~Mitchel's POV~

That evening,I was cooking dinner with Clinton and Jesse,and I started to drift into my thoughts. I smiled to myself and then my shoulder was shaken.

I snapped out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked.

"Dude,you full on spaced out. You okay?" Clinton asked.

"Yea. I'm just really happy." I replied.

"Happy or on something happy?" He asked with genuine concern.

"Genuinely really happy." I replied.

He softly smiled. "Well you gonna tell me or what?" He asked.

"Who wants to know what?" Astrid asked,walking over.

I hugged her from behind. "Can we tell Clinton?" I asked her softly.

She smiled. "Sure love." She replied softly.

"What are y'all hiding?" Clinton asked,giving us a suspicious look.

"Astrid's got a little bun in the oven." I replied with a big smile.

Clinton's eyes went wide. He dragged me outside and smacked me upside the head.

"You fucking idiot! A kid!? Mitchel Charles Cave! What the fuck bro? On god... Mitchel we raised you better than this! I taught you better!" "What are mum and dad gonna say when they find out!? God damn it Mitty!" "You've only been dating for a couple of months... You do realize anything.. so so much can go wrong to cause a breakup!" "Then fucking what? Think of how the fans will take it when they find out! It'll ruin the band's rep!" "And it'll ruin her life too! She fucking deserves better! What about then huh?" "She deserves better than this fuck up you've gone and pulled. You're Unfuckingbelievable. "Do you ever use your brain Mitchel!?" He vented.

I crossed my arms and sighed as I rolled my eyes. "Ya know... We were planning to tell everyone altogether.. I was hoping you'd be most excited and supportive.." "Fuck you Clint.. Astrid I the best blessing that's ever happened to me. So what it's only been a few months almost a year of us dating.." "We're both really really happy. And if you think I don't beat myself up about all the negative what ifs on the daily, fucking think again." "I'm excited as hell for this kid but I'm scared as hell too. As I should be." "Yea I'm still fucking young,and trying to get my shit together,but I'm going to do fucking anything and everything." "and all the things in between,to take the best care of Astrid,and our kid. I'm gonna be the fucking best dad. Just you wait and see." "So fuck you." I spat.

I went back inside and I stomped up to my room. A second later, Astrid came in and laid beside me. "Come here baby boy." She said softly, opening her arms.

I cuddled up to her and rested my head on her chest. She wrapped her arms around me and played with my braids and rubbed my back.

"He was so disrespectful Astrid. He did nothing but belittle and degrade and doubt me... and then he said I was ruining your life.." "and all he cares about is the band's reputation and our parent's and fan's opinions.." I complained. I started crying.

"I'm so sorry Baby boy. He's really fucking stupid for saying all that. It's nothing but nonsense and lies. That was so cold hearted and shallow of him to do." "I'm sorry he jabbed at all your sensitive spots. He's a coward. What a fucking asshole. I'll get Jesse and Kras and Pat to straighten him out." "Hell, I'll do it myself if I have too. I love you so so much my beautiful angel." "My sun and moon and all my stars. My first flowers of Spring and first colored leaves of Autumn. My boy." She reassured me and comforted me and praised me.

"My life has only gotten so much better with you in it. You make me feel on top of the world,constantly. I've never been this happy,and I'm so grateful I am,and it's all thanks to you." She explained soothingly.

I hugged her tighter,and she wiped away my tears. "Can I have a kiss?" I asked softly.

"You may have all the kisses. As many as you'd like." She replied endearingly.

We spent the next half hour softly kissing each other.
