i'll bet that's why

Giovanna laughed with Calum's words, her fingers running through his slight curls still. "Of course you do," Giovanna teased, sighing out in content as Calum's hand ran through her hair, and feeling his other hand rub circles into her tummy, Giovanna couldn't help but grin. "I can't wait to become a planet." She murmured with a grin, pressing a kiss to Calum's lips as his forehead met hers once more. Hearing his words though, Gigi smiled. "Yeah?" She murmured, although her gaze met his with the mention of stress - Calum really hadn't had it easy recently. "Well, at least Baby Hood helped with that stress. I've been worried about you." She admitted quietly, but smiling when he chuckled, because Calum's happiness was what mattered most to Giovanna, besides their tiny baby. "We're gonna be the best parents ever." Gigi grinned.

Ashton grinned up at Mia as she spoke about their baby, the most perfect creation to ever exist, besides Mia. He sighed happily with the feeling of Mia's fingers running through her hair, knowing that he'd found her soulmate within her, and when they had moments like this, Ashton knew everything was woven into fate for them, and it brought him comfort. When Mia shifted, eye level with him on the ground, Ashton listened to her words carefully and smiled when Mia cupped his cheeks, his hands settling on her sides, being gentle. "Baby, you're gonna make me cry." Ashton laughed meekly, his eyes already tearful. "God, Harry and Lauren are gonna be so excited to be an Aunt and Uncle." Ashton grinned with the thought, kissing Mia's lips before his forehead met hers, squeezing around her gently. "Everything about this is perfect, Mia. How the hell did I get so lucky with you? And our little jellybean?"

Calum leaned into Giovanna’s touch when he felt her running her fingers through his hair, causing him to relax, a happy noise escaping him. “Of course I do,” he confirmed with amusement, chuckling as his fingers toyed with the ends of her hair, his other hand still gently stroking her tummy, loving the idea of her bump eventually growing, of feeling baby Hood kick, and the thought made him kiss Giovanna again. “Yeah? I can’t wait, either. You’re already glowing, God, you’ll be even more beautiful and surreal, and I never even thought it was possible for you to become more perfect, but I know you will be.” Chuckling with the thought, he grinned when she kissed him but shifted closer to her, just wanting to be as close to her as possible, swearing he’d never been happier. “You don’t have to worry about me, baby, especially now that you’re pregnant. I don’t want you to stress, alright?” Smiling, he shifted, moving back from her so that he could kiss her forehead before he rested his forehead back to hers. “We’re gonna make everybody jealous. Our baby’s gonna be perfect and we’re gonna be the best family to exist.”

Mia smiled as she examined Ashton, her hands lifting to run her fingers through his hair when she felt his hands on her sides, and her expression softened when she heard his meek laugh and saw his teary eyes. “I’m not trying to make you cry,” she promised quietly, leaning forward to kiss him gently, though she grinned slightly. “And they’ll be the best Aunt and Uncle. God, imagine them holding little baby Irwin.” She laughed happily with the thought, but grinned when he kissed her, breathing out happily when Ashton’s forehead was against hers. “Mm, well, sweetheart, it all started in a coffee shop with rude customers before it suddenly turned into the best day of our lives - well, until now.” And, she grinned with the thought, leaning to kiss him again. “God, I love you, Ash, and I can’t wait to meet baby Irwin.”

Giovanna giggled with the happy noise Calum made when she ran her fingers through his hair. "You're such an ass." She teased lightly, placing a hand on top of Calum's on her tummy, smiling with the thought. "There's gonna be a bump there soon." She murmured happily, returning Calum's kiss with adoration, but she laughed with his words. "Baby, I can't wait for you to say this when I'm hormonal and crying because you didn't get the right flavour milkshake." She teased, pressing a kiss to the tip of Calum's nose, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I won't stress, Cal, but that doesn't stop me worrying." She spoke firmly, yet kindly, wanting Calum to know she was there for him if he needed her. When Calum moved back from Giovanna, she smiled as he pressed a kiss to her forehead, resting her hands at the back of his neck as his forehead rested against hers. "We are." She confirmed with a grin. "God, Baby Hood is gonna be so beautiful."

Ashton nodded with Mia's promise of trying not to make him cry, and he laughed through his tears. "I'm just an emotional wreck." He promised in return, returning Mia's kiss, his heart almost exploding in his chest with how much he loved this woman, how grateful he was to her existence, because Mia had seen Ashton at his best and worst, and he could only ever be himself around her. Smiling with her words about Harry and Lauren, Ashton bit his lip, adoring Mia's love for his siblings. "It's gonna be amazing. This is gonna be amazing," he laughed, pressing another kiss to Mia's lips before his forehead settled against hers with amazement. "That really was the best day of my life." Ashton grinned. "But this tops it. And when Baby Irwin is born? Nothing will ever top that." Ashton grinned. "I can't wait for your bump to start growing, and for us to just... experience this together." Ashton bit his lip with the thought.

