Good Seeing You Again (You Me At Six Fan Fiction)

Chapter 24

“I said you’re not pregnant.” Dr. Gaskarth said gently with a kind hearted smile. Josh lightly pushed my head onto his shoulder and hugged me a little tighter.I know we’re both young and aren’t in the best position to become parents but that sad sinking feeling was still there in the bottom of my stomach and so was that lump in my throat.

“Come on, let’s get going. Thank you Dr. Gaskarth.” Lis said as she shook his hand again. I still had Josh’s jacket crumpled firmly in both of my hands so I just smiled at him. Josh unwrapped one arm and quickly shook his hand before replacing his arm in its original place. I felt a tear escape and rolled down my cheek. At the same time, I felt a drop of something wet land on the top of my head, yeah, I guess that news kinda upset both of us.

We walked back to the car and climbed in. We remained cuddled up into each other in the back seat as Lis drove us to school. We both wanted everything to go back to the way it was before the pregnancy scare, so school it was then.

“Thanks Lis, we owe you big time. Thank you.” I pulled away from Josh to hug her and kissed her on the cheek. She wiped away a tear than seemed to have escaped. Again.

“Don’t be silly, I’m sorry for the bad news both of you but I suppose it’s for the best at this moment in time.” She returned the hug before I went back to Josh’s embrace.

Luckily, we both had English with Mr. Carlile, so we would be together. Plus, he already knew why we’re late so we won’t get in trouble. We walked into class to have everyone staring up at us. I wasn’t in Josh’s arms anymore, but our hands were still firmly connected and we were standing incredibly close to each other. Mr. Carlile turned around to see who had entered his classroom, as soon as he saw our faces; he smiled gesturing a nod for yes or a shake for no. I shook my head slightly at him. He walked towards us with open arms and eloped us both into a hug.

“I’m sorry guys, but maybe, its fate. It’s telling both of you that you might not be quite ready yet.” His voice was low but gentle.

“Thank you.” We both mumbled before making our way to the back of the classroom and sliding into our seats. Matt and Dan just looked at us. Didn’t say a word, they just stared. Josh moved his desk, which made a horrible noise, so his was right next to mine and took my hand in his again. I got out a piece of paper and started doodling instead of concentrating on Sir. Josh also got out some paper but not for doodling, he was scribbling down something. He slid the piece of paper in front on me.

‘I’m so sorry princess. Even though we agreed that we would be happy whatever the outcome was, I still felt that punch in the stomach when the Doctor told us that I wasn’t going to be a dad or you weren’t going to be a mum at this moment in time. It’s a stupid question… But are you okay? xxxx’ Aww.

‘I’m sorry too. Hey, don’t worry about it; we’ll become parents one day. Don’t worry. And I felt the exact same. Yeah, I’ll be okay xxxx’ I slid the paper back onto his desk to see his eyes light up. We haven’t talked about having children in the future; it was always having children now. I knew how much being a father meant to Josh, but we were only 17 at the end of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to become a parent, but to be honest, right now at only being 17; I don’t think I would be able to cope.

I continued to finish off my drawing; Josh and myself laying on a bed of leaves staring up at the stars, in cartoon style. It was only quick so it was black and white and included a few mistakes. The bell went and I put everything into my bag before I was pulled into a hug from Josh. Again.

“We’re real sorry you guys.” Dan and Matt said together at different speeds. I giggled into Josh’s chest. I pulled away from Josh and hugged both the guys separately.

“Thank you, but we’ll become parents one day. Even if we don’t stay together, we’ll get there in the future so it’s not the end of the world. Thank you though.”

“Who said we won’t stay together?” Josh really did look hurt. I didn’t mean to sound negative but more truthful really.

“No one but you never know what might happen when we leave next year.” I said gently looking up at him before peaking his lips slightly.

We walked out of class holding hands heading to the canteen; we didn’t realise that we were at the clinic so long and it was lunch now. But I did notice Josh nodding at Mr. Carlile and him following us all the way to the hall talking to Matt and Dan. Why was he following us? We sat in our usual table with Chris, Max and Jade already seated. Even Sir sat with us… Okay, this is weird. Josh stayed standing up even when everyone had sat down; my hand was still in his so I was standing up as well.

“Lucie, remember our conversation we just had and you mentioned about that we’ll become parents one day even if we’re not together, well I can assure you now that we’re not going to spilt up. I’m not going through another time in my life where you’re not in it again. I already know that I’m completely and uncontrollably in love with you. I already know that we’re going to have THE perfect wedding anyone has ever seen. I already know that we’re going to become parents and that child will have you as the mother and myself as the father. I already know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you and watch our children, our grandchildren and if we’re lucky, our great grandchildren grow up. I already know that we’re going to die happy and will still be in love with each other like we are now. I already know I’m only 17 and saying all this, but it’s because I know I’m right and I know I want to be with you. I love you Lucie. I. Love. You.” I’ve heard some pretty sweet things come out of Josh’s mouth but that wins hands down, no question about it. He’s right, about everything. I couldn’t see myself with anyone else apart from him. Josh began to get down on one knee while still handing both of my hands. “So after hearing all that, what would you say if I asked you to marry me?” Did I hear that right?

“Josh…” Tears were rolling down my cheeks. Was this the reason Mr. Carlile was here? Why do it at school, in front of the whole freakin’ school?

Was he really being serious?
