am so sorry about last night, it’s just that was the last thing I was expecting, and I pan icked, he pauses, ‘The thought of having to be a good example for a kid, of them looking up to me, it scares me, it’s a lot of pressure,’ he admits.

‘I know it is, but you’ve got about eight months to figure it out and probably about another ten years when you can make a lot of mistakes and still get away with it, I joke, and he rolls his eyes at me. I move towards him and reach up on my tiptoes to softly kiss his tempting lips.

‘Plus, you’re not doing it alone, you’ve got me, I shrug, and he grins down at me, ‘We‘ve got this, I tell him.

“I love you, he reaches down and lifts me up before I can reply, much to my surprise.

‘Let’s get you back to bed Mummy, wouldn’t want you on your feet for too long, he jokes, winking at me.

‘Oh dear God, do not call me that,’ I reply, bursting out laughing.

“Why? I think I’m gonna quite like you calling me Daddy, he wiggles his eyebrows at me, and I cringe in horror.

‘Ew, that’s nasty. I complain as he marches up the stairs to my bedroom, ‘Besides, I’m not even tired, I’ve just woken up,’ I tell him.

Why did I agree to a baby shower? I’m only in my second trimester.

I know exactly why, because today we‘re revealing the gender of our baby. The doctor identified it last week, Aria spoke to her and made the arrangements. Up until now, Jayce and I have been in the dark about the sex of our own child.

I excuse myself from my group of friends, as wonderful as they are, I’m not used to being the center of attention and this is a little uncomfortable. I retreat to the bar, ordering myself a non-alcoholic drink, un fortunately. Right now I could do with some liquid courage.

I’m glad everything worked out for you two, congratulations by the way, what are you hoping for?’ He asks and I consider it for a moment.

‘He’ll hate it if it’s a girl, it’s his worst nightmare, wanting to protect her from every male alive, he replies and I realize that he’s right, Jayce will be the most protective Dad ever.
