Wild heart - Bradley Will Simpson fan fiction

THIRTY FOUR

~*Becky's POV*~

We've been back from Australia for a while now and Brad and I started trying for a baby a few days after we arrived in Japan. We sat down with Anne-Marie and Derek on Skype and spoke to them about it the day we arrived, just to make sure they were alright with it. They said more or less exactly what mum said and are happy for us to try. But we haven't had much luck yet and I think we're both losing hope.

We're off to New York City today. It's my first time to New York so I'm really hyper. Sammy is the same; I think Connor is getting a little annoyed with her...

Today is Father's Day and I've been in a bad mood ever since I woke up this morning. Brad understands that it's because my dad died so he's kind of keeping his distance as not to annoy me or upset me.

We're sat in the living room giving Derek his father's day gifts and cards, when a thought hits me.

I rush into the hall and quickly pull my coat and Doc's on.

" I'm just popping to the shop. I need some gum." I tell Brad.

" Do you want me to come?"

" No, it's fine. I just need some space to clear my head.

Brad gives me a sympathetic smile before kissing my head and telling me to stay safe.

I rush down the road to the shop and buy a fathers day card. I find a pen in my pocket and sit down on the bench outside the shop to write the card. I seal the card and scribble 'Daddy x' on the front.

I rush back to the house and let myself in. I hang my coat up and kick my shoes off. I slowly wonder back into the living room to find everyone watching the TV. Brad looks up and smiles at me when he notices my presence.

I hold the card out for him and he hesitantly takes it, giving me a questioning look. I sit down next to him and notice we have everyone else's attention now. I hold my breath as Brad reads what's on the front.

" You didn't have to..." Brad whispers as he starts to cry.

" I did. Open it." I instruct as I, too, start to cry.

Brad takes a steady breath before carefully tearing open the envelope. He opens the card and starts reading.

To our dear Daddy,

Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the world

Brad, whatever happens, we'll always stand by you. You would have made an amazing father and role model for Charlie, and you will for any other children we have in the future. And I love you unconditionally.

Love Becky, Charlie and bump xxx

The card falls from Brad's hand and his mum picks it up and starys reading it. Brad turns to face me, tears flowing from his eyes.

He places his hand on my stomach and I place my hand on top of his.

" Really?" He questions, sounding very vulnerable.

I nod.

Brad chokes up and pulls me into a hug. I hug back just as hard.

He pulls away and presses his forehead to mine.

" We're going to have a baby." He states, smiling like an idiot.

I smile broadly back and nod. Brad grabs my face in both hands and kisses me hard. Anne-Marie, Derek and Nat all cheer and we both smile into the kiss.

***

We spend the rest of the day we have together with Anne-Marie, Derek and Nat congratulating us. Brad and I collect our bags and catch the train to London to meet the others at the airport.

We can't wait to tell everyone...
