< Saturday, 31st >

{ Calum }

"You almost-" I spoke as I walked in my room but stopped when I saw Adley laying on the bed, eyes closed and her hands on her stomach,

"You okay?" I asked, leaning down and kissing her head,

"My stomach is turning" she groaned, opening her eyes and moving her hands, "I haven't been sick lately so this came out of nowhere"

"Quite making Mommy sick" I spoke against her stomach. Adley laughed and ran her hand through my hair,

"I can call Mike and tell him we're just gonna stay home" I suggested. Us and our friend group were supposed to head over there just to hang out,

"No, I want to go. Just give me a few" she told me and closed her eyes. I nodded and grabbed my  phone to shoot Michael a text,

-messages-

[ We'll be a tad late. Adley's
finishing up an assignment ]

Mikey: [ no worries man! ]

————

"You didn't tell him why did you? I thought we were keeping this quiet for a week or two more" Adley panicked,

"I told him you were finishing up an assignment" I calmed her. She nodded then slowly got out of bed,

"I think I'm going to try and take a quick shower" she stretched out and headed towards the bathroom but stopped in the doorway and looked back at me, "Join?"

"Of course"

****

I pulled into Michael's driveway and parked behind Ashton's car. I got out first and walked around, opening the door for Adley to get out,

"What if they ask me why I'm not drinking? I can't use the underage excuse because I usually do drink" she held my hand tightly,

"Just tell them you don't really feel like it. They probably won't even ask" I assured her. She nodded and I opened the back gate to Michael's backyard.

"Hey!" Ashton cheered as we walked over. Adley took a seat and I grabbed a White Claw for myself and a water for Adley then joined her,

"Hey guys. Sorry we're late" I laughed,

"No worries" Crystal waved it off, "Did you get your assignment done?"  she then asked Adley,

"I did" she nodded and let her head hit my shoulder.

It was dark outside and slightly chilly so it didn't surprise me when Adley basically curled under my arm,

"How's everyone been? I feel like we haven't seen each other" Sierra asked,

"Pretty good" KayKay shrugged, "Not too busy"

****

The girls were all still out by the fire pit and the boys and I headed inside so Michael could show us something he thought up for a new record,

"Dude that's sick" Luke grinned as Michael played us a track,

"It's just an idea to build on" he shrugged,

"I think it's really good dude" I smiled,

"God I can't wait to start touring. What's the schedule now? We start in April?" Ashton spoke,

"Yeah. Hopefully we don't have to move it" Luke nodded. I was about to agree when I realized Adley's going to be very very pregnant,

"Fuck" I mumbled, "We gotta move tour"

"What?" Michael's eyes furrowed,

"Adley will be eight months pregnant! The baby could come at any time at the point" I yelled them I realized, I spilled the secret,

"Adley's pregnant?" Ashton asked,

"Fuck" I groaned, "You aren't supposed to know. We didn't want to tell anyone until after our next appointment"

Adley's going to murder me,

"That's why she's not drinking" Luke put it together, making me nod,

"Well congrats man" Michael hugged me, followed by the others,

"Are you excited?" Luke asked,

"Yeah. But we're nervous. What if something happens and we lose our second baby?"

"Don't think like that man. Everything will work. And we will move tour. This is more important"

****

We headed back outside and I sat next to Adley, leaning over to her to whisper,

"I told them by accident"

She looked at me and nodded,

"It's okay" she whispered, "I had a feeling that would happen. Do you want to tell the girls?"

I nodded and cleared my throat to get everyone's attention,

"So, I told the guys inside but I, we, want you girls to know something" I started and looked at Adley,

"I'm pregnant"

The girls immediately squealed and jumped up to hug Adley,

"What? How far along?" Sierra questioned,

"Twelve weeks on Monday. We weren't going to say anything but Calum just told me he let it slip to the boys" Adley chuckled,

"Oh my god! I'm so happy for you! When are you due?" Crystal gushed next,

"May seventeenth" Adley chuckled,

"But don't say anything yet. We haven't even told our parents yet" I added,

"No no. We won't" KayKay assured, then bounced up,

"I call babysitting every time"

"Deal"
