It didn't take me too long to start showing that pregnancy bump. I was three months now, and I weren't as big as what most people would be, which worried me a little bit. We were due to have a scan done the next day, and I was just glad that I wasn't as big as what some people were. I still couldn't deny my worry about whether the Baby would be too small or whatever.

I got up and had a shower, leaving Rob in bed, after a party the night before with the Girls. I had been very strict in the fact that I refused to drink nothing but tap water, which I thought was right. I couldn't bear to have absolutely anything that may hurt this Baby.

Rob on the other hand, ended up getting quite drunk on a few beers, but it didn't bother me. Both him and Kellan were drunk and he wasn't the one carrying this baby, I was, so he didn't need to worry about getting drunk, or what he ate, what he drank.

I walked back into the bedroom to find him as awake as he was before, but looking better after he had taken a tablet for his headache. Or should that be hangover? I was pretty sure that be hangover, and there was a different.

A Headache deserved lots of Tender Loving Care. A hangover was just your fault for drinking in the first place.

I hadn't been sick yet either which was also worrying me. I hated morning sickness, but I still didn't want this Baby to be wrong, or ill or whatever.

I rubbed my small baby bump gently as I looked into my cupboard for something to wear today. It was getting harder and harder with my small yet growing belly, but for now, it was okay and that's what I would worry about.

''How are you feeling today love?'' He asked me after I pulled out a black dress with pretty blue flowers decorated over it. I was sure that this wouldn't make me look too fat, which was what I was heading for. I didn't want to look fat for a while yet.

''Quite good actually. Still no sickness, which worries me.''

''Your Mum already told you.'' He replied with a heavy sigh. He had a point; we had been over this for a while. ''You might be just one of these people that wont get sick very much while you're pregnant-''

''-Yes, but I haven't been sick at all yet, have I Rob? What if something is wrong with our Baby, what if its God's way of getting revenge on me for not wanting this Baby in the first place?'' I asked him unsure, because I was ready to think anything right now.

He sighed again. ''Charlie, don't be silly. It's normal for some Women not to have morning sickness when they're pregnant. Even Lizzie told you that she had a friend who hadn't experienced any bit of morning sickness.''

Ah yes, Lizzie. His Sister's Lizzie and Victoria were the only one's that knew about this pregnancy so far, though that was bound too soon change. I gulped as I figured that I would have to tell his Parents soon. God, something to look forward to or what!

''Yeah, but why do I have to be different for?'' I whined, not sure what I wanted exactly. I just wanted a normal, straightforward pregnancy despite the pain and whinging that I had been doing about not wanting morning sickness and stuff.

He chuckled in response to that. ''Yesterday you were talking about not wanting morning sickness and-''

''-I just want a normal pregnancy. Is that so much to ask for? I just want this Baby to be okay, and to stop fucking worrying me all the time!''

''Er love…I think this Baby is going to worry you all the time, born or not.'' Rob reminded me as innocently as he could. I sighed, knowing that he was right. I was a worrier, so I was bound to do nothing but worry about this Baby.

I put on my dress, but I wasn't happy. I twirled myself in the mirror whilst Rob played his guitar in bed, not taking any notice of my panicking. I felt so fat, even though it was probably just me, and that really it was probably nothing there.

''Rob, do I look fat to you?'' I asked him curiously, interrupting his guitar playing as I studied myself some more in the long mirror in our room. He turned and took me in, a slight smile on his face.

''No…you do look a little pregnant-''

''-THAT'S THE SAME THING! FAT AND PREGNANT IS THE SAME THING. SO IN OTHER WORDS I LOOK FAT, THAT'S JUST FUCKING GREAT!'' I interrupted him furiously.

I don't know what came over me, and by the look of shock on Rob's face; neither did he. I threw myself onto the side of the bed, and cried, but…I didn't even know why I was crying for. It felt pretty much like hormones to me, but I couldn't be too sure.

It just felt like I was fat…and ugly…and more fat…and more ugly. And Rob hadn't said something that truly made me grin and make me feel great about myself either. I heard Rob put his guitar back down over my loud sobs.

