you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 30

I approached my door and found 5 people.

"Tallulah I've missed you so much." Brent's little sister, Lexi, ran up to me and hugged me.

"Hey I've missed you too," I replied, "Wow you've grown so much." I said admiring Lexi's outfit.

"We've been standing out her for almost 10minutes. I should've called but I wanted to surprise you guys." Brent's mum explained and I smiled.

"Brent would be so happy to see you guys. He's really missed you Mrs Rivera." I blushed before entering my now old home.

"Just call me Mum. I mean you are part of the family now." She winked and I think she could see my bump.

I high fived Brent and asked him to help me retrieve any extra things in my house.

"Are you moving?" Lexi asked and I nodded.

"I'm moving in with Brent." I smiled but had to cover my ears.

"Oh my goodness congratulations Tallulah." Brent's mum kissed my cheek and jumped up and down with glee. I laughed and guided everyone to Brent's apartment.

"Brent honey." His mum called out and Brent literally ran in.

"Mum." He shouted and squashed his petite mother. I placed some boxes down and took off my coat.

Lexi walked over to me and stared at my stomach.

"Wow Tallulah, you've put on weight." Lexi giggled and I playfully punched her.

"I haven't put on weight you idiot."

"Oi my sisters not an idiot." Brice defended and I raised my hands in defeat.

"But Brice she called me fat." I pouted and he brought me nearer to him.

"Brent, you jealous." Brice shouted and his brother glared at him. Brice jokingly kissed my cheek and I smiled.

"Get your hands off of my future kid's mum." Brent warned and Lexi's eyes grew wide.

"You're pregnant. TALLULAH WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" Lexi shouted and I giggled.

"I knew that you'd overreact and that you'd force me to let you babysit the kid. Not that I won't let you." I explained and Lexi hugged me.

"I'm gonna be an auntie. I'm going to be a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD AUNTIE!"

"Congrats." Brice whispered in my ear.

"Thanks. Please don't tell anyone else though. Brent and I want to tell everyone when my bump is a tad bigger." I asked and everyone nodded.

Brent's dad walked over to Brent and "man-hugged him".

"I'm going to be a grandpa," His voice boomed and I swear he was about to cry, "I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDPA. Thanks son."

"For what?"

"For making your girlfriend pregnant." Brent's dad ruffled Brent's hair and everyone burst out laughing. I'm glad the baby is going to grow up in this environment. I wouldn't want it any other way.

"We're going to be staying for a couple of months. Brice is trying to find a good apprenticeship and we need to be here to make sure he doesn't make a rubbish choice." Brent's dad said hitting Brice's shoulder.

"And I'm here to make sure Brice does something he wants to do." Blake, Brent's eldest brother, interjected.

"I'll stay with you guys if you don't mind." Lexi offered and I nodded.

"Great, I'm gonna need help preparing the nursery." I clapped my hands and Lexi was halfway up the stairs by the time I turned around.

"Tallulah c'mon I wanna see it. I have so many great ideas." Lexi grinned and we disappeared upstairs.

*Brent's POV*

I sat on one of the sofas and the rest of my family joined. I knew I was going to get a lecture.

"Brent I am happy for you and Tallulah. I really am but-" My mother began.

"But what ma. Yes you guys don't believe in sex before marriage but I love Tallulah. I know she's the one." I burst out. My mum frowned and my dad rubbed her back.

"Brent apologise to your mother," My dad ordered and I stared at him, "NOW!"

"Sorry? Say sorry for what. Getting Tallulah pregnant. No thank you." I stood up but Brice pulled me back down.

"Brent you're overreacting." Brice said calmly. He always brought my temper down and I was happy he was my brother.

"How? You guys are the ones overreacting!"

"Brent, bro, listen to me." I turned to Brice and furrowed my eyebrows.

"What you're gonna have a go at me too? I thought we were brothers."

"Brent, we are but Tallulah's pregnant. With your child."

"What are you trying to say?...You're turning into Dad." I was confused and was sick and tired of my family judging me. My arms folded over my chest and I tapped my foot.

"Go on then say it." I was growing impatient and just wanted to check on Tallulah.

"Brent you need to propose."

I raked my fingers through my hair and stared into Brice's eyes.

"Are you serious?" I asked and he nodded.

"Brent she is pregnant with YOUR child. I'm sorry but if you don't little baby Rivera is going to be a bastard." My mother spat.

"Get out," I muttered, "I SAID GET OUT! If you don't respect my authority over MY child then you don't deserve to be in their life. You can't just come here and call my kid a bastard!"

"Brent, the child is going to be my grand kid whether you like it or not. I can see this child whenever I want to."

"Ma please stop fighting." Brice tried to shout but our mum glared at him and he sank back down into the sofa.

"I raised you as the sweetest little boy you could ever meet. Brent baby, you've changed. Ever since you met Tallulah, you have become out of control." Her hand rested on my cheek but I slapped it away.

"Oh so everything is Tallulah's fault now. It all makes sense now ma. You don't want to see me happy." I shouted and my mum began to cry.

"Brent that's not what I meant."

"No that's exactly what you meant. Does no one support me in this family?" I questioned and my mother cried into my dad's chest.

"Look at what you did Brent." My dad said and I kicked the sofa.

"Stop blaming me and Tallulah, Ma. I want to be with Tallulah until thats no longer possible. I love her and I will marry her but when the time's right. Please just stop trying to control me. Dad I have the ring I just don't know when to do it." I begged and my father shook his head. The floor creaked and I turned to see Tallulah holding hands with Lexi.

"Brent..." She croaked and I walked towards her.

"How much of that did you hear?" I whispered resting my forehead on hers.

"Brent I love you." She admitted.

"I love you too Tallulah."

"I kinda agree with your parents and Brice. I want to get married and I'm sure the baby would want parents that are legally and visibly together." She bit her lip and I rubbed my forehead.

"Tallulah-" I began.

"Brent, he or she could get bullied and I don't want that for our child."

I kissed her and she returned it.

"I've got the ring so erm-"

I bent down on one knee and inhaled sharply, "Will you marry me?"

"I'd love to." And she kissed me. I'm marrying her, I'm actually going to marry her.

Oooooh I hear wedding bells.
