Saving Riley

James

"I told you he's probably back here on the phone to Riley" I hear Luke say before he walks into the back of the bus with Theo and John by his side
"What's up?" I asked laying on my bed
It's been 3 days since we left Riley and I fucking hate every second, Riley is keeping herself busy so I don't get to speak to her as often as I would have hoped, with her schedule and mine. It's pretty dang hard
"No Riley?" Theo asked and I shook my head sighing
"Is something going on there man?" Luke asked jumping onto his bunk

"going on where?" I asked
"Like is something up with you and Riley? You've never been this gloomy" Luke said teasing me slightly 
"It's complicated" I said and they all shot me a look
"Dude, we have Theo as a band mate. There isn't nothing more complicated then that" John said making Theo smile
"Thanks John" He said patting his back
Trust Theo to take that as a compliment

"I can't talk about it. I told Riley we wouldn't tell anyone yet" I said and they all looked at us confused
"Oh you are going to have to tell us now!" John said making me prop myself up slightly
"Who are we going to tell? By the time everyone else finds out, we'll be home and we can pretend we didn't know" Luke said making me chuckle
"Promise you won't say a word?" I asked and they all nodded

"Riley's Pregnant" I said making them all smile but go wide eyed
"What!" Theo cheered almost jumping on me
"Why the hell are you on tour with us!" Luke yelled 
"Riley wanted me to go for one last time because when the baby is here" I started
"He can't just up and leave" John finished making me nod in his direction

"Alright, I can see where Riley is coming from but at the same time. You shouldn't be here man" Luke said and I shrugged
"It is what it is, I just hope Riley is sticking to her word" I said looking up at the ceiling
"Her word?" Theo asked
"She promise me she would keep in contact, let me know if anything happens at all. But she's been keeping herself even more busy and I'm worried she's going to over do it" I confessed and they all nodded
"In true Riley fashion" Luke said and I nodded
"How far along is she?" John asked and I smiled
"5 weeks" I said
"so when you get back she'll be 13?" Luke asked 
"14, something about a certain amount of days" I said making them all nod

"Dude you're having a baby" John said making me chuckle
"I'm also getting married" I said and they all widened their eyes again
"You know, I thought John would get married first" Luke said looking towards John 
"Why? He can't even talk to Michelle without going like mush" I said making him glare at me
Before either of us could say anything else, My phone started ringing
I picked it up to see Riley FaceTiming, all the boys chuckled before leaving 

"Hey" I smiled as soon as I saw her face light up the screen
"Hey" She said smiling widely
"I've missed you" I said making her smile even more
"I've missed you more" she answered making me shake my head
"I have something to show you" she said peaking my curiosity

"What's that" I asked before she started to move around until she flipped the screen showing me an ultrasound
"I'm 7 weeks, not 5" She said making me chuckle
"That means" I asked and she nodded
"The night we got engaged" She smiled 
"What a way to kick start the engagement huh?" I asked making her laugh

We carried on talking for a while, it was the longest time I'd been able to speak to her in the last few days
"Have you cracked yet?" She smirked making me look at her confused
"What?" I asked
"have you told the boys?" She asked making my bite back a smirk with widen eyes
"James!" She yelled before laughing

"I figured you would tell them anyway. Do you want me to send you a photo so you can show them?" She asked and I smiled nodding
"Ri" I said gaining her attention again
"I love you" I said making her smile widely
"I love you" She continued with a small giggle

She is definetly the person I want to spend the rest of my life with
