Chapter 9

*6 months later*

"God, Luke, this is hurting me."

"Sorry babe, I have to insert this part in."

"But it hurts Lukey, I can't hold on this much longer."

"We've been doing this for so long, we can't give up now. Oh look, we've done it!"

I collapse onto the floor. "Why does making baby furniture hurt so much?"

Luke chuckles and quickly puts down the high chair we constructed together then lies next to me.

"Giving birth will be worse honey. Now that's finished." His hand travels up my thigh, "They won't be home for ages."

"Luke please stop being horny and consider that I am really fat and I can barely move. It's been only 8 months, and I have one more. This is torture, and I'm sure too much sex is bad for the baby."

"I thought I read somewhere that its actually good for you," Luke shrugs innocently, and I giggle.

"Aw you did, did you?" I answer in the same tone of voice, lightly pushing his shoulder.

"What? It was worth a try." I smile, and rest my head on the same shoulder I hit him on.

"Luke, what's going to happen when the baby comes?" I quietly ask, maternally pressing a hand to my stomach.

"I'll love him or her as if they were my own child. You are my life, Jess, and so they will be mine too. We'll be like a happy family." Gently he interlocks his fingers with mine, and leaves intertwined hands on his lap.

"But we'll be a secret happy family right?" I drop his hand, and place it onto my lap. He sighs, looking in the direction of the door.

"We will be a public happy family soon Jessie; I promise okay? It's just that we need to talk to them as a family and explain that we" he takes hold of my hand again and kisses it "are in love. They will understand soon enough. Sure, they are going to freak, and your dad will hit me, but its all worth it if I can spend the rest of my life with you and the baby."

"I love you, Lucas Robert Hemmings," I smile and he smiles back, taking my head in his hands and attaches my lips to his. Automatically, I respond, moving ever so slightly that I can amusingly push him onto the floor, which I do.

"Wow, this pregnancy has made you stronger," Luke chuckles.

I roll my eyes, "Just bloody kiss me, Luke." He goes from joking to serious and stares up at me, before pulling my shirt and reattaching our lips.

Before anything could happen, we were interrupted by the sound of banging on the door. Luke curiously get up, and quickly goes to get it.

"Calum, you can't talk to her okay? She doesn't want to see you." I sigh, and fiddle with the rug fringe. Ever since him and his girlfriend disproved of my adoption route, I haven't spoken to him nor Hannah. Sure, I have made up my mind that I am going to go ahead and keep the baby instead of adoption, but the fact that they argued with my opinion just annoyed me. It was unfair; so I thought that I would stay away for a long time.

Getting up, I tip toe to the stairs and slowly creep down some of the steps enough to see Luke and Calum but not enough for them to see me.

"Please Luke, I realising how crap of a friend I was, but we all learn from our mistakes?"

I can't help but smile when I see Luke hit Calum- without much force- on the arm. Calum frowns, rubbing his arm and Luke chuckles.

"Look Luke. I know how much Jess is hurting right now. From what I know, the guy doesn't even want to be apart of the child's life and being a single mother is hard so what I said was out of-"

"She won't be a single mother Calum.  She'll have me, because I'm in love with her." My heart stops, and so does the world around me. Sure, he's told me that he loves me, but never has he said he's in love with me.

"You what?" I say, bringing my presence to their attention. Calum is obviously thinking the same thing as I am, as he looks just as surprised. I walk down the stairs to where they were both standing.

"I'm in love with you, Jessie." His hands press against my cheeks and I look into his eyes with such admiration, such love. "The thought of this baby not being mine biologically doesn't even matter because we'll raise it together as a family."

The smile on my face couldn't get any wider as I go onto my tip toes and place my lips to his. I feel so content with life, in spite of the fact that I will be having a baby in less than a month.

Our kiss is interrupted by the sound of shopping bags dropping on the floor. I'm too frightened to see who has seen us, so Luke does it for me and awkwardly smiles. Looking with him, I see the whole gang- including my asshat of a dad.

"Guys, I can explain-" My dad doesn't give time for me to explain as he strides toward Luke and smashes him in the face. My first instinct is to cry, but as I see my dad raise his hand higher to deliver another blow I run in between the two. Luke is crouching on the floor holding onto his nose and my dad seems really pissed.

"Look, I know we aren't on the best terms dad but don't hurt him," I plead, moving closer to Luke. 

"What are you both doing?! You're my best fucking friend Luke and you shagged my daughter. How could I ever true you? This is wrong, Luke, you must see that."

"No, dad, it isn't." I stand in for Luke, who is still crouching in pain. "We are in love, can't you see that? You've been in love, yet you can't spot it happening in your own house. Just look at you- you are only thankful for this excuse to get rid of all that anger. But I won't ever let you use my boyfriend as a punching bag. And I'll tell you another thing-"

That's all I remember until I blacked out.
