Julia's POV 

"Tom, wait a sec", I called, gently pulling his arm to prevent him from going any farther as we were making our way back to where he previously was with Judy and Harry amongst others. Tom hummed in response before turning around to face me as he waited for me to go on. 

"Don't...tell anyone yet okay ?", I shyly requested, my eyes wandering everywhere except on him. For some reason, I felt embarassed to ask him that and I think I was having trouble to hide it. 

"Oh...okay", he awkwardly responded, a somewhat confused look on his handsome face. He was probably not seeing what was the point in keeping my pregnancy a secret now, but fortunately he didn't press the subject, and just grabbed my hand as we started walking again. 

Judy and Harry gave each other a look when we finally reached them, their gaze questioningly landing on our intertwined fingers for a short moment. They didn't say anything, but I guess they were wondering what the hell could have happened to suddenly cause the 'I completely avoid you' to turn into 'I hold your hand'. Well, true enough, the both of us had been acting pretty weird towards eachother recently, so it wasn't surprising our behavior had gotten people around us curious eventually.

The rest of the afternoon passed and it was soon time for everyone to go back home. After saying my goodbyes, I walked to the parking lot to find my car where I had left it a few hours ago. I got in and turned the key in the ignition, ready to leave, when a knock on the window suddenly caught my attention. I turned my head only to find Tommy standing outside. He motioned for me to roll down the car window which I immediately did.

"Yeah ?", I spoke first in a questioning tone.

"Uhm, I was wondering...", he began, nervously scratching the back of his neck, "Would you like to come over tonight ?"

"Sure", I nodded, shrugging my shoulders in the same time because I was kind of hesitant though. It had been a while of us keeping away from one another, so I wasn't really used to spending time with him anymore. Anyway, I knew it wouldn't take long for me to get used to it again.

"See you later then", Tom stated with the ghost of a smile on his lips. He then stepped aside and adorably waved at me as I drove off. I looked at him in the rearview mirror unitl he was completely out of sight, my heart somehow aching as his form slowly faded away in the distance. A few tears rolled down my cheeks, accompanying the knot that had just formed in the pit of my stomach. I had that bad gut feeling that soon Tom would disappear from my life just like his reflection in the rearview mirror just did. I didn't know how and why, but I  would lose him and the only thing I'd have left of him would be the memories of all the beautiful moments we shared. Now it was nothing but a gut feeling, however my instincts sadly rarely mistakened.

I ended up staying at Tom's for the night. We had a real good time I must say. We had a romantic dinner, we cuddled on the couch while watching random movies, and we also talked a lot. 

We talked about us, our relationship, the baby, our future

We talked about us, our relationship, the baby, our future. Well, he talked about it actually, while I was just listening. He had a lot of plans for us already and to be honest, it kind of freaked me out for some reason. I tried a few times to explain to him how I felt about it and also that I was still seriously considering an abortion but he didn't seem to understand. It's like he was so into his thing that he wasn't even able to process my words. In fact, he was becoming a little too excited about the whole thing, and it got me growing very nervous because, as I already said, there was still no garantee I was gonna keep the baby. I still had to make up my mind, and I needed time to do so because it was definitely the hardest decision I'd ever had to make in my life. 

The night went on and the topic of our conversation finally changed, causing me to relax a little. I shrugged off all my worries and focused on snuggling close to Tom aka my favorite pillow instead, enjoying the heat radiating from his body and listening to the soothing sound of his heartbeat until we went to bed. 

Somehow, we ended up making out as soon as we made it to the bedroom. After carefully laying me on the soft matress, Tom made sweet love to me, handling me as if I was a precious diamond he could break if he wasn't gentle enough. He literally showered me with kisses and feather-like caresses, whispering a lot of I love yous in my ear from the second we got started to the moment we both reached our high in each other's arms. 

After we were finished and we got under the covers, Tom spooned me, burrying his face in the crook of my neck and placing both his hands flat on my stomach, rubbing it ever so softly every now and then. In all honesty, having him constantly touching my belly was making me terribly uncomfortable, although it hadn't been long since he began doing it. It made me feel like he was already becoming attached to the baby, and only the idea of it was terrifying me since once again, maybe we wouldn't keep it. 

"I love you so much, both of you

"I love you so much, both of you. My two angels", he murmured shortly before falling asleep, snapping me out of my thoughts in the process. What he said was really cute, I was perfectly aware of it. I should probably have melted at his words, however I didn't. Truth be told, it freaked me out even more.
