46 We Made It

"you got everything you need?" Dom said throwing his hoodie at me for me to put on
"Yep. Checked three times."
"What about your rings?" I pulled the chain out from underneath my shirt to show that I'd put them with my guitar pick "Good to go then"
"Can we get a drink and something to eat at the airport. I feel sick."
"Are you okay. You've been sick for a few days?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit off." He smiled and kissed my forehead
"The minute you say you're not well we will come home okay?"
"I'm just fine." I kissed his cheek and picked up the handle of my case "Cmon."
"Can I just pack something?"
"Sure. I'll meet you down there. I'll let the boys know"
"Yeah. Okay" I walked downstairs to see Adam and Tom fast asleep Mikey stuck between the two of them
"Awe that's so fucking cute"
"For you. At least you can move." I chuckled and moved over to Adam first gently shaking him awake
"Adam honey you gotta get up." I said softly. He groaned but sat up anyway smiling when he opened his eyes to see me "Tom you too. Gotta get up. We are leaving soon"
"Fuck off Lexi" he cursed making me giggle
"Seriously. Get up"
"Make me" I walked over to him and pulled his tired body off the couch and onto the floor "I didn't think you'd do that"
"Don't underestimate me."
"You? Never." I flashed a sarcy grin at him but he grabbed my foot making me squeal
"I see you guys are ready to go?" I turned around to see Dom
"Yeah baby. Let's go"

"I feel sick" I whimpered clutching onto Dom
"Woah baby. You really don't seem too good" I got up and ran to the small bathroom that wasn't too far luckily. Dom was waiting outside of the door for me when I got out looking worried "What's wrong?"
"I don't know" I lied. I did know. But I wasn't an idiot and didn't want to tell him anything in case it fell through once more "What do you think it could be" he handed me a bottle of water and I started gulping it down to try and get the sick taste out of my mouth
"Do you think you could be pregnant" I spat a mouthful all over him choking slightly "Hey don't choke." He waited for me to recover "We didn't use anything in the shower."
"But my period is irregular. I don't even know if I can get pregnant"
"I think we should get a test"
"I'm not pregnant" I said "I'm just fucking sick that's all"
"Whatever" he mumbled. He seemed kind of hurt and that mixed with the sick feeling and the overwhelming uncertainty made me break down "Cmere." He hugged me tight and my stomach only churned more when I heard the attempted stealthy paparazzi photographers. Dom held me close "Fuck off will ya? I'm trying to calm her down" There was a few moments where he didn't say anything but I didn't pay attention to the rest of the noise around me. Just Dom's soft voice when he whispered a calming "Don't worry I sent em away" into my ear.
"Can I talk to anyone else about this? Last time i-"
"Tell whoever you want. In the group of course or people you know will keep it quiet outside of it. I was an arse last time. Not again."
"There's gonna be articles about this online. You being rude to paparazzi."
"Trust me on this. When we tell the BHC they're gonna understand why."
"You love em dont you? Cmon. Let's go do this tour. Do what you fucking love." He smiled and leaned down to kiss me but I quickly put my hand in the way "I've just been sick. Is that wise?''
"Fair enough" he opted for a kiss on the head instead "let's go back to the boys"

"What the fuck?" I mumbled when I realised I was no longer cuddled up to Dom. I was rested against the side of the plane wall instead
"He went to talk to Tom and Adam a few rows back so I ended up here."  Mikey said softly
"Oh. Okay" I decided to cuddle up to him instead.
"What are you doing?"
"Cuddling you. I know you secretly like it." He didn't take any convincing at all and put his arm around me "You're gonna be an uncle, Mike."
"What?"
"You. You're gonna be an uncle. Little baby inside of me" my voice were only tired whispers so no one could hear what I was saying. Just him. "You not happy about that?"
"An uncle?"
"Yeah"
"To a real baby" he was raising his voice a little
"Shh. Quieter. But yeah. I think. I don't know for sure yet but it all points towards it. Been three weeks since we... Yknow." He hugged me tighter to him
"I'm gonna be an uncle" he repeated and I could hear the smile in his voice
"Yeah you are." I mumbled falling back to sleep
"I love ya lex" he said softly "And you too little bean" he whispered tickling my belly slightly
I sniffled slightly feeling emotional "Don't cry sweetheart" His words only made me hug him tighter
"It's fine. Just a bit surprised."
"Yeah. Bad on my part. Should make an effort more." He chuckled slightly "Dom warned me"
"What?"
"Dom warned me that I was the only one left who hadn't caved and gone all soft."
"Can't go back now."
"Go on. Go to sleep. I didn't mean to disturb you."
"You staying for the flight?"
"Yeah. Go on. If you want me to."

"We made it" Dom said softly. The boys had gotten caught up behind so we took the opportunity to go outside and realise where we were
"We did baby" I kissed him softly and we stood there kissing until the boys came a few moments later
"Guys get a fucking room" Michael whined
"Well you did steal her for like half the flight."
"Hey that's not fair. I wouldn't let him go."
"She's got a point." Tom stated "She had a death grip on the poor guy" I smiled smugly
"Alright I get it. Now cmon. Let's go."
