What Gets You Through The Night.

"Lee!" I heard the sound of my name hit my ears as soon as I entered the apartment. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I dropped my bag and was immediately attacked by Ellie.

I didn't even respond just wrapped my arms around her tightly.

"I missed you." She said into the sleeve of my shirt.

"Not as much as I missed yeh, love." I whispered closing my eyes as I took in the smell of her hair.

Five weeks without her was the worst thing that could possibly happen to me. Maybe it really wasn't that long to some, but to me it felt like years. I had almost forgotten the way she smelled and how she felt in my arms. Two things I realized I couldn't go without.

"Liar."

I held her to me as I kissed her neck, "Not lyin'. I have a hard time bein' wifout yeh."

She looked at me and I instantly kissed her lips.

"I should neva have ta go that long wifout kissin' yeh." I whispered cupping her face.

She gave me a grin and I kissed her once more.

"How has my amazin' bird been?" I asked running my fingers into her hair.

"Fine." She responded pulling me to the couch.

"Fine? That's it?"

She giggled, "Yeah."

I couldn't help but smile at her and she wrapped her arms around my torso and buried her face into my shirt.

"Baby..." I cooed rubbing her back, "Yeh ok?"

"Yeah. I need to tell you something..."

"Ok...what?"

"Promise not to freak out?"

"Well, when yeh say that, no I don't..."

She looked up at me and I kissed her forehead, "Juss tell meh, love."

She bit her lip and I gave her a serious look. She now was worrying me a bit, "El, what is it?"

"Fuck. Look. I'm pregnant." She said sitting up and I can only imagine the horror on my face.

"Preg...pregnant?" I managed to get out and she nodded.

"How?"

"Well, see, when a guy and a girl..."

"I know how it fuckin' happens Ellie, but how did it happen wif us? I fought yeh couldn't have kids?" I asked and she shrugged, "Are you mad?"

I breathed in deeply trying to calm myself, "No, I'm not mad, love. Juss shocked as hell righ' now."

"Yeah, well imagine how shocked I was."

"When did yeh find this out?"

"Two weeks ago."

"What?! And yeh didn't tell meh?!"

"Lee! I figured, over the phone was not the way to go about it! You would have probably really ran away then."

I rolled my eyes, "No, I wouldn't have."

She shrugged and I let out a sigh, "It's ok, love. I swear. I love yeh and it's ok." I responded pulling her into my lap.

"Now, are yeh ok wif it? Cause yeh hate kids..." I joked causing her to laugh, "Well, at first I wasn't."

"Are yeh now?"

She nodded and I kissed her cheek.

"Might have something to do with the fact that I love you."

I chuckled, "Lucky meh!"

"So, are you ok?" She asked and I nodded, "If yeh are, I am." I said kissing her cheek.

Although the thought of having to take care of another person scared the hell out of me, a part of me found myself a bit excited to see what happened. She did that to me a lot...she made things that would normally freak me out not seem so bad.

"You sure?"

I chuckled, "Yes. Guess this was bound to happen since yeh can't keep yeh hands off meh."

She rolled her eyes and pushed away from me causing me to laugh.

She glared at me from where she now stood and I grinned, "I love yeh."

"And our baby." I added holding my hand out to her.

She sighed and gave in allowing me to pull her back into my lap. I kissed her cheek and placed my hand gently on her stomach.

"Don't worrah my love. It's gonna be perfect. Everyfing will be fine." I whispered, "I'm not goin' anywhere. We will do this togetha." I stated with a reassuring grin.

"I know we will! Because if you leave I'll hunt you down."

"I know yeh would, that's why I'm stayin'!", I joked.

She chuckled and I kissed her lips, "So...a baby huh?"

"Yep."

"Mhm." I said as I rubbed her stomach, "Poor kid havin' us as parents!"

She giggled, "I think we will be fine."

"I know we will, love." I responded holding her to me.

Although I was surprised, I was ok with this. I was ok, with having a family with her, being with her forever. Two things I never dreamed I'd be ok with, but here I was doing it all without freaking out. I guess it's true what they say, the right person can change it all.
