Hi! It's been a couple of days, I've been busy and had a lot going on, but here's this:) enjoy💙

Calum

"Okay, Parker and I are staying home today." Emily said walking back into the kitchen where Eden and I were. "He claims he doesn't feel good and I'm actually sick."

A few weeks had passed since Eden was at the hospital and everything has been going well. We've been extra careful to make sure it doesn't happen again.

"Daddy-" Eden started.

"You're not staying home." I told her before she could even ask."

"But Parker gets to." She pouted continuing to eat the pancakes that she just had to have.

"Parker doesn't feel good, you feel fine. Go brush your teeth." I laughed helping her out of the chair and she walked off. "So what's wrong with you?" I asked looking at Emily.

"I was puking earlier and I just feel gross. Since I'm staying home I figured if Parker doesn't feel good I'd just let him stay home with me." She shrugged getting some water.

"Awe, feel better then." I said giving her a hug. "Go back to bed and rest, text me if you need anything. I can stop on my way home tonight."

"Okay. I love you." She said.

"I love you too, now go." I said and she nodded walking back to bed.

"Daddy!" Eden called walking back into the kitchen. "I can't tie my shoes."

"Come here." I chuckled tying her shoes for her. "Go put your jacket on, we need to leave." I said and she nodded walking to the door.

I followed her and out my jacket on as well before we walked out to my car and drove to her school.

"You're going to have a good day right?" I asked walking her towards the entrance.

"Right." She smiled.

"Okay, I love you darling." I said giving her a hug. "I'll see you later Alright?"

"Bye daddy." She smiled hugging me back. "I love you." She said before walking into the school.

Work was honestly so boring and I'm so glad it's Friday because that means I don't have to come in tomorrow.

It was also another weekend of Eden going to see Amber, who had decided that of course she had something to tell me tonight.

The day went by slow. I walked back and fourth from the photo copier to Ashton's office and then back all day long. It sucked, but I was making money which is what I needed so I wasn't in a position to complain. When Ashton finally told me I could leave I was pretty excited though.

Before leaving I sent Emily a text.

To: Emily
I'm leaving, do you need anything?

After sending the text I drove to pick Eden up from school.

"Did you have a good day?" I asked, taking her hand to walk back to the car.

"Yes daddy." She giggled. "It was Lacey's birthday so we got to have cupcakes."

"That's wonderful." I sighed climbing into the front seat while she climbed into the back. "Buckle up." I said checking my phone.

To: Calum
Actually I need you to do me a huge favor and grab a pregnancy test. We can talk about it tonight. oH and can you get some apple juice for Parker? Thanks, love you:)

I felt myself start to panic a bit after reading her text. I mean sure I already have a kid and so does she, but we haven't been together that long and we don't have space.

"Can we go daddy?" Eden whined.

"I have to stop at the store real quick." I said driving to the store and grabbing the test and then making our way home.

"You're going to mommy's tonight, so don't make a huge mess please." I said as Eden walked into her room. "I'm home." I mumbled to Emily and Parker who were on the couch.

"Hey." She sighed not looking at me. "Did you get his juice?"

"Yeah, everything's right here." I said holding up the two bags. She nodded, standing up and walking into the kitchen where I followed her. "Can we talk Em?" I sighed.

"We can talk later." She said grabbing a cup for Parker. "My kid is sick and your kid needs to get ready to leave. We can talk about it when Eden leaves." She sighed.

"Okay, fine." I frowned. "I love you."

"I love you too, now go." She said and I nodded. I walked into Edens room where she was playing on her floor. I sat down next to her dresser and started picking clothes.

"I don't want to go." She pouted.

"I know, you never want to. You'll be fine." I said as I finished packing her stuff.  "She's going to be here any minute." I said walking into the living room with Eden right when there was a knock on the door.

I sighed answering.

"Hey." Amber said curtly.

"Hey." I replied. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well first I wanted to tell you that I'm having a boy, second I wanted to try and talk about the custody thing again." She said crossing her arms.

"We're not doing this. I have enough to worry about right now." I said handing her Edens bag. "Come on darling, you need to go." I sighed.

"I love you daddy." She mumbled.

"I love you too, have a good weekend with mommy, yeah?" I said kissing her head. I then watched as she left with Amber, who clearly wasn't happy with me.

I walked over to the couch Emily and Parker were sitting on and sat with them.

"I love you guys." I sighed wrapping my arms around both of them.

"We love you too." Emily mumbled. "Parker fell asleep." She chuckled.

"Do you want me to bring him to bed?" I asked and she nodded.

"Please. He'll probably wake up in an hour, but at least he can nap peacefully." She said. "Thank you."

"Not a problem." I replied, carefully picking him up and carrying him to his bed. "Good nap Park." I sighed kissing his head before walking back to Emily.

"Can we talk now?" I asked, following her into our bedroom. "What's going on Em?"

"Well, clearly I think I might be pregnant." She said grabbing the test. "I don't know, I just feel different and I've been pregnant before and I just feel like I might be and I didn't want to freak you out but I don't know what to do." She rambled on.

"Hey, shh." I sighed wrapping my arms around her. "Take the test and we'll go from there okay?" I said rubbing her back.

Truth is, I don't know what we're going to do at all.

"Okay." She mumbled. "But what are we going to do? We don't have space and we're young, we haven't been together long and I don't-" She started.

"Emily, take the test first." I laughed hugging her. "I love you, we'll figure it out." I said giving her a quick kiss.

"Okay, okay. I'll be right back." She sighed walking into the bathroom.

While she did that I sat on the bed waiting. I wouldn't be completely upset if she was, I know I want to be with her forever so a baby wouldn't be awful. However, we each already have a kid and again, we don't have space at all.

"Calum?" Emily said walking back into our room. She looked like she was ready to cry too.

"What's it say?" I asked her.
