More Than Just One Night

The Next Step

Y/N fell asleep not long after finding out the baby was his during his high state. Lizzie is holding his hand rubbing her thumb over his knuckles as she smiles softly at him.

"You're falling for him."

"What?"

Lizzie looks away from Y/N's sleeping face to look at Scarlett. 

"You like him."

"Don't be stupid."

Lizzie looks back at Y/N as Scarlett watches her with a raised eyebrow. 

"Okay maybe I am but we don't know how everything is gonna go with the baby, I don't want to mess things up."

"Lizzie. It's Y/N, the poor guy has been in love with you since he asked you to dance at the club."

They both chuckle before Lizzie notices his eyes opening.

"Hey," she whispers softly with a smile.

"Lizzie? What....what happened?"

"What do you remember last?"

He holds her hand before moving it over his eyes to block out the light and turning his head in her direction.

"I pulled out of my parents driveway then some guy warned me about the cops and.....I don't remember.....something hit my bike...."

"It was Robbie."

"Your ex-husband?"

"Yeah, he warned me about talking to you. I'm really sorry this happened to you Y/N, it's all my fault and...."

Y/N could tell she's getting worked up. He pushes himself to sit up hurting his hand but his focus is Lizzie who has started to cry.

"Lizzie, look at me please."

She looks up into his eyes.

"It is not your fault."

"But-"

"No. You can't blame yourself and you can't be worked up over this, it happened but I'm okay. Come here."

He moves over in the bed patting it and she climbs up snuggling against him making him smile as he rubs her back. 

They lay down as he runs his fingers up and down her back. She looks up at him once she's calmed down, noticing the odd look on his face. 

She reaches up cupping his cheek which makes him look down at her. She smiles softly which he weakly returns.

"What's going on in your head?"

"Am I going to be a bad dad?"

"What?"

She sits up looking at him shocked.

"Well I missed out on the scan and I wasn't there when you first found out."

"Neither of which are on you. Y/N, you are going to be the best dad any kid could ever get and I can tell that already. You've been driving me to and from work to make sure I'm okay. Not to mention your car is almost full of toys and stuffed animals."

He let a chuckle as she wiped the tear that rolled down his cheek.

"You are also willing to take care of the baby even if it wasn't yours."

He raises an eyebrow confused.

"You said that when you were high on meds."

She laughs as he groans covering his face. She lays down again resting her head on his shoulder and rubbing his chest affectionately.
