"happy birthday!" i'm woken up by ethan and zack carrying a cake into my room.

"it's too early" i groan, covering my face with a pillow.

"it's almost 4pm" zack states.

"i was up all night with this little one kicking!" i complain as i sit up in bed, revealing my bump.

"are you okay?" ethan asks concerned.

"i'm fine. she's just getting bigger and needs to stretch" i shrug.

i'm 8 months pregnant and my bump is huge. i had a scan a few months ago and found out i was having a baby girl.

we also found a really nice couple to adopt her. they found it hard trying to adopt as they're both women but i couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to raise my daughter-

-is she my daughter?

"are you going to blow out your candles or not?" zack pulls me away from my thoughts.

"oh yeah" i smile.

"make a wish" ethan reminds me, and i do.

i wish for a life full of love and happiness for my little girl.

my eyes meet ethan's as i look up from the cake and i quickly make a second wish.

that he'll stay safe and happy for a long time, because as long as he is, i'll be okay.

"thank you" i pull the both of them into a hug.

"what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" ethan asks me.

"nothing really"

"come on, you're only 19 once" zack smirks.

"and i'm carrying a little human in me, i'm tired!" i retort.

"fine. what about dinner? here in our house" zack suggests.

"isn't that what we do every night?" i laugh.

"no, we'll have grayson and bonnie over" he says.

"noah too" ethan adds and i look at him confused, he hates noah. "noah is your friend, he should be here"

"that sounds really good" i nod with a hand on my bump, "can we order chinese?"

"whatever you want" zack nods.

ethan and i watch a movie until grayson, bonnie and noah arrive.

being pregnant has made me so lazy. i sleep in until late in the day, i never want to leave the house and i spend all day eating.

"honey i'm home!" grayson yells coming into my house followed by bonnie and noah.

"hey!" i smile meeting them in the hall, "thanks for coming over" i pull them all into hugs.

i apologised to bonnie for how i reacted over the changrettas. i realised what happened to me wasn't her fault and we've been great since.

"i'll order the chinese" zack states.

"i'm starving" i groan.
