"Lizzie! Darling!" I yell to her from her room while rummaging around looking for my phone. "Baby!" I call out to her again, after a few seconds I hear her footsteps coming down the hall.

"Yes my love? Is everything ok?" Lizzie walks over to me hugging me from behind. I turn my head to her seeing her smiling up at me.

"Have you seen my phone? I can't find it" I whine patting my spot in bed to see if it's under the covers.

"I have it." She states so nonchalant. I stop patting the bed and turn around to face her with a confused look. "What?"

"Why do you have my phone? What are you up to?" I squint my eyes suspiciously at her.

"I'm not up to anything!" She let's go of me taking a step back. A smirk forms across her face as she bites her bottom lip.

"I don't believe you" I cross my arms at my chest watching her closely. "Why didn't you tell me you took my phone?"

She mimics me, crossing her arms on her chest now. "I found some interesting conversations with you and a girl."

"What!? What girl? Let me see what you're talking about" I hold my hand out stepping towards her. She shakes her head pushing my hand away.

"I can't believe what you two were saying to each other!" She exclaims glaring at me as I just look at her confused.

"Babe! What are you talking about? The only girls I text are you, my mum and Scarlett!" I put my hands on my head, speaking very loudly now. "I have no idea what you're on about Lizzie. I'm extremely confused right now." I sigh running my hands through my hair now. "Lizzie you know I'd never cheat on you! So I don't know what you saw but there's got to be a reasonable explanation!"

"Ok ok calm down!" She matches the volume of my voice before beginning to laugh.

"What? What's do funny?" I furrow my brows at her while she walks over to me and wraps her arms around my waist.

"I was just kidding! You know like you say I was... yea I was taking the piss" She giggles a bit bringing me closer to her as I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Baby that wasn't funny! You know I'm stressing out already." I whine wrapping my arms around her, my lips forming into a frown.

"I'm sorry babe. I know you're stressed, I thought maybe a little messing with you would make it better." She places her hands on my cheeks and chuckles. "Not my best idea" Then she takes her finger and moves the little bit of hair that fell into my eyes.

"So there's no random girl I don't know about on my phone?" I ask, just to make sure.

"Technically I don't know because I didn't check. Is there?" She raises an eyebrow with a smug smile forming across her lips.

"No no there's not! You can even look. You're the only woman for me" I pull her closer, placing my lips softly onto hers. She giggles against my lips wrapping her arms my neck now.

"I trust you my love. You're the only guy for me." She kisses me passionately before pushing back softly.

"So why did you actually take my phone?" I query, still confused on why she took it in the first place.

"I didn't want you scrolling through the comments or anything since the interview is out now. Just in case it was bad, then you'd freak out and shut down..." Her sentence trails off looking down at the floor.

"Thank you for looking out for me darling" I grab her chin softly bringing her face back up to mine. "And you know me too well cause that's exactly what I was going to do was look." I chuckle and kiss her softly. "How about this. You look around and see what people are saying then you decide if I should look or not. If you're scared about how I'll react, I won't look so it doesn't cause you any stress"

"Even when you're the one stressed out, you're still looking out for me." She smiles running her hand through my hair softly. "I love you."

"I love you too" I kiss her softly then squat down placing my hands on her stomach smiling. "And I love you too baby, I can't wait to meet you." Lizzie places her hands on my shoulders prompting me to look up at her. She smiles then leans down pressing her lips against mine.

"Come on let's go downstairs. That's where your phone is" She scrunches her nose as I stand up straight again. I nod with a small chuckle following after. She grabs onto my hand, interlocking our fingers and leading me downstairs.

"Are you hungry? I'll make us some lunch while you look at comments." I offer stopping in my tracks causing her to stop. She turns to me thinking for a few moments then smiles and nods making me chuckle. "Alright then you go look at comments, I'll make us some sandwiches ok?" In response she gives me a kiss then hurries off into the living room. I laugh walking into the kitchen and begin making us some sandwiches. I hear Lizzie whistling from the other room and after a minute or so little Holly comes bounding into the kitchen. Holly pops a squat right next to me and looks up wanting some of the turkey I'm putting on our sandwiches. "You want some Holly? Ok but don't tell mom" I rip a piece of turkey in half then into two quarters dropping them down to her. She immediately starts wagging her tail while eating the two pieces I dropped for her. 

"My love, is Holly in there with you?" I hear Lizzie from the living room prompting Holly to look around confused. 

"Yes darling. The sandwiches are about done." I try diverting the conversation while finishing up the sandwiches. I put them both on separate paper towels and take them into the living room. "Here you go. I was wondering, when are we able to figure out the gender of the baby?" I query setting her sandwich on her lap but she doesn't seem to pay me any mind. "Darling?" I raise a confused brow at her then wave my hand in front of my phone.

"Huh?" She looks up at me surprised that I'm now sitting next to her. "Sorry babe were you talking to me? I didn't even notice you come over here honestly." She laughs awkwardly clicking my phone off and setting it down on her thigh. 

"It's ok darling. Is everything ok? How are the comments?" I query taking a bite of my sandwich watching as she does the same. 

"Well most of them are positive! You can look if you'd like. It's mostly people understanding and believing your side. Positive things like that." She smiles really emphasizing on the positive parts. 

"What else?" I ask in a soft tone. She nervously bites her bottom lip, I lean over kissing her cheek and smile. "Don't worry love I know there's bound to be negative comments too." 

She takes a deep breath and nods quietly. "There are negatives. Just some people still taking your exs side and saying that its fake." Her facial expression immediately turns concerned after she tells me this. 

I scoot closer, wrapping my arm around her and kissing her head. "It's ok, I won't spiral I promise. Here let me see my phone." I smile grabbing m phone from her thigh and begin scrolling through the comments on the YouTube video. "I agree with these comments. I think we should do something about her. I would hate for another guy to have to go through what I did because of her." 

"I think this did a lot, you coming forward. But yea maybe we could do more." Lizzie sighs leaning her head on my shoulder. I just hum thinking while she takes a few bites of her sandwich. Then she looks up at me and smiles, "Thats not what you asked me earlier was it? What did you ask when you came in here a few minutes ago?"

"Hm? Oh right! I asked when we can find out the gender of our baby" I chuckle lightly looking down at her. 

"Oh, actually I have an appointment next week for us to go. We should be able to find out then." Her face lights up as she looks back up at me scrunching her nose again.

"I can't wait to find out. No matter what, I'll love this little one with all my heart." I place my hand softly on her stomach smiling. 

"I love you"

"I love you too darling." I lean down kissing her softly before we go back to eating our sandwiches.
