Love and Basketball (Lauren/You)

Chapter 11

Y/N'S POV

Lauren still had three days before she had to go back to Los Angeles with the girls to start on their next album. There were still a shit ton of posts about her and this Ty character but I tried to pay it no mind. I tried to trust Lauren and go against my better judgement to leave it all alone. Either way, I was enjoying this time we had together; I didn't want to ruin it with my thinking that she was going to leave me for someone that gross in my opinion. That would have been a total downgrade with the fact that it would also break my heart all over again. I was not willing to go through that all over again just when I was beginning to feel healed. I wasn't going to let her get away that easily because she was mine now. By now, the two of us were just cuddling on the couch as a random romantic comedy played on the TV per Lauren's request.

"Do you think I should take a pregnancy test?" The shorter girl asked shortly after I brought myself back to reality. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at her question. I didn't know why she would be needed to take a pregnancy test if we haven't been able to see each other in months. "You know, because you didn't pull out last night?" Lauren stopped me before I could get further into my head and create unnecessary problems. When I was finally able to take into account what she was actually worried about, I couldn't help a laugh from escaping my lips which made Lauren seem very offended. At the sight, I quickly stopped laughing and pulled her head into my chest, holding it there when she tried pushing me away.

"I'm sorry for laughing okay? I couldn't hep it, you're just so cute. But no I don't think you need a pregnancy test yet. It's still too early to tell." I pulled Lauren's head away from my chest so that I could force her to look up at me. "Let's just wait a while and we can find out if you're pregnant or not when the time comes. We can schedule a doctor's appointment for the best doctor alive to make sure that we'll get the best care possible. We can do everything right when we know, but we don't yet and it's still too early to know. So don't worry your pretty little head about anything just yet, okay?" I spoke softly. Lauren nodded her head with a sigh before cuddling back into my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair as she focused back on the movie still playing in front of us and as I leaned my back against the couch.

"Is it bad that I'm kind of excited at the thought that I'm pregnant?" The smaller girl whispered after a few minutes of silence between us. I thought about her question but my answer was already clicked into my mind. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, but before I could explain it to my girlfriend, she cut me off without even knowing it. "I mean, I know we're still young but I kind of just feel like I'm ready for the responsibility if I was to be pregnant, you know? Plus, maybe it'll push over management to let me come out with you. I just don't want to keep playing these games if I'm finally back with the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Is that too much to ask for?" Lauren asked in exasperation.

"Of course it isn't babe. You deserve to live the life you want without anyone telling you anything different. I want to be able to interact with you publicly too but I can wait to see what happens. I don't think it's bad at all that you're excited because in all honesty, I am too. I want to have mini you's running around with their green eyes and dark hair. I agree that we may be young but in the end, I think we could do it if we really tried." I shrugged my shoulders even though Lauren couldn't necessarily see me. We had never really talked about the public interaction that much but I knew since her management wanted her with someone else, we wouldn't be able to act like a couple in public. That was why we had stayed here the whole time she's been here.

"Do you think one of these days you could come with me to explain to management that we're trying to start a family? You know, so they won't force anything else on me after that." Lauren asked after another couple of minutes of silence. To me, the movie had been completely forgotten about for the second time since we had been watching it. When the smaller girl looked up to gauge my answer, I nodded my head with a smile. Lauren returned the gesture and leaned up to place a solid kiss upon my lips before she settled back into her previous spot. I knew that when that time came, there was most likely going to be a shit ton of animosity about everyone involved in the situation and there's a possibility it won't end well. I was praying to god that this was a step in the right direction for us after everything we had been through.
