Well I found love in the inside
The arms of a woman I know
She is the lighthouse in
the night that will
safely guide me home
And I'm not scared of passing over
Or the thought of growing old
'Cause from now until I go
-Hearts Don't Break Around Here,
Ed Sheeran

Luke's POV
It took me a few minutes to open my eyes, the sun peaking through the curtain at just the right spot to wake me up. I didn't move anything except me eyes as I looked to see Belles head on my chest. I instinctively pulled her closer, my smile growing. I was the last person to expect last night to be real, but I knew it was. What happened last night will be forever in my mind, because it was real.

I'd had meaningless flings for a while, and I was growing bored of it. I hated feeling no emotion, I hated not caring about the girl I was with. But last night it was different, it was everything that I needed and didn't know I needed. I wanted to show her, which I did, exactly how much she meant. I felt her stir in my arms a few minutes later, looking up at men her smile made me grin back. "Hi," she whispered.

"Hey," I whispered back kissing her forehead.

"I love you," she told me gently placing a kiss on my nose.

"I love you Belle," I told her unable to wipe the grin I had on my face. After a while of laying there whispering things to each other, I got up from my side. After walking to the bathroom and turning on my shower I looked back to see Belle covering her eyes, and I laughed.

"You cannot be serious," I told her.

"I am!" She exclaimed not moving her hand over her eyes. I noticed however, that she left her hands to not hold onto the covers. So, I yanked them off of her. She shrieked loudly, desperately curling up to cover herself. I shook my head, scooping her up gently in my arms.
"You're beautiful Belle," I told her as she looked up into my eyes, "don't ever cover yourself in front of me."

"Stretch marks and all?" I heard her whisper unable to meet my eyes.

"You have those because you created the most wonderful baby girl darling, our baby. There's nothing to hate. I make music, your body is my inspiration Belle. I will let everyone know that every inch of me belongs to you," I whispered stepping into the shower with her, letting the steamed up glass door close behind me.

Isabelle's POV
"So why am I doing this again?" I asked Mr. Cameron and a few aids with him.

"It's simple really, you have potential. Right now that potential is even higher because of Luke. By preforming at an open mic I'll see your stage presence and how you react to a live audience," he explained to me.

"Lets say I bomb the open mic-" I started but was cut off by Luke.

"Which you're not going to."

"But if I do, what happens?"

"You go back to writing songs. No harm, no foul. This is purely on you."

"And- and if I do well?"

"Then I'd have to make a lot of phone calls and get you an agent, which I supersede by the way, and work on releasing an EP. Last Kiss is a must feature and maybe 3 or 4 more songs that you think will sell," he informed me as my mouth dropped in shock.

"Oh my god," I mumbled a million thoughts racing through my brain. "Your fans are going to hate me," I told them shaking my head.

"What why?" Calum asked in shock.

"I come out of no where right, I claim that Luke's the father of my kid. Then all the sudden, under the same record label, I start releasing music? That's like textbook using Luke for fame and money. I don't particularly want to be hated."

"All those things are true, you will receive a lot of hate for this I can imagine," Mr. Cameron agreed.

"Yeah but you can't let this stop you Isabelle,"  Ashton told me.

"I don't know maybe we should wait a little more time this is all so much on them at once and-" I worried bitting the skin around my pinkie, a habit I had yet to break.

"You're doing the open mic Belle. No questions asked. Nothing is going to stop you, especially not our fans. You're going to have your own oh you could even open and-"

"Luke," I laughed warmly, "I have to do well first. You'll be there right?"

"Of course, we all will. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Promise?" I asked meeting his eyes.

"I promise."
