''No , i think you should call him now.'' Sophia smirked

''What?'' i think i choked on my ice tea.

''Go on.'' Sophia said sliding my phone to me , looking down Calum's name flashed up on my screen and i swallowed hard picking the phone up and placing it to my ear.

''Hello?...Becky?... Rebecca?... Hello?''

I grabbed the phone placing it on my ear ''Becky? Are you there?...no okay i'm gonna hang u-''

''No!.. i'm here uh..hi''

''Hello.'' he chuckled , his laugh putting a smile on my face.

''Listen we need to talk.'' i sighed

''What about?''

''You know what Calum.''

''Look i've gotta go i'm busy at the st-''

''Youre always busy Calum.'' i sighed standing up and excusing myself from the table

''Baby listen i go-''

''I know you wasn't at the studio last night.''

''What? Yes i wa-''

''I asked Luke. Why did you lie?''

''I..''

''Look if you don't want this baby then fine! But i don't want to lose you over this.'' i sniffled wiping the tears falling down my face.

''I didn't say that. Don't put words into my mouth Rebecca''

''Then what?! Calum this wasn't just my fault!'' i cried out

''I.. I can't speak about this right now.''

''Fine.'' i yelled and hung up.

I walked back into Starbucks and faked my smile to the girls , picking up my bag and drink.

''I think i'm gonna head home , i'm feeling a bit tired.'' i chuckled lightly

''All sorted?'' Emily asked

''Um, Yeah'' i smiled

''I'll walk with you home.'' Sasha offered

''No! It's fine i'd rather walk on my own if you don't mind.''

''Okay...be careful and call us if there's a problem''Sophia said referring to the paparazzi

''Yeah i will , thanks. Bye'' i said giving each of them a hug and a kiss on the head for Daniel and Kimberly.

''Bye..'' the girls chorused back before laughing.

I placed my cup into the bin and walked out of starbucks towards the doctors. Once i got there and stepped into the building i walked up to the receptionist who had a smile on her face.

''Hello , welcome to bluewater clinic , how may i help you?'' she asked polietly

''Um , is Dr Owen , Available to talk?'' i asked

''I'm afraid she's booked up this afternoon ...''

''Oh , not even for a 5 minute chat.''

''No i'm af-''

''Send her in Anne , My next patient can wait 5 minutes.'' Dr Owen's said walking out of her office , Anne the receptionist nodded and let me past. I walked into her office and sat down on one of the chairs herself sitting down behind her desk.

''How can i help you today Mrs Hood?''

''Rebecca.. Call me Rebecca.'' i said

''... Rebecca How can i help?'' she corrected herself

''I wanted to know more about my options... about the different methods of abortion, and which method is suitable for my stage of pregnancy. and about any related risks and complications''. i said.

''Well , Rebecca have you though-''

''I just want to know thats all.'' i said

''Alright ... well There are a number of different methods of abortion. The method recommended for you will depend on how many weeks pregnant you are. In your case it would be the Early medical abortion which involves taking two different medicines 48 hours apart. The effect of the medication will be similar to an early natural miscarriage. You will have two more appointments here on different days. On your first visit you will be given an abortion pill called mifepristone, which blocks the hormone that makes the lining of the womb suitable for the fertilized egg. After taking the first pill, you will be able to go home and continue your normal everyday activities.''

''The risks?... their is risks right?''

'' A few women will have mild cramps and a little bleeding, but most will not. If you have heavier bleeding or significant pain, you should contact the hospital or clinic.Two days later, on your second visit to the hospital or clinic, you will be given the second medicine, prostaglandin. Within 4-6 hours of taking prostaglandin, your womb lining will break down and be lost, along with the embryo, through bleeding. This part of the process can be painful, but you can take a painkiller to ease the pain... If you did want to have an abortion later on in your pregnancy your able to have one up until 20-24 weeks after that there is no going back. Rebecca i know you're young but i really think you need to think about this before you choose this option.''

''Okay , i just wanted to know i .. When's the scan?'' i asked , she typed a few things on her laptop

''This saturday at 10am , it would be good to bring someone with you.'' she said

''Cal-..''

''I heard , he's on tour. What does he make of this?''

