7 - i need you

i woke up the next morning and still couldn't believe it. i told him and he left. i got out of bed and my hands rested on my stomach. there was a baby in there. i still couldn't fathom it. i was thinking about babies and decided to call my friend faith cause she has a baby and i really missed her. it would be nice to get some advice and see her again because its been a while. i gave her a quick call and she invited me over so i got myself dressed and made my way over to faith's.

i knocked on the door and it was opened by ethan, faith's boyfriend. "hey dani" he said and gave me a hug, "hey ethan, how've you been?" i replied, "good, yea, they're in the front room" he told me, "perfect, thank you" i said and walked through to their living room. "OH MY GOODNESS, HEY DANS!" faith shouted, "hey faithy, hey olive" i said, "oh my she's gotten so much bigger since i last saw her!" i gushed, "i know she's growing too fast, you want a hold?" faith asked me, "of course!" i said and sat down

faith put olive into my arms, and as i looked down at her, i started crying. "hey, dans, whats wrong?" faith asked me, moving closer so she could comfort me, "i'm pregnant. i told the dad, and he just left, i don't know what to do faithy, i really don't." i told her, tears streaming down my face. "oh dani, babe, that sucks i'm so so sorry." faith said and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. i leant my head on her shoulders and cried and we stayed like that until olive cried for food.

i told her what was going on and she was shocked at what mason did but she gave me some great advice and we spent the rest of the evening relaxing and having snacks, she also gave me some maternity clothes and some really good advice. it was nice to spend time with her because i hadn't seen her since a couple days after she'd had olive. we were quite close friends, she was one of those friends that you could go for months without talking to but when you saw eachother again, it was like nothing had changed.

after i got home from faiths house, i made myself a stir-fry and sat down to watch the holiday. i made a mental note to invite jude over for dinner and to ask him to get my christmas decorations out of the loft so i could start decorating. only fifteen days until christmas after all. it was raining really heavily outside and my hands started to tremble. i heard thunder and my breath started to speed up so i decided to call maddie to try and calm myself down.

me and maddie had a catch up about everything and it was exactly what i needed. i really missed my best friend. i wanted her to be there when i had my baby, i needed her to be there. our call was cut short when there was a knock on the door. it was nearly 9pm and in the middle of the storm who would be knocking my door. i said goodbye to maddie, put on my slippers and made my way to the door.

i opened it and stood there was mason. he was drenched in rain and he looked like he hadn't slept in weeks but he was the last person i wanted to see so i tried to slam the door however his foot was in the way. "please dani, let me explain" he said. "no, why should i?" i asked and tried to shut the door again. "please danielle. please."

i let him in and we both sat on the sofa. "you have two minutes to explain everything to me before i kick you out of my house." i told him and he nodded. "i am so incredibly sorry danielle. i really am. i left you yesterday because i was trying my hardest to not fuck everything up. clearly i didn't do very well. i really like you. and i don't want to ruin whatever we have going on. we're having a baby. a real human baby. that's part you and part me. i want to be there for that. i want to see our baby take its first breath, first steps, say it's first word i want to be there for all of that. and i want to build a relationship with you. i am so sorry for the way i handled things. but i really want you to forgive me dani, no, fuck that, i need you to forgive me. because i need you."

i kissed him softy, "i forgive you, because i want you to raise this baby with me. and i need you too." we kissed again. "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked me. "of course" i replied. we spent the rest of the night baking, watching films and then we had a conversation and decided to post a picture confirming our relationship before we posted about the baby in hope of getting less hate.
