pregnant with his baby | 𝘭.𝘩. 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯

Chapter Thirty-Three

(2 months later, she's already had the baby shower, Luke quit the band and now she's still living with Ash. Sorry for the huge skip but I need to get this story over with!)

Mal's POV:

I woke up to the smell of some amazing food! I wanted to get up, but I was too fat! I'm ready to have Elijah in my hands!

I wait a few minutes and a familiar face was at the door.

"You want some food!?" Ash's cheeky smile staring at me.

"Yeah but I don't wanna get up."

"Stop there! I wasn't planning on you getting up. What am I standing here for, I'll be right back!" I shook my head and smiled.

Why couldn't this be his child? Wait woah what am I saying?! But he seems he would not leave for any reason at all, but why am I thinking about this?

My thoughts were cut off by a plate being sat beside me. Ash has been so sweet and caring the past few months. I appreciate it.

"Thank you, Ash!" I smiled and he gave one back.

He sat on the end of my bed, and watched me eat it all within a short period.

"Dang girl!" He laughed and took the tray.

"Hey! The pregnant girl gots to eat!" I laughed with him.

I then got up and went to the bathroom. I'm sorry but I had to pee!! Like really bad!

I went in and did my business, and walked down the stairs. When I hit the last step, a sharp pain hit me, and it hit me hard. Its just Elijah kicking me again!, I thought.

After a while the pain got worse.

"I'll be right back. I have to use the bathroom." I told Ash and he helped me up. But when I stood up, it felt as gallons of water came out of me.

"Ash. . .Call an ambulance! Now!" I screamed. He scrabbled to the house phone and called 9-1-1.

"What happened, Mal?" He asked.

"My water broke."

I was on a hospital bed and getting rushed to a room. Ash told me he was going to call the rest of the boys. To be honest, I hope Luke has the guts to come and see his own child, I thought to myself.

After about thirty minutes, I was in a hospital gown, and had doctors touching me in that spot I really didn't want to be touched in.

"Yep, your water broke, and you're dilated 2 cm." The doctor smiled. "I'm going to let your friends in now." She walked out for about five minutes.

I just stared at the ceiling and thought about Luke. What if he moved back to Australia?

"Mal!!!" Two boys said in unison. I smiled at them and they came to hug me.

"I missed you guys! How is everything going?" I asked.

"Mal. . .We have to tell you something." The two boys - Cal and Michael - looked at me then to Ash who nodded.

"What is it?" I asked. I was now worried.

"Luke moved back to Australia with Ashley and her children." Called it!! But Ashley?! She's the reason this child isn't going to see his own father!!

"Oh. Well, this baby isn't going to have anyone to call his father." I said, on the bridge from crying.

"I'll be his father." I heard Ashton say.

I looked at him, but he was looking at the ground. He seemed embarrassed for saying it, but I was glad he said it.

"Thanks, Ash. I love you." Okay! That slipped out!! Why did I say that!!?

"I love you too!" He came running to me and gave me a huge hug and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"So. . .Does that make you guys. .?" Calum started and pointed at both of us.

Ash and I looked at each other and he nodded.

"Yeah, it does." He smiled and walked to the chair against the wall next to me.

Several hours past, and o want dilated enough to have Elijah yet. It bummed me out because I'm hurting so bad and I want him now!

Ash fell asleep about and hour ago and I was there just staring at the wall in front of me. I thought about Ashton being the "father" of this baby, and I had a smile on my face instantly. He seemed gentle and sweet already, and that's all you need in a guy for him to be good with kids.

Finally, I feel my life is getting back together.
