Pregnant By Luke Hemmings

chapter 12

Emily

"EMILY! EMILY, WAKE UP!" Dawn barges into my room causing Cass and I to wake up in a panic. Last night after we came back I didn't bother to put Cass in his bed. I just let him sleep in with me. The more I cuddled him, the worse I felt. Luke knows now and I most likely ruined his relationship with his girlfriend. I used last night to let myself feel the pain and I cried myself to sleep.

"What? What is it?" I ask rubbing Cass's back so he doesn't start crying.

"Check your twitter." She says handing me my phone from my night stand.

"Why? What's going on?" I say taking my phone as she sits down on my bed.

"Just look." She simply says and I cock an eyebrow at her. I turn my phone on to see I got a bunch of twitter notifications. But for what? I look at Dawn but she just gestures for me to keep looking. I open twitter and a video instantly pops up. The thumbnail is Luke just sitting, and looking at the camera. The background looks like he's in the dressing room at the arena, and the caption says "To my family." What has he done? I click play to see the damage.

"Hey everyone, it's Luke. So as you all know, we've been on tour for a while, you know, nothing special. But actually, it just so happens that this is a very special tour. I've come to find out, that I'm a dad. I won't reviel the name of my child or their mother because I don't want the fandom to send them any hate. But if you at watching, just give me a chance. Please? If you really wanna do what's best, you'll let me be a part of my child's life. You'll give me a chance to love them. Can we at least just talk about it? You have my twitter now. I'm open to trying for our baby." The video ends and I let the phone plop in my lap before letting out a deep sigh.

"You okay?" Dawn asks and I take in a deep breath.

"There's no getting out if this. I'm gonna have to talk to him about this." I simply say picking my phone back up, and coming into my DMs. I send Luke our flat address and give him a time to be here today.

"Him having a life of his own isn't the only reason you want him to stay away from Cass is it?" Dawn asks me a st I put down my phone. She's always been able to see through me, so I just shake my head no. "Then what is it? You can talk to me. You need to open up to at least me about this." She asks and I sigh. Now or never.

"Dawn, Luke is well known and his fans can be a get pretty over the top. I've kept a few updates on him over the years. I saw what they were like when he started dating Mona. They sent her death threats. I don't know what I'd do or say if they did something like that to my son." My motherly instincts kick in.

"Emily, don't worry about his fans. Luke seems pretty determined to make up for leaving I don't think even they'll sway his decision to be around."

"That's the thing. I let him leave. The only way he would've been in Cass's life is if I would've told him I was pregnant before he had the chance to tell me he would be starting tour. It's not about him not being around. I know if he is around he'll have to choose between his job and his son. I'm just trying to make that choice easier for him."

"I still think you should give him a chance." She says and I shake my head.

"I'll think about it. But right now you should get out so I can get dressed. I told Luke to be here at 11:30 today so we can talk." I say pushing her off my bed and toward the door.

"Why so soon?" She asks.

"The sooner the better."
