"What a pickle. Well we'll talk in the car. See you in a few hours." I end the call. Alfie comes up from behind me and makes me jump.

"Alfie!" I shout. Nala comes running over and jumping up at me.

"Yes little one?" I says in a high pitch girly voice. I giggle and play along

"The Sugg Taxi Services are required once again. From London to the Bed And Breakfast also known as our house." I say in a deep voice.

"Broseph?" He asks

"Broseph" I reply I hug alfie. I pick Nala up very carefully not squishing her pregnant belly and put her in Alfies arms and the flails around until she's quickly back on the ground .

"Do we need to leave soon? And what about Nala?" Alfie says in his normal voice.

"Maybe. I think she should come with us. We can't leave her with your mum in case she starts giving birth. We can stop off on the way and let her out and that jazz." Alfie is walking away into his office and I follow.

"Let me upload this GTA video then I'll pack."

I nod and head upstairs Nala following close on my heel. I lift Nala onto our bed and pull the doggy bag onto the bed. Inside is a packet of poop bags, a lead, a coat, portable water bottle which works likes a guinea and a bed. I unplug our phone chargers and put them in the bag as well. I glance at YouTube on my laptop and open it fully. I look at my last video on my main channel and it was last week, I needed to film another one soon. I switch to my vlogging channel and my last vlog was two weeks ago so I shut my laptop and open my bedside table and grasp my camera. I stroke Nala's head and start my vlog.

"Gooooooooood morning guys! Sorry i haven't been vlogging recently I've been busy with the house 'cause we've just done a whole house clean up and we have thrown away about 6 big bags per room," I perk up and turn the camera around to face Nala, "But look how big Nala is now with her puppies now!" We had decided to have pug puppies and sell them to good loving owners as a way of giving people happiness just like Nala gives us happiness, " So today me and Alfie are going down to London to see Joe, Jim, Louise, Niomi and Darcy and Alfie is just uploading a video so I will vlog, well I'll get Alfie to vlog me in the car. " I end the recording and put the camera in the bag and sling it over my shoulder.

"Come on Nala." I squeal. Nala has some steps at the bottom of our bed so she can get down without jumping and hurting her babies. She walks down and follows me out the room.

Joe POV

____

I lift Layla into my arms and rock her gently to sooth her crying. I slowly stand up not wanting to drop her or hit my head off the slopping roof. I walk at a snails pace to the stairs and butt shuffle down the first set of stairs, then I open the door and walk into Louise's room rocking Layla all the while.

"Louise help. I don't know what she wants." I panicky tell Louise who is tiding hers and Darcy's stuff.

"She is probably hungry Joe ask Jim to make the formula up and then you can come back up here with her and I'll teach you how to feed her, burp her, change her that sort of thing." Louise replies with still cleaning.

"Thanks Louise your the best." I walk out the room gaining little confidence. In the kitchen Jim is filming a 'Baking With Jim' video and has just put a messy looking pie in the freezer. He then walks over to the camera and turns it off.

"Jim I don't think any pies go in the freezer." I laugh. He looks back over to the fridge/freezer and sighs.

"Oh well I can't be bother anymore, Joe. Any way what do you need?"

"Louise said you would make some formula for Layla. I think shes hungry."

"Oh OK, yeah I'll make some for you. I'll show you how to make it."Jim reaches into a cupboard and gets a box of milk powder.

"So you just shake it?" I ask as Jim adds warm water and hands it to me.

"Yep."

"But what about holding her? I can't hold them both."

"You can you have to hold her in one arm with her head in your elbow and then shake the bottle in your other hand. Shall I show you?"

"Would you?" I hand her to Jim who handles her like hes being doing it for a while. He rests her head into his elbow and holds her butt in his hand supporting her then holds the bottle in his other hand.

"See?" He smiles at me.

"Looks like you've been doing it for a while. How old is she?"

"Almost 6 months" Jim hands Layla back to me and I hold her like he did and she snuggles into my shirt and grasps it in her hand and looks up to me and laughs. My heart melts and she starts moving her mouth and making the letter o with her mouth. I start shaking the bottle in my other hand while smiling at her.

"Hello Layla. I'm your daddy." I glance up and smile at Jim. Jim is smiling and his smile widens and i feel another presence in the room.

"Niomi! Hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Jim quickly says. I turn round and Niomi smiles at Layla and walks towards us.

"How is she Joe? Oh I'll have a cup of tea Please Jim."

"She's fine. She is just hungry." I reply as i walk out the kitchen and up into Louise's Room.

"Now fasten that up there and your done," Louise says as the door bell rings, "CHUMMY!" Louise runs down stairs and I follow her waiting for Darcy to plod down the stairs

"Chummy is here Uncle Jim!" Darcy asks Jim who looks very confused

"Yes I think she is." Jim looks at me very very confused. I look down the corridor and Niomi, Louise Darcy and Zoe are in one big hug and Zoe spots me with Layla and instantly removes herself from the hug and walks quickly over to me.

"Joe?"
