*Jade's P.O.V*
I woke up earlier this morning with Harry talking on his phone outside the room. He came back to tell me that Josh called him and asked if he could take me out just for lunch. I agreed but Harry wasn't agreeing so much. "Jade, I don't want him near you after what he did." Harry said sitting down on the bed next to me. "But that was the past, Harry. I have forgiven him already." I tried to convince him. "Jade, you know I can't see you hurt." He spoke softly, circling his thumb on my hand. "I won't be hurt, Harry. I promise" I replied in remotely the same volume as him. He stayed silent for a bit before nodding. "But I'm coming to pick you up at exactly 2" he said. I looked over to the clock and it was 9. I nodded at him and got up.

The door bell rang and I heard Harry's voice telling me that he'll open the door for me. I quickly wore my flats and fixed my hair. Harry rushed upstairs to me to help me walk down the stairs as Josh waited on the couch. It was getting harder and harder to walk and climb down the stairs. Harry would beg me to stay downstairs and that he would set me the guest room to my choice and stay with me but I told him not to. He's been by my side for the past months and he's been doing everything for me. From my 3am cravings to early morning breakfasts. He made sure I took all my medications and vitamins on time along with eating healthy food.
"Hi, Jade." Josh said as I approached him. I gave him a smile and and replied him. "Shall we go?" He asked. "Yep." I replied him. "Uh, Harry, do you want to join us? I thought you won't be free, that's why I didn't originally ask you" Josh asked Harry. I saw Harry rub the back of his neck before shaking his head. "I'll stay home and prepare dinner for Jade and I. Since I'm not so good at cooking, it's going to take me some time." He chuckled making me smile. I gave him a kiss before heading out. Josh helped me to the car and drove off. "How's life so far, mother to be?" Josh chuckled. "Pretty hectic" I replied him laughing. "I can imagine. But Harry's must be even more hectic." He said. "Oh yes. My poor little guy. He has to deal with my 3am cravings" I told him. "I can imagine that too" Josh continued. We parked near a cafe before having lunch and just talking and spending some time together. I figured out it would be nice to spend time with him after he had apologized. After all, he's human too.
"Let me drop you home" Josh said as we got up to go. "Oh, Harry said he'll pick me up at 2." I told Josh. He looked at his watch before speaking up again. "It's only 12:50pm. It's alright, Jade. I'll drop you home." He said. Hmm might as well go. I can't be bothered to wait another hour or so. We walked to his car and got in. As we drove off, Josh asked if I would like to take the long route so we could crazily jam out to our favorite songs and of course I agreed. Who wouldn't want that. So that's what we did.
"I be in the club standing on the couch
In them Wolf Greys like it's my house
Drinking out the bottle, I got no respect
Looking like a model, who just got a check
I back it up, cause I don't give a damn
If you're a lame, that's a shame you can't hang with us"Josh and I sang along word for word. God knows how we got to this song but oh well. We continued filling the car with our hideous singing voices with the windows down. After our jams, I decided to choose a slow song while Josh would not agree and change the song every time I'd try to change.
