"Daddy, daddy!!!" Mason shouted shaking me awake. "What?" I replied sleepily. "It my birday!" He said missing out letters. "My little man is three" I said waking up more and tickling him. "Hey, where's your mommy?" I asked him. He pointed to the door which didn't really help but soon I heard her shouting for us to come downstairs "come on then boys, present time" she shouted. I got up and lifted mason into my arms before going down the stairs. We went into the dining area and Liza had masons cake set up with candles in it and all of his presents around "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday dear mace happy birthday to you" we sung. He smiled as we sang it and Liza took him into her arms kissing his cheek before he blew out his candles. We then et him open all of his presents. We didn't go too overboard but he did have quite a few. We got him a little tricycle and then loads of toys he probably didn't need.
After he had opened them all, which took a pretty long time, we ate breakfast. Liza made pancakes with gummy bears in them and they were so good. We ate together before getting dressed for today. Liza was wearing some jeans and a shirt that showed off her cute baby bump, I was wearing black jeans and a black polo shirt and mason was wearing a white shirt and some jeans which looked super cute on him.
Mason was playing in his room whilst Liza was getting ready for today. We were having a little party with some of our friends and their kids for masons birthday. I walked into our bedroom to see liza sitting at her vanity table doing her makeup "Babe you look good" I said standing leaning against the vanity looking at her. "Thanks" she replied taking her hair out of a bun and brushing it so her curls stood out. " hey have you get up the food table yet?" Liza asked me. "Uh, not yet but I'll do it now" I said standing up again and waking to the door. "Daviddd" She said giving me the look of I'm annoyed at you but I love you too much to show it properly. "I'm sorry babe, I promise I'll do it now" I said walking out of the room. I walked downstairs and set up the dining room table the way liza wanted it, I set all the food that wasn't going to be cooked down and put our drinks. I grabbed mace and then we went back into Lizas room. "Did you do it?" She asked as she was sitting on the bed in her phone with one hand rested on her 22 week baby bump. "Yup, and damn babe look at that baby bump" I said admiring my two favorite girls. She smiled and opened out her arms for me, putting down her phone. I put mace down at Lizas side before pulling her into my torso as she was sitting down on the bed "I'm so short, I legit only come up to your torso" she said laughing. "Is It a nice view down there?" I asked laughing. "Perfect" she replied placing her lips onto my torso and laughing. I laughed also and ran my hands through her perfect curly hair. "People will be arriving soon" she said looking relaxed as I ran my fingers through her her. "I know but I could seriously stay here forever running my fingers through your amazing hair" I said to her. "I could stay here and let you" she replied. I stopped and kissed her before we went downstairs to wait for people to arrive. Our families were coming as well as Kristen, Scott, Keira, Jason, wyatt, Charley, Trisha, Josh, Paige and belle. We were super excited as masons party is going to be the cutest and funest thing. We walked downstairs, hand in hand and waited on the couch snuggled up to each other. Someone knocked on the door and Liza got up to answer. I followed and balanced mason on my hip. She opened the door to reveal my parents and siblings "hey!" I said hugging them as they came in and giving mason to Ester so she could play with him and keep him entertained. Liza also hugged my parents before we went through to the living room.

