One week later
*nicky's pov*

Like every morning for the past week I woke up alone in the double bed feeling extremely nauseous wanting nothing more than a cuddle. But every morning Ashton was gone and at work almost two hours early just so he could be at work longer for a distraction of the pain of his mum being ill in another country.

As I began to get out of bed I heard my phone ping instantly grabbing my attention when I saw kensie's name pop up

Kensie: hey Ashton said you aren't well :( he's let me have the day off as there's no work for me to do. Can I come over and see you??

Me: don't be silly of course you can come over. I need company it's super quite when Ashton is at work and it's the staff day off.

Kensie: okay I'll be round in 5

I quickly switched my phone off and went to the wardrobe and slipped on my black and white jogging bottoms and placed a white crop top over my head wanting to wear the most comfortable clothes I could due to me feeling so sick and dizzy today. As I began walking down the stairs a soft knock was heard on the door signalling kensie's arrival.

As I opened the door I was engulfed in a hug instantly making me feel a bit better then I previously did just from the human contact I'd wanted since I woke up.

"Come on lets go sit down and have a chat" kensie said walking towards the front room as I closed the door

"About what?"

"Why your boyfriend has been at work at 6am this past week and why you're feeling so sick" she said sitting down and patting the seat beside her signalling me to join her on the sofa "start with Ashton" She said as I sat

"His mum is ill Kens. They don't know what's wrong but they know she doesn't have long left to live, but obviously she's in Australia and Ashton is here so it's hard for him to work out when the best time is to go over as he doesn't want to go too early or too late" I said as she nodded "he may own his own business but he can't just drop it in one moment just because of a family problem. He's got no one to cover him if he goes. So he's going early one for an escape from it in his mind and two to get as much done as possible so he can visit at some point"

"Why can't you cover him?" She asked as I looked at her confused

"He wouldn't let me do that kensie that business means too much to him for me to fuck it up"

"Nicky you're literally fully qualified for it, you were his assistant for so many years you know his job inside out. At least suggest it to him, the worst thing he could do it say no and you're just showing you care by asking if he needs help" she said as I nodded

"Yeah I guess that is true"

"Now Nicky I'm gonna be straight with you and your little sickness bug" she said crossing her legs and facing me on the sofa "when was the last time you and Ashton had sex?" She asked as I choked slightly

"You're not suggesting I'm pregnant are you?" I laughed as she looked at me sternly

"Nicky I'm being serious you need to take it into consideration considering you are never ill. So please answer my questions"

"I don't know it was about a week ago maybe." I replied as she grabbed her bad from the floor and began rummaging around before bringing out a pregnancy test box and placing it in my lap

"Do you always carry one of these around?" I asked confused as she shrugged

"You never know who will or where you'll need one" she replied as I laughed slightly "now go do it" she said pulling me out of my seat ushering me to the bathroom with her following me hot on my heels before hovering outside the bathroom whilst I did the test. After doing the test I placed it on the bathroom counter and left the bathroom walking towards kensie

"So?" She asked a I shrugged

"Gotta wait 15 minutes. Do you want a drink?" I asked making my way towards the kitchen.

"Nicky how are you so calm I'm freaking out for you and I'm not the possible pregnant one" she said as I passed her a coke can from the fridge

"Because I just think I'm ill I'm not pregnant me and Ashton have spoke about that stuff and decided it's not the right time for us" I stated taking my bottle of water out

"Accidents can happen Nicky" she said as we left the kitchen and began walking back to the bathroom on the opposite side of the house

"Kensie what do I do if I am pregnant?" I asked a and shrugged at me

"It's completely your choice what you do Nicky" she replied as we entered the black and white tiled room and both stared at the plastic stick flipped over currently hiding the result

"Can you flip it?"

"Nicky I am not flipping it you have pissed on that" she laughed as I shook my head before flipping it

"Oh my" I said bringing the piece of plastic closer to my face making sure what I was reading was true "kensie what am I going to do?"

"You're going to tell Ashton that's what you're going to do"