''He... he wont talk to me about it. I kinda told him last minute and whenever i bring it up he ignores me or makes an excuse to not talk about it. That's why im considering the abortion.''

''Well i think you should talk further with him about it. Make him listen before you do anything else'' she said i nodded and stood up.

''Thank you Dr. Owens''

''My pleasure , tell your mum i said hi.'' she smiled and lead me out of her office.

''I will , Bye.'' i waved and exited the building where a few paparazzi were standing

''REBECCA , REBECCA !! WHAT HAPPEND?''

''WHY ARE YOU IN THE DOCTORS AGAIN?''

'WASN'T YOU HERE YESTERDAY... REBECCA ARE YOU UNWELL??''

''ARE YOU PREGNANT?''

''OH MY GOD SHES PREGNANT ISN'T SHE?''

''REBECCA IS IT A BOY OR GIRL?''

''HEY REBECCA DOES CALUM KNOW? ''

''IS IT CALUM'S BABY?''

'''REBECCA ARE YOU DYING?''

I ignored them and took out my phone out figuring out who i can call to pick me up.

''Hey Rebecca!'' a familiar name called , i turned around and saw Calums Sister Mali waving at me to come over. I nodded and pushed past the paparazzi over to her.

''Get in i'll give you a ride home.'' she smiled , i nodded and thanked her getting in the passenger seat.

Mali flipped off the paparazzi and pressed the horn nearly running two of them over and cursing out the window. I chuckled lightly at her and she gave me a small smile and began driving out of the car park and down the main road. Mali's daughter Charlotte who was 4 sat at the back of the car singing along to the songs that came on the radio.

''So how come you were at the hospital?'' i asked Mali

''Charlotte was just having a check up , she got her tonsil's out a few weeks ago.''

''I didn't know that , Aw is she alright now?''

''Yeah fine , she was fine with it actually because she got to eat so much ice cream after.'' Mali laughed and i laughed with her.

''How come you were there? Not pregnant are you?'' She joked and let out a small chuckle , i swallowed hard and bit my lip looking out the window. Mali Gasps and through her hands in the way making the car swerve slightly her hands slamming back down to control the car.

''Sorry... but Oh my god!'' she squealed excitedly

''Don't tell anyone , only Calum the girls and you know.'' i sighed

''You don't seem to happy.'' her focus on the road.

''Yeah Calum's not really keen on the idea i dont think , ''

''Dont think?''

''Well every time i bring it up he makes an excuse to go off the phone'' i sigh

''I'm sure he'll come around , he loves kids. He's so great with them he's probably just taking it all in''

''I'm not sure i was... i was at the hospital today discussing about my options.''

''You're not thinking about an abortion are you?'' she asked looking over at me as we stopped at a red light.

''I...I just wanted to know.''

''Rebecca no you can't' talk to Calum first!''

''He don't want to talk though.''

''Well make him!.'' she said.

The rest of the car ride Mali told me about giving birth and holding your baby for the first time , changing diaper hearing their first words and watch them take their first steps. How it feels to be a mother and all the responsibilities you have and how you feel the first few weeks and stuff like that. Mali stopped outside my apartment building she gave me a smile and a hug.

''Speak to him okay?''

''Okay.'' i offered her in for some coffee but she declined , i opened the door and got out waving and walking up to my apartment. Once i got in i slammed the door , dropped my bag slipped my shoes off and headed for the bathroom.

****

After my shower i changed into clean underwear , grey leggings a baggy arctic monkeys t-shirt and tied my hair in a messy bun. I slipped into my slippers and walked into the kitchen to get dinner ready. There was a knock on the door so i opened it and it was Ella she was a 10 year old girl who lived across from me she offered to walk Promise so i let her.

''All done..'' she smiled handing Promise over to me , i placed him down and let him run down the hallway.

''Thank you Ella.'' i smiled handing her ten dollars , she smiled back thanking me and skipping across to her apartment.

I closed the door and went back into the kitchen i placed Promise's dinner down and some water and whistled. Promise came running through yapping and digging into his dinner. Once i successfully cooked my chicken without burning it i served it up with some pasta and ate it. It felt very lonely sitting in the kitchen eating alone , very quiet. Once i finished and cleaned up i walked back into the bedroom and grabbed my phone off the nightstand.

