Your Body With Somebody Else. BWS

Reassurance

Alysia's mums POV

Alysia stands up and tries to reassure him that's it was nothing but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He really is a nice lad and it's obvious he cares about Lissy. She grabs his hand and takes him into her bedroom to talk. We clear up the dinner plates. I sit my drunk husband in front of the TV.

"Is everything ok?" Connor asks. He's a sweetie.

"We'll explain later." Star says to him.

Lissy and Brad have been in her room for a while. I knock on the door. I hear Brad whisper 'come in!' I open the door and Brad's lying on the bed with Alysia curled up next to him with her head on his chest asleep. I laugh a little.

"How long has she been like that?" I ask.

"About 20 minutes?" He laughs. "I don't mind though. She told me what happened." I sigh and sit on the end of the bed.

"Yeah, well I think she's sorry you had to find out this way. She didn't tell you before?" I ask him.

"No. I should have guessed about the OCD though. Her room and her office are immaculate. And the way she organised the papers after the interview, and other little things she does. But I never would have guessed about the..." He stops and looks at her. He has his arm curled around her, his hand tangled in her hair.

"I just want you to know that I really care about her. I didn't tell her about the tour because I knew it would hurt her so I... I put it off. I really wish I hadn't now. And reason that we... that's she... got pregnant was because after the interview she wouldn't even look at me and I hated her being annoyed with me. I didn't mean to take advantage of her like that. I really like her and I just had to make her see that but it just... one thing lead to another and well you can imagine what happened." He laughs half-heartedly. "I just think her life would be so much better if she hadn't met me. I got her into this mess. She's not ready for a baby at the moment, let alone the possibility of two. She's so focused on her career, what's going to happen to that? And I have to go back to the tour. I can't leave my job. And I can't leave Lissy! But I also need to provide for the baby and I am kicking myself right now." He says tears in his eyes.

"Oh sweetie!" I say to him. "Don't worry about them! They will be ok. She won't let a baby get in the way of her job, she's wanted to do it for 6 years!" I try to reassure him. "Just don't abandon them." I say to him.

"Oh don't worry that's not going happen." He says. He lifts her up and carefully lays her back down on the bed. He puts the covers over her and kisses her on the head.

"Brad, we should go. It's getting late and there's a hotel nearby." Connor says quietly as he comes in.

"God Con don't be stupid! You can both stay here!" Star shouts at him. He smiles. "Thanks Star."

"We're going to go now love, thanks for dinner!" I say hugging Star.

I hug Brad and then Connor.

"Tell Lissy I'll text her." I lead my drunk husband to the door and we leave.

Connor's POV

"Are you sure you're comfortable on the sofa because my bed is still up for grabs?" She says kindly.

"I'm sure thanks. I feel like it's too soon for us. Brad and Lissy are ok, I mean she's already pregnant so what's the worst that could happen?" I laugh slightly.

"I totally agree, I just didn't want to push you out by making you sleep on the sofa." I walk up to her and cup her face. She leans in and kisses me gently but intensely, her hands around my arms. We pull away but her hands remain on my biceps.

"Wow, you have nice arms." She breathes. I chuckle.

"Thanks." I laugh.

She lets go and enters her bedroom and shuts the door behind her. I lie on the sofa, snuggle under the quilt Star gave me and fall asleep thinking about what's going to happen to us all after this.
