Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

- Twinkle, twinkle, little star!

Outfit of the Chapter
MAMA

Max woke up to the sound of Alex mumbling, and soon she noticed she had fallen asleep on the couch. He was sitting on the floor next to the couch and he had his hands on her stomach. Apparently he was talking to the belly and she smiled.
”Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are” he sang and Max smiled even more. He was really excited about this.
”When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon. Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!” he continued and Max let out a giggle. He jumped a little and stared at her and then he smiled. He leaned his head against her belly and looked into her eyes.
”Then the traveler in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark; He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are” Max continued and pulled her fingers through his hair, and he smiled.
"When are you leaving?" she asked and slowly sat up. Alex whined and placed his head in her lap instead.
"We’re leaving for Europe tomorrow" he sighed.
"When you come back from Europe, then we’ll tell the rest of the world" she said and kissed him.
"Yeah, because I think a lot of our fans would go nuts if I didn’t tell them" he chuckled.

Alex kissed her and left for his two months tour in Europe. He promised he would call every day and Max promised she would update him on everything that regarded Tigerlily. Every time she felt that she was moving. Every ultrasound he missed. Everything.
"I promise" she said and kissed him one last time before he walked out.
Max had gotten a special pair of dungarees for mothers to be from Denise, and she loved them. She practically lived in them all day long.

Max was walking with Ed through town. They were looking for a place to eat when Max stopped and just stared into air.
"Are you okay?" Ed asked. She took his hand and brought it to her stomach.
"I don’t know if you can feel it, but she’s moving" she said.
"I can’t feel anything" Ed chuckled.
"I have to text Alex" she said and lit up in a big smile.

From: Max
Guess who’s finally decided to move?

From: Alex
Ed?

From: Max
That too, but Tigerlily.

From: Alex
SHE MOVED?!

Max laughed at his answer and smiled. She really did have a baby inside of her. She and Alex was going to be parents, and it was such an amazing feeling to think about it.

While Ed ordered Max stayed outside in the sun, waiting by a table. She looked at a picture of Alex and smiled. She had really found love. She had found someone that like her for her. Even if it had been a fake relationship in the beginning it turned out pretty good. She would be Mrs Gaskarth within time, and she would soon give birth to a beautiful little girl named Tigerlily. Her life was just perfect. Everything was going fine. So fine that it was scary.
"What are you thinking of?" Ed asked and placed a plate with salad before her.
"How my life is just perfect right now, and that it’s scary… because life should never be perfect" she said and looked at him.
"Don’t say that… something might happen" he said and frowned.
"Like what? A fan comes up to me and screams?" she said and laughed a little. She looked at the salad and started to dig in.

And just like she had joked about it suddenly two girls appeared before them.
"Are you Maxine Clayton?" they asked.
"Yes, that would be me" Max said and looked at them.
"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?!" they screamed.

Alex was really bored and didn’t know what to do. Max wasn’t answering her phone and Jack was playing video games but wouldn’t share.
"Relax, she will answer" Jack said.
"I’m bored" Alex whined and let out a big sigh. Then his phone went off and he lit up, but it wasn’t Max. It was Ed who was calling and Alex stopped for a second. Max wasn’t answering and now Ed was calling.
"Ed?" Alex asked and put the phone to his ear.
"Em Alex… Hi" Ed said.
"What’s going on?" Alex asked.
"Max’s in the hospital after some of your fans attacked her" Ed said, and Alex heart dropped.
"She’s what?" he asked.
