My Brown Eyed Procrastinator - Chapter 26

[Dan's P.O.V]

Its been three days since I found out about Molly's pregnancy. She's scared. Well, she's terrified. As am I.. but she can't know that. She needs someone who'll be strong for her, someone to rely on. So that's what I will be for her. I sit on the sofa in my apartment, editing my new YouTube video. Well, trying to anyway. I can't focus, no matter how hard I try, my thoughts keep straying to Molly, and our baby. Molly should be at university at the moment. I begin to wonder about what she may be doing. For God's sake, Dan, focus.

[Molly's P.O.V]

I walk away from uni, toward the bus stop. I stand waiting for the number 22 to get home, when the bus going to the shopping centre pulls up in front of me. A woman gets off, struggling to lift her push chair onto the ground. I step forward and help her; she gives me a genuine smile before thanking me. The dark circles beneath her eyes show her fatigue. The baby, however, that grins adorably up at me from the chair is wide awake.

I suddenly decide to get on the bus; seeing the woman with her baby in the push chair has reminded me of my pregnancy. Dan won't mind if I spend an hour looking around for baby things in the shopping centre. I tell the driver where I want to go, pay him, and then sit down. Fortunately there were two empty seats together, one of which I took quickly. I didn't fancy sitting next to the dodgy looking youth near the back of the bus playing his music loudly.

This reminds me of one of Dan's videos. I smile to myself.

When I get to the shopping centre, I immediately start browsing through several baby sections. Before now, I hadn't realised just how much I would need to get for my baby. I can't help but feel panicked and rushed. I should be doing this with Dan. I have no idea where to begin. Then, to be honest I don't think he does either. Eventually I grab a couple of sets of unisex baby clothes and pyjamas, and make my way to pay for them. I'll have to come back with Dan to get the rest, I can't do this on my own.

I stand at the front of the line, when the young woman stood at till number 4 shouts for the next customer. As I make my way over, I look the woman up and down. The woman's face is familiar; it brings back negative feelings, although I can't remember where I've seen her before. Anxious and confused, I walk toward the till. Once I am stood in front of the young, beautiful woman, I remember exactly who she is. I glance down, her name tag confirms it. Megan.

I pretend not to notice and begin rummaging through my bag for my purse. Slowly, she picks up my items and scans them.

"Haven't seen you in a while" she says. I look up, purposely glance at her name tag again, and fake a short reaction.

"Megan" is all I say.

"How's Dan? You two still shagging?" She says. A flicker of disgust runs across my face. Noticing it, her lips curl into a cruel smile. I say nothing.

"By the looks of it, you've been doing a little too much of that" she says, nodding toward the baby grow that she folds gently and places into a plastic bag. Her smile suddenly seems evil.

Realising what she's saying, my mouth falls open slightly. Shit.

"Oops!" she says, winking.

Is she going to tell people? It wouldn't take much, one word about this to a few different people and everyone would know, I imagine news travels fast between Dan's fans too. Shit!

I pay her and grab my things. I remain silent, and walk away. "It was nice seeing you again, Molly" she calls to me smugly as I quicken my pace.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and ring Dan as soon as I'm out of the shop. It rings three times, before he picks up.

"Hey, I was just beginning to wonder where you are, you okay?" He says happily.

"Yeah, um, I think we should make that video"

"Oh okay, sure, we could do it tomorrow, you're not at uni and I have nothing to do-"

"No, Dan, let's do it tonight" I interrupt.

"Um, okay that's fine, are you alright Moll? Has something happened, love?"

"Yeah.." I breathe shakily, nervously laughing out my next words, "Megan happened."
