"Okay." Daniella said quietly and then hung up. She took a deep breath and then walked out of the bathroom to the living room.

Issy was looking across at Jamie as she held Isaac on her legs. "Jamie I'm worried she's going to tell me to leave." said quietly
Jamie looked at Issy. "Relax baby. She was probably just a bit shocked. It has been a while since we last saw her." He pointed out as he sat with Piper. Then Daniella walked into the room, her hands on her very round tummy. "Hi." She said softly, almost sounding scared.
Issy was about to speak back to Jamie until she heard Daniella, she looked over and her mouth opened a little, she was shocked, stunned "d-Dani." She said softly, looking at her belly "Dani your..."
Daniella chewed her lip as she sat down on the couch slowly, being careful not to hurt herself. "Yeah. I am." She said quietly. "Seven months."
She just watched her, still shocked. "I just.. I'm .. wow." She said quietly "i mean, congrats." She said trying to snap out of being so shocked and surprised
"Thank you." Daniella said quietly. It felt awkward and tense, she didn't know what to say.
Daniella took a breath to keep herself calm, her hand absently rubbing her tummy. "I was scared really. You know the law about this." She said, her voice even quieter now. "I tried to tell you a few times. I could just never do it."
She nodded softly, looking across at her "I know the law, of course I do but I would never have said anything. We would never have said anything." She said as she glanced at Jamie then back to daniella. "I'll always be there for you dani."
"I know." Daniella said, her eyes beginning to fill with tears. It didn't help that Issy and her family were all sitting on one couch while she sat alone on the other. It only made her feel more isolated. "I'm just so scared they'll hurt my baby girl."
Issy gently placed Isaac into the couch beside his dad and she moved over to Dani, she gently put her arm around her shoulders. "Jamie and I would never let them, hurt you or your baby," she said, looking at her then she hugged her gently "I'm sorry, I just missed you so much," Zayne walked in the door with the bags of some shopping, he hurried through and dropped them into the counter in the kitchen then went to the living room. "Issy... Jamie," he said before going to sit beside Dani. "Babe," he said quietly.
Daniella hugged Issy back, doing all she could to keep herself from crying. "I missed you too. So so much." She said and held onto her best friend. When Zayne walked in she looked up at him, still needing him to keep her from breaking down completely. Jamie stayed quiet and sat with his own children while Daniella and Issy talked. He didn't like this situation one bit but he said nothing, not wanting to cause a scene yet.
Issy pulled back when she heard zayne and he sat down, she looked at him again , biting her lip. "Hi.. congratulations," she said softly, still a little unsure about it though. "You must be excited?" Zayne put his arm around Daniela gently then nodded slightly "yeah, I guess we are." He said
Daniella leaned into Zayne. "Yeah." She said softly and gave a small smile. "We've been thinking of names but we can't decide anything yet."
Issy smiled softly and nodded, going back over to sit with her family "y-you said it's a girl?@ she asked
"Yeah. It's a girl." Daniella said and stood up from the couch. "Do you want a drink or anything? I've got juice for Isaac." She offered.
Issy smiled at Daniela then looked at Isaac "would you like some juice?" She asked him
Isaac, who was sucking his thumb, nodded. "Pweez." He mumbled around the finger in his mouth. Daniella smiled and then looked to Issy. "Would you like anything?" She asked and glanced at Jamie too.
Issy smiled a little at Isaac then looked back at Daniela "I'll just have some water please." She said Zayne sat across from them on the other couch, letting dani do what she wanted knowing that she wouldn't let him help
Jamie turned down the offer so Daniella nodded and then waddled to the kitchen. She was tired, exhausted even, from not having been sleeping well over the past couple of nights. Then Issy appearing suddenly had freaked her out a lot. Regardless she didn't want to ask for help, not wanting to seem weak. She started to get the drinks made up.
Issy watched her waddle away, she felt like she should go help but was worried about it. She looked across at zayne again. "So how are you?"He looked at her again, nodding a little "good, were happy." He said
Daniella was nearly managing but when she went to pick up the glass of water for Issy it slipped from her hand and fell to the floor with a crash. The glass smashed and went over where. "Shit." She cursed loudly and then tried to bend over to pick up the broken pieces.
Zayne heard the crash and instantly was to his feet, he ran to the kitchen "Dani stop!" He told her, he didn't want her to do anything to clean it up, he would clean it up. He walked to and around a little "Dani stop, please." He said to her. Issy looked at him once then heard the crash, she gasped a little "Jamie go help." She told him
Dani sighed. "Okay." She said and then stepped out of the way. Jamie had put Piper down and had joined them in the kitchen too so seeing them both there Dani lifted the other glass of water and Isaac's juice and took them back to the living room. She put both drinks on the table in front of Issy, Isaac's was in a sippy cup because that was the only thing she had that wasn't a glass and she figured he was still a little too small for them. "Can I sit with you?" She asked her friend. She really had missed Issy and this tension between them hurt, even more so with her hormones being a mess. She just needed to know that they were okay.
Zayne made sure she didn't step in any glass before he began to clean up the mess, thanking Jamie when he come to help him Issy was holding piper again before she reached forward and handed Isaac the cup of juice, she looked up at Daniela and thanked her then said to Isaac "what do you say to Aunty Dani?" She asked him. When dani asked to sit with her she looked at her again with a soft laugh "of course you can," she said, moving over to let her sit down with her
Daniella relaxed some when Issy laughed. She slowly sat herself down on the couch beside her best friend and took a deep breath. Moving around was getting more difficult the further along she was and it was getting more frustrating too. She smiled as Isaac climbed into her lap and gave her a hug. "You're welcome kid." She said and ruffled his hair. She watched as he sipped the juice and then looked to Issy. "He's so big now." She said softly and smiled at her.
