Ben Chilwell

FATHER'S DAY 

There should be a second part coming soon x 

Summer had finally arrived, your best friend was getting married in Mykonos, you were staying there for a few weeks as she was having the hen do out there as well and just getting everything ready for the wedding.

Being the maid of honour was incredible and something you were so excited by, but being incredibly single made things hard when you saw everyone with their partners, it was hard.

"You okay? you seem so sad" The bride came over to you and stopped your train of thought as she made you jump.

"Sorry, just thinking" you smiled as you looked up at her as she gently rubbed your face.

"You seem in your own little world, keep smiling. You seem so upset about something?" She asked you as you shook your head.

"No I am all okay" you smiled as she rubbed your arm as she headed off to mingle with other guests.

The drinks were flowing and you were having a great time whilst the sun was setting.

"Hi" you turned around on your heels as you saw Ben standing in front of you.

"Oh hi" you hugged him, practically melting at the smell of his aftershave.

"I haven't seen you in ages, how have you been?" he asked with a smile on his face.

"I have been good, busy with work but yeah I am good thank you" you smiled as you sipped your drink.

"That's good, so you came here alone?" he asked as you shook your head.

"Sadly yes, single as ever. What about you?" you asked as he nodded.

"Single too" Ben shrugged.

"Oh maybe one day someone will fall in love with us" you teased.

"Hopefully sooner rather than later, you are looking hot by the way" Ben blushed.

"Oh Ben, you always were a smooth talker" you smirked as you gently tapped the side of his cheek, leaving him with his mouth wide open.

"Ben bro, close your mouth" they laughed as you turned around and gave him a cheeky wink as you walk away as you could tell he was still watching you as you walked away.
-
A few hours had passed and you were still drinking, you were already feeling that the hangover was going to hit you hard.

As you walked back to your room whilst the rest of the wedding party was going to carry on drinking, you were somewhat not in the mood to be drinking anymore.

"Fancy seeing you here?" you turned around quickly as you saw Ben walking down the hallway.

"Stalking me now are we?" you laughed as you stopped so he could catch up with you.

"Me? no never" Ben had a huge smirk on his face as he took your hand into his as he bent down to kiss you.

"Sorry" he whispered as he walked back.

"Why what have you done?" you asked him as you looked at him feeling confused.

"I shouldn't have kissed you, we barely know each other" Ben looked down, not wanting to make eye contact.

"So? when has that stopped you before Ben. We have been friends for years, you aren't just a stranger to me" you smiled as you carried on walking back to your hotel room as you stop outside of it.

"Coming in?" you smiled as Ben cocked his head to look at you and tried not to laugh.

"Sure" Ben hesitated at the door thinking that I was only joking.

As you shut the door behind Ben he smirked and kissed you once more as you both took a pause.

"Are you sure you are okay with this?" Ben asked as you nodded as you started kissing him.
-

A few weeks had passed and you barely even saw Ben, despite being in the same hotel you hadn't even seen him. It did make you feel sad because you thought you had a little connection especially after having sex with him.

The last few days you had been feeling a little under the weather, you assumed it was just the heat or having too much alcohol because that was all that you seemed to do was drink this holiday.

For some reason, your mind was telling you that you needed to take a pregnancy test. You headed to the local pharmacy and headed to buy a box of tests to take back at the hotel, hopefully not getting caught in the process.

Opening the box and reading the instructions as you made sure to do it all right. Peeing on the test and now you were nervously waiting for the results.

"Shit" you mumbled as you looked at the pregnancy test on the bathroom counter.

You watched the pregnancy test change to 'pregnant 2 weeks' as you laid your head on the side, in shock knowing that you had a baby inside of you.

"Are you okay in there?" you jumped as you heard your best friend's voice from outside the door.

"Yeah, be out in a second" you shouted as you scrambled the test together and stuffed it in your makeup bag and wiping your tears away quickly before heading out of the bathroom.

"You okay?" she asked as soon as you stepped out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, think I drank too many shots just made me a little dizzy that's all" you laughed as you sat down on the bed.

"Oh okay, I can't believe I am getting married in the morning. I think I'll be too nervous to sleep" she smiles as you watch her facial expression change to the biggest grin.

"I can't either, it should be an amazing day. The weather is supposed to be incredible tomorrow, I can't wait. Shall we watch a movie and try to get some sleep?" you asked her as you could tell she was starting to get a bit fidgety and unsure what to do with herself.

The next day arrived, the big wedding day.

You opened your eyes, looking at your phone and feeling like you had barely slept you were in that much of an anxious mood. How were you even going to hide this from everyone, you felt rubbish and didn't feel yourself yet you needed to make your best friend's day.

"Morning" you smiled as you saw her wake up.

"Today is your big day, today is all about youuuuu" you sang as you quickly ran to get her some flowers.

"Omg these are beautiful, oh stop look at me I feel the tears coming on already and I have only been awake a matter on minutes" you laughed as you wrapped your arms loosely around her.

