1 month later...

today i was about 16 weeks pregnant, and we are about to find out the gender of grape today, we have gathered in portsmouth, both our families are here and just a couple of friends

"you ready for this?" Mase says as we stood in the back garden of his childhood home, waiting for the last few people to arrive

"yep" i nod

Jade is the only person who currently knows the gender of the baby, and she hasn't budged despite the amounts of time we've asked her to give us a hint

she hands each one of us flare and goes and stands next to her now boyfriend Declan, yep, who saw that one coming

we stand inside a pile of scattered balloons and everybody now has their phones out filming

" okay on the count of three" Jade says "ONE... TWO... THREE"

i pull the ring on the coloured flare and at the same time Mase pulls his and pink smoke starts to fill the air

i start jumping around and i find Mase in all the smoke and manage to hug him as hard as i can

i then go and find my parents who were obviously cheering and clapping in the midst of the pink smoke which had only just stopped coming out the flare

"Congrats my dear, i know your going to be an amazing mother" mum says congratulating me

"i agree, you will be perfect" dad agrees

Mase's family also congratulate me, and honestly they've been so friendly and nice, and so supportive too, they feel like they're my second family

i find Mase again and he kisses me as soon as he sees me

"how are you feeling?" he asks me

"amazing as ever"

"excited to have a little grapette running around in a few months"

"of course, how are you feeling"

"im happier than you are" he smiles

"i can tell" i say to him looking at his huge smile, with his dimples clearly showing on either side

i was in love and there was no denial

just looking at him smile could light up my whole week, and his charming personality and just everything about him was what i loved, there wasn't just one thing to love about mason, in fact there's probably too many for me to count

.

"i want to ask you something Lottie" Mase says as we chill back at his house in London that evening, eating the noodles we had made together

"mhm"

"do you want to move in with me"

i basically choke on my food

"are you okay?"

"im fine, don't worry"

"so what you saying, it would be a lot easier for when the baby comes as well"

"of course you dummy, what else did you think i'd say"

i sit up properly and peck him a kiss, then stare into his eyes

"I love you Lottie" he tells me

it takes me a couple seconds to comprehend what he just said

"and i love you more Mase"

i kiss him and it slowly turns into a passionate make out, which only ends when both of us are completely out of breath

.

"do you want to go out?" he says not long after

"where?"

"there's this ice cream place dec said we should try"

"okay"

i change into something a little baggier so that no one would notice my growing belly, and we get into the car

we drive to a nice area in central london, near leicester square, we park then walk to an area where shipping containers had been turned into food stalls

we find the ice cream store, and i get a watermelon ice cream, while mason obviously orders the weirdest flavour, cerelac, we also order some churros to share

the waitress offers for us to sit upstairs as mase's head was hitting the ceiling of the shipping container and he found standing quite uncomfortable

she leads us outside to a set of stairs and up to the top of the shipping container, where there were lights hanging everywhere and there were two seats and a table

minutes later she comes back with the order and leaves

"you can put your hood down, its just us up here" i tell mase who had a hood and a cap to try and not get recognised, i had my hood up as well as i did sometimes get recognised and today i just wasn't in the mood

"im surprised the papparazi didn't show up at all" mase said

"papparazi isn't the problem for me anymore, it got really bad at one point and when i addressed it they kinda did respect my privacy, its just the fans who, yeah its great and all but it gets annoying when your just trying to have a night out"

"yeah i agree, but still i don't understand how you managed to shoo them all away, ive addressed it before but sometimes they still show up"

"theres on group of papparazzi that basically stalked me for two days, but they got shut down after i took  a restraining order against them"

"do you want to try?" he asks

"nah"

"try it, it'll be good for grape"

"oh trust me grape will be having a bunch of cerelac when she's born"

"i love how they serve yours in like a mini duck floatie"

"yeah i know its pretty cute"

i take a churro and dip it in my icecream

"mase look ketchup" i say

"what the hell Char"

i laugh

"no but why?"

"its not bad you know" i say doing it again to infuriate him

he pulls out his phone and starts filming me

"do you want to explain why your dipping the churros in the icecream?"

"its nice mase, try it" i say pointing the red tipped churro at him

"oh my wordddd" he groans as he shuts his phone

"probably grape, i have been eating some weird shit in the last weeks

"yeah, ive noticed"  he laughs

we continue to mess around for the rest of the night around central London, and then we head back to mine where he agrees to start helping me pack shit into boxes the next day
