It's been a month... a whole fucking month.

Lennon left three weeks ago and I miss her. We text all day and we're often on the phone chatting but it's not the same as having her beside me. We hung out loads after we all had sex, Niall and Harry starting getting a little jealous they were so left out but I wanted to make the most of having a female best friend.

I've literally never in my life had a best friend. Niall became my first one when I was seventeen but Lennon became mine and she genuinely cares for me and I love finally getting to experience that.

"My cherry!" Poppy giggles, rushing into the living room with a smoothie in her hand. It's one in a pouch with a straw you have to push in, she's clearly found where I hide them in the fridge. "Help me please!"

She holds the green carton out to me with big green eyes, needing me to put the straw in so she doesn't get it everywhere.

We're hanging out together at Niall and I's, it's Monday so Ni and Harry are at work but school is shut so I get to hang out with my tiny best friend all day. She rang me on Harry's phone last night to tell me all the fun stuff she wanted to do with me today which includes going to get ice cream, taking her Daddy and Uncle Niall lunch and playing with her Moosey boy.

I take the paper straw from the thin plastic wrapper, pushing it into the aluminium gap so it pierces the film and enters the pink smoothie. She takes it back from me, "thank you, friend!"

"You're so welcome, cutie!" She pulls herself up onto the sofa beside me, grasping that blanket that's hung over the back and tugging it over her lap. She gets herself all cosied up, resting her head against my bicep before calling for her best puppy friend.

"Moosey... come snuggle with me!"

His little head peeks up over the coffee table, he'd been asleep on the other side but as soon as he heard Poppy's soft voice he was alert. She pats her legs over the blanket, encouraging him over and he stands, stretching out before leaping up beside her and resting his head on her legs.

She pats him softly with her spare hand, I smile watching her be so gentle with him while he dozes back into a slumber. The sight melts me, I can't wait to see my Moose interacting with Niall and I's future baby and then adding Poppy to the mix... it melts my heart into a puddle.

Talking of babies, I threw up yesterday. I felt so fucking neasous and dizzy that I couldn't leave the bed, Harry came round all concerned about me when he heard and Niall refused to leave my side.

The conversation of having kids only gets stronger every day with Niall, he's started having dreams of me being pregnant a few days ago and now mixed with me missing my period and starting to throw up I think he's convinced I'm pregnant.

I think I might be as well.

I bought some tests online last night. They got delivered this morning, the box sits by the front door waiting for me to open it. I'm nervous but I also wanted to do it when Niall wasn't here so I could surprise him if I am actually pregnant.
