Sit Still, Look Pretty || COMPLETE (Book 1)

Epilogue

Riley's POV

So it turns out I'm four weeks pregnant...

I've been at home in Colibryn (Hummingbird) with my mother and my sister for the last eight days and I'm going crazy without Noah.

I still can't believe I'm pregnant.

That day, my birthday (10 days ago), was pretty dramatic once I found out.

~ flash back ~

My eyelids peal slowly open as my eyes adjust to the lights in the room. I can hear hushed whispers in the corner of the room, Ash and Abie.

"-ut, shouldn't she be awake by now? It's been two hours for God's sake!" Abie hisses frantically.

"Her heart rate is going back to normal, she should be awake soon." Ash reassures her.

I find myself opening my eyes wide once I see the old, slightly decrepit ceiling of a hospital room. I'm in hospital?

"W-what's going on?" I find myself croaking out.

"Oh my god, you're awake!" Abie gasps, rushing over to the bed and taking my hand.

"Rachel linked us when you were in your room, she said you were hyperventilating and couldn't breath." Ash partially explains.

I look at him with eyes that say 'go on...' and so he does.

"When we got to your room you were lying on the floor, unconscious with the pregnancy test in your hand..." He trails off, trying to control the anger that just flashed over his features.

I gasp.

They know.

"Please tell me you didn't hurt him." I burst into tears, imagining the worst. "I can't live without Noah."

"Ssh, do you really believe me, Rachel and Izzy would let them lay a finger on him? C'mon Rile, you know us better than that." Abie gives my hand a squeeze, sitting on the bed next to me and pulling me in for a hug.

"I'm sorry." I cry, pulling away from her. "I-im so sorry, Ash. Talk to me, please."

"Ash. Ash, say something!" I sob, looking up at his darkened, almost black, eyes.

His face softens as he looks at my pleading figure. Abie gets up from the bed and leaves the room. Ash takes her place on the bed. He pulls me in for a hug, lying in the bed next to me so I can cuddle up to him. I lay my head on his chest as he plays with a strand of my hair.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, Till." He whispers, placing a gentle kiss on the top of my head. "And don't worry about Noah, either. We won't touch him; not now you're mated and are carrying his pup. We wouldn't do that to you."

"Thank you." I whisper, wanting to keep the calm and quiet atmosphere in the room.

Apparently no one else got the memo, as the moment is ruined by the door slambing open, revealing my mother.

Well shit.

Who the hell told my mother!? Trainers, the lot of them!

"Aww, my poor baby! What happened this time? Why are you in here? Are you Ok? Did someone hurt you? Was it that boyfriend of yours, what's his name again? Nethan, Nathaniel, Nate?" She rambles, acting like a concerned mother. She didn't even act like this when i tried to kill myself...

"Its Noah, and no, he didn't hurt me." I mumble.

"Well, why are you in here then?"

"I'll, um, leave you to it." Ash mumbles, scurrying out of the room like a little scared rat. And a rat he is. Traitor!

"Um, you might want to sit down." I mumble, grimacing slightly as she puts her serious face on.

"Um, mum... I'm pregnant." I hold my breath, waiting for her reaction.

Turns out her reaction is bolting out of her chair and running out of the room...

********************************************************

As soon as my mum leaves Ash shuffles back in, his head hanging low.

"Traitor." I mumble, annoyed.

"What, were you just not gonna tell her something as big as this and then three weeks before you give birth be like, 'oh hey mum, by the way, I'm nine months pregnant. Sorry I didn't tell you.'?" He mocks.

"Of course not, but maybe I could've done it in a different way." I pout, knowing he's right.

"I'm right and you know it!" He grumbles, taking the seat next to the bed. Why am I even still in this bed?

"Why am I here again? In a hospital I mean."

"Because you stopped breathing and none of us knew what to do." He explains. "Oh, and they want you to take one of their pregnancy tests to make sure."

I gulp. "Ok."

"Where's Noah?" I change the subject.

"He's getting a lecture off his mum about what a condom is." He chuckles a little too hard.

"Ugh." I cover my blushing face with my hands. "When can I see him?"

"How about right now?" I hear my mate's amused voice from the other side of the room.

I yank my hands away from my face and beam at the godlike creature standing in the door way.

"Ok, imma leave." Ash once again bolts out the door.

There's a slightly awkward silence as he walks over to the bed.

"So, pregnant, hu? I must be really good." He winks, slicing the tension like cake.

"You're an idiot." I laugh, turning red again, making him laugh.

He leans down to my stomach, placing a hand on either side of my, almost, flat belly and placing kisses over the blanket covered area.

Now that I come to think about it, I have noticed my stomach looking not as flat recently, but I put it down to my new diet of junk food everyone has my trying.

Oh god, are you allowed to eat unhealthy? What if I've hurt the- the baby?

"The baby is fine, Rile. The heart beat is strong." He beams up at me.

"B-but Rachel said it was faint and hard to hear."

"Rachel was right; she's the only one that picked up the sound, but you passing out must have made the baby stronger some how?" It sounds like he's asking a question.

"So what you're saying is, I need to hyperventilate more?" I tease him.

"Shut up." He pouts, laying on the bed next to me. Our legs tangle together and my head rests on his chest as I slowly fall asleep.

~ end of flash back ~

My mum came back the next morning, once I'd taken the second pregnancy test (which I didn't need, but the doctors were human so...). She cried into my shoulder for a while, telling me all the things I'll be missing out on.

But she's wrong. I will continue school, even if it's online. I will go to collage. I will be independent and won't rely on her. I will get another job, not modelling. I will face time Noah every day, I'll fly him over if I have to.

I WILL have a normal life, just with an extra bonus.
