32 | Little Fingers And Toes
The show wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Normally, my head isn't a mess and I feel confident as ever - as for tonight? Not so much. To put it simply, I was constantly asking myself questions such as; can the crowd tell I'm pregnant? And another one of my minds favourites' - how on earth am I meant to tell Luke?
I'm pretty sure he won't take it lightly, especially after he was so careful that we used protection. What if he leaves me? I can't get rid of the baby, I just can't. But I also can't raise it on my own. I'm just caught in a metaphorical vicious circle.
The show dragged and felt like forever until finally ended. I tried to keep a smile on my face as I exited the stage - I really did. But the second I walked into the hotel lobby and saw Luke waiting, fear sat in the pit of my stomach and I instantly felt my hands get sweaty.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong then? Oh can't just run away like-".
"I'm pregnant," I gasped for air as a little pressure lifted off my shoulders. Suddenly my lungs didn't feel so trapped and the tingling in my ears stopped.
But then I looked at my my boyfriend who stood with his mouth agape and confusion spread over his face.
"Is it mine?"
How could he possibly think it wasn't? Is he accusing me of cheating?
"What do you mean: is it yours?" I ask completely shocked and hurt.
"I mean - did you cheat on me?" He gritted his teeth and anger washed over his face.
"How dare you assume that! You really think you can automatically assume I'm a cheat when the only time I've ever had sex with someone was with you? Are you delirious?" I shout in rage - people in the hallways suddenly feeling awkward and walking away.
"I don't know I had to ask! How, we used a condom? You've got to be kidding me?"
"Oh, I see. You think this is a joke?" I chuckle furiously and quickly run off into the toilets across the hallway where I was earlier, reached into the bin I put my used pregnancy test in and ran back out to shove in against his chest.
"Real funny." I muttered as I walked back to my room feeling heartbroken.
I open the door quickly and run inside to the ensuite and bawl my eyes out. Maybe it's the hormones or maybe I'm just really upset, but I feel like my world has just crashed down around me.
I quickly wipe the stray tears from my cheek and stand up to look in the body length mirror.
"I'm sorry if you heard that baby, daddy's just a little upset right. Mummy is too - we're not mad at you we promise. You just appeared a little sooner than we expected. I love you and I can't wait to meet you, to hold your little fingers and toes. Stay safe in there," I whisper gently whilst looking at my slightly bumped belly.
I don't know how I didn't see it sooner. The spicy food craving, the weight gain, missing period - now it all adds up. Never in a million years did I expect this to happen, but it did. I just hope Luke comes around and is happy, at the minute I couldn't bare to see his face - but maybe once we've both cooled off we can talk.
That's what he wanted to do in the first place; talk. But as soon as I tried I began shouting. To be fair, I was called a cheat when actually I've been faithful since day one but what really got to me was the fact that he said that I was making it up. There was a line and unfortunately, he crossed it.
Maybe I should just do this on my own, god knows Luke is scared out of his mind. I don't blame him, but he needs to make a decision before 48 hours time because this baby doesn't deserve to be played around and neither do I.
