The Lucky One ⇝ Muke

chapter thirty one

Michael was in labour, and Luke was freaking the fuck out.

Michael wanted to wait a little while until they went to the hospital, because he just wanted to be in his own bed until the absolute last moment. As soon as he'd felt the dribbles of his water breaking, he slapped Luke and then the blond had ran downstairs to go knock at Michael's parents front door. The door had barely been open a second before Luke had yelled that it was starting and ran back upstairs again.

Michael lay his head back in his array of pillows, watching Luke panic, packing up baby clothes and Michael's clothes all while talking on the phone to his mum.

"Lu?"

Luke's head snapped up, wide eyed, "Yeah? You okay? Baby okay?"

Michael snorted, "you need to relax." He told Luke. "You're being an idiot, which isn't unlike you."

Luke smiled, "I'm just excited, and very nervous." Luke put down the bag, telling his mum he'd see her when she and his dad drove down. He hung up and sat on the edge of the bed by Michael's feet, "sorry, I'm kinda al over the place."

"It's okay," Michael said, "first contraction was okay anyway, just start to worry when I'm screaming and crying." He glanced at the clock, it was two am, "take me to the hospital at four okay?"

Luke nodded, "Okay, I'll call up the hospital and tell them, they can set up the surgery for the morning I guess."

"Good," Michael smiled softly, "you wanna come feel?" He asked, holding his hand out to Luke. Luke eagerly took his hand and was lead to feel the bump, Luke instantly felt kicks, and his face lit up, if that was even possible with how much he was already smiling. "He good?"

Luke hummed, "feels weird."

"Thanks," Michael snorted.

"Sorry, just your skin is very soft but like also hard because of him, and like, you have a child inside of you, we're gonna be dad's." Luke looked up with tears in his eyes, "I don't wanna cry but I'm gonna cry Mike."

Michael laughed, "you big idiot, come give me a cuddle."

Luke lay beside him, letting Michael pull him in to his chest, "make sure you count the time between contractions." He reminded Luke before closing his eyes for a moment. Luke let out a pleased sigh, hand on the bump, feeling soft nudges.

Luke started at the bump, seeing the skin move, he let a soft tear slip, thinking about his life just a few years ago, depressed and alone, and now he was gonna be a dad, and he had Michael and his friends and, Luke sniffled, then said quietly, "I'm a dad."