"I can't believe that our first grandson is three!" David's mom said looking excited "I can't believe my kid is three, I definitely didn't expect to have a three year old at this time in my life" David said. "But its a good thing right" I asked as I laced my fingers into his. "Most of the time" he replied. I don't know if it was my crazy pregnancy hormones or what but that comment just made me super upset. What does he mean? Does he not actually enjoy being a dad? I was snapped out of my thoughts by the doorbell ringing yet again. "I'll get it" i said to David "Okay Babe" he replied kissing my head. I got up and walked to the door trying to put myself in a better mood. I opened the door to see my mom standing there. "Hey mom" I said hugging her "Wait where's dad?" I asked looking around. "I'm sorry darling he couldn't come, work" she said looking sad. "Oh, well I'm sure we can send him lots of pictures" I replied trying to be happy. She nodded and hugged me again before we went into the living room with David's family. We sat and talked for a while, I just stayed quiet unless someone asked me something. David noticed and mouthed "are you okay?" To me. I nodded Fakely before going to cook some of the food with my mom. "Liza you're very quiet" my mom said as we were stood in the kitchen. A tear rolled down my cheek as she pulled me into a hug. "Liza what's wrong?" She asked me. "David" I managed to say through tears. "What has he done?" My mom asked protectively. "When I asked him if mace and the baby were a good thing to him and he said sometimes and he didn't even sound bothered about it, what if he's doesn't even want mason and our little girl" I sobbed. "Okay Liza I know this seems like a big deal but I think it's just pregnancy hormones" my mom said. I looked at her feeling completely pathetic. "It's okay darling, I know being pregnant makes everything seem way bigger of a deal than it is but I promise you just have to overlook them, I'm sure David didn't mean anything bad" she explained to me "I'm so freaking pathetic" I said crying Even more. "No you're not you're pregnant, it's your excuse" my mom said laughing a little at me. David walked in and immediately looked concerned "woah babe what's up?" He asked immediately rushing to me and wrapping my arms around me. "I'm just being pathetic" I said. "Tell me" he said pushing some hair out of my face "well I kind of just took something you said too much to heart and I'm pregnant and I can't help it" I replied. "What did I say?" He asked looking a little mad at himself. "Just when I asked if our kids were a good thing you said most of the time and I took it the wrong way" I replied. "I totally get it liza, I just meant the late nights and stuff were the negative side but I love you and our babies the most in the world and I would never swap you three for anything, I'm sorry" he said to me. I nodded and wiped my tears that had ruined my make up before hugging and kissing him and going upstairs to sort out my makeup.

I feel so shit for making Liza stressed. I hugged and kissed her before she went upstairs to fix her makeup and I decided to help her mom do the cooking. "I really feel bad for saying that to her" I said as I put some stuff in the oven. "I promise you it's okay, her hormones are really all over the place so she will probably take little things like that as a big deal, don't worry about it" her mom told me. I nodded before setting a timer on my phone for the food and went through to the playroom. I stood in the doorway for a while, watching mason play with Toby's, they were the cutest as Toby was so good with mason. It's crazy how mason is already three and Toby is 13, it completely blows my mind. I felt a pain of thin arms wrap around my torso. "Hey" Liza said in a soft voice "hey baby" I replied turning round and kissing her head. "I'm sorry for overreacting" she said to me. "It's okay baby I get it, hormones are literally taking over you right now so I forgive you for any little arguments we might have and I'm also sorry in advance for anything I might accidentally go annoy you"  I said to her "it's okay baby, we have to work together" she said to me. Mason then cane over to us and Liza lifted him up and kissed his cheek. "What's that?" Mason asked pointing to lizas bump. "Mace it's your little sister, you know that" Liza said tucking him "i know" he replied laughing cheekily. "You can tell he's my son," I replied laughing.
We ate lots of food and mason opened lots of presents before we were ready to sing happy birthday to mace. Liza lit the candles and I picked up mace. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to mason happy birthday to you!" We all sang in unison "blow them out mace" I said kissing his cheek. He blew them out slowly and everyone clapped making him laugh. I hugged him before me, Liza and mace took a photo together. We ate the cake soon after and then people started to go back home. Lizas parents were staying the night but my family were staying in a hotel and then flying back out first thing tomorrow morning sadly.
We had set up the spare room so it was super nice for Lizas parents. It got late pretty quickly so we put mace to bed and then a few hours later we all went to bed. We made sure Lizas parents were settled and stuff before going to bed. I took my clothes off, leaving me in my underwear and hopped into bed. Liza had just done her nightly routine which she swears by before she got changed into her pyjamas. She took all of her clothes off leaving her in underwear "Damn babe, look at you" I said staring at my beautiful fiancée "David are you serious I'm 22 weeks pregnant, I have the worst stretch marks and ive got makeup on" she replied "I know but that's the Liza I completely love" I replied still staring at her perfect body. "Dave I think you need to put your contacts back in" she laughed. "Sleep in your underwear" I begged her. "No, I'm seriously so ugly" she replied "babe don't say that, you have our perfect little baby growing inside you and you look so good, plus I just love cuddling up to you" I said to her. She smiled and got into bed. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she snuggled into me. She rested her head on my shoulder and I kissed her cheek and then her neck. "God David your kisses are so good" she said laughing a little yet being satisfied. "Shh, your parents are gonna hear us" I said back laughing "good, they'll know I'm loved" she replied laughing also. We laughed a little before we stopped and I spoke "Liza I really do love you a lot" I said in a more serious tone "i love you too bubba" she replied resting her head back on me and relaxing into me. We soon fell asleep thinking about each other.
