Justin

I yawned as I made my way slowly down the stairs and into the kitchen. It was 1:30AM and I was craving something. Something like strawberries and Nutella. Oooh, yes! Strawberries and Nutella. Mmmm. Yum.

Venturing into the kitchen, I walked over the kitchen fridge and a frowned when there was more strawberries. Suddenly I burst into fat tears. I ran -walked- out as fast as my pregnant self could. Climbing the stairs I ran into mine and Jason's room. "Jason!" I cried. I shook him little to wake him.

"Mmh? Baby, what's wrong?" He asked sitting up. "Why are you breathing heavy? Is something wrong with the baby?" He asked worried and concerned. "There's no more left!" I cried into his arms. Jason's eyes widen as I screamed in his face. "What? Baby? No more left of what?" He asked gently, pushing the hair on my forehead away.

"There's no more strawberries!" I cried. "It's all gone!" I sobbed. "No more! I'm gonna starve!" I cried.

"Justin! Justin! Listen baby," Jason said, turning my head with his thumb, slightly rubbing my jawline.

My teary eyes meet his cerulean blue ones. "You're not gonna starve. Alright? I'll go out a buy some more. Yeah?" He asked as I leaned into his touch.

"Now did you run up the stairs? You were breathing heavily," He noted. I nodded slowly. "Babe, you know, you shouldn't be running," He said softly. I nodded again. "I'm sorry," I whispered.

"Okay why don't you get some rest while I go out and get them strawberries, yeah?" He asked as he laid me down. "Okay," I said sighing.

"Alright, did you need anything else, my love?" Jason said as he stood beside the bed in his grey sweatpants and white shirt. Now that I think about it..

"Could you please get me chicken nuggets?" I asked shyly. "Of course, babe," Jason said leaning down and kissing my forehead. I smiled at his gesture. "I'll be back soon, beautiful," Jason winked.

"Jason!" I called out. "Yes?" He asked walking in back through the door. "Um, don't worry about them chicken nuggets. You're already getting me strawberries, that's enough," I said suddenly insecure, thinking how much I've been eating lately. It's sure to add to the weight.

"No, it's okay, I'll get both," He said. I shook my head sitting up, the blanket going down on my lap making me realise, I'm only in Jason's large shirt because mine aren't fitting so well. Because I'm fat.

I burst into another round of tears and sobs. "Baby?" Jason called. I looked up at him with blurry eyes just sobbing. "Baby? C'mon, what's wrong my love?" He asked sitting down next to be on the bed.

"I'm fat! How can you love me?" I cried. "Oh baby," Jason whispered pulling me into his embrace. "You're not fat. Don't ever say something like that. Never. Baby, you're pregnant with our baby boy," He whispered trying to calm me down by rubbing my back. "Even if you were, I'd love it even more," He added.

"And I love you so so much! How could I not? Everything about you is loveable," He continued. I shook my head not believing him.

"Yes, first, you're carrying our baby boy, you have this gorgeous glow on your skin, your baby bump is so bloody cute. When you wear my clothes and they reach down to your knees and make you even smaller. I live for it. That's not all, you have the warmest chocolate brown eyes that I simply get lost in. They're so mesmerising. You have the prettiest smile that lights up the world. Lights up my world. Your eyelashes are to die for. You have a jawline that could kill for days. Little cute button nose that scrunches up when your find something weird or when I kiss it. Your luscious hair, my lord. Love it. Your lips, ugh, so soft, so pink, so tempting, so sweet. Don't even get me started on your voice. It's so angelic. Everything about you is perfect. Baby you're perfect to me," He finished while I was in a waterworks.

"Aww baby, don't cry my love, everything I said is all true," He cooed. "I love you so much Jason!" I cried into his chest. "There, there," He said, slowly rocking us back and fourth.

"Thank you," I said after a couple of minutes of silence except for me sniffling. "You're welcome, baby," Jason said moving some hair from my forehead again and kissed my temple.

"Now, I'll be back soon, still gotta them strawberries you wanted, yeah?" Jason said, laying my body down underneath the cover. I nodded shyly.

"I love you," He whispered. "I love you," I repeated sending him a grateful smile.

"I'll be back soon, babe. Get some rest," Jason said, leaning down and pressing a kiss to my lips and left.

Jason

"Hey Jason, I heard Justin crying, is he alright?" Alex whispered walking out of his and Kate's bedroom door. I nodded. "Yeah, it's algood, his pregnancy cravings and hormones are on the loose," I said. He chuckled. "Damn, so happy, Kate's not pregnant anymore, otherwise I'd be doing the same," He said referring to me. I laughed. "Alright, I'll be back soon. Goodnight Alex," I smiled. He smiled back and yawned, walking back into his room.

Before walking out, I made a quick pit stop to the Jake and Jade's room. I opened Jake's door first to be surprised to see Jade was in there too. She was asleep on the bottom bed. I smiled. They can never be separated them two. I quietly shut the door and made my way down the stairs.

As I walked out the front door, my mind wondered as though came.

Where am I going to buy strawberries?

It's almost 2:15AM. No grocery stores are going to be open at this time. I shook my head. I'll have to drive around so my baby can be happy and content.

I look down at the clock on the dash and see it's almost been an hour since I've gone out. Most stores were closed like I expected. Only ones open were 24 hour McDonald's, Kmart, which definitely does not have fresh fruit and big servos. The streets were quiet. Except the cars driving along. Even the nightclubs were closed.

Suddenly hearing my phone ring, I pulled over.

"Hello," I answered as I wondered who it was. "Sir, it's Michael, uh your car is not in the driveway. I'm guessing you're with it. Did you need me to go with you or did you need some privacy space?" He asked kind of concerned. I guess as a bodyguard they need to be with at all times. Justin had assigned Michael to me, though I could handle myself. "Michael, thanks for calling. I was just out trying to buy some strawberries for Justin," I stated.

"Oh, sir, you could of just came next door. There is a fresh box in the fridge," He said. I chuckled. "Why didn't I think of that?!" I said.

"Great, Michael, thank you, I'll be home soon," I notified. "Okay, I'll see you soon," He said and hung up.

Damn why didn't I just go over to next door first?!

"Hi, what can I get you?" A guy said. "Hi, can I get a 20 pack nuggets?" I asked out the window. "Of course, sweet and sour for the sauce?" He asked. "Yep," I answered. "Is that all?" He asked. "Yep," "okay drive down," He said. I moved the car in drive and paid for the food. (an: trust me, once not cheap. I went to America 2 years ago and I saw a 20 pack of nuggets at Maccas were is $6! OMG! So bloody cheap but so unhealthy)

"Here's your order, have a nice night," She said handing me the nuggets. I thanked her and drove off.

I tuned off the ignition and shut the door, locking it.

"Here you go sir," Michael said after opening the door and handing me 2 small trays of strawberries. "Thank you, Michael! You're a lifesaver," I said gratefully. "No problem, sir, goodnight," He smiled.

I made my way over to the house and locked the door. I walked into the kitchen and started preparing the combinations of sweets.

I ventured up the stairs with a water in one hand and a plate of Nutella dipped strawberries.

I laughed as I spotted Justin cuddled up to my pillow fast asleep.

Luckily I placed glad wrap over the plate. I set both items on his bedside table. I got under the covers and sighed. All the effort.

"Goodnight my love, I love you," I whispered as I took in his scent and pulled him closer.
