"right, lets get today started," i say softly, tracing my bump with my fingers, as i rise from the bed, heading straight into the bathroom. u start running the tap, before my phone begins to ring from the bedroom. i groan, walking out of the bathroom, and grabbing my phone, and seeing shawns name flash across my screen for a facetime call.

i grin immediately, quickly swiping my finger across the screen, answering his call, whilst i walk back to the bathroom, waiting for the call to connect.

"hey hunny," shawn beams, as i put my phone down, leaning it against the mirror. "did you just wake up?"

"hey, yeah sorta," i answer back, a chuckle leaving my lips. "i need to wake up, appointments in about two hours."

"does that mean you can stay on facetime with me for three hours?" he asks, a small smirk over his lips.

"hmm, we'll see," i shoot back. "what's happening today?"

"brits later in the evening. don't have to get ready for another four hours or so? had some free time, so i'm calling you," he chuckles. "how's ave doing?"

"she's been pretty calm today, only a little bit of movement. i think she knows you're not here, because she always moves loads when you're in the same room," i answer, splashing my face with some water.

"let me talk to her, turn the volume up," he says, as i nod, wiping my hands quickly, and turning the volume up on my phone. "hey baba, i miss you," he babbles in a baby voice, making me completely melt. "you're gonna look after mommy while i'm away, aren't you pumpkin?" immediately, i feel avery kick at me, quite hard, making me almost fall over in shock. "woah, ave, calm down," shawn chuckles, as i steady myself, a small smile on my lips, as i rub my hand over my bump. "i went shopping yesterday, got some baby clothes for you sweetheart," he says, moving on his bed, so he's sitting up. "i miss you and mommy so much, but don't worry, i'll see you both so soon."

"how's everyone there? how's the crew doing?" i ask, grabbing my toothbrush, putting a little bit of toothpaste over the bristles.

"they're all good, everyone's really excited to get back on tour," shawn answers, a wide smile on his face. "we all miss you though, tours not the same without you." my heart swells, whilst i spit out my toothpaste, finishing up with my morning hygiene.

"i miss everyone so much, i haven't seen them since like, the last festival, and that was legit last year," i sigh, picking up my phone, and walking to the kitchen.

"i know, god, it seems like such a long time ago now," he says, looking reflective. "times gone by so quickly in the last six months."

"six months today," i grin, placing a hand on my bump, whilst resting my phone on the kitchen counter.

"4d scan huh?" shawn asks, a slightly saddened tone in his voice.

"i wish you were here," i mumble. "i didn't realise how hard it would be without you, you know? you're always so hopeful, and i'm here just looking and feeling like a slug."

"well, you're the most beautiful slug out there," he says to me softly. "i wish i was there too, gorgeous."

"only a couple months," i mumble again, taking out a box of oats from the cabinet. "enough about that, how's london treating you?"

"really good," he smiles tiredly. "a couple nights ago, brian and i met up with james at some pub. it was nice to catch up," he says. "he was asking about you, asking if you were keeping well."

"how is he?" i ask. "it's nice of him to ask about me, even though we haven't seen each other for a while."

"he's good, he can't wait to see ave when she's here," he says. "the fans are being really supportive to. loads have congratulated us, and some have given a few gifts and stuff," he smiles. "i'm gonna have to get another suitcase just for stuff for avery."

"you better not spoil her too much while you're in europe," i warn sarcastically, making him chuckle.

"oh hunny, we haven't even gotten to paris yet," he smiles. "i've heard about a few baby places there that are worth going to. i'm gonna buy everything for her."

"i'm never gonna be able to stop you, am i?" i ask, chuckling softly.

"no can do," he beams. "i've got you some stuff already, just wait. i'm gonna come back and it's gonna be christmas."

"ugh, shawn," i whine, making him laugh again.

"you know me, i can't resist when i walk past shops. i see something and think, holy crap my girl would love that," he grins, my heart skipping a beat at 'my girl'.

"your girl, huh?" i ask, a soft blush at my cheeks.

"just wait. i'm gonna ask you, and it's gonna be really special. when i get back though, i'm not asking you over the phone," he says sheepishly, a shy look over his features. "can't wait. 'm gonna make it special. you deserve it," he says,

making me blush wildly, a small smile coming over my lips.

"okay," i smile, my voice soft. "i can't wait."

"good," he says gently back to me, running a hand through is curls. "i can't wait till christmas."

"shawn, hunny, christmas is ages away," i chuckle, shaking my head at the crazy boy i'm falling for.

"i know, but it's gonna be just us, you know? me, you, and avery. our first christmas together," he says, his eyes lighting up. "i'm gonna take you guys to a cabin somewhere far away from the city, invite our families, have a massive christmas for avery's first. somewhere with a lake that gets iced over so we can go skating, just me and you, at like 2am, when everyone's asleep, and someone else is looking over avery."

the door rings, and i sigh, looking at my phone. "i'm gonna have to get that, hold on," i say, as shawn continues to smirk widely. "what?"

"nothing, just go answer it, it's probably something important," he grins, egging me on. i sigh, muttering a few words to myself, before waddling up to the door, unlocking it, revealing a man holding a giant bouquet of flowers, along with a copper coloured balloon reading "happy 6 months!" i grin, thanking the man, and taking the flowers and balloon, walking back to my phone, seeing shawn laughing, and grinning wildly.

