Saturday

Today was the day of the premiere. Since releasing the statement their agents had been dealing with numerous calls about what was happening, however Jen and Justin refused to comment any further.

Jen was disappointed to not be going to the premiere although the way she was feeling today, she knew she had made the right decision.

Justin rolled over in bed and found Jen leaning against the headboard.

"Morning" he grumbled in his morning voice.

"Morning honey" Jen turned to him, stroking his face.

"How you feeling?"

She sighed. She'd been asked that so many times recently she didn't even know herself anymore.

Justin sat up and pulled her to his side, kissing her sweetly.

"I had the worst cramps all night. I couldn't get comfortable"

"I wish I could help you" he stroked her arm lovingly and she smiled.

"I feel so guilty complaining.. a lot of women have it so much worse than me.. we could have it worse.. but I feel like shit Justin. I'm in so much pain" she spoke faintly.

"You're allowed to complain Jen.. just because you're not in a worse situation doesn't mean you're not going through something. Your body is changing dramatically.. you've got a baby growing whilst dealing with a major medical set back. It's okay to not be okay" he reassured her, holding her close and kissing her head. He loved that she always thought of others more than herself but sometimes she had to learn to deal with her own problems too.

"You always make me feel better.. I know that god-forbid anything awful happened, having you by my side would mean everything would be okay" she was honest "I don't know what I'd do without you"

"You should know by now.. I've got you babe" they smiled cutely and kissed.

"We're so lucky they're doing well. I don't know what I would have done" her expression changed.

"Hey, don't think about that. Bubba is fine and so are you" he comforted her.

"..I know" she stroked his leg lovingly "I'm not gonna mope about anymore. I'm going to try and stay positive"

"You're not moping babe. You've been through enough in the past to be worried and scared especially carrying a baby.. I don't want you feeling like you have to pretend everything's okay. If you're having a bad day.. tell me. If you're scared, tell me. If you want to be left alone, tell me. I understand your fears and I'm here for you"

"I know you are.. you're wonderful" she smiled softly "I..I'm feeling a bit off today though" she spoke honestly.

Justin smiled sweetly, glad she'd listened and opened up too him "I know babe. Get some rest and I'll make us some pancakes"

He kissed her as he got up out of bed.

"Wait.." she reached for his hand "Will you stay with me a bit longer?"

He smiled and climbed back into bed, pulling her towards him. She rested her head on his chest and stroked him softly.

They lay peacefully for a while. Neither of them fell back to sleep but just enjoyed each others company.

"DAAADDDYYY!" a little voice came from down the hall.

"I wondered if I was dreaming when she hadn't woken us up before 9" Justin teased. He felt Jen laugh against his chest.

Jen lifted her head back onto her pillow and smiled, watching him leave.

She could hear Rosie talking about her baby crying in the night and laughed. She was such a character with her daddy's imagination.
