Pregnant and Alone

Week 8

Luke was an emotional wreck.

He sat in front of his closet, sniffling and wiping his continuous tears as he searched through the piles of clothes. He took every clothing item he owned in that closet and went through them all as he sat on the floor. He couldn't find anything to where and it was frustrating him beyond believe.

He suddenly wishes that Calum was here with him. Calum would have been able to soothe and calm the blonde boy down. He would have been able to find something for Luke to wear. Just the thought of his dead best friend made him sob harder.

Just as he thought things could get any worse, he heard a knock on the door. Luke did his best to fix his hair and wipe away his tears. He didn't feel like caring about the red blotches on his pale face. He eventually went to the door and frowned, seeing Michael. He opened the door.

"I'm so sorry I'm not ready yet. I thought I had more time."

Michael smiles sympathetically and shuts the door behind him. "I'm glad I came early. It looks like you need my help."
Mikey walked back to Luke's room, smiling fondly at the boy when he sits in between the pile of clothes.

"I couldn't decide what to wear." Luke pouts, looking at his hands.
Michael chuckles and kneels beside the pregnant boy, lifting the younger boy's chin so they are looking each other eye to eye. "You would look cute in anything, Luke. I don't give a damn about what you wear cause I'm interested in you as a human. Not by looks."

Luke's cheeks turned bright red, not able to tear his eyes away from the emerald pair that gazed softly at him. "Thank you."

Michael smiled, helping Luke up from his spot on the floor. "No problem, now let's get you dressed for our date."

The blue haired boy looked at the piles, sifting through the clothes. He found a black blazer and navy blue button up, perfect for Luke to wear this evening. He gave the clothes to Luke and walked out of his bedroom, giving him privacy.

Fifteen minutes later, Luke walks out of his bedroom smelling great, hair perfect and clothing making him look stunning. Michael admired that Luke wore his converse with his fancy apparel.

"Ready to start our date?"

Luke gulped and nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be."

Dear Baby,

Michael and I finally went on a date. I'm not normally the one to ask guys out but I'm glad he was brave enough to ask me. It was a beautiful and memorable date and I absolutely loved it. Even if the food was overpriced and had little servings, it was still amazing to spend time with Michael. We ended up ditching the fancy place and went to the nice pizzeria across the street.

Whenever we talk about you, his face brightens. More than Mr. And Mrs. VanBüns. I feel my heart melt at that look he gives me. But I'm scared, boo. What if it's Casey all over again? What if he leaves after a few months? I'm worried but you shouldn't worry yet. You've got a ways to come.

I love you, little nugget.

Love Daddy
