"Oh, you don't know her anymore Fletcher, she is a completely different person now with these hormones of hers." I teased, holding Addison's hand as we walked out of a restaurant to be greeted by paparazzi. She shook her head as she playfully pushed me, assuring him that wasn't true. Addison had just made five months pregnant and we had laid low for too long. She finally shared the news on social media last week, causing an uproar with everyone. We had shocked all of our fans, but the support was overwhelming. We appreciated all of the blessings that were sent our way.

We had managed to avoid paparazzi, but with the news, they were all now searching for us. As always, they knew not to film if we had Jacob with us, but they were taking full advantage at the moment since it was only us two. "Well, let me take this time to congratulate you two! This is so exciting and you are glowing Addison!" He said, complimenting her.

She smiled as she thanked him, Fletcher was always so kind to us so we didn't mind stopping for a bit to speak to him. However, as we did, a bunch of fans began to come up to us as well. We took a couple of pictures and spoke to them, but I was now more protective of Addison. She was carrying my child and I would always be around to keep her safe.

As I turned on the car, I left it running to grab Addison. "Thank you all for everything, but we need to start heading out!" I said as I put my arm around her shoulder, having to pull her away before she spent her entire afternoon there. I led her inside the car as I got into the driver's seat. We watched Fletcher come up to us, both of us waving at him.

"One more questions guys! Boy or Girl??" He asked, referring to our child. Addison smiled, looking at me before she turned back to him. "We actually find out this month!!" She said with excitement, we were both eagerly waiting to find out.

Fletcher congratulated us one last time before we said our goodbyes and drove away. Addison took a deep breath as she was finally able to relax in the car with nobody hovering around us. I put my hand on her knee, giving her a light squeeze. Addison and I had been going strong these last couple of months, a lot had happened.

We had been working hard to keep her and the baby healthy. I attended each and every one of her appointments, never intending to miss one. We had made a year a couple of weeks  ago, but it felt like an eternity. I knew this girl like the back of my hand and I loved being able to wake up next to her every morning. Jacob had also turned 3 recently! We threw a party for him and completely spoiled him, wanting him to enjoy his last few months as an only child.

I was currently staying with them at Addison's home, wanting to be around her if she ever needed me. We also casually spend some nights at Sway, as I still had my room there. But Addison and I had been looking at homes for the past couple of weeks. We knew we wanted to stay in LA as we would need our army of friends and family to help with the newborn, but Addison was very particular in what she wanted and I only wanted the best for my queen.

We had an appointment later today to look at a home, one which had been Addison's favorite. Although it was a bit on the pricier side, I would commit if it was what Addison wanted. As she had to slow down on working due to the pregnancy, I had been working hard with my businesses and investments. I didn't want Addison to have to worry about the price tag for this new home of ours.

"My mom had to drop off Jacob at Mads', we can go straight there." She let me know as I redirected. We always wanted to include Jacob in looking for homes. Even though Jacob liked anything and everything, it was nice to have him there since it would also be his future home.

As we pulled up to Mads' home, we saw Josh and Jaden hanging outside. It wasn't everyday that I got to see my boys anymore, so I took advantage of it when I could. I got out of my car to help Addison and held her hand as we walked up to the home. The boys immediately jumped on me, pulling me into hugs and telling me how much they missed me.
