Alleys POV
I woke up with my hands subconsciously over my little baby bump. My phone beeped on the desk beside me:


Good Morning Dimples


Morning


How are you feeling today?


Good


I was smiling at these comments. Seconds later my phone started ringing.


"Hello?" I asked laughing that he had texted me first then rung.
"What are you doing today?"


"Nothing. Why?"


"Come down to the park"


"Ok see you soon"


"Cya, Dimples"


I quickly got up and got dressed. It was freezing outside so I put on jeans, a jumper, a scarf, gloves and a beanie. I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold.


There was barely anyone at the park, probably because of the weather. I walked around for a while but I couldn't find Charlie anywhere so I pulled out my phone to text him that's when I felt two freezing hands cover my eyes from behind.
"Guess who?" Came the ridiculous cover up of a voice.
"I don't know" I said sounding confused.
Charlie laughed and spun me around. He was rugged up but not to the extent I was.


"So why did you call me down here?" I asked politely
"I thought we should get to know each other more and maybe discuss..." He gestured towards my stomach.
"I guess we should" I thought that getting to know Charlie would benefit the both of us and talking about the baby would benefit him or her.
"Ok so do you want to walk?"


"Um... I'm sorry but could we sit. I've been really tired lately."


"Yes, yeah that's fine. Over here." He put his hand on the small of my back and ushered me to a wooden park bench under a big tree.
"So what did you want to know about me?" I asked after we were both sitting on the bench.
"Anything... Everything"


"Well, my dad died four years ago so mum and I moved here. I've never had a boyfriend. I suck at school and I'm going to be a teenage mother." I started crying again, relizing how bad my life has been and how it's just going to get worse.
He put his arm around me, not romantically.
"Don't cry, it's not so bad" he was trying to comfort me. He started rubbing my back and I rested my head on his strong shoulder. He then placed his head on top of mine. We sat like this for a while and I started shivering again. "Do you want to go home? You look freezing."


"Yeah, I'm really cold. I'm sorry"


"It's all good. I'll give you a lift"


"It's a five minute walk, it's fine."


"No I insist. Come on" he stood up and put his hand out to help me up, I must have been taking too long to take it because... "It's just a hand, Dimples." I held onto his hand as he lifted me up with minimal effort.

"Mum I'm home... And Charlie's here" we walked into the kitchen.


"Hey, I'm feeling a little light headed"


"Why don't you go and lay down and I will make you some tea to warm you up."


"Um...ok" I went to the living room and lied on the couch.


"Here" Charlie handed me the warm cup and sat on the couch and put my head in his lap. He then stoked my hair until I think I fell asleep.


When I woke up he was lying next to me with his arm draped protectively over my stomach. I rolled over so I could smell his cologne. I nuzzled my face into his warm chest.
"Enjoying yourself there" Charlie said with a sassy tone.
"Very much, thank you" I replied with equal sass.


Charlie's POV
Alley was lying next to me, looking adorable. I put a loose lock of hair behind her ear so I could see her face properly. I could see her bright green eyes and her shiny brown hair, I can also see the faint freckles that cover her little nose and pink cheeks. With a mother like Alley the baby, my baby, has to be amazing.


I'm getting excited about the baby in a oh-my-f*cking-god-what-have-I-done sort of way. I feel sorry for my Dimples because it's obvious she's pregnant where as no one could tell I was. Wait did I just say my Dimples, there is no way I can be falling for Alley.
