'Are you feeling okay, Court? You look a bit queasy?' Beth asks as she stares across the table at the brunette.
'Mm... Must just be worn out from the travelling.' Courtney replies as she takes a sip of her water.
'Are you sure? You were sick yesterday before we'd even got on the plane and then multiple times throughout the flight... Should you maybe have postponed your flight if you weren't feeling great?' Viv asks.
'I'm fine, I promise. I've just been a bit nauseous lately.' Courtney admits, a small smile on her face as she watches the sudden realisation dawn on the blonde.
'Oh...' Beth says and Courtney nods her head.
'No one else knows but if I'm gonna be spending that much time with you guys then you're going to pick up on it eventually, I guess.' Courtney replies.
'C-Can I ask how far or would you rather we just don't speak about it? I know it must be absolutely terrifying.' Beth says and Courtney nods her head.
'Nine weeks, well nine weeks and two days to be precise... It certainly hasn't been easy, I've been a complete mess. We're getting there though.' Courtney replies. Flicking through her phone gallery, she settles on a picture from the last scan and slides it across the table.
'That was around eight weeks three days-ish.' Courtney says smiling.
'Oh my goodness... So you're what? Five weeks behind me?' Beth asks and Courtney nods her head.
'I knew we were trying again when you told me you were pregnant... We found out in Paris. Our blood tests were booked for the day after we home but I took tests with me and we took them there.' Courtney replies.
'Oh how romantic... Isn't that romantic, Vivi?' Beth says and Viv nods her head.
'Why don't you let us take Bunny swimming for a few hours before Jen gets here? You can go back upstairs and either have a sleep or just chill for a bit?' Viv offers and Courtney shakes her head.
'I can't ask you to do that.' Courtney says.
'You're not asking. We're offering to have her; I know just how rough the first trimester can be, I can't imagine having a three-year-old at the same time.' Beth replies.
'Maybe just for an hour...' Courtney says and Beth nods her head.
'Go on up to the room and get some sleep, Court.' Beth replies.

'Hey...' Courtney says softly as she holds the phone to her ear and resting her head against the pillows.
'Hey, love... How are you doing?' Leah asks causing Courtney to smile.
'I'm okay... I'm just in the hotel room having a lie down while Beth and Viv take Bunny swimming.' Courtney replies.
'That's nice of them.' Leah says and Courtney sighs.
'They know I'm pregnant, Le... I didn't say anything but they just figured it out. I was throwing up in the airport yesterday and then I was so nauseous this morning. It was just so obvious, probably more so now that they've been through it themselves.' Courtney admits, her hand resting on her stomach as she lies on her back.
'Mm... I'm glad they know, love. Means I can worry a little less about you while my mum isn't here.' Leah replies causing Courtney to smile.
'How's camp going? Was your flight alright?' Courtney asks.
'Yeah, it was all fine. The girls all know I'm retiring at the end of the tournament and Alex has announce that she is as well.' Leah replies causing Courtney to smile.
