Disclaimer: I don't own Dan/Phil nor anyone associated with them
Hey everyone, so this is the next chapter of And Baby Makes three, and for clarification, Dan is in his 5th month, so when said the baby is coming soon, it means that there will be a bit of a timeskip, and that it will come soon
"No, not anymore." Said Phil, Dan smiled and kissed him once more.
"Good." Said Dan, as he hugged Phil, who hugged him closely as well and the two fell asleep in each other's arms that night. The next day, after eating breakfast, they were in the new flat with Chris and PJ helping to make things and unpack, bring in boxes. Whilst Cat and Sophie were painting the baby's nursery blue, for the sky as they'd be adding the "grass" and Winnie the Pooh character in later. Dan meanwhile was out shopping, for stuffed animals, and random little things to add to the nursery. After being satisfied with his purchase, he made his way back to the flat wincing as a sharp pain hit his hip area.
He recalled Dr. Mills saying the hips would start moving soon, he had no idea it would hurt that much though. He sighed and closed his eyes tightly. The Youtuber leaned against a wall, and rubbed his hip. He was aware of the stares he was getting due to his belly, and what he was doing. The thing was though, he honestly did not care...well actually that was a lie. He was starting to get self conscious.
"Disgusting, honestly I didn't think they let them out of brothels" He heard someone say, Dan pretended to be on his phone, as a couple of women were waiting for a taxi.
"I heard that Carriers are some sort of defects, their only good for...fetishists, and dreadful things like that." Said the other woman, Dan looked down at his stomach trying to block them out. It was like how he'd told Phil, they didn't matter...they could say whatever they wanted, it didn't matter...it wasn't true. His family, friends, fans, and most of all Phil supported him. That was all that mattered.
"Hmph, honestly it could at least have the decency to not show it's disgusting face here, I bet the child is going to be all sorts of messed up. Probably going to take after its parent, and be a sex toy." Said the woman, Dan immediately looked up. They could say anything they wanted about him, but saying something about his child was a different matter.
"My daughter is not going to be messed up, she is going to have a happy home with people who love her. She's going to have the best of everything, and is going to grow up to be the best she can be. She's not going to be anything like that, and she's especially not some ignorant bigot who talks badly and judges people like some." Said Dan scathingly, immediately he hailed a taxi and rode the rest of the way back to the flat.
"And done!" Exclaimed Sophie happily, as she and Cat finished placing the characters up on the wall.
"Good for you guys, we're not even done assembling the crib yet!" Exclaimed Chris in exasperation, as he, PJ and Phil were trying to build the crib..so far they had about 30 % of it done which honestly, was not very far. They looked up, as the door slammed and footsteps could be heard.
"Dan's home...um..you guys help, I'll be back." Said Phil, handing the directions to Cat and Sophie before closing the door. He went over to the lounge, where he heard someone crying softly. Dan looked up, and immediately began to dry his tears.
"Phil hey, sorry um...someone I just thought of something yeah, silly right?" Said Dan with a small nervous chuckle. Immediately Dan got the shopping bags.
" I got all sorts of toys and stuff for her to play with, like-" He stopped, when Phil lightly cupped his face and wiped away a tear.
"Bear, what happened?" Asked Phil softly.
"Nothing, just some people being idiots...I know, I'm a hypocrite..especially since I told you to ignore those tweets months ago and..ugh, I'm so stupid I can't do anything right. "Said Dan, Phil shook his head and hugged Dan tightly, he ran a hand through Dan's hair.
" No, you're not stupid...and you do plenty right. You don't deserve whatever they said about you, ok? You're a good person who deserves to be happy more than anything. It hurts more, when someone says something to your face instead of online, because online you can just block and ignore them...you can't do that in real life. " Said Phil, Dan sighed and nodded.
"I'm sorry love, I ruin everything...you were probably having a good day and then I came along and ruined it...I'm sorry." Said Dan, Phil shook his head and kissed Dan's forehead.
" No Dan, you didn't ruin anything ok? you and our baby will always come first and foremost. "Said Phil sincerely, Dan smiled softly and nodded. Phil smiled back at him, he'd ask about what exactly these people said later when their friends were gone. He peered into the shopping bag, and chuckled as he pulled out, a small blue llama.
"Really?" He teased, Dan chuckled and shrugged.
" I couldn't resist, and look what else I got." Said Dan, as he pulled out several other plushies, as well as baby books and a few blankets as well. Phil chuckled and smiled at how happy Dan was now, they looked up when the others came out.
"Finished, so glad." Said Chris sitting down next to Dan and immediately pressing his ear lightly against Dan's stomach. "Hello little one, it's your uncle Chris, your fathers are slave drivers."
"Oh shut up Chris." Said Phil lightheartidly, as Chris chuckled and rubbed Dan's belly.
"You ok?" Said PJ, looking to Dan who smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, thanks to Phil." He replied, smiling at Phil, who smiled back at him. They stayed there and talked for the rest of the afternoon, even ordering pizza and playing video games, although Dan really couldn't play as he got stressed out over games much too much. Later, once everyone was gone, Dan went to the nursery and smiled softly as he looked at the room. He looked back, as Phil wrapped his arms around him.
"You alright Bear?" Asked Phil curiously.
" Now I am." Said Dan, as he kissed Phil who kissed him back.
"Um, Bear..can I ask...what did they say?" He asked, Dan sighed and told him everything. As he did, he sniffed and felt the hot tears sting his eyes, it hurt to know that was what people thought of him. Phil shook his head and hugged Dan tightly, and kissed him.
"Well they are wrong ok? Like I said before, you're a good person who deserves to be happy. You're not a "sex toy" like they said, you're a person, who is special, who is beautiful, who is important, who is needed, and wanted. They have absolutely no right to treat you that way, or say those awful things about you and our family. You did the right thing in sticking up for Destiny...but why didn't you stick up for yourself?" He asked. Dan shrugged in response and sighed.
"What good would that have done? They would've said those things about me and Desti. Besides I'm used to hateful comments, it was the comments directed at our baby I got mad at." He replied, and honestly Phil was kind of worried about that.
