 “I still don’t understand why you are dating her Tombo” I said.

“Neither do I really honeypie” Tom sighed, placing his arm around me and then kissing my cheek.

“You make no sense” I laughed, leaning against him.

“I know I don’t babydoll. Whatcha got planned for the weekend?” Tom asked.

“Tomorrow Whisky is coming over and we’re going to watch some films and have yummy food and stuff and on Sunday I am going with you over to your parent’s house for dinner” I grinned. “What about you honey?” I asked.

“Sam wants to do something tomorrow seeing as I am leaving on Monday but I want an excuse to get out of it. Aww, of course I will stay in and watch films and eat yummy food with you and Will. And I’m going to my parents for dinner on Sunday?” Tom laughed.

“Carrie invited me and said that you were going” I said.

“I probably am meant to be babydoll. What do you want for dinner tonight?” Tom asked as he got off of my bed. “Something nice” I laughed.

“And what registers as nice in your word gorgeous?” Tom laughed.

“Well what do you want for dinner Tom?” I asked.

“I really fancy a Chinese” Tom laughed.

“Do it!” I grinned.

“Fine. And a film of some sort downstairs?” Tom asked.

“Upstairs and I am in” I laughed.

“Fine we can watch the film in MY cinema” Tom laughed.

“Well what’s the point of having a cinema room seeing as you watch most of your films downstairs?” I asked, eyebrows raised. “I have no idea. Right I am going to get changed and then we can order dinner. Meet you downstairs in 20” Tom said as he walked over to the door.

“20? Is it really going to take you 20 minutes to get changed?” I laughed.

“It will take me two minutes to get changed and 18 to explain to Sam that I am not available to see her tomorrow” Tom grinned before he left the room. I laughed.

I walked downstairs 20 minutes later and found Tom sat on the sofa, staring at the blank TV. “What’s up sugarplum?” I asked.

“Oh. Hey” Tom muttered. I went over and knelt down in front of him, taking hold of his hands.

“Tom, your scaring me” I whispered. Tom smiled softly before falling back against the sofa. I stood up and sat down on his lap. Tom placed his arms around my waist before pulling me close against him. “I phoned Sam to tell her that I can’t meet up tomorrow and she told me that she had just taken a pregnancy test…” Tom whispered. I placed my arms around Tom’s neck and held him close. “Oh sweetie” I whispered.

“It came back positive. She wants me to go with her to the doctors tomorrow” Tom added.

“Oh Tom. How did you react?” I asked.

“I lied and said that I was surprised but delighted and that of course I would go with her to the doctors” Tom replied.

“How do you really feel?” I asked.

“That I am too young to be a father. That Sam and I have only been going out for less than three months. That I don’t want my first child to be with her. I am not delighted, I am terrified” Tom muttered. I hugged him tighter. “I am sorry” He whispered, now crying.
