Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 47

~korosu~
The following day, Ashton had gotten up long before I had. When I finally regained consciousness, my vision was blurring and spinning.
Blood loss. Doesn't matter.
Eric was sleeping softly in the crib next to the bed, his little hands across his body. My gaze set on the small boy, a smile spread across my face.
I never thought I would have children, nor would I be near them, but now he's here. I chuckled softly, thinking about all that has happened. My phone started softly vibrating, no caller ID showing up. I answered hesitantly, speaking quietly. "Hello?"
"Korosu? It's jack. Is everything okay? I heard something happened  yesterday from hoodie."
I smiled a bit, gazing at Eric.
"Yes, everything's fine. Just a little person to take care of."
I could tell he was excited, considering his next sentence.
"Really? Yesterday? Are you serious?! My god! Congratulation! What the-" "jack, calm down! It's okay!" I chuckled softly, still smiling.
"Look, I haven't been around kids for quite some time. It's good to hear about this. And I've got a question if you don't mind."
"Shoot."
He paused for a minute, then spoke.
"Tim wouldn't talk to anybody yesterday. Barely even slender. What happened? Do you know?"
Shit. It's my fault.
"U-Um....I don't know, I'm sorry. I've got to go jack."
"Korosu, what ha-"
"Bye."
I hung up quickly, setting my phone one the bed. My head was pounding, a second working heart might have replaced my brain. I attempted to sit up, but I ended up falling back onto the bed. My body ached, the affects of blood loss pretty apparent. I eventually got up to take care of Eric, but was still pretty sore. Eventually, ash walked back in, wrapping his arms around me. "Morning baby. If you can even call it that." I smiled, hugging him. "Morning baby. I love you." He smiled, still hugging me. "We have a little baby. He's our child. I'm a daddy!" A giggle escaped my throat. "Why yes you are darling. Yes you are." "I'll take care of Eric while you shower if you want." I smiled at the thought, glad I could relax a bit. "Thank you so much baby." He smiled, staying in the room while I walked out.

The warm water ran over my skin, washing off the rest of any blood left. I was glad I could finally get it off, my mind momentarily wandering off. Many thoughts crammed together, a smile never leaving my face. I washed my mangled hair, eyes closed. Everything flashed in front of me, my entire life taking a positive turn.

"So ash, I hear you've got a little one with you?" The interviewer kept smiling, the other guys were as well. "Why yes, Yasmin and I do. His name is Eric." All anybody ever asked about in the last few hours was Eric, and I was proud to answer them. I was proud of the little boy. I always will be.

"Adorable. Any pictures?" I nodded, taking out my phone to show them the picture I took of him the day he was born, when Yasmin had begged me not to put her in it, even though I did. She looked pretty worn out in it, but still smiled at the little boy.
"He's so cute!" "Now you know how we feel." Luke giggled, leaning back onto his chair.
"So, where is Calum?"
He hadn't left his room, ever since the thing with his girlfriend. I don't blame him, she did die, and I would be heartbroken if that happened to me.
"He's, sick." Thank god Michael didn't tell them too much. We went on with the interview, talking about albums and shows in the future, and someone eventually set up a Q and A.
"Ash, will you guys be putting off tours due to Eric and your wife?"
"Well, yeah, he's only a couple days old, and it would be hard on them both." Everyone nodded, the thought of both of them making me smile.
"Luke, any previous tour stories?"
"Well, when we were in our bunks, and ash kept texting his friend, I told him to get some sleep, but he just wouldn't have it. So Calum took his phone, and ran off with it, causing ash to chase him through the bus at two in the morning. Eventually, ash gave up and fell asleep on the floor." Everybody laughed, a small blush forming on my face. "Well, I was pretty tired, okay?" I just laughed with them, smiling. "Well, that concludes the show. See you guys later, and hope things go great!" We left the stage, heading back home. Once I got back, I saw Yasmin and Eric on the couch, him on her chest. "Well hello mister I-sleep-on-the-floor." "You saw that?" She giggled, nodding. "Of course. We both did. Isn't that right Eric?" The small baby just babbled and giggled, causing my smile to widen. "Aww." I sat next to them, wrapping an arm around Yasmin. "Things been okay?" She nodded, keeping Eric in her lap. "Perfect. Interview go alright?" I nodded as well, smiling down at the two. "Well, I gotta go get showered, I'll see you later my love. And Yasmin." She stuck her tongue out at me as I walked off, giggling like a madman.

"Ashton, mind watching Eric while I bake?" She had such a cute apron on, holding a wooden spoon. "Of course." Our adorable son was sitting on the floor, scribbling on a card for Santa. Luke and mike were wrapping presents, Calum was doing who knows what, and Yasmin was baking cookies. "Don't steal all of these you guys, especially you two." She pointed the spoon at us, a giggle erupting from my mouth. "Not ALL of em." "NO PROMISES!" Luke tried to run out, but mike grabbed him. "Uh uh. You're helping me damnit." Eric held up his card, which had red and green scribbles all over it. "Beautiful." She chuckled, putting the cookies in the oven. "Well, how is my favorite boy doing? And ash." I made an offended face, standing up. This is our first Christmas as a family, so I'm pretty excited to be celebrating it. I wrapped my arms around her waist, nuzzling into her neck. "Wonderful. Be better if you didn't have this in the way." I slid my hand under her shirt, rubbing her bare skin. She smirked, pushing it down. "Later baby, later." "Aww." It had been quite a while since anything had happened considering, well, Eric. I just giggled, going to help mike and Luke. She sat next to Eric, his little head leaning against her chest. We all worked and giggled, yet my eyes were on her the entire time.

Later that night, after Eric had finally gotten to sleep, I was sitting on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. Everything was rushing by, quicker than I wanted it to. Ash walked in, only wearing boxers. Only.
Damn...he's pretty hot.
"Hey baby." He sat beside me, smirking. "Well hello mister." He put his arm around me, sliding his hand under my shirt. "What are you doing now?" I laughed quietly, his hand slowly making its way up. "Oh, nothing." He kissed me eagerly, pulling me towards him. I smiled beneath his lips, trying my best to stay quiet. He started pulling at my clothes, throwing my shirt and shorts across the room. Right as he was about to go further, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. "Ash...." "Shh. Just let me do this." He slip his hand down my back, tugging at my underclothes. "Ash, stop." "It's okay. I won't hurt you." It got worse, shooting through my stomach. "Ash, seriously, stop." I pulled away, hand on my abdomen. "Is everything okay? Did I hurt you?" "Yeah...it just hurts." I fell back onto the bed, the pain slowly receding. "I love you, but let's just go to bed, okay?" He nodded, switching off the light and slipping under the covers. "I love you." He pulled me closer, falling asleep quickly. I kissed his cheek, relaxing. I loved him, I really did. I needed him. I wanted him. I really wanted him. But I couldn't have him, not yet.
I closed my eyes, allowing darkness to consume me.
