As the following weeks were to come, Olivia dropped the effort of taking care of herself. 

"Baby, could you grab the cup of water on the table please?" 

"Yeah sure." Josh handed her the glass of water. She was feeling particularly ill this morning. Morning sickness really got to her. What can you expect though?

"Thanks."

"No problem, sweetheart. How you feeling this morning?" He asked, walking to sit down on the couch.

"Not that good. I'm just super nauseous, uneasy, and tired this morning. I hope Wren stays asleep for as long as possible." He kissed her head.

"Me too. I think you need a break. How about I have my mom take her to the play museum today and we can spend the whole day together at home watching movies. How does that sound?"

"Amazing. Thank you."

Wren eventually woke up and they had breakfast together. Well, almost all of them. Olivia didn't feel good so she didn't eat. Wren soon afterwards got ready for the day and laid with her mom on the couch until her grandma was going to come get her.

"And this one... can fly!" She said joyfully as she showed Olivia her my little pony toys.

"Really? That's so cool!" The doorbell rang soon after, Josh's mom came in and over to the couch. 

"Is that my granddaughter and my daughter-in-law?"

"Grandma!"

Josh's mom (Laura) walked over to the couch and gave them both a hug. She handed Olivia a small gift, as she explained it was a prebaby shower gift. It was three little hats, all matching.

"Thank you! You didn't have to."

"Oh but honey I wanted to. How are you doing?"

"Im... surviving. We're just going to hang in there i guess."

"Well honey, your doing a fabulous job." Olivia smiled and Josh walked in the room with Wren's pink backpack with elephants on it with stuff for the day. Boy his mom missed him.

"There's my son! Come here Joshy!" Josh walked over and gave his mom a hug. Olivia smiled at the pair. She loved their mother-son bond they had.

"Hi mom. Thanks for taking Wren today."

"No problem! I would love to get some extra moments with her anyways." Soon enough, they were on their way and Josh was back on the couch with his wife.

"Finally. Silence." She mumbled throwing her head back as she sighed. "Okay so I know they just left..."

"Babe if it's what I'm thinking you can't do that while pregnant." Olivia starred at him, blinking every once in a while.

"Um... no. I was going to say let's go to the store to get snacks for our movie marathon."

-at the store-

"Okay so where first...." Thoes were the only words she could get out before people started asking for her autograph.

"OLIVIA! CAN YOU SIGN MY ALBUM?" "OLIVIA CAN YOU TAKE A PIC WITH ME?" "OLIVIA! OLIVIA!" "OH MY GOSH IS SHE PREGNANT?"

right. she haden't told the media. She's screwed now. They just waved and smiled as they walked into the candy section. Securaty finally saw what was going on and blocked off the area they were in to keep people out. On the way out, they sort of ran.

"So much for shopping right?"

"Yeah I guess so. What has humanity become?"

"A raging mob of lunatics." She let out a laugh as he started the car to head home. When they got there, they watched three movies: Mean girls, Hunger Games, and to all the boys I loved before. That's when Laura called and asked if wren could stay the night. They of course said yes, and continued watching movies.

"We really need to tell them, don't we." He paused the movie.

"What do you mean? Who?"

"The public. They kind of already ratted me out today... and aside from that, I have the stupid gala coming up anyways. What am I supposed to do with that?"

"You could... wait till the last second?"

"Yeah but getting everything fitted and set would be double the hassle. Plus with planning..."

"Hey look at me." She did as told. He always knew how to calm her down from anxiety. Especally now. "Let's just wait until it's a bit closer to everything and then we will figure it out. But I think right now is about focusing on yourself and not letting other people get in your way. It's not their life, it's yours. Sometimes I think you forget that."

"And that you are probably right."

"I rest my case." She just hummed along and rested her head back against his chest, making sure to continue to study his features and not pay attention to the movie, even if it was her favorite Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn.

"you wanna know what's kinda insane?"

"You." She chuckled but continued speaking in a hushed voice.

"The fact that we met on a Disney show, flirted for a little while, covid happened, we broke up, fought and released sad face music, met again, talked again, I started dating that jerk, Louis, then you saved me from it all and we finally got to be happy. All because of Disney."

"All becuase of Disney, love. Actually, I remember you being so nervous to audition. You were going to leave. Where would we all be right now?"

"On a couch in a suburban home." He laughed.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that... it's just that we would be normal.... never met... no kids... no house on the lake..... no us."

"Yeah. Never really thought of it that way." She gave him a small smile and he returned it. 

"Anyways! I have a game for us! It's called the 'name game'! made by the one and only joshua bassett!" Olivia let out a laugh.

"Josh we don't even know the genders! Remember last time? We were so convinced it was a boy from all the old wife's tails yet when we had her it was a girl and she was a nameless blob for 2 days!"

"Okay okay! But hear me out.... pleaseeeee?"

"Fine. I guess, jerk."

"I know you love me."

"Yeah and your hella lucky for that." They spent a good chunk of time coming up with names for BOTH genders and even some gender-neutral ones. 

"Wanna read the girl names?"

"Sure" SHe replied, sitting up straight to read them out. "Lily, Scarlett, Blake, Taylor, Autumn, Rose, Brook, Tate, Summer and Grace."

"Nice! Okay now I read the boys." He cleared his throught. "Lincon, Jackson, Liam, Levi, Ethan, Leo, Carter, Eli, and Bryce."

"It's crazy to think about this."

"Yeah man. I personally vote tate for a girl if there's one because Tate, Tator tot you know?" She laughed.

"Oh josh what the hell am I going to do with you?"

"Well after this..."

"Stop. No. Your mind is horrid." She said laughing uncontrollably. 

"I know, bubs. You tell me everyday." They checked the time and saw it was late. "We should get to bed. You need the rest."

"Your right." They headed up to bed and when they were laying down with the lights off, he had one more thing to say.

"It's funny that a bed could have so many memories-"

"GOODNIGHT JOSH! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
