I woke up the next day and headed downstairs to make coffee. It was gonna be awhile before I could sleep in past 6. While I waited for the coffee to perk, I grabbed the laundry basket from the bedroom and checked the girls rooms and their bathroom for clothes and towels before heading back down stairs. I started a load of towels and headed back to the kitchen. My half pot of coffee was ready and I made up my cup and headed to the living room. I made the stupid decision to google myself and nothing but bad things came up. One article said I was just after Dave and his money, while another one said that Dave and I had been having an affair for over a year and a half according to a close friend of mine. I had only known Dave since the end of July so that was impossible and the only people in town I knew where Dave, Taylor, the rest of the guys, Abby and Gisele. Another one said I was using Dave to advance my own career. There was a couple of articles that where good. One of them just mentioned that Dave and I went out to dinner and that we looked happy. It also mentioned how far along I was in my pregnancy. The other one was about me and the show. It focused on me and the show and there was only three sentences about Dave. "Brittany is currently expecting her first child with her boyfriend Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. Grohl is currently going through a divorce from soon to be ex wife Jordyn Blum. Dave and Jordyn have three daughters together; Violet, Harper and Ophelia."

I finished the half pot of coffee I made before I threw the towels int he dryer and started the clothes. I headed upstairs and took a shower and got ready for the day. Dave was still asleep when I went back downstairs. I folded the towels and put the clothes in the dryer before going to the kitchen to make breakfast and more coffee. I made bacon, eggs and hashbrowns and was putting it on plates when Dave walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning baby. I made breakfast," I said with a smile as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Good morning. What time did you get up at?" Dave asked as we sat down at the table.

"The usual. If I'm too cheery for you, it's because I had a half pot of coffee," I said as he started eating.

"Just don't drink anymore ok. We don't need this little one turning into a coffee addict before it's even born," Dave replied as he put a hand on my belly. I felt flutter and my eyes went wide. Dave just smiled at me.

"Was that a kick?" I asked as I felt another flutter.

"Uh huh. It's an active little one today," he replied as he kept a hand on my belly because the baby was still kicking.

"Maybe it was the coffee that made him be active finally," I said as we both started eating again.

"You keep saying him like you're positive it's a boy," he said after he ate a piece of bacon.

"I think you're only saying it's a girl because that's all you've had so far. I feel like it's a boy. I want a boy," I responded with.

"I'm saying girl because I want a mini you," he replied.

"It's a gonna be a mini you. Just you wait. Hey you sure you want Abby coming with me later?" I asked.

"Ya. I need to stay at the studio today and work. You two will only be gone an hour at the most. We can both wait til you get back from the doctors," Dave replied. I was going with Abby to find out the sex of the baby today around noon. I was going to ask the doctor to put the sex of the baby in an envelope and give it to Abby so that way Dave and I could find out together. We ate our breakfast and while Dave went to get ready I did the dishes and was waiting for him by the door reading a book when he finally came back down.

"Hey I was thinking we should get a bigger house," Dave said as I looked up from my book.

"Why? This one is perfectly fine," I responded with as I put my book in my purse and stood up.