"you like it?" he asks, his laughs settling into a small, loving smile.

"shawn, you're the sweetest," i say, smelling the sweet scent of red roses. "thank you so much."

"it's okay, just the best for my favourite girl," he says gently, making my heart clench with endearment.

"but why? like what's the need for flowers?" i ask, confused as to why he bought me flowers and a balloon.

"six months since the best day of my life."

"thanks so much for coming with me," i say to jasmine, meeting her in the lobby of the condo block, seeing her sitting on an armchair, smiling at me.

"no problem, jesus christ you're pregnant," she chuckles, standing up and greeting me with a hug. "you're seriously glowing anya, you look stunning."

"i feel like a slug," i whine. "but thank you anyway, when i told shawn that i felt like a slug, he said i was the prettiest slug, and now you're saying i have a glow. i feel so loved," i say sarcastically, making her laugh again. "anyway, uber's outside. let's go."

"wait, there's paparazzi outside," she says, grabbing onto my arm. "you okay to face them?"

"yeah, i'll be fine," i nod. "shawn said to just let them take pictures, and if they get too close, snap at them. he said i'll be okay, they're not too bad in toronto."

"you and shawn have been getting really close lately, are you sure that there's nothing more than just being parents between you guys?" she teases, making my cheeks heat up immediately.

"maybe," i shrug. "i don't kiss and tell."

"you kissed?" she blurts out, as i giggle, shrugging, opening up the glass door, revealing about three photographers, who eagerly snap away, making me feel slightly uncomfortable, but i quickly shake my doubts, focusing on what shawn told me to do.

"just breathe. answer questions you don't mind asking. don't look at them even when you answer, and if you don't want to say anything about avery, don't. i don't mind if you do, but it's all up to you, hunny."

"anya! how's the baby?"

"are you and shawn living together?"

"are you and shawn dating?"

"how's shawn?"

"does shawn have a girlfriend?"

"yeah, you," jasmine whispers to me, making me laugh, as we walk up to the uber, getting in the car, and slamming the door behind us. "god, don't they know what boundaries are when asking questions?"

"they're paparazzi, they don't, they're just trying to get the gossip and make the celebrity uncomfortable to give a sign of something being true," i mutter. "hi, how are you?" i ask the uber driver.

"good thank you, toronto pregnancy clinic, right?" he asks me, setting up his gps.

"yes, thank you," i respond, sighing, and sinking back into my seat, getting my phone out, seeing a missed call from shawn. i decide to facetime him instead, knowing that i'm gonna facetime he when i get to the clinic, so either way it's fine.

"hey bubs," i grin, seeing shawns face light up my phone, seeing him getting a small amount of makeup placed over his blemishes.

"hey gorgeous, are you on your way to the appointment? jasmine with you?" shawn asks, letting the makeup artist blend in some concealer.

"yeah, she's here," i say, turning the phone to jasmine, as she waves, before looking back down at her phone. "we should be there in a bit, just stay on facetime with me for a little."

"okay, but i'm gonna have to change in about twenty minutes," he says. "i'm sure it can be delayed a little though," he grins. "how were the paparazzi?"

"they were okay, didn't bother us too much. just asked some questions. don't worry, i did what you told me to do," i say to him. "i don't think it's gonna be that bad, if i'm honest."

"it it does get bad, tell me, i'll get security out to you," he says. "i want you to be as comfortable as possible."

"you two are so cute," jasmine says randomly. "date already."

"already got it planned, jas, don't worry," shawn smirks, winking at me. my cheeks blush red, as jasmine gasps again. "she'll be my girl in no time."

"no way!" she says excitedly. "i don't care, i'm gonna be your maid of honour, in like two years," she blurts out, looking straight at me.

"woah, slow down," i giggle, my cheeks heating up even more than they were, if that's remotely possible.

"hunny, i don't think we can slow down. already got a baby on the way," shawn jokes, making me chuckle softly. "hey, gerty! anyas on the phone!"

"gertys there?" i ask, looking at my phone. "shawn! put him on!"

"hey anya, how you keeping?" andrew asks, chuckling gently, whilst shawn hands him his phone.

"good thanks! how's tour looking? i'm so mad i'm missing it," i ramble. "how are you?"

"i'm great, thanks, and tours definitely getting busy. can't wait to be out there though, this tours gonna be incredible. we're gonna have to have someone facetime you every night," he chuckles. "shawns telling us you've got a scan today?"

"yeah! a 4d scan, i'm so excited," i grin. "gerty, shawn and i are gonna need to talk about the american tour as soon as avery's here."

"yes, definitely. we're already planning for a whole bus just for you and shawn, maybe a couple others, but i assure you, we're gonna make sure you and the baby are as safe and comfortable as possible. we're already getting extra security, so don't worry." he says to me, reassuring me and putting my mind at ease. "anyway, i have to go, hopefully see you soon!"

"bye gerty," i chuckle, whilst he hands the phone back to shawn, who now has his stylist messing around with his curls. "you ready, hun?"

"fuck yeah," he says. "are you there?"

"just pulling up, i can't wait," i say, the excitement rushing through me.

"let's go see our baby."
