Australian Love Affair

Sophie's P.O.V.
It's February. I'm getting bigger. When I left Michael I was 4 months pregnant and now I'm 5 months. I've been to the doctor. I thought that when I left I was only 2 or 3 months along in January but when I went to the doctor, nope I was 4 months. So here I am. I have a happy healthy baby but...I miss Michael. I told Harry to go home for the most of the week which he did but now I feel lonely up in Harry's Hollywood Hills house. I love the house though. I really do. I've actually never lived on my own. When I moved out of home, I moved in with Michael so yeah.  This is like living alone. I hate it though. I miss company. I miss the kids. I miss Michael. I miss my family. Just as I sit crying on the couch, the door opens. Harry rushes over to me. He hugs me tightly for around 40 minutes. 'Sweetie. I think it's time you tried to talk things out with Michael.' He says. 'I know.' I say. 'Sleep tonight though then think about it tomorrow.' I nod my head and go to bed with help of Harry since I've beginning to struggle a little bit with how big I'm getting. Hazza thinks I'm having a girl. I think I might be too. I sleep well-ish that night and decide to go home the next day. I only have a bit of time left before I can't fly so it's best to go home now. I pack up my stuff and take Harry's baby gift too. It's a baby grow saying 'I've got an awesome uncle Harry.' I giggled like mad when he gave it to me. I got up and got dressed. I grab my bags and my shoulder bag that I slide my scan photos into. Harry takes me to the airport and I board my long flight to Australia. I've told Dionne I'm coming home. Finally I land and I had to get Dionne to come right in to get me as I felt dizzy with jet lag. We drive back around Sydney for awhile before I decide to go face Michael. Me and Dionne hug before I head up to the front door. I open the front door and step in. 'Mickey? Sally?' I call out. 'Mommy!' I hear two voices squeal. The pair come running downstairs and hug me. They pull back and look shocked at my big belly. 'Woah mommy! You're big! You're having a baby!' Sally says. 'Wow mom. You are really big for, how many months?' Mickey asks. '5 months.' I say. 'Wow!' A few minutes later, a Michael walks in the room. 'Kids, what's going on in he-' Michael stops mid-sentence. I look up and see him just standing there, frozen. I stand up from the couch. 'Hi Mikey.' I say. His eyes travel to my belly. He keeps staring at my belly without a word. Sally and Mickey grin. 'We'll be upstairs.' He says. Michael stays still even after the kids disappear. I step closer to him. 'You...you're....p-p-p-' 'Pregnant Mikey. Yes. I am pregnant.' I say. Michael hugs me tightly. 'Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I thought that there was maybe someone else or something and you were uncontactable. I'm so happy to see you but you've shocked me. I didn't except to see you home.' 'Well here I am.' We hug then Michael and I talk and he gives me my engagement ring and my wedding ring back. He seem...off. I can't put my finger on it yet but something isn't right.

It's a week later. Michael is acting really weird. He's always checking his phone and is always texting someone. I think he's been having an affair while I've been away. Thankfully Michael had left is phone in the living room while he is out back. I grab it quickly and unlock his phone. I go into messages. There's a conversation with a Taylor. That could be male right? I scroll through a little bit and no. No no no! There's a few pickup lines, used by Michael. I feel the tears threaten. I push them back when I hear his phone. 'What you doing there baby?' He asks. I look up at him. 'Michael? You do love me right?' I ask. He looks confused but nods. 'Of course I do.' 'There's not someone else is there?' I ask. 'What?' He asks and looks hesitant. 'Someone else. Is there someone else?' I ask. 'Baby-' 'I want to know.' 'No baby. There's no one else.' He says. 'Then who's Taylor?!' I ask yelling. Michael freezes. 'See! There is someone else! Why Michael? What did I do?' I ask, yelling still. 'It's not what you think.' He says. 'Oh so what? You just accidentally sent her multiple pickup lines?! Unbelievable!' 'Sophie baby, you're-' 'No! Shut up! I wanna know who she is! Do I know her? What does she have that I don't? Cause I have your kids, Michael! I'm carrying your fûcking child and you go off and screw with someone else!' I yell. Anytime Michael goes to speak I cut him off. I then stop suddenly as I feel pain. 'Baby!' I hear Michael's panicked voice. Suddenly Mickey runs in. 'Mom! Calm down mom! You don't want to hurt the baby!' He warns. I take deep breathes and calm down. 'It's alright son. I got momma. You go play.' Mike says. 'Honey. Taylor is-' 'Probably just someone you are sleeping with while I'm pregnant.' I say. 'Well honey, I didn't even realise I was gay so you wanna explain how you came to that?' Michael asks, smugly. My face falls. 'Oh.' 'You silly cookie.' I giggle and Michael takes my face in his hands before pecking my lips and taking me to rest. 'You don't wanna hurt the baby, baby.'
