It was March 29th. My birthday. I was seven months pregnant and we were touring in France. It was just my luck that on my 24th birthday, my boyfriend had press to do all day and a show tonight. Alessia was free until her meet and greet tonight at 5pm, so we hung around the city until then.

"Such a shame that we can't drink" She says. I smile.

"Well, you can. If I do, my baby girl won't be too happy" I say clutching my stomach.

"That's true. We need that little beauty as happy as can be" She says.

"Its so crazy to think that I'm having a baby in two months. Like, she is due exactly two months from now. I'll be a mother" I say. We were still continuing to walk down the sidewalks.

"Do you have a name?".

"No. No name, no clothes, no nothing. Touring doesn't exactly allow us to cater to a baby" I say.

"Well, maybe let me take care of that" She says. She didn't give me time to question what she meant before she asked something else. "Who do you think she'll look like?".

"I hope Shawn" I say. "His dark hair and dark eyes. And hopefully blessed with his talent".

"That would be a mighty cute baby" She says.

"Of course my baby is going to be cute" I say. She laughs and rolls her eyes. As we walked, we came across a baby store. We had to go inside of course. I went directly over to the baby clothes, while Alessia just roamed. As I was looking at onesies, I heard her shriek.

"Oh, my god! Riv, We have to get this for Shawn!" I waddle over to where she is at and find her holding up a T- Shirt that says 'Baby Daddy' on it. I smiled immediately.

"We have to ge this" I say.

"Look, you can get this one" She says and holds up a 'Baby Mama' shirt.

"I'll make Shawn wear this tonight, and I'll wear it too" I say. She grabs both of them and continues to look around.

I had never realized how much a baby needs until we walked into this store. I was overwhelmed immediately. I knew we had some time still, but we lit9had nothing expect a few little onesies fans had given us. I was appreciative, but I still needed to much more.

It was time for the show, Alessia had just finished up and wished me a happy birthday, and had the crowd do it as well. Shawn kissed me before he went out and I watched him like always.

I love looking at the expressions on the girls faces when he waved at then or hit a high note. It made me even more proud to call him mine. I swear I fell more and more in love with him every day.

Towards the end of the show he called me up to the stage with him. I didn't mind going, but I was so huge and insecure that I hated to go in front of all the fans, but for him I would do anything.

"Give it up for my two girls" He says as I waddle on stage. I wave at the crowd. "Well, as Alessia said earlier, it's this beautiful girls birthday today, so let's make some noise for her!". The crowd ignites with cheers all around. He hugs me tightly then let's me leave. He finished the show with so much energy. I knew that was because he couldn't wait to get off stage to me. I was so in love with him, and I knew he felt the same.
