"So, you're going to be back in time for Kylie's birth, right?" I asked Tyler.

He zipped up his carry on backpack and smiled at me.

"It's still my kid Lex, of course I am."

"Good," I nodded. "Do you even know the gender?"

"No," He shook his head, "She wanted to be surprised."

"What about you?" I asked.

He shrugged, "I'm okay with whatever."

"How is custody going to work?"

"I'm not sure yet." He shrugged. "I really need to go okay?"

"Right," I smiled and hugged him tight. "I want you to text me when you land."

"I will." He smiled and pulled back as his phone pinged. He looked down. "My Uber is downstairs."

"Bye, Tyler." I smiled.

He kissed my cheek and smiled back.

"Bye Lex," He replied and left the flat.

"Alright, we are having a party tonight." Joe said.

"We?" I asked.

"Caspar and I," He corrected, "It's formal and for the people we manage."

"I don't have to be involved in this, do I?" I asked.

"I guess not," He shrugged.

Then when I felt a very unsettling feeling in my stomach, causing my mouth to start watering.

"Oh my god," I said and pushed past him to the bathroom.

I bent over the toilet, throwing up everything that was in my stomach. I pushed hair from my face as I let out a groan.

"What the hell?" Joe laughed.

"I think I need to go lie down." I nodded.

"How long have you been feeling sick?"

"Since about two minutes ago." I replied and flushed the toilet. I pushed myself up and tied my hair back.

I pulled open the drawer and pulled my toothbrush out.

"Okay, well you get some rest; I need to pick stuff up." Joe said.

I nodded as he left. I brushed my teeth and just as I was walking to my bedroom, someone began to bang on the door. I rushed over, pulling it open. I saw Kylie standing behind it, smiling wide.

"What..." I began but she cut me off.

She grabbed my hand and placed it on the top of her baby bump. Underneath my fingers I felt a lightly kicking from her stomach.

"They're kicking." She smiled at me.

I looked up at her and smiled slightly. I watched as hers faded.

"Sorry," She let go of my hand, "I was just really excited."

"It's okay Kylie," I nodded, "You're having a baby."

"I better get back," She pointed towards her flat.

"Alexis," I heard a voice as they wrapped their arm around my waist.

I let my tired eyes flutter open, looking over my shoulder. My eyes were met with Byron.

"Hey," I croaked.

"Joe said you threw up." He pushed hair away from my face as I flipped my body.
