Putting the last piece of banana bread into her mouth, Taylor turned to look at the clock.

10.30 pm and still no Travis.

He had a late class that ended at 6 but he had promised he would come straight home.

He had not come straight home.

Taylor turned on to her side on the couch and reached lazily for her phone.

No messages and no missed calls.

That was strange...

Very strange and she was beginning to get concerned.

Pressing Travis' contact she waited for the ringtone and then listened as the call went unanswered.

This wasn't like Travis

It wasn't like him to not be home when he said he would be, it wasn't like him to not check in on her and the baby and it wasn't like him to be out until 10.30 at night.

Pushing herself into a sitting position, Taylor unconsciously stroked her bump, trying to reassure the baby and herself that Travis was okay.

"Don't you worry baby, daddy will be home soon" she walked to the apartment window and looked out in to the empty streets, no Travis, no car. She tried to talk herself calm as her body instinctively began to panic

Laying down on the sofa, she began to rub her stomach gently as she closed her eyes and willed her baby to stay calm whilst her body refused to do the same

Travis was never late, he never ignored her calls...

Taylor moved uncomfortably from side to side, her mind trying to soothe her baby whilst her body tensed and panicked

Suddenly there was a key in the lock.

Taylor bolted upright as the door opened, her heart hammering in her chest, not sure what was about to happen.

Why was Travis late?

Where had he been?

Why hadn't he had the decency to call?

She was 18, pregnant and in a strange town, surely he would know that she would panic

"Hey baby" his words were slurred and Taylor sighed heavily as it became immediately clear where he had been and why he was late home

"You're drunk" she stated, pushing herself to her feet, her face and voice completely void of amusement

"Let's say buzzed and call it quits" he chuckled as he reached his hands for her waist but she slapped it away and then planted her hands on her hips

"Do you know what time it is?"

"No"

"Do you have any idea how worried i've been?"

Travis paused and then closed one eye to focus as he looked down at his much smaller girlfriend

"No?"

"I'm pregnant Travis"

"Oh my God don't tell my mom!" he deadpanned but Taylor was in no mood for jokes

"I'm in a strange town, my family are miles away, the only person my baby and I have is you. we rely on you, trust you, If you want to go out with your friends and get wasted great, yay you, but at least have the decency to let us know so we aren't sat here worrying, wondering if my babys daddy and my boyfriend is dead or alive, fucking some other girl or lying wounded in a ditch"

"Hey..." Travis' arms reached for her waist again but again she pushed him away "Tay, I will never be 'fuckin some other girl' there are no other girls for me"

"Then why didn't you call? Why didn't you answer your phone?"

"Because i was drunk and I was selfish and I was stupid" He reached one last time for his girlfriend and finally she allowed him to take hold of her "I wasn't thinking, i'm sorry"

"We were scared"

"I'm a dick"

"I like you're dick... you, I don't like right now " she pouted but allowed her hands to drop into the back pockets of his jeans

"Well how about we head to the bedroom. i'll keep my mouth shut and we'll let my dick do the talking" he heaved her to his waist and began walking them backwards towards the bedroom

"You're going to have to make it up to me"

"i'm sure I can do that"

"And the baby"

"They take I.O.Us right? because i don't know what i can do to make it up to them when they are tucked up all cozy inside you"

"You know, they say a baby can feel it's mothers orgasm and its not a terrible experience for them"

"It's if it was a terrible experience for you that would worry me"

"Well why don't you take me to bed and let me find out"

"I have beer breath"

"No kissing just fucking"

"But I like kissing you" he pouted

"Yeah But it won't taste like you it will taste like beer "

"Let me brush my teeth and I will be right there" he said whilst allowing her to slide down his body to the ground

"You said you would be home at 7, what time's it now?"

"This is sex Taylor, I'm never late for sex"

She placed her hands on her hips and then jutted them outwards

"1 minute late and my legs are crossed until the baby is born" she barely got the statement out before he was running to the bathroom, yelling at her to get on the bed and get her clothes off

"There, there baby" she soothed as she stroked her tummy, we're still daddy's  number 1" and with a sigh of relief she pulled her dress from her body and headed for their bedroom