Calum laughed with the mention of it. "How am I an ass?" he teased with a grin, shifting his hand so he could hold hers when she placed hers over his, giving it a gentle, loving squeeze. "And, even if I am, you love this ass." He winked teasingly but leaned to kiss her forehead lovingly. "I know, and I can't wait." Shifting, he rested his hands on her hips, pulling her gently onto his lap, just wanting to hold her, wanting to have her there, because she was everything to him, and now he had both her and their baby to protect and love. "God, I love you. I love this baby. We're gonna be the perfect family, I just know it." He grinned and leaned to kiss her again for a moment. "Baby Hood's gonna get its beauty from its Momma."

Mia smiled softly as she listened to Ashton and she nodded in understanding. "It's okay," she assured quietly, though her heart swelled, because she couldn't believe she had somebody as loving and caring as Ashton by her side. He was such a gentle soul, and she was beyond lucky to have him. She grinned with the feeling of his kiss and she chewed on her lip happily. "Yeah, it's definitely gonna be amazing," she agreed quietly, but she laughed happily, "This whole experience is gonna be perfect, I can't wait."

"I do love this ass, that's the problem." Giovanna teased, following Calum's lead as he pulled her onto his lap, and getting comfortable, Giovanna exhaled happily, gently guiding Calum's hands back to her tummy, pressing a sweet kiss to his forehead as she watched him for a moment, and the smile he wore was enough for Giovanna to feel whole, to feel complete, because soon, they'd be a family of three. "I love you too, Cal." Giovanna promised, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I love our baby so much already." She laughed, smiling into his lips. "Baby Hood is going to be the sweetest little thing." She sighed happily.

Ashton listened to Mia's words, focusing on the sound of her voice before pressing another kiss to her soft lips, and he exhaled happily, laughing in amazement that the woman he loved was carrying their baby - a result of the love that they shared, something so beautiful. "It's going to be an amazing experience," Ashton promised. "I'm going to look after you so good, Mia, I swear." And he meant it more than anything. When his mother had been expecting his little brother and sister, Ashton had enjoyed every moment, and now it was his baby; everything seemed so much more magical, the happiness amplified in the most wonderful way. "The guys are gonna be so ecstatic too." he grinned, pressing his forehead to Mia's, gently bumping his nose against hers, his hands on her sides, thinking to himself that soon, there would be a bump to occupy the space.

Calum couldn’t help but laugh to Giovanna’s words. “I don’t think it’s a problem at all,” he teased, kissing the side of her head, though his hands rubbed her stomach gently as he held her close, breathing out happily, a little in shock with the fact that they’d created a baby together, that they were going to be parents. “So do I, babe.” Smiling, he leaned to rest his head on her shoulder, relaxing with knowing she was in his hold, that she and their baby were safe. “We’re gonna spoil Baby Hood like crazy.”

Mia smiled as she listened to him, her hands cupping his face, and she ran her thumbs over his cheeks happily, so in awe of him and the fact that they were going to have a baby together. “It is,” she agreed quietly, though she grinned and leaned to kiss him for a moment, “And I don’t doubt that for a moment. You’re amazing like that, too sweet for your own good.” Her grin broadened a bit and she reached, sliding her arms around him to hug him gently. “Everything’s gonna be perfect.”

Gigi smiled softly with Calum's contact, already craving so dearly to be in his embrace, and when he rested his head on her shoulder, Giovanna let out a breath of relief, of happiness, of pure love, her fingers brushing through his dark curls, her free hand resting upon his on her stomach. Kissing the side of his head, Gigi sighed softly. "I love you." Giovanna reminded him, before brushing through his curls once more. "And we have nine months before we start spoiling..." Giovanna laughed then. "C'mon, let's go to bed. This excitement's worn me out."

Ashton smiled at Mia as she ran her thumbs over the apples of his cheeks, and Ashton sighed happily, tightening his arms around Mia's waist. "This is all so perfect, Mia," Ashton laughed into her kiss, returning the kiss happily, relieved and ecstatic that Mia was the woman he'd be starting a family with, their own mini version of them - and, God, Ashton hoped that baby would have Mia's beautiful smile, or bright eyes, or melodic laugh. "It's already perfect." Ashton promised as Mia hugged him, and burying his face into Mia's shoulder, Ashton smiled, grateful to Mia for reassuring him that people with the darkest pasts could look forward to the brightest futures - and he would give Mia and their baby the most wonderful life. "You need rest, love."
