Honey // A.I (completed)

As I woke up this morning, Ashton was all cuddled up against me. His head was on my chest and his arms were tightly around my waist. Having him cuddled against me was keeping me warm from this freezing room since he's practically a space heater.

I moved one of my arms and began running my fingers through his hair. His hair has grown a ton since tour and seems like it just keeps getting curlier.

My fingers hit one spot that was tangled, causing him to stir and his eyes to flutter open,

"Good morning" I whispered, placing a kiss on his forehead. He smiled sleepily before cuddling closer,

"Morning honey" his voice rasped as he tilted his chin and kissed my jaw.

We laid there for a bit longer until I felt my stomach spinning. I knew I needed to get up,

"Baby, I need to go to the bathroom," I told him. He was hesitant but nodded, letting go of me. I quickly got up and went into the bathroom, closing the door and making it to the toilet just in time to empty my stomach.

Once I was okay, I brushed my teeth and headed back to bed where Ashton was scrolling through his phone. As soon as he saw me, he put his phone to the side and sat up,

"We have to be out of the room by 11:00. The boys are going to that rooftop show they're doing. You and I gotta go to the venue" he yawned. I nodded and crawled back into bed, sitting on his lap.

"You feeling okay? Like you're going to be okay to do a show tonight?" I asked, worried about him,

"I feel a lot better. Three days in over 100 degree weather probably did me in. But I'll be okay. I promise"

I nodded and let my head rest against his shoulder,

"Are you okay?" Ashton asked me, "I know you threw up in there"

I sighed and sat back to look at him,

"I'm fine. Something must not be settling right with my stomach"

He nodded and pressed a kiss to my lips,

"You'd tell me if something was wrong right?" he asked,

"Of course I would Ash. Nothing is wrong"

The boys and Grace joined Ashton and me at the venue after they did their radio show set. Grace was with me while the boys headed out on stage to see the setup and discuss some possible set changes. We sat in the back room, planning on staying put since it was about to thunderstorm,

"So, Ash is suspicious I think" I spoke up,

"What? How?" Grace's eyes went wide,

"This morning I threw up again. I had lied and told him I had to pee but he knew I had thrown up" I shrugged,

"Is he suspicious or worried?" Grace questioned,

"I guess both" I sighed, "I just can't wait to tell him. It's so hard keeping it quiet when I just want him to know"

"Well tonight he will" she smiled, going silent as the boys walked in. Ashton walked right to me and laid on the couch with his head in my lap. My hand went right to his hair, running through his curls causing his eyes to flutter shut,

"We're delayed because of lightning" Luke sighed and plopped down in a chair.

The boys spent the next two hours relaxing, which they needed. Ashton had fallen asleep in my lap and had light snores passing his lips. But once the storm cleared up, the show was on.

Grace and I stood off the side where we were able to see our boys. I caught myself watching Ashton carefully, making sure he was okay. I felt better knowing he has been resting and now has a fan blowing directly on him.

He kept glancing at me and would smile. I gave him a little wave, making him chuckle and blow a kiss,

"You two are so cute it makes me want to puke" Grace nudged my arm,

"Whatever. Have you not seen you and Cal" I laughed, "Speaking of, any more suspicion on a proposal?"

"No. He's stopped dropping hints so I'm not sure" she shrugged.

****

As soon as the show ended, Grace and I ran to the bus. I grabbed the stuff from my bag and set it up in Ashton's bunk then went into the front area to wait.

The door opened and all the boys filed in, laying around,

"I'm going to plug my phone in" Ashton leaned down and kissed my lips before disappearing to the bunks. Grace grinned at me, gaining the guys' attention,

"What did you all do?" Michael questioned,

"You'll see" I smiled, waiting for my husband.

About a minute later, Ashton walked back out with the onesie and ultrasound photos in his hand with tears streaming down his face,

"You're pregnant?" he smiled. I nodded, feeling myself tear up as I stood,

"Oh my god" he beamed, hugging me tight and kissing my lips, "I'm gonna be a dad"

"You're gonna be a dad baby" I laughed, running a hand through his hair, "That's why I've been puking"

Ashton chuckled and looked at the ultrasound again,

"I'm six weeks," I told him. He looked up and just smiled. He sat the onesie and photos aside and his hands found my stomach. He simply couldn't stop crying. I laughed a little and wiped under his eyes,

"I love you" I whispered,

"I love you too. So much" he smiled.

We finally turned to everyone else. Grace was just smiling and all the boys were shocked,

"Congrats you two" Luke stood first, hugging us both followed by the others,

"You all will be amazing parents" Michael smiled,

"I say if it's a boy you name him Calum" Calum spoke making Grace hit him, "But seriously, I'm happy for you all"

"Thanks guys" Ashton smiled, not daring to let go of me. I smiled and hugged Ashton's side,

"Can we go off alone?" Ashton whispered. I nodded and followed him to his bunk where we both lay,

"How are you feeling baby? You can be honest" I told him as I laid on his chest,

"I'm so happy Holls" he grinned, "A little worried because of tour but I'm so fucking happy"

"We're going to be just fine. Tour will be over and we will be home when the baby comes" I assured him,

"I'm so excited" Ashton whispered, "I can't wait to parent with you. I'll be with you every step fo the way"

"I love you baby daddy" I laughed,

"I love you more baby momma"
