Assisting Love (Waterloo Road)

Amelia groaned as she woke up. She stood from the bed and sighed. She sat on the edge of the bed and glanced to tom over her shoulder as she was hut with the feeling of nausea. She rushed towards the bathroom and closed the door before she threw up. She slid down to the floor and sighed. She placed a hand on her stomach and sighed. She knew that she needed to tell tom that she was pregnant. But she was scared, she loved tom and knew he loved her, but she felt as if it was history repeating itself. She felt as if it was like when she felt pregnant with Lillie-Mae. Amelia and max were in love once and it was four years ago. But as soon as Amelia had Lillie-Mae. He left, he left and she was left alone with Lille, until max upped and left. Amelia sighed to herself as she stood from the floor that she was sitting on. She pulled her hair into a bun and walked back into the bedroom. She lay back in bed with tom as lillie-mae came walking in. "hey" Amelia said as she pulled Lillie-mae to her and hugged her. She brushed lillies blonde hair out of her face and smiled down to her" I love you mummy" lillie-mae said as Amelia smiled to her "I love you too baby" Amelia said as she sighed to herself. She glanced to tom who was sleeping and sighed "im hungry" lillie-mae said as Amelia to chuckled "come on, we'll get something to eat" Amelia said.

Amelia sighed as she met up with Madison as they went shopping "so what's going on with you?" Madison asked as Amelia looked to her and sighed "max told you, didn’t he? Is that the reason you wanted to go shopping?" Amelia asked as Madison smiled "yes, and I thought that as your sister you would have told me that you were pregnant, I thought you and tom wanted a baby" Madison asked "I do...we do, I haven't told him yet. Mads, you know what it was like last time, I thought that I loved max and I was having his daughter and then she was born and it all changed, what if it happens again?" Amelia asked as Madison smiled to her and looked "you know that, he deserves to know. Its his child and as much as I love max, tom isn't like him. Tom has taken on Lillie-mae as his own and you know he loves her, he won't leave you like max did, he loves you too much too do that. But you need to tell him, you know that the longer you wait to tell him then the harder it will get to tell him and that angrier he will get that you didn’t tell him" Madison said as Amelia sighed. She knew Madison was right, either way she was carrying his child and he did deserve to know the truth.

That night, Amelia sat having dinner "are you okay?" Tom asked Amelia as she looked to him and smiled "I'm just tired" she said as she looked to Liliie-mae who sat playing with her food "lillie, don’t play with your food" Amelia said as Lillie-mae looked to her and frowned "I don’t want to" she said as she crossed her arms over her chest causing Amelia to sigh "don’t start" Amelia said "you no like me anymore, daddy say you have a new baby" Lillie-mae said as Amelia froze She looked to Lillie-mae "what?" Tom asked as Amelia looked to him and sighed "your pregnant?" Tom asked as Amelia saw just how angry who looked, angry that she hadn't told him.
