Josh had driven off on his motorcycle after we had gotten into a fight over the press finding out I was pregnant. I am 5 months now so they were bound to find out sooner or later but I really wanted Josh and I to be the ones that broke the news when the time was right. Not the paparazzi snooping and stalking us until they found something to put on their headlines.

After Josh's Oscar win last year, he has become a more desirable actor and our lives have been under an even closer watch. At 27, he is the youngest actor to ever win an Oscar for best actor in a leading role.

I guess it really wasn't that big of a deal but me and my crazy hormones thought otherwise. All I can remember is getting a freaking news update on my phone alerting me that I was pregnant.

Josh's timing was horrible because not a minute later, he walked through the door. And cue the hormones...

"What the hell is this Josh?"

"Babe, what are you talking about?" Bless him. He puts up with me and my crazy hormones more than any guy would. I held my phone up and showed him the newest headlines about us.

"Hon, what-"

"I thought we were going to announce it when WE were ready. I'm not ready for the whole world to know that I am pregnant Josh."

"I hate to brake it to you babe, but you are starting to show. You have a cute little baby bump now. People were going to put two and two together eventually."

"Now is not the time for sarcasm."

"Babe, don't stress out about this. All your stress is not good for the baby." He took a step towards me, attempting to place a hand on my baby bump but I took a step back and swatted his hand away.

"Audrey, baby come here. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Oh i'll tell you what's wrong Joshua. All these stupid paparazzi have been following me everywhere and i'm sick of it. I can't step two feet out that door without them breathing down my neck."

"I don't know what you want me to do about it. I offered for Andre to watch out for you but you didn't want him to."

"I don't want him to feel like he has to go everywhere with me."

"Well, I don't trust many people to look out for you." I could hear the frustration becoming more evident in his voice. But my stupid hormones wouldn't let me stop!

"Why does anyone have to come with me? Sometimes I just like to go out alone like a normal pregnant person. What's so wrong with that?"

"Nothing, but you are not a normal pregnant person. You are married to me. And I know with all the new movies coming up and everything that's happened over the past year has been stressful, but I thought you were ok."

"I was. But I wasn't thinking about our baby when you won that Oscar last year, or when you signed on to all of these movies. Baby I am so proud of you, but I don't want them invading our lives anymore. Especially our baby's life."

"What, like I do? You knew that all of this was possible when you decided to marry me. You knew that my dream was to win an Oscar and play incredible roles as well as direct in some movies. My dreams are coming true. I have these new movies, and my production company is finally getting the recognition it deserves, and we are about to become parents."

"Josh-" He put up his hand to stop me from whatever I was going to say.

"No, Audrey. It sounds like you don't even care that I am literally living my dream right now. I need to go for a drive or something."
