Hero's pov
' Jo, babe, wake up, we've got a plane to catch ' i say before placing kisses all over her face. She slowly wakes up and cups my face with her hands and kisses my lips. ' Well, that's an amazing way to wake up ' she says smiling. When she walks towards the bathroom, i keep staring at her. She's wearing one of my shirts, and it hugs all of her curves perfectly. I swear to God, this girl gets prettier everyday, i just hope she realizes that too. When i hear the shower running, i pack our last things and move our suitcases to the front door. 15 minutes later i hear Jo coming downstairs. I didn't quite get a good look at her bump this morning, but i'm positive it grew overnight. ' Jo, you look gorgeous ' i say before pecking her lips. ' Hero, don't lie. I grew overnight and i look fat ' she says breaking my heart a little. How can this girl not think she looks perfect. ' Well, i think you're gorgeous, with a baby bump, so don't ever say again that you're fat or ugly, okay? ' i say and she smiles softly.

We're on our way to LAX, in a comfortable silence, holding hands. Jo breaks that silence after a few minutes by asking me something that hadn't even crossed my mind in the past few weeks. ' Hero, do you want to stay here, when she is born? Raise her in LA, or would you rather move to London, or somewhere else in America? she says almost whispering. I knit my brows in confusion by Jo not saying Australia as an option. ' Well, honestly i've never thought about where i'd want to raise our daughter, i'll leave that to you. Why'd you not say Australia though? i say in a soft tone. ' Because i don't want to be around people who'll talk you, us and this little girl down constantly. I don't want my dad to drive a wedge between us, and our small family, i love you way to much to let that happen ' Jo replies with a hint of sadness. I hate it how much Jo's dad influences our lives. I know how much love Jo has for Australia, and i think that deep down, she'd love to raise our little girl somewhere over there. I decide to not push Jo and leave it to her. ' I'm fine with where ever we go, home is where i'm with you, so you decide, okay ? ' i say in a soft tone.

We finally found our seets and sit down waiting for the plane to take off. I take Jo's hand in mine and lock her eyes with mine. I can feel how anxious she is, not only for her parents, but also for the fans. Since our flight is early morning flight ( 4:30 am ), we were lucky to not see any fans. Imagine being seen by a fan, and he or she would spread the new before we could even tell our families in person. It'll take some work to avoid the fans, but we'll be fine.

After 17 hours of flying, we finally arrive in Perth. Luckily, still no fans snapping pictures of us. Since it's night, we'll go to the hotel and meet with Jo's parents tomorrow. Her parents rather had us stay with them, but we insisted on a hotel. After a 45 minute ride we finally arrive at the hotel and check in. We take our luggage to the room and as soon as we're in there, we drop it let both of us fall on the bed.

Josephines pov
After half an hour of us laying on the bed and talking i walk over to the bathroom to take a shower and change into my Pj's. After a long relaxing shower i walk over to my suitcase to grab my Pj's. Just as i'm done changing myself i feel something inside of me. I feel it again. I instantly know what it is. Our girls first kick. I place my hand on my bump and feel a tear rolling down my cheek. Hero looks at me and rushes over to me as he sees me crying. ' Jo, baby, what's wrong ' he asks worried. ' I just felt her kick for the first time ' i choke out, still crying while taking his hand and placing it on my bump. After a few seconds i feel her kick again, and so does Hero. He gasps and i see the tears in the corner of his eyes. He locks his eyes with mine before giving me a deep and passionate kiss on my lips, never taking his hand of my bump. We lay down on our bed and i raise my shirt as i still feel our little girl kicking. Hero places both of his hand on my bump and places some kisses on it. ' I already love you so much little one, i can't wait for you to arrive, and see what you look like, i hope you look like your mom a lot, since she's the prettiest human on earth ' he whispers to my bump before placing a kiss on my lips. ' Hero, during the plane ride i started thinking about names, and there was one name that has been stuck in my head ever since we found i was pregnant ' i say in a soft tone. ' Which name Jo? ' he asks lovingly. I take a moment before i answer him and tell him the name i was thinking about. I feel tears well up and i can see the tears in Hero's eyes too. ' I love it Jo, i absolutely love it ' he says before kissing me again. I fall asleep that night knowing that in a few months we will have our daughter, and i'll have a family with the people i love the most.
