I woke up to the feeling of a hand on my belly, rubbing it softly. I immediately knew who it was, and what he was doing, making a smile naturally form on my lips.
I turned my head to the side to see Ethan, his hand caressing my stomach gently, his eyes only showing lust and love as he did so. The sight of him doing that was enough to make my heart skip a beat, whilst I pulled him close to me. My love for this boy never stops growing.
" everything's going to work out great, I promise you " He said out of no where, his words barely above a whisper, meaningful and honest.
" I hope so " I responded in the same tone, my eyes never leaving his as the corners of his lips tugged up, his hair messily flopping over his forehead.
I raised my hand, running it through his brown locks gently as he kept his gaze on me, admiring every part of me. He was amazing, and the two of us were beginning to care less and less what anyone else would think.
This wasn't planned, but everything does happen for a reason, and we're beginning to accept that. We're young, nearly nineteen, but all I know is that despite our age, this baby is going to be loved with all of my heart.

" this is delicious, Lisa, thank you " I smiled, devouring the food that Ethan's mum had prepared for breakfast.
She shrugged it off as if it were nothing, the whole family finishing up their food with the chatter never leaving. Before anyone could even excuse them-self from the table, Sean spoke up, placing his hand on Ethan's arm.
" I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for the way I reacted yesterday. You guys have my support no matter what " Sean smiled, his eyes glossy as he spoke.
I smiled at his words, while Ethan nodded happily, pulling his dad into a hug and patting his back.
" anyway, how're you feeling? " He asked me, whilst I finished eating and answered.
" great, actually. I was so nervous meeting you
all, but I feel a lot better now. You've all been so lovely to me " I thanked them, genuinely grateful that Ethan's family have been so supportive.
Lisa and Sean grinned, shaking their head as if I had nothing to thank them for. I did, though. They'd brought me in and been so welcoming, despite the circumstances. Now that, is one supportive and loving family.
Before anyone could even get another word in, Lisa spoke up, with Cameron nodding her head by her side.
" how about us girls go shopping? I want to get to know you some more, come on! " Lisa suggested, a smile growing on my face at the idea.
" that'd be great " I smiled, standing up from my chair and tucking it back into the table, as well as Lisa and Cameron, who did the same.
I turned to Ethan, who was looking at me with happy eyes, obviously impressed that I was getting along with his family so well. I giggled, giving the boy a little wave before heading up to his room to get changed.
As soon as I did I put on some ripped jeans and a hoodie, not wanting to be seen with this slight bump. It wasn't that big, but from a side angle, some of the twins detective-like fans would definitely pick up on it.
I slipped on my timberlands and threw my hair up into a pony tail, not bothering with any makeup before I headed out. Lisa and Cameron were already waiting for me, looking as excited as ever.
" have fun " Ethan beamed, his lip caught between his teeth as he held back the grin which was daring to grow.
I laughed, placing a small peck on his cheek and ruffling up his soft, brown hair.
" I will "

I stared at the funny t shirt, motioning for Lisa and Cam to come over and join me.
" best grandma " Lisa read out loud, giggling away at the slogan tee before holding it against her body.
I laughed, ruffling around and finding a black one, which read super dad, with a superman logo as large as ever on the front.
" I can just imagine Ethan in this " I joked, placing it back on the rack when I saw that Lisa had already put on the top, and was modelling it.
Cameron pulled out her phone, taking a photo of her mother beside me, her arm wrapped around my shoulder whilst the two of us laughed hysterically. It was a cute photo, which she kept on her phone and tucked into her pocket.
I was bonding with the family quicker than I ever thought I would, and it felt amazing. Having them by our side during all of this was one big boost of confidence for Ethan and I.
" lunch? I'm starving " Cam groaned, whilst I nodded my head in agreement.
Lisa removed the funny shirt and placed it back on the rack, heading out of the shop with Cameron and I chatting by her side. We agreed on a little café just down the road from the mall we were in, which was apparently one of Ethan and Grayson's personal favourites.

" yeah, I have a brother called Lucas. He's nearly sixteen " I replied, taking a sip on my lemonade which had arrived.
" yes! Ethan told me about him " Lisa nodded, listening carefully to every word I said.
I had gotten to know my new family so well just on this short shopping trip, and we already felt comfortable with one another. I was learning that Cameron and I had a lot in common, and I could tell that we would grow really close.
" Ethan and my brother get along so well. Lucas was probably more excited to see him than me when we got back from Paris " I told her with a laugh, a smile appearing on the woman's lips as she heard.
She looked at me for a little while, an obvious question on her mind which she was somehow afraid to ask.
" have you got any plans on where you want to have the baby? I know it's far away, but- " She managed to get out, rambling out of nervousness.
I immediately cut her off, knowing my answer.
Cheshire's my home. But is that where I see myself living, raising a child and buying my own place with Ethan? Honestly, no, it's not.
The second I landed in New Jersey, it felt so much more peaceful. It almost felt as if I was meant to live here. I have more family and more support over here now, within the space of a day, than I have had for the past eighteen years in England. Of course, Lucas is my brother and my bestfriend, but he knows that I don't want to be stuck there for the rest of my life, and he respects that.
With those thoughts running through my mind, considering the joy I get from being with Ethan, and how he's happiest in New Jersey...
I went with my gut, and I knew my gut was right. It always is. My gut told me to give Ethan another chance, and boy am I happy I did.
" yeah, I do " I answered, her muscles softening and the largest smile growing on her and Cameron's faces when I told her what I wanted, more than anything " New Jersey "
