Give Into Me

Chapter Ten

"Can you please just make sure to not tell them I'm pregnant?" Harley asked the nurse who had come in to tell her that more people had arrived. 

"Yes, I'll be sure to keep it a secret." The nurse nodded before leaving the room. Ashton rubbed his face as he sat next to her.

"I really hope it's mine.." Ashton whispered. 

"I do too." Harley sighed and held Ashton's hand. He had stayed at the hospital the night before with her, and he didn't plan on leaving her until she came home. Luke had gone back to the ranch to tell everyone what happened, and now they were all waiting to see her. "Chase would probably want me to get rid of it."

"Please don't.." Ashton sighed. He was about to say more when the nurse came back in with Tyler, Hannah, and Michael.

"You should've come in when I told you to." Tyler sighed as he hugged her. 

"I couldn't leave him out there, you know that." Harley sighed and hugged him back. 

"Luke came to the ranch last night and told us you died." Michael hugged her tight.

"Hey, be gentle with her." Ashton glared at Michael.

"Ash, it's fine." Harley sent him a warning glance. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I'm not dead yet, but it kinda feels like I am." 

"Why haven't they given you the antibiotics yet?" Hannah asked, taking a seat.

"They're waiting to see how the ba-." She cut herself off. "How my body reacts to it."

"Why would they need to see that? It's not like you're allergic to anything." Tyler furrowed his eyebrows.

"It's just because she fainted. They're worried her body might be harmed by the antibiotics because of that." Ashton lied. Harley squeezed his hand gently. 

"Hopefully they get you sorted out soon. We miss you." Michael sighed. "It's been weird not having you around." 

"Yeah, hopefully they will." Harley smiled softly.

And they did. After a week, they were able to prescribe her the antibiotics. They had to run a few tests to figure out which doses would be safer for the baby, and they finally had it. Harley was instructed to take the antibiotics for 5 days. Ashton had brought her home and made her sit on the couch right away. "You stay here, I'm gonna get you some toast."

"Ashton, I'm fine." Harley sighed. She hated the attention she was getting from being sick, as well as all the attention from Ashton and Luke due to the pregnancy. "Besides, I can make my own toast." Harley stood up and started toward the kitchen.

"Hey! No, you stay on the couch." Michael ordered, blocking her from getting into the kitchen.

"You guys are so fucking annoying. I am fine, I can handle making myself some food." 

"Harley Quinn Davidson, go sit your ass down." Michael looked down at her sternly, making sure she got the hint. She groaned and walked back to the couch, laying down. 

"You guys are dicks." Harley huffed and cuddled the pillow.

"We're just looking out for you and the ba-." Ashton stopped. "You and the bad illness you are suffering from." He made a face to himself. It wasn't the best save, but it was all he could think of. 

"Please just rest." Hannah sighed. "We're worried about your health. It shouldn't have taken so long for you to get the antibiotics." 

"Well, it did, and I'm fine." Harley sighed and coughed into her shirt. Ashton brought her a bottle of cold water and handed it to her. "Thanks." She sipped it slowly. Ashton sat on the couch next to her and watched as she set the bottle on the floor next to the couch. Harley turned to Ashton. "Lay down, please." 

"Why?" Ashton furrowed his eyebrows.

"Just lay down." Harley whined, pouting at him. He rolled his eyes and laid on the couch with his back against the arm rest. Harley laid on top of him, resting her head on his chest. Ashton sighed and wrapped his arms around her. 

"Would you be more comfortable if we went to bed?" Ashton asked, rubbing her stomach gently. She pushed his hand away and sat up. "I want to sleep with you tonight." 

"Harley, you sleep with me every night." Ashton furrowed his eyebrows. 

"I know, but I don't want you sneaking back to your room. I want to spend the whole night with you."

"Alright, I won't leave. Let's get you to bed." Ashton stood up and lifted her up so her legs wrapped around his waist. She laid her head on his shoulder and held onto him as he carried her to his room.

"No, my room.." Harley whined.

"Your room is still contaminated." Ashton shook his head and continued into his room. Harley sighed and nodded, slumping down on his bed. "What do you want to wear to bed?"

"Can I have one of your shirts?" Harley laid down and curled up. 

"Sure, which one?" 

"Doesn't matter, just not one with holes in the nipples." 

"That doesn't leave many." Ashton laughed softly and grabbed a t-shirt from his dresser. He helped Harley out of her clothes before pulling his shirt over her head. She laid down once more and sighed. "How are you feeling?" Ashton asked, pulling his own shirt off. 

"M'fine." Harley yawned and watched as Ashton pushed his jeans down. "Just need you to hold me."

"You're so needy when you're sick." Ashton chuckled and laid down with her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him, letting the heat radiate off his body and onto hers. 

"I'm also pregnant, don't forget that." Harley murmured, laying her head on his shoulder. 

"Speaking of that.." Ashton sighed. 

"Not now, Ash. I don't want to deal with it yet." Harley sighed, looking up at him.

"If it turns out to not be mine, I still want to raise it with you as if it is." Ashton whispered. Tears pricked Harley's eyes as she continued to stare at him. "I love you and I want to be with you. I want to support you through everything, and that includes having a baby." 

"I love you, Ashton." Harley whispered. It took Ashton by surprise when she uttered those three words. He didn't think they'd ever come out of her mouth. His heart beat faster as he looked down at her. 

"You do?"

"Yes, Ashton, I love you." She smiled softly, feeling her stomach erupt in butterflies.

"I would kiss you, but I don't want to get sick." Ashton grinned down at her. Harley rolled her eyes and sat up more to look at him better. 

"Do you know what this means?" She asked, rubbing his bare chest.

"Tell me." Ashton rubbed his hands along her arm.

"We have to be an official couple now." 

"I've been waiting since May for that." Ashton grinned, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
