george's pov:

i wake up to ivy calling out for here dads, dreams blonde curls are tickling my cheek, and his hand is resting over my stomach, "hi big boy," i grin,

"morning," he smiles, "and good morning little baby," he grins climbing down the bed and kissing all over my belly.

i reach over and shock my phone to see if my parcels been delivered, a shirt i ordered the day after valentine's day that says big sister, "can you go take care of vee, i think there's a package for me," i say,

"of course," he smiles, sliding out of bed and slipping on a hair of pyjama pants and slippers then walking towards the nursery, i put on a sweater and pyjama pants then walk down to the front door, very grateful for our underfloor heating on this cold morning, i find a box at the door i pick it up and walk back inside while using my fingers to tear away the seal and reveal the shirt, it makes me smile, "look bab," i say holding the shirt to my belly, "you're first present to your big sister,"

i fold the shirt over my arm as i walk into the nursery where dream is sitting with ivy on his lap, "sweetie i've got a present for you," i smile, reaching into my back pocket and pulling out the pregnancy test, dream smiles with a slight confusion,

"you know how before you were born you grew in dadas tummy," i explain,

"dadas belly," she babbles,

"well me and papa found out last night that there's another baby,"

"i papas belly?" she asks pointing to dreams relaxed abs,

"no in my belly again, and you're gonna be their big sister," i beam showing her the shirt

"baba," she smiles clapping her little hands,

"mhm," i nod, "do you wanna wear you present from you sibling today?" i say with a smile, she nods enthusiastically, i pull it over her head and she happily babble to dream about the new baby, he looks as if he could burst with joy, i could too, i take out my phone a take a picture of ivy and dream, and set it as my home screen,

apart from the amazing news our days seems to go on as usual, apart from the fact i'm now on pregnancy vitamins instead on fertility vitamins and the fact dream refuses to let me do anything that could possibly hurt me or the baby, wich really isn't a change since he's always very protective.

after a week passes i begin to get morning sickness, it's oddly comforting to have a constant reminder that the baby is alive, even though it's unpleasant, and dream is there with me every morning holding my and keeping me warm, cleaning my face and even keeping his patience on the mornings i get sick on his hoodie and chest,

every morning ivy hugs my belly and says good morning to her baby sibling and every morning dream reminds her to be gentle even though she always is, i start to buy her books on being a big sister and read them with her on my lap patting my belly every night,

i don't think this time three years ago i would've even let myself dream of having such a simple happy life with the man i love and the best daughter one could every wish for.

ivys birthday rolls around quickly and dream i plan a hug part for her with all of his family, our friends and some of the friends she's made in the short time we've spent in the city with her,

i love watching dream plan the party meticulously picking and planing out everything so the day is perfect for ivy, my morning sickness has turned into general nausea all day and i swear my stomachs not as flat as it was but i'm more than willing to keep this news hidden until after the party.

on the morning of ivy's birthday we wake her up with her favourite breakfast, i then bathe her as dream prepares the present we've been planning since we had the idea of moving somewhere like this, a seven year old, well behaved pony, that we're gonna keep in a livery stable about twenty minutes away while dream builds a stable for him, and ivy takes riding lessons to be able to ride him safely,
