August's P.O.V
5 years go by in a flash.... one moment you're in highschool just trying to graduate and than the next your out getting a degree for what you want to do with your life.... and honestly it's a bit terrifying. Especially when so much has changed for all of us....
"August!" I heard a frustrated yell from the other room. I rushed to the other bedroom seeing Melanie laying on her back on the bed, her hands places gently on her large stomach. "What's wrong?" She turned he head to stare at me.."I can't get up..."
She reached towards me as I sighed softly and made my way towards her, slowly I lifted her up as she groaned "I blame you...." She said to me once I finally sat her up. "It takes two to tango..." She playfully hit my shoulder "Yeah! But you don't have to carry a human being in you!" I laughed softly and pulled her closer to me "yeah... yeah you love me and our daughter..." I rubbed her stomach.
She slowly leaned against me "I do..... giving life is hard..." I laughed nervously "this isn't the worst part...." her eye's widened "She's gonna tare me apart!" She groaned softly and wobbled away to the bathroom.
It's been around almost 7 months since she told me she was pregnant... well she didn't tell me I found out on my own and I'm so telling our daughter everything when she's born!

Melanie's P.O.V
Harper simply pulled me in to the bathroom and skimmed through the plastic bag pulling out a test "No! I'm not pregnant!? I'm only 22! I'm to young!"
I started panicking as Harper opened the test from its packet "It's just to be sure.... here I'll wait outside..." She handed me the test and left leaving me in her fancy ass bathroom. I looked at my stomach in the mirror and to the test in my hand "fuck it...." carefully I followed the instructions to the test and took the three that Harper bought and sat and waited. When the timer went off I looked at one test and flipped it over... negative than the second positive and than the last one positive. Fuck....
I opend the door holding the tests and like she said Harper was there. Without a word I showed her the tests and she yelled "Holy shit!" Noah turned to us confused before seeing the test "Oh shit!" I stayed frozen before breaking down "this is not happening! I'm still in college and August barley is getting used to his new job!" I felt the world around me spinning which only worsened when my brother walked out of a room.
"What's happening?" I looked straight at him "I'm pregnant...." His eyes widened "oh..... does he know?" I shook my head.... I'm doomed...
~~~
It's been 2 weeks and with my brother finally visited a doctor and apparently I'm 8 weeks along. During the car ride home I poked my stomach and stared at the photos. "They looks like a bean..." Ryder laughed softly "it's still soon..... you need to tell him..." I stared out the car window to upset to speak. "We're both 22 and he's barley getting used to his job. We don't have a proper income to support them! Or a house we still live in a single bedroom apartment! And I'm barley getting my mental health to a better state!"
I buried my face in my hands slowly crying. "That's true but..... you have our family, once you explain it there will be a solution and we can all fix it together...." I felt the car stop and slowly lifted me head. "I know...." With that I left the car to my apartment. It's still early so August won't be back until later.
From no motivation I threw everything on the couch and just made my way to the bedroom to sleep everything away.
But of course it didn't last when I was awaken "What's this?" In front were the picture I had from the doctors office... fuck... "I can explain..." "You're pregnant?" I nodded my head refusing to look up at him. But I didn't need to cause I felt him slowly pull me into a hug. "Hey... it's fine.... we're fine we got this! You love kids and so do I we're just beginning and that's okay cause we have each other..."
I nodded and buried my face into his chest, he was right but we both can worry still.

August's P.O.V
"Oh god! Start the fucking car! And get the hospital bag!" Was all I heard as Melanie wobbled her way out of the bathroom with water dripping from her. "Oh shit! Already? We had another week!" She pulled on some other clothes. "The doctors don't tell her when to come she does!" I quickly rushed to get the stuff as Melanie wobbled to the car with the bag.
~~~~~
I'm thankful to not have to give birth but I still feel bad. We've been in the hospital for a long time and finally a tired Melanie holding our daughter as our friends and family observe the bundle of joy.
"She looks like a potato..." Calum commented as Oliver nudged him. "Don't say that she's cute!" Melanie laughed softly. I simply shook my head "so what's her name?" Miles asked as he stood next to Casey and his parents. I looked at Melanie as she looked up at me with a small smile.
I faced everyone "Elena.... Elena Harriet Anderson Moreno..." Melanie's dad looked a bit surprised "Harriet? Like... Henry..." He laughed softly catching on to her names meaning. "Yeah like my dad Henry..... he would have loved you little one..." Melanie snuggled our daughter as I looked at the people around us.
My dad and brother Calum who was now 13 and just as childish, always have stood by my side. Next to him was Oliver who's still shy and silent but clearly will always support us. Then Miles and Casey their a strange pair, undecided but they work as to balance one another, always know what to do. Then Melanie's parents still as happy as always and that powerful air around them and our biggestsupporters. Harper and Raine still have a iffy friendship but they share common intrest to make a difference together with the groups.
Ryder and Noah... always knew they would end up together and they have, just didn't expect them to be so involved during the pregnancy. I felt my eyes fall back on Melanie and Elena. I never thought life would be like this.... but I'm glad it did cause now I have a family and all these friends that I couldn't see my life without them....
When they all left it was just us three "She's so peaceful when she sleeps..." I laughed softly as I cradled the baby who slept "of course but just for now...." She laughed as well and her eyes meet mine. "Thank you...." I looked at her surprised "Thank you from staying with me so long to have such a precious family...." I smiled warmly at her "and thank you for loving me and seeing me much more than your special little friend... and for our daughter" she smiled warmly up at me.
5 year and so much has change but I would never have regretted it even with all the things we struggled with to get here it was worth it in the end......
