To the moon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 21

'What are they saying?' I asked, looking at Luke from across the table.
It was now 2:40PM and I had luckily found some new clothes to wear.
We were sitting in a little restaurant having lunch and Luke was scrolling through his timeline on Twitter.

'Mainly just "I told you so's" to each other and a lot of people congratulating us' he said, looking up and smiling at me.

'What about the bad ones?' I asked, knowing they were there but he just left them out.

'The bad ones could be worse, but I'm still not telling you what they said' Luke said, putting his phone away and looking outside the window.

I nodded as an answer, knowing it was no use to fight him on this.
I ate the last bite of my sandwich and sighed, handing Luke the coke I had left.
No matter how thirsty I was, I could never finish the drinks they gave us at restaurants, even if it was just a normal glass.

Luke grinned, taking his time and slowly drinking the coke.
'What else do you need?' Luke asked.
'Nothing, I think we can go baby shopping now' I smiled, automatically resting my hand on my belly.
Luke drank the last bit of coke and smiled 'Hell yeah, should we go then?'

I nodded, taking the bags that were spread around my feet as Luke went to pay for the sandwiches.

A few girls spotted him when he walked passed their table and went after him.
I smiled as the girls had a small conversation with him and took some pictures.
After a few more minutes he pointed at me, probably telling them that he had to go and waved at them before returning to our table.
'You ready?' I asked, standing up and hanging my bag over my shoulder.

'Yeah,' Luke smiled 'Are you?'

I nodded, allowing Luke to take the bags out of my hands and leading me outside.

'Let's go back where we came from, I think I saw this shop that sold baby clothes there' I said, pointing to the road we just came from.
Luke nodded and took my hand in his as we made our way through the busy streets.

Every now and then people would look at Luke, recognizing him but continuing to walk right passed us as if they were too scared to walk up to him.

We walked down the street for about 5 minutes until we found the shop I was talking about.
'Alright, let's just avoid the pink and blue sections' I grinned as we walked in.
Luke nodded and we mindlessly walked around for a bit, looking at the different onesies there were in the baby section.
'Oh my god we need this' Luke said, from behind me.
I turned around, looking at the onesie he was holding.
It was one of those onesies that looked like a bear. Those onesies you see everywhere on the internet.

'Aw,' I laughed, feeling the need to touch it because it looked very soft 'Maybe we should. It's December when I'm due so she's going to need something warm' I said, looking up at Luke.

He smiled 'It's the perfect excuse' he said, trying to bite his smile.
I laughed, wrapping my arms around his waist to pull him in a hug.

Luke pressed a kiss against my head, wrapping his arms around my body.

'Hey,' he said, making me look up at him.
'I love you'

I smiled, pressing a kiss against his lips.
'I know you do, you already told me that 6 times today' I said, before adding:
'I love you too'

'Let's look for some more baby clothes' Luke said.
I let go of him as we continued shopping, eventually picking out one more white onesie with the caption: "Don't look at me, that smell is coming from my dad"

Luke went to pay for them as I waited with all my shopping bags.

I played around with my fingers and sighed.
I used to always wear at least one or two rings around my fingers but my fingers had started to swell up a little, meaning I didn't fit them anymore.
Luke thanked the cashier and walked up to me, smiling widely.
'Let's go' he said as he took the bags I was holding.
'We need to do one more thing' I said as we walked outside.
'What's that?' Luke asked.

'I need new rings,' I said, looking around if I could find a jewelry store somewhere.

'I don't fit the others anymore'

'And you can't do without them?' Luke asked carefully, knowing I was growing a little tired by now, which meant I could go grumpy on him any minute.
'No,' I pouted 'my hands feel naked and I have nothing to play around with' I explained.

Luke sighed, making me grin softly.

'Sorry, It'll only take a minute. I'll only buy one'

'Just one?' Luke asked.

'Just one I promise' I said.
'Well take mine then' he said, stopping me from walking any further.

He pulled his pinky ring off his finger and held it between us.
'But you love that ring' I mumbled.

Luke smiled 'Just because you're the one wearing it doesn't mean I'm going to love it any less,' he said.

'It'd put it on your finger but I don't want people to think I've asked you to marry me'
I grinned, carefully taking the ring and putting it on my middle finger where it fit perfectly.

'Not that I don't want to marry you or anything' Luke said 'But I think we've given the fans enough of a heart attack by telling them you're pregnant'
'I get it' I smiled, pressing a kiss against his lips. 'Thank you'
