“I want another baby.” Austin said a few weeks later as we reclined against the wooden headboard in our bedroom, me draped across his chest. I looked up at him to see him with a huge smile on his face.

“Why?”

“I think Mia would like a little brother or sister.”

“You’re on tour way too often for me to look after two kids alone.” I complained to him as he ran his fingers through my hair.

“Well, I was talking to the band the other week. We’re all nearly thirty and have families. Alan and Gus have been together as long as us, Phil and Izzy have a baby and are married and Tino has been with Angela for nearly four months.”

“What’s this got to do with having a baby, Austin?” I asked him.

“We were going to take a hiatus until Mia is older and possibly the other baby. I want to be here every minute of your life now.”

“I’m not letting you give up on your dream.”

“Music isn’t my dream anymore. You and Mia are.” He sat up further and I rolled over my hand resting on his lap so I could see his face.

“How long are you thinking for the hiatus?”

“Five years. Mia will be eight by then and if we have another baby he or she will be five. They’ll be old enough to go on tour by then.”

“What will you do about money?” I ran my fingertips through the light hair on his stomach as he stared down at me with dark eyes.

“We’ll release some albums and EP’s in that time. We just won’t tour yet.”

“Why don’t we weigh up the pros and cons?” I asked him as I sat up. He reached over a grabbed a notebook that was sitting on the table and the pen.

“Okay pros first.” Austin said as he poised the pen over the paper. “Another family member.”
“You’re at home for five years.” I said to him and reached out to twine my hand with his.
“You’re horny constantly when you’re pregnant.” He said with a smirk.

“Let’s do the cons. I get fatter, my clothes don’t fit and I get irritable when you touch me.” Austin scribbled it down and grinned.

“You’re boobs get bigger, you walk around with no clothes on and we have angry sex.” Austin put in the pros to it.

“More money will be spent; we’ll need a bigger house and a bigger car.”

“We get to shop for a new house and a new car.”

“You’re making this really hard.” I said to him with a glare. He set the paper down on the bed and tackled me onto the bed so I was underneath him.

“Please, Taylor.”

“You’re not begging for a puppy.”

“Come on, baby. I want a bigger family.” Austin bent down and kissed me on the neck with a hum. I leant my head back against the bed as Austin’s lips travelled down my neck as I pondered why I was arguing with him. The door banged loudly and Austin heaved himself off me with a groan and opened the bedroom door.

Mia stood there with her Disney pyjamas on and her teddy in her hands. Her slippers were on her feet as she shuffled them against the floor.

“Are you alright, Mia?”

“Person said I was fat.” Mia frowned up at Austin who picked her up and bought her to the bed. He put her between us before stroking her blonde hair.

“You are not fat, Mia.” I said to her with a frown before kissing her forehead. It was true. Mia was lucky and had inherited the ability to eat anything and not gain any weight.

“Squishy.” Mia nodded her head and I grinned down at her. At only four years old she wasn’t accepting any bullshit from other people.

“Mia, honey? How do you feel about having a baby brother or sister?” Austin asked as he cast a look over her head to me.

“Will I have to share my room?” Mia’s nose scrunched up as she pondered the idea.

“No, sweetie. We’ll buy a new house.” Austin said to her with a chuckle. She seemed to think for a few moments before nodding her small head.

“Good. How about we get you dressed and get some breakfast into your tummy?” Austin picked Mia up again and I frowned at him.

“It’s been almost three months, love. I can lift her.” He said sensing my worry. I nodded to him and slid my robe on over my body as Austin padded to the kitchen in just his underwear. I headed towards Mia’s bedroom knowing the mess that was waiting for me. Sure enough toys were thrown across the room.

I wasn’t sure why Austin wanted another baby but I knew I wasn’t able to deny him. I cleaned Mia’s bedroom and was finished a few minutes before Austin chased Mia up the stairs and towards her closet.

“I’m going to shower.” I said to him with a smile. I went through our bedroom to the bathroom. Austin caught me looking at the small contraceptive pills that were on the bathroom counter. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and plucked the pills from my hand.

“Now or never right?” he asked.

“Yeah.” I smiled as he tossed them in the bin and I turned the shower on.

“Where’s Mia?”

“In her bedroom playing.” Austin growled and pushed his underwear off his legs with a grin. I shook my head fondly at him before undressing and climbing in the shower. He laughed as I tossed the soap to him. His scar was still a vicious red but it was nowhere near as bad as a few months ago.

“How about we start the baby making process now?” he waggled his eyebrows at me and I fell into his arms with a laugh.
