Natalie's POV

"Fries." Alex whispers as she reacher over to grab from my plate.

"I asked you if you wanted me to order an extra plate of fries for you and you said no. Now you're eating from my plate." I say looking at Alex.

"They just taste better coming from your plate." Alex says and I sigh.

"I should've know."

"You really should have." Alex says.

"So bubs, no new music?" Taylor asks as she takes a sip of her wine.

"Probably not, not after the documentary and everything. It's been what two months, I know, but that alone was a lot. Plus Alex and I want to spend some time together before the baby comes. We also have to get stuff for the nursery. So there's no time right now. What about you?"

"Ooh are you two going on vacation? And as of right now, no. No new music. The whole thing with Joe was enough for me to handle while also still promoting Lover. It's still roaming the internet and tabloids so I'd rather just stay like this for now. Plus I get to enjoy time with you two and help out."

"We need all the help we can get." Alex says as she reacher for more of my fries.

"I have to get a crib and drawers and stuff, a rocking chair apparently? Alex wants one. Do you want to help me build it?"

"Heck yeah I do."

I nod and smile as we continue eating. As we're continuing talking and enjoying our time, there was a sudden flash. I turn around and see people with cameras.

"Crap." Taylor and I both say.

"Take your sweater off and give it to Alex." Taylor says as she grabs her purse.

I turn back around and start taking my sweater off before Alex grabs my hand.

"No it's fine really. It's okay. We don't have to leave." Alex says, I look at her then at Taylor.

"Are you sure? I can try and make them leave." Taylor says.

"Yeah babe, we can try and make them leave."

"I mean is it a lot? Yes. But I think I'll be okay. I'm trying to get used to it. Plus the Grammy's was chaos itself and I got through it."

"That's true but babe this is only the beginning."

"She's right. Also, out of the three of us, you shouldn't be the one who has to deal with this." Taylor says. "You guys are about to have a baby, Alex we don't want them following you."

"I understand the concern but I'm going to have to get used to it. You guys have had to. I'm married to Natalie, a celebrity, a singer, and her sister also happens to be a HUGE pop star, which is you Taylor. It's not like it's going to stop."

"This is what I was afraid of." I say looking at Taylor for some help.

"Them following me is fine, scary as hell but it's fine, but them following you is not. Especially since you're pregnant, and we certainly don't want them following you after you give birth." Taylor says and I nod in agreement.
