Ryan

I covered my mouth with my hand and held back a scream.

Positive? I'm a mom? What the fuck?

I wiped the tears forming in my eyes. I slipped a my phone out and took a picture of the test. This was an easy way I could tell people. A way I don't have to talk. I put my phone away and threw the test into the garbage.

"Mum!" I called, my voice still slightly shaky. A few moments later, she entered the room. All I did was nod and she pulled me.

"I love you, my princess, and you'll be great." She assured... I however wasn't so assured. I shrugged and we left the room.

"Wait!" She said. I stopped.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Don't eat anymore pickles or turkey. That made you throw up. 'Your body' (she said that instead of the baby, because we were now with the boys) doesn't like it." I smiled a nervous smile.

"Okay. But what if .... what if he leaves?"I quietly whispered to her. So only she could hear.

"Then your brothers are gonna beat his ass." She laughed just as quiet. I took a deep breath. I hugged her. Then I went over to my father and hugged him.

"Calum, we got to go." I said. I saw the confusion yet relief in his eyes.

"I love you guys." I said to my parents.

"Bye love." My mum said.

"Bye?" My dad slightly questioned.

We went out the door and I closed it behind myself before rushing into the car. Calum followed at a slow pace. He got into the drivers seat. He buckled in and then finally questioned the situation.

"What was that?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." I sighed while rubbing my face. He put his hand on my thigh and rubbed gently.

"I'm gonna ask again later." He smiled lightly, "but I'll leave you be for now. He kissed my cheek before driving back home. We literally hit every red light, making the long car ride seem longer. Luckily, greenday was on the radio, so everything seemed to be all right. However, during this trip, we sat in uncomfortable silence instead of the usual comfortable one.

When we reached our place, I couldn't wait to eat leftover pizza and watch Elf with my babe. So I rushed in. Even if I'm not acting normal around him, I have good reason. I love him and he can comfort me during the worst of times. But I don't know how he'll react. But until then, I don't wanna deal with any stress... well as little as I can manage.

I ran to the fridge and pulled out a pizza box. Calum chuckled as he followed me in. The box contained four slices of pepperoni pizza. I took to and left two for Calum. He grabbed his slices. We made our way to the couch. We both sat down and starting eating. We both liked eating cold pizza the day after we get it hot. It's a reason we got along so well.

"I'm putting in Elf." I said, getting up.

"Okay." He said with a mouthful of one of his slices. I shook my head and put the movie in. I came back to the couch and cuddled into his side, and inhaled the sent of him. He smells different depending on the day. Right now, he smells of "Western day" Cologne. It's what he usually wears. I hate the name for some reason, but it smells good.

"It makes me smell good. I feel rugged like brad Pitt." He once told me. I chuckled at the memory. But other days he smells like salami and I don't like that smell very much.

Soon enough the movie was over and we were both still smiling over Will Ferrell's comedy. Calum kissed my forehead and squeezed me tightly for a moment, before slightly loosening up his grip.

But like all good things, the pleasure and loving environment we shared in this moment and time had to come to an end.

"So, what was the problem earlier?" He asked, "Why'd you make us leave your parents house so early?"

I groaned.

"Calum, I'm sorry but I don't wanna tell you any of that right now." I admitted.

It's usually hard for someone to get something from me that I didn't want to tell them, because I'm a stubborn person. Unluckily for me, Calum was too. He could get what he wanted from me with the level of difficulty he has taking his skinny jeans off.

Not necessarily a hard thing for him to do, but not necessarily easy either.

Of course with that said, Calum knew how to stop himself if it's serious. Like if what he wanted was sex for example, he'd have to get all the consent I could physically give before  he would do anything like that.

In other words, he was respectful but super convincing.

"Bullshit, As your boyfriend," he said, emphasizing on boyfriend, "I think I deserve to hear whatever made you cry earlier."

His body language and facial expressions cold and sharp.

However, his dark chocolate eyes that resembled a puppy's , were warm and soft. They were the reasons he could get me to tell him what he wanted me to. His warm, loving eyes, could provide so much comfort. I melted whenever I caught his gaze.

"Cal, baby, I'm scared." I cried.

I could tell his body softened and he wasn't so tense. My sadness was his curse, like how his was one of mine.

"Tell me, darling." He said softly. I wept silently and then he wiped my tears away with a reassuring smile.

"I love you." He said before he kissed my forehead, right above my glabella. I released the last of my tears -for now- and took a deep breath.

"Calum.." I whispered

"Calum what?" He asked.

"Calum I'm pregnant."
