I know he wanted to shout it from the rooftops that he was going to be a dad, but I wanted to keep it our little secret until we were at least 12 weeks. I probably shouldn't have but I read a lot of things online. Anything could happen and I wanted to make sure everything was okay before we told anyone.

"It's our little secret babe. Now eat your toast I'm going to shower".

I ate my toast in small bites. It was the only way I could keep it down. I finished getting dried and dressed before heading downstairs. Lana had already messaged about going for lunch, but I had yet to message her back.

I wasn't sure if I was up for it. I wanted to go but the way I was feeling was making me second guess. I was shattered, my stomach was dodgy. If I presented like this to the girls, then they would know straight away. They already suspected but I wasn't going to tell them. Jake and I made a promise to keep it to ourselves for a little while longer.

But if I didn't go then they would think something was wrong.

I texted Alanna and Lacey asking if they were free for lunch. Explained the whole Lana situation and waited for the reply.

Of course, Alanna called instead of replying.

"Hey". I answered.

"So, all is good with Lana then?". She asked.

"Are you driving?". She sounded far away, like I was on speaker.

"Heading home I'm going to drop in. Do you need anything?".

"A caramel Frappuccino". I chewed my bottom lip. I may feel sick, but I wanted one. No scratch that I needed one. Every time I thought about food or a specific food item, I had to have it.

A laugh fell from her lips. "Still refusing to believe that you're pregnant?".

"It's just coffee". I sighed.

"Whatever you say mama. I'll see you soon".

She ended the call.

A sigh fell from my lips as I sat at the table.

"What's with the face?". He asked walking into the kitchen.

"Alanna knows".

"You told her?". He shouted.
