**Alright guys, I got the 2 votes. Here we go, enjoy! Sorry it speeds through time a bit, I just didn't want to make it painful to read, just try to imagine to time. Enjoy!**

He just stared at me. I couldn't read his face for the life of me. He was completley shocked.

He slowly titled his head back and looked at the form one more time.

"John say something...", I said quietly.

He looked up at me again, but this time his face was scared.

"I have to go, um we're going on tour today. I tried to tell you yesterday but forgot... um bye", he stammered and gave me a small wave. He was gone in a flash. I heard the door close and then his car fired up. I slid down the fridge to the floor. It had all gone as I thought it would. He was gone. What was I going to do? I started to cry and put my hands on my stomach, why did this have to happen?

Just then Jodie came inside and immediatley hugged me.

"Did you run into John?", I asked.

"Yes, I asked him what happened", she replied.

"What'd he say?".

"He said I already knew and that he didn't know how to react just yet, and then left", she said, holding me closer.

"I should just get rid of it Jodie, it's ruining my life...", I trailed off, as soon as the words left my mouth I regretted them.

"We both know that isn't an option, so don't even go there", she said firmly.

I nodded and began so sob again.

"I'm always here for you darling, plus we can have playdates together", she said trying to cheer me up.

I must admit that did make me giggle.

**2 weeks**

It had been exactly 2 weeks since I told John, and I hadn't heard from him yet. Which was no suprise anyway because he was on tour, currently in Perth. I had decided to get myself a Job, and was a waitress as a little coffee shop about a 10 minute drive away from home. I was saving, putting as much as could away for... well the baby. I was 6 weeks along and could find out the sex at 12 weeks.

However the job was mainly a distraction, it kept me busy. My days consisted of walking Balto in the morning and working until late afternoon, then I would go home and cook dinner and watch a movie. Depressing right? Jodie would come over often usually with Len, at first I thought it would be wierd for his twin to be here but I was okay with it. They were my best friends. My life was starting to become easier without John. Don't get me wrong, I still loved him and wished he'd come back but for now I could survive.

After work I got home and logged onto twitter. I saw a big pile of just the usual post, but then one stuck out to me. A fan had written to him, will you please go out with me? to John. I opened it up because he had replied. I cringed as it loaded.

JClover6723: @JohnLRPearce will you go out with me?

John Pearce: @JClover6723 I already have a girlfriend

JClover6723: @JohnLRPearce I though you guys broke up because she was prego?

John Pearce: @JClover6723 and that is why I don't tell fans anything. No, we're still together.

The rest of the comments were widely ranging from "Follow me John", "Leave her, date me" to "your a good person John"...

I wasn't sure how I felt about the tweet. His fan base knew I was pregnant, great.

I put my phone on charge and walked up to bed, I kept wishing I would wake up and it would all be a dream.

I got up in the morning and did the usual, walked Balto and ate breakfast. My life was boring now, but it was almost a nice boring. Time passed in the blink of an eye without me noticing.

**6 weeks later**

"I'm leaving now James!", I called out while taking off my apron. James was my boss, he was a great guy and had been very kind to since I'd started.

"Okay Alli, you have to text me the results!", he yelled out.

"Okay I will, Bye!", I laughed back.

My life was basically back to normal now, to how it had been before I'd met John. I would work, and then just do my own thing. There was still apart of my life missing where he belonged but with each day the 'need' for him grew less and it was just a 'want'.

I jumped in my car and headed to the doctors. Today I was going to find out what the sex was.

I promised myself that I was going to text John the results because he deserved to know. But also I think it's because any sort of communication was what I craved.

I walked into the ultrasound room and the doctor told me to lie down. I did as I was told,

"Do we have to wait for the father?", he asked setting up.

"No, he's not coming today", I said flatly.

"Fair enough, you ready?", he asked.

I simply nodded.

"This is going to be cold", he said as got a bottle of gooey stuff out. He was right it was cold, it made me jump as he rubbed it on my stomach.

He moved the wand around of my stomach until you could see the basic outline of the baby.

"There's the heart", he said pointing at the screen.

I looked over at the screen and smiled.

"The head is there, oh there's a foot!", he chuckled.

He moved it around a bit more and then grinned. He removed the wand and wiped my stomach.

"Well baby is small but I think that's because your only 20. Very healthy and has a strong heartbeat. Congratulations you have a healthy baby... boy!", he congratulated me.

I just grinned. Oh dear, there were going to be two new pearce boys in the world because Jodie was having a boy too. Actually come to think of it, Bella was the only girl I knew of. Must be a Pearce thing.

I walked out of the doctors and sat in my car. Now to tell John, call or text?

I sighed, may aswell call him. This would be the first time I talked to him since he found out. 2 whole months I'd been without him. I picked up my phone and found his name. I pressed call and took a deep as I put it to my ear.

"Hello?", he answered sounding puffed.

"Hey John, it's Alli", I replied.

"Oh... hey, um what's up?", he stammered.

"Just letting you know it's a boy", I said flatly.

"what? really?", he said. I thought I could hear a smile in his voice. I hoped I did.

"Yeah, but I have to go now", I said.

"Wait, umm, we fly back in 2 hours. Can I come see you?", he asked.

"It's still your house too", I said, almost warmly.

"Okay see you later", he said, hanging up.

When I got home I didn't know what to think. John was coming home tonight. It had been two months since he found out and he hadn't spoken to me. But then again whenever he went on tour I never heard from him anyway. He was always going to be in my life now because of the baby, but did I want him really in my life. Were we ever going to be really together again? Although he says we never broke up. I was so confused.
