The Love You Give

Meant to Be

Ezra walked into the room shocked to see them all. They could tell by her eyes that she'd been crying. "Baby girl, please don't cry." Ezra sighed before closing the door. "How can I not cry? We might be pregnant! We're 17! We're not ready!" The tears began to stream. "Princess, breathe. Yes, we're 17, but we can handle this together. We're here to love and support you. That's not going to change." He wiped away her tears and gave her a breathtaking smile. "I don't want to ruin your futures." Jace scrunched up his nose. "Ezra, you are our future." Jacob spoke up pulling her into his embrace. "We love you, baby girl. No matter what happens." Ezra nodded her head before removing the test from her hoodie pocket. "I'm going to go take this now." The guys all fixated on the blue and white pregnancy test before watching her enter the bathroom door and close it.

The boys took a few moments to breathe. "We can do this. We can and will support her and our child." Jace spoke up. Jackson and Jacob nodded in agreement. "I hope it's a girl." Jackson said. "I don't care what it is as long as it's healthy," Jacob sighed sitting on the bed. "I want to marry her. We should marry her." Jackson spoke up. "We're 17." Jackson shrugged. "We love her don't we. This has nothing to do with the baby and everything to do with the fact that she's our everything." Ezra listened to the guys talk and couldn't help but smile. She was crying for a different reason this time. For starters, as soon as she sat down to take the test her period had started. Secondly, hearing her men declare their love and plans for her and their child did something to her.

She washed her hand before hiding the test under her sink. She opened the door and all chatter ceased. "Well, Princess, are we going to be Daddies?" Ezra smiled at them telling them nothing. "You will be Daddies...at the right time, but that time is not now." She smiled widely. Jacob let out a huge breath. "Oh, thank God!" Ezra laughed at him. Jackson pulled her in for a big hug. "Are you okay?" He asked looking down at her. Ezra nodded before pulling back and looking at Jace. "Jace, babe, are you okay?" He shrugged looking down. "I wanted it. I wanted a baby with you." Ezra walked over to him before caressing his cheek. "I strongly believe we'll have one, love. When we're older and ready. I'm still in the system, Jace and your parents still don't know about us let alone a pregnancy. It will happen when it's right, okay?" He gave her a small smile before kissing her lips.

They stared at one another before they heard a piercing cry. Ezra had completely forgotten about Janelle with the thoughts of a real baby on her brain. "I got her," Jackson spoke up grabbing the half-filled bottle. He picked up Janelle and began feeding her before looking up at Ezra. "For now, I'm satisfied practicing." Ezra shot him a wide smile before yawning. "You need to get some sleep, Princess. You've had a long day." Ezra nodded before kissing him once more. She walked over to Jacob and gave him a deep kiss. "I know I freaked you out and I'm sorry." He shook his head. "It was a shock, but the end result would've been the same. Where you go, I go. Baby or not." She stroked his cheek before moving to change into some pajama pants and a tank top. The guys watched as lust filled their eyes. "Really Jackson? You're feeding your daughter for goodness' sake." Ezra scolded with a laugh.

"You're right, baby girl. I can't help that you're so sexy though." Ezra rolled her eyes getting into bed. "Don't forget to burp her." Jackson nodded as Janelle finished up her bottle. "Sweet dreams, sweetheart." Jacob kissed her forehead before walking out. "I love you, Princess." Ezra pulled him down for a kiss. "I love you more." They heard a belch and chuckled before sharing one more kiss. "Goodnight you two." Jace closed the door behind him leaving the new parents alone. "How much sleep do you think we're going to get?" Jackson asked as he stripped down to his boxers and got in bed. He had placed Janelle on her baby blanket on the couch. "I foresee us waking up every hour." Jackson sighed. "I hope not. Janelle's been a good baby. We'll have to change her diaper in a few, but other than that I think it'll be smooth sailing." Ezra hoped he was right.
