Chapter 69: The Beginning of Parenthood
I kissed Liam’s chest. How the hell could such an adorable, gorgeous, sweet, kind, funny, talented and responsible boy, want ? How could he love
as much as I can see he does? I couldn’t help but smile. Laying in Liam’s arms, I actually felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I got to have a baby with the man I love.
After a couple of hours I was discharged. Apparently, Liam was to wake
up every hour to make sure I didn’t have concussion or anything. We’d agreed not to tell anyone about the baby yet. It was so early and we were only just getting our heads around it - we didn’t need any interference from anyone else.
"Shall we call a cab or sothing?" I asked as Liam walked
out of the hospital, holding
tightly to his side.
He grinned. He’d been doing that a lot for the last couple of hours; I actually think he was really excited about being a dad which I had never seen on an eighteen year old before.
"No. Jake left us his car. He went ho with Johnny and gave
his keys," he explained, guiding
to the parking lot. He helped
into the car, even putting on my seatbelt for . His hand lingered over my stomach as he pulled it away.
My head was pounding; the painkillers they gave
were starting to wear off. I rested my head back against the headrest and closed my eyes. It was going to be hard lying to Jake. I hated lying and was actually really terrible at it, but it needed to be done for a few weeks. We just needed to let the whole abusive father thing settle down first, that would give us a chance to sort out everything in our own heads. I still had the money from the bet, I hadn’t spent any of it yet so that would help with all of the things we needed to buy for having a baby.
When we pulled up at my house, I didn’t even get out of the car before Jake attacked
into a hug. "Shit, you scared the hell out of everyone, Amber!" he scolded.
I smiled and hugged him back. "Sorry, Jake. I didn’t exactly plan to pass out in front of everyone and bang my head, did I?" I replied sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. Why the hell is he mad at
for getting sick?
He sighed and pulled back. "So, what did they say? Why did you pass out in the first place?" he asked, looking concerned.
Oh crap, what do I say?
"Stress apparently. That, and she hadn’t eaten all day," Liam interjected, coming round to my side. I silently thanked God that Liam was better liar than I was.
Jake looked at , clearly annoyed again. "Why the hell didn’t you eat all day?" he asked accusingly.
I smiled and let Liam lead
in to the house. "Let’s just get her in and let her sit down, Jake, then you can shout at her all you like," Liam suggested, shaking his head with a small smile.
Jake followed us in and sat next to
on the sofa, Johnny and Ruby ca and sat down too. Everyone was looking at
worriedly. "Stop worrying, guys. It was lack of food, apparently. Sugar low or sothing. I’m fine now, honestly," I assured them, nodding, trying not to look too guilty. I just hoped that Jake didn’t go too crazy when he found out, and that he didn’t beat the crap out of Liam or sothing. Maybe I would tell him on my own, calm him down a little before he saw Liam.
"The bang to her head needed stitches. I need to wake her up every hour to make sure she’s OK, so I’ll be staying over tonight," Liam stated, more for Ruby’s benefit than anyone else’s, Jake already knew he’d be there anyway.
I yawned. It was almost nine now and I just wanted to go to bed, it had been a long stressful day. "I’m going to bed, guys. Oh, and Ruby, it really is nice to et you again. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk to you properly earlier," I said, smiling apologetically.
She chuckled slightly. "We’ll talk tomorrow, honey, don’t worry. If you need anything in the night then let
know. Jake said I could sleep in your mom’s room, just so you know where I am, alright?" she asked kindly.
Wow, she really is nice!
"OK. G’night, guys. And you, lover boy, go get your stuff if you’re staying here," I instructed, smiling at Liam.
He stood up quickly. "OK. I’ll be back in a bit then." He kissed my forehead gently before heading for the front door to tell his parents he was ’officially’ staying over.
I went to my bedroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was a ss, I had a plaster thing stuck behind my ear over the stitches, I looked tired but I couldn’t help but smile. I didn’t bother with pyjamas as I slipped into the bed; I wanted to feel Liam’s skin against mine. After about fifteen minutes he ca in, looking so handso that it made
want to cry. I rubbed my hand over my stomach lightly under the sheets. I hoped I had a little boy in there, and he would be just like his daddy.
Liam stripped down to his boxers and climbed in the bed with . He gasped suddenly and pulled back to look at . "Are you naked?" he asked, a little shocked.
I smiled. "Yep. I thought you should make the most of
before I get all fat and ugly," I teased.
He grinned and rolled on top of , hovering above , barely touching . "Angel, you will never be ugly," he whispered, looking at
adoringly. "And the bigger you get, just ans I have more of you to love," he added, slipping his hand down to my stomach. I smiled as I pulled his mouth down to mine.
