~*Brad's POV*~

Becky has been in here a few days now and word is out that she might be discharged today. Clare has rushed home to pack Becky's clothes as she's coming to stay with me and my family in Birmingham while Jude is still on the streets.

I'm sat with Becky in her room while she sleeps. Joe comes in with two coffees.

" I bought you something to read." He smiles, passing me a Maximum Pop magazine and the coffee. Joe sits on the other side of Becky.

" Thank you." I start flicking through, reading anything that catches me eye.

I turn the page and gasp at a picture of me rushing through the hospital with Becky in my arms. And of course, we haven't even told the fans. And now we've been together 8 months, maybe we should announce something soon.

Reading the article, they pick up the fact that we're heading to the Maternity Ward and start jumping to conclusions about me getting a 'random mystery girl' pregnant.

" Joe, have you seen this?" I pass him the magazine and he starts reading, shaking his hean and aighing every now and again.

" I'll contact Maximum Pop and tell them to stop producing this story and get them to remove them from every shop but we can't get back the ones that have already been sold," I nod. " And we'll do a twit cam with Becky and Sammy when Becky feels up to it."

" Thanks man." I take Becky's cold, pale hand in mine again and silently pray for this all to be a dream, and when I wake, Becky and I will be back in her room and she will still be carrying our baby; Charlie Simpson. But I know full well this is all real and remembering that breaks me a little more.

I start singing quietly to myself and Becky squeezes me hand. I smile and chuckle but carry on singing.

" Some people are trying to sleep here, Simpson. Have some respect, man." Becky jokes.

I chuckle again. At least she still has her sense of humour... " Sorry, baby," I kiss her forehead. " Did you sleep well?"

Becky opens her eyes slowly and blinks at the light. " Best sleep I've had in a while. This bed is so fucking uncomfortable." She smiles, closing her eyes again.

Joe and I laugh.

" Sorry, Joe. I didn't notice you there."

" It's fine," He chuckles. " I need to head off home to my two monters in a bit anyway."

" You don't have to stay, you know. You get home." Becky tells him.

" I'm staying till I know you're safe to go. Brad and the boys would do the same for me if Laura was in your position." Joe explains.

Becky smiles and thanks him.

" Doctor says he might be able to discharge you today." I tell Becky, trying to lighten the mood.

" Thank God. I can't wait to get home to my own bed."

" Home to my own bed, actually... You're coming home with me."

She opens one eye and give me a questioning look. " What you chattin'?"

Joe and I laugh at Becky trying to act Ghetto, and she smiles at me.

" Your mum has agreed to let you stay at mine with my family in Birmingham while Jude is still on the loose. It's safer for you. Your mum is packing your stuff now." I explain.

" Oh, ok then." She smiles. I go to kiss her but she turns her head away.

" What's wrong?" I ask.

" Joe..." She whispers.

" Don't mind me. I've seen it all before..." Joe smirks, without removing his eyes from the magazine.

We chuckle and I go to kiss her again but like before, she turns her head away.

" What now!?"

" Bad breath..." She told me, sounding embarrassed.

Joe chuckles and I roll my eyes at her. " For the love of God," I breathe. I pull a packet of Extra gum from my pocket and give a piece to Becky. " I haven't been able to kiss you in over a week. Shut up, chew on that and just fucking kiss me already."

Becky unexpectedly grabbed the collar of my favourite white t-shirt and pulls me down to her lips before kissing me hard and passionatly. It feels amazing to be able to kiss her properly after all this time.

I'm not sure how long we kiss for, but Joe coughs and we pull apart just before Dr Turner walks in through the door.

" Well Rebecca," Dr Turner starts, reading through the notes that hang on the end of the bed. " It looks like you can finally get home." He looks up from his clip-board and smiles.

Becky can't wipe the grin off her face as she turns to me and grins like an idiot. I lean down and kiss her once.

" I'll leave you to get changed and then we can sign the paperwork at reception when you're packed and ready." And with that, he leaves.

" I'll be outside." Joe tells us before standing. I thank him for staying with me and he nods before leaving the room.

I stand and close the blinds, noticing Mum and Nat outside the room talking to Clare. I help Becky change and I pack her bag Clare brought here for her on the first night we were here.

With everything packed and Becky dressed, we leave to room. I have my arm around Becky's waist for support as she's a little unsteady on her feet after spending over a week in bed.

We meet everyone in the corridor and they all give us sympathetic looks. But we don't need or want their sympathy.

Becky hugs her mum and kisses her cheek as Clare's eyes fill with tears.

" I won't be gone for long mum. I promise." I stand back with mum and Nat as Becky and her mum talk.

Her mum nods and wipes her eyes. " I'll call every day." Becky tells Clare.

" Make sure you do." Clare smiles before pulling Becky into her arms.

Becky pulls away and picks up her bag. " I've signed all the paperwork, so you can leave whenever." Clare explains and Becky nods.

Becky hugs her mum again before moving to my side. I take Becky's bag from her and realise how heavy it actually is.

" See you later, mummy." Becky smiles.

Clare smiles back. " See you soon, sweetie."

Becky takes my other hand as mum talks quietly with Clare. Nat pulls us away as they talk and we head out to the car.

I put Becky's suit case in the boot and sit in the back with Becky; Nat sat in the passenger seat.

Becky yawns and lays her head on my shoulder. " You can lay down if you want, baby."

She shook her head and closed her eyes. I place my hand on her thigh and start rubbing gently. Mum arrives at the car and we start the 2 hour drive home.

Sorry it's short. Had trouble writing this one. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but it won't be too long.

Lots of love
