-five years later-
"Yeah, of course!" I smile and take the phone of a teenage girl wanting a photo with the boys. "Alright, three, two, one" I count down and snap a few photos from different angles and give the phone back to the girl.
"Thank you so much, Kat. It was so nice to meet you" she smiles and runs back to her group of friends.
"The many joys of dating a band member" Sierra, Luke's girlfriend, laughs, holding onto Luke's arm.
"Great, isn't it?" Crystal, Michael's fiance, agrees.
"Gotta love it" Amy smiles, looking up at Calum.
"Thank you guys for being so understanding about all this, we couldn't ask for better girls" Ashton smirks, kissing the top of my head.
I look up at him as we walk, he wraps his arm around my waist just like he always does. The past five years have been filled with so much happiness, sadness, stress, love, and success. Through it all, Ashton and I somehow managed to happily stay together alongside Calum and Amy.
At this point, we've all learned a lot. Unfortunately, there was a lot of pain and struggle along the way. Many late night fights, distance, failed relationships, accusations, drunk arguments, and so much more.
On an opposite note, today we couldn't be happier. We all grew up, gained new responsibilities, met new people, and we've changed for the better. Sadly, Michael grew out of dying his hair every week, Ash doesn't wear his bandannas anymore, Luke got rid of his lip ring, and Calum's iconic blonde streak is gone along with all of our thick accents.
"How about we all go back to mine, order some pizza, Ash and Kat can pick up some beer, and we all just hang out again. Haven't done that in a while" Luke suggests as we all got to our cars. We all exchange glances and nods before agreeing on it.
"Alright, see you at Luke's" Ashton says, turning from the group to walk to his car, pulling me with him.
"You alright, babygirl?" he asks as we got into his car.
"Mhm," I hum, running my fingers through his newly dyed red hair. "Where we going?" I ask.
"The ABC next to Luke's," he answers as the car came to a stop. He rested his hand on my leg and held my hand in the other. "I missed you yesterday"
"Baby you were only gone for a few hours" I laugh, holding his hand tighter. "But I missed you too, a lot. When we get home tonight, we can watch a movie on the couch,make some popcorn, and maybe Cal will let us kidnap Duke for the night. You know, to get ready" I smile, rubbing the back of his hand.
"That sounds perfect. When are we gonna tell them about our little blessing, huh?" Ash smiles, resting a hand on my stomach as his eyes were fixed on the road.
"Soon," I blush, putting my hand on top of his. "Remember, Doctor Geller said I'll start showing significantly next month, so before then."
"Alright baby, whenever you're comfortable" he says, parking the car in the empty lot.
"I love you, thank you" I say as we get out of the car.
"I love you more" he says, holding my hand tightly as we walked into the store.
Two months ago, we found out that I'm pregnant. It was a shock to both of us but now we can't be more excited about it. Since I'm four months along, I'm showing a bit and we have our guesses on what the gender of the baby is.
I think it'll be a girl considering how terrible my morning sickness has been. Ashton thinks it'll be a boy since I'm carrying a bit low. As for cravings, I've been craving saltier foods like chips and popcorn, a sign of a boy.
