Until recently, Felicity and Fabian were busy with things other than babies. They have no idea what awaits them as parenthood approaches. Dyantha comes to lend them a hand. She knows what it takes to have a baby.
The couple has been ‘ dating ‘ since group 7. They had been in an on-again, off-again relationship for years, until they found out a year ago that they still see each other as the love of their lives. But a pregnancy? That was not planned.
“We were happy with it right away,” said Fabian. “I knew right away that I wanted to keep it. I can’t get rid of something like that. I would regret that later,” Felicity adds.

Felicity lives at home with her mother, who also became a mother at a young age. She was 15 years old when the first was born. Despite the conversations about the flowers and the bees, Felicity still got pregnant. Because her mother herself had a lot of shame as a teenage mother, she is happy that Felicity was willing to share the news with her.
There is also work to be done for Dyantha: Felicity finds motherhood so exciting that she is very insecure. “What I hope she can help me with is confidence in parenting. I don’t know what to expect, if I’m going to create a bond [met de baby].”
Those uncertainties are for the show newspresenter also recognizable. She also found motherhood exciting. “I hope I can tell the teenage mother that she has confidence in herself. That everything will be fine with love. Give it time, give it rest and grow in that role as a mother.”

Dyantha also shoots herself when Felicity talks about her fear that she won’t bond with the baby. The pink cloud after the birth of her son Davis was missing from Dyantha. By sharing her story, she hopes she can reassure Felicity that things will work out in the end. Ultimately, Felicity’s concerns are unfounded. There are no bonding problems. “You must be holding her for 22 hours a day,” Felicity’s mother jokes. “I feel a lot of love,” Felicity says.
