Chapter 5

When we get home, Alfie takes my phone.
"Don't stress about it, I will find a way out of it" He says putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks babe" I say, tears pricking my eyes. I see him typing something, he hands me my phone and I read what he put.
'Hi guys, due to the recent rumours. I would like to put things straight. I am NOT pregnant, if I was you guys would be the first ones I tell, after my family of course. But I was in hospital because I was visiting my Nan who has just been admitted in. I would appreciate it if you didn't spread stuff like this. Thank you'
"But I dont want to lie to them" I say, still holding the phone.
"We have to, to be able to have a bit of privacy before the baby is born" He says, taking the phone and posting it. I breathe out and hope people believe it.
"Thanks Alfie" I say as he kisses me on the head.
"It's okay beautiful" I smile and hug him, my head under his neck.
"We better get to bed handsome, it's getting late" We dropped Pops off earlier on the way back so we will be okay to go to bed now anyways. We both walk upstairs and I go into my wardrobe and get some comfy pajamas on, I walk back into the room and lie down, falling asleep as Alfie says.
"I love you, beautiful, no matter what happens I will always love you"
"I love you too handsome, and I will always love you too" He kisses me on the tip of my nose then turns round and turns the lamp off, I quickly fall asleep.
I wake up, sweating, and breathing really heavily and fast. I sit up and wipe my forehead, I turn the bedside lamp on to check the time.
12:05pm
Great, I can't sleep. I turn the lamp back off and go on my phone. I have thousand of notifications. I go onto my Facebook and check the post that Alfie posted earlier. I go onto the comments and see a lot more hate comments than usual.
-Your such a f*cking liar!-
-Why would you lie to us you b*tch!-
-The person who posted the photo asked the receptionist why you were here! I can't believe you lied! You were my f*cking idol! You b*tch I will never watch you again!-
I sit there in shock, my mouth open. I start crying and throw my phone at the wall, I shake Alfie, with tears blocking up my vision.
"Whats up beautiful" He asks whilst turning to face me. He sees me in tears and immediatly sits up. "Baby, whats wrong, and why is your phone over there?" I don't say anything and just bury my face into his chest, still crying my eyes out. He gets out of bed and grabs my phone, he checks the comments and looks back at me, neither of us saying a word. "We need to make a video and now" I nod and we both go downstairs where the camera is already set up. I sit down and Alfie turns the camera on.
"Hi guys" I say drearily.
"We are gonna skip all the hello stuff. We need to tell you something, but Zoë doesn't really feel like speaking right now anyway. We are having a baby, but most of you already knew that anyway. The reason we didn't tell you guys is because everything we do is for you guys and everything is always shared with you but we wanted this to be a private family thing, not a whole world thing. Yes, we would have told you soon enough but we have only just found out ourselves and wanted time to get our heads around it and build a nursery for our little one. All we wanted was privacy for the baby's sake, but it's out there now and we can't take it back. Zoë doesn't need all these hate comments just because we wanted some privacy for god sake, if there is anyone who should be taking the hate it is me, because I was the one who wanted it to be a secret, not Zoë, she wanted to make a video about it, but I didn't want her to. If you still hate us because we lied then please don't cause any more stress for us, or the baby. Bye guys, thats all this video is about" Alfie gets up and turns the camera off, he uploads the video straight away, no editing needed, by the time we went back to bed it was about 1am, because we were waiting up to see how people reacted, some people were really supportive but others weren't. They weren't as horrible as before, but they didn't seem very happy for us either. We fell asleep really quickly when we finally got into bed and I snuggled up to Alfie so I could sleep.
