"Yeah so what did you want to talk about?" He asked you as he collapsed onto the couch and took a deep breath. Your boyfriend had just come back from an interview with the local paper on his upcoming film 'Glass'.

"H-How was your interview?" You walked over to him and rubbed your hands together. James tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Is that all love? I'm sure you wanted to talk about something," He said and frowned.

"It's nothing I... I, um... j-just-" You clenched your jaw and hastened towards your washroom all of a sudden, feeling the sudden urge to throw up.

You bent over the sink after slamming the door shut and grabbed the sides tightly till your knuckles turned white. You felt the sickly feeling rise and-

Stop.

It washed away all of a sudden and you took a deep breath. Your washed your face and-

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"[y/n]? What's wrong?" James asked with concern and you shut your eyes.

"N-Nothing I'm... I felt dizzy and I thought I was going to uh, f-faint," You explained shakily but he started messing with the door handle.

"Open the door."

"I'm fine-"

"Open the door [y/n], I want to make sure you're okay," He explained with slight annoyance and you rolled your eyes.

You opened the door and stared at him flatly. "I'm fine James, happy now?" You snapped and he raised a brow in surprise.

"I'm... sorry love, I just-You ran all of a sudden and I-"

You wrapped your arms around his neck lightly and hugged him. You kissed his cheek then moved away, "I'm alright baby, seriosuly."

He nodded his head then walked out, after asking about dinner. You told him that you have these coupons for a Chinese place just around the corner, and that he should order something for takeout.

You sighed then thought about the entire situation you're in right now. You found out you were pregnant with James' child three months ago and it's been horrible for you, mentally since you haven't told him yet and he hasn't got the faintest clue of it.

You've been dating him for three years and everything is running so smoothly with you all that you felt as if a new baby would spoil it. What's more is that you're not even sure if he's want another child. He already has a lovely son from his previous marriage, whom he loves to bits.

You feel like he doesn't sport the idea of another child, and anyways on top of that he hasn't married again. You have no idea how he would react.

And so... You decided that you wouldn't tell him... until you finalised a 'safe' way of announcing it.

*****

You've been extremely sick for the past week and your emotional state is making it worse. It's so bad that James suggested that he doesn't go for one of the film's premieres.

He was out right now, promoting his film to a set of keen reporters, photographers and videographers. You wanted to go with him but you just... couldn't. Your body wouldn't allow-

KNOCK! KNOCK!

You turned to the door from your seat on the couch in horror, wondering who could be at it at this time. It couldn't be James, he said he'd be home late.

Keys scratched the door lock and a couple clicks later the door swung open. "Hello [y/n]!" He smiled brightly and you stared at him.

"Wh-What are you doing here?"

He laughed as he took his blazer off, "I live here, love."

"Y-Yeah I mean... Didn't you have some after screening event?" You asked and he nodded his head as he walked over to you.

"Well I was concerned for you and I had to come home to keep an eye on you," He said and kissed your head, "Night wanted me to tell you to 'chillax and get well soon!'."

You smiled slightly then grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the couch before he could walk away.

"Wow you did miss me," He chuckled then jumped to the seat side of the couch, "What did you do while-"

"I'm pregnant J-James,"  You blurted out and stared at him with dread. All he did was stare back at you, reacting with no significant expression.

He scoffed, "N-No you're not."

"Yes I am James."

"No... H-H-How?"

"What do you mean 'how'?!" You started to freak out internally and you got up. You stormed towards him and stood right to his face.

"I mean h-how would you-"

You grabbed his hand and placed it on your stomach. You pressed it and you noticed the change on his face from disbelief to a hint of happiness and surprise... but then it turned to horror and anger.

"No no no no no," He snatched his hand anyway and shook his head, "Y-You can't-We didn't... plan this!"

"Well stuff happens James and now we have to live with it-"

"I can't. I can't do this, I already have a kid," He shrugged his shoulder, "When?"

You felt tears form in your eyes and you looked away from him, crossing your arms, "Three months."

"You didn't tell me for three months?!"

"HEY I know that you could react like this. What was I supposed to do? I can't get rid of it, it's a living... baby," You felt a panic attack coming on but he didn't stop arguing.

"It's just th-that I'm old [y/n]... I'm old and I can't have another child, not at this age!" He rubbed his face, feeling jittery, "And y-you're almost thirty. I'm not even supposed to be with you-"

"So you're insecure about your age?!" You raised an eyebrow then sighed, "Do you love me?"

"Yes, of course I do [y/n], so much."

"Isn't that the important thing? Age didn't matter to you when you asked me out!"

"Yeah but I didn't realise you'd get pregnant!" He breathed out strongly then looked to the floor. There was a long moment of silence between the two of you.

"Can we talk about this tomorrow? I need to... take it all in," He said tiredly and you nodded your head slowly.

*****

2 weeks later...

Your life took an optimistic turn, He accepted his reality now and you were beyond thankful.

The next morning after the fight, he took back everything he said and he apologised for his attitude. You haven't felt that calm ever since you found out about the baby. He even said that he was actually surprised with the excitement but negativity caused him to fall out.

Currently you were holding onto Brendan, James' son, by the hand while you walked down the carpet. There were cameras and interviewers all around, taking pictures and shouting out questions and compliments.

"Brendan, what do you-"

"DADDY!" He yelled in excitement then ran towards his father who was posing for pictures. He gasped loudly in playful anger then picked him up and placed him on his hip.

"Smile for the cameras son!" He whispered then pointed up ahead, giving him a cheeky grin.

You crept up to them and James slithered a hand around your waist and kissing your temple. You smiled brightly and Brendan looked at you with fascination.

"Are you feeling better?" Your boyfriend asked you and you nodded your head. You looked around, but the flashes started to make you nauseous.

You clenched your jaw then moved away from James, "I-I'm going to sit down somewhere baby."

He watched you walk away with concern, while you took his son with you too. James then walked over to one of the interviewers and started answering questions.

"So James, tell us about [y/n]! Is that a baby bump we see?" A woman asked with excitement and James smiled shyly.

"Y-Yes it is, she's almost four months in," He told.

"What was your son's reaction?"

"Oh we haven't told him yet, about his little baby brother or sister."

"Well congratulations on the news, you must be so happy!"

"Yes... I was shocked at first when she told me but I'm super happy and looking forward to it."
