The different kinds of love

Chapter 10

Looking up at him she saw he was smiling at her "I love you too Peri" he said "But I thought you just wanted to be friends"

"We've never been just friends though, have we?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well no..." he said nervously and as he went to speak again she interrupted him.

"Just kiss me Tom" she told him "I need you to kiss me"

He kissed her and soon they found themselves laid on his bed; Tom was the first to break the kiss as he breathed the words I love you.

Suddenly she pushed him off of her "I feel sick" she held the back of her hand to her month, trying to calm her stomach "Can you go get me some water?" she asked.

"Yy...Yeah" he answered in a shaky voice as he got up and left the room to get her the water she asked for.

Before he had the chance to get her her water she came running out of his bedroom and promptly went into the bathroom to be sick.

"Peri..." he said as she emerged from the bathroom and he handed her the water "Thanks" she mumbled, taking small sips of the refreshing drink.

"Are you okay?" he asked and the look on his face made Peri realise she had to tell him; he was so caring and he had the right to know.

"Tom..." she breathed, putting her glass down on the counter "You know I text you earlier saying I needed to tell you something..." she trailed off.

"Well the thing is..." she tried to find the words "I wasn't even going to tell you, but you should know, I mean it's not fair on you, I need to tell you, but I'm so scared, it's not like I want this..." she began rambling in a panic.

"Woah Pez, slow down..."

"I..I..I'm pregnant" she stuttered.

She stood there waiting for him to speak but he didn't as he stood there speechlessly.

"What? But, how? You... You can't be" he stammered after a few seconds "Are you sure?"

"YES TOM, I'M SURE" she yelled before running into his room and slamming the door leaving him stood in the kitchen dumbfound.

Meanwhile Leela was walking the short distance to Sienna's flat; she had been trying to get hold of Peri but she wasn't answering so she decided to leave her alone, hoping it would make her see things clearer.

"You're Pregnant" she heard Nico shouting things but the only thing she heard clearly was those words.

Stopping in her tracks she listened from the tops of the stairs.

"Yes she is pregnant and you young lady do not speak to her like that" Patrick said sternly causing tears to pool in Leela's eyes as she lent up against the wall for support.

"No, no, no..." she repeated over and over in her head.

"You're going to have a baby, what about me? This affects me too" she heard Nico shout clearly before a door slammed shut causing her to flinch.

She could hear muffled voices coming from the flat but they became unclear as the wall was acting as a barrier causing her to think the worst.

She tried to concentrate as the tears flowed down her cheeks, unable to think clearly "How do you feel about this?" she heard followed by Sienna's voice, before she could hear what was being said the flat door opposite came open to reveal Cameron.

She quickly got up and wiped her eyes, willing the tears to stop as she looked at him with angry eyes "How could you?" she spat before running off as more tears came cascading down her cheeks.
