Bad Blood

There's literally nothing I can do right now. I tried to talk him into not getting a gun, but no dice.

"Luke at least tell me why. "

" I'm sick of Ashton treating me like shit. We're happy. We're expecting and we're tying the knot. Why can't he be happy for you at least for you? " He sounds desperate for a reason. Everyone else is happy about us. Everyone else but him.

"I don't know. But I do know, not everyone is meant to be your friend. Not everyone is going to be your friend. Trust me when I say he's in the wrong but you don't have to kill him for it. If you go the jail, that's like twenty years of Blakely's  life you missed, twenty years of us getting married, put off. Don't do this Luke. "

He takes a deep breath, driving us home.

Luke would've gone to jail cause his jealousy would've taken him there if Ashton was the one.

" I love you. " He stared at me for brief moment before returning his eyes to the road.

" I love you too. Psychopath. " I offer a small smile.

--

At home, he goes to his room while I take my pregnant ass to the couch.

I get a phone call from Mikey.

" Hey. " I greet, shifting my feet on the couch. Shit my feet hurt.

" Hey. Luke okay?" He sounds like he's a little under pressure.

" He's fine. Yeah. He's okay. Are you okay?"

" No. This bastard is getting on my nerves. I mean I'm happy for you, Calum's happy for you, and we all slept with you at least once. We're not jealous. And my thing is, yeah you and Luke did us wrong but we get over it. It's been like three months man. " Michael says.

" I know. We all did really bad things to each other, but we're all friends now.  I'm pissed about Ashton too, but I literally have no room for him right now. I'm pregnant. I'm engaged.  I have a lot to think about. "

" Yeah... I agree.  If you want, Cal and I will come over and we'll watch movies and shit. "

"Maybe tomorrow. I have to make sure Luke is like... sane back there. I'll see you tomorrow at 8?"

" Yeah. Bye. Take care. "

" You too. " and we hang up.

"Luke?"

" Yeah? "

" Come here. "

I hear him shuffle on in. Taking a seat on the floor next to me.

" Something wrong? Is it Blakely? "

I smile at his concern. " No we're all fine. Cal and Mikey are coming over tomorrow. I need you to do me a favor. "

" What is it? "

" I'm giving you permission to make ends meet with Ashton. " I know Ashton isn't like that and hopefully it won't get to that point with him, but I'm willing to put this behind us all, no matter the cost.

" What? No. God no. "He grimaced, "I don't want to do that. Not to you, Blake, or myself. "

I laugh a little, brushing his hair south my fingers. " You really have changed. " Old Luke would've said 'are you sure? Okay. I'll do it'.

" Don't forget we have an appointment tomorrow at 1. Ultrasounds. " He reminds me, standing up to go back to the room. He carries me bridal style to our room.

" I should be reminding you that. "

" Don't get mad but you're being kinda heavy. " He sets me on the bed.

" Well a child is growing inside me. "

" What if you had twins and they are fraternal and ones a boy and the boy has been hiding behind the girl?"

" Luke please don't speak that. " I plead.

" Blake and Bailey"

" So you change or little girl's name to Bailey? "

" Unless you want it to be the boy's, but lemme just say that that's not a very masculine name. "

" I'm not having twins and doctor said it was a girl as far as they know. "

" Which means our little Blakely might end up being Logan. " I hadn't even noticed that we were laying in bed, facing each other, already in our sleep attire.

" Sure Luke. " I roll my eyes.

He chuckled, kissing my forehead.

" Goodnight. Goodnight. " He said one to me and whispered one to the baby.

" She says goodnight. "

" She's going to be a he  I can feel it. "

I roll my eyes once again, rolling over to go to sleep.
