Behind The Glasses (Lauren/You)

Chapter Five

"I'm pregnant."

The entire room was dead silent. I couldn't help but feel my frozen expression soon contort into a grin. It was a win-win situation. From this, I'll get to spend more time with Blue by us sharing bed rooms and now Blue is able to have a sibling to play with. Wait hold up, she said two cribs though.

"With twins?" Everyone broke out from their shock from the announcement to look at me, breaking the silence in the room. Mum smiled and it didn't take me long to rush towards her and squeezed her out of happiness. I've known for a quite some time that mum and dad had always wanted a boy since Blue's birth. I didn't mind the idea of having another Carter in the family since dad was the only male in the house. I assumed that they were planning to adopt but I had no clue that they were actually trying for a child. In this case, twins. 

I felt something grab onto my leg so I looked down and see my joyful sister hugging my mum and I. Dad soon joined in on the family hug with smiles on all of our faces with glossy eyes. Today has been an amazing day considering the fact that I was given the opportunity to be part of a new business that Mr. Jauregui had planned a long time with his friends, finally being able to tell my close friends and family the music I've been working my arse off for months and now finding out that I'll be having two little brothers or sisters to join the family in the next eight to nine months. 

Hearing a pair of awes, I turned my head to Zendaya and Nick holding up their phones to what I believe them taking photos of us hugging. The group hug was dispersed and Blue went straight back to eating as I went to Zendaya to check out the photos she took.

"Daya send me those photos yeah?" She nods her head and Nick gives me a pout knowingly that I had only asked Zendaya for the photos. I walk to stand beside Nick and pulled him into a side hug as I wrapped my left arm around his broad shoulders. 

"Oh come on Kev, you know we're best friends but you can't take a photo if your life depended on it," With my index finger I clicked onto his gallery to only discover the lack of clarity of the photos, "but I appreciate the gesture." 

Zendaya peaked over my shoulder, letting the curiosity of seeing the photos made her stifle a laugh as every photo that he had taken was as if he was literally in the middle of an earthquake. Zendaya walked back to my parents to congratulate them, giving me the chance to talk to Nick privately.

"The reason why the photos you take aren't clear is because the way you stand and hold your phone. I would give you some pointers and all since I'm the best," flicking my hair in a jokingly manner," but I'm sure that there's someone else that you would rather get tips from. Maybe a certain person that's over there?" Nick's eyes followed the direction of where I pointed towards my parents and Zendaya. 

I could tell that Nick was nervous, feeling him deeply breathing in and runs his hand through his tamed hair. I have honestly had no recollection of the beginning of Nick's crush on Zendaya nor do I actually remember when he started to feel anxious whenever she was around but I know for sure that the man has been like this for too long. If Nick wasn't going to try to express his feelings towards Zendaya, then it was up to me to be his wingwoman. Regardless of Zendaya not verbally telling me any of her romantic feelings for anyone, I have a massive hunch that Zendaya likes him but doesn't know it yet.

Before Nick could give me a response I gave him a slight shove which looked very over dramatised to Zendaya as my parents gave me the 'What are you planning?' look. I signalled them to follow me as Nick scratched the back of his head and started a conversation with Zendaya. Zendaya nodded her head and began teaching away. I wanted to give the two some privacy so I did a hearing call that Blue and I respond to. I only use this 'special' calling with two people and Blue is one of them.
