"hey ben." thea greeted one of her closest friends with a beaming smile on her face, the first genuine smile in a while before her attention was diverted to bens large dog running over to her, her immediately cooing over him. "hi Oscar, hi baby, did you miss me?"

"I was reading something the other day and it said that dogs can sense when somebody's pregnant." ben came out with the random fact, mason laughing at the obsession that oscar had developed for thea so quickly into the night.

"is that why you're rubbing your nose on my belly? can you hear the baby?" thea smiled happily at the large dog that was sat in front of her, resting the side of his nose along the curve of her bump as thea played with his fur.

"this is why you're such a good mum, there's just something about you that radiates pure maternal energy." mason said, making thea remove her gaze from oscar and onto mason, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks.

"that is probably the best compliment I've ever recieved and you're gonna make me tear up in a minute." thea giggled, fanning her eyes making ben chuckle.

"I don't want you crying when tonight is all about us having fun. so are you gonna give me a hug or what?" ben opened his arms for thea to hug, her wrapping her arms around his neck and his around her waist as he squeezed her so tight that she thought she'd legitimately explode.

"try not squashing my bump please." the blonde woman chuckled, her playful comment making ben loosen his grip on her, not wanting to let her go after the past few days she'd had. "please tell me you've already ordered the food, im absolutely starving."

"I knew you'd say that and I ordered it about ten minutes before you got here and don't worry, I ordered your favourites."

"does my order include chick-"

"yes, chicken balls, I've bought you ten of them." ben interrupted her, following with a chuckle as the chelsea players watched as she clapped her hands excitedly.

"Benjamin chilwell, you know the way to my pregnant heart." thea joked, gently kissing the top of oscar's head before walking behind the two men into the living room, the large white dog following beside her closely.

"hear that mason? I have her heart."

"oh I'm wounded, thea, can't believe you're cheating on me." mason joked without thinking about whet he had said, his eyes widening as the realisation hit him. "im so sorry, I didn't mean that at all."

"mase, its okay, I know you're only joking." thea giggled, resting her hand on his bicep, gently squeezing it to show that she wasn't annoyed or upset. "you don't have to stop making jokes around me."
