Loving The Wrong *Waterloo Road*

💎002💎

Ella couldn't believe she had slept with Max. She felt like a rotten sister. She knew Alexis wanted to make things work with her and Max.

Ella got out of Max's bed and sighed. She saw a text on her phone:

Alexis had her baby last night. Max wasn't there. Where are you? - Mum x

Ella broke down crying. While her sister was giving birth, she was having sex with Max. It broke her heart. She knew that no one could find out.

One Month Later.

Ella sat on the edge of the bath tub. She held the white stick in her hand. She was shaking. "Please," she mumbled. She didn't want to be pregnant. She knew it was Max's baby. She also knew that the two of them didn't mean for anything more to happen.

The timer on her phone beeped. Ella turned the pregnancy test over and felt the tears pouring down her cheeks.

Positive
3-4 weeks.

Ella put the test in her pocket and left the bathroom. She walked to her own bedroom and slammed the door. She needed to tell Max.

Ella went to meet with Max. He was waiting in a cafe. "Ella. Is everything okay?" He asked.

Ella shook her head and sat down. She took the test out of her bag and handed it to Max. "It's yours," she said as she saw the look of horror on his face.

Max couldn't believe it. He knew they hadn't used a condom but he didn't think she would get pregnant. He looked at her. "What do you intend to do?" He asked.

Ella shrugged. "I don't know. I'm too confused over it all."

Max sighed and nodded. "Okay. Look, I'm with your sister. I love her. We cannot tell her about what happened."

"Thanks. Make me feel worthless."

Before Max could say anything, Ella stood up and left. Max sighed. He knew it wasn't the right way to go about things. Max left the cafe. He saw Ella sitting on a bench.

Max decided to talk to her. "I'm sorry. I should have been more considerate," he said.

Ella shrugged. "Oh well. Don't waste your apologies on me. All I was, was just a shag. To get your end away after you had an argument with my sister."

"Oh stop. You mean more to me than that. I just have to make things work with Alexis. She's just had a baby."

Ella rolled her eyes. "It may have escaped your notice but I'm having your baby too. Or doesn't this baby matter? Cause what happened between us means nothing."

Ella walked back into the house. Alexis was there with Poppy. "Look. It's aunty Ella."

Ella smiled and held her niece. She smiled at the thought that in eight months, she would be having her own little baby. She couldn't wait.

Ella sat in bed and rubbed her non existent baby bump. She smiled knowing that her baby would change her life. But could she keep the father secret?