"It is okay, it's your day you can do whatever you want. Now do you want breakfast yet or not?" you asked her.

"No it is okay, a glass of water though or even a tea" she suggested.

The day was so busy, it took your mind off of things that were still in the back of your mind.

Luckily you didn't see Ben at all the whole entire night which was good because it was going to make you feel even worse than you already did.

The wedding was absolutely magical, but you were exhausted after playing the role of maid of honour. It was a very big deal and you were just so happy that you managed to make this day incredibly so special for the happy couple.
-
Once you had got home, life started to calm down and the feeling of having a baby felt very much real now. You had an early scan and just to make sure everything was okay with travelling a little bit.

- Now that you were just turning 12 weeks, you felt calm and had the reassurance that you needed that everything was okay.

Your best friend and her husband were round and you had to tell them, you knew this wasn't going to down too well.

"I have something to tell you" you smiled as she looked at you confused as you handed her the ultrasound scan.

"What the fuck? you are pregnant?" she squealed so loudly as she threw her arms around you tightly.

"Yes" you laughed as you watched your best friend's reaction and they both congratulated you.

"How did this even happen? you aren't even with anyone?" she looked at you puzzled.

"Well I am sure you know how to have a baby, so yeah that happened. Basically blame being out in Mykonos" you let out a sigh as you looked up and saw them both looking confused.

"Wait what?" your friend asked.

"Yep" you shrugged, hoping she wouldn't ask any more questions.

"Hmm okay, guess you're not going to say anything then?" She groaned with a hint of frustration in her voice.

"I didn't think you wanted to know all the details, so yeah I am not doing that no matter how much you are wanting to know everything. Yes I can tell that you are pissed off with me for not telling you sooner" you looked straight at her as she gently bit her lip as she shrugged.

"Hmm" they both looked at each other as you could now feel the tension in the room.

You wanted to leave the room but it is your flat, so you couldn't exactly do that so you had to suck it up and basically get on with it.

"Well I guess that is our time to go, seeing you are in a mood with us now and won't even talk about the pregnancy. Sorry but what did you expect? you are single, very single and you rock up with a baby bump. Sorry" she shrugged as she brushed past you as you stood up.

"I am not in a mood, I just well, you know who he is. I am not sure if you'll be annoyed with me" you shrugged as you sat back down and Conor left the room to leave you both to talk.

"It's Ben's" you whispered as a small tear fell from your face.

"No way! You two? okay I can see why you didn't want to mention it. So he doesn't know yet. He needs to know, especially if we see him and you have a bump. How are you going to tell him?" she asked you as you shrugged.

"No clue, I haven't really thought about it if I'm honest. Hi Ben I am having your baby because we got into a drunken mess?" you laughed nervously.

"Just message him, he needs to be here for you because it is scary and you don't want to do it on your own do you?" she asked and deep down you knew she was right and you needed to tell him.

"Okay let me send him a whatsapp and I'll see if we can meet up" you smiled as you took a deep breath as you wrote out the text.

"Hey, how are you? I was just wondering if we could meet up x" you pressed send, instantly regretting it.

"You sent it, well done it is okay" she grabbed your leg as she comforted you, giving you a quick squeeze as you felt your phone vibrate.

"Yeah sure, meet today if you wish too x" he replied.

"Oh my god, he wants to meet today??" you exclaimed as you felt incredibly hot all of a sudden.

"Go and meet him, get changed and please text me with everything and you'll be all okay I promise" She reassured you as you nodded and hugged her goodbye before leaving the room to get changed to meet him.
-
"Oh my god" you whispered as you saw him sitting at the cafe where you had planned to meet.

"Hey" you mumbled as you approached his table and took a seat.

"Hello, bit weird you want to meet up with me?" Ben told you as you felt the nerves were hitting you now.

"I I need to tell you something" you told him.

"I'm pregnant" you blurted out as you watched his eyes pop out of his head.

"Oh wow okay, mine?" he asked as you nodded.

"Yes, it is yours. I haven't been with anyone else since that night and all the dates add up" you told him.

"Oh how many weeks?" Ben asked.

"12 weeks today" you smiled as you rummaged in your bag and pulled out a scan photo.

"Oh wow, that's our baby?" he smiled as his eyes examined the ultrasound.

"Yes our baby" you nervously smiled.

"I'm sorry you should have told me before, I could have come to the scan with you" he asked you.

"I really wanted to, but I was scared that you had no interest in me. We haven't spoken since and I was scared that you hated me for what we did that night?" Ben grabbed your hand.

"Oh that isn't true, I have always liked you and I want to be a part of this with you. No matter how scary it is. We are in this baby thing together" you smiled, feeling like your heart had melted at that moment as you weren't expecting him to say that.

"Thank you" you whispered as you both got up and decided you want to go for a walk.

Hoping that the next chapter of your life was going to be the best yet