Isaac said thankyou as he climbed up into her lap and hugged her. Issy smiled while she watched her son then nodded at Dani, "yeah he's growing quickly," she said then looked at pip. "And this is Piper." She said, looking at the still very small baby in her arms. "We call her Pip." She said softly and looked at Daniella again.
Daniella looked at the baby girl and smiled. "She's gorgeous." She told Issy softly. She would have liked to hold Pip but since she had Isaac in her lap she figured it was easier to just hold one child at a time. She sighed happily and rested her hands on her tummy.
She smiled with a nod as she looked at pip again. "She's very quiet," she said "which is good, I'm not complaining." She said "do you want to hold her? I can take Isaac."
Daniella nodded. "Yes please." She said softly. She kissed the top of Isaac's head just so he wouldn't feel unloved and then helped him from her lap. Once she was ready she turned to Issy and took Piper from her.
Issy gently handed piper over to her and smiled a little, she waited until piper was in Danis arms before she held Isaac on her legs. "Like your juice?" She asked him
Daniella looked at Piper in awe. She was the cutest little girl that Dani had ever seen. "You are just so adorable." She cooed at Pip and played with her. Isaac nodded. He had finished his juice and showed her his empty cup. "Mumma, I gotta go wee wee." He told her and then started sucking his thumb.
Pip smiled up at Daniella and cooed a little back to her, happily laying in her arms. Issy nodded as she took the cup from him and placed it down, she looked at Dani "mind if we use the bathroom?" She asked, helping Isaac up and she got up also. She also told him to stop sucking his thumb.
Daniella smiled at Issy. "It's just down the hall. The first door on the left." She told Issy and then turned back to Pip. Isaac clung to Issy and pulled his thumb from his mouth. He still didn't know why he wasn't allowed to suck his thumb and it upset him but Issy got annoyed when he questioned her about it too often.
Issy nodded with a soft smile then she went and took him to the bathroom, helping him go to the toilet.
Daniella sat with Piper, wondering what was taking Zayne so long in the kitchen. She wasn't complaining because it did keep Jamie from staring at her like she was the spawn of the devil. Jamie had clearly realised how dangerous it was being around her without the intention of reporting her. It hurt Dani but she knew he was right. That was another reason she didn't want to tell Issy because it would put her in danger.
Issy helped Isaac then helped him to wash his hands before they went back out to Daniella, she sat down beside her then held Isaac again. "So how long have you got left?" She asked Zayne looked at Jamie again "thanks for helping." He said as he finished cleaning the mess up,
Daniella looked up from Piper. "About two months." She told Issy and smiled. "She's due at the end of November." She added softly, a touch of excitement in her voice. Jamie smiled at Zayne politely. "No problem." He said and nodded at the other guy.
Issy smiled again as she looked at Daniella with her daughter. "And you've done a nursery?" She asked happilyZayne grinned again "now.. drinks.. you sure you don't want one?" He asked him
Daniella nodded eagerly. "Wanna see?" She asked and then started to move to stand up. She stopped and held Piper out for Issy, not wanting to risk hurting the baby as she struggled to stand. Jamie shook his head. "No. I'm good thanks." He said and smiled at Zayne.
Issy smiled excitedly also and looked at her "oh yes please." She said then helped Isaac off her before she got up also and then took piper from Dani. Zayne nodded before he got the drinks then walked back to the lounge room
Daniella smiled hugely and then stood up. It took her a while and she hated that. Everything in her body just felt so sore now. "Come on, it's upstairs." She told Issy and then waddled her way to the stairs. Jamie helped with what he could and then walked through with Zayne to the living room to find the girls leaving.
Issy smiled as she held piper then looked at Isaac "do you want to stay here with daddy?" She asked him, waiting for him to decide before she would follow Daniella. Zayne walked through also and saw them leaving "they must be going to look at the nursery," he commented
Isaac nodded and then ran over to Jamie. He hugged his dad's legs tightly because he was still acting shy. Daniella smiled and started to make her way up the stairs. Usually she would have waited for Issy but since it took her forever to get anywhere she knew Issy wouldn't be far behind.
She smiled and let him go then she went and began to follow Daniella, she looked around the house, seeing the wedding photos of her and zayne. "Oh Dani, these are beautiful" she said happily Zayne watched Isaac and chuckled a little "hey buddy."
Daniella looked at the photos and smiled widely. "Thank you." She said softly. It had been strange not having Issy or any of her family at her wedding but that hasn't stopped Dani from enjoying every second of it. Isaac looked up at Zayne and smiled. He let go of Jamie and walked over to Zayne, opening his arms out for a hug.
"May I ask how long ago it was?" She said to her, walking up the stairs some more, looking up at her Zayne smiled as he bent down to hug the little boy. "You've grown a lot little man."
"We got married about a year and a half ago." Daniella told her friend as she finally made it to the top of the stairs. She turned and made her way to the nursery, knowing Issy was following her. Isaac giggled and wrapped his arms around Zayne tightly. The last time he had seen Dani and Zayne he was too young to remember them really but that didn't stop him from being friendly now.
She smiled with a nod as she followed her friend up the stairs and towards the room. "It looks like it was a lovely day." She said to her, pip had laid her head against issys shoulder and fell asleep along the way. Zayne grinned when he hugged him back and chuckled "your strong too," he said to him when Isaac hugged him tightly
