It's A Girl (Ed Sheeran) [EDITING]

Chapter 33

For the past few days, I've just lied in bed and slept, ate, and cuddled with Ed and Shelby. Ed's been the one cooking, going to work, mostly taking care of Shelby unless he was at work, and cleaning. I woke up the past two days and felt a lot better, but still a little rubbish. I also quit my job, because it didn't bring in as much money we needed, I felt better staying at home with Shelby rather than going to work when I did, and I got tired of everyone there. Ed said we are a family and we're together, living under the same roof now, and he wanted to be paying for us. I still feel bad for quitting, but his money is more than enough for the five of us. Not much has happened, except for Katherine coming over and telling Ed small things about her doctor's appointment, like how big the baby is right now, if everything looks like it's going okay, and describing the size and shape it is right now.

I woke up this morning feeling much better than I did when I had that stubborn cold. I cooked breakfast for everyone, which was pancakes, bacon, and cheese toasties. Haley, Reese, Shelby, Ed, and I were sat around the island in the middle of the modern kitchen. Haley and Reese just came back yesterday from a trip to the beach, and without them here, I've missed them and it's been quiet. I realized I would love to have my own place soon with Shelby and Ed, but as of right now, being fresh to the new relationship, I'd rather stay here in case something goes wrong, and plus with him still touring, I wouldn't want to move in somewhere and then Ed have to leave soon and be there lonely with just Shelby, or if Shelby and I go on tour with him, I wouldn't want to leave the house empty for months on end. Plus moving right now seems too stressful on top of everything else.

"This was so good, better than eating out this morning like Haley and I have been doing. Thank you for cooking us breakfast, I'm glad you're feeling better," Reese said, getting up and putting her dishes in the sink. Haley agreed with her, finishing off her last piece of bacon and copying Reese's actions. I smiled, glancing at Ed, seeing a distant look on his face.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I said, sipping on my orange juice.

"How are you not mad at me?" Ed asked, folding his hands together. I told Shelby to go play and she got up, taking her cup with her, going in the living room.

"I know that I really love you, and that if anyone asked me who I would want to spend the rest of my life with, I would say you," I grabbed his hand from across the table and smiled. "Everyone does stuff they regret, we have our flaws, but it take's the right person to see through them."

"I know, but I had Shelby with you, and now I'm having another kid with Katherine. I don't know if I can handle two kids, especially not by the same person."

"You'll do great, I'm here to support you no matter what," I said, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.

"You should be screaming at me, I was preparing myself for it. So if you want to, you can," Ed said and I laughed, shaking my head. I got up, wrapping my arms around his neck and sitting on his lap.

"I'm not going to scream at you," I said and kissed his stubbly cheek.

"I'm sorry, I messed up. I should have listened to you when you told me not to mess with Katherine, because she will ruin your life." I laughed, nodding my head.

"We'll be okay. I'm not going anywhere, babe," I said winking at him. He laughed, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Oh gosh, I'm stuck with you forever," Ed said and I playfully slapped his arm that was wrapped around my waist.

"Yes you are," I said as Ed's phone started to ring. I handed him his phone, noticing it was Stuart. I got up, giving him his privacy and sitting with Haley and Reese in the living room.
