My Greatest Mistake (Stereo Kicks)

19) Essex; The Home Of Drama

Friday 27th February 2015 (21 weeks, 2 days) (it will be tour dates in real life but I'm making the tour later on)

*Alexie's POV*

"What about Avery?" James questioned as we were driving home to Essex.

"What about Avery?" I enquired.

"You know, a name for the baby" James beamed brightly.

"I don't know" I replied bluntly.

"Or Ashlynn? Or even Amber?"

"Why are you so obsessed with naming the baby?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because she needs a name" James replied as if I was stupid.

"I'll name her when I see her" I lied.

Bloody hell, why won't he just let it slip?

"Do your parents know they are having a granddaughter?" James smiled as he checked the mirrors as we were driving.

"No" I said sternly.

"Does Aden?"

"Aden doesn't know about having a niece" I replied as I played with my hands.

"They need to know, the fans have been questioning us on twitter you know?"

"I don't need all that right now James" I replied. I hadn't even thought about twitter or the social media. The more I blocked it out, the more I didn't have to face reality.

"Is Jason going to be there?" James asked.

Oh fuck I completely forgot he could be home visiting. I didn't want or need James kicking off.

I haven't even spoken to him so he could back my story. This is not going to end well.

"I don't look pregnant do I?" I asked as we were nearly at my house.

"No, your hoodie is too big" James shrugged.

Yeah thanks for your help.

"Lexi!" My older brother shouted as he saw James' car come down the road.

"Aden!" I screamed back. I had missed my brother. It felt like I hadn't seen him in years.

I swung open the car door and jumped on him.

"You've put on weight" Aden joked.

"No, I've got something to tell you" I laughed when he put me down.

I lifted up my hoody and revealed my neat, high bump.

"Bloody hell Lex, does mum and dad know?" He asked as he placed his hands on bump.

"No not yet and I don't intend too. Not right now" I informed him sternly.

"Okay, but at least tell me everything" he insisted. I nodded.

"Okay" I mouthed. "James could you take my stuff in? I'm just going for a walk with Aden"

He nodded as he grabbed my bags from the boot of the car as we disappeared off up the driveway.

"So, who's the father?" He questioned raising an eyebrow.

"She's James'" I whispered.

"She?"

"Yeah it's a girl, I'm due July 8th" I smiled weakly.

"You need to tell mum and dad, they need to know about their granddaughter"
