Something More (Hold)

11

I reached the front door and my hear was racing. My hand was shaking as I reached up for the doorbell. I pressed the button and I heard the noise echo round the house. It didn't take long before I saw a shadowy walking up to the door. It's opened slowly to reveal Ava. She goes to slam the door shut but I put my foot in the way and push it open with my hands.

"Ava we need to talk." I say.

"You need to talk. Come on." She reluctantly says opening the door wider so I can walk in. I close the door behind me and she leads me into the living room. I sit down not he couch opposite her. She sits down and crosses her legs and stares at me. I feel so sorry for her.

"Let me start of by saying sorry. Sorry for being a dick towards you, it's just I felt like a mug when you didn't talk to me after we slept together but now I totally understand why. And I couldn't feel more like a dick. And I'm sorry for not being more careful that night, we could've stopped all this if I could've used my common sense." I say getting upset. She looks at me for a second then looks down to the ground a tear dropping down her cheek.

"I didn't wanna tell you Because I didn't wanna ruin it for you and the boys. Blair's gonna hate me and I just couldn't tell anyone. I was gonna tell you today in private but you pissed me of and it just ended up slipping out." She says still not looking up.

"I appreciate you being so concerned about me and the boys. But Ava Blair's not gonna hate you, he'll be mad for sure but he won't hate you. I'm the one who put the baby inside you so it's my fault. I can't tell you how sorry I am." I say. She finally looks up from the ground and into my eyes.

"It's okay. I just want you to understand how horrible it's been having nobody to comfort me when I've been feeling sick. Nobody to talk to and tell them my concerns." She says.

"I know and from now on I'll be here I promise. Ava I love you." I blurt out. Oh Jesus is that wrong timing. Rye you can't keep your bloody mouth shut.

"I love you too Rye."She says getting up and giving me a hug. I sit back and she just lies on my chest staring out of the window. This felt good. I'm glad I have her back in my arms.

"How far along are you?" I ask her.

"12 weeks." She says. Woah.

"Have you told your mum and dad?" I ask her.

"Yeah I have. They weren't mad just mad because they haven't met you."She says.

"Well we will arrange something because I'm gonna have to tell my parents." I say.

"Rye." She says.

"What?" I reply.

"Where are we gonna live?" She asks.

"Me and the boys are moving soon. Blair is staying in the old one. We will have a room just me and you and the baby." I tell her. Originally I was gonna share with Harvey but I like this idea better. No offence Harv.

"No I don't wanna ruin what you have. I'll be intruding." She says.

"Ava shut up. No you won't." I say bluntly.

We sat and spoke for at least two hours about the baby and other things. We decided that I'm gonna tell Blair because I think if Ava had to she would get too upset so I was gonna tell him tonight when I go back to the flat. I'm gonna FaceTime my mum and dad and tell them tomorrow, I don't think they'll get mad because they know there is nothing they can do about it. Ava calmed down a lot and started acting like her normal self which made me happy. To be honest now all of that argument is out of the way I'm actually quite excited to have a kid. I'm excited to have someone to take care of. Personally I don't think it will affect the band much because we all knew that one day we wanted kids but we didn't know that day would be this close. I know the boys will be supportive and be there for us. The kid is gonna grow up with not just one but five other caring dads. Harvey Mikey Brooklyn Jack and Andy. The kid will have an amazing life. Hey it can come on tour with us.

I left Ava at the house and made my way back to the flat where I knew Blair would've returned home. I was a little nervous about telling him but I had no choice. I know he will be mad but I do think that he will be just as supportive as the boys, Well I hope he will be. And if he isn't he's gonna miss out on one amazing kid. I got to out flat and unlocked the door. I wasn't gonna speak to the boys first so I headed straight for Blair's room. The door was open and he was sat folding some clothes on his bed.

"Blair can I have a word?" I ask. He looks up from his clothes and smile at me.

"Sure buddy what's up?" He asks. I enter the room and shut the door quietly behind me. I sit down on the bed next to him and take a deep breath.

"I'm gonna tell you something and I don't want you to get mad. It's my fault not Ava's." I say. He looks at me weird.

"Okay What is it?" He asks with a weird look on his face.

"I got Ava pregnant." I say. He drops the clothes in his hands and stands up. He doesn't take his eyes of me.

"Is this a prank." He says.

"No I wouldn't joke about this. Look." I say giving him the scan pictures. He holds the picture up at the light then hands it me back.

"Well this whole fake girlfriend thing has reached another level. Ava's career will be off for a year or so. You'll be missing a lot. But do you know what Rye. I'm happy. Your gonna bring a new little member to the alpha dog family that will be loved entirely. We can only go forward. There's no point in me getting mad because I can't change anything. Your a grown man and you can make your own decisions, I knew this day was gonna come just not as soon. But congratulations buddy." He says giving me a hug. I'm shocked. What the hell. I sit on the bed just staring at Blair in disbelief.

"Woah. Thanks Blair I didn't expect you to say that." I say standing up.

"Rye your a grown man, I'm your manager not your dad."He laughs kissing the top of my head. I love this man.
