The next few weeks were some of the best. When Noah reached 2 months he had hit all his milestones and had done really well. Calum had only done a few shows. He didn't like leaving a lot because he wanted to be the best dad possible.
It was now the end of July.
It was about 9 o clock one night.Calum came in.
"Right he's down for the night" he says falling backwards on the bed.
"Okay Hun" I say reading my book.
"Everything okay?" Cal asks me as I hadn't spoken much recently.
"Yeah I've just been busy, I'm exhausted ya know" I say. Truth is earlier that day a fan charged me angrily. She hit me and it knocked my confidence completely.
"You're lieing" he says pulling my chin up.
I burst out crying.
"Baby, don't cry, please tell me what happened"
"Today... I went to the mall, in the new car. Luckily i left Noah with you and the boys. A fan got really angry that I wasn't with you. She ran at me and hit me..." I explain
"Stop fucking stop!" He gets up with his hands behind his head
"I'm sorry Calum I didn't call you or anything" I say grabbing his em trying to calm him.
"No, it's fine...are you okay?? Did it hurt?" Cal asks
I nod lifting up my tshirt showing a huge black bruise. Calum storms out the bedroom door. I get up to chase him but he walks outside and lights up a cigarette. I walk over to the back door.
"Cal... I'm sorry" I whisper
He turns to me. I notice a tear.
"No beth, you don't have to be! I don't know If I can do this anymore.., if you and Noah are under risk...I can't.. Maybe I should ca it quits..."
"Shut up cal you're just angry" I interrupt
"No beth I'm not just angry, I'm hurt, how could I let this happen?" He says wiping his face taking a drag from his fag. He breathes out smoke whilst talking
"What man would allow their fiancé to get hit?"
"Calum I'm fine! It's just a bruise!" I say. He chucks his fag but away and stands up to me. He grabs my face
"Fine, but we're making a video and the fans will be warned" he says kissing my forehead.
We film a video explaining what happened and how it was unacceptable for this to be happening. Cal explains how we will have security 24/7 as its too unsafe with Noah.
The minute we posted it on social media the fans were crazy supportive. We got thousands of tweets under the hashtag #staypeaceful . It was amazing to know so many people were behind us. The other families (what I'll call Lucy and Luke Hollie and Michael etc from now on) came round to ask questions. They were really supportive and Hollie and Michael invited us round for lunch tomorrow. They left and me and cal could finally get into bed. It was the longest night ever!
I laid in bed not able to sleep. Calum noticed...
"Go to sleep" he says in his raspy sleepy voice.
"I'm sorry" I say rolling into his arms.
"Don't ever forget how much I love you and Noah" cal says tightening the hug, still with his eyes shut.
"I won't. Thank you for caring so much cal. I love you more than anything ever" I say
"I love you more than anything ever ever ever" he replies
I smile and go to sleep straight away.
The next morning I'm woken by Noah at 6:30. I pick him out of his Moses basket an take him downstairs so I can settle him without waking cal. By 8 Calum was up ready to help me. He picked Noah up from his cradle. I made a full English breakfast for us and we sat down to eat by 9. We had to be at hollie and Michael's by 12. I got in the shower leaving cal with Noah, then we swapped. We were abit late because Noah needed changing.
When we got there it smelt lush. Hollie was an amazing cook. Lucy was in ten kitchen helping her. The boys were playing with Dylan. I walk over to the boys giving them a hug and giving Dylan a big kiss. I walk into the kitchen. I had bought some wine for us ladies and cal bought some beers. Noah was asleep in the buggy so I left him there.
"Hi ladies!! Smells lush Hollie" I say walking to hem kissing then on the cheek.
"Heeyyyy, new mummy!" Lucy says
"Hiya and thanks" Hollie says
"How's everyone been?" I ask
"Good" they reply.
"Sooooo, when you getting married?" Hollie spins to face me.
"Soon hopefully! Maybe next month?!" I say "wine anyone?" I offer and pour some glasses. I had stopped breast feeding now as there was complications. Noah starts crying so I walk into the other room to grab him.
"I got it!" Michael says jumping up to get Noah.
"Okay haha!" I say. I turn to Hollie. "I think he's ready Hollie" I say laughing.
"He better be" she said.
"What? Why?" I say smiling
"Oh shit I wasn't suppose to say anything!" Hollie says putting her hand over her mouth! " Michael quickly" she shouts.
He comes in calmly holding Noah.
"You let it out didn't you!" Michael says rolling his eyes smiling.
"WERE HAVING A CHILD!!" Hollie shouts. We all start jumping around.. Apart from Michael obviously.
"Right I think he needs feeding" I say offering to take Noah off micahel. He's been cuddling him on the sofa for half an hour now.
"I'll do it don't worry! I need the practice" Michael offers.
I pass him the bottle and Bib and let him an Hollie take care of him. Me and cal sit snuggled up on the sofa. Lucy and Luke are sat playing with Dylan.
After Noah's been fed Hollie burps him. They will be perfect parents. Lucy then changes him for me as she knows how tiring it gets. Luke changes Dylan at the same time. Ashton turns up. I walk over and kiss his cheeks.
"Hello stranger!" I say holding him.
"Hey! How are you?" He says
We walk in talking. Hollies I'm te kitchen serving food so me and cal lay the table. As we all sit round the table we all laugh about memories. Cal starts...
"Hey beth do you remember te time we were on holiday...l"
"Shhh" I interrupt.
We finish and I help tidy up. We all sit and play monopoly together whilst Dylan and Noah nap upstairs together. We get half way through the game when ash and cal go up to get them. They bring them down in matching outfits. Ash must of snuck them in! They looked so adorable as matching ninja turtles. We all laugh hysterically. I sit with Noah in my arms still playing the game. When he starts crying or starts Riggling I pass him to cal who eventually passes him to everyone so they all get a cuddle. Dylan decided to sit on my lap throwing the dye for me.
We leave after the game. Lucy and Luke leave after us as Dylan's a bit older so it's more reasonable.
By 9 Noah's In bed. Me and cal run a bath and hop in. He starts kissing me. Viscously... Driving me crazy...
