Earlier today we posted the first official picture of the first ever scan I got on to social media - announcing it for all to see. Both of our phones blew up, every platform was full of comments and likes, countless congratulations and a lot of other comments, some hateful, but I didn't read them. I'm not interested about how jealous some people are so I don't bother reading them.

"I think my mum is coming tomorrow," I told Brad as I walked into the living room where he sat.

"It'll be nice to see her, I haven't seen her since Christmas," Brad smiled. I sighed and sat down next to him.

"Are you okay?" He asked, turning to face me.

"Of course... are you?" Brad sighed and then nodded, his curls bouncing up and down.

"I'm just a little bit... all over the place," Brad muttered.

"What? Why?"

"Because, Maddie, I go back on tour in just three weeks. I'll be far from you and I won't be here for you. We have a wedding to plan and a baby on the way! What if I'm still away and you go into labour?! You're by yourself and I don't like that. I'd much rather you stay with your mum or something, but you're not staying here when I'm away - not by yourself,"

"Brad, you can't say that. I know what you mean, I know how you feel. We will get through this together, okay! Yes, you may be on the other side of the world but I know, deep down, that you are still with me! I know it's stressful having to plan a wedding and to have a baby on the way, you're not the only one, Brad. I'm here for you and you are here for me,"

We looked into each other's eyes and waited for someone to say something - but we were submerged in silence.

I looked down at Brad's shaking hands and held them, trying to calm his nerves. I ran my thumb over the small scar on his right knuckle from when we had our last big argument. It saddens me that he hurt himself that day, but that's behind us now.

"We can do this, okay?" I whispered, he held my hands tight and leaned his head against mine.

"I know we can," Brad whispered back.

I smiled at him and hugged him, showing as much love as I can to him.

"Maybe everything just got to my head, I'm sorry," He blurted out.

"Don't be sorry, it's good, let it all out or it could be worse," Pip then trotted into the room and started licking Brad's face, I think she's trying to cheer him up. We both laughed at her, Brad stroking her ear as she climbed on the couch with us.

1:30am

"Daddy, can we play hide and seek?" Our beautiful brunette little girl asked, her long curly hair tied into two bunches either side of the top of her head, finished off with two small, white bows. She dressed in a white dress with little flowers all around her waist and two frilly straps going over her shoulders. She wore white pumps with tiny lace ribbons on them. She looked absolutely beautiful. She has big hazel eyes, just like her mother and brown curly hair, just like her father. She has long eyelashes and a button-like nose.

"Of course we can, sweetheart," She jumped up and down, clapping her hands with glee. Brad smiled at his little girl at her happiest, thinking to himself how he got blessed with such an amazing child and a beautiful wife - which I am proud to say is me.

"Go and hide!" Brad said to the excited little girl. She giggled before heading towards the house but she turned around and said; "No peeking, Daddy!"

Brad and I chuckled at her before she disappeared into the house, Brad started counting in his head.

"She's so happy," Brad gazed at the house, where she stood last.

"She is," I replied, also looking at where she was before she ran away.

"Well then, I better go and find that little troublemaker!" Brad got up and started to walk towards the house. I stayed sitting on the grass, on a blanket, taking everything in and thinking about how happy I am.

Everything feels perfect.

My eyes snap open to darkness. The only light was coming from the streetlights outside. I look to my left to see Brad sound asleep.

It was all a dream.

I'm kind of sad it was a dream. I wish it was real. I frowned, knowing we'll have to wait a while for that dream to come true.

Sighing, I cuddle into Brad's chest and fall asleep again.
