Not A Mistake ~ Tom Hiddleston

O16 ~ Whatever Happens

A few days went by without saying a word to Tom. {Y/bf/n} did everything in her power to make you forget about the sudden drama that had entered your life and although it is still far from over, you have made up your mind about the whole pregnancy thing. You have decided to keep it. And by that, you really mean keep it.
You just have to tell the father about what's going on and now is your chance.

He's calling again and when you answer it, he sounds worried and also a little bit angry. '{Y/n}! I've been worried sick! What happened, why didn't you call me back or answer the phone in the first place?' This is hard for you. You never meant to upset him.. it was pure fear that drove you to this in the first place. 'C-Can we meet? I need to talk to you.' You hastily say, your hands trembling while you say it. 'Is everything ok? I didn't mean to upset you! I'm not angry! I swear!' How sweet of him to think this is his doing.. Technically it is his doing but it is also your own. 'No, it's not your fault. I just really need to talk to you but I want to talk in person. Is that ok? Could you come over?' It's quiet for a few seconds.'That would be difficult, seeming I'm in New York at the moment.' New York? 'What? Why?' What a stupid question.. He's working probably. 'I'm discussing a potential role, love. But I'm done by the end of the day. Probably. I will get the first flight to you, ok?' You appreciate it so much that he is willing to fly to you the second he is available. Or perhaps he is making time for you. 'Is it not too much trouble? I think it can wait if you're really busy.' You don't want to force him to rush here. 'No. It's fine, love. I'll be at your place by tomorrow. I promise.' He assures you. 'Ok. I'll see you then.' You hang up the phone and plop down onto your bed, lying on your back while staring at the ceiling. A sigh leaves your lips as you place your hand over your stomach. There is no visible sign of pregnancy, yet. 'Whatever happens, I'm going to keep you and I will love you forever and I will make sure that you will get a future, a wonderful life! You can never lose me!' You softly poke your stomach. Right here, you make a vow to your unborn child.

And indeed, the next day, a little after eight pm, he's at your home. He smiles as he holds a beautiful bouquet of flowers up to you. 'Goodevening, darling.' He says and steps inside after handing you the bouquet. 'Wow!' You gasp, taking in the wonderful scent of the flowers. 'They're beautiful! What is the occasion?' You walk with them towards your kitchen and put them in a vase to then place them on your dining table. 'You deserve them! You're keeping up with me even though we can't go public or even official! so I wanted to thank you with flowers!' That's so sweet of him and it takes away some of the nerves. Although fear is still poking its head around the corner, whispering to you that he'll leave you. 'Thank you, Tom! I love them!' You say and turn to him. He's already sitting on your couch, waiting patiently for you to join him. 'Listen.' You turn serious now because the whole reason of him being here is to tell him the big news. His smile fades and concern is now showing on his beautiful face. 'I have something to tell you.' He reaches for your hands and you gladly places them in his. 'I'm not sure if you're going to like this and if you don't, I need you to say it now because then I won't bother you with it ever again.' You want him to know that he shouldn't feel obligated about all of this. 'What is it, love? Do you want to end it?' You shake your head. 'No, I don't want to end it..' You take a seat next to him, staring into his blue eyes while saying your next sentence. 'I'm pregnant.' You expect to see the colour drop from his face but instead, he starts smiling. 'You-You're pregnant?' You nod, tears forming in your eyes. 'If you want, I take the blame for this but I'm not removing it.' You state, almost crying but he hushes you, putting a strand of your hair behind your ear. 'This is wonderful! I'm going to be a dad! We're going to be parents!' He cups your face and kisses your forehead. 'Y-You don't think it's a mistake?' He shakes his head. 'A baby is never a mistake, love. He or she will be loved, taken care of and will have a wonderful life with us.' A smile forms on your lips. It's almost unbelievable! You had never expected a reaction like this!

'But if we're confessing things, I'd like to be honest with you as well.' He starts, tightening his grip around your hands. You stare into his eyes, hopeful of what he's going to say. It can't be much better than this! He just told you that he is happy with the baby so whatever it is, it is perhaps going down the negative road. Or that's just your insecurity speaking. 'I'm fully aware of the age difference between us, {y/n}. So, I get it if you think this is wrong. Although you are carrying my child. But still! I love you! I have just recently realized that when I was in LA. I was longing for you and I desperately wanted to hold you. My dear {y/n}. I love you so much, even Shakespeare couldn't write a novel about it. And I'm hoping that you love me too because I can't imagine my life without you in it.' Whatever you told yourself about the whole negative road thingy, it's gone. You release your hands from his grip only to place them around his neck and one of them on his cheek. A smile is tugging at your lips while you get lost in his icy blue eyes. You can't believe this and you certainly can't believe how Tom Hiddleston, an A-star actor has let you into his life and heart. But most of all, you can't believe how much you love this man before you. Not in a fan way anymore. No, as a genuine, passionate and caring love.
'Would you say something, my love? I'm not sure what's going through you now.' His voice softly says.

'I love you too, Tom.' You whisper and feel how in a matter of seconds, his lips gently on yours in a soft but very loving kiss. You flutter your eyes close and move your lips over his. Is it going to be ok after all?
