Sophie's POV
I rub the crystals of sleep dust out of the corner of my eyes and trudge down the stairs following the scent of Calum making breakfast.

I sit down at the counter smiling at him tiredly as I run a hand through my hair.

He hands me a plate of scrambled eggs with a few slices of toast on the side.

He coughs awkwardly before building up the courage to say:

"Sophie be honest with me because I can't keep doing this, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining but you get just keep coming and messing around with me every once in a while - is this going anyway? I've put dating on hold recently but I need to know Sophie because I can't keep it on hold" he explains.

"I'm pregnant" I blurt out unable to stop myself.

"Oh" he looks at me taken back.

"Congratulations I hope you and Ashton are very happy"

"We are but we shouldn't be, it's not his"

His eyes widen in realisation.

Cara's POV
"So, these are my grandchildren?" The women asks trying to hide her excitement.

"You've never met them?"

"I barely knew zoe" she laughs

"Wait what!" I exclaim.

"Me and her father didn't want children but we don't believe in abortion so we put her up for adoption" the women wearily explains.

"But she was your daughter" I frown.

"I just said - we didn't want a child"

"But...but you said you had a son"

"Well yes" the women turns to her with a puzzled expression.

"Why did you keep him?"

"We were ready by the point for a child"

By this point I was close to tears with either frustration for the women or sympathy for Zoe.

"Why didn't you get Zoe back?" My voice trembles slightly.

"Well if we grew to love her we'd feel guilty for giving her up" the women explained exasperatedly.

"We're going home this was a mistake" I usher the girls back to the car.

"Wait I want to see my grandchildren" the women calls

"They're not your grandchildren" I manage.

"Well they're not your children either"

Ignoring the pang in my heart I muster up all the strength I can and defiantly lift my chin up and say:

"Yes they are"

Roses POV

Michael enters the room checking his phone before swearing slightly.

"What is it?" I smile encouragingly.

"Calum's pulled out for your date tonight"

"Right so you were trying to set me up with Calum Hood?" I tease.

He looks like he wants to kick himself

"Don't tell Aurelia" he pleads.

"She's not that scary..."

He just looks at me.

"Fair enough" I shrug.

"So aren't you annoyed that he canceled?" Michael looks confused.

"A little bit I didn't know him so less so" I reason

"So what are you going to do tonight instead?"

"Watch a film, whatever's on TV maybe get a take away" I ponder out loud.

"Or you could come out with me?" He suggests.

"Depends where are you going?"

"To a friends"

"Well are you doing anything intresting?"

"Project clean up Ashton"

Luke's POV

"Woah, slow down"I tell Calum down the phone.

"Fine I got a girl pregnant" he summarises.

"Again? Haven't you heard of controception?" I ask actually wondering if he had.

"She lied, she said she was on the pill but" he voices shakes and trails off

"She wanted to get pregnant?"

"Yeah but the guy she was with couldn't make her pregnant" he explains.

"Well at least you could" I joke.

"Luke?"

"Yes"

"The girl..."

"Yes"

"She's Sophie"
