You Get Pregnant While He's On Tour - Luke Hemmings

Your stomach grumbled hungrily as you finished brushing your teeth. 'Time for breakfast' you told yourself wearily, still not fully awake. You got halfway to the kitchen before you felt your insides flip from hunger to sickness. You rushed back to the bathroom - just in time for you to throw up in the loo. Your throwing up lasted a few hours, after which you were absolutely exhausted and felt the familiar hunger you had experienced before your illness. You had been fine the night before, and the sickness had gone as soon as it had come.

You decided it was better not to eat just incase you were sick again, but you definitely needed to google your symptoms. After ten minutes checking every site, all of them had one thing in common.
They all thought it was morning sickness.
You had an app on your phone which kept track of your period, and your eyes widened as you realised you were almost two weeks late.
Rushing, you got ready to leave the house and ran to your local chemist.
When you returned home you had purchased five different pregnancy tests, all of different brands.
Ten minutes later you had taken all of the tests and were waiting impatiently for results from them. You gulped as you picked up the first one.
It was positive.
So was the next one.
All of the tests were positive with the exception of one, which, coincidentally, was the cheapest one. You exhaled deeply and tried to put your thoughts in order. You needed to tell Luke, your boyfriend. That was definitely the first thing on your to-do list. However, there was a slight dilemma. He was currently in America on tour - America was a 10 hour plane ride, but you knew this wasn't 'over the phone' news. On the other hand, you could definitely tell someone else over the phone - for example your best friend, Ashton.
He picked up on the fifth ring.
"[Y/N]? Do you have any idea how late it is over here?" He mumbled. You must've woken him up.
"Ashton, when do you guys get back to the UK?" You knew you sounded desperate, but you couldn't help it.
"[Y/N], are you okay?" Ashton immediately sounded more awake.
You attempted to swallow your nerves, but it was a seemingly impossible task.
"Ash... I really need to talk to Luke, but I have to do it in person." You spoke quickly, as you always did when you were nervous.
"[Y/N], what's wrong?" Ashton demanded.
"You can't tell Luke, promise?"
"Yes, I promise. Now tell me."
"Ashton, I'm pregnant."
He was silent for a while - for so long in fact that you felt the need to speak up again.
"Ashton? Please say something!"
Nothing.
Just as you were about to beg him to talk, he spoke.
"I'll pay for your plane ticket. I'll text you all the details as soon as I've booked it. You're getting on the next flight, babe." He said clearly, before hanging up so that you couldn't argue.
He stuck to his word, and even organised a car to take you to the airport later that day. You had no idea how long you would be staying for, so you just packed everything. You called your mum and told her you were helping Ashton to surprise Luke, which she bought easily. You couldn't tell her that you were pregnant. Not yet.
When you finally got to America Ashton was waiting at the airport for you. You were so tired you could barely raise your hand to wave to him. He hugged you tightly as soon as he saw you, whispering about how much he had missed you.
"I can't believe I'm gonna be an uncle," he grinned. You released a sigh of relief. You hadn't been able to tell whether he was okay with this whole thing, but now you could clearly see that he was excited.
"You'll make a great uncle, Ash." You smiled tiredly.
"Okay so you are staying in a room in our hotel tonight, but I haven't told Luke that you're coming yet. I figured you might want a bit of rest before you told him."
You smiled gratefully at Ashton as you waited for your bags. He had always understood you.
---
You settled into your bed only to have your peace interrupted by a loud knock at the door.
You opened the door wearily to find a wide eyed, concerned looking Ashton.
"Ash? What's up?" You asked, a sleepy smile forming over your lips. You knew why he was here.
"Well... Um... Well with you being pregnant and all, I wanted check that you're okay... Are you?" He stumbled over his words.
You were fine - from your calculations you were only a month in - there was very little bothering you presently. However, you could tell from the look in Ashton's eyes that he just wanted to look after you, so you opened the door further to allow him access. His smile broadened as he wandered into your room and placed himself on the bed.
"What can I do for you?" He grinned.
"I'm really tired Ash, so could you just tell me a story? Like just make one up for me?" Your sleepy voice came out as a whisper. He smiled gently and nodded to you as you climbed into the double bed. He laid across from you and began to tell you a story about a beautiful girl who got pregnant and had a beautiful child...

When you awoke you felt miles better that you had the previous day. Ashton was sleeping soundly next to you so you figured it better not to wake him, especially after he had done so much for you over the past couple of days.
You hopped in the shower and made yourself look good enough to see Luke, and when you were finally ready Ashton had woken up.
"Did you sleep alright, [Y/N]?" He asked you immediately. He was so caring.
"Yes thanks babe, did you?" You replied chirpily.
"I did. You seem happy!"
"I get to see Luke today. I started having withdrawal symptoms from him the second he left."
"Well then. I suppose we better get going. Can we stop by my room first so I can freshen up?"
"Course."

Half an hour later Ashton had arranged for Luke to come to his hotel room so he could 'show him something' (which was the lamest excuse ever but you couldn't come up with anything better.) Ashton waited by the door for Luke to arrive as you sat nervously on the bed. What if this whole thing really freaked him out? What if he wanted nothing to do with you or the baby? You tried to stop thinking while you waited, but it was useless.
The door clicked open and you heard Ashton greet Luke from around the corner.
"So, Luke, I kinda got you a surprise." Ashton told him, and seconds later he stood within touching distance of you, shock covering his face. His surprise didn't last long as before you were even aware what was happening you were in his arms, feeling properly safe for the first time in a month.
"Luke," you whispered, breathing in his scent. Luke refused to release you from the hug for ages - not that you were complaining. When he did pull back, his beautiful eyes fell on Ashton.
"Thank you, mate," he said gratefully, and you could really hear the thankfulness in his tone. You gulped with anticipation.
"I'm gonna leave you two alone now, you've got an awful lot to talk about." Ashton said - and with that he was gone.
"We have an awful lot to talk about? What's he on about?" Luke laughed unknowingly, but then his gaze fell back on you.
"[Y/N]? What's wrong? What's happened?" You knew he could see the nerves and worry in you face from the way his voice had switched from calm to panicked in a matter of seconds.
"I... I have something I need to tell you. P-please don't be mad at me. I love you." You half whispered, unable to look him in the eye.
"[Y/N]? What's happened?" He asked again.
"I-I'm really sorry, okay? Just please don't be mad." You said one final time, before returning your eyes to his frantic ones.
"Please tell me what's happened,"
"I... Oh god." You knew there was no point beating around the bush. You had to just come out and say it. "Luke, I'm pregnant."
His eyes widened noticeably and his jaw opened a fracture - and then he just froze like this.
"Luke?" You said, your hands shaking with nerves. He didn't move.
"Luke I really need you to say something."
He closed his mouth, but still said nothing. After a few agonisingly slow minutes, you were about to speak again, but he stopped you.
"I-it's mine?"
"Of course it's yours! You're my boyfriend- I'm not some slut who sleeps with every guy she can get her hands on you know!" You rushed, a little offended that he would even suggest that it wasn't his.
"Yeah, sorry, I'm not thinking straight." He apologised, as if reading your mind.
"So... What do you think?"
Five minutes passed and Luke had said nothing, but you knew he needed time to digest this information. In fairness, it was a lot to take in.
After what felt like forever, Luke finally answered your question, apart from, he didn't really. Not in words anyway. He gripped his arms around your waist, pulled you from the floor and spun you round giddily.
"I love you. And I love our new addition. Already." He whispered into your ear when he put you down.
