||CHAPTER FIFTEEN||
'CONFESSIONS AND ANTONIO'

I walked up stairs to my bedroom with Nick hot on my trails, nerves pulsing through both our bodies. Once we reached my room, I walked over to the bedside table and took out a small box I had hidden the test in.

I grabbed the test before turning around to face Nick and hiding it behind my back. I walked closer to where he stood gorgeous as ever. He was breathing hard after running after me.

"Ellie, what's going on?" Nick mumbles, staring into my eyes.

I stayed quite as I handed him the pregnancy test with a shaky hand. Once I felt the small, plastic item leave my hand I looked up and Nick's face, only to see shock, fear and confusion.

"You're pregnant?" Nick whispers in shock.

I stare up at him, trying my hardest to see what Nick thinks about it but he's unreadable. He stays silent as he stares at the two lines that would change our lives forever.

"You have your whole life ahead of you and I know you're not ready to settle down but I want to raise this child. I'm ready to be a mom and I understand if you're not ready to be a dad -" I was cut of by Nick releasing a squeal from his sealed lips.

"We're having a baby!" Nick cheers then proceeds to pick me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

I squeal in surprise and begin to slap Nick's firm behind to let me down. He ignores my pleads and continues to run around my room in excitement. Once he had let me down and excitement left his face and sadness took over.

"You didn't think I would want this baby, our baby?" Nick asks me, voice cracking from his emotions.

"You love your playboy life away from StoneHeaven and I thought you loved it too much to say goodbye." I explain to him, looking down to the floor.

"I love you more." Nick whispers, drawing my attention from the floor to his eyes.

"You love me?" I gasps in disbelief.
