Stay Strong Part 2 - New Life

Unexpected Gift

-ROISIN'S P.O.V-

"I.....I'm pregnant." I said. My voice was shaky. I couldn't believe it. I wasn't ready to have a baby. How could I raise a child of my own?

"Are you sure?" he asked. "Yeah I'm sure, there's a little blue cross on it." I said. Justin's head fell into the palms of his hands. I knew he was feeling exactly as I was feeling.

He walked over to me and wrapped his hands around my waist. I could see in his eyes that he was terrified. "I promised you I would never leave you side so I'm not going to. Remember, we fight through everything together, you and me, were a team." he said. Thank God he is being supportive. "Thank you Justin. That means a lot to me" I said. He bent down and pecked my lips. "You're welcome." "I love you." I said. "I love you too."

"We should get some rest now." he said taking my hand and leading me back to the bed. "Okay." I said. We got in under the blankets and again he wrapped his arms around me. It took my a while to fall asleep but eventually I fell asleep to the soft sound of Justin snoring.

I woke up next morning to an empty bed. "Justin?" I called sitting up and rubbing my eyes. "In the kitchen." he called back. I got up out of bed and fixed my hair as best I could and threw a hoodie on over my pyjama top. I walked out into the kitchen to see Justin standing there making pancakes.

"Morning beautiful." he said kissing my cheek. "Morning. I didn't know you could cook." I said. He had flour all over the kitchen and even on himself. He laughed. "I can't I'm following a recipe, can't be that hard right?" I saw the cook book lying out on the counter top. I just laughed at him. 

"Watch this." he said. He tossed the pancake up in the air and it landed on the floor. "Oh wow aren't you talented." I said sarcastically. He glared at me. "Shut up." he said. "That's what you get for showing off." I mocked.

Finally Justin served his pancakes and we sat around the island eating them and drinking orange juice. "So, about this baby." He swallowed a piece of pancake before continuing. "It scares me a little. I don't know how to raise a child Ro." he said. His voice went quiet. "Justin baby I feel the exact same way as you." "You do?" he asked.

"Of course, all first time mothers and fathers feel this way. It's scary at the start. But it's even scarier for us because we are barely adults." I said. Justin took another bite of his pancake. "You're right. I think maybe we should talk to my mom about this. She was our age when she had me." he said. "Good idea, let's Skype her today." I said.

Once I was finished my pancakes I went in for a shower. I wore a cream lace top with a cream tank top under that, light blue jeans and black heels. I tied my hair up into a messy bun and applied light make up.

-JUSTIN'S P.O.V-

I went in for my shower as soon as Roisin came out. I stepped into the shower and let the water run down my body.

How could I be stupid enough to not use protection. I should keep at least 3 condoms on my wallet or something. We're too young. This isn't the right time for a baby. Of course I want to have babies with Roisin but right now is bad timing. I want to be the best father that I can be to my kid but if I'm on the road 24/7 and in the studio how can I be a good dad?

Those were the things running through my head while I was in the shower. Saying I was scared and nervous was an understatement. I was terrified.

*1 hour later*

"You ready to Skype your mom?" asked Ro coming into the sitting room. "Ready." I said. I set up my laptop and went into Skype and called my mom.

"Hello guys what a surprise. How are ye?" said my mom waving into the camera on her laptop. We waved back. "Hi Pattie nice to see you." said Ro. "Hey mom, yeah we're doing okay, and you?" I asked. "I'm good thanks." said my mom nodding her head. "Um mom, we have something important that we need to talk to you about." I said. "What's the matter?" she asked concerned. I looked at Ro and she looked back at me and then turned to face my mom. "I'm pregnant." she said.

"You're...pregnant?" she questioned. We both nodded. "Oh my god....guys ye are old enough to know that protection is really important." she said sternly. "I know, we just forgot." I said. "And look what happened? Did ye think of the consequences?" she asked. Ro and I were silent.

"I'm not going to give ye a big long lecture but ye guys know that ye made a mistake." she said. I could tell she was disappointed in me, I could hear it in her voice. "Mom, we were wondering if you could give us some advice on parenting? Any tips at all?" I asked her. She paused for a moment.

"Well, I can't tell ye how to raise yer child but I can say this, don't let this come between ye okay? Ye need to maintain a strong relationship as a couple through out this, that's very important." she said. "I can't really say much because it's yer child and as the parents it's yer job to make yer own decisions."

My mom talked for a while about how it would be difficult and she gave tips on different methods to and stuff and we listened carefully. Ro even got a note pad and wrote down some tips that she thought might be useful. I took in everything my mom said, making mental notes of her words.

Then we talked about other stuff, like our wedding, the rest of my tour and where she would meet me. We talked for ages, it was nice to just chat with her. After about an hour mom had to go so we said good bye to her then shut off my laptop.

"I think what your mom said will be useful to us." said Ro. "Think so?" I asked. "Yeah, she gives great advice." she said. I kissed the top of her head. "I know."
