"You slept with Jack?" Fuck

"We were drunk. Neither of us knew what we were doing" I try to defend myself

"The same night you kissed Jonah, you slept with Jack!" Daniel shouts

"Wow, you really are a slut, aren't you?" Corbyn laughs, earning a slap on the back of the head from Jonah

"The kiss was nothing, she was-" Jonah stops talking as Daniel glares at him

"I was so mad that you slept with Luna, I guess I felt like it was okay" I lean my back against the wall, slowly sliding down to the floor while tears start leaving my eyes

"I slept with my ex girlfriend, you slept with my best friend! And you slept with me the day after!" Daniel's face gets a darker shade of red with each word he says

"I-I'm sorry" My heartbeat quickens as my breathing gets unstable and heavy.

Here we go again.

I cover my ears as the three boys start arguing. My body shakes, but much worse this time.

"Y/n? Hey guys!" Jonah shouts getting them to pay attention.

He bends down beside me, putting a hand on my shoulder, rubbing it softly. I gasp out for a breath as I sob louder, the motions on my body causing me to panic more.

"I got it Jonah" Daniel whispers causing him to step back.

Daniel picks me up and brings me to the couch. He keeps me on his lap and starts talking in a calming voice, getting me to breathe with him to steady my breaths.

Once I get down from my panic attack, Daniel hands me some water and takes the boys to the other room. I sit drinking until they come back out.

Jonah and Corbyn leave, leaving me alone with Daniel. He sits down next to me, but leaves a space between us.

"How are you feeling?" Daniel asks, not looking up from his lap

"Embarrassed" I sigh, resting my cup of water on the coffee table beside my phone

"So, you're pregnant?"

"I am"

"I'm assuming you don't know if it's mine or his?" Daniel sniffles, making me look in his direction.

"I wanted to talk to Jack before anyone found out. I don't know if we used protection or not, so I wanted to ask him about it before I jumped to any conclusions" Daniel wipes the tears falling from his eyes but nods his head

"FaceTime him"

"What?"

"Can you FaceTime him please, ask him now, so we know" I nod my head, pulling out my phone, FaceTiming Jack, hoping he's off the plane.

"Hey bubs, what's going on? You look like you've been crying" Jack says as he answers the call

"Are you busy? I need to ask you something" I try my best to hold in my nerves but I think it's easy to tell I'm breaking

"I'm not busy, I just got to my hotel. What's on your mind?" It hurts seeing Jack smile this much, when I'm about to drop this bomb on him while he's visiting his daughter

"Um, do you remember that night, we got drunk, and, you know"

"We had sex, yes I remember. Why?" Jack chuckles

"Did you, or did we, use um-"

"Protection?" Again, he laughs

"Yeah" I'm way too nervous for this conversation, especially with Daniel breathing down my neck

"Yeah, of course we did. Is that why you're so nervous?" Jack chuckles until I show Daniel on the screen. Jack's face drops. "Uh, hey man"

"Hey bro" Daniel scoffs

"I should go" Jack nervously fiddles around with his phone.

"I'll see you when you get home, Jack" I whisper

"Yeah, I'll see you next week Y/n. Take care of yourself" Jack hangs up the call and I rest my phone down on the table.

I sigh of relief knowing that it's Daniels baby.

There's an awkwardness in the room, it's silent, the only sound is the A/C running.

"So.. What are you going to do?" Daniel whispers, playing around with his fingers

"What do you mean?" I look over to Daniel, seeing him silently cry breaks my heart

"Are you keeping it?"

"Do you want to?"

"Y/n, this is your decision. I'm not going to persuade you into a choice you don't want" Daniel wipes his tears before grabbing onto my hand

"Either way, whatever your choice is, I already have my choice picked solid. You wouldn't change my mind" I smile weakly in Daniels direction

"I'd want you to keep it. Maybe we could have a little girl this time" Daniel smiles, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze

"Are you sure? I don't want this to be a burden on you or your career. You're only 22, and with two kids? I don't-"

"I'm a hundred percent sure. As much as it kills me that you slept with one of my best friends, I still want to be with you, I want to be with Theo, and our little baby in there" Daniel pokes my stomach, causing me to giggle

"So, um, where do we go from here? Like, are we okay? Do we hate each other?"

"I don't hate you, we weren't together so you were allowed to sleep with anyone you want. So, I want us to be together, I want us to be okay again"

I nod my head and Daniel pulls me onto his lap, pulling me into a hug. I rest my face in his neck, just listening to the sound of him breathing. Daniel rubs my back and kisses my head before speaking again.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course" I pull out of the hug to look at him

"Will you be my girlfriend again?" I drop my jaw, causing Daniel to have a slight smirk

"What? Are you sure?"

"Only on one condition" Daniel says as I squint my eyes at him

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?" I laugh and Daniel shakes his head at me

"Move back in with me"

"What? Why?" I flare my eyebrow at him but I don't necessarily hate the idea

"I'd be more comfortable if you lived with me again, and I'd be closer to Theo and the baby" Daniel chuckles but I nod my head slightly

"Yeah, okay" I smile, nodding my head again

"What?! Did you just say yes?!" Daniel jumps up from the couch, still holding me tightly

"Yes" I smile widely as he spins me around the living room.
