Isla's POV -

Daniel, Luke, Jai and James had gone to had gone to get food as Skip hadn't eaten properly, leaving Sierra, Veronica and I alone. It was nice spending a bit of time with the girls, but we were soon interrupted by yet another nurse. "Miss.Rhodes?" She asked as she walked in, holding a clip board and highlighting notes. "Call me Isla." I said, I'd had enough of hearing my surname, the one us gained from my father, the man that had ran out on me as a child and not bothered to contact me since. "Okay, so Isla, we have your results back and both if you are absolutely fine, you're lucky you've got such a fighter." She spoke smiling to herself and lowering the clipboard. "Both of us?" I questioned, was she talking about Beau? Did she think him and I were together? I already knew Beau was okay. "You and the baby." She smiled again, "It's strong and healthy." I froze, Sierra and Veronica were opened mouthed staring at me, as if I'd kept a secret from them, but I hadn't even known myself. "Baby?" I questioned, breaking down in floods if tears.

"You didn't know?" The nurse questioned in shock, that's when I realised, because of how thin I'd become, my periods had stopped, the weight I'd been gaining wasn't because of my eating, it was because I was carrying another human being. "N-no." I stuttered and tried to bring myself together, "how long?" I questioned, the only thought running through my head was that it might not be Daniel's child. "Two-three weeks, we can't be sure until your first scan." She said shyly, obviously feeling slightly awkward that she's dropped all this on me. I felt sorry for her, my first reaction wasn't great and I still wasn't sure how I felt about it, I'm only nineteen. "I'll leave you to take in the news." She mumbled and exited the room almost as fast as she has entered it. The room stayed silent, I knew Sierra was dying to say something, she always was, but none of us could find the words. After a few minutes, she gave in, "A baby Daniel is going to be a right pain in the arse." she laughed, making me and Roni laugh too, she was right, one Daniel was enough to deal with. "Seriously Lala, what are you going to do?" she asked, turning all serious.

I had no idea what do to, how was I suppose to tell skip? This could make or break us. What if Daniel didn't like it? Did I even want this? If I did, who's happiness came first? I'd always thought I'd do anything for Daniel, but maybe this would change things, why was I being to negative all of a sudden? Question after question swam around my head, making it ache and I began to feel tired. "I don't know Sierra, I really don't know." I replied, realising I'd kept her waiting to long, I wanted to cry, but the tears refused to fall. "Isla, we will always be here for you, whatever you decide." Veronica stood up and hugged me tightly, I'd be lost without these girls, they were my saviours. "you have to tell him though baby, you know that right?" Sierra brought reality back towards me and my heart sank into my chest. I nodded and wrapped my arms around my stomach, protecting the life inside of me, and suddenly, I began to smile. After everything that had happened to me lately, this was a miracle, a sign of hope. "Don't say anything to Luke and James, I need Skip to find out from me, you can't say a word to anyone!" I told the girls sternly, they grumbled and promised they wouldn't, we shared a hug and began giggling over ridiculous baby names and getting all gooey over tiny baby clothes.

"Baby annabel!" Sierra suggested, laughing, knowing that Beau would most likely be asked to be God-father, that was a definite no. "I'm not sure I'd want her to be dangled over a bridge and left in the middle of the road." I laughed, I felt happy, really happy, for the first time in a long time. "But it has to be a girl okay because I want to buy cute little dresses and put bows in her hair." Sierra gushed and started talking about taking her for her first drink when she turns eighteen and all that other crap. "guys, I don't even know if I'm keeping it yet." I said, I couldn't stop myself it just fell out. Sierra backed away from me, shock in her face. "what do you mean? An abortion?" she gasped, looking both angry and disappointed. Veronica looked just as hurt by what I'd said, I looked at the floor, trying to avoid their glares. "but what if it isn't Daniel's?" I began crying again, remembering everything Benji had done to me, there was a possibility I could have fallen pregnant through rape. "I can't have Benji's baby." I finished, and both girls immediately hugged me and comforted me.

Skip's POV -

"next please!" the cashier shouted, I couldn't stand to sit in the hospital cafe, surrounded by sick people and a depressive mood lingering around. Me and the boys had gone to the nearest maccas and ordered the biggest meal I could afford, I hadn't eaten in 28 hours, and barely slept either so I needed to regain some energy. "I wonder what girls talk about when they're alone?" Luke voiced his question loudly, making the rest of us laugh. He face palmed, embarrassed and shook his head in his hands. "Luke, bro, do you really want to know?" Jai laughed and Luke decided his question was something he didn't want the answer too. We ate and laughed, "I have taken Beau home, see you later Jye, Shay." Jai read his text out loud and tutted when he realised she had called him Jye. "cunt." he whispered to himself, but loud enough for us all to hear. "I wonder if Sierra talks about how big my dick is, and compares it with yours, with Isla and Roni?" Luke voiced his thoughts again, James Hughes him lightly and told him to shut up, but laughed as he did so. "I'm going to go home, Shay said she needs help lifting beau from his chair properly and I'm tired, Luke?" Jai asked his brother if he was going but Luke shook his head and said he'd be back later with Sierra.

"Now that faggots gone, we can call Ariana." Luke suggested and picked up his phone, dialling her number and hoping the time zones weren't going to be a problem.

Ari: Luke?

Luke: Yeah it's me, are you packed yet?

Ari: yes! I'm so excited, on my way to the airport now.

Luke: well obviously with everything happening with Beau, I've booked you and Jai into a hotel for the few days you're here.

Ari: Aww thanks Luke, such a sweetheart. I can't wait to see you all again and meet the girls, I just wish I could stay longer.

Luke: It'll be a blast, just remember to keep it secret!

Ari: same goes to you, see you in 26 hours!

Luke: see you Ari!

"she's on her way boys, Jai's going to be crazy when he finds out." Luke was so excited about the plan he, Beau and Ariana had come up with, he smiled smugly and put away his phone. "He's going to kill you Bro." James answered, everything blew over my head, suddenly I felt the need to be with Isla, as if something wasn't right, she needed me. "Boys, we need to head back." I said, worried about my girlfriend, who wasn't even my girlfriend. I still has the bracelet in my pocket, ready to give to her, but unable to find a right time. What if she didn't want me anymore? "Yeah, I'm stuffed anyway!" Luke groaned and rubbed his stomach as the three of us stood up and left, walking fast towards the hospital.
