Chapter 11 - Bump

Emelia’s P.O.V

It’s been a couple of months now. Well I think. We have been here for so long that I’ve lost track of time, every day is the same. I am starting to doubt that someone will even find us, I think they’d still be looking, Luke is still famous after all….

 Oh god the fans. This is probably terrible for them, for months now Luke has been missing with no signs of him, they probably think his dead. I pray no-one has done anything horrible to themselves because they’re trying to cope with Luke gone. It’s the last thing Luke would ever want, people hurting because of him.  And what about his band, they probably are even more distraught, Luke is a brother to them, they spend practically 24/7 together. How are they coping? Are they still touring? Did management give them a new member to replace him? This whole thing is a mess… and his family, like it’s already hard for them seeing their son go away for months on tour and being away from home but what if he never came home.

I didn’t even realise I was sobbing heavily until I feel Luke pull me into his lap and cradle me in his arms. I hate pregnancy sometimes. Urgh hormones, why do I have to be so emotional.

“What’s wrong?” I hear Luke ask while tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear.

“It’s ugh nothing, it’s just well I was thinking how everyone is, like you’ve been gone for a while” I whisper while still silently crying.

Luke hugs me tightly before saying, “It hurts me too not knowing how everyone is taking this, and you have people too who miss you but I guess we have to forget about them for now and stop worrying because I’m sure everyone would rather us focus on surviving then about how their doing”.

“yeh I know but I know that if we ever get out of this, things will never be the same again” I reply.

“that’s true but no matter what happens in the future I promise I am never going to leave you or little hemmo” he continues.

I smile at the mention of little hemmo. That’s the nickname Luke gave to the baby a few months back and I think it’s cute.

I turn around in his lap and lean up to place my lips on his and give him a soft gentle kiss, him smiling into it.  He pulls away after a minute and kneels down in front of me, placing his hands on my bump.

 I don’t know how far along I am because we have lost track of time here but I am probably half way through because the morning sickness has stopped and for the past few weeks I’ve started to show, I  have a small but definitely recognisable pregnancy bump.

“How are you little hemmo, are you being good to mummy?” I hear Luke say to my stomach which makes me adore him more.

“You know I love you right” I say looking down at him.

“Not as much as I love you” he replies and stares into my eyes.

After a minute or so of silence and just enjoying each other’s company Luke speaks up again. “So have you thought of any names?”

To be honest I never really thought about it, but now actually considering it I have 2 names come to mind.

“I was thinking Hazel if it was a girl and Casey if it was a boy, what about you?” I say.

“I liked the names Sydney for a girl, after my home city of course and Alexander for a boy” he replies smiling.

“I like that” I say before continuing “What if for a girl we call her Hazel Sydney Hemmings and a boy we call him Alexander Casey Hemmings”

Luke stands up and wraps his arms around my waist.

“that sounds perfect Emelia” he says and gives me a sweet kiss.
