Army Tanks - Lashton - Ended

37

I walked out of the elevator, and looked around, seeing that Laura wasn't at the table, making me a little confused.

I shook my head slightly, looking down at my three month bump, smiling lightly.

It wasn't that visible, but it was still there, and if I wore a tight shirt people would really be able to see it.

Ot just think I gained a few pounds too much.

I walked over to my office, and walked over to my chair sitting down, and letting out a deep breath.

I ran a hand over my face.

It's Ashton's birthday tomorrow, and I still don't know what to give him.

A knock was heard on my door, and as I looked up, Laura walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand.

''Decaf, with two pieces of sugar.'' She said, smiling at me shortly.

Something about her was different.

''Thank you... Uhm... Di you change anything about yourself or...? I'm sorry, I'm just really not that sharp at this time in the morning.'' I said, looking at her.

''Well. Mrs. Welsh said, I'm glowing. But well. My girlfriend got pregnant. We have tried so many times, and were about to give up, but well we gave it one last shoot, and she got pregnant.'' Laura said, a bright smile on her face.

''Uhm.. Was it through artificial insemination...?'' I asked, feeling a little sad for Laura if her girlfriend slept with someone else.

''Yup. We were thinking about adopting, but then she got pregnant.'' Laura said, the smile permanent on her lips.

''I'm happy for you guys.'' I said, smiling.

Laura thanked me, before rushing out again, talking about needing to reschedule some of my meetings.

A happy sigh left me, as I laid a hand on my small tummy, and continued my day.

I carefully took off my shoes and jacket, after finally getting home.

I walked to the living room, seeing Ashton and Elliot sleeping on the couch, making me smile lightly.

I walked over and laid a blanket over them, kissing each of their foreheads, before walking upstairs, and into the bedroom.

I changed to my night wear, before laying down in the bed and falling asleep.

When I woke up again it was begining to get dark outside.

I could hear Elliot and Ashton laughing downstairs, and I smiled lightly.

I got up from the bed, walking downstairs, seeing the two in the kitchen making dinner.

''Hey...'' I whispered tiredly, as I walked over and kissed the top of Elliot's head.

I felt Ashton's arms around me, and I leaned into his touch, as he rubbed my belly.

''I love you...'' I whispered, as he kissed my temple.

''I love you more...'' He whispered back, as he pulled me over to the stove, so he could rub my belly while he made the food.

I smiled at him, loving how caring he was, and how protective he was over me.

I wish he would have been there for Elliot and I two years ago instead though...

The thought made tears form in my eyes, and before I knew it, I was full on sobbing into Ashton's chest.

''Babe... What's wrong..? Why are you crying...?'' He asked concerned, as he turned off the stove.

''I just... I'm sorry. It's just the hormones and everything and... I'm sorry... I'm just overwhelmed with the whole baby thing...'' I said, drying my eyes.

Ashton rubbed my back and kissed me shortly, before he continued making dinner.

''What was really wrong earlier...?'' Ashton asked, as we were laying in bed, about to go to sleep.

''Just... I.. I thought about how it could have been to have you there during the pregnancy with Elliot... And how much you missed out on. And I know that it's partly my fault, and I know that, I just... I was scared Ashton... One minute you told me that you loved me, and the next you went and made out with some girl. Then I finally got you back, and told you that I loved you, yet you disappeared the same night... I felt so scared Ashton... And I still am... I'm scared that one day, I'll wake up, and you're nowhere to be found, because you left... I'm scared that you'll just leave me, for someone better and more beautiful than me...'' I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

I felt Ashton pull me closer to him, as he rubbed my belly.

''I promise you Luke... I won't leave this time. This time I'll stay. I promise.'' Ashton whispered, before he kissed me softly.

''And if you don't believe me, I'll happily marry you if that's what it takes to make you believe me.'' He said, and I look up at him with wide eyes.

''Did you just propose...?'' I asked, biting my lip.

''Halfway. I still need to buy you a ring, and ask in some cheesy way.''He whispered, before kissing my cheek, and cuddling me further.

I smiled softly, before I slowly drifted to sleep.

I know it's a little short, but hopefully it's cute?
