Not A Mistake ~ Tom Hiddleston

O24 ~ Sister

 After dinner you hear a key being turned in a lock before a cheery voice echoes through the house. 'Oh, I almost forgot. Emma is coming over.' You immediately feel your anxiety playing up. You know he has a sister. You just didn't know it was time to meet her already. Her eyes meet yours as she enters the dining room and she squeals excitedly. '{Y/n}! In the flesh! I was dying to meet you! How are you and the baby doing?' She shakes your hand before pulling you from your chair and hugging you. 'Y-You know about that?' You gaze at Tom who has an innocent look on his features. 'Yes! Tom told me but seeing your reaction I'm guessing you didn't know that.' She says, also looking at Tom. 'No but I'm glad that you know! It's very nice to meet you.' You don't mind him telling her. It's his sister and besides, you told everyone even before Tom knew.

Back in the living room, you're playing a quiz game with his family. Now that you had a chance to talk to Emma, you already adore her. She's so sponteneous, caring and sweet. Plus, the bond she has with Tom is so lovely to watch. 'Alright.' Diana starts, holding up a new card. 'You could lose two points with this question.' That's nothing so it must be an easy question. 'Give the name of the best James Bond parody.' The best is simply an opinion but ok, you got this. You write your answer and grin when you see that Emma writes down the wrong answer. 'I see you all have something and I can already say that Emma, dear. It's not Johnny English.' She sighs and crosses down her points only to write down the new score which is two lighter. 'I see you both have Austin Powers and that is correct.' You high-five Tom even though it's not a team game. 'Moving on.' Diana grabs the next card from the pile. 'Oeh, this is a good one. Seven points if you don't get this one.' Oh, a challenge!

'Let me show you to the room you will be staying tonight.' Diana takes your hand and leads you up the stairs, straight into Tom's old room. 'Of course Tom will share it with you. I'm past the stage of keeping you apart. Especially now that you're expecting.' You chuckle lightly when she says that. Could you imagine if she was to forbid the two of you sharing a room? You and Tom are too old for that. 'I do think it's wonderful, you know. Tom told me you were scared for our response because of how it went with your family. You're welcome here at all times! Even without Tom. As of today, you are family to us.' Her words tear you up a little and she grabs your hand to squeeze it lightly. 'I mean that.' She adds and you thank her, sniffling a little while wiping your cheeks dry with the sleeve of your shirt.

That night just before bed, you speak with Emma who is getting ready to go home. 'Good to see you, {y/n}. I just wanted to say that I loved meeting you. You're such a great match with Tom! And just between us girls, you're way better than "America's sweetheart" Taylor Swift.' She giggles what makes you laugh too. 'She was nice and all but you could see that they weren't really in love.' It's the first time you hear someone talk about his relationship with Taylor and to be honest, you don't really want to know about it. That's over and it's hopefully not coming back. 'Well, thank you for saying that! It makes me feel special.' You chuckle and give her a hug. 'Alright! I hope to see you again soon.' She says and then leaves.

'What did my sister say to you?' Tom immediately asks when you walk back into the bedroom. 'Nosy much? It was about Taylor.' He furrows his eyebrows together and pulls you into his arms. 'She couldn't just keep it in.' A sigh leaves his lips but he shrugs it off easily. 'Thank God I'm done with that one.' You look at him with confusion. 'Why? I know that everyone writes her off as a snake and other names but is that really true?' He shakes his head and moves slightly so that his head is resting against the headboard of his bed. 'Not entirely. Only when you break up is when she shows her true colours. While dating she was ok. Only a bit needy.' Oh. 'But when you break up with her, it's hell on earth for the poor guy. John Mayer even contacted me to tell me he's sorry for me.' You can't believe this and it makes you laugh. 'But we're on good terms now. As long as we don't bring up the past and that's easy because the only time that I see her now is at an award show.' Ah, that's right. Award shows was something you had forgotten about. 'Speaking of, in five months there is one and I'm not sure if I'm nominated yet but there is a chance. If I have to go there, would you like to come with me? We weren't caring about paparazzi anymore, were we?' A smile forms on your lips and you excitedly nod, leaning in to peck his lips. 'Of course! I would really love that! But, I'd be five and a half months pregnant then. When do you want that to come out?' You could see he hasn't really given that much thought. 'That's ok. I was thinking of announcing it when you would start to see a bump.' You nod in approval. 'That sounds fair.' You say and place your hand over your stomach. 'I'm really curious what we're going to get. Would you like to know when they can see it on the ultra sound?' He immediately shakes his head while placing his hand over yours on your stomach. 'No, I want it to be surprise. You can know but I won't be coming with you to that appointment then.' He's really serious about this but you just smile and nod, telling him you would want it to be a surprise too even though the curiosity.

Later that evening, when you're both in the bed and Tom already fast asleep, you take a look around his old room. The only thing that is giving it away is his wallpaper. All of his other stuff is either gone, in the attic or went with him when he left home. It's now a guest room with new furniture and even a new floor. At least, that's what Tom told you. You imagine when he was still a teenager with a messy room, and posters from his favourite bands and perhaps even a few models. You chuckle to yourself. A whole lot of memories are in this home and you can't wait to hear more from his family about those memories.
