Returned Home (Piers Nivans x Reader)

Returned Home (Piers Nivans x Reader) Pt44. (End)

I held Piers' hand the whole way back. All our faces were dirty and scraped, and Chris and Jen were the only ones asleep. Her head was on his shoulder, his head was resting on hers.

(Y/N): "Hey, Jake."

Jake: "Yeah?"
My mouth hung open for a few seconds before I could form any kind of words.

(Y/N): "I'm sorry. I was a raging bitch to you. I was just scared, and worried about everyone else. I know you were just trying to help. I shouldn't have pushed you away like I did. Are we still....OK?"
He dropped his head, looking at the floor of the chopper for a minute.

Jake: "It wasn't just you. I was an asshole, to both of you. I get pushing people away, I've been there."

Alyssa: "We all have."

Jake: "God knows THAT'S true. I guess I'm just trying to say....I'm sorry too."

(Y/N): "I think we both fucked up a bit. You willing to move past it?"
He reached across and put a hand on my shoulder.

Jake: "I am if you are."
I put my hand on his.

(Y/N): "Looks like I still got my brother then. Thank you."
He smiled and Alyssa put her head on his shoulder.

(Y/N): "And YOU!"

Alyssa: "ugh, I know, right? Now I look like some cross between an old lady and a science experiment."

Jake: "Actually, I think it looks good."
Stasia was flying the chopper, but I guess she was listening to us. She turned to look at the six of us.

Stasia: "Plus, now you have mom AND dad's eyes. Mom's always been with me in my eyes, dad's been with you in yours. Now they're BOTH always with you."
She held up her wrist, showing her birthmark.

Alyssa: "Yeah, so are you."
--------------------------------Time-skip---------------------------------
It's been 4 months China, and a lot of changes have happened in this short amount of time. Jake and Alyssa actually found a new apartment a few blocks from our house. Jen and Chris are now engaged and living together. And me and Piers....well.....

Jen: "Check it again!"

(Y/N): "Jen, for the 8th time in the past two minutes, it takes 5-6 minutes for it to finish. Plus, this is the third one I've done."
The two of us are sitting of my bathroom floor next to the sink, holding the door closed with our backs. The timer on her phone beeped, and I shot a hand to the counter. I took a breath and looked at it.

(Y/N)/Jen: "Holy shit!"
--------------------------------Time-skip--------------------------------
I was just finishing dinner when I heard a knock on the door.

(Y/N): "Babe, can you get that!?"

Piers: "One sec."
I heard the door open, and voices in the next room.

Chris: "Hey, hope we're not too late. This one STILL won't stop staring at that ring on her finger."

Jen: "Can you blame me? It's freakin' gorgeous!"

Jake: "Figured we were all comin' here, so we all took the jeep."

Alyssa: "Believe it or not, I let this LUNATIC drive."

Stasia: "Hey, I did good. I only hit a COUPLE bumps in the road."

Jake: "It's called 'the sidewalk', Stasia."

Stasia: "HA HA, I see why you fell for him. Sorry, I'll quit joking."
I had JUST finished setting the table. I put the last box on the table as everyone came in. Jen came over and pulled me close. I heard her start whispering in my ear.

Jen: "They're gonna lose their minds."

(Y/N): "Shhhh."
I laughed as Alyssa and Jake walked over.

(Y/N): "Hey you t-.....Um, Ghost? What is THAT?"
I pointed to the ring on her finger. She pointed her thumb towards Jake.

Alyssa: "Give ya' three guesses."

Jen: "Oh my GOD! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!!?"
Jen darted over, almost knocking her over while hugging her.

Piers: "When did you ask her?"
It still surprises me that Jake and Piers have ACTUALLY been getting along these past few months. I looked over to see Piers with his hand on Jake's shoulder.

Jake: "Yesterday. Crazy thing didn't even let me finish asking her before she said 'yes'."
Jen and Alyssa were a crying mess at this point.

Jen: "Oh my god, I'm so happy for you! I hope I'm one of your bridesmaids."

Alyssa: "Duh, all three of you are."
After a few more minutes of tears and congratulations, we sat down at the table. Everyone but Jen looked confused by the boxes on the table in front of each seat.

Chris: "What's with the gifts?"

(Y/N): "Well, I'm gonna count to three. When I do, open your boxes. One.....Two...Three!"
Jake got his open first, pulling out a little yellow cap. Chris was second, puling out a pacifier. Alyssa and Stasia were both third, each holding up a pair of yellow booties. Jen pulled a yellow shirt with a smiley face on it out of her box, tears already down her cheeks. Piers had the last box, and pulled out a 'See you in 9 months' baby's T-shirt. The look on his face was priceless. Pure shock. He got out of his chair and walked up to me, putting a hand either side of my waist.

Piers: "(Y/N)?"
I put my hands on his, moving them to my stomach.

(Y/N): "Piers.....I'm pregnant."
Tears ran down his face, Jen was past sobbing, and everyone else was starting to cry.....Everyone except Jake. My heart sank a bit, until he got up and came over to us.

(Y/N): "Jake?"
He didn't say a word. His face was blank, I couldn't read it.

(Y/N): "Say someth-"
I was cut off when his arms wrapped around me. His shoulders jerked when he started crying into my shoulder.

Jake: "I'm BEYOND happy for you. The both of you."

Piers: "When did you find out?"

(Y/N): "This morning, while you were at the store. Jen was in on it too."

Jen: "Hey, you sold me out!"

Chris: "So THAT'S where you were rushing to this morning."

Jen: "Maybe a little."

(Y/N): "This is what you've been fighting for. What ALL of us have been fighting for. It's the reason we get up in the morning....It was never JUST for the BSAA."

Piers: "It was for the future."
Chris held up his glass.

Chris: "For the future."

All: "FOR THE FUTURE!"

(A/N: "Thank you so much for reading through this MASSIVE story. I hope you all enjoyed it, as much as I enjoyed writing it <3")
