Loud footsteps came pounding down the corridor,gradually getting closer and closer to my door.My heart began to race,frantically in my chest and well..when I looked back at Austin I knew he felt the same.

A tall,skinny pale woman emerged in her late 30s with short shoulder length hair."Ms Whitehall" she said her voice showing no emotion whatsoever "we received our tests back from the lab,alongside the scan we operated whilst you were unconscious...You and your partner are very,very lucky indeed.We have no evidence of a miscarriage,However I think that you should take this as a sign or a warning of some sort to cut out,whatever it is that's causing this huge outburst of stress,it's not good for either you OR the baby"."Thank you,so much" Austin said in relief whilst shaking her hand."Thankyou" I whispered,with little energy,the drugs I had been given taking over my whole body,making me feel exhausted "I should leave you to rest,it's been a long day for you I can imagine..oh and one more thing Ive booked a scan in next Friday,Since your around two months gone now,it will hopefully allow you to see your baby's progress" she smiled whilst walking out the door.

SHIT it's been TWO MONTHS where the hell did that go,whoa I need to tell my parents I thought to myself in panick.Austin seemed to sense this as he clambered into the hospital bed with me.

AUSTINS POV

I cupped her cheek in my hand and kissed her on the forehead softly,I knew this whole thing was hard for her,I knew this was the time when a girl needed her mothers comfort,to hep her,to tell her everything's going to be okay.,,We needed to tell them,We needed to tell our parents .

Cecelia began to doze off in my arms,her warm body on my chest.I really didn't want to move,to jut stay in this moment forever,but I had to get back to reality.Telling my mom.I slowly slid Cecelia's head back onto her soft,white cushion,and quietly,tiptoed out of the room.I felt lonely knowing Alex and Ella were probably off on a cutesy date somewhere,completely oblivious to today's events whilst I was In total panick.

My finger hovered over my moms cell phone number when she suddenly emerged around the corner,with a puzzled look on her face "Austin" she said in surprise "What are you doing here?"I replied in total shock,how the fuck did she know "I saw an a-ambulance,t-t-they told me that a Mr Mahone came in earlier with a Ms Whitehall and that they were in room 223,I was searching all over the place,but I couldn't find it ,then a nurse pointed it out that it is in the maternity area,AUSTIN why is Cecelia in a maternity ward",I can honestly say right there,right then I have never ever seen my mom so worried and confused.

"Mom,Cecelia's...Pregnant,I-I/We wanted to tell you but we weren't ready"I stood there in silence not wanting to take my focus off of the ground,I felt ashamed yet I don't know why,I felt like she was disappointed,disappointed that we didn't use protection,disappointed that we didn't tell her soon enough and most of all disappointed with Cecelia

.I looked up to find her in a daze,smiling uncontrollably "so does this mean I'm going to be a grandmother then?"she said in excitement,with a big,huge ever growing grin "yes,yes it does" I laughed in relief.We stood there,in that tiny cramped isle,that smelt like disinfectant for what seemed like a decade talking about names,gender,all sorts then it most have dawned on her "Do her parents know yet?" "No,I think she's waiting for her dad to get back so she can do it properly" I said in reassurance."oh I see,well can I go see her then"She said as she shot up from her chair making her way across the corridor to room 223,"mom wait" I muttered,She clearly didn't hear,as she walked in.I stood by the door,took In a deep breath and walked in closing the glossy,wooden door behind me.Theres no going back.Cecelia's blue eyes began to widen as she heard the after effect from the deliberate slamming of the door.Her eyes focused on my mom and they began to widen.I could read her mind."how are you honey" my mum asked in concern as she took a seat in the burgundy chair next to Cecelia's bed,"I'm good I guess" she replied to my mom as she shot me a death glare.I pretended like I hadn't noticed,before I resumed pacing up and down at the bottom of her bed."Hey listen sweetie,I know-I know this is hard for you,but you have my support every step of the way,I'm here any time,day or night,just know your not

alone okay".Cecelia smiled for the first time,and my mom mirrored her smile back.Could things be looking up now?
