"Well Emma, it appears you're pregnant."
Did I hear that right?
No, I can't be.
"P-pregnant?" I stammered, this has to be some kind of mistake.
"Yes, about four weeks along, congratulations."
I exchanged a mix of nervous and terrified looks with Ashton. We both refused to believe it. Millions of things ran through my head, before a voice broke them.
"Come back in about two months for your first ultrasound, until then, have a lovely day," he left without another word.
"Ash what are we going to d-"
"Emma I really don't wanna discuss this right now, let's just go okay? We'll talk later." he said grabbing my hand and leading me out.
We visited the front desk and paid for the visit, the drive back seeming to drag on as my thoughts swam freely again.
I have no idea what I'm going to do.
With time passing so quickly I hadn't even noticed it has gotten dark around me. The dark always fascinated me, the way it swallowed anything in its path, or that got in its way. Too much in one day has happened. The drooping of my eyelids was the last thing I felt before slipping into serenity.
"I can't fucking believe you!"
"It's your fault just as much as it is mine, Ashton."
"The band broke up because of that thing!" He gestured to my stomach. I didn't know what it was, but I suddenly got an urge to protect it.
"How dare you say that about your own child." I spat. Child?
"I can't take this anymore, I'm done. Have fun with the kid Emma," he screamed, grabbing two bags and slamming the door behind him.
I awoke covered in sweat, heavily breathing and tears running down my cheeks.
"Ash?" I called across the bunks.
"Yeah babe?"
"Can, can I sleep with you?"
"Come on baby girl, get in."
There was a small shuffling sound as he moved over to make room. I pressed my body against his as he pulled the covers over us. I guess he noticed my shaking and asked what was wrong. I explained the dream to him, almost starting to cry himself, he pulled me closer.
"That wouldn't ever happen baby. We can make it work." he kissed my forehead as sleep overtook me once more.