''If you let me finish for once,'' Rob started in a quiet, gentle voice. ''You do look a little bit pregnant, but not too much so. This Baby is going to grow inside of you every single day whether you like it or not Charlie. And yes, you are going to gain weight, and yes, you will probably have stretch marks and-''

''-Oh thank you very much for making me feel so much fucking better-''

''-But every single day you will get more beautiful. Even now…you have a glow about you, a happy glow. Your face…you looked so happy a moment ago, despite how awful you might feel down the line-''

''-Oh so great now you're saying I'm not even beautiful-''

''-AND! You are beautiful, you always have been. And if you let me finish, then you will realise just how much I bloody love you, and think that you are absolutely stunning in every single way; stretch marks or not. That's not going to fucking change anything because Charlie, I've always seen you as stunning. I've always thought that you were absolutely beautiful in every single way.'' He promised me, as my sobs slowly started to die down.

''Oh,'' I replied, not really knowing what else to say after my embarrassing breakdown. He chuckled quietly in response, tucking a strand of my hair out of my face.

''I love you Charlie.''

''I love you Rob.'' I replied because it was true. I looked up and my eyed found his, and he smiled in response, gently rubbing away the strange moisture stinging in my eyes. I blushed in response, making him laugh again and kiss my forehead gently.

We walked downstairs then, to go and get breakfast, hand in hand, and with me still trying to keep my head up and not cry. I was more than sure now that it was definitely the Baby hormones behind all this.

But I still had breakfast to think of and Rob's promises to cook me a yummy fry-up, complete with all the vegetarian sausage and bacon of course was ringing in my ear. Having to eat for two was really showing through my stomach's call for food.

I had decided to stick to vegetarian food through my pregnancy although that probably wasn't a good idea. I made up for it by having lots of fruit, vegetables and organic yoghurts like I was supposed to, but the thought of eating meat again was too much.

I hadn't eaten meat in six years at least, and I was a very strict vegetarian when it came to not eating meat. I'd prefer to let it be my Baby's choice when it was born to have meat. The thought of me eating it didn't particularly please me.

''And its healthier being vegetarian anyway.'' I told Rob as we walked into the kitchen, explaining to him. ''There are so many dishes that I hadn't discovered when I eat meat ages ago. Like chick peas with pasta, which is nice. Cous-Cous, is yummy, and vegetable stir fry's are delicious.'' I explained.

He listened carefully as he cooked our breakfast, grinning at the cooking pan in response. ''That is true. And I cant blame you for not choosing to eat meat whilst you're pregnant even though you're supposed to. Because you eat lots of vegetables and fruits anyway and all the other things that you are supposed to.''

''And I'm even eating a little bit of fish, even though I cant stand eating it. I never used to eat it as long as I didn't have to before.'' I added, grimacing as I mentioned the term fish. ''I wouldn't have ever been able to eat fish raw…bleh!'' I added, making Rob laugh.

He left our breakfast cooking, and walked up to me, wrapping his arms around me as I stood, reading from a book that we had brought a few days ago about what to eat whilst you're pregnant. There was lots of choices to make for lots of meals to choose from.

I smiled in response to Rob's arms wrapped around me. ''Well…that was a surprise…a new surprise though.'' I added quickly, kissing him on the lips as he reached for me. He grinned in response, holding me to him.

''Hmm, I just had the urge to kiss you.'' He admitted, making me laugh in response. He pulled away then, and rested one of his hands on my ever-growing belly. However as he started to talk…a few things happened.

''I'll be so happy when you give birth to this Baby-'' As he spoke, the kitchen door opened, and walking in was his Parents, and as soon as they had heard him say, their eyes widened in shock, looking to us for answers.

Rob dropped his hand straight away, gulping in shock, and I kept my eyes on the floor, blushing like crazy because I knew they had heard exactly what he had said.

''Is-is it true…you're really pregnant?'' Rob's Mum asked me in shock. I forced myself to look back up to them, and managed a nod of my head. I watched them both as they took in, though his Dad looked like he didn't know truly where to look.

