"Ugh I'm so bored." Luke complained

"Dude shut up at least your not in jail." Calum responded

"Yeah but it's been two weeks, I'm home and I cant even go out with you guys."

"Well lesson learnt for next time." Mikey said

"Fuck you." Luke spat

"You wish." Mikey laughed

Luke just shook his head and grabbed his phone and pretended to ignore us all. Mikey and Calum went back to playing chess. And me well I just sat on the floor awkwardly. I could understand how Luke could be bored, I mean I would to if I was in his situation. I'm just glad that all that shit is over. Tessa and I are very happy maybe even happier than we were before. I kinda wish she was here though but shes out at lunch with her parents today. Speaking of lunch I'm hungry.

"Yo Luke what's for lunch?" I asked

"Dunno, mum hasn't gone shopping yet."

"Well who wants Kfc?" I asked getting up.

They all nodded and told me what they wanted, as I walked out the door of Luke's house. Kfc wasnt to far, just a 10 minute walk but I drove because i wasnt walking back with food.
Once I got to kfc and ordered my phone had rung. It was a private number.

"Hello Ashton, speaking." I politely said as I answered

"Hello is this Lucy's father?"

"Yes, how can I help."

I realised it was Lucy's daycare, I totally forgot Tessa gave them my number.

"Well Lucy isn't feeling to good, shes been complaining that her stomach hurts really bad. She hasn't thrown up."

"Tell her I'll be there in 20 minutes to pick her up."

She mumbled something I didn't hear as I hung up. I grabbed the food and drove back to Luke's. Michael ran up to me and took our his order, as did Calum and Luke.

"Hey uh I'm gonna duck out for a bit, I've gotta go pick Lulu up." I said checking the back full of kfc to make sure they didnt steal my food.

"Is she okay." Calum asked sipping his water

"I think so. She has some stomach pains."

Calum nodded. His eyes lit up as his phone vibrated. I ignored them and drove to pick up my daughter. A million and one questions ran through my head. Is my baby okay? Is it something bad? She was fine this morning when Tessa dropped her off. Was it something she ate?
I arrived at the daycare and rushed in to my baby girl.

"Can I help you sir." One of the daycare teachers asked

"Yeah I'm here for Lucy Vincent, I'm her father." I breathed

"Ah. Right this way. She has vomited since we've called you." She explained.

I just nodded as she lead me into a room, Lucy was laying down on a bed with a bucket next to her. She didnt look well. I knelt down next to her and stroked her hair. She opened her little brown eyes, they were glassy like she had been crying.

"Daddy." She whispered.

"Hey Lulu, let's go home hey."

She nodded and slowly got up. She didnt move much as she was in pain, so I picked her up.

"Does Tessa know." I asked

The daycare worker shook her head. I nodded as started walking back to car. I buckled Lucy into the car seat and kissed her forehead.

"You sit tight baby, daddy is just gonna call mummy and let her know okay."

Lucy nodded. I closed the car door and fished out my phone from my pocket and called Tess. She answer on the third ring.

"Hey baby."

"Hey babe, I've just picked up Lucy from daycare, she was feeling sick."

"Is she okay?" Tessa asked worried

"I think so, shes been complaining that her tummy hurts and she thrown up. I'm gonna take her to the doctors just to be sure it's nothing too bad."

"Okay well I'll be home in about 2 hours. Keep me updated please."

"I will baby. I love you."

"Love you too."

And with that she hung up, I then rang the doctors and booked an appointment for Lucy. Luckily they could fit her in at the last minute.

We arrived at the doctors with 2 minutes spare. Lucy threw up as soon we got there. She started crying. I tried reassuring her that she'll be okay as we walked in to the doctors surgery. I told her to have a seat while I let the the receptionist know we were here.
I then took my seat next to Lucy and pulled her onto my lap. I noticed some girls staring at me and whispering to each other. I ignored them until one of them walked up to me with a big smile.

"Hi I'm sorry to bother you but can I have your autograph." She asked

I nodded and quickly gave her my autograph just as the doctor call Lucy's name.

"Lucy Vincent." He called

The girl thanked me and walked back to her friends. I walked Lucy over to the where the doctors room was and sat her on the bed provided.

"Now what seems to be the problem." He asked

"My tummy hurts." Lucy said quietly

"I see. Where does it hurt?"

Lucy pointed to the side of her stomach. The doctors pushed lightly on her stomach causing her to whince in pain. I held her hand to reassure her I was here. The doctor checked her temperature. It was 42 degrees, which isn't good. I started to go into panic mode.

"Lucy have you eaten today?" The doctor asked

She shook her head. Come to think of it Lucy hasn't eaten since yesterday morning. The doctor nodded and typed away on his computer. He printed something off and handed it to me.

"This is a referral to the hospital."

"Hospital?"

Why does she need to go to the hospital?

"I believe she may have appendicitis. It would be the best explanation for her symptoms. So head over the hospital now." He stated

I nodded still in shock. I quickly raced to the car, put Lucy in and send a text to Tessa.

To:Tessa
Heading to the hospital. Doctor said she may have appendicitis.

To: Ashton
I'll meet you there.

I put my phone back into my pocket and drove as fast and as responsible as I could. I will admit I was freaking the fuck out. My baby girl was in so much pain and the cause of it could be appendicitis. I really hope shes okay?
