Song for this chapter: 'The Only Reason' 5sos.

"Don't talk, let me think it over,

How we gonna fix this?

How we gonna undo all the pain?

Tell me, is it even worth it?

Looking through a straight line,

Taking back the time we can't replace."

•Finn's POV•

Morning broke and the Suns burning light creeped in through the blinds. I looked across at the clock, it read 5:50. I lay there feeling the rhythmic breathing of Emily against my body, flashes of last night whizzing around my mind. This girl got given one hell of a hard life, full of stress and worry didn't she?

No matter how hard I tried to sleep my mind continued to work over time.

I rubbed circles repeatedly on Emily's arm with my thumb gently.
The reality checked in that her parents had literally just walked out on their daughters life all because she made a little mistake.
To be honest I am just to blame but that's not the point.

I slowly climbed out of bed to head downstairs before scooping up Emily, so I didn't wake her, and taking her down with me. I didn't want her to be upstairs on her own. To my surprise Jack was lay on the couch already when I got down there.

"You alright buddy?" I questioned him as he continued to stare at the wall

"Yeah sorry, just couldn't sleep" he broke out of his trance.

I placed emily on the couch and went to grab a blanket from under the stairs.

"Same here, thoughts of yesterday are stressing me out" I explained getting the Blanket

I covered emily up and put her head in my lap as I sat next to Jack.

We sat in a comfortable silence for a few seconds.

Jack turned his head towards emily looking down at her before breaking the silence.

"She'll pull through. She's got that little one to look forward to" he spoke about our baby.

"Yeah she will, and I'll be supporting her all the way" I smiled at her in the same way as Jack.

Jack coughed a little and the smiled drifted from his face as he looked away quickly.

"Look mate I'm sorry for everything I didn't mean to hurt you. Things just were meant to happen this way. I hope your okay with everything, I mean it's okay if your not, things have happened so quick and you two, well, you kind of had a thing so I understand" I spoke sincerely knowing what his thoughts were.

Jack didn't speak for a while and just continued to keep his head turned to the floor.

"I I ii I know. It's fine. She will always be something special to me and I hope you understand that? I can't help it but I'd do anything for her and if she ever gets hurt then they'll have me do deal with. But I know who much you two love each other and I could never be that good for her. I know you'll look after her and create a great family. I wish you luck bro. I'll always be here for you." He still didn't look at me until his final words which made me smile.

We both sat back on the couch smiling. I tucked my legs underneath me joining Jack in the same position.

--------------------------------------------------

The sudden movement in my lap caused my eyes to spring open. I took in my environment noticing Jack's head on my shoulder. Dear lord I must have fell asleep on the couch.

The movement happend again but this time with a groan. I looked down to see Emily with her face screwed up clutching her stomach.

"Shhhh" I soothed Emily as she groaned from the baby's kicking.

She stretched and sat up opening her eyes

"How did I get down stairs?" She questioned as her eyes focused

"I brought you down here" I laughed quietly looking at the clock again. Reading 8:30am. Still too early.

She looked across at Jack, smiling sincerely.

"Hayy" she softly said to him.

"Hello you" he smiled back "Breakfast?" He asked

"Pancakes with blueberries and ice cream please" she smiled cheekily

"Omg you'd want the world if someone asked you!" Jack joked "And what would my lovely brother like??" He questioned me.

"I'll have the same if you don't mind?" I smiled just as emily did before.

Jack scowled jokingly and went into the kitchen.

I leant over to emily and lightly kissed her lips.

"What was that for?" She giggled pulling away.

"Just becaaaauseee I loveeee youu" I sang

"Shut uppp, you're making my ears hurt!" She laughed

"Just because you're a great singer doesn't mean we all are!" I teased. Emily has always been a great singer even when we were younger.

By this point my mum and dad were now down stairs and talking to Jack in the kitchen.

"How about we film a video later and you can sing and I'll play the ukulele?" I questioned

"I dunno. I haven't sang in ages on my channel?" She spoke unsure.

"Come onnnnn. It'll be great!!" I persuaded
"Pleaseeeee, pretty pleaseeee"

She smiled.

"Urmm. Okaaaaaaaaay. I'll do it for you!" Emily laughed.

"Yeeeesssssssss!!" I shouted in victory emphasising the 's' sound.

-----------------------------------------------

•Emily's POV•

I finished my last mouthful of my pancakes Jack kindly made, before placing my knife and fork on my plate and pushing my chair out to take the plate to the kitchen.

"Thaaaaanks Jackyboi" I shouted skipping to the kitchen.

"You'reeeeeeeee welcoommmmeeee" he cheered

"Hey, urm emily" Andy spoke out

"Mhm" I answered

"Have you got enough clothes here?" He asked

"Urmm. I'm not too sure?" I began thinking

"Okay well, do you still have your key?" Andy asked

"Yyeaah I thiiinnkkk?! Yes definitely i do" I spoke

"Okay well I'll keep checking to see when your mum and dad go out and perhaps you could go and get the rest of them?" He smiled

"Thanks Andy that would be great!" I smiled back.

"When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart,

I'm fighting hard to breathe,

You're the reason, the only reason

Even though my dizzy head is numb,

I swear my heart is never giving up

You're the reason, the only reason"
