It's Ok To Be Yourself

14

I woke up a few hours later to cheering downstairs, I tiredly shuffled off of the bed and down the carpeted stairs. I still had my blanket around me like a cape. Yawning, I went to my cheering boyfriend and sat next to him. He turned and looked at me gently picking me up and placing me in his lap gaining a laugh from Kian.

"I know he's yours dude, no need to remind me" Kind joked.

I smiled slightly and Luke was blushing. I kissed his cheek and watched as the older male's played games.

I suddenly had a thought that Paige should be dead a long with Rip-off Ed Sheeran. I turned on the news on my tablet, "Two people found injured in a house fire! Fortunately, they both survived with minor injuries, Mrs Morris and Mr Morris ended up getting a divorce and Mrs Morris went back to her ex-husband is now called Mrs Howard once again, Mr Howard stated, 'My mansion will go to my daughter Marley"

I quickly turned off the tablet and gasped, Luke came running in and Kian followed soon after.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked.

"They're back together.. and he said he'd never be like her and then goes and calls me his 'daughter' and 'Marley'" I answered. Luke sighed and hugged me.

"Wait you're trans?" Kian asked. I slowly nodded my head, "that's cool dude"

"How else would he be pregnant idiot-" Luke said earning a 'that's true' from Kian.

I smiled slightly and hugged Luke back, I felt him place a kiss on my head while his hands slowly went up and down my sides comfortingly.

"At least he gave me his mansion-" I sighed.

"WAIT WHAT?!" I flinched at Luke yelling, "sorry.. but what? Imma pack my bags Luke you gonna live here or with us?"

"I'll stay here, look after the place you know. Plus you and Toby get some alone time if you know what I mean" Kian said with a wink at the end.

"No my ass still hurts from the first time- plus ur forgetting that I'm pregnant" I said looking at Luke's smirk.

"Wait when did you-?" Kian asked.

"Few mornings ago before you first arrived" I innocently told him.

Luke let out a soft laugh at that, I put my head on his chest and felt it vibrating as he was laughing. I closed my eyes and listened to his steady heartbeat, I let myself relax in his grasp and he could tell too.

"Welp, I'll go pack our stuff" I told them both, Luke went to object but I went before he could say anything.

I packed all of our stuff and headed down. We both said our goodbyes to Kian and we left. Luke drove since I didn't have a licence, so I told him the way.

After a few minute drive we made it to the mansion, of course my parents were there.

'They tricked me...' I thought.

I was mad, angry, upset and once again betrayed.

"Hello Marley" Paige said to me with a cheeky smirk.

"Get out.." I said boldly.

I watched as they sighed and left, I saw that Paige had a match, I pointed it out to Luke and he gave me a suttle nod. When they left they had dropped the match, I went to the door secretly putting out the match and waving to my 'Parents' then flipping them off.

I closed the door and turned around to see Luke a few centimetres away from me, I flinched as he came closer and pinned me against the wall with my arms above my head, "L-Luke" I stuttered, "Let me take you to my room"

He smirked and let me go, I guided him towards my room and I lay on my bed. As the big child he is, he jumped on the bed, "We're not gonna do anything we're gonna cuddle 'cause it's not safe since you know" He said rubbing my stomach.

"Doesn't mean I can't have kisses" I said proudly pretty much asking for a kiss. He sighed and went a long with it and kissed me softly. I smiled as we both pulled away.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked.

"Cuddle!" I said tiredly, He smiled and I placed my head on his chest. He wrapped his arm around my waist protectively and held me tight. I smiled as I finally let the sleep I hadn't of had for days catch me and force me into a deep slumber.

I realised that Luke wasn't underneath me anymore, "Baby?" I mumbled without thinking.

"Was that the first time you called me a pet name?" He asked me teasingly, I rolled my eyes but nodded my head. He smiled proudly and handed me some chicken nuggets, he obviously knew me too well.

I happily ate them and watched 'Little Women', I couldn't sit still I was constantly fidgeting.

I ended up (somehow) upside down, my legs were leaning up against the wall and my head to my hips were laying on the bed.

Luke walked back in from going to the toilet and rubbed my arm that was above my head a little before sitting next to me. I looked at the now empty container and put it on the floor, I sighed and went back to sleep too tired to do anything other than sleep of course. That birthday was my favourite birthday and day I've ever had in my life. All thanks to Luke and my best friend Kian.

I woke up to the light pouring into the room from the blinds I mumbled something as I rolled onto my side, I was too tired to realise that 1) Luke had changed me and 2) I wasn't in the position I fell asleep in meaning Luke must have moved me. I looked at the empty spot with a fresh indent of another persons body who I knew it was Luke's.

I heard the shower running and soft humming coming from Luke, I smiled and wrapped the blanket around me as if I were a burrito.
