dreams pov:

my body aches from the game as i lift my sleeping toddler into her car seat, i feel bad for george, i had made him worry through a long football match them sit through a dinner with people he didn't like very much all while he was feeling sick,

my heart breaks even more when i hear him crying in the front seat, "nick do you think you could drive us home?" i ask, as the texan clips ivy into her car seat,

"yeah sure," he says, walking to the drivers seat, i walk around to where george is sitting and pull him into a hug,

"still feeling sick?" i ask, stroking his back,

"mhm," he sobs, "and she keeps kicking, and i wanna throw up and i was a miserable brat for your whole night,"

"shhh, i liked having you on my lap," i tell him truthfully, "you're warm and soft and you smell nice," i say, i hear him laugh slightly through a cry, "let's go home, you can sleep on top of me in the back seat,"

he nods and leans into me letting me pick him up and carry him to the back seat beside where ivy is sleeping, it takes george a couple seconds to get comfortable i imagine it must be annoying trying to find a cuddling position with a baby that seems to love kicking anything that presses on it,

when he's comfy and sleeping with his head nuzzled into my neck i pull out my phone to see a text from my agent, she tells me there's a magazine wiling to pay a ridiculous large amount of money for an interview tonight,

i agree since it's a lgbt magazine that i've talked to  before and quite like and tell her i can talk to them in a couple hours when i get home.

when we arrive home nick carries ivy in as i carry george, i put him in bed then go get ivy ready for bed but after a couple minute feel a soft body cuddle into my back and a pair of arms wrap around me waist.

"babbyyy," i groan, "i can't go cuddle with you right now i have an interview,"

"noooo," he mumbles, i can feel the baby kicking against my back,

"you wanna sit on my lap while i talk to them?" i sigh,

"mhm," he nods, i'm glad i get to have something to cuddle with while i talk to them and just hope they don't ask me to turn on my camera.

we both change into more comfortable clothes in the brief twenty minutes we have between putting ivy to bed and the call, george has given up on trying to buy comfortable masculine looking maternity clothes and now lives in my hoodies and shorts, not that he didn't do it before he just has an excuse now.

we then go sit in my office, george with his head on my shoulder. the questions they ask me are the same as every other sports reporter today along with some more personal stuff wich i happily answer before going to bed.

it's clear george enjoyed sitting on my lap as i worked as the next evening as i answer emails in my office he slips away from the show he and nick were watching to join me, and continues to do this every night as he his bump gets bigger and bigger.

halloween seems to sneak up on us with the chaos of getting ready for the baby and me playing in the league again, we decide against going into the city to trick-or-treat since that honestly sounds like a nightmare and instead george nick and i all dress up with ivy, and we make a treasure hunt around the grounds full of candy for her,

of course i end up dressed as a princess in a similar pink dress to ivy, nick is a vampire and george paints his bump to look like a pumpkin, we have so much fun but i can't help think back to three years ago when i spent halloween drunk at a house party while george was sick in bed and hooked up with a girl.
