Vanessa
I woke up from a scream. I opened my eyes in a flash and scanned the side of the bed next to me. But Mads wasn't next to me anymore. I jumped out of bed and turned on the parking lights on my bedside table. Within seconds the room was flooded with light and I saw Madelaine sitting on the floor in the far corner of the room and trembling. She had her legs up and her arms protectively over hers
head folded. I quickly stepped to her side and crouched next to her, "Baby?" I whispered. I knew Mads was awake because I could see her brown eyes. I gently placed my palms on her arms and gently squeezed them around mine. To be able to look my girlfriend in the eye. "Baby what's up?" I asked her cautiously. I saw tears well up in her brown eyes. "I...I didn't have a good dream," she whispered, her voice shaking. "What did you dream?" I asked, trying to get through the facade. My girl looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I dreamed paparazzi broke in here and hurt you and the baby to force me to give them certain pictures." Mads said. I kissed her hairline. Madelaine was very traumatized by the action of the paparazzi. That was understandable and I decided to protect her even more than I already had. I would stay with Madeline!
"It was just a dream." I tried to calm my girlfriend down. Mads just stared at me, 'But what if it really happens?' I gently pulled her into a hug. "Then we protect each other."

Madelaine
I didn't know how long I lay awake next to Vanessa and jumped at every little noise.
So my bad arbor was pre-programmed for the next morning. I stood grumpily at the stove and cooked fried eggs for me and my girlfriend while she got ready for her gynecologist Thermin in the bathroom. My stimming was, to put it nicely, crappy.
She cheered up a bit when Vanessa walked into the kitchen and kissed me on the cheek. "Are you feeling a little better, Princess?" she asked, wrapping her arms around my waist. "Not really, but it cheers me up that we're seeing your child for the first time today." I answered honestly. Vanessa buried her face in my hair and I felt her inhale my scent. "Our child." It came from her. Shocked, I turned in her arms so that I could look at her, "What did you say?" Vanessa smiled and put a hand on my cheek, "Would you like to be the second mother of the baby Mads?" I knew exactly that my eyes had started to shine. "YES!" I called and Vanessa smiled happily at me.
Nessa and I had today off shooting and would only go to the closing party tonight. So we had enough time to go to Nessa's ultrasound appointment in peace. In the waiting room I could clearly see how nervous my girlfriend was so I didn't give a fuck about the lurking paparazzi (stupid idea, but for me Vanessa came first). I pushed my sunglasses into my red hair and carefully lifted Vanessa's face. I carefully pushed her hat up a bit and pulled her towards me. "Hey, Vanessa, everything will be fine." I whispered. Mine and Nessa's lips were only millimeters apart. "Mads, what are you up to? There are paparazzi here too!"
I smiled at my girlfriend, "I know. I won't kiss you until later, but I want you to know that everything is fine and that I'm with you. You are not alone Vanessa. Not if I have the ability to prevent that."

Vanessa
Madelaine Petsch could just see into me. She knew I felt alone and had partially overcome her fear of the paparazzi.
When a friendly orderly brought us into the treatment room, Mads had her sunglasses back on her face and was snuggling up against my back. I was aware my redhead was panicking but tried to stay calm.
Her tense posture only changed when the orderly closed the door behind him. "Okay out with the language, what's going on? Did that scenario just trigger you?" I asked my girlfriend. Mads shrugged, ''I think so. I really thought I could overcome my fear, but error code.'' "That's not true babe. You dared to establish physical contact and made yourself known. You have a trauma from back then and that's understandable!" Lovingly I took my love's hand and kissed her knuckles. "You are incredibly strong Mads, don't forget that."
When the doctor entered the room, Mads and I sat side by side in silence. Doctor Zun asked me to lie on the treatment table and bare my stomach so we could do the ultrasound.

After the appointment, I found myself in Madelaine's car. "What's going on?" my girlfriend asked me. Concerned, I say to her, "I'm worried babe." Madelaine put her hand on mine and stroked it lovingly, "You heard Doctor Zun , the baby...our baby, is it fine." I looked down at my knees. "No babe. I'm not worried about the baby, I'm worried about you. How many times did you not sleep through the nights before we were together, how many times did you lock the front door 3 times, how many times were you afraid to leave the house alone?" Mads tensed up and stared on her steering wheel.
"Madelaine? I'll let you help me, so let me help you too." I said when there was no sound from my girlfriend after 5 minutes. Finally Mads looked into my eyes, "Too often." I nodded understandingly and squeezed hers Hand. "We can do that! Together , Ok Mads ?"
,,OK."

Madelaine
The day progressed with another session with Nessa's Doctor Smith, a plan I made a romantic walk in the park and now the cast's Season Graduation Ceremony.
I was tying my long red hair up when Nessa burst into the bathroom . "What's up Nessa?" I asked her. "Trav just called, he said his buddy was talking about Madnessa." I cocked my head in confusion, "Yeah, our family, friends, well, except for Cami and Trav, and the public still thinks we're just friends." Vanessa stared at me, "Do you still think that?" I put a hand on her shoulder and shook my head, "No, but I hope so. I don't want our chance to come out voluntarily to be taken away from us."

Less than twenty minutes later we were in the car and driving to the closing party. Nessa announced her pregnancy a week ago and everyone else in the cast was so happy for her.
Vanessa stopped the car at Cet where Cami was waiting for us and gave us a pitying look. Confused, I opened the window but Cami didn't say a word. She just held out her cell phone to me, where her and Lilli's chat was open. Lilli had sent her a screenshot from Instagram, which showed ME and VANESSA in the previous situation at the women's doctor. The situation where I almost kissed her. Beside me, Vanessa swallowed and I dug my fingernails into the seat cover. "Everybody knows... Lilli wasn't the only one who sent me this screenshot. Everyone knows..." My heart did a somersault and Vabessa restarted the engine. "Camila Mendes. Get in. NOW!" Cami obeyed and Vanessa sped out of the parking lot. She only stopped again at a forest. ,,How long is the picture online, Cami? " asked my girlfriend. Cami checked her Instagram "6 hours. "Fuck! "DAMN PAPARAZZI!" I curse.
