The Pregnancy

Chapter 29

ALEX'S POV

"Luke, I didn't want you coming home because of what you said about your child, our child. I want you to take time and rethink everything. Rethink whether or not you want this child, whether or not you want this family. All I know right now is that Niall not only wants me, but he wants this child as well. So for now I'm going to try and make this work. Niall treats me better then you ever did. Come talk to me when you've figured out your life and figured out whether or not that includes me and this baby. So for now you need to leave and let me and Niall enjoy our date." I said patiently waiting for him to get up.

"Alex don't do this. Of course I want this family, just give me a second chance." Luke said with pain in his voice. Has he been crying? "Alex please. Don't give up on us." Luke said tears starting to flow down his face. "I need you." He said when I sat down next to Niall. He put his arm around me knowing this whole conversation is making me upset.

"Luke you know I've always wanted a picture perfect family, but as we both know that doesn't exist. I can't do all this fighting right now, it's not good for the baby. I think it might be best you guys go on tour without me and maybe we can all meet up and have a conversation in Minnesota. We can reconvene then. But right now I can't do this with you right now Luke. Please go have fun with the boys, tell them all I said hi." I said giving him a half smile and looking over at Niall  so I didn't have to see the look on Luke's face.

"Luke, please just go." Niall said pulling me into a hug as I tried to control myself. "We can go on tour and meet up with her together and be abstinent on tour together and everything. But for now you need to go." Niall said as I saw Ashton walking up to us out of the corner of my eye.

"There you are I thought you got lost in the bathroom or something. He Niall, oh are you on a date?" Ashton asked as I shoved my face into Niall hoping he wouldn't notice me. "Sorry if Luke was being out of line, he told me what happened and I know he can be an asshole sometime but he didn't mean it. We will get out of your hair. Have fun on your date. Bye Alex." He said as he grabbed Luke and left.

"I was kind of hoping he didn't know it was me." I said as I got up and sat on my side of the booth. "I'm sorry about whatever he said to you while I was in the bathroom. He can be a giant pain in the ass sometimes but whatever it is he said, he didn't mean it." I said grabbing his hand from across the table.

"Trust me Alex, he meant it. All he wants is for you to give him a chance. He just kept telling me how he wants you back and how he wants his family intact. He broke down in front of me, he really does care. I don't want to give you up, I don't want to say this at all, but you need to give him a chance. That's the babies family, his dad. No one wants to grow up with separated parents. Alex, you won't hurt my feelings if you don't want to do this anymore. You have a baby to think of now." He said when the waitress brought our food.

"Can we just drop it, at least for now please." I begged not wanting to even eat anymore. "I just want to enjoy the last little bit I even have with you. You go on tour in a couple days Niall lets just focus on that." I said taking a bite of my food. "Are you excited?" I asked trying to change the subject. Niall rolled his eyes knowing I was trying to avoid the white elephant in the room.

"Yeah, I guess." He said not even looking at me. 

"How is everything tonight?" The waitress asked with a really preppy voice. We both just nodded with a mouth full of food. You know that annoying thing that waiters do when they seem to be watching you until you get a giant mouthful of food, then they rush over to ask you how everything is? I'm convinced its so they don't have to listen to people bitch about how they don't like the food. I mean I don't blame them, who likes confrontation? 

"I bet." I said not quite knowing what to say. This is the most awkward date I've ever been on. Well honestly I haven't been on many dates but from the whole like five that I've been on, this takes the cake. I watched as Niall kept checking his watch as if he had somewhere to be. "Do you need to be somewhere? I can always get a ride home from Luke." I said as Niall's head snapped up. 

"No, I don't want you going anywhere with him. You're clearly mad at him and I don't want you even more mad, or heck you might even get mad at me for leaving you with him. Alex can we just pretend like this whole night never happened?" He asked as we were finishing up our food.

"I'm more then okay with that." I said as Niall put down $100 and we left. We rode home in complete silence, and I thought dinner was awkward. I have a feeling the rest of the night is going to be the same, that is if he even stays over. 

It took about twenty long awkward minutes but we finally pulled up to my house. "You're welcome to come in and watch a movie or just hang out with me and BG if you want." I said giving him a small smile.

"Early band practice tomorrow. I think I should go home and get a good nights sleep." He said as I could sense he was just making excuses.

"You always say how you sleep better with other people, you can just sleep over if you want." I said trying to find a way out of his excuses.

"I have to get up at 5:00, I don't want to wake you. It's okay Alex, I'll call you tomorrow maybe we can do something then." He said giving me the same small smile back at me. 

"I mean I can always go back to sleep if you did wake me, but I understand that you don't want to. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said leaning in to kiss him. He pulled away and looked out the window as if he was breaking up with me or something. I got the hint and quickly tried to rush out of the car.

"Alex wait!" He shouted at me before I could shut the door and run into the house. 

"Yeah?" I asked turning around hoping he was going to apologize.

"BG is in the neighbors yard." He said pointing through the windshield at my little escape artist.

"How the hell did he get out?" I muttered to myself walking over and picking him up as Niall sped off. "Well BG it looks like it's just you and me for the next six months." I said kissing his head and walking into the house.
