I sighed in relief as the bus I needed finally arrived at the stop. Once I got on, I sighed, seeing there were no available seats and grabbed a hold of a nearby pole for standing passengers, placing a hand on my 6-month-pregnant stomach, hearing a whisper of, "Son, come here and let the lady sit down."

"No! I want to sit down!" the child replied. I just sent a smile the the father in a 'it's fine, I'm used to it' way.

That's when I felt a tap on my shoulder, "Miss, here, take my seat. I'm getting off soon anyway."

I turned around and was met with a freckled face and brown hair, tied up in a low ponytail, the man wearing a white t-shirt with turtles on it. I smiled as he stood up and thanked him, sitting down, feeling relieved at the weight being removed from my legs.

"Thank you again, sir. I like your T-shirt by the way."

"Thank you. Turtles are just the best!"

I let out a giggle, "I agree."

-------------------------

A few minutes later the bus arrived at my stop. I stood up and thanked the driver before getting off and finishing the small walk home I had from the bus stop. That's when I felt another tap on the shoulder, "Sorry, Miss. I didn't get your name. It seems we were getting off at the same place."

"Oh, I'm (Y/n). What about you?"

"John. You've got a pretty name. Oh, shit, I shouldn't be flirting, I can tell you're already in a relationship," he muttered the last statement his eyes darting to my stomach.

"T-thank you, and it's fine. I was, but not anymore. My boyfriend was excited about the two of us having a baby, but a few days ago, I found out he had been cheating on me since before he got me pregnant and that he was dumping me for her when I told him there was a chance that our baby wouldn't be perfect. I don't have the best eyesight, I'm dyslexic, and I'm a carrier of a genetic 'deformity', I hate that word, a thing that my mum has that could get passed down to this child. The girl my ex was cheating on me with has no problems with her DNA, has perfect eyesight and she's gorgeous. Sorry for ranting, we've probably walked past your house by now."

John just shook his head, "Nope! Plus it wouldn't be right for me to let you walk home alone. Who knows who could take advantage of you? And your ex is wrong for not seeing you for how perfect you are. You need someone who will love every part of you and the child, no matter what they look like," he spoke, putting a bit of my hair behind my ear that had fallen out of place, causing my face to turn slightly pink.

We ended up learning that we lived in the same block of flats, and right next to each other, and two months later, John made me move in with him so that he wouldn't worry about me being on my own and having to go the hospital alone, then I met his very loud friends.....

-------------------JOHN'S POV

"John, what's got you so distracted?"

"Nothing Alex. I'm fine," I replied, moving my hand and pushing a bit of hair that had fallen into (Y/n)'s face out of the way, who was currently asleep on my shoulder.

"I have a feeling it's something to do with (Y/n). Mon ami, I can see it in your eyes, you love her, non?"

I immediately looked up, staring Laf in the face, "W-what?!"

"I knew it. Just tell her, mon ami, before someone snatches her up," Laf replied, a smirk on his face.

"You wouldn't dare," I muttered, seeing him looking at (Y/n).

"Tell her and I won't."

At that moment, (Y/n) woke up with a scream, "I-it hurts!" making my eyes widen, "Laf can I borrow your car? Mine's in for a service today."

"On one condition; I'm driving."

"Fine. Just get (Y/n) to the hospital, please."

-----------------------------YOU POV

"Thank you for helping me, John. I don't think I would have made it without your help," I spoke, panting as I held Jane in my arms, the baby girl being sound asleep.

"No problem. Glad I was of some help."

"Mon ami, don't you have something to say to (Y/n)?"

I blinked at Laf's words and asked John, "Do you?"

"Laf, I hate you so much...." John muttered, "If I have to do this, you three must leave." Laf and Alex sighed, Herc eventually had to drag them out of the room, leaving me and John alone, "So what did you have to say?"

"Since I met you, I felt something... a good something. I realised I've fallen in love with you, (Y/n). I know you probably don't feel the same, I mean we have only known each other for a few months but-" I cut him off by placing a finger on his lips, "I love you too, John."

His face lit up and I giggled, "I'm not messing with you, you can kiss me if you want."

That was all he needed to bend down and carefully kiss me, careful not to disturb Jane.
