Boy Next Door | l.h [completed]

Chapter 27

"Our little baby. Is back" I sniffled, cradling Matthew in my arms.

"Emma, I just can't believe this" Luke whispered.

I nodded my head in agreement and went back to staring at our little angel.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hemmings?" I heard someone call out.

I shot my head up to see the doctor that he had seen before.

"Yes?" I asked motioning for him to continue.

"You have visitors" he announced.

After he said that Ashton, my mother, my father and Kevin flooded the room.

I handed Luke the baby and went to hug all of them.

Luke just stood there cradling the baby like I had just been doing.

"Can I hold him?" my mom asked. Luke shook his head a yes and handed him to my mother carefully.

"He's so adorable" she whispered.

"Thanks" I said.

"Are you three ok?" Ashton asked.

I looked up at him to see a fake smile planted on his face.

"Yeah, thanks for asking" I said, reaching my arms out for a hug.

Ashton took the hug but pulled away after a short few seconds.

"So, the wedding is in a month?" my dad asked.

"Yes sir" Luke answered.

I had already gave Luke the lecture that he didn't have to call my dad sir anymore. But he didn't listen.

"I can't wait" my mother squealed, handing Matthew to me now.

"Now I can embarrass you. Ha" Kevin said.

I rolled my eyes. "Kevin, your fifteen now. When will you stop with the pranks. Your embarrassing yourself" I said.

"What, your only eighteen and you have a child, and going to have a husband" he smirked.

"I don't care. It's called having a family" I said.

"Yeah, what about college?" my dad interrupted.

"What?" I asked. "Sir, Emma is going to take care of our son while I go to college to be a musician" Luke said followed by a smile.

"Are you two getting a house?" my father asked.

"We actually bought an apartment already" I said.

"Oh yeah that's right. That's why I haven't seen my eighteen year old daughter in the house" my dad pointed out.

I could tell he really didn't like my decisions.

"Dad, this is my decision. Deal with it" I was getting annoyed.

"Honey, it is their decision. She is her life. She is eighteen" my mom whispered my father but everyone could really hear.

Matthew started crying. "You guys should go" I coughed.

We said our good byes and they left already.

"Are you ok?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine Luke" I lied.

I put Matthew back in his box, his lonely box.

"Let's go" I said, already exiting the room.

Before I left, I blew a small kiss to Matthew.

"Goodnight" I whispered.

When Luke and I left the room, I found Ashton sitting on the floor and his back was against the wall.

"Ashton?" Luke asked.

"Luke, Emma. Can I have a word with you?" Ashton asked Luke.

I nodded my head and exited the hallway. But I just turned to the next hallway to ease drop. What? Just want to make sure everything is fine is all.

"So, what do you need to talk to me about?" Luke asked.

"The police found out" Ashton said. About what?

"They found out? Do they know that me and you did it?" Luke asked.

I really wanted to know.

"Yeah. I guess Calum told" I froze when I heard Calum's name.

"Oh my god. Emma is going to kill me. Even worse, break up with me. I can't loose her. I can't. Both her and Matthew are my life Ashton. Emma can't find out" Luke's voice was cracking and I could tell he was crying.

I wanted to know what this was about. And I was going to get an answer.

"Just go back to her. I'll figure something out" Ashton said. I immediately started walked over to them as if I just came back from doing something.

"Are you guys done talking?" I asked Ashton.

"Y-Yeah" Luke stuttered.

"Good because I need to talk to Luke. Bye Ashton" I grabbed Luke's wrist and practically dragged him into my room.

"What?" Luke chuckled, wanting to hide the sadness in his phone.

"I heard. I heard everything. Now spill"
