James Maslow Imagines (Clean Version)

Daddy To Be Part 2

“you’re gonna be a dad.” …. He picks you up and spins you around. “Babe! This is amazing news! I’m so happy for us!” You just stand there, confused. You hadn’t forgotten the fact that he cheated on you, how could he just expect you to take him back? “(YN)?” Bella tried to get your attention. “You okay, what happened?” You just backed away from both of them. All the pressure and the two of them hovering over you made you want to leave. You backed up until you ran into the bench making you sit down.

 “he.. he cheated..” Bella looked upset and a little empathetic. James had tears in his eyes, he looked afraid, and you were too. “(YN), please listen to me. What I did can’t be excused but, I promise to make it up to you and this baby. I-I ..” he started getting choked up. “I don’t know if I want you to make it up to me. I don’t know if I want you to help at all..” You say, in a whisper but you knew he had heard you when you heard his sigh, the kind he always had after he found out about how long he’d be out on tour. You kept your eyes down, straight on the Vans, tears forming in your eyes. The silence was long and all you could hear were birds in the park and kids running around.

“Why James?” You wanted to know and to break the silence. “Why did you- how could you just throw us away?” “(YN), I don’t want to say…” “WHY NOT JAMES!,” You yelled, everyone looked at you. How could he, after all he did and you were about to go through, you deserved and explanation. Bella sat by you rubbing your shaking shoulders, trying to calm you down. The tears started to fall, you felt horrible, vulnerable. You wanted to leave, James’ eyes were killing you and Bella was starting to worry you. You got up and you felt dizzy and almost fell. James caught you and lifted you up. “I don’t need you James Maslow, you didn’t when you were cheating on me, not now and not in the future with our kid.” You started to walk, Bella hurried to you and helped you walk, leaving James standing there, tears flowing down his face.

Bella offered to take you to her house which was right across the from the park and away from James. She led you to her guest bedroom where she let you take a nap to think clearly later. The second your head hit the pillow, you fell asleep.

You woke up to a little girl sitting at the foot of your bed. She looked just like James in her eyes, nose and smile. She was probably the most gorgeous girl you’ve seen. “Dad’s home Mommy!” She said, elated that her father was home.

You and your daughter walked down as James came in. He walked over to you kissed you on your forehead. “Hey gorgeous, and little gorgeous.”

“Hi daddy!” He picked up the little girl, about 4, and set her on the kitchen counter. He proceeded to ask her about her day and she responded, licking her lips every time she started a new part of her day, just like her dad. Everything she did was like him, it was remarkable. She had your wavy hair  and little freckles but other than that, she was all James..

You woke up, alone Bella’s guest room. You look to see it was already 8pm, you walk out and see Bella watching tv. She looks at you and clears some room for you on the couch. “hello sleeping beauty!” “Hey.” You respond making your way to the couch. “Thanks for letting me sleep here, I just couldn’t think straight.” “I could tell” She responded, turning off the tv. “Wanna talk?” she offered. You did probably owe her some explanation. You proceeded to explain what had happened to her. She listened carefully, giving you her full attention. You finished with, “I just- I don’t know what to do.” Bella sighed and started,”You want some advice?” you nodded. “I’d talk to James, seriously talk to him about the changes needed to be made, and let him back in.” What!? He broke my heart! He just tore it out and threw it to some blonde chick that he had sex with in our apartment and you want me to forget!?” You were standing up, not being able to comprehend her logic. “Listen (YN), I never said to forget but, forgive him. He loves you, I know he made a mistake but   I know he regrets every bit of it!” You were shocked, she was serious. She wanted you to go back to the man who stomped on your heart. You start pacing.

 “How do I know that he won’t cheat on me again? How can I trust him?” “That’s why you tell him what he needs to do for that to happen,. You-“ You cut her off, “How do I know he’s not just bullshitting me?!” “I’ve been there!” She threw her hands up, tears threatening to fall. “my boyfriend was cheating on me, did he chase after me? No. He didn’t love me, trust me, I’ve gotten good at telling the difference between a bullshitter and a guy who really cares.” You were afraid,  you didn’t want to get hurt. “James is a guy who really cares isn’t he?” you knew the answer was yes. She looked at you with sad all over her face. “You know whether you like it or not that kid’s gonna look a hell of a lot like James.” “Oh I know, I had a dream, it was a girl. She had his eyes, nose and smile, she was just like him.” You then realized not matter where you went, whether back to James or not, he would always be part of your life. You wanted him to a good part, you wanted him there walking in after work at the studio not to see him for weekend visits. You needed him, through the whole thing, you wanted him there. You look at Bella, “Just go, I’m sure he can’t sleep and wants to see you anyway.” You laugh and give her a hug.

 You run out her door and to your little apartment with James. You’re about to reach the door when you look up to see the light on in your bedroom. You were scared to go in considering what happened last time. You go in and walk up to your bedroom. The door is cracked open, you look and see James sitting there, going through the photo album you two had put together for your 2 year anniversary just 3 months ago.

“What cha got there?” You ask, knowing what it was. He looked up at you, tears in his red, puffy eyes. “The two year photo album, ya know, before  I screwed up.” You stand there looking at him. He was sitting there, no shirt probably wear his flannel pj pants he wore to bed a lot. “What are you doing here? Do you need to get your stuff? I can leave-“ “James!” you interrupt, “I just wanted to know something.” “Anything!” he says, hope in his eyes. “Why?” “Honestly, anything I say won’t be a good enough reason, and I also don’t have a reason I can explain. She was at work and just pressured me and told me everything any guy would like to hear. My ego was big, too big that I lost sight of what mattered. If I could I’d take it back, but I can’t. I just hope you can forgive me, maybe let me see our kid a couple times a month. I’ll take whatever I can get (YN)!” He was standing up, by the edge of the bed.

You go over and sit next to him, he sits with you. “I’m so sorry (YN).” He whispers, you grab his hand and fiddle with it. “James, I have one more question..” “Yes?” you could feel him looking at you. “Can you promise me something?” “Yeah, anything!” “Promise to never cheat on me, and our little kid. Promise you won’t make me regret taking you back.” You look up at him, his eyes are gleaming. He picks you up and spins you around saying, “I promise, I promise, I promise! I love you so much and that little Maslow in there!” “We love you too James.”
