he was my dream, and we were his

Chapter 6: he was yours and you were his.

after a very long chat with jack you both set out on plan masons involvement with Ellis. you were stood staring at your scar in mirror, although you recognized the beauty it wasn't something you flaunted every day. after about 10 minutes you finally noticed mason stood at the door. he didn't need to say cause you already knew exactly what he was thinking it the joys of being secretly in love with your best friend. mason just slowly walked over to you standing me behind you, he placed his hands on your waist and placed a little kiss on the tattoo of a heart on your shoulder.

that tattoo meant more to you than it should you and liberty were only sixteen on holiday in Greece when you both bonded over your love for one specific author. colleen hoover. the love heart was a symbol from your favorite novel, it ends with us. most people don't even notice it's there but for some reason mason had always had an obsession with it.

you spent the next two hours curling you long Chesnut brown hair and applying layers of makeup to conceal the 2 hours of sleep a night you were getting. you walked out into the living area in your little dress and mason couldn't keep his hands off you long enough to wait till later he did u right there on the couch that over looked the whole of Manchester. mason was a completely different type of lover compared to jack, jack always had a selfish arrogance about him when it came to sex it was clear he was in it for his pleasure but there was nothing but love with mason. he cared about the little things no other boy would even pick up on like pace, rhythm hand placement and the right things to say. it was euphoric like every ounce of guilt you felt since mason walked through your door and laid eyes upon your perfectly round bump was gone, the worry of how jack will cope around you two was gone.

he was yours and you were his.

before you even managed to put your clothes back on mason came clamoring into the bathroom throwing a pair of his tracksuit bottoms a flimsy bando top at you, "Ellis' temperatures reached 41, we need to hurry up and meet jack at the hospital". your heart dropped, what was he on about there's no way the first time you left him for the night he's ended up in hospital. after 20 minutes you were stuck in traffic and another 20 minutes away from the hospital but jack finally answered his phone, jack immediatly started panicking as he had never spent longer than 3 hours alone with a baby and now he was in hospital alone with one. 

eventually you arrived there was no asking, you just rushed to the panda unit and found Ellis. the minute you pulled him to your chest was the minute you finally breathed. mason followed after you gently tapping jacks arm and beginning to ask him what was wrong. jack began to explain that basically he was feeding Ellis and he wouldn't keep his milk down he kept throwing it up and screaming  so he phoned his mum and she came and took his temperature and it was dangerously high. he rushed him to the hospital and found out he had flu.

luckily, by 3:40 his temperature had come right down and he was looking at being sent home in a few hours. jack had left a few hours before that to prepare for the game, mason however was still sat on the uncomfy chair yawning away, "Mason why don't you go back to the hotel I'll get a taxi back when they send us home , you need some sleep for tomorrow" he looked at you like you had just threatened him, he just shook his head and closed his eyes, you giggled and walked over to sit on his knee. he wrapped his arm around you and pulled you into him, "no babe I'm being serious" he grabbed your chin and, moved your face to look at him "I'm not going anywhere, as much as he would kill me for saying this that babies my family too and I'm not going home until he is strapped into that car seat and coming with us okay, I wouldn't go home is that was our baby so I'm not now". that gave you butterflies and mase could tell. you just buried your head in his shoulder and stared at Ellis sleeping soundly, you could only wish he was actually masons baby. although you wouldn't change it, it was all you could think about.

finally you and mason were allowed to take baby home after another hour. by 5am all three of you were tucked into bed you spooned into mason and Ellis lay Infront of you, that was true happiness.
