5 Seconds of Summer Preference: Pregnancy Series

Finding Out

Luke: Living on a tour bus with four guys wasn't exactly what you had in mind for when you graduated high school, but it turned out to be a lot better summer than you had imagined. You got your acceptance letter to the college of your dreams where you were going to major in nursing and live out the dream that you had since you were a little kid. The summer was drawing to an end which meant that you were going to have to leave the boys for a while, but they understood that you had to go to school. It was your first day at school. Your parents helped you set up your dorm before saying goodbye. You sat on the bed scrolling through your phone when your new roommate walked in "Hi I'm Ariana!" She said. She sat down on the bed across from you and the two of you talked for a while. "So there's a beginning of the year party down at the boy's dorm room tonight. You wanna come?" She asked. "Of course!" You replied. Later that night you went down to the other side of the campus and met everyone you would be spending the next four years with. The next morning you felt like you had a major hangover even though you didn't have a sip of alcohol the night before. "Are you sure you're okay?" Ariana asked. "I'm sure." You said before hunching over the trash can and throwing up. "Are you pregnant?" She laughed. Just then you remembered about the one night you and Luke shared on tour. You haven't gotten your period yet this month. "I was just joking." She said. "I'm not though." You grabbed your keys and headed towards the pharmacy down the street. You bought the cheapest box of tests and ran back to the car. Not wanting to feel the judgement at school, you went to the nearest gas station. You paced around the the little room waiting for the three minutes to be over. When the timer went off on your phone, you looked down at the tests in your hands. You were pregnant.

Ashton: For months you and Ashton had been trying to have a kid, but every time you were just met by a negative sign on the pregnancy test. You had both been to the doctors to see if there was anything wrong, but they assured you both you perfectly fine and encouraged you to keep trying. The night before Ashton went back on tour the two of you tried again as a last time shot for a while. "Hey don't get discouraged if it turns out negative, okay?" He asked. You nodded and walked him out of the car and to the airport. You made your way through the crowded ways of the airport stopping to take a few pictures with the fans that were there. "I love you." You whispered and gave him a kiss before he walked through the gate to the plane. You drove back to your home and figured out what to do with your lonely self for the next couple weeks. The next day you ran to the bathroom with a sick feeling in your stomach. You leaned over the toilet and threw up what you had ate the previous night for dinner. Thinking it was just something you ate, you continued with your day. For the next couple days, you were woken up with the same sick feeling, so you decided to go to the store and get some medicine. Walking though the pharmacy, you see the pregnancy tests sitting on a shelf. You thought to yourself 'maybe this wasn't a bug, maybe you were pregnant'. You picked up the box off the shelf and brought it to the counter. You rushed home and read the directions front and back so much that you could repeat them to anyone that asked. They did recommend that you take the test in the morning, but you couldn't wait until the morning. You set one aside for the next day and peed on the stick waiting for the result. You heard a light beep from the test and looked down at the three tests on the counter. Pregnant. It was a moment that you had been waiting for for so long. Happy tears began to form in your eyes and you couldn't wait to tell Ashton.

Michael: You dragged yourself out of bed and downstairs to the kitchen. You felt like crap today and the last thing you wanted to do was go to work. Your eyes half open as you reached to the top cabinet to get a cup for the coffee Michael had left in the pot. Michael sat at the counter going through his phone with a huge stack of pancakes in front of him. "So I don't get a good morning?" He asked coming up behind you. "Morning." You mumbled. "I made pancakes for you. Chocolate chip, your favorite." He said with a smile. "I don't want any." You replied shortly. "Okay then you don't have to have any." He said. "Just please make sure you eat something before you go to work." He said leaning in for a kiss. Instead of kissing him back, you pulled away. "Did I do something?" He asked. You shrugged. "Whatever." He mumbled leaving the kitchen. "What are you on your period?" He yelled from the other room. Just then a thought shot through your mind, you haven't gotten it this month. Without telling Michael anything, he went to the studio and you went to work. On your lunch break you left to the store down the road and bought a package of pregnancy tests. You went to the bathroom at work and waited for the tests to come back with the results. You were pregnant. It was not that you and Michael weren't ready to be parents, you had been engaged for two years now, it was just that you didn't know how Michael would react.

Calum: Calum moved his arm from around you and directed his attention towards the clock sitting on the nightstand next to the bed - 11:15 AM. He flipped back over and smiled at the sight of you sleeping. Your mouth slightly open and quiet snores leaving your body. He was getting antsy by staying in bed waiting for you to wake up. It was clear that your definition of sleeping in was different then his. You rolled over in the bed throwing the covers off. He layed the back of his hand across your forehead realizing that you were much hotter than you should be. He gently shook you trying to wake you up. "Babe wake up." He said. "No" You groaned. "C'mon it's almost noon." He said. "But I don't feel good." You whined. "Sit up and please talk to me." He said. You slowly sat up , squinting at the bright sunlight that was shining through the window. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I'm tired and my stomach hurts." You said before lying back down and closing your eyes. "Are you on your period?" He asked. You eyes shot open, you hadn't gotten it yet this month. You heard him go through the drawers and change out of his t-shirt. "Where are you going?" You asked. "To the store, getting you some pregnancy tests." He replied. "How did you know?" You asked. "Y/N we've been married for two years now, I can tell when you're on your period and I'm pretty sure you haven't gotten it this month. Am I right?" He asked. You nodded. "Well then I'll be back." He said placing a kiss on your forehead. When he returned, you were back asleep in the bed. "Y/N I'm home. I got the test." You pulled yourself out of bed taking the tests into the bathroom with you. You layed them across the sink waiting for the three minutes to be over. You were pregnant.
