2.1 Camping

I woke up the next morning to someone standing in front of my window.

"Alana?" I whisper covering my eyes to block the sun that was coming through my window as she had moved.

"About last night, this morning." She says looking down at her hands.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too, I get so worked up over mum and I thought you did too."

"We can't just pretend she doesn't exist Al."

"I know. Did she ask why I wasn't there?"

"Yeah and I told her the truth, she understood but just before I left she told me to give you a letter." I say leaning to get my bag so I could give her it.

"I'll read it when I get back from camping with Ashton."

"Okay, have fun by the way." I say.

"Thanks, I'll try." She smiles.

"Give me a hug Alana." I say opening my arms out, she ran at me and attacked me into a hug.

"Careful!" I shout immediately regretting it.

"What? Why?"

"My stomach is feeling off." I lie.

"Did you drink last night?"

"I had a little bit of champagne."

"Maybe the bubbles are getting to you." She says feeling my head.

"You don't feel warm."

"Alana, go on your camping trip."

"Okay, hey a picture fell out of your purse. Is it of you and mum?" She asks picking up the ultra sound picture. I freeze as she looks at it and frowns.

"Zoe?" Alana asks turning to look at me.

"Alana."

"Are you, you know, pregnant?"

"Yes." I answer truthfully.

"Oh my God! How long have you known?"

"I found out yesterday, that's why Luke and I were home at 3am."

"Who's the dad? Is it Luke?" She asks, I shake my head bite my lip.

"You're gonna hate me."

"Oh my God it's Ashton's." She says.

"What?! No!" I shout.

"Who then?"

"Calum's." I mumble.

"Sorry, what?"

"Calum's."

"He was the guy you slept with that night?"

"Yeah."

"I should have known!" She shouts stamping her foot, "I owe Ashton money."

"Sorry, what? You bet on me?"

"Ashton bet that it was Calum cause you went out with him and I bet it was some random guy."

"Some random guy?! Alana that's worse!" I shout.

"How are you going to tell him?" Alana asks.

"Calum?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know, any ideas?"

"Don't tell him in a public place, just sit him down and tell him."

"I was thinking today, do you think he's awake?" I ask.

"He came up before for some cereal so I'd say so."

"Cereal?"

"Michael ate the rest of it." She laughs. I nod my head and get out of bed throwing on a jumper.

"Let's do this." I say as I put on my Doc Martens, Alana laughs and shakes her head.

"You're wearing penguin pyjamas and doc martens." She laughs.

"It's so hard being this punk rock, lets go." I say pushing her out of my room.

"What's dad going to say?" Alana asks as I carry a light bag for her down the stairs.

"Fuck, Dad." I answer as Alana knocks on the boys door.

"Alana! Zoe!" Calum shouts happily, my stomach filling with butterflies as I see him so happy, he won't be that happy soon.

"Hi Calum." Alana says walking past him, I hover in the doorway before dropping the bag and running back up stairs.

"Zoe?" Calum asks following me up the stairs as I barge through the front door, startling Aurora who was eating cereal on the couch, and running into the bathroom to throw up.

"Zoe! Are you okay?" Calum asks running beside me to rub my back.

"Yeah I'm fine, it's just morning sickness... fuck." I say. Calum's eyebrows furrow together as he stares at me.

"Did you just say morning sickness?"

"Calum, come join me on the bed." I say wrapping my arm around his shoulder and leading him out the bathroom.

"Wait, I need to use mouthwash." I say running back to the bathroom and cleaning my mouth quickly.

"Okay." I say walking in to see him staring at the ultrasound.

"Not how I wanted to tell you." I whisper moving closer.

"Is, is it mine?" He asks looking at me.

"Please don't hate me Cal."

"I don't know what to say." He mutters staring at the picture. I sit next to him and put my arm around his shoulder.

"I understand if you hate me, I understand if you never want to talk or see me again."

"Don't be stupid Zoe. This is our baby, I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon."

"Really?"

"You mean a lot to me and so does this baby, even though I just found out about him/her."

"Calum this means so much." I whisper.

"How far along?" He asks.

"5 weeks."

"Once we get to the 12 week mark we'll tell everyone. I assume Alana knows."

"Yeah and Luke."

"Luke?"

"He was the one that made me realise, that's why we came home at 3am, we were at the hospital."

"Oh okay. Right no more people are to know. 12 week mark okay?"

"Okay."

"I just don't want to jinx anything."

"Okay, Cal it's going to be okay."

"Have you thought about college? What your dad will say?"

"Worry about that tomorrow, right now I just want to be happy because I have a human inside of me and it's half me and half you."

"Let's cuddle."

"You always want to cuddle." I joke. He smiles and shakes his head.

"You're stuck with me now remember that." He smirks.

"Better you than some idiot in a bar."

"True." He says, "I mean it Zoe, I'm here to stay and I'm going to look after you as much as I can. I'll get a job and I'll earn money so we can afford a crib and everything."

"Calum, thank you." I whisper kissing his forehead.

"I'd do anything for you." He smiled kissing my nose and moving closer so I could snuggled into his chest.

"I'd do anything for you too." I tell him breathing in his scent.
