*5 days later*

After i talked with everybody they apologized to Kay and paid more attention to her. Seeing her smile made me smile too.

"Hey, good morning bub." I said. Bub was my new nickname for Zach.

"Good morning babe." He smiled.

"At 3 pm my first song comes out!" I squealed.

"I'm so proud of you." He gave me a soft kiss.

I got out of bed. I haven't been paying attention to my belly the past 5 days so when i looked at it my eyes widened. Jeez i'm getting big.

"Is it just me or is my belly growing twice as fast as the last time i was pregnant?" I turned around facing Zach.

"Well, we are expecting twins." He chuckled.

I took a shower and put on a '1/5 Herron' jersey. Gotta support my boyfriend y'know. With white shorts. I tugged the jersey into the shorts and put my hair in a messy bun. I applied some make-up and went downstairs to eat something. When i walked out of the room Zach was holding his phone almost in my face.

"What are you doing?" I chuckled.

"Just go downstairs." He said.

I walked down the stairs with Zach following me, still filming. I walked into the living room and saw balloons. Every balloon was in the shape of a letter. It said "like that". I admired the decorated living room.

"Go to the kitchen." Jonah said and i followed him to the kitchen.

On the counter i saw all kinds of food. And i saw a cake with "like that" written on it.

Tears filled my eyes. I turned around facing Zach and his phone. I gave him a quick hug and turned around to face the rest. I was speechless and just hugged all of them tight.

After i hugged Kay she whispered something in my ear.

"Your welcome." She chuckled.

"This was your idea?" I asked her and she nodded. I gave her another hug.

Suddenly we heard someone knock on the door.

Zach opened it and closed it immediately.

"Oh my god." He mumbled and opened the door again.

"Thank you for inviting me Zach." Sara walked in and kissed Zach on the cheek.

"What?!" I looked at Zach.

"I didn't invite her." He quickly walked towards me.

"Oh yes he did." Sara walked to Zach and grabbed his hand. Zach pulled his hand out of her grip and tried to grab mine.

"I can't believe this." I ran to my room. The girls followed me.

"Do you believe he actually invited her? I mean, it's Sara. She loves playing games." Angi said.

Zach walked into the room.

"Alexia i promise i didn't invite her." He said.

Before i could respond someone walked into the room.

"I did." It was Aliyah.

"Aliyah?! What are you doing here?!" Kay asked.

"Oh... Kay, you're still alive." She said.

"Ok, it's time for you to leave." Gabbie said and hugged Kay.

Tate and Angi pushed her out of the room.

"Why do they keep coming back?" I asked.

We all went downstairs and saw Aliyah get pushed out of the house with Sara.

When they were gone nobody knew what to say or do.

--------

It was 2:45pm and everybody was just hanging around doing their thing.

My song is coming out in 15 minutes. I will not let Sara and Aliyah ruin this day for me.

I was in my room with Zach working on my song. Zach was sitting on the bed with his phone. I was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room with his guitar on my lap.

This love is love.
No need to run, we got nothing to hide.
This love is love.
It might be cold but i'm burning inside.
This love is love.
We might be young, we might be blind.
But we got fire to light the night.
Fire to light the night.
This love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love.
This love is love, is love, is love, is love, is love.

When i was done singing that part it was 2:54pm. I put the guitar next to the chair and put the paper on the desk. I stood up and went downstairs, Zach followed me.

The rest was already in the living room.

When there were only 10 seconds left everybody started counting,

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!"

I connected my phone to the speakers Daniel put in the living room. I went to spotify and played 'like that'.

My phone blew up, especially instagram. People tagged me in posts with a screenshot of spotify. I got tagged in stories. I posted a picture with the caption "Like That out now!" The comments blew up with people telling that the song is amazing.

"I'm so proud of you." The song finished and Zach hugged me from behind. He kissed my cheek multiple times. I turned around and kissed him on the lips.

"Get a roooommm!" We heard Daniel say from the other side of the room.

"Shut up." I chuckled.

The rest of the day/night we all talked and after a while Zach, Gabbie, Jack and i were the only ones left.

"I'm tired." I yawned.

"Let's go to bed." Zach grabbed my hand. We stood up and walked to our room.

"Good night." I gave Zach a kiss on the lips.

"Good night." He replied.

After a while we heard some noises. They came from Daniel's room.

Zach and i stood up and walked out of our room.

Jack and Gabbie were standing at their door and so were kay, Christina, Corbyn, Jonah and Tate.

We exchanged looks and silently laughed. We were all thinking the same. Daniel and Angi were doing it.

We quickly went back into our rooms before we bursted into laughing.

When we were back in bed Zach stared at me.

"Not gonna happen." I pointed at my belly. He rolled his eyes.

I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and we drifted off to sleep.
