Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Twenty

"I think you should do it bro, you guys are literally made for each other"

I wake up disoriented, my head still on Conor's lap where I'd drifted off to sleep a few hours ago now. A yawn escape my mouth as I turn to my side, snuggling my face into Conor's stomach. I hadn't planned to fall asleep, but Conor had simply forced me to it as I didn't get enough sleep last night due to Leonelle being ill and keeping us both up most of the night.

"Oh, you're awake"

Conor looked down at me, worry filling his face as he bit his nails. I rub my eyes, the sleep still haunting my tired mind.

"Mm, just about though, how long have I slept for?"

His fingers find my messy hair and I relax from his touch.

"Just over three hours now"

I stretch out my stiff back and sit back up beside him on the outdoor sofa, the sun blinding me as I look out over the pool area in front of us.

"Oh snap, sorry. You've literally been stuck here for that long, you know you could've woken me up if you wanted to"

He kiss my temple softly and pull me close to him, the warmth of his bare skin rubbing off on mine.

"Yeah but it was nice to just sit and think for some time, you know contemplating life in general"

I smile, knowing that he appreciated his alone time where he could just think, not having to talk to anyone. It sometimes baffled me that he chose to do what he does, being in the headlights had never really been his thing, he didn't always enjoy all the attention he got and could actually be a bit shy at times even though he tried not to show it in front of his fans. Just as he doesn't like talking about his depression in public, it was something he'd kept for himself for many years until he'd finally told me about it. It didn't come easy though and I'd had to practically bribe him to tell me what was wrong.

"Morning, or should we say afternoon"

Alex and Mikey come over, some random drinks in their hands as they sit down on the remaining sunbeds just next to the sofa that me and Conor are sharing.

"Haha, very funny boys, just wait until you get a kid yourselves"

The two boys exchange a look before lying down, knowing that it wasn't worth arguing with me and Conor about being tired, it was something we constantly suffered with.

"Don't irritate a pregnant woman guys, she could literally explode any second"

Conor laugh at his own joke before he realise what he's just done, Jack, Alex, Mikey and Oli turning their heads towards us, everyone shocked apart from Jack who are just grinning widely, trying to keep the sip of his drink in his mouth.

"Did we just hear that"

Oli place his phone down beside him, his mouth slightly open in shock.

"This have to be true guys or I don't know what to do"

Mikey shake his head slowly, running his hand through his hair.

"My best friend's having a second kid, this is fucking amazing!"

Alex's scream draws the attention of Merissa, Josh and Caspar who are all in the pool talking quietly to each other.

"Excuse me guys, let me explain"

I take a deep breath, everyone looking at me as I shift over in my seat.

"This wasn't the way I'd planned to tell you but yes, me and this handsome guy here are like you heard pregnant with a little one since a few weeks now"
