Chapter 25

Calum's POV

"So I have some news." Audrey said. All of us were circled around Marisa's phone listening intensely to what Audrey had to say not knowing what to expect.

"I'm just going to be blunt." We all groaned as she kept staling. "Go women!" Marisa shouted annoyed.

"I'm pregnant." Marisa was the first to scream and congratulate her friend before we all followed after in the joyous moment. "There's more." Luke cut in causing us all the silence down.

"I'm having triplets." The room was silent as well as Audrey's side of the line.

"Your vagina." Marisa muttered while grimacing which caused all of us to laugh. We all, again, congratulated her not even caring that Luke was probably against this one hundred percent.

"Calum I've got to give it to you." Mikey said patting me roughly on my shoulders.

"You're the only one not to get a girl pregnant." Ashton finished with a proud smile which didn't last long.

"About that..." Marisa made one of her faces before opening her arms wide. My mouth shut instantly and my eyes went wide.

"Hoe don't do it." I said automatically.

"I'm pregnant." The first rounds of emotions I felt were the usual ones you would expect. Nervousness, confusion, worry. But I was also happy beyond belief.

A large smile spread across my face before I stood and enveloped Marisa in my arms. Kissing her all over her face, I laughed as she cried out in annoyance. After a while she pulled away and looked me with a solemn expression before she kicked me in the shin roughly causing me to cry out in pain.

"Don't ever call me hoe again." She said seriously before allowing me to wrap my arms around her once again. A large smile could easily be seen on my face.

"Wait." Ashton said suddenly looking up from his phone and looking at all of us who were in the room. "You three are all expecting children in the next eight to nine months."

Mikey and I nodded while Luke gave a grunt in acknowledgement. "You guys are going to need to start saving money and get a house prepared plus baby supplies."

We all nodded in understanding before we left the girls and Luke to get to the studio.

Audrey's POV

Gently I knocked on Coaches door that led to his office. When I heard him shout 'come in' I carefully opened the door and shut it behind me.

Coach sat at his large desk, his back turned towards me. A large shelf/desk was against the far wall that held books, files, trophies and medals. His desk was cluttered with files and papers with strategies and players names.

"How can I help you Kid?" Coach turned and pulled off his glasses before looking up at me.

"I-uh-have to tell you something." He nodded and pointed towards one of the black leather chairs.

I sat and crossed my hands in my lap. "Go for it Kid, I'm listening."

I took a deep breath, my cheeks and ears turned bright red.

"Well, c 'mon, don't be shy now." I rubbed the back of my neck and leant forward slightly.

"I-I don't think I'll be able to play for the team next year." He turned his head slightly, crossed his fingers and leant back in his desks chair.

"How come?"

I really didn't feel comfortable with telling my first year coach about me getting knocked up but he would honestly find out sooner or later right?

"I'm-" my voice got caught in my throat. I took a moment before trying to speak again but this time it came out and the look on his face was one I didn't expect. If you could even call it a look.

Coach nodded but remained silent for a moment. I watched nervously as his face remained blank with no expression as he opened a folder and pulled out a piece of paper which had a list of each of our players and numbers. Leaning over towards his computer Coach pulled a black marker.

I watched horrified as Coach took the marker and crossed out my name and picture. "I'll miss you kid." He muttered shutting the marker before putting it back and looking back at me.

"I'm sorry." I muttered weakly looking down at my lap.

"Don't be." I looked up shocked to see a small smile on Coaches lips.

"This isn't something to be sorry about. This is something to be ecstatic about." He clapped his hands and letting out a deep chuckle. "I hope you have a great pregnancy with your boyfriend and that your child is healthy."

A small smile spread across my face before I rubbed the back of my neck. "I'm actually having three."

I couldn't hold back my laughter when Coaches eyes got wide and his jaw fell.

"Holy crap." He muttered before laughing himself.

When it was finally time to say bye, I thanked Coach for the season and told him I'd try out again when I was a junior. Hopefully.

"Wait what?" I asked as Marisa continued to put her clothes away in their rightful place. She glanced up at me before going to what she was currently doing.

"I said I'm not attending Ole Miss next year." All I did was look at her and blink trying to register the new information I have recieved.

"Why?" Marisa sighed and let her head fall back before turning her body to look at me.

"I'm going to pop out a child in nine months, meaning I'll be popping this thing out right when the school year starts. I won't have time for school and plus Calum and I plan on taking care of the baby together. We'll most likely end up living togther." I nodded slightly understanding where she's coming from but not liking it at all.

"How are you going to finish college?" I asked walking and sitting on my bed.

As she continued to put her clothes away, I laid on my bed and thought about how the next year would change drastically for both of us. We were both choosing different paths during and after our pregnancy's , little did we know how drastic our lives would really change.
