I could hear the giggles before I cold see the cause but I knew what I was going to find. Her copper curls were splayed out around her as she screwed up her face in delight as her daddy's hands moved magically over her stomach, tickling her furiously. His face was grinning, his eyes shining as she squealed due to his actions.

"Hey, I thought that you were supposed to be going to bed." I laughed.

"Mummy!" She jumped off the bed and ran at me, flinging her self around my legs.

"Come on sweetie; let's get you in to bed." I hoisted her on to my hip being mindful of my swelling baby bump. After wrapping her arms round my neck and giving me a kiss on the cheek, she lent forward patted my 7 months pregnant stomach. She then looked back at me with her forehead furrowed, I know that look. I smiled at her daddy in anticipation.

"Daddy? Why can't you have a big tummy instead of mummy because then she could take me horse riding again." I smiled as I tucked her blankets around her. Her face focused on his, there was no way that he wouldn't answer her question, he couldn't seem to deny her anything.

"Well if I had a baby in my stomach then I would not be able to…to give you those big cuddles that stop all those cameras flashing in your face when those people take your picture." I wonder if he will get away with that one. Apparently not, as I watched my daughter sweet face screw up in concentration.

"But Uncle Emmett and Hayden can do that too."

"Well I think that this talk needs to wait for morning. Ok sweetheart, have you got blankie and the teddy grandma bought you?" She nodded and smiled angelically as her daddy gave her a kiss on the nose then waited for me to position myself so that she could kiss my stomach , and then I reached down to kiss her forehead.

"Goodnight Princess, sweet dreams." As me and her daddy reached the door of her room and switched off the light, we heard her small voice,

"Night night Mummy and Daddy."