I was surprised when i picked up the phone to reveal ten missed calls from Calum and more than eleven text messages. I opened up the text messages first and figured i'll call him after. Each text message 1 minute or less apart.

''Rebecca answer the phone.''-Cal :) x'

''Rebecca this is serious!'-Cal :) x''

''Don't ignore me. :(''-Cal :) x'

''Please baby i'm so sorry.''-Cal :) x'

''Becky don't do anything stupid l love you call me now'-Cal :) x''

''Look Becky Mali told me why you was at the hospital i need to speak to you.'-Cal :) x''

''Why wont you pick up you're scaring me!.'-Cal :) x''

''Becky please. I'm so sorry for everything call me please answer please!!''-Cal :) x'

''Rebecca seriously stop playing games and call me back for fuck sake !!'-Cal :) x'

What did he mean Mali tol... oh. Why would she tell him? Fantastic fucking fantastic. My phone vibrated again and it was a text from Ashton.

''Rebecca please call Calum he's going mental He needs to speak to you. I dont know what he's done to upset you but please answer his calls and work this out sis..-Ash ;D''

''It's nothing don't worry , i was in the shower tell him i'll skype him now.'' i sent to him

''Okay - Ash :D''

I climbed on the bed and reached down to pick up the laptop and place it on my lap , i logged on and clicked on the skype app , once i logged in immediately Calum began calling me. I reached for the lamp and turn't it on and accepted the call.

Promise jumped up on the bed next to me interested on what was going on. The call connected to reveal a red eyed Calum in a grey beanie , and a black t-shirt. It had been obvious he hand been crying.

''Rebecca.'' he sighed in relief , his voice all cracked.

''C-C-Calum have you been crying?'' i choked up

''I was worried about you..'' he sniffled pulling his t-shirt down.

''Calum i'm fine.''

''What Mali told me... about you thinking about abortion. Was it... was it cause of me?'' he asked , i bit my lip and nodded slowly a sob escaping my mouth.

''I'm so sorry baby, i didn't mean to make you feel like i didn't want this baby. ''

''Well do you?'' i whispered not trusting my voice to actually speak up

''Yes. Of course i do princess, thats if you do? Whatever you want its your body i'll support you no matter what.''

''I... I don't know if i can... if we can do this. We're so young and your on tour and ...'' another sob leaving my mouth

''Baby i love you we can get through this together , i can cancel to-''

''NO! thats the last thing i want.'' i sighed

''What are we going to do then?''

''I dont know.''

''Well think about it , i'll support whatever you choose and you have until what? 15 weeks to choose?''

''18 weeks...''

''How many weeks are you?'' he asked

''Three..''

'' I'm so sorry for this its my fault i should of remembered the co-''

''It's my fault too , i should of remembered to take the pills.''

''We're so stupid.'' Calum smiled looking down at the floor

''Yeah we are.'' i chuckled.

''What time is it there?'' he asked

''Ten o'clock'' i said looking over at the clock

''What about you?'' i asked

''Two in the afternoon.You tired?'' he asked and i nodded letting out a yawn and chuckling.

''Go to sleep beautiful... i'll talk to you tomorrow ''

''I don't want to leave you.'' i pouted

''I'll wait for you to sleep then'' he smiled , Promise jumped up on my lap making me groan and he started barking at the screen.

''Hey buddy.'' Calum cooed

''He misses you.'' i said

''I miss you tooo , Look after Becky for me.'' he said , Promise barked again. I shushed him in case he woke up the neighbours and he jumped down curling up on the end of the bed. I chuckled and laid back down into bed putting the laptop on the nightstand facing me.

''Sing to me please.'' i asked

''Mhm.''

''Because if you wanna take me home , you know i'm ready to leave'' he sang softly i closed my eyes listening to his beautiful voice singing me to sleep. It almost felt as if he was there with me.

''You've got me under your spell ,Please don't set me free'' he carried on singing until i eventually fell asleep the last thing i heard was his whisper.

''Goodnight beautiful''
