How Living with the Bad Boy Saved My Life

Epilogue

***Five years later***

"What does it say?" Savannagh pried with wide eyes.

"It's not been five minutes yet, Sav" I laughed. We were both anxiously sitting on my bathroom floor trying to find a way to make five minutes pass quicker.

"God, time always goes painfully slow when waiting on the results of a pregnancy test" Savannagh laughed.

"This is the first pregnancy I've ever taken" I laughed.

"Well, get used to time going agonisingly slow. Whenever I was pregnant with Sofia, I took four tests and each one felt like I was waiting a week" she said rolling her eyes. "Do you want a baby? I never even asked" she mused.

"Well, Hunter and I haven't really spoken about it to before. I know we both do want children but it was never planned" I sighed.

"Why do you seem so stressed out?"

"Because I feel like I still have so much more of my life left to live - I'm only-"

She cut me off, "Harp, you're almost twenty seven. If this baby happens it's a complete blessing. You and Hunter both have unbelievable jobs. In the next few years, Alice is going to hand down her publishing business to you. Everyone knows it - you are the closest thing to a daughter and you've earned it. Plus, Hunter owns his own bar so you're going to be entirely fine and will be able to support the baby" she said talking sense into me.

"You're completely right, I guess I'm just scared at how much my life is going to change because of it" I sighed.

"Of course you're scared! I ended up pregnant as soon as we graduated university. Now Sofia is almost six and she has been the biggest blessing to Jake and I's life. I remember how supportive both you and Hunter were being entirely okay with us being in the house with a baby so you will receive the exact same support from us. I know one day eventually one of us will want to move out of this house and find somewhere else but until then we will fully support each other" she said pulling me into a hug.

After we graduated uni, Sav fell pregnant causing the dream of the four of us living together to come crashing down. However, Hunter and I decided to be good friends and stay living with them to offer all the support we could for Sav and Jake. The both of us ended up falling in love with little baby Sofia and we decided not to move out in the end.

Here we were, nearly six years later with me being the one potentially pregnant. I knew my life and Hunter's lives had improved dramatically but it still terrified me beyond belief that I could be responsible for a whole human. Although my mum and I were closer than ever now, for years of my life I had no paternal figure in my life showing me what it meant to be loved so I was terrified I wouldn't be a good mother.

There was no point holding off the inevitable so I sighed deeply before grabbing the pregnancy test of the bathroom sink. I changed my mind and threw it at Savannagh, "I can't look" I admitted as she quickly caught it.

Savannagh read its contents but remained silent as I stared at her expectantly. She slowly looked up at me and stared at me before speaking, "What do you truly want it to be?" She whispered.

"Positive" I whispered back without thinking. I shocked myself but now I knew what I wanted.

She started grinning before squealing, "you're pregnant."

The both of us started squealing in happiness clearly our happiness made us oblivious to the sound of the door opening. Hunter and Jake has rushed into the bathroom with worries expressions on their face. The sound of little feet running towards Sav made my heart swell. Her little girl ran up to her and hugged her mum closely. "What's wrong, mummy?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing, baby, Auntie HarpHarp and I are just really happy and excited" she said kissing her little girl on the head.

"What's the celebration?" Jake asked.

Then, Jake and Hunter's eyes zoned in on the pregnancy test in Savannagh's hand. So, it clearly looked like it was her pregnant again and not me this time.

"You're pregnant again?" Jake said shocked. Savannagh just smiled and shock her heads "Huh" Jake said confused.

I met Hunter's eyes slowly and smiled at him. Without even saying anything yet, he clearly caught on as his mouth spread into a wide smile. "Sav's not pregnant" I confirmed. "But I am."

Hunter lifted me up as he yelled with joy and kissed my face over and over again. I noticed that he had started to cry with happiness so in turn I began to cry.

"Oh God Sav, I think I'm going to cry too" Jake said emotionally as he took in the sight of Hunter and I celebrating our good news. Hunter burst out laughing at Jake and pulled him into one of those man hug type things.

"Does this mean I'm going to have a cousin, mummy?" Sofia asked Savannagh.

Savannagh nodded at her daughter with a grin. Sofia's little feet pitter pattered over to me as she wrapped her little arms around me in a hug to show me how happy she was for me. "Come on, Sofia, daddy and I are going to take you to the park" Savannagh said picking her daughter up clearly wanting to give Hunter and I some time to take in our news.

"Can we buy Auntie HarpHarp and Uncle HuntHunt a present?" She asked cutely.

"Of course" Savannagh smiled at the sweetness of her little girl.

After a few minutes the three of them had left the house leaving Hunter and I alone. Hunter was crying happy tears again. "I need to go to the doctors to be sure" I whispered trying not to ruin his happiness but being truthful with him.

"I know you do but I just know in my heart that this is so meant to be. I'm just so happy I've met you, Harper. You have changed my life, I'm just so in love with you and now we're bringing a human into the world" he grinned through tears.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more, Harper-Rose."