His Mum on the other hand looked as though she was just about to burst with pride, which was a good sign…right?

''Well, it's a good job that I'm here then.'' His Mum stated, and Rob sighed besides me. I ignored him, and continued to watch her in confusion. ''I hope that my Son is looking after you alright.'' She threw Rob a glare after she started walking forward, though I was just about spluttering in shock internally.

''Now you need to sit down and drink plenty of water. What is Rob cooking you?'' She asked me curiously, turning her head to look at what he was making for our breakfast whilst Rob's Dad stepped into the room, smiling apologetically at me.

I smiled back unbothered about the attention she was giving me as she sat me down at our tall, kitchen table with the kitchen sides. ''Urm…a fry-up with tomatoes, hash browns, mushrooms, and vegetarian sausages and bacon.''

As soon as I had mentioned vegetarian, she gasped in shock, making me look at her confused. ''Why are you eating vegetarian food for? It is very important for you to have lots of meat whilst you're pregnant.'' She warned me.

''Well I know, but…I'm a vegetarian. I cant stand eating meat after not having it for so long.'' I admitted, grimacing as I thought about it. ''But I have a book here which helps me decide on what I should be eating. Obviously I should eat plenty of vegetables and fruit to make up for the lack of protein, and I can also have a choice of fish to eat to make it up for it too.'' I told her, watching her smile in response.

''Oh, I'm so happy for you both! My Daughter in Law is pregnant, and I know that you're going to make a wonderful Mum!'' She beamed, hugging me to her. I smiled in response, trying not to get teary eyed.

''That's great, but er…do you mind letting me go please, before I cry? These pregnancy hormones are driving me mad at the minute.'' I admitted sheepishly. She laughed with me, letting me go instantly and smiling apologizing at me.

''Oh I'm sorry, how un-thoughtful of me!'' She apologized, taking my hands in hers as she comforted me. ''So how is the pregnancy going? What are you…three months?'' She asked me curiously.

''Yeah; three months.'' I replied, because it was exactly three months.

''Have you had any morning sickness or anything yet?''

''Urm not yet, but its making me a little worried actually.''

''Oh really? That is strange, maybe you should go and see the Doctor-''

''Claire honestly. Let the Girl sit down and breathe for a minute. She doesn't need your constant questioning.'' I looked round and grinned at Rob's Dad in response to his words. He was thoughtful like that, even though I didn't really mind Rob's Mum.

''Oh I'm sorry, how rude of me!'' Rob's Mum apologized, making Rob's Dad roll his eyes, and me laugh in response.

''Congratulations sweetheart,'' he winked at me, shaking my hand in his, before he turned to Rob and started talking to him.

Me and Rob's Mum moved to the kitchen table and talked over the different foods that I was able to eat whilst I was pregnant just as the front door banged again, and a loud barking noise echoed through the house.

I looked back to Rob in shock to see him grinning at the kitchen door. Just then, Lizzie walked into the kitchen, flashing a smile at me, alongside with Rob's Yorkshire Terrier, who flew over to Rob in seconds.

''My Dog! I missed you so much Patty!'' He picked the small Dog up as Patty licked Rob's face playfully, eager to see his Master. Lizzie rolled her eyes in response to Robs fussing, and grinned at me.

''That Dog has been barking at me all day in order to let me see you. I brought him with me from London.'' She explained, giving both of her Parents a kiss on the cheek and she took a seat next to me.

''How's this Baby?'' She asked me, her hand instantly flying to my belly, like how it always did. I froze though, looking to look at Rob's Mum who didn't look too happy.

''Charming…so even my Daughter knew before me!'' She huffed, making Rob's Dad sigh in response, behind her.

''Ur yeah…sorry…Lizzie was here at the house one day so-''

''-It's fine.'' Rob's Mum interrupted me, smiling. I smiled back, still flushed and turned back to Lizzie to see her frowning in disappointment.

''Still no kicking then?'' She asked me disappointedly.

''Well she is only just three months pregnant Lizzie!'' Rob huffed at his Sister from the kitchen. I looked round to see him giving his Dog some Dog food, and going back to cooking the breakfast. Bless him, I knew that he was so happy now that he had seen his Dog. He had missed Patty like hell.

