(AUTHOR'S WARNING: This chapter somewhat contains smut, though I am horrible at writing it. If you do not wish to read it, you may go ahead and skip the part that is bold and italicized. That is all, I hope you enjoy. x)

Jade's POV

I make my way upstairs, quickly entering the guest room, my eyes wandering over to the bed. I smiled as I saw a bundle of wavy brown hair sticking out from underneath the blanket, walking towards the bed and sitting on the edge. I then place a hand on the sleeping child's shoulder, shaking her gently.

"Jay," I mumble, "Are you hungry?"

A little girl unwraps herself from the blanket, groaning softly as she had been suddenly awoken. "I'm not hungry," she mumbles.

My lips curve into a small frown. "Are you sure? Aunt Pez made some lunch. And it's your favorite, baked casserole," I say, encouraging the little girl to get out of bed. "Besides, Doctor Jaime wants to see you later on."

The small child sits up on the large bed, balling up her fists and gently rubbing her eyes. "That's today?"

"Yes, princess. He wants to see how big you've grown!" I manage to laugh, nodding my head at her.

She shakes her head, getting out of bed and stands on her tippy toes to give me a kiss on the cheek. She inherited her height from me, and I was glad for that. I could barely manage to keep up with her when she started to crawl!

Jay then walks inside the bathroom, right about to close the door when I stand up to follow her.

"I can handle this, mummy," she mumbles, flashing me a small smile before closing the bathroom door.

I sigh, sitting back on the bed of the guest bedroom in defeat. I run my fingers over the duvet she slept in, a smile creeping onto my lips. My little girl was growing up so fast, and I needed her to stay young. She would always be my little princess.

"Liam, stop!" I squeal as the young man tickles my sides. It had been two weeks since we had become official, and we always made time for each other, even though rehearsals and vocal rests restricted us from doing much.

"What, I'm not allowed to tickle my princess?" He defends, pausing from his humorous assault as he places his hand on his chest to act hurt.

"It's just- the Judge's Houses are tomorrow, and I'm absolutely terrified. I know I wasn't placed on vocal rest, but I can't help but be cautious," I say, pushing him off of my chest gently, causing him to roll over on his small bed.

He groans softly as his body hits the mattress and turns his head to face me. "Jade, you know I love you, right?" he says.

I arch a brow at his somewhat sudden change of mood, looking at him. "Yes, I do. I love you too, Liam."

His lips curve up into a small smile as he presses a kiss to my nose. "Let's go, then." He takes my hand and sits up on the bed, helping me sit up as well.

"Where are we going?" I ask as Liam gets up from the bed, letting go of my hand to throw on a hoodie, then turning to face me.

"Follow me."

Following Liam turned out to be at a motel near the contestant's houses at midnight, where he proceeded to guide me in. We kept our heads hung low, just in case anybody spotted us. We were barely famous, but we were briefed during a training session that we were known to some people.
