One Shots

You Can Pause a Video Game (Jake Pitts)

Iris's POV

"Trixiy, when did your daddy say he was coming home?" I asked. She barked and ran to her bed. Jake has been gone on tour for two months. I forget when he is supposed to be coming home. We've only been together for eleven months. I miss him so much. I curled up in our bed and started to cry a bit. I just want to hear his voice. They should be on the road now to the next venue. I grabbed my phone and texted Jake to call me when he was done playing on the Xbox with the guys. I sighed and put on some Every Avenue. My iPad started ringing saying that I got a Skype call. It was Jake. I wiped my tears away and answered it. "Hi baby girl." He said. "Hi Jakey." I said. "Honey, you never have to wait till I'm done playing. There is a pause button that I can use at any moment to see your pretty face or hear your beautiful voice." He said. I smiled. "Marry me now." I whispered. "I would love to. Open the door." He said. I walked to our bedroom door and there he was on one knee holding a ring. I covered my mouth and started to cry again but happy tears. He slipped the ring on my finger and kissed me. "Jake I thought you ha a month left of tour." I said. "Jinxx and CC are really sick so we had to cut the tour short." He said. I hugged him tightly and buried my face into his neck. "By the way Iris, don't cry. You don't ever need to cry when I'm here to make you happy." He said. I smiled and kissed him. We laid down and cuddled on the bed while he kissed my head. I finally got a good nights sleep for the first time in two months. I woke up from my nap and found Jake playing Black Ops. I chuckled. No surprise there. I saw him pause the game and turn his head. "Have a good nap?" He asked. I nodded. He kissed me softly. "Jake, I love you." I said. "I love you too, Iris. More than you will ever know." He said. I smiled and my stomach started to churn for the millionth time these past months. I put my head in the pillow and moaned. "Baby, are you okay?" Jake asked. I shook my head no. He rubbed my back. I jumped from bed and ran to the bathroom. I leaned over the toilet and threw up all the contents of my stomach. I felt Jake hold my hair back. I wiped my mouth off and flushed the toilet. "Babe, go play your game. I'm gonna shower." I said. "Okay, I'm in the next room if you need me. Call me for anything." He said kissing me. I smiled and nodded. I started shaking. I didn't want it to come to this but I reached under the sink in the bathroom and pulled out something. I followed the directions and waited. After five minutes I saw a pink plus sign on the stick. I fell to the ground and started crying. I guess Jake heard me because I heard the tv pause and him banging on the door. "Iris, open up. Please babe." He said. I didn't. I sat there on the ground clutching the stick. He broke down the door and looked at me. "Baby, what's wrong?" He asked. "I can't tell you. You will hate me." I said. "Iris, I could never hate you." He said looking into my eyes. My eyes fell to my hands and he looked down. I opened up my hands and he looked shocked. "It's positive." I said. "That's great." He said. "Really?" I asked. "Yes, Iris, I'm so excited. I can't wait till our little miracle gets here." He said. I smiled and kissed him. "I wonder how Trixiy will feel." I said laughing. "She will be happy." He said hugging me. I got up and stripped and got in the shower. Jake joined me and we got out. We ate dinner and watched movies in bed. Jake didn't take his hands off my tummy all night which made me smile.
