5SOS Pregnancy Series

5. Telling The Boys.

Luke.

The best idea that Victoria and I probably came up with to tell the boys was, and I quote Victoria on this, "go out for dinner." My brain was probably dry of ideas to tell the guys so I immediately agreed with her idea. Although I had the fear that one of those dorks might choke a bit on their food, I didn't question the idea. Not even once. So here we were, all of us (wives included obviously), eating Mexican food while talking to each other about random stuff until Victoria whispered in my ear that we should probably tell them soon. As if on cue, Calum asked the question that I knew all of them had in their minds. "So, what is the occasion for this dinner? And don't tell me again that 'catching up' shit, Luke, because we all know its not true. I mean, come on! We see each other all the time" he said and chuckled, looking at me. Michael and Ashton nodded in agreement, laughing a bit at his comment, and I sighed. Victoria took my hand underneath the table, interlocking our fingers and squeezing my hand gently for reassurance. I had asked Victoria to let me tell the guys about her pregnancy because they were basically my brothers and, because of that, I wanted to be the one to tell them. She agreed without asking anymore questions. Now that I had to actually tell them, I was too nervous to tell them. "Okay... well," I started, not really finding the perfect words to tell them. "Victoria and I asked you all to join us for dinner because we have something important to tell you" I say, my smile widening more and more with every word I say. "What is it?" Asked Michael, looking at both of us and then looking around to see if anyone had a clue of where I was going with this. "Victoria and I are having a baby" I finally say and they all look really surprised. Except Spencer of course, she already knew. "Ashton, I think your daddy title has been stolen from you by Luke" said Calum teasingly and Ashton's eyes go wide open. "What?! Stop calling me daddy!" He said and I looked at them confused. "Only Spencer can do that" said Michael, wiggling his eyebrows at them. "You do realise that I am going to be a dad, right?" I ask confused and looked at them. Ashton looked at me and gave me a smile. "I do, I'm not so sure these dorks do. Congratulations man, I'm happy for you" he said and patted my back since he was sitting next to me.

Calum.

Mackenzie and I really haven't thought of ways to tell the guys that we were having a baby but we weren't worried about it. Of course I wanted to tell them, it was important for me to tell them, but neither of us wanted to make a big deal out of it. Even if it was a big deal. Either way, Mackenzie and I thought that it would be fine if I told them or if they found out on their own or whatever. Tonight I decided to invite the guys over to watch the Liverpool soccer game and just hang out for a while. I didn't ask the guys to bring their wives over because Mackenzie insisted that I needed a guys night with them and, after a while of her insisting, I gave in. It was the half time of the game and I was just talking to the guys about the album and such when I heard Mackenzie's footsteps coming downstairs from our room and then her voice from behind me. She walked towards me and showed me the bunch of baby clothes in her hands. "Cal, where do you think I can put these? There's not enough space in our drawers or the closet and we don't even have a nursery to put them in there. I don't want these clothes to fill with dust and such" she said looking at me and I sat up. Completely forgetting that the guys were there, I replied. "How about the closet in the guests' room? That's going to be the nursery anyways and the closet is empty" I suggested and she smiled. She was about to say something when I heard Michael speak up. "What?" He asked and both of us looked at him. Mackenzie bit her lip and then pecked my cheek. "I'll be in our room" she said softly before walking upstairs. I nod and then turn to look at the guys. I found amusing how they were looking at me as if I killed someone but I didn't understand why. I was only going to be a dad, I wasn't going to jail. "Let me call Victoria and tell her that our baby is having a little cousin" he said and chuckled a bit. Michael and Ashton smiled at me and Michael was the first one to pull me into a hug. "This is great news! I hope your baby is as beautiful as Mackenzie, a mini Calum wouldn't be as beautiful" he said teasingly and I punched his arm playfully after he pulled away. "I'm kidding!" He said and raised his hands in surrender.

Michael.

Telling the guys that Hope and I were going to be parents was my top priority at the moment. Those three dorks meant a lot to me so they were the next on the list to tell them after our families. I was only thinking in just straight up tell them that Hope and I were going to have a baby just because neither of us had any ideas so that's what I did. We were having lunch at the studio, Calum and Luke telling stories about their kids and Ashton and I laughing at some of them. "So, who do you think is next in having a baby? Michael or me?" Asked Ashton looking at Luke and Calum. I snorted a bit and looked at Ashton, swallowing the food in my mouth before speaking. "I'll have a baby before you do, sunburned kangaroo" I said and chuckled. "Hope's pregnant" I added and looked at them, the skeptical look on their faces was really evident. I knew where their skeptical looks were coming from, they always thought that I'd be the last to have kids. Turns out I'm not. "Are you serious?" Asked Luke, looking at me and dropping his chopsticks in his box of Chinese rice. I nod and take a piece of chicken in my mouth before the three of them cheered and hugged me. I chuckled and patted their backs before they pulled away. "Seems like the daddy club is almost complete" said Calum and I chuckled as Ashton rolled his eyes. "Ashton was the founder of the club if we count what Spencer calls him at night" I teased and laughed loudly.

Ashton.

Ever since Spencer and I found out we were going to be parents I wanted to tell the guys. They meant a lot to me so I thought of telling them first, after my family of course. Spencer and I had a few ideas but none of those were appealing to either of us so we decided to tell them whenever we felt like it. Currently I was with the guys at the park, joining them while they took care of their kids. Calum's and Luke's kids were sitting on the sand crate, trying to build a sand castle, while Michael walked around with his baby holding its little hands as his baby took wobbly steps. "So, have you and Spencer thought about having a baby?" Asked Michael as he glanced at me and then paid attention to where his baby was stepping. I smile slightly and nodded. "Yeah, we have" I say and they look at me expectantly as if asking me to tell them what we decided. I thought that this would be a great time to tell them about Spencer's pregnancy. "Well, at first I didn't agree" I start wanting to tell them the whole story omitting some details that no one really had to know. "With the album coming up and such, but then the idea grew on me. Specially when I found out that Spencer was pregnant" I say and smiled at them. They look at me surprised and Calum opens his mouth to speak but Luke cuts him off. "Spencer was pregnant?" He asked, looking at me sadly. "Take that sad look off of your face. Spencer is pregnant" I say with a wide smile and laugh a bit. They all smile at me and rush to hug me and congratulate me. "Welcome to the daddy club," said Calum and then chuckled. "The actual fatherhood club, not the daddy kink club" he clarified and I rolled my eyes, looking at him. "Seriously?! Lets drop the daddy kink subject, alright? Please" I pleaded and chuckled as they all agreed. Finally they dropped that subject, I honestly thought they never would.

So the daddy kink thing with Ashton isn't going anywhere as you might have already noticed, lol. I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know that I had already posted chapter number 5 but I wasn't comfortable with the result so I decided to redo it and it came out better than before. Also, I'm not revealing the gender of their babies until further on so I omitted typing he or she when referring to each of their babies. Anyways, thanks for reading xx.
