ashton sighed jumping into the driver seat, "Everything is in the car. Do you have your purse?"

"Yes Ash" I laughed, "I'm pretty sure you put it in here. It's by my feet"

"Right right" he nodded and backed out, closing the garage and making sure the house alarm was on.

Ashton's hand was in mine the whole way to the doctor. We were singing at the top of our lungs as the radio blared. We only turned it down once we got in the parking garage.

I checked in once we got in the office and they took us back to a room. I got up on the table and lifted my shirt as the ultrasound started,

"They are looking amazing. And they are both head down which means they're ready" she beamed, "I'm actually going to check for dilation"

"So you're actually 1 cm dilated"

"Uh, we're supposed to be going away for the night. We're going to Joshua Tree. Is she okay to go?" Ashton's voice shook,

"Yes of course!" she nodded, then looked at me, "Are we still planning for a natural birth? Are we going to want an epidural?"

"I plan on naturally still. As for the epidural, I want to try and give birth without it"

"Awesome" she stood, "Well it won't be too much longer. Have a good day and enjoy your night away"

Ashton and I checked out and climbed back in the truck. Ashton had to help me since I'm eight, almost nine, months pregnant,

"How about we get some food on the way" Ashton took my hand as soon as we were on the road. I nodded, my mouth watering just at the thought of food.

We pulled up to this little house in the desert. It was cute.

We went inside and took our bags to the master bedroom. There were a few other rooms but some friends would be staying there.

I tried helping Ashton set up but he kept telling me no then would drag me to sit down. As soon as October hit, he wouldn't let me do anything.

"Cal said he's almost here" Ashton practically bounced over to me,

"Is Roy coming too?"

"Yep. Then Mike and Crystal should be here not too long after. Luke and Sierra can't come because Luke's sick"

"That sucks" I sighed, standing up.

We heard a car pull up so Ashton and I walked outside, seeing Calum and Roy get out of Calum's Range Rover,

"Look at you!" Calum grinned and hugged me, "You're ready to pop"

"I want them out" I laughed then hugged Roy,

"Ayyy congrats man!" Calum embraced Ashton.

We went and sat out on the deck as more of Ashton's friends showed up- some I knew and some I didn't. But when Michael and Crystal showed up, Crystal didn't acknowledge Ashton and instead came right to me,

"You look amazing" she gushed,

"Thanks Crys" I laughed, "We had our last appointment today"

"Oh my gosh! That's so exciting. Do we have names picked?"

"We do" Ashton popped up behind me,

"And I can't fucking wait to meet and hold them"

"Hey everyone!" Ashton beamed at his phone. He started his live stream and was chatting away, going through and explaining each song.

"Lastly, I wanna say a big thank you to some people. I want to thank Matt Pauling for helping me with tracks and helping me produce. I wanna thank my friends and all you fans. I hope this is something that will help you all and I hope you love it as much as I do. And finally, I wanna thank my beautiful wife, Tatum. I'm sure I've annoyed her quite a few times but she never complained. She's stuck by me and has continued giving me support. I love you"

I smiled as he grinned up at me,

"Alright, I'm gonna hop off here so you can listen. Thank you everyone. I'll hop on Twitter and chat in a few"

Ashton ended his live stream and walked over to me,

"I'm proud of you" I smiled up at him as my arms went behind his neck,

"Thanks baby" he leaned down and pecked my lips,

"Go have fun" I nudged him,

"And what are you doing?" he laughed,

"I'm going to bed. My back hurts and I'm tired"

"Okay" he smiled and kissed me again, a little harder this time, "Goodnight baby"

"Goodnight bub" I smiled, "I'm proud of you"
