The Pregnancy

Chapter Two

I had a dream last night, Luke and I broke up when he found out I was expecting to have our baby leaving me to be a single mother. Telling me how he has always told me he hated kids and never wanted them, saying how I should have seen this coming.

It's 6:50 now, the news should be coming any minute now. Luke and Ashton were sound asleep. I was still cuddled into Ashton, his arm wrapped around my waist holding me close. Luke was cuddled up against the wall with no covers because I tend to steal the blankets at night. I unraveled myself from Ashton stretching out beside the bed. I grabbed my half of the covers and gave them to Luke. He immediately cuddled into them as if it was something that he had lost as a 3 year old and found it again at the age of 6.

I went over and sat down at the chair that was across the room. I sat there and watched Ashton and Luke sleep. Both of my boys sleeping peacefully, unaware that I was just minutes away from finding out if I was going to be a mother or not. I heard the nurses rustling around outside of my room. I knew it was coming, the news was just sitting outside of that door in a cream colored folder in some ladies hands, some lady I have never met. She holds the answers to my questions, the answer that could make or break my relationship.

"Ms. Johnson?" I heard a whisper as the lady stepped into the room. She looked over at the bed expecting me to be in there, she looked confused when she saw the boys.

"Over here." I whispered as she came closer to me knowing I didn't want to wake up the boys.

"Are you Alex?" She asked me as I nodded. This is a pregnancy test and you are coming into a room that has two boys and a girl did you honestly have to ask that? "I have your test results on the pregnancy test." She said as I took a big breath, this is it.

LUKE'S POV

Pregnancy tests? Did that nurse just say pregnancy tests? I woke up around the time when Alex covered me up when she was trying to get out of bed without waking anyone up. I was expecting to find out whether or not she broke her foot, not if she was pregnant. She's only seventeen. This can't be happening. I never wanted kids and she knows that, in fact I hate them! I'm not ready to break up with Alex, I was honestly thinking about marrying her.

"What do they say?" She asked clearly scared of the answer that is on that paper, the answer that could change our lives forever.

"You are in fact pregnant." The nurse said as my heart sank. I am going to be a dad. And Alex is going to be a mom. My heart starts to flutter thinking about starting a family with Alex, maybe once I let this news sink in I'll want this baby. But then there is that weird connection she has with Ashton. I don't know if I am the only one who notices these types of things when we are all together as a band but it is defiantly there. Maybe it's not even my baby. Maybe they have that weird connection because they are hooking up. That explains why she didn't tell me, why Ashton told me she thinks she broke her foot.

"I'm..... I'm.... I'm pregnant?" She said as I could tell she had tears rolling down her face. Why is she sad? Is it because this kid isn't mine? "How am I going to tell Luke?" She cried as I could tell the nurse was getting uncomfortable, because let's be real who wouldn't be uncomfortable in that situation. I felt Ashton get out of bed, I rolled over pretending to still be asleep. I opened my eyes slightly so no one would notice. Ashton was over there comforting MY girlfriend.

"Shhhh it's going to be okay he will understand. You just have to find the right time to tell him that you are pregnant with his baby. Just don't let him know about me, he will not want to know you told me first." Ashton said as I just wanted to sit up and freak out that she told our best friend before she told me, the man who got her pregnant!

"But what if he gets mad, what if he dumps me because he's always said he never wanted kids? What if he tries to be okay with the idea of us having kids then end up dumping me because I am too hormonal when I am pregnant." She cried into his shoulder.

I couldn't just sit here and listen to her, I got up and walked over to here. "Alex... I would never leave you alone like this. Am I mad that you are pregnant? No, I'll just have to try and get used to the idea of a family. Am I mad that you told Ashton before me? A little bit. But you need to know that I would NEVER leave you alone on the street like that." I said as I kneeled down next to the chair that her and Ashton were sitting in. "I love you and I will never stop loving you."

ASHTON'S POV

"I love you and I will never stop loving you." Luke said looking deep into Alex's eyes.It seemed like just yesterday I was the one telling Alex that right before we decided to break up. 

The wind was blowing her hair out of her face as if it were a scene in a movie. We were at the park swinging on the swings. She was looking at me like we she was still in love but there was something very wrong. "Ashton I don't think our relationship is working out. All we do is fight..." She said before I cut her off.

"We do not!" I argued quickly realizing she was right.

"See right there! You are trying to fight right now! We NEVER fought this much as friends, I think we should go back to that, just friends." She said as I looked down at the ground. I could feel the tears wanting to spill out.

We got into my car, her only being fifteen me being almost seventeen so of course I could drive and she couldn't so I couldn't just storm off and leave her there. We got into the car and went back to her house. "Alex?" I said as she opened the door to get out. She turned around and looked at me. "Just know that no matter what I will love you, and I will always love you. Even when we are in relationships I will love you." I said pulling her in and kissing her one last time.

"Ashton I will always love you too, no matter what. Trust me there will never come a time when I look at you I  won't love you, even if I have a boyfriend." She said kissing me on the cheek and walking into the house closing the door behind her.

And as I sit in this chair and watch Luke carry her over to the bed, I realize I am still in love with her. I have never been out of love with her and I will never be out of love with her. She is my rock, my love, my soul, my best friend, my everything. I know I have questioned a lot in my life like my hair cut, the clothes I am wearing, and the friends that I have in my life right now. But if there is anything that I have not questioned about my life it is my love for Alex, the way she makes me feel just when she smiles at me. They way she makes me feel just by being in the same room as me. That is how I know I am still in love with her, and forever will be in love with her.
