what started as a business deal is now a full blown affair for the stars organization.
leading man, Tyler Seguin, settling down is anything but what they expected.
but this situation is anything but what was expected.
"you're pregnant?!" riley and taylor screamed in unison
"yeah i am," i faked a smile and showed them the ultrasound pictures on my phone. my eyes were having a stare down with a bottle of rosé and the sight of every person here with a bottle of something was killing me.
"we're so happy for you. everyone is. you and tyler have the perfect life!"
i nodded and noticed antoine standing by the door, motioning me over to him.
"i think i'm going to get some air," i said before walking over to him. he grabbed my hand and took me outside. we walked for a few minutes before he sat me down on a porch swing situated on the property line of the spezza's home.
"please tell me it's a rumor!" he begged.
"nope!" i said with excitement.
"cut the bullshit harley i know you don't want this."
"and how do you even know what i want?" i argued
he smirked and bent down to where his lisp were right next to my ear, "because i could try something right now and you'd give in just to have a feeling that you don't belong to him. i know you harley. and i wish i could've kept you a while longer."
"i'm scared," i admitted.
"you're letting him force you into a life you don't want! what happened to the girl i used to know. the girl i was in love with? she wouldn't have let someone decide her life for her."
"she had to grow up! that girl had to make a decision not just for herself but for a boy who wanted nothing more from her than a family of his own. and if we forget him there's a family that wants my baby. everyone wants my baby but me. so i grew up. you're right i'd kill to have you right now. i'd kill for that life but i don't have it so stop bothering me about it because it only makes me hurt worse!"
he grabbed my hand and stood me up to look at me. his hands grabbed my waist and his lips started at the base of my neck and slowly made their way up until he whispered in my ear, "if you ever need me, call me. i'll be there."
i smiled and started back towards the house, leaving him to watch me walk away.
one month later:
"yeah mom it's a boy," i confirmed to her. she was the only person i'd told. tyler would find out tonight through an instagram post thanks to his away game.
i kept catching myself daydreaming of names. i knew ty wanted paul and i couldn't keep my mind off the name easton.
i pulled into the driveway of tyler's house. well our house (i still couldn't get used to calling it that) and went upstairs to finish the nursery.
after tyler's game that night i took a picture and called tyler.
"hey you," he grinned from the other end of the line.
"nice game tonight!"
"thank you babe. now tell me what i want to hear!"
"check instagram."
he was silent for a minute. his fingers tapped away until the tapping stopped and he began to sniffle, "are you serious?"
"Easton Paul Seguin."
"i can't wait for him to be here."
"i know, ty, i know."
but i sure could.
