Katie P.O.V

"And your sure that everything is fine?" Brad asked down the phone for the millionth time. It was currently 6:30 am and I'd just been woken by the most excruciating stomach cramps. I woke Brad in a panic but luckily they went within half and hour however Brad still felt the need to ring the doctor to check if it meant there was a problem. This time yesterday he didn't even know I was pregnant.

"Okay thank you, see you next week" he replied before hanging up the phone and walking over to the bed where I was led down and he sat beside me.

"The doctor said that it's nothing to worry about, just normal pains that everyone gets" Brad said to me.

"I told you it would be fine" I replied as I sat up and turned to face him.

"I know but I just wanted to check, am I not allowed to be worried"

"Of course you are" I said before leaning forwards and kissing him, "but you don't need to be"

"I just, I feel like I need to make up for lost time"

"That's my fault not yours" I said in attempt to reassure him, "I was the one who kept it from you"

"But you wouldn't have done if i wasn't so harsh"

"You don't know that" I said, even though I knew he was right.

"Yes I do Katie, if I hadn't of said those things to you about not wanting kids you wouldn't have been scared to talk to me about it"

"I wasn't scared to talk to you, I was scared that you'd hate me when you found out the truth"

"Well I don't hate you, I could never hate you. I've realised now that maybe I was wrong" Brad smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I don't want this to be just a phase, this is for life now and I don't want you to realise that at some point and change your mind. I couldn't cope if you left me and.."

"Katie" Brad said cutting me off as he rested his hands on my shoulders, "I won't okay, I know this is for life which is why I was so scared of it but that was before it actually happened. I love you okay and nothing will change that, I promise that I'm not going anywhere" he added before lightly kissing my forehead.

"I'm sorry I'm just paranoid"

"Don't apologise, I haven't exactly been the easiest person to live with" Brad said laughing slightly.

"Yeah but neither have I" I laughed in reply.

"So your sure your okay?" Brad asked.

"Yes Brad I'm fine, stop worrying about me and instead get ready for work"

"I don't have work today"

"You don't? I thought Saturdays were promo days?"

"Well not today, Joe said we had nothing planned"

"Oh right okay"

"So today can be a movie day" Brad smiled as he pulled me into his side.

"Umm I need to go to work" I sighed.

"What? Why, it's Saturday?"

"Because I have so much paper work to catch up on and I thought I could do it today as I assumed you'd be at work too"

"Can't you just leave it and do it during the week?"

"I can't, I've got loads of single lessons in the evening for those with gradings coming up, I don't have time"
