"Can i take your drink order?" The waiter says with a smile as he approached the table you and Calum were sat at.
"Yeah i'll take a beer and she'll take a water." Calum says with a smile the waiter nods with a smile back and walks off to fetch the drinks for the two of you.
It was yours and Calum's 3 year anniversary and Calum planned a nice day for the both of you, You went to the beach and hung out for a bit, Walked around, sight seeing, Had a nice lunch, Went home for a nap and now out for dinner.


"I love it when you order for me." You say sarcastically and he laughs.
"I'm sorry i can't help it!" He says with a shy smile as he looks down at the table.
"No really i do love it, it's cute!" you say as you reach over and grab his hand.
"You still don't have your ring on.." He says with a bit of disappointment on his face.
"Yeah, Well i knew we were going to the beach and i didn't want it to fall off or something." You say. Calum looks at you with a raised eyebrow, He knows exactly why you weren't wearing it.
"Babe, The reason you get an engagement ring is to wear it all times, You know to show off that you have an amazing fiance." He says with a smirk, You let out a scoff and roll your eyes.
"Or you know.. So i can leave my mark. Show the other guys whose Alfa!" He says as he puffs out his chest and flexes his arms, You burst out laughing but soon calm yourself as the waiter was back with your drinks, Calum awkwardly thanks him and he can't help but laugh as the waiter walks off with a weird look on his face.
"Seriously though babe, I want you to wear it, I don't care about the press or people talking about it." He says.
"I know, But I hate that we can never have a secret to ourselves and if people keep believing that it's just a rumor it makes the whole thing feel a little more special, Like it's just our own business, No one else's. I like having something that no one knows about or only cares about just so than can have a stupid headline in their articles."You say, He gives you smile and kisses your hand.
"I love you." He says with a smile.
"And i love you." You say.


During dinner you both talked about random stuff, What you liked about the trip, What your favorite place that you've been to has been, You guys talked about Ashton and Bry, And how you guys need to come up with a plan to get Michael a girlfriend, What you liked most about Michael, What you liked most about each other, Wedding dates and songs to dance to at weddings, Who was going to be in his grooms men, All the boys of course, Mikey being his best man. And it made you think. You didn't have many girlfriends to ask to be in your wedding as bridesmaids, Beside Bry and Mali, Mali being your maid of honor of course.
"I don't want my mother there." You say point blank and Calum just looks at you with sad eyes.
"I mean, I know you guys don't get along but.." He starts.
"I just.. I don't feel like she's my family, So i mean why invite her you know?" You explain.
"What about your dad?" He asks and you just shake your head no.

"You don't want any family there?" He asks

"You are my family." You say and he smiles as he leans over and kisses you.
"Is it okay with you if i ask your dad if it's okay to take your hand in marriage?" He asks.
"Aren't you supposed to ask the father if it's okay to ask if you can propose?" You ask with a laugh.
"Well i mean technically you proposed.." He says with a smirk.
"You don't have to ask him Cal, He won't care so he'll say yes anyway, He probably doesn't even know our relationship exists." You say, With a chuckle
"I know but, It's the respectful thing to do.." He says.
"Like i said about my mother, The same thing goes for my dad, I don't see him as my father so there's really no point in it." You say,
"Right." Calum says with disappointed look on his face as he looks down at his plate.
"But i mean, If you want to love, You can." You say with a smile And he gives you a half hearted smile back.
"Maybe we can stop by his place on the way back to Aus?" He asks and you just nod your head.
You loved how sweet and respectful he was, It made you proud to call him yours and you loved how even though he really didn't care if your father was okay with the engagement and the marriage he still wanted to be a good person and ask for his blessing.

As you guys arrived back at the house almost everyone was asleep already, Mikey was was still awake with Ashton, outside playing pool, You and Calum said hi to them before heading off to bed, Bry was sat reading in the living room and you guys said hi to her as well, She asked about the date and you talked to her for a bit while Calum talked to Mali for a second,


You both were getting changed and ready for bed when you could hear what sounded like arguing in the room next you, It was Luke's room so you knew it had to be him and Arz arguing, You couldn't hear exactly what they were saying but after about ten minutes or so you heard the door open and shut and then the front door open and shut, Calum walked over to the window and peeked through.
"It's Arzaylea, i think she's leaving." Calum says.
"Maybe i should go talk to Luke." He says.
"Just wait until he comes to you, It's late and he's obviously upset i think talking to anyone right now is the last thing on his mind." You explain and he nods his head in agreement.
You brushed your teeth, as you looked down you saw the engagement ring, the sight automatically made you smile, You grabbed it and slipped on your finger admiring the tiny gem, To be honest Calum could have given you a candy ring and you would still be just as happy, You walked out of the bathroom, into your room and Calum was already in bed, He was scrolling through his phone and you climbed in the bed next to him, Grabbing the phone and putting it on the table next to the bed, You snuggled up into his arms and for the rest of the night you guys watched films until you fell asleep.

3:30 AM
You jerked awake with a sick feeling in your throat, You must have woken Calum, As he sits up next to you putting his hand on your back.
"You okay love?" He asks as he gently rubs your back.
"Sorry i just felt like was going to be si-" And before you could finish your sentence, You jumped out of the bed and rushed into the bathroom were you let it all out in the toilet. Calum came rushing in right after you, Kneeling beside you he held your hair and rubbed you back, He gabbed some tissue and wiped your face as you sat back, Leaning your back against the bathroom wall.
"Is it what you ate?" He asks.
"I don't know, i felt fine until just now..." You say trying to catch your breath.
"You don't look ill.." He says.
"I feel fine now." You say, Calum helped you up and walked you back to the bed, He left to get you water and sat there trying to think what the problem was, Why you got sick all of a sudden.
And then it hit you.
"Please god don't let me be pregnant." You whisper to yourself.
"Pregnant?" You hear a voice say, You turned around to see Luke stood in the door way. His arms crossed and shock spread across his face.