''Well I know, but god…have you even had morning sickness yet?'' She asked me curiously. I shook my head, shocking her. ''Lucky bitch.'' She commented annoyed, making me laugh. I supposed that in some way that was one lucky thing so far.

''I'm a little worried actually. There's been no kicks, no morning sickness…nothing.'' I whined, because I truly was worried.

''Well you've got a scan tomorrow, right?'' Lizzie asked me. I nodded my head in response, which was one less thing to worry about.

''Well tell the Doctor who does the scan that you're worried. I'm sure they'll tell you if anything's wrong or anything.'' She was right.

''Yeah, you're right, thanks.'' I smiled at her.

She took my hand and squeezed in encouragement. ''No problem.''

''I hope you're not thinking of staying for breakfast…because this is all for Charlie.'' Rob warned our guests.

Lizzie rolled her eyes in response. ''Gee, way to make me feel welcome, Brother.'' She huffed back sarcastically, making me laugh in response.

He huffed in response, but I couldn't help but notice how Rob had said that it was all for me. He was having a laugh, right? Surely he was just joking about!

''Did you just say that it was all for me?'' I questioned Rob in shock. There was no way that I'd let him only have a few slices of meat just because I had one and a half people to eat for.

''Well its mostly for you.'' He replied as he carried on cooking our breakfast. ''Obviously the meat is for me, but I'm not having much else with my breakfast. I'm not very hungry and you need all the food you can get anyway. You're feeding Baby too, remember?'' He reminded me, sounding every bit like a proud Father.

I smiled in response, unable to stop the moisture building up in my eyes. Damn pregnancy hormones!

''Aww, that's my Boy.'' Rob's Mum commented, making Lizzie snicker in response. Rob didn't turn round, and I pretty much guessed why. I could just imagine how embarrassed he was due to his Mum's pride.

I could almost imagine the blush of his warm cheeks, the hand running into the top of his hair due to his embarrassment…I was right too. I clearly saw Rob pick his arm up from his side, and run his hand through the top of his hair.

''Just make sure that Charlie has lots of vegetables on her plate. She needs at least five a day of her fruit and vegetables, especially now that she's pregnant.'' Rob's Mum warned him. Of course that was right too. We head read it in this book.

''I do know that Mum!'' Rob complained embarrassed. I laughed to myself quietly, unable to stop him.

Bless him, I knew that he didn't mind that his Mum fussing over me, but I knew that he also knew what he was doing. I also knew that he wanted to do things himself; for me and the Baby and I could understand his frustration at his Parents interfering.

''Alright, well I'm just checking.'' His Mum defended herself. I smiled when she smiled at me, watching for Rob's expression. He sighed heavily and shook his head angrily when his Dad nudged him, and told him to be good, telling him that his Mum was just trying to help.

I smiled in response, and looked back to the kitchen table where Rob's Mum was talking to Lizzie about the book that I had got for what to eat whilst I was pregnant.

''I've just looked through it, and it looks like a really good book…oh and also Son, Charlie needs a good ten percent of her daily diet to be based around meat, fish, dairy products and beans. So if she has this for breakfast, then she should probably have some fish for lunch, and some chick peas with some vegetables with it or something. Lentils are a good choice too.'' His Mum explained to him.

''Fine, okay.'' Rob replied, and I knew that he was stressed. I kept my head down, because it wasn't my place to get involved. His Mum was really nice, and she probably thought she was doing the right thing in getting involved with us, but…well I knew that Rob preferred to do things on his own. To Prove that he could, especially as me and Baby were his family now too.

''And also if you do cook fish, then make sure its not undercooked at all. Overcooked is better, as its not very good-''

''Alright Mum, I get the picture! I should know how to look after my own Wife, thanks!'' Rob told her annoyed. She looked round in shock, and I looked up in time to see his Dad sharing a look with her.

''Claire honey…I think you and I need to take a walk. Didn't you say that you wanted to take a look around the garden?'' Rob's Dad asked her, trying to break the tense silence which had taken place of this kitchen.

