Torn

Chapter Twenty Eight

I was discharged from the hospital Friday morning after being cleared of cancer and declared that I was for sure one hundred percent pregnant. Calum was smiling ear to ear as he led me out into the warm sun. He helped me up into the car as if I were disabled, I pressed a smile as he gleamed while putting my seat belt on. I felt like snapping at him but I knew he was enjoying the moment of me being healthy.
As soon as the wheels were on the road I spoke. "We were always careful always." I shook my head as Calum's face pinged with guilt. "Why are you making that face?" I hissed, refusing to take my eyes off of him.
"One day, in the morning, before band practice, we fucked and it broke." He said slowly. My body heated as anger shook through my veins.
"What broke?" I snarled at him.
"The condom." His voice was low, he was speaking timidly because he knew he was in the wrong.
"Why the fuck did you not tell me."
He shrugged pulling into a parking lot. He turned the car off and turned to me. "I didn't think anything would come from it, excuse my pun but it wasnt a lot." I rolled my eyes at him fully furious.
He undid his seat belt and took my hands into his. "Please just forgive me." His voice was warm like soft caramel. I couldn't think straight as I looked at him so I turned my attention to where we had parked. The car sat in front of another furniture store. "Why are we here?" I whispered.
"Well I kind of told the boys they can stay with us but the fact that we don't have any beds kind of put a damper on that." I nodded before undoing my seat belt. He caught on to what I was doing, I watched as he struggled to get out of the car quickly. I couldn't stop my giggles as he slid across the hood before reaching my door. He held his hand out to me, "careful." He whispered concern soothing his voice.
"I'm pregnant Calum not dying." My joke took him by surprise his eyes suddenly sadden. "Too soon?" I mumbled.
He shook his head. "You're here that's all that matters." He leaned in soft lips to mine as his finger traced a line down my stomach.
"Stop touching it." I swatted at his hand, but gave a soft smirk to take the edge off of my blow.
He shrugged draping an arm across my shoulder. "You will fall in love don't worry." I ignored his comment as we walked in, cameras began to flash around us. "Fuck I'm sorry." He mumbled.
"Let's just get this over with." I watched as he nodded.
Five different beds, five lamps, five tables, and five TV's later we left. I was exhausted my head was swimming as he helped me back into the car. The large vehicle full of our new furniture followed behind us as we drove through the warm streets. "I really love it here." I mumbled as music played throughout the car. "It has a nice charm to it." A large hand squeezed my knee, I looked over at him. Eyes on the road but a smile was beautifully across his lips. The ride was peaceful as Calum's favorite piano pieces engulfed the car.
My beautiful home came into view, it took my breath away like the very first time. "I can't believe we live here." I smiled at him.
"Everyone is here for your party." He said once at my side.
"The party oh yes I almost forgot." I honestly just wanted to go lay in my new bed, with my fiancé and sleep. "What about the beds?" I mumbled as he led me inside.
"I will work on those." He kissed my temple as the door came open. Calum's mother greeted me with open arms.
"You have no idea how happy I am to see you, oh with rosy cheeks." She kissed my forehead as her arms replaced Calums.
"Welcome home!" Everyone shouted, my cheeks warmed with embarrassment as Harry took me into his arms. I slumped against him, his smell intoxicating me. He pulled back green eyes staring into mine. "May I?" he whispered glancing down at my stomach. The bump had gotten a reasonably size larger since the last time I had saw him. I nodded with a warm smile as he dropped to his knees in front of me. Warm eyes glanced over my skin as his large fingers spreaded. "Quit fighting your love for me" i looked down at him shocked that he had said that out loud but he wasn't paying any attention to me. His large green eyes were staring at my stomach in admiration. I shook my head in confusion as Allison came our way.
"Okay, okay that's enough let me see my healthy best friend!" Allison snapped pulling Harry away. "I am so glad you are okay." Her hand slapped hard against me. "If you ever get cancer again you better fucking call me."
"Okay, okay." I chuckled. Everyone led me into what would be my living but as soon as I saw it my breath got caught in my throat. "You guys fixed my furniture."
"No I did." Calum's voice said from behind me. "I tried to place things where I could picture you drinking your tea and reading your books." His eyes filled with love as warm lips touched mine. The living room looked gorgeous. "And I hired a designer for the little things." He shrugged his lips still connected to mine. I threw myself into the kiss, wrapping my arms tightly around him; squeezing him to me. "You did perfectly." I whispered before pulling back.
Calum led me to the couch that his sister picked out and sat me down on his lap. "I called your mom." He whispered. My heart stopped as I turned to him. "She needed to know what was going on. She would like you to call her."
I shook my head. "No." how dare he. "You know I don't want to talk to her."
"How would I know that you never speak about her." He snapped back. I stood from his lap and marched my way out to our back yard. The ocean was crashing waves as I came closer. Warm sand filled my toes as I took a seat.
"Talk to me." My head snapped to the side to see Harry beside me. "come on you need to let it out."
"My mother." I sighed running a hand through my hair. "Isn't my biggest fan so to speak." He raised an eyebrow prompting me on. "My choices don't match her expectations, to her I am nothing, big disappointment. For fuck sakes I'm dropping out of college to move in with my boyfriend."
"Aren't you going to go to school here?" he asked smoothly.
"How am I supposed to do that now there's a baby? It just fucks everything up." He starred out into the ocean. "Do you ever think about what would happen if I chose you?" I whispered after a moment. His sharp in take made my heart race.
"Why are you asking me that?" I shrugged, I had no answer at all. "The answer's yes, but it won't change anything you're getting married."
"And I'm pregnant." I snarled.
"Don't look at this baby as a negative thing okay." He pulled me into his side as a warm arm wrapped around me. "I think you will look lovely with a bouncing baby on your hip. A good ole milf." His large hand squeezed my shoulder.
"No ew." We both boomed in laughter. Too soon he was rising to his feet. "Come on Calum's probably worried.

*calum's pov*
Toni waved to Allison and Ashton as she shut the door. I smiled as she plopped down beside me only the two of us left in the house. "It's been a long day." She whispered laying her head down on my lap. "But I'm glad you were right beside me during it all."
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I am sorry about brining up your mom." She closed her eyes.
"she needed to know." Her small body sat up as she smiled at me. "Wanna go to bed?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Like bed, bed?"
She leaned in her soft lips traced my collar bone. "Yes" she purred against me. "Or maybe here? The possibilities are endless." i gripped her face, green eyes were blazing with heat as they stared at my lips.
"Here." I moaned flipping her onto her back. The skin across her stomach was warm as i push the blue cloth up. I nibbled under her breasts as the shirt was fully removed. Arching her back she pushed herself into me.
I gasp jumping to my feet. "Stand up."i snap quickly as I shut the blinds. I kept my lips on hers as we walked to the back of the couch. "Put your hands there." i whisper pointing to the couch as undid her jeans. she swayed her hips side to side teasing me as i roughly bit down on the skin on her hip. She cried out within a muffled moan. "Fuck hurry." she groaned dropping onto her elbows. Before she could adjust I was in her, skin to skin. I moved slowly testing her patience, before setting a punishing rhythm. Gripping onto her blonde hair i angled my hips to the right spot making her knees shake as she wrapped around me.
She slowly sunk to the floor her eyelids heavy. "are you going to sleep here or in our bed?"
I watched her chest move up and down. "I would like to take a bath." she finally whispered. I smiled picking her up, her giggles filled the house as I ran up the stairs.
