Recap - "This is it, Asa." I took a deep breath and picked up the stick, closing my eyes. "I can't do it, you look."

"Gemma! Fine." He took the stick, far from were I'd peed, and gasped. Oh shit oh shit oh shit.

"Gemma, we're going to be parents."

•••

"What? But it could be a faulty one! We have to try again!" I babbled, tears streaming down my face. I was so scared.

"Okay, okay, calm down babe, calm down." Asa said, rushing over to my side and rubbing my back. "Everything will be fine."

"Don't say that, Ace! Everything won't be fine! I'm not even sure we can take care of ourselves never mind a fucking BABY. You bastard." I wept.

"How am I a bastard? I'm just trying to help you, Gem. I understand bu--"

"You don't understand! Nobody understands!"

"Let's calm down. Come on, we'll hold off until you need the toilet again and then you can take another test."

"O-okay." I snuffled, ripping a piece of toilet roll off and blowing my nose. "And how is this going to work? We haven't even got our own house yet."

"Well, you can move in with me or I can move in with you until we get our own house. It'll be okay, Gemma, we'll work things out you and me."

I was going to contradict him, but thought about it. Maybe he was right. Maybe everything would be okay.

"I'm sorry Asa, I'm just so scared," I shivered, looking down at my shaking hands. I couldn't believe that just a week ago we were talking about baby names and acting all excited. What if I was pregnant? How would I act when I grew bigger? The fans, the hate, our families. Jesus Christ, Justin and my dad are going to kill Asa.

"Don't be scared, I'll always be here for you. I'm never leaving you Gemma. I promise."

"I love you so much." I said, another tear appearing at the corner of my eye. I couldn't be bothered wiping it away, so I just let it fall as I cuddled into him.

"I love you too. More than you'll ever know." He whispered into my hair, tangling his fingers through it.

"You know, I never thought I'd be this lucky. My first boyfriend made me feel like shit, when he left me, his last words were 'nobody will ever love you. You're pathetic' and I believed him. I really did. But, when I found you, all the bad things in my mind faded away."

"You're not the pathetic one, he is, and if he ever comes near you again I'll personally kill him. You're mine, Gemma, and nobody else's."

"Same goes for you. No hoes, just us." I giggled, taking his hand and drawing a pattern with my finger.

"Just us. Forever."

"And maybe baby." I said, rubbing my stomach. I needn't talk about Asa feeling stupid if there's nothing in there.