Bless her, I knew how hard she wanted to make us happy, but there really was no need. I had Rob, he had me, and she should have known that he preferred to do things for himself, without anyone else telling him what to do.

''Yeah, but we can look at the garden another day-''

''-No sweetheart, I really think we should have a look now.'' Rob's Dad interrupted her. I smiled back at Rob's Dad, just as Lizzie got up from the table too.

''Yeah, I wanted to have a look at the back garden too. I haven't seen it before.'' She added quickly, making it sound more truthful as she followed her Mum out of the kitchen door. Rob sighed heavily in response, serving up our breakfast.

I shut the pregnancy guide book and walked over to Rob, who I knew was really stressed out. ''Hey…chill out.'' I warned him, wrapping my arms around him, once he was finished serving up our breakfast.

He huffed in response. ''Yeah, I can really do that with her around!'' He choked out angrily. He shoved his hands back onto the sides, and tried to take calm breaths to chill himself back out again.

''Your Mum is just trying to help. I think that I would be pretty much the same if I was in her shoes.'' I admitted, because I knew that it was true.

''Well I hope that you don't embarrass our little Boy or Girl as much as she does to me. It's like she thinks I really cant look after you. Like I haven't been looking after my own family properly.''

I tried not to smile as he said my family, meaning me, him, and our silent baby still in my stomach. Silent, because it hadn't yet kicked me once. I laughed though, unable to stop myself, because he sounded so embarrassed about his Mum.

''She knows that you're doing a great job. It's a Mother's job to worry. I mean look at the state I'm in, and that's within three months of a pregnancy!'' I warned him because it was true. That got a short laugh from him, which was better than nothing.

''I suppose you're right about that one.'' He agreed with me. He turned around, and welcomed my arms then, seeming a bit happier than what state he had been a moment ago. I was glad about that fact.

He leaned down and kissed me then, softly at fist, before kissing me more urgently. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his face tighter against mine.

A braking interrupted us though, and I looked down to see Patty staring up at us. I laughed in response, picking his adorable Dog up into my arms.

Rob groaned in response. ''Give us ten minutes more please Patty. And then you can have all the attention that you want.'' Rob promised his Dog, trying to put him back onto the floor, but I wasn't having that.

''Ur…for one thing…you've got zero minutes left. And two…Patty deserves some attention after he hasn't seen his Master for so long.'' I told him, making him sigh. I laughed in response, before easily returning my attention back to his gorgeous Dog.

Patty was a really beautiful Dog; his fur was all white, and whiny, and he reminded me a bit like my Brother's wife's old Dog before he had died.

We sat down at the kitchen table after Patty was settled which gave us some time to talk about what had happened at breakfast time after we ate our fry up.

''I know I was pretty harsh to my Mum…but she does wind me up a little bit. You're my family now, you and this baby.'' He added, setting his hand down on my belly. ''And I want to look after you. I, not my Parents.'' He spelled it out for me.

I smiled and reached over the table and took his free hand, rubbing my thumb against the back of his hand, ignoring the way my heart overacted at the way he said his family. Because I was his now, me and Baby, but it still made my heart flutter when he mentioned it.

''I know. But you need to tell your Mum this. She probably doesn't even realize that she's getting in the way. You should tell her how you feel.'' It was true. Anybody would be the same if they were in his shoes.

''You're right, and when she comes back into the kitchen, I'll talk to her.'' He promised me, kissing me.

And once everyone came back into the kitchen, Rob cleared his throat ready to speak to his Mum. ''I wanted to apologize for earlier Mum. I just feel like you're doing the things that I should be doing, that I want to do. I hope you understand that Charlie's my mouth, and because I feel protective of her…and this baby, I want to look after her.'' He apologized, making me proud. Everything he said was all true.

His Mum just smiled at him, giving him a hug, and making him a little embarrassed again. ''I know Son, and I'm sorry too. And from now on, I'll try and take a step back. You're right; Charlie and this Baby is your family now.'' she agreed with him.

''Thanks Mum.'' He grinned at her after she had released him again.
