I'm so exhausted.... I'm sat in Harvey's home office going over portfolios of people who are able to look after my company while I'm on maternity leave. Harvey is in court today he has a big case that's really been stressing him out.

I look over at the time and decide i should probably cook dinner., heading into the kitchen I keep placing my hand over my stomach it's like I'm making sure my baby is still there. I have so much anxiety over this pregnancy because of last time but I know harvey would never ever do that to me. We have decided to keep it a secret then throw a little party and tell everyone important to us. We told me dad after the scan on FaceTime, he was so happy,

I look in the fridge and realise there's practically nothing here.
"Looks like we are off to the shops" I spoke to my unborn child. I popped my shoes on and jumped in my car. I get to where I want to be and I head inside not having any idea on what to actually make. I'm desperately trying to think of what Harvey would like to eat, I decide on steak and chips, and soon I'm home.

I'm dancing around the kitchen listening to some music singing as I go just making my food minding my own business when I spin around I stop dead in my tracks when I notice my boyfriend sat at the kitchen counter smiling like a Cheshire Cat

"Hey" I was trying to hold in my smirk but it was no use we both burst into fits of laughter, I remembered I have food cooking I ran over and kissed Harvey before returning back to the oven, pulling everything out and making sure everything is cooked perfectly,

"How was your case?" I asked him as I was placing the food onto plates. I listened intently and he explained everything from his day, I couldn't help but smile at how annoyed he was but you could feel the passion that drives him,

"And what about you? How was your day?" He asked and kissed my cheek as I placed his food in front of him.
"It's been okay I'm still struggling with finding someone to look after the company, I just don't want to be so occupied with work that I don't focus on our baby and our family, I know to seems stupid and I could still do paperwork and things but I need to be home. And focused" I sighed it's really stressing me out and I know I still have 5 months left but there's a lot to do.

"It's ok babe don't worry, I will help you, everyone will help you, I can ask Donna to look she has some of the best connections in the city" he placed his hand on my leg and I couldn't be more grateful for this man. He has stuck by me through thick and thin and I couldn't as for anyone better to start a family with.
