AFRAID {a.i.}

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

Song of the Chapter: bodyache - Purity Ring.

Ashton was taking over an hour to get here and I was getting tired. I tried to keep my eyes open but I couldn't. Eventually, I just dropped off to sleep, leaving the TV on.

It wasn't long before a stone hit my balcony door. I groaned and ran to it, unlocking it. I quickly rushed back into my bed and pulled the covers over me. Ashton peeked in and smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and he shut the balcony door, locking it. He threw a shopping bag on my bed and I raised my eyebrow.

"One vanilla milkshake for my lady and some ice-cream for later." Ashton jumped on my bed causing me to fall back a little. He grabbed the milkshake and handed it to me. He had the same. I smiled and took it.

"Thank you." I chuckled and he put the bag on the floor. As he got comfy, I moved closer to him. "You know, there's a front door downstairs for a reason." I nudged his arm and he quickly wrapped it around me. He smirked and looked down at me.

"Yeah, well I'm adventurous, and I like to think of myself as a modern day Romeo." Ashton turned the TV up and I rested my head on his shoulder, laughing.

"So you are saying I'm a Juliet?" I questioned and he shrugged.

"I wouldn't go that far." Ashton cackled and I slapped him. "Right I'll go put this in your freezer because clearly someone's tired." Ashton crawled out the bed and took the bag with him to the door.

"Hurry up, I'm getting bored." I joked and Ashton quickly rushed out. I flicked through the TV channels and landed on the movie channel. Love, Rosie. My favourite movie. I turned it up a little and shuffled down so my head landed on the pillow. The movie was practically half way through, which was annoying but I was willing to cope with that, since I knew what had happened. My focus was lost when I heard a crash downstairs. Oh wow. I stood up and ran out of my room to the stairs. I noticed the guest bedroom door was open and that's when I panicked. I ran down the stairs and straight to the kitchen where I saw Emily with a baseball bat and Ashton crouched on the floor, without the ice cream. I quickly grabbed the bat from behind Emily and she jumped.

"That's Ashton, you moron." I put my hand on my forehead and placed the bat so it leant freely against the wall. Emily's mouth formed into an 'o' shape and she stepped back.

"Well I've never had that response to shutting a freezer before." Ashton stood up and brushed himself off.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I just heard someone and freaked." Emily covered her mouth and I laughed. The look on Ashton's face was priceless. I watched him look at me, glaring.

"I guess you've been acquainted with Emily." I laughed so much that I had to hold my stomach. Ashton glared more but smiled at Emily.

"Hey." Ashton smiled at her and she half waved. She held her waist, nervously, and bit her lip.

"Where did you get the baseball bat from?" I was still laughing and Ashton tried not to, also.

"It was the closest thing to me in my room." Emily shrugged. She looked so scared. I laughed more and she looked around.

"You can calm down now, he won't bite." I pointed to Ashton and he shrugged.

"Well..." Ashton smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm very sorry." Emily apologised and I smiled. She could be so innocent sometimes. "Are you staying the night?"

"Yeah, I am, but if you hear me leave early, don't swing your bat." Ashton's comment made us all laugh. There we were standing in the kitchen, laughing our heads off. It was a few minutes later before we calmed down.

"But yeah... I'm Emily, nice to finally meet the father of my god child." Emily shook his hand as wink. I mentally face palmed.

"We didn't agree to this." Ashton pointed between him and Emily. I shrugged and started walking out. This was tiring.

"Neither did I." I joked and Ashton followed me. Emily flicked the switch and turned the kitchen light off. "Goodnight Emily."

"Goodnight." I walked to my room and crawled back into bed. Ashton closed the door and came in next to me.

"Are you alright?" Ashton asked and I nodded. I turned the TV off and tucked myself in. "I know you're not." Ashton took off his shirt and trousers and got in the bed with me. I felt his arms around me. His chest pressed against my back and his breath was hitting my neck.

"Guess mood swings. I don't know. It's weird." I chuckled and he placed his hand on my stomach. I shivered, causing him to laugh.

"It's cool though. Like our baby is there and we get to you know, teach him or her to swim, to ride a bike, to play sports. I'll help them with their homework." Ashton smiled and I held his hand. He kept his hand on my stomach and I could see how fascinated he was.

"How can you help him or her with theirs if you can't even do your own?" I whispered, giggling. Ashton nudged me and laughed.

"Shut up. There's a bump starting to come." Ashton's hand trailed over my stomach and I never let go of it.

"I know 13 week scan like the end of the week." I smiled, remembering I booked it secretly.

"Seriously?" Ashton sounded shocked. I nodded and he nuzzled himself into my neck.

"I plan to see you there. And I think... Emily should come." I suggested and Ashton pulled back, turning me over.

"I thought it would be me and you." Ashton bit his lip, looking at me. "Is it because you don't want to be alone with me or something?"

"What, no!" I sighed. "Ashton I grew up with her, she's my bestest friend and I planned to lead my life with her by my side. If this is about the godparent comment-"

"No, you just never mentioned her before, I'm just cautious." Ashton smiled.

"You're cautious? What has this baby turned you into, Mr. Irwin?" I nudged him and winked.

"I'm sorry." He laughed and I cuddled into him.

"I think I understand, it's fine." I laughed once more and he kissed my forehead.

"I can't wait for this baby."
