Chapter Nine

Rita's p.o.v

It's been hard to deal with everything without Michael being here. Some people at school found out about the pregnancy and they're being really nasty about it and I really want him here but I understand that he can't be. We do talk every day though. He's actually meant to be coming back in just over a week and I'm really exited to see him. My exams have been really stressful, no matter how hard I study I still can't get any of the information to stick, my mum said that it's my baby brain, I'm not going to be able to remember some things. I can go from one room to another and completely forget what I went in there for.

Michael did miss my second scan but it's okay, I mailed him the photo so that he could see how big our baby has gotten in the time he's been away.

Michael's p.o.v

I told Rita that I was going to be coming home in a week which is when she finishes school but I'm actually coming home today. I know that it was wrong of me to lie to her but I really wanted to see the look of surprise on her face when I come home a week early. Taylor knows that I'm coming home today but she's the only one who knows. I didn't want my mum and dad to know because I wanted to spend a whole week with her without anyone trying to pull me away.

By the time I got to Rita's apartment it was one in the morning. I left college at 7 after I had taken my exams and said goodbye to my friends up there. I was going to leave tomorrow but I got too exited so decided to leave a day before, which probably wasn't a very good idea because towards the end I was starting to fall asleep while I was driving. I know that Rita will be in bed when I get in, so I have to try and get in and get in bed without waking her up. She gave me a key so that I could come over whenever I wanted.

I left my stuff in the living room so that I wouldn't wake her up while dragging it into the bedroom. I'm going back up to college next week to get all of my stuff, my dad likes to help me bring it all home, he says that it gives us some one on one time without the girls.

I got changed out of my clothes and gently got into bed and put my arm around her.

Rita's p.o.v

I woke up when I felt the bed dip slightly beside me. I thought nothing of it, Michael was always getting in and out of bed when he was here, but then I remembered that Michael wasn't here and he's at college until next week. I looked back to see Michael's messy blonde hair lying next to me. I smiled to myself and moved back a little so that his front was pressed up against my back.

I woke up the next morning to see an empty bed. Maybe I dreamt it! I've wanted Michael to come home for ages so maybe my brain did it as a comfort thing.

I went into the living room to see Michael sat watching the tv. I thought he was meant to be coming back next week! What's he doing here?

"Morning babe" he smiled, putting his arm out. I sat down next to him and cuddled into his side as he put his arm around me.

"I thought you weren't going to be back until next week" I said, looking up at him.

"I kind of lied" he said, with his cute little half smirk.

"Why though?". What was the point in lying to me about it?

"I don't know. I guess I just wanted to surprise you"

He's really annoying, cute but annoying.
