To the moon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 36

I sighed, turning around again to try and make myself more comfortable.

Everyone had disappeared in their own tents a few hours ago so they were all fast asleep.

Except for me.

'I told you this was a bad idea' Luke mumbled sleepily, taking my hand in an attempt to try and turn me around.

'It was not a bad idea. My back just hurts that's all.' I said, lying down on my side again, my face turned to Luke.

He sighed and took his phone, checking the time before he rubbed his hands over his face and put his phone back down.

He let himself fall back, his head disappearing out of the tent for a second since the tent was very small.

I laughed and looked at him as he pulled himself back inside.

'Come on I have an idea' Luke whispered, getting up of the bed.

'Get out of the tent for a sec' he said, taking my hand and helping me sit up straight.

'Why?' I grinned while carefully getting up.

'Just because. It'll only be a second I promise'

I nodded and carefully stepped out of the tent.

Luke opened the little "doors" of our tent and pushed our bed out just a little bit.

'What are you doing?' I asked, as he laid back down, his head outside of the tent and the rest of his body inside, snuggling up in his sleeping bag.

'Come on,' he smiled, patting the bed beside him.

I frowned and laid back down, hiding myself in the sleeping bag the same way he had done a few seconds ago.

'Now what?' I smiled, looking at him.

Luke looked at me, lifting his arms out of his sleeping bag and pulling me closer against him.

'Now look up' he said and I did just that.

There were a few clouds in the sky and thousands and thousands of stars littered all over the place.

The moon had disappeared behind the trees but it was shining so bright you could still see little bits of the glow in between the branches.

'This, is why I agreed to go camping when we made the plans before we left' Luke mumbled quietly.

'I saw the same thing when we did the road trip through New Zealand. I tried waking you up back then but even after we had spent all that time together and you should've gotten used to walking around so much, you clearly needed all the sleep you could get so after trying for 5 minutes I gave up and let you sleep'

I smiled and looked at him.

'You tried to wake me up?'

Luke smiled and nodded 'I did, but you just groaned and mumbled something about guacamole and you went back to sleep'

I laughed, looking up at the sky again.

'I talked about guacamole? I don't even know what guacamole tastes like'

'You don't?' Luke asked.

'No, I never had guacamole before'

'Well...we'll change that when we get back...probably when the baby is born because maybe being pregnant will change the way you feel about guacamole the same way it changed the way you feel about gummybears'

'Please stop talking about gummybears' I laughed, even just the thought of gummybears made me nauseous.

'Okay, alright I'm sorry' Luke grinned, pulling me closer and pressing a kiss to the top of my head.

'Luke? I have a question' I said, suddenly remembering the things I had been thinking about the last couple of days.

'What is it?' he asked, drawing little circles on my arm.

I moved around a bit to try and make myself more comfortable since my back still hurt, but it didn't really change anything.

'This might not really be the best moment to ask you but...do you know...eh...like, I was wondering...when the next tour starts?' I asked, finding myself scared of the answer he was going to give me.

Luke sighed quietly 'I don't know the exact date. But I told management I wasn't going anywhere until this baby is born so we've got a few months for ourselves. Although, we do have to do some radio interviews and stuff here in Australia but at least I'll be able to come back home every day'

'Do you think they'll listen though? I mean, did they understand that you wanted this?'

'Yeah...I think they did. I called them together with the other guys because it's always hard to convince management. The guys helped me out and told management that they agree with my decision and they want us all to stay here at least until she's born'

I smiled 'So you gave them my due date then?'

'No' Luke grinned 'If I would've done that they would start planning things for like...the day after. I lied and told them I didn't know the exact date but it was somewhere around the end of the year. I haven't really talked to them since so my guess is the next tour will start at the beginning of next year'

'So we actually get to spent New Years in the same timezone for once?' I smiled, sitting up straight and looking at him.

'I think so. But New Years is still pretty far away so I'm not 100% sure'

I nodded and bend down, pressing my lips against his.

'The fact that it's a possibility gives us a bigger chance than we ever got'
