"𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲, 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬?"

you rolled over and decided it was time to get up.

today calum was coming home from his six month long tour. six months since he had been gone.

in that six months you took a pregnancy test since you had been feeling sick the past couple days after calum was gone. you thought it was just the stomach flu, but it turned out to be something more.

you were two months pregnant when you went to the doctor a week later. he explained that since you were short, your stomach shouldn't get too big, and that was why your stomach wasn't that big when calum left.

you decided to keep it a secret from everyone but michaels girlfriend, crystal. you didn't leave the house very much, but when you did, it was for doctors appointments and late night drives.

other than that crystal picked up groceries for you and other things to help you around the house. you wanted to surprise calum.

but today was the day calum was coming home. he insisted you didn't wake up at five in the morning to come and get him, so they called their manager to get them.

so you woke up at nine in the morning from your baby crying in the crib beside you.

it was a boy. calum always wanted a little boy, but you didn't know if it was the right time. but you couldn't help it.

you gave him a bottle so you could get dressed and ready for the day.

you put on regular clothes and a pair of compression socks. ever since you had your kid, your feet and back hurt all the time.

"y/n! the guys just pulled up!" crystal yelled from downstairs.

"okay!" you yelled back, and picked up fletcher, named after your older brother, Ashton.

you quickly changed him into some different clothes and a new diaper. by the time you were finished you heard the front door open.

"babe!" you heard calum calling downstairs.

you started walking down the stairs, holding fletcher on your hip, trying to act normal.

you locked eyes with calum and smiled. but he didn't get it at first, "are you watching someone's kid today."

"someone, as in ours, then yes." you smiled, trying to make fletcher laugh.

luke saw the baby, and dropped everything. the guys noticed as well and exchanged looks.

"what? that's not ours. i've only been gone for six months. i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure you have to be pregnant for at least eight to nine months." calum shook his head.

"calum i went to the doctor after you left. he was a slow developer. i was two months pregnant when you left, and had him last week." you smiled, bringing the baby closer to calum, "see, he's even got your nose."

fletcher laughed and calum's eyes started watering, so you held out fletcher for him to take.

he held fletcher in his arms and kissed his nose, "i can't believe i'm a dad."

"wait. what did you just say?" ashton asked, his big brother side coming out.

ashton came over, eyeing you and the baby.

"ashton, meet your nephew, fletcher."

his facial expression changed entirely, "fletcher? after my name?"

you smiled, "yep."

calum held out the baby to ashton, and once ashton was holding him, calum grabbed you and pulled you close, "why didn't you tell me?"

"so i could see this reaction on your face." he squeezed you tighter and didn't let go for a total of a minute and a half.
