"Will I be seeing you tomorrow?" I ask Scotty through the phone as I bounce Maria on my hip while we watch David hang up tinsel around the large staircase leading to the higher levels of the house. "You and Kristen should definitely come to the party, me and David have been planning it for a month." I roll my eyes and David glares at me from the corner of his eye.

David is a slut for his Christmas party, I've heard about last years since it happened. Ana loves watching the vlog over and over again, acting like she was there with everyone getting lit and partying. I'm hoping that an invite to the party will help her forgive me for our argument at the hospital two weeks ago. Even though it's a horrible idea to bring her into that environment, I'm out of options on what to do anymore. She won't speak to me.

"Kristen has been different lately. She's acting weird, she doesn't seem too keen on going. But I'll try my hardest to change her mind and come for awhile. It's clearly important to you." I make a pfft sound and begin making my way up the stairs and following Davi towards our bedroom.

"It's important to David." David pauses in his place and turns to me quickly, his eyes narrowed.

"We've soul bonded now, my love. What's important to me is important to you." He places a kiss on my cheek and I can hear Scotty gagging through the phone.

"I would really enjoy the company of my best friend there, Scotty." I shut the door to the bedroom and place Maria on the bed. "But I guess I'll just have to see if you make it."

"You know," David peeks his head around the corner of the bathroom once I've ended the call. "Are we sure that we want Kristen there?" He lifts an eyebrow "I love her as much as you, but you saw how she acted at dinner. Something is wrong with her and you know it, I know it, and Scotty knows it." I nod slowly and pull out my phone, my finger hovering over the call button on Kristen's contact. "I'm just happy Riley is out of our hair for right now." He appears beside me, pulling Maria into his arms. "I didn't want to have to get a restraining order against him or something."

I shake my head and dismiss the thought with a wave of my hand. "We need to include him in the baby's life." I place a hand on my stomach, the thought of a tiny human growing in my stomach still unbelievable. "I don't see any other option. What kind of parent would I be if I kept my child from its father?" I turn to him with a sad smile on my face to see his face showing the same expression.

"You're going to be an amazing mother, and I'll be here with you ever single step of the way." He pulls me into his arms and falls back on the bed.

My eyes meet Maria's and she lets out a happy giggle, her small hand coming down beside my face as she reaches for me, and in the moment I've never felt more blessed to have such a beautiful family.

"You look hot, mama." David stands in the doorway of the bedroom and looks me over, the right dress clinging to my body, my new baby bump showing only enough to make it look like I'm getting fat.

"I look like an egg." I huff and run a brush through my straight hair.

"I love your body, this body is carrying our child. You're growing another life, do you know how amazing that is? You're wonderful." He places a kiss on my cheek and sits beside me.

"Why are you being so sweet lately? It doesn't add up. What'd you do?" I lift an eyebrow.

"Nothing! I just hate that you were so stressed and I want to make sure that it doesn't happen again." He smiles sweetly. I make my way to him and take his hand in mine, before I can respond to what he said the doorbell rings out.

David quickly grabs Maria and we make our way downstairs. All of us dressed very nicely with our home decorated over the top, looking like a knock off of the Kardashian's Christmas party.

The first to arrive is some of David's YouTube friends I've never heard of. They begin to pile in and fill up our home quickly. I see multiple stars I've wished I could meet forever, and a lot that I've never heard of. The bottom level of me and David's massive home gets filled quickly, an overwhelming amount of people I do and don't know flooding into my house.

I pass an hour by lounging in the kitchen talking to one of David's friends, Tana. She seems really genuine, and like a extremely fun person to be around. Her thoughts on open relationships and love almost converting me to an open relationship. I'm no where near as passionate as her, though. Loving david is almost too much for me to handle sometimes.

Me and tanas ongoing conversation is interrupted when the doorbell rings, and me being mosey about who enters my house I turn quickly to see who is it.

Together in the doorway is Kristen and Riley, and deep down I'm not surprised to see the two stand together with disgusted looks on their face, Scotty behind them with furrowed eyebrows.

"I didn't know you were bringing a plus one." I lift an eyebrow and take my place beside David, his firm grip on my waist reassuring me slightly that Riley has no power over me at all. But him being near me makes my stomach turn and i feel like i'm going to throw up.

"You don't look too surprised." Kristen rolls her eyes.

The entire house becomes deathly silent while more and more people notice the tension between the lot of us. "I'm not. As much as I didn't want to admit it to myself, I could have guessed this." I sigh deeply. "But I don't know why you'd try to ruin David's career, you're a smart girl. Should have known it wouldn't work."

"Don't act like you're so innocent!" she shouts. "Scotty's been in love with you for months!" she motions to him behind her. Scotty stands motionless with his hands in his pockets. "He didn't hide it very well either. Ever since we met you, he's been saying your name in his sleep, calling me you, leaving me alone the second you call with another one of your irrelevant problems. You think you're all that, but what have you actually done since you've got here? Slut around and let yourself get pregnant? David can hardly handle Maria, how do you expect him to handle two babies, one of them isn't even his."

Before i can process everything she's just said i look beside scotty in the doorway to see my mother and my sister and father standing with wrapped presents and a disgusting look on their faces. my father looks weaker than he ever has, barely able to hold himself up. he looks as if his bones are going to just collapse at any moment, and that hurts me more than any drama every could. The tears start leaving my eyes as i take in his appearance.

My mother drops the present in her hand and makes her way to kristen, her thin hand gliding at a high speed across her face. Kristen's head turns quickly, a red mark appears instantly. She slowly turns to my mother, a look of hatred in her eyes.

"If you ever come into my daughters house and disrespect her again, i can guarantee it will be the last thing you do." kristen's tough face melts away and tears well in her eyes.

My father towers over Riley with a smile. "You thought you'd be able to have full custody? after we bring up this, and every other incident you're never going to see this child, ever. Now get out." Riley gives all of us sour looks and rolls his eyes before exiting the home quickly, and us and out massive amount of guests stand staring at Kristen who stands crying.

"I-I'm sorry." her eyebrows furrow together as she makes her way to scotty, who pushes her off of him. "I was just upset you don't don't love me anymore."

"Are you serious?" he looks down on her with a look of disapproval. "You are pathetic. I can't believe you would try to ruin david's career, and break up my two best friends. You are not the girl i met two years ago, that explains why i don't love you anymore."
