We walked down the road, James was scooting ahead and Ed and I were behind pushing the girls. I had one hand rested on the handle of the pram and Ed had his hand over mine, making me feel safe. We had made it in to the busier part of the city now and we were hit with stares instantly, I watched as people stared and whispered, pointing at Ed and I. I felt myself becoming angry and my face was getting hot. "are you alright?" Ed asked me, the anger arising in me was obviously noticeable. "they're whispering already" I said in a low whisper, barely opening my mouth as I spoke. "maybe they're jealous" he said calmly. trying to make the best of the situation. " more like calling me a slut for being so young" I said gloomily, saddened my the inhumanity of people in the world. "hey, no, you cant be, they're all my kids" he said and I lightened up a bit, it was true, They're all Ed's kids and I wouldn't change it for the world.

"mummy can we go to the park please?" James asked me politely, gently tugging on the rim of my shirt. " maybe after we go to the store" I said and I looked at Ed who nodded at me. We turned into the store and I made my way to the baby aisle, I needed teething gel, diapers and back up formula. "Ed, can you find teething gel?" I asked as my eyes scanned the shelves, unable to find the gel I wanted. I watched as he stared at all the boxes on the shelves, a frown forming on his face as he concentrated. "what are you looking for daddy?" James asked as he watched Ed scan the shelves top to toe. "teething gel son" Ed answered, barely paying attention to James. " like this one daddy?" James asked and Ed and I looked over at James, who had a big tube of teething gel in his hand, waving it around proudly. "ahh yes, good job buddy" Ed praised him and ruffled his hair, taking the gel from him and placing it on top of the hood of our pram. Once we had collected the rest of the items we needed, as well as a few other novelties Ed had added in, we payed up and continued our walk.

"can you push me please Mummy?" James asked me as he ran to a swing at the park. I followed behind him and Ed pushed the pram over to the side where the swings were. "sure" I said and I lifted him onto a swing. "hold on tight" I said and he gripped the chains tighter, making his small knuckles turn white as he giggled. I pushed him slowly and he begged me to go higher. I was nervous about pushing him higher because I was scared he'd fall of, scared because it happened to Sam as a child. "not too high" Ed said and I breathed a sigh of relief as he could've possibly saved a tragedy. " off!" he squealed and he leaned back, making me gasp. "James be careful!" I said worriedly, catching the swing and pulling him off. "sorry mummy" he said and he ran past me, laughing at nothing as he made his way to the fort, which wasn't even a fort, it was more of a wooden hut on the ground, built for toddlers. I walked over to Ed who was cradling Stella, who had since awoken from her deep sleep. "everything okay?" He said and I nodded, reaching my arms out for Stella. "no, she's mine" He said in a babyish tone, drawing back. "Iris is awake" he said, pointing with his elbow to the pram where Iris was laying, gurgling happily to herself. "hello missy" I said and I lifted her to my chest.  Ed pushed the pram over to the fort where James was playing and we sat together on a bench, both rocking the girls. I glanced around the park where I saw a group of snooty mums sitting with their expensive push chairs and expensive clothing, they were staring at Ed and I with a look of disgust. "Ed why do they stare?" I asked sadly, sighing. "I don't know love, maybe because we are awesome" he chuckled and I forced a smile, although I was really upset on the inside, "maybe" I whispered.

The group of snooty mums who had been staring at us from a distance were now sitting across from us, whispering loudly among themselves. I felt rage boil inside me as I heard one of them comment on how Ed and I wouldn't last. I turned to Ed and I turned his head so he was facing me and I placed my lips gently on his, pulling away with a smile. "we should start talking wedding plans" I said loudly, smirking over my shoulder at the women, who were staring back with their mouths open and guilty expressions on their faces. "yeah, we should" he said winking at me, he knew that I was doing it to annoy the women, although we really do need to get it sorted. he too smirked at the women and their faces dropped, making them look like helpless puppies, not like the high maintenance poodles they make out to be. "how much do we have for the wedding?" I asked him, in the same loud tone. "as much as you want, im touring in a few months so we'll have more to spend" he said and he both looked at the group, who looked confused. "Ed take off your hood and glasses" I said and he nodded. He removed his hood and glasses and we heard gasps come from the direction of the snooty mums. "its Ed Sheeran" one of them whispered and we chuckled quietly. "yeah I am, nice to meet you!" Ed said enthusiastically, smiling at them cheekily. "can we get a photo?" one of them asked and they pushed their prams towards us, pulling out their phones. "only if you apologize to my wife" he said they looked at me with guilty expressions. "sorry, we uh had no idea" one of them stuttered and I smiled at her devilishly. "its fine" I said and Ed held out his hand for a phone, which they all hurriedly gave to him. He took selfies with all the women before I piped up and said something. "Ed we need to get going and feed the girls" I said and he nodded. "of course love, excuse us, come on James!" je yelled and James came running. he picked up his scooter and we began our short walk home.

"that was great" I said as we pushed the door open, Ed holding it for me as I pushed the pram into the living room. "it was, I enjoyed it" Ed said, 'mee tooo" James joined in. "is it food time yet?" he added, making his way to the kitchen. "yeah lanes, whats for dinner?" Ed asked cheekily, knowing it was his night in the kitchen. "get your ass in there Edward" I said chuckled, pointing to the kitchen. "fine" he said pouting and dragging his feet into the kitchen, where him and James made dinner together.

"dinner m'lady" Ed said as he placed fajitas in front of me and set a plate down for himself, he was closely followed by James, who carried his own plate. "thank you lord for the food and bless the hands that made it" I said and we tucked in to the delicious food.

"thanks for dinner babe, its perfect" I said as I pecked his lips and stood up, removing the plates from the table and washing up, while Ed prepared dinner for two hungry little girls.