"This one." I picked "All of me". "Nope" Josh leaned forward and changed it to "Wrecking ball". "No Josh" I stopped him and changed the song back. "No, I want to hear wrecking ball" he said and changed again. "No!" I whined. He wouldn't listen and continue changing the song. "Fine.." Josh finally gave up and let my chosen song play. I smiled in accomplishment and looked out the window. We had gone out of the busy streets and all I could see was trees passing by our moving car. "Why are we out here?" I asked Josh curiously. "Oh, sorry. Don't be scared. I'm driving to Anne's place. Is it alright? Thought Gemma and Anne would be happy to have you there" He replied making a smile form on my face. "It's absolutely fine. In fact, thank you!" I told him. He's so caring. "I'll just inform Harry." I took my phone out from my bag and dialed Harry's number. "Hello, love" I heard Harry's voice. I could hear utensils clanking behind him. "Hey" I said. "Everything alright?" He asked. "Yeah, I should be asking you. What's up?" I asked him. He chuckled as I heard him setting the oven. "Shit, shit, shit. Ah. Hold on, Jade. Don't cut the call. Just hold on." He said. Don't tell me he burnt something in the oven. "Ah, I uh. Burnt the cake that I was supposed to make as a surprise for you." I heard him say. I burst out in laughter at his words. "Harry. Oh my goodness." I said between my laughter. "What do you mean oh my goodness" he mocked me. "I was going to give you a surprise.." He said. "The fact that you thought about it is more than enough." I told him. "Hmm" I heard him. "Oh and Harry?" I asked. "Yeah?" "I'm uh, on my way to Anne's place right now." I told him. "What? You didn't tell me that you were going to visit mum" he said. "Yeah, Josh just told me, he said we can give them a surprise. Do you want to drive over too? We can go out for dinner with them later on?" I asked him. "Uh, it's alright. You can go ahead. I should clean up. Plus the boys are coming over tonight. Just keep in contact alright." He said. "Will do." I informed him. "Great. Take care. Love you." "Love you too." I replied and ended the call.

"Jade!! Oh my god. What a lovely surprise." Anne exclaimed and engulfed me in a hug. Gemma came from behind Anne as saw me and rushed to me. "Jade, you're here" Gemma hugged me as well. Josh greeted them as well and we were invited in. "Harry didn't come?" Gemma asked me as we say on the couches. "Oh, I originally came out for lunch with Josh and we planned on the way to give you a surprise. I asked Harry to come but the boys are coming over tonight so he couldn't come." I told her. "Ah, I see." She replied. The day went on with us chatting along and laughing at random things. Gemma told me how she had planned everything girly for Ivanna's play dates. Anne also said that Ivanna's baby shower might as well be held sometime soon before my due date. 3 months earlier should be a good time for baby shower. Josh also told us about how his sister's baby shower went. We talked so much that we completely lost track of time. "We should probably get going, Harry most be worried." I spoke up looking at the time on my phone. It was already 8pm. "Oh yeah, you should. It's getting late." Gemma said and got up with Josh and I. "Oh, hold on a minute. Let me just pack some dinner for Harry and the boys. I'm sure they're surviving on pizza and beer." Anne chuckled and went to the kitchen. "It was lovely to have you here, today. Both of you." Gemma said and held my hands. I was going to reply her but I felt Ivanna kick. "Oh." I immediately reacted. "Jade. Are you okay?" Gemma and Josh panicked. Josh placed his hands on my arms. I placed a hand on the side of my stomach where I felt her kick. "She kicked." I said softly waiting for her to kick again. "Oh my god" Gemma's face brightened up. "Mum, you need to see this." Gemma called Anne. Anne rushed over and asked what happened. I smiled and took her hand and placed it on the side of my stomach. "She kicked." I told her. Her face brightened as well as she attentively waited. Ivanna kicked again and Anne felt it. "Jade!!" Anne squealed as she felt it. "I can't wait for her to come to this world." Anne said and hugged me.Eventually, we left the house with Josh holding packs of food for the boys back home as we walked to his car. "Happy?" Josh asked me. "So much!" I replied him with a wide grin. He smiled and spoke up. "Now let's get you back home to your husband." He said. The drive back home took a long time since Anne's house was quite far from ours. I looked out the window as Josh spoke up. "Jade, could you give me the water bottle?" "Sure." I replied and handed it to him. He opened the bottle to drink but the bottle fell on his feet. "Dammit." He said trying to reach down to get the bottle but couldn't reach it. "My shoes are all wet." He said and reached down even more. I laughed but soon it was replaced with panic. I saw bright lights right ahead of us. "JOSH! WATCH OUT!" But that was too late. I felt a sharp pain erupting in my stomach and my vision started to get blurry.
