Shawn's not one for birthday parties bit since it's his 21st he wanted one. It's at this huge place in LA. I didn't object because it's not my night but I don't expect the room at the end of the night to be particularly clean.
Taylor's POV:
Me and Ed had decided to stay home whilst Shawn and A went to LA to celebrate. We plan on moving house into somewhere different and maybe slightly further away for the kids.
I awake in the middle of the night, hot, sweaty and ready to heave. I dash to the bathroom and throw up, clearly loud enough for Ed to hear.
"Taylor love, are you okay?" He walks in as I chuck and hurries over, running one hand soothingly up and down my back and the other holds back my hair.
"Sorry," I mumble as shaking I collapse into his arms.
"No, no baby don't you worry, let's get you back to bed. Just brush your teeth for me," He speaks softly as his arms clasp around my body. He stays with me in the bathroom as I clean myself up.
"Evelyn, what are you doing up?" I jump at the sound of Ed's voice after so much silence.
"I heard Mommy crying," She whispers; "Don't leave again daddy,"
"Oh princess," I whisper as she runs to hug me; "Daddy's not leaving again,"
"Why were you crying Mommy?"
"Mommy's just been a bit ill monkey, that's all."
"Oh, can I stay with you anyway?" She says politely and I nod.
"Just for tonight baby girl," I tell her and scoop her up.
"Taylor, I don't think that's wise;" Ed warns but I get to our bed anyway. Ed yanks me backwards to face him; "You don't just throw up and then carry your 7 year old to bed, Tay you're making me really worried."
"Can we talk about this later," I plead and he nods and kisses my forehead.
"As long as you're okay darling,"
"Momma! Daddy!" Maya yells down the corridor.
"Oh Maya," Ed walks back in holding a crying Maya close to his chest as he strokes her hair.
"Stay with you," She says, emerging from Ed's chest.
"Alright little one, it's going to be a tight squeeze tonight."
We all get into bed and I hold little Maya next to me. What a long night.

I awake the next morning feeling better so I slip out of bed to downstairs and make breakfast for everyone. I switch on my phone and see an alert from the app that tracks my period.
'It's been 2 months since you were last on. Please remember to alert the app if you have been on." S***. F***. My hand rises to my mouth as tears well up.
"Mommy! Daddy says you need to go back to bed!" Ev runs up to me and starts to tug me away from the kitchen.
"Not now Ev sweetie, Mommy just needs to sort herself out. Tell Daddy that I'll be up in a minute," I kiss her forehead before she nods and dashes back upstairs.
When I finish getting coffees I head upstairs to my room where Ed looks like he's about to leave.
"Tay what are you doing? You're ill,"
"I don't think I am, I need to go out. I'll be back in a minute. See if the kids can hold on for breakfast," I speak quickly as I throw on clothes.
"O-okay," Ed replies confusedly as I peck his lips and speed walk off.
I get to the store and pick up some tests, I then go to my parents to borrow their bathroom. I also don't want the kids to ask questions.
"I need your toilet," I say hurriedly and my Mom just nods and I sprint upstairs. I sort them out quickly and now I have to wait.
"Taylor! What are you doing honey?" My Mom yells up the stairs.
"1 minute," I shout back as I pace the room anxiously.
9 minutes 45 seconds.
9 minutes 50 seconds.
9 minutes 55 seconds.
10 minutes.
Positive.
Positive.
Positive.
I'm pregnant.
There's a small little human growing inside me.
"Taylor, I'm worried. Let me in," My Mom knocks as I unlock the door.
"Mom, I'm pregnant." I blurt as shocked tears flow down my cheek.
"Taylor! I'm gonna have 4 grandkids!" My Mom throws her arms round me. "Go! Get home and tell Ed! Now," She practically shoves me out the house with a broad grin. I take a moment to simply jump up and down slightly. I'm gonna have another kid!
I get home and run through the door then leap on Ed.
"Hello to you too Tay," He hugs me back as my legs wrap round his torso.
"I'm pregnant Ed!" I squeal and he smiles ecstatically.
"That's great babe!" He responds before showering my face with kisses.
"What happen?" Maya tugs on Ed's leg as he lets me down.
"Go and get Ev baby girl," I press a kiss on the top of her head before she toddles off.
"What do you want to tell us Mommy? I want to play on the trampoline!"
"Okay honey but will you two just sit down now," They sit on the floor together and look up at us with wide eyes.
"Okay little one's, Mommy is going to have another baby." Ed tells them.
"In there?" Maya pokes my tummy lightly.
"Yeah Maya," I smile.
"Of course it's in Mommy's tummy Maya! That's where the baby grows," Ev says matter of factly.
"Well girlies I think we should go out after this exciting news!" I say and the girls nod.
"Alright then, go and get changed and we'll meet you down here in a couple of minutes."
Arri's POV:
Shawn's party is mad. I try to busy myself talking and catching up with people who are not yet intoxicated.
The party continues and as others get more and more drunk I feel more and more out of my depth.
Shawn saunters over to me, grinning widely. "Hey babe," He slurs his words and giggles slightly.
"Hello Shawn," I say, beginning to get worried at the fact he's walking me closer to the wall.
"Don't be so serious baby," With that his lips are placed hungrily on mine and I know his intentions as he squeezes my ass.
"Shawn, I'm not doing this." I tell him firmly.
"Of course you are,"
"Shawn get off please," I sigh as he begins to trail his lips round my body with meaningless kisses.
I pull him away and leave the party quickly with no security. I feel exposed and scared as I run to the hotel whilst cameras gather round.
"Arri!" I hear Karen's voice across the road and turn round. She crosses to my side and walks up to me.
"Honey, are you okay? Why did you leave without security?"
"I'm fine, really. I just need to go to bed-"
"Shawn hasn't done anything stupid has he, if he's pranced off with another girl I give you permission to slap him round the head."
"No, no. He's just drunk, he doesn't know what he's doing." I explain and she nods.
"Was he making you uncomfortable?"
"A little bit,"
"Well then let's go back together. Shawn will hardly miss me I'm sure, do you need me to call Aaliyah and ask her if she can take Shawn to her room?" Karen speaks kindly as she leads me to the hotel.
"If that's okay, I just don't want to face him tonight. I'm sorry," I mumble but Karen pulls me into a tight embrace.
"No sweetheart, don't be sorry. People change when they're intoxicated, it can sometimes be daunting. You and Shawn need to talk about this and how you feel about how he treats people when he's drunk. He values your opinion more than anything and will certainly respect how you feel about whatever happened, it'll be okay." I pull away with a few tears but Karen hands me a tissue as we take the elevator to my room.
We get to the room and I stare at my make up in the mirror, I look a mess. "I look disgusting," I mutter; "I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn cheats,"
"Arabella," Karen places a hand on my shoulder; "Don't abuse yourself like that, you're absolutely stunning. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise," She hugs me again before I get changed into some sweatpants and a hoodie.
"Thank you Karen, I'm such a state." I sigh before she leaves after an hour.
"No worries love, we all feel like it sometimes."
I'm just worrying about Shawn.
