Chapter 68: A Change of Plans
"Can you give us a minute?" Liam requested. The doctor nodded and walked out quickly. "Angel, what the hell are you doing?" Liam asked once we were alone. He took my hands, looking at
like I had lost my mind or sothing.
"Liam, we can’t have a baby! I’m sixteen. You’re going to college. We can’t," I explained, shaking my head.
He shook his head. "Angel, think about this, please? I love you, you love . I want us to have kids one day. I an, shit, this is A LOT sooner than I thought." He blew out a big breath, running a hand through his hair, nervously.
"Liam, we can’t. You’re going to college in Boston for goodness sake; I can’t raise a baby on my own. Don’t be ridiculous!" I cried, shaking my head. He wasn’t thinking this though properly.
He climbed onto the bed, laying next to . "Angel, just hear
out, OK?" he pleaded. I nodded and looked at him, unable to see what he could say to make this right. There was nothing he could suggest, there was no other way. "I love you more than anything in the world. Before this happened I was going to reject my scholarship and go to a college here instead," he started. I opened my mouth to tell him he was being stupid, but he covered my mouth, looking at
pleadingly. "I wanted to ask you to co with
to Boston. But I can’t ask you to move away from your ho and Jake and your friends, so I decided to stay here with you instead," he said, shrugging.
Jeez, he is so damn adorable and sweet and thoughtful. But how the hell does any of this relate to us having a baby, aning that he probably wouldn’t get to go to college anyway as he’d have to drop out and get a job? I’d have to drop out of school without even graduating.
He smiled as he continued to try and convince . "We could make this work; I know my mom would help out. I’ll go to college and get a job in the evenings and weekends to earn so money. You’d have to either finish school by correspondence, or we could get a childminder so you could go to school. Or maybe even my mom would do it," he suggested, looking at
hopefully. "That’s our first baby in there, Angel. That’s a baby that we made together. Can you just think about it, please? It’ll be hard for a little while, but once I get signed by a team, I’ll be able to give you anything you want. Both of you," he cooed, rubbing his hand over my stomach lightly.
"Liam, I don’t want to ruin your future," I whispered.
He smiled and kissed
lightly. "Angel, you’re my future," he countered, slipping his hand under my top, and placing his hand on my stomach.
I looked at his gorgeous face; his blue eyes were sparkling with love as he stroked his hand across my stomach. "I didn’t do this to trap you," I said nervously.
He laughed and rolled his eyes. "You trapped
when you were four years old. You were wearing a dark blue dress with a bow on the back, and little white socks. The first ti I saw you I was trapped. This," he drew a little pattern on my stomach with one finger, "this is a bonus. Sure, I wasn’t expecting it for about five or six years, but still.... it’s a bonus," he said, grinning.
Could we really do that? He would stay here with ? "Would you really stay with
here and give up your scholarship?" I asked a little shocked. He worked so damn hard for that scholarship, it was such an aweso opportunity, and he would give it up for
and a baby?
He smiled. "Angel, if you want to get rid of the baby because you don’t want it, then I could understand, but don’t do this for . I want to stay here with you. If you weren’t pregnant I’d still be turning down the offer," he vowed, scooting closer to
on the bed, wrapping his arms around .
I buried my face into his chest and closed my eyes; I wanted to have kids with him one day too. I could see myself holding a little baby that had Liam’s blue eyes and ssy hair. Granted, when I pictured it I was a lot older than I am now, but I could still see it, and I liked it. Maybe we could make this work. The baby wouldn’t be short on love, and once people got over the shock of it, they’d understand. I had no doubt in my mind that Liam’s mom would help out too. And Jake, once he got over the initial anger of everything, he’d be a great Uncle.
Liam pulled away from
slightly. "I swear I’d be the best dad in the world," he promised.
I smiled; I didn’t doubt that for a second. I kissed his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. I loved him so much, more than anything. I knew we could make it work, a little family. He pulled out of the kiss to look at
with a hopeful expression on his face.
"OK," I agreed.
He grinned and kissed
again, moving so he was half on top of . I noticed he put none of his weight on my stomach, he was being super gentle. He kissed down my neck, getting lower and lower. He hitched my top and kissed all over my stomach before pulling up to smile at .
"I love you," he whispered.
I pulled him closer to . "I love you too, baby daddy," I teased, making him laugh.
He wrapped his arms around , laying close to my side. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat flying as I slipped one hand down my body, resting it on my tummy, rubbing my fingertips over it lightly.
