What?

Michael

Turns out when people get pregnant, they get hungry. Like really hungry. I don't mean Luke hungry, who ironically can eat like he is pregnant, I mean like they eat and eat, but then eat really weird things.

Like Bella right now, is obsessed with carrots. Not that weird right? Wrong.

It is weird when the reason I had to fix the microwave is so she can melt chocolate, mix it with syrup and dip the carrots in. But she won't eat cooked carrots, they have to be raw.

I've always offered to make dinner for Bella, because I'm a good boyfriend that way, but now I can't do it. It's always something really weird and, for me, inedible.

I was all alone in the apartment right now. Bella was with Karlie, her maid of honour, and Luke... well Luke was here but he stays pretty much in his room nowadays. I'm worried. Yeah, I know, I know! It's his own fault and everything, and deadbeat dad's are pieces of shit but he is still my friend. I feel like if I had tried to talk to him some more and maybe understand what he was thinking I could've got it or made him stick around with Karlie. I guess I was too late.

"Hey Luke," I knock on his bedroom door.

"Yeah?" He calls back and I enter. His room is just disgusting now. There are old plates and garbage and clothes lying about the place. The only clean spots are his desk, which is unnaturally tidy and his bed. He was lying on it reading from a text book.

"Hey," I try to avoid staring too long at the mess. I don't even know what half the stuff is. "I'm going to get Bella from Karlie's, do you want anything while I'm out?"

Luke mutters and no and shakes his head, looking back to his textbook.

"Oh, okay." I say back awkwardly and step out. Fuck this is hard.

I walk into Karlie's apartment, well I guess Karlie and Calum's apartment now and call out for Bella.

"Living room!" She calls back so I make my way there.

I open the door and smile. Karlie, Becca, Mia and Bella were all sitting up on the couch as Calum and Ashton sat on the floor. Ashton was trying to get Sophie to take a few steps and Calum was letting Talia run around him and climb up him. It was pretty cute. They were good dads. I think anyway.

"Thanks for letting me know everyone was here." I scoff, flopping down next to Bella.

"I didn't know Ash and Mia were going to be here." She tells me and cradles onto my lap. i instinctively place my hand on her stomach, beginning to rub it gently. There was no bump yet but I know my baby is in there.

"Ugh," Calum scoffs covering Talia's eyes when Bella pecks my cheek.

"Calmum!" Talia whines and starts pulling at Calum's hands.

I know that Talia calls Calum by his actual name. He's told me he hates it but isn't going to tell her who he really is until Becca thinks it's okay. I think he is trying his best not to do anything to piss Becca off.

"So, anyway," Calum rolls his eyes. "Why not call him Calum?" He asks Karlie.

"Because I don't want to call him Calum." She shakes her head.

"Oh come on," Calum please. "Calum Junior could be running around this apartment in five months, we could call him CJ."

Karlie laughs. "Definitely not."

I then get a brilliant idea. "What about MJ?" I ask smiling up Karlie on the arm of the couch.

"Ha!" She laugh.
