Only you (A ThatcherJoe/ Youtuber fanfic)

Chapter 31

Caspar's POV:

Charlotte was now 8 months pregnant and no other complications had occurred. She had started her maternity leave yesterday and since she lost Oliver, she hadn't quite been the same. We all cared for her and it hurt to see her in so much pain.

We'd all barely left her side since it had happened, in fear of not being around when she needed us. She has more regular check ups now just to be sure but it's not fair on her. She didn't want to be in this position and she seems a little depressed lately because of it. We all know her past and we just hope that this pregnancy doesn't lead to anything else.

"Hey Cas, what are you up to?"
"Just replying to some emails, what about you?"
"Nothing I'm so bored." She complained "can we do something? Anything please?"
"Like what?"
"A movie? See friends? Anything but what I'm doing now."
"How about seeing Jim and Tanya?" I asked as I knew they cheered her up  and she could talk to them as if they were siblings.
"Please!" She exclaimed excitedly.
"Ok then I'll call them go grab a jacket."

*Ring* *ring* *ring* *ring*
C: Hey Jim, are you guys in? Charlotte wants to see you guys if that's ok.
J: Yeah, we were thinking of dropping by to see her actually, how is she?
C: Ok I think, she's just bored and a change of scenery and character might do the world of good.
J: Of course, see you in a bit.

*At Janya's house*

Charlotte's POV:

"Jim! Tan!" I exclaimed happily as I entered their home.
"Hi guys, how are you? How's little Olivia?!" Tan asked as they both came to hug Caspar and I.
"Good I think, she's really active lately, I can't wait to get her out!"
"That's understandable." Jim laughed as we embraced and Olivia booted him in the ribs during the embrace.
"Do you think she already hates me or loves me?" Jim laughed as he stepped back, shocked by the baby's sudden movement.
"Love I'm sure, cause her mommy loves you too." I giggled and Tan returned to the conversation, I grabbed her hand and placed it against Olivia's heel as she kicked and we began talking.

"So, we have some news." Tan announced unexpectedly. Jim moved closer to Tanya and took her hands in his. He reached over the sofa and grabbed a box. He placed it on his lap and removed what lay within.

He handed us what looked to be a scrapbook titled 'The Journey of us' we opened it up to see the start of the family I later called my own. Blood or not, we'd gone through so much together.

It contained memorable moments we shared together, the true essence of who we were and who we had become. Events and landmarks in our lives in which we had cherished together.

As we came to the end of the book, we came to notice the last few pages remained blank except for the incredible handwritten messages that lay upon the paper.

'Our first addition to the Chapman family.' and 'Tanya's first scan'.

A space was left below those two sentences and I looked questioningly towards the pair that sat before me. They took out another piece of paper and handed it to me. As I took it, I soon realised it was the picture destined for the empty space.

I jumped up from my seat and proceeded to congratulate them and ask if it was true in disbelief. "I'm pregnant!" Tan squealed and Jim's smile only grew wider.

We spent the next few hours talking and catching up until Caspar had to leave and Jim had some work to do so I was left with Tan. Not that I was complaining.

"So how are you feeling, being so close to meeting this little one?" Tan asked me and she placed her hand on Olivia's foot that was visibly pressing against my skin.
"Good. Nervous, but excited."
"I'm so proud of you, you're so strong and you've gone through so much, just remember we're here whenever you need us and don't let this change anything, I don't want to loose what we have, not even in the slightest" she said tearing up as she gestured to our stomachs.
"Never." I stated proudly as I took her into my arms.

We continued talking for a short while until I felt a sharp pain, I gasped and Tan looked at me worried.
"I'm fine, she must have just kicked me or something." I tried to say but it happened once again.
"I don't think you're fine honey, I think we need to get it checked out." Tan said and I began to panic. She grabbed my hand and we headed towards the stairs.
"Jim!" Tan shouted as water began to gush out of me.
"Tanya..." we looked down and began to speed up.
"Girls are you o-" Jim stopped when he noticed the puddle of water behind me where I had stood seconds before.

He took me into his arms and headed for the car, Tan ahead of me beginning to make calls to get Caspar to pick up the phone.

He put me into the car and another strong contraction came so I reached for Jim's hand, he screamed with me as I felt bones clicking and crushing as I grasped his hand.

"Tan you might need to drive honey..." He said as he took his hand and noticed dislocated bones and the failed ability to move most of his hand.

"Wow you're strong." He said shocked.
"Well I'm in great pain and if we don't get there soon, you're other hand will be the same!" I shouted as he laughed nervously.
"There's nothing to worry about." He said reassuringly, but I was unsure of whether it was for him or me.
"7 months Jim, 7 months" I reminded him and he turned white.
"Let's just hope Tan doesn't break my hand too." He laughed nervously once again.
"Yep."
