"we can get through anything"

tylers pov

by the time we finish in the office and told everyone, its 9pm and they'd all gone upstairs leaving me and jody sitting hand in hand on the sofa, her clutching her necklace and head rested in the crook of my neck. 

"you okay?" i whisper. shes lost in her own mind, looking rather sheepish.

"scared" she answers after a few seconds "what happens when-" she doesnt even manage to finish when we hear a car pull up outside "who could that be at this time of night?" i get up and look out the blinds to see a car on the drive. may-li is in the office and scott has gone home, he went ages ago and its not his car anyway. i see a man get out and walk up to the house, a man that looks a lot like- "mike's here" i turn to look at jody and she smiles.

"ty you were a good prankster when we were younger but we're 18 now, get real" she laughs, rolls her eyes and walks over to the window, looking out.

"see for yourself then eh?" i smirk and go back to sit on the sofa, arms folded. she spins round and does the eye-roll thing again. she then walks over to the front door, undoes the latch and waits for no more then a second till our ex-careworker was engulfing her into a huge hug. i see may-li's head turn and crack a small smile then carry on doing paperwork. "hey jody!" he shouts but quiet enough not to get the kids down. he then looks on into the front room to see me sitting on the sofa. "tyler! heard you were back from saint lucia, thought i would come visit!" he walks through and perches on the arm of the sofa opposite.

"i also believe you two have some news to tell?" he raises his eyebrows and looks between us. i dart my eyes away from him and straight to jody then giving her a nod to say "your telling him" with a small grin to the fact i dont have to break the news. she walks towards the sofa we were sitting originally and before she could even open her mouth i hear mike.

"pregnant guys? really? yeah your adults, well kind of - tyler" the eyebrows go up again, yawn. "but that doesnt mean you can do unsafe things! especially in a house full of kids! you do both realise the severity of what you've done, yes?"

"mike come on! we know what we've done yeah, but it cant change anything. its hardly like we've gone out and done drugs is it?"

"no, its worse. this is a living human being. may-li told me you wanted to keep it yeah? if you want to keep it that means dedication and commitment. that means getting literally no sleep for months on end, it means having to buy equipment, toys, food, furniture, a flat of your own! and on top of that growing up, sticking together and endless other things! in 9 months time your going to be parents, your going to be the mum and dad of a child! i-"

"mike?" may-li calls out "you busy?" mike sighs and whispers that he'll be right back.

what mike was saying made sense, i just think i needed to hear it the way he put it. today, for the whole day, me and tyler have had shocked and angry faces at whatever came out of our mouths. now, mike was making it set in by talking, not shouting. something i love about mike, he understands us but is firm as well. "you thinking about what he said with the whole parents thing?" tyler stares at me, biting his lip. im zoned out though so i just nod.

"ty?" i whisper so quietly i cant even hear myself so when he looks up, im taken aback by how he actually did.

"mhm?"

"do you think we really are 100% ready for this?" at this point im looking directly at him. shooting forwards, tyler takes both my hands. "listen, we are going to be just fine. we can get through anything. this baby and the whole flat business is not going to effect this relationship badly at all. thats a promise, yeah?" he strokes my thumb with his.

"i guess" i mumble, looking down at our entwined hands. he shakes his head, smiling to himself. "no jody, listen to me, we can get through anything" unexpectedly, he then grabs me and gives me the biggest hug, another thing i love about tyler, he never fails to make me smile. no matter what it is, the outcome to any situation always ends with me smiling.

"lets go up now, its getting late" he whispers in my ear and i nod, pretty tired anyway.

as we walk over to the stairs, hand in hand, a memory comes flooding back to me. "remember like 3 months before you left we had that ceilidh thing?" he stops in his tracks, looks down at me thoughtfully and nods slowly "yeah i remember that" 

"i didnt mention it then but when you were doing your speech you said "to see her was to love her, love but her and love forever"" i revive the line back "and then you looked straight at me" i grin up at him and he looks as though hes about to burst out laughing "i do happen to be able to remember doing something like that yeah" he nods and smirks. "though you got to remember that in your speech you said that "some of us think we know everything", which is true, some of us do know everything" i roll my eyes and walk upstairs.

we go on about stuff both of us had said or done or things someone in the house had. one that sticks out to both of us was the kids in care dinner/sophie/the wedding thing and the twins and floss watching as we were about to leave, when tyler leans in to kiss me and i laugh it off. also the time i realised i liked him only i didnt want him to know so we tried getting him a girlfriend, sophie, only it hadnt worked so i brushed off the whole thing. it didnt make sense to me at that moment of my life to fall for my best friend, especially knowing that if it didnt work out i would lose him, forever. although looking back, i needed to stop worrying, we admitted to each other four and a bit years ago and have been together three, the prom night, possibly ending up to be one of the best nights of my life.

at this point we're already outside my room, ending off the day together. just how i like it. "see you then" i open my door and grin back at tyler. i had never really taken it into account properly but i then realise how lucky i am to be living so close to my best friend. its actually everything to me. "tomorrow, same time" he whispers and walks off to his room. i then slip into mine and flop onto my bed. its really weird to say it but tyler going to saint lucia for 2 years without me was probably one of the best decisions we'd ever made, it made our friendship and relationship so much stronger. because now we know, no matter where we are in the world, together or apart, we're always going to be there.
