To the moon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 33

'Okay, so...I have a question' Michael said, sitting up straight.
He was sitting beside me in the backseat of the car, Luke on the other side.
Calum was driving and Ashton was asleep on the passenger seat.
Turns out he can't stay awake too long when he's in a moving car.
'Bring it on' Luke said, his fingers softly drawing little circles on my belly.
'Why do giraffes always look like they're bored?' Michael asked.
I grinned, resting my head against Luke's shoulder.
'They do, don't they? Especially when they eat' Luke said.
'That's probably because they always have to eat the same thing' I said, taking Luke's hand that was still drawing circles and placing it flat on my belly since our little baby just started kicking again.
Luke was quiet for a second, completely focused on my baby bump, before he continued talking.
'I would be bored if all I ever got to eat were leaves' he said.
I nodded 'You already get bored when we eat the same thing twice in one week'
'No I don't, we never eat the same thing twice a week'
'Yes we do,' I grinned 'Eating the leftovers 2 days after we originally ate something is definitely eating the same food twice in the same week'
'Right, but we only keep the good leftovers so than it's okay'
I grinned and shook my head.
'The reason we only keep the "good" leftovers is because if we keep the "bad" leftovers, they won't be eaten'
'That's not true' Luke said, 'We do eat the le-.'
'Oh no, Hemmings, I am the one eating the leftovers when it's not the "good" kind. You're the one ordering pizza and trying to feed it to me to make me change my mind' I smiled.
'Okay, alright, let's stop it there. I don't want you guys divorcing each other and I definitely don't want you 2 having make up sex in here' Michael laughed.
'Well...you know...we're not married so there's no such thing as "divorce" and also...if I'd want to have sex with my girlfriend right here, you're not going to stop me' Luke said, his hand trailing from my belly up to my arms.
'No Luke, that's not happening' I laughed, sitting up straight and moving closer to Michael.
'Seems like I don't have to stop you because your girlfriend will do it for me' Michael grinned.
I looked at him and smiled, taking Luke's hand in mine.
Luke grinned, softly kissing my cheek, and my jaw, slowly making his way to my mouth.
'Oh god' Michael mumbled 'Don't fall for it V, it's a trap.' He said dramatically.
I smiled, quickly pressing my lips against Luke's.
'Noooooo' Michael yelled.
I laughed, throwing my arms around Luke's neck.
Luke grinned, causing us to momentarily stop kissing before pushing our lips back together.
His arms snaked around my waist, my baby bump stopping him from pulling me closer against him.
'Omygod PDA! PDA! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! CAL SAVE ME!' Michael yelled.
'Shut up Michael' Ashton mumbled, moving around a bit before falling back asleep.
'You guys are disgusting' Calum said, scrunching his nose.
'Yeah, that helped me a lot thanks' Michael grinned.
'Any time, my friend' Calum smiled widely.
'Okay, I get it. That's enough' Michael said, poking my sides.
I jolted forward, accidentally biting Luke's lip.
'Fuck you Michael' Luke groaned, touching his lip to see that it was bleeding.
I looked at his fingers shortly before looking at his lip.
'I'm sorry' I said, softly pressing my lips against his.
Luke smiled and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
'It's okay. I think I'll survive'
'You better because I'm okay with raising this baby on my own for a little bit, but not completely' I smiled.
Luke smiled back at me before placing a kiss against the top of my head.
'I wish I could be here for everything' he mumbled, the tone in his voice suddenly not as playful anymore as it was before.
'I know. But I'll be sure to record it all and make you watch it as soon as it happens' I said.
'Yeah' Luke said, resting his chin on top of my head.
I knew what he meant though, seeing it on camera wasn't the same as seeing it in real life.
We were quiet for a few minutes.
The both of us thinking about what our future was going to be like and the other guys all stuck in their own thoughts.
I smiled and looked down at my belly when I felt the baby kick again, placing Luke's hand on top of it the way I did a few minutes before in attempt to cheer him up a bit.
A few more minutes passed, the baby kicking against Luke's hand every once in a while, making Luke smile again.
'I love you V' he said, pressing another kiss against the top of my head.
'I know, I know, I tell you that a thousand times a day,' he said, knowing exactly what I was going to reply.
'I just don't feel like I show you that enough when I'm gone so I'm going to keep saying it and hope you'll keep believing it and keep believing in us because I don't know what I'm going to do if I were to lose you because I'm gone so much'
