The different kinds of love

Chapter 11

Leela ran back to the house with tears falling down her cheeks; Sienna's pregnant the words kept replaying in her mind; oh my god how could I be so stupid? her mind screamed.

Suddenly Nico knocked on the open door causing Leela to turn around; wiping her eyes she forced a smile "Hey Nico"

"Hi" Nico said in her usually cheery voice "Is Peri in?"

"No" Leela said bluntly as she didn't give any explanation to where she was.

"Well do you know where I can find her?"

Leela knew if Peri was where she said she was going then she would want some time alone with Tom, even if she wasn't going to tell him she would still rather be alone, if she felt anything like her when she found out she was pregnant she knew she would just want some time to get her head together at her only pace.

"No" Leela said harshly causing Nico to give her a strange look.

"Okay, well tell her I called" Nico turned to leave as Leela spoke "Tell your Mum congratulations" she said emotionlessly before turning and going upstairs leaving Nico stood their dumbfound.

Nico made her way down the steps and back to the flat as she walked by Cameron "That Leela is well weird" she said as she passed him.

"Wait, have you just came from there?" he asked as he stopped her, looking towards the Lomax house he could see the door was wide open.

"Yeah" she told him.

"How did she seem?" he asked and she just shrugged before walking off.

Back at the dog's flat Tom was stood unmoved in the kitchen, he looked towards the closed door of his bedroom and sighed before walked toward it.

Slowly opening the door he saw Peri curled up on his bed, hearing her soft weeps as she cried to herself.

"Peri" he called, barely above a whisper.

Peri was in the middle of the bed, curled into a ball as she tried to protect herself from the pain.

"Is it mine? Have you been to the doctors? Are you sure you're definitely pregnant?" he asked all these questions as he quietly shut his bedroom door.

Peri sobbed as she sat up, leaning against the wall as she brought he knees up to her chest "I'm sure" she whispered "You're the only boy I've slept with" she told him "I'd say I pretty sure it's yours" she said with slight anger to her tone before glaring at him "And I don't need a doctor to tell me I'm pregnant" she snapped "I did three tests, all positive..." she trailed off as more tears came "Don't worry Tom, I'm not keeping it" she hiccupped through her tears "You're off the hook" she told him bitterly.

He stood near the door trying to get his head around everything she was telling him "What?... No... You, you can't" he stammered "You can't get rid of our baby"

Looking up in suprise she wiped her eyes as she thought about what he had just said "But... you, we... we can't..." she searched for the words but she couldn't find any "Tom..."

He walked over to the bed and took one of her hands in his "Let's have this baby" he spoke with so much emotion it broke her heart.

"Tom, we're kids ourselves, we can't raise a baby" she told him, staring at their joined hands.

"We can Peri, we can do it" he told her, lacing their fingers together.

"We're not even together, it was as good as a one night stand" she told him with a sigh.

"No Peri, I love you, I really do and I should have told you sooner but I was scared. I love you more than anything and I know we can do this together"

Shaking her hand free from his she sat their looking at him, thinking about his words "But..." she began.

"No, just listen... I. Love .You"

She tipped her head back slighty causing it to hit the wall with a small thud "I love you too" she admitted weakly as she squeezed her eyes shut hoping for everything to go back to how it was before as a few tears crept down her cheeks before she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, offering him a small smile.

"I do want this baby" she whispered quietly.
