no more secrets

Things with Tom were changing, as they always were. But you were feeling confident that things were changing for the better. You'd thought that side of Tom that came out when you found out you were pregnant was a lot. But as it turned out, the boyfriend side plus the fatherly side together was even more. Every second that he wasn't filming was spent at your side, doing whatever you needed. If he was busy, he made sure that someone was always available if you needed something. It made you happy to see that Tom was already such a great dad, and he was already being a great boyfriend.

Adjusting to being a couple was odd for a little bit for the two of you. It was awkward and clumsy at first, just like the kissing. The two of you had more or less already behaved like a couple, especially since you got pregnant, but it was odd calling each other cute names and giving kisses any time. Only at first, though. After the initial awkwardness, it was so nice to give Tom a kiss goodbye in the morning, to fall asleep in his arms, and you definitely weren't complaining about the sex.

When you called to tell your mom that you and Tom were together, she lost it. She was immediately yelling and laughing, bragging about how she just knew the two of you would end up together. All of her commotion brought your dad to the phone, and you could tell he was just as excited as your mom, even though he wasn't reacting in the same way.

Tom, on the other hand, had neglected to mention your relationship to his family. He could be a forgetful dipshit that way. His family didn't find out until they were visiting on set. You were still staying with Tom in his hotel room, so you joined the Hollands on set.

Nikki was busy rubbing your stomach (something you'd gotten used to a lot of people doing recently) and cooing about her grandchild and how great it all was when they called for Tom to come back to set. Tom gave you a grin and leaned in to press a kiss to your lips before quickly running away.

His whole family gave you a shocked look as Tom went back to set. Your face got hot as they all stared at you, and it was silent for a few moments before Nikki spoke up, "Are you and Tom together?"

You nodded slowly, glancing at each of their faces, "Uh, yeah. He didn't tell you?" You thought that they were just playing it cool around you. But no, Tom had just forgotten to mention it.

Sam laughed and shook his head, "Nah, he's just a dumb ass."

Nikki frowned and swatted at her son, before turning to you. Her face lit up, and you could see where Tom got his bright smile. "Well, congratulations! We figured it'd only be a matter of time before it happened. I'm happy for the two of you." You smiled and returned the hug she was giving you, grateful for their positive reactions.

Anyway, the fact that the two of you had gotten such positive reactions about your relationship was comforting. Because you were in your second trimester, your baby was healthy, and it was getting harder and harder to hide your growing tummy, you and Tom decided together that it was time to reveal it to the public.

You went back and forth with Tom, arguing about the best way to do it. Eventually, you decided that the best way to do it was just to put out a simple post on social media and leave it at that. You were nervous to see how things would go, but you were ready to be able to go out in public without worrying about being found out. The picture Tom put on instagram was actually one that Nikki had just happened to take of the two of you in his trailer. You'd gone to his trailer for a bit to rest and he came back to find you asleep on the couch, so he joined you for a quick nap. When Nikki came looking for him, she found the two of you asleep together and took the picture. In the picture, you were curled up against Tom, and both of your hands were resting on your stomach as you slept.

The picture blew up immediately, and it was everywhere on social media. Tom didn't have to tag you for people to realize that it was you in the picture. There were rumors swirling around right away, but you knew that that was going to happen, so you didn't let it bother you. For the most part, everybody was really supportive - leaving nice comments and congratulations for the two of you. There were, of course, also a fair share of nasty comments. You'd tried not to pay attention, but it was hard to avoid them altogether. Tom did his best to delete all the hate and block the people who were nasty.

At the end of the day, both you and Tom tweeted out your thanks for all of the support you'd received and then put your phones away for the rest of the night. You wanted to focus on each other, without any disturbances. It was still kind of weird to get into bed with Tom, with intentions of giving soft kisses and cuddles until you fell asleep, but it had quickly become the best part of your day.

Wearing only one of Tom's shirts (which were now fitting a little more tightly) and a pair of underwear, you crawled into the bed and laid on your back, waiting for your boyfriend. You watched as Tom walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but his boxers, and you were brought back to the moment not too long ago when Tom had finally asked you to be his. Though you would never get yourself to admit it, you had wanted something more with Tom, so when he asked, you were over the moon.

Tom shook his head, water droplets flying everywhere as he got into bed with you. Some of the drops landed on you and you whined, pulling the covers over your head, "Tom!"

He laughed, wedging his way underneath the covers with you, pressing a kiss to your cheek. "Sorry, my love."

You huffed, slowly turning to face Tom, pushing your lips out in a pout. "I know you're not sorry, you div."

Tom grinned and shrugged his shoulders, "You're right, I'm not." He leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to your pouted lips, which made you smile.

The covers were pulled over your heads, your faces just inches away from each other. It was dark and hot under the blankets, but you didn't mind. You gave Tom a series of quick pecks to his lips, as his hand found its way to your tummy. His hand slipped under the shirt you were wearing to rest against your skin.

You looked into Tom's eyes, biting back a smile. His touch was always light as a feather when it came to your baby bump; his fingers were dancing across your skin so lightly. Your baby always loved Tom's voice and his touch, and you felt flutters and kicks as Tom touched you. Tom's voice was a whisper, "Our baby butterfly isn't our secret anymore."

Tom's hand stopped and you rested your palm over his hand. You let out a soft hum, leaning in a little bit more so your nose nudged against his, "Are you ready for this?"

Tom gave you his heart-warming smile and he nodded, lifting his pinkie up to you. Your pinkie wrapped around his and you both leaned in to give the other's pinkie a kiss. "Ready."
