*Hollis POV*

I puffed out another ring of smoke. "Come inside baby." Harry said wrapping his arms around me.

"When I finish this cigarette." I said.

"Can I have one?" He pouted. I handed him a cigarette from my pack. "Thank you baby." I handed him the lighter and he lit it quickly, and handed both the pack and the lighter back to me. I finished my cigarette and stomped on it.

"After you finish, we'll go inside and watch something." I said.

"Quick question, how have your parents not seen you smoking?" He asked.

"I really don't know. I lock myself in my bathroom when I'm about to smoke." I shrugged. Harry threw his cigarette on the ground and I stomped on it. I turned around in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you." He smiled looking into my eyes.

"I love you." I laughed pressing a kiss to his lips.

"Hollis. Get inside." Someone said causing me to jump.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Yes, now go inside and up to your room. I need to have a talk with your mother." He said stepping out of his car. I nodded and grabbed Harry's hand and ran inside. I walked up to my room dragging Harry behind me.

"The appointment is tomorrow." I mumbled.

"What? I couldn't hear you." He said sitting on my bed. I took a deep breath in.

"The appointment, it's tomorrow."

*Lukes POV*

"Luke! I thought I lost you. Do you know how much sleep I have lost thinking about you?" Reina cried.

"I'm sorry." I said taking her hands in mine. "I wasn't the same without you."

"Are you here to stay?" She whispered through tears.

"Yes baby, I'm here to stay." I smiled tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. She broke out into a smiled and threw her arms around me. I laughed through my tears and rubbed her back.

"I'm so happy you're back." She mumbled into my chest.

"It was so hard leaving you. I worked way to hard to get here with you, I can't just forget about what we had and what we have. I'm sorry for saying that about our kids. You know I would never mean that. I love you and them so much." I said squeezing her tighter. I pulled away from the hug. "How much sleep have you gotten?"

"I can't sleep all night so about three to five hours if I'm lucky. Then a hour nap when the kids are at school." She shrugged.

"How much sleep did you get last night?" I asked worried.

"None. I couldn't even take a nap today." She whispered.

"Okay." I said picking her up.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Your going to sleep." I said walking up the steps.

"Luke I'm fine, really." She said.

"No. You're going to sleep. I'll be right next to you when you do that to." I smiled at her.

"Are you going to sleep to?" She asked.

"Yes baby." I smiled rubbing her back.

When I woke up, I looked at the clock it was seven at night. I stood up and walked into Hollis room. I the door was locked. I grabbed the key and unlocked it. I walked in and saw her bathroom door opened. I poked my head into the bathroom and saw Hollis and Harry smoking. "Hollis Charity!" I screamed.

"Shit." She said.

"What do you think you are doing with a cigarette!" I screamed.

"Dad, I'm seventeen! I can do what I want!" She cried.

"You're still a child until you are eighteen!" I said. "Are you pregnant?" I asked picking up a box of pregnancy sticks.

"No." She mumbled.

"Hollis, I know when you're lying to me." I said.

"Fine. I am pregnant but I'm getting an abortion tomorrow." She said crying.

"No. You got pregnant, now you must take care of your child. What do you think your mother did when she found out she was pregnant with you?" I asked her.

"Well obviously she didn't get an abortion." She said crossing her arms.

"Exactly. So neither are you." I told her.

"But dad, I have a scholarship to Manchester. Having a kid will ruin that!" She screamed crying.

"Maybe you shouldn't have gotten pregnant!" I said.

"It was a mistake! I was drunk and high!" She cried.

"So now you're drinking, doing drugs, and pregnant. How will your mother react to this?" I asked her.

"She can't find out. Dad, please!" She begged.

"Hollis, this was your fault. I'm not going to tell her, you are. As soon as she wakes up to." I said crossing my arms.

"Dad, I can't. She'll never speak to me again." She cried. I thought this whole situation over.

"Fine. You don't have to tell her. Go get the abortion and live your life at college in Manchester." I said.

"What's the catch?" She sniffled wiping away her tears.

"I'm not supporting you at college." I said.

"Will you hate me for the rest of my life?" She started crying again.

"No. I can never hate my first baby." I started crying now. "Is Harry taking you to the appointment tomorrow?" She nodded. I pulled her into my arms and squeezed her tightly.

"I love you dad." She cried.

"I love you too, Holli."
