Chapter 115

Alex’s POV

“Alex… I’m…” Lottie trails off, unsure of how to word whatever it was that she had to say

She looks troubled? Worried about something as she fidgets and plays with the bobble tied around her thin wrist anxiously.

What’s gotten into her? Is this the same thing that could’ve upset her at the mall earlier today? The thing that the guys wanted to call and tell me

about?

I made a point of getting to the bottom of whatever it was that could’ve upset her, however didn’t get the chance with everything kicking off at my

office afterwards!

As she looks into my eyes, deep in thought, my heart races with worry.

“Lottie, doll, just say it? Whatever it is, we can deal with it! Has there been more letters from Tommy or something else? What’s been bothering you?” 1 push her for more, growing impatient and concerned as to what this could be.

I know she’s had a tough day after what happened at the office, but this was clearly something else that’s been playing heavily on her mind… I have to know!

“Lottle, please tell me,” I urge further, trying to keep my voice steady despite the rising panic growing within me. I can see the turmoil in her eyes, and I’m desperate to understand what’s causing her so much distress.

y of that stuff… this is different. Her voice comes barely above a whisper as 1 squint at her questioningly.

“It’s not the letters….. or anything related to any

What else could she be freaking out about? What could be so different?!

“Then what doll? Why won’t you just tell me?” I push her on, as she chews her lip in thought.

I wait, giving her a moment to breathe, hoping that she will come to her senses on her own. What does she think I’m going to do? Get mad? Leave her? I don’t understand! Why won’t she just say?!

She takes a deep breath, her fingers tightening around the bobble on her wrist now… “Alex, my period is two weeks late,” She finally confesses, her voice trembling as I listen to her words intently. And… I took a pregnancy test today with Anna, at the mall, thats why we were in the bathroom for so long!” Lottie avoids my eye, speaking out as she stares down at the flour.

Wait…

Alex, it was positive – I’m pregnant.” Lottie confirms, her eyes teary as she lifts her head to see my reaction.

Her words hit me like a ton of bricks, and for a moment, I can’t process the information she is giving me.

She just told me that she’s pregnant? Is she really pregnant? She’s known since the mall, and because of everything else that happened after that, she wasn’t even able to tell me!

If I ever see Sofia again, I’ll strangle her to death for this!

This must be what Anna meant when she said there was more to worry about and that we had to find Lottie fast!

My mind races as 1 try to wrap my head around the unexpected news. My palms grow sweaty, as my eyes shift around the room, shocked and in total disbelief

Minutes pass, but it feels like an eternity. I blink, struggling to find my

ty words, as my mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water again.

Lottie’s expression slowly turns into one of hurt and sadness, as I watch her carefully–my eyes wide with panic.

“Alex, say something, please, anything? Lottie suddenly pleads, her voice breaking into a cry. “I know it’s unexpected, but I need to know how you feel about this too. I didn’t want to tell you, because I was terrified that this was how you would react!” Lottie sniffles, looking both ashamed and disappointed

Finally, from seeing her growing upset, the shock starts to wear off, and I gather my thoughts immediately.

I stand from my spot on the bed, take her hands in mine, pulling her up to her feet before bringing her closer to me.

“Lottic, I… I never imagined this to happen so soon, but that doesn’t change how I feel about you,” I state, my voice filled with emotion as my mouth falls suddenly dry.

to her tired eyes as she studies my features briefly.

“I love you, and 1 want to be with you no matter what happens…” I confirm with a nod, staring into

“Are we too young Alex? Lottie breathes out quietly, almost looking for my approval as her eyes search my own.

I smile slightly next, shaking my head at her. “Nah fuck that! We will he young, cool parents! Besides, it’s not as though we can’t afford one right?” I shrug, attempting to shift the mood – knowing that this was a lot for her to tackle on her own.

She looks up at me, searching my eyes for any sign of rejection. “Really? So you’re not upset? You want to have the baby?” She asks, her voice still laced with uncertainty.

I brush a strand of loose hair away from her face, my heart aching at the fear in her eyes. “I wont lie and say that I’m not shocked, but that doesn’t mean I’m upset about it. I want whatever you want doll! I assure her. “We’re in this together, Lottie, it takes two to tangle doesn’t it? Well just have to figure it out, step by step, together.

With that, she buries her face in to my chest, as I hold her to me. I was so scared that you’d reject me or something, I don’t know? I didn’t want to even tell you either with there being so much bad stuff going on in our lives at the minute. Lottie admits, her voice muffled against my shirt as I rub comforting circles on her back.

I hold her closer, if at all possible, gently rocking her back and forth as we stand together. “I could never reject you, Lottie. You’re the love of my life, we were bound to have kids at one point or

another anyhow right?” I say, my voice tender and sincere, as she giggles slightly at my words.

It was true… it would no doubt happen eventually? Sure its way so protection.

As the initial shock starts to fade, a sense of excitement and responsibility washes over me. Becoming parents is a huge step, but with recently building our dream home, and with Lottie by my side again, I feel ready to take on anything even if that meant a baby.

want to be there for you, Lottie, every step of the way.” I say firmly, cupping her face and lifting it to meet my gaze. “We’ll face this together, just like we’ve faced everything else.”

A small smile tugs at the corners of her lips, and she nods, her eyes shining with gratitude. “I love you, Alex, I’m glad you found me in this hotel tonight now.” She whispers, ber voice filled with hope.

“I love you too, Lattic, and Ell always find you. You’re mine forever now doll, like it or lump it!” I reply, pressing my lips gently against hers

In that moment, I feel a rush of love and tenderness for this incredible woman standing in my arms

Nineteen wasn’t the worst age to become a father. Hell, how many damn nineteen year old successful businessman are there out there too? If anybody can tackle becoming a Dad, it’s me!

As we hold each other, a new sense of purpose fills the room. We may not have expected this, but we have each other, and that’s all that matters. I’m in this shit just as much as she is now

“So Anna knows? Anyone else? I question, knowing myself that it was silly to even ask.

“Just Anna.” She confirms, as I nod, holding her face in my hands as 1 brush my thumbs across her soft cheek bones.

“Let’s just stay here tonight… Il call and tell the others to get a room too since its late. I confirm, checking my watch to see that it was almost midnight

Lottie nods, sighing, as I pull away from our embrace – going to pull the bed covers back in order for her to climb under,

She gets under knowingly, before I remember about her snacks…

I chuckle slightly, walking to grab the tray, before bringing it back towards her as she grins. She bucks into the nachos, flicking through the Netflix that

“Everything’s good Anna, it’s getting late so it’s best if we all crash here tonight, Grab a room and we can meet in the morning for breakfast?” I announce, informing her of the plan.

“Im so happy to hear that you guys have made up! Did she uh… happen to mention anything else at all?” Anna asks suspiciously, as I smile, now knowing what all the worry and stress was about.

“Yeah she did. I know now Anna. We can tell Del and face tomorrow – everything will be ok.” I inform her, hearing a clear sigh on her end next.

“Great! I’ll see you both in the morning then! Give her a hug from me!” Anna chimes, sounding more relaxed as compared to before.

With that, I end the call, turning to see Lottie as she offers me a smile – continuing to eat away at the nachos. The worry and fear that had consumed us both seems to fade away with each passing second, replaced by new hope and determination.
