The Girl In The Dirty Shirt

Chapter 56

I spent the week by myself without much to show for it; I talked to Liam twice and called Mom and explained that Guigs wasn't such a bad guy, against my better judgement but it made Sally happy.
My morning sickness had come back with a vengeance, making up for the two days I hadn't been sick at all.

The days went by fast; I was so busy with shoot after shoot that I barely had time for anything else. The nights were so slow; I had a hard time getting to sleep and once I was asleep I'd wake up in a cold sweat over some stupid dream I couldn't remember.

Liam came home on Friday afternoon and he looked totally exhausted
He came in the door and dropped his bag in the entryway.

Immediately he wrapped me in a hug and sighed. "I missed you"

I closed my eyes, breathing in his smell and hugged him back just as hard. "I missed you too baby"

We stood wrapped around each other for I don't know how long before we sat on the couch. I sat on the end with Liam stretched out, his head in my lap. I turned on an old movie to watch knowing he wouldn't be watching for very long.
I played with his hair watching the TV and within five minutes he was dead to the world; he probably hadn't slept all week.
I rested my head in my free hand against the arm of the couch before I eventually fell asleep too.

When I woke up the sun was going down, Liam was still sound asleep in my lap. I flipped through channels looking for another movie and came across an entertainment news show instead. I stopped when I recognized Noel.

I thought about waking Liam up, but didn't, just sat and watched the interview myself.
It made my heart race seeing both of them on TV answering the same questions they had a million times before.

"God you're adorable" I muttered to myself watching him.

I looked down at him sleeping in my lap and brushed his bangs off his forehead and then back at the TV.
They were the same person, I was married to the guy on the television screen; that guy on TV was my husband with his head in my lap; and I was pregnant with his baby.

I let out a breath as all of this hit me all at once. Liam Gallagher was my husband.

"Wow" I muttered quietly

He was so young, we both were, the only difference was that he had the world at his feet, already, and this hadn't even really started yet. I was just some girl from Toronto who was lucky enough to have caught his attention for a few minutes. Oasis were going to be massive and that was going to be an even bigger strain on our already ridiculously rocky marriage than the band already was.

"I don't think you realize just how big you're going to be" I whispered watching him sleep

I was fine with being cast off once he'd had enough of the little people, at least I think I would be; I just hope he wouldn't do the same to his kid.

They had the next ten days off and then they were going to Holland,
which meant they would be spending all their time in the recording studio.

I couldn't wait until this album was finished, it was released at the end of this month which meant I would get my husband back, at least for a little while; until this exploded into more than it already had.

Liam came out of the kitchen with a spatula in one hand and pancake batter on his face.

I laughed getting up from the couch. "Babe, you have batter all over your face"

"Yeah" he nodded wiping his hand across his forehead, leaving more batter behind.

"What are you doing?" I laughed again wiping his face off
