Tattoo over my heart

News

Chris POV

I wake to my phone ringing, I see that it's my ma. She never rings me this late.
"Ma, everything okay?"
"Harleys here Chris and she's pretty upset"
"What? Why?"
"I'm going to pass her the phone and she can explain it okay?"
"Okay"
I hear sniffles on the phone and I know it's Harley.
"Harley? What's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant Chris"

I don't know what to say or do, she's pregnant with my child and I'm going to be a dad.
"Chris?"
"I'm here. Sorry.....just a little shocked"
"Me too. I don't know what to do Chris"
I know she's freaking out and I'm not there to help her and it sucks.
"I know, just try to breathe Harley, I'm home in 3 weeks okay, can we please talk about it then?"
"Okay"
"How are you feeling?"
"A bit sick and exhausted but other then that I'm okay"

"Harley...."
"It's okay Chris we will talk when you get back"
"Okay. I love you"
I can hear her smile "I love you too"
We hang up and I sit there in shock, she's pregnant and I don't know what she is thinking or feeling. I don't know what I'm thinking or feeling, we have barley been a couple and now we are going to be parents. If that's what she chooses.

Harley POV

"Thank you Lisa"
"Your welcome. Whatever you decide chris will have your back Harley"
I nod "I better go"
"Anytime you want a chat, give me a call" she hands me a piece of paper with her number and she hugs me tight.
"Thank you"
I jump back into my car and head for home, thankful for Lisa's help. If she didn't make that phone call I don't know when I would have had the courage to tell him.

When I get home I climb into bed and put on a good old fashioned romantic movie, drink a hot chocolate and eat some pop corn. I hope Chris is going to be okay, I don't know if I want to keep this baby, but if he does then we are going to have issues. I know he won't force me to keep this child and his mum is right he will support me but it's still scary. Am I even ready to be a mum? These last few months have been crazy and I haven't exactly been stable.

My ring pings and I look down to see a text from
Chris.
'Hey, I just want to make sure your okay? This is crazy news and I want you to know I will support whatever decision you decide. I know we agreed to go our separate ways but if you want this baby I want it too. I want you. I want all of it. I mean it this is your choice so whatever you side I will always want you. Can I take you out when im back? So we can talk properly.
I love you Harley
Xxxxxx'

I stare down at the text, he wants me no matter what. Even with everything he has witnessed, he still wants me. I feel the tears start to fall. I reply back 'yes Chris I would love to go out with you when your back in town. We have so much to talk about and so many decisions to make and I'm going to need you. I love you and I miss you xxxx'
