   It had been no secret that Calum was taking a break off of social media. He rarely took part in interviews with the band anymore in fear of exposing himself. It hurt to see many fans disappointed in his sudden disappearance. But he couldn't risk being outed. His baby deserved some form of privacy even if it wasn't born yet. And a part of him just wanted to enjoy his pregnancy without millions of people knowing and critiquing him. The thought of being exposed like that to the whole world sent chills down his spine. And at some point fans were going to figure out the truth as much as he hated thinking about it. There was no denying he looked more "plump" as Michael would say. From his face to his body. Even his hips were widening... unfortunately. Which newsflash is very painful.

"You're hurting daddy a lot lovebug." Calum internally groaned while fluffing his pillows for the fiftieth time. He felt like he's been in his third trimester since the day he found out. Nothing about this experience was easy. Every day he just felt pregnant. And no one gets it. Luke tries to be there for him, but at the end of the day, he doesn't understand. And of course, none of his friends know what it's like, so there was no point in even bothering them. He had tried talking to his mom, however, she had relatively smooth pregnancies, all textbook by medical standards so she just thinks he needs to suck it up. And maybe he should. But it hurt having no one that could relate to him. Just someone that can validate how uncomfortable he feels. And how hard the whole process has been even if he's only 4 months along.

"Mmm-fuck." The brunette slowly sat up trying to avoid as much hip pain as possible. No one ever told him that hips widen while carrying a baby. For the past 6 days, he was in excruciating pain around the hip and groin area not understanding why. Then one night he looked at the mirror only to notice that he looked bigger. To say he was sad was an understatement. He immediately called Dr. Lesner in the hopes that he was hallucinating and she could snap him back into reality. However, that wasn't happening when the words "Most men have small hips. So their hips widen slowly to accommodate for a growing baby. It's normal Calum now calm down and take an Epsom salt bath it'll help with the discomfort." Left her mouth. It was quite possibly the worst news he's received yet since becoming pregnant. Call him dramatic, but no one wants to get told that they're getting wider. Even if it's only his hips.

And once Calum was sitting he grabbed his phone and started to mindlessly scroll on Twitter. Anything to take his mind off of the pain he was feeling in his fucking pelvis. A part of him just wanted to tweet how overrated growing a baby was.

   He wanted to tell them how awful pregnancy truly is even if you do get a baby in the end. Maybe interact with a couple of fans. It's the least they deserve for being so patient with him on his hiatus. But he can't exactly tell them the truth so he decided on telling everyone he's just fat. It wasn't a total lie, he's definitely bigger, but it's not fat it's just baby.

       And like that, thousands of tweets freaking out because he finally came out of hiding to tweet something so dumb

And like that, thousands of tweets freaking out because he finally came out of hiding to tweet something so dumb. A lot of them "felt" his pain since they've gotten out of shape while being in lockdown. Others just found it funny saying "Now we know why you haven't done interviews." The replies were enough to give him some form of reassurance knowing that other people can't fit into their clothes either. Even if it's because of two completely different reasons. Before Calum could relax his little reason decided they should both pee now.
