"Connor!" I shouted, as I pulled myself mercilessly from my bed, "Get me a glass of water!".
Normally, Connor would tell me where to go- but I'm 8 months pregnant so he has no choice. It's been eight months since we had that party down by the riverbank, and where Ricky got me pregnant.
"I'll get it! You just chill," Ricky said, as he stuck his head out of under the covers. He's been so good to me since I revealed my pregnancy to him in September. I remember he didn't freak out, like I thought he was going to.
Previously
I'm so nervous. Ricky could leave when I tell him. I hope he doesn't because I can't afford to look after a baby on my own- I'm hardly an adult myself! Ricky is the only support I have (other than Connor and Mia, but I can't take money off them). If he goes i will crumble. I hear the door creak open.
"Ricky? That you?" I say nervously.
"Yeah babe! I'm just going to get a Starbucks, you want one?"
He poked his head round the door.
"Come sit, I have something to tell you", I said, feeling like I was about to burst into tears. He say on the sofa next to me and smiled.
"What's up?" He said in a calming voice. I sat in dead silence.
"Come on, you ca-" he began.
"I'm pregnant" I whispered gently, before he could finish.
We sat in silence again for what felt like forever.
"So when do we start shopping for baby things then" he said happily.
Thank god Ricky didn't get up and leave! He's actually really excited.
He grabbed his camera out of our room and he began filming.
"Hey guys! It's Ricky- today we have a very special announcement!" He said, with a total cheesy grin," WE'RE HAVING A BABY!" He screamed down the camera as we began to get up and dance.
Presently
"Here's your water sweet pea" Ricky said, as he handed me the ice cold water. I'm so glad he's here- he does everything for me and doesn't make me feel stressed about money. If I'm uncomfy he will sit for what can be hours making me comfy again. We already have all our things for the baby. In march, we found out we were having a baby boy- Ricky was over the moon. His dream was to teach his little boy how to play baseball and sports and maybe even youtube. We are choosing between two names- Alex and Ben. With only three weeks left until the baby is due, we are getting a new house near Connor and Mia because "Uncle Connor" doesn't want to be too far from his nephew. The relationship between Ricky and Connor had been a bit rocky since he left o2l but I think they are back to normal now. Me and Mia are now best friends and we usually go baby shopping. My life could not get any better.
