The news had spread fast around the island when the doctor, who was one of your mother’s co-workers, told you that you were 9 weeks pregnant at 17.

Your mother was furious, having immediately drove you to your boyfriend’s house to tell him and his parents.

That was the thing though. Your boyfriend, Lachlan, wasn’t actually your boyfriend. He was gay, and the two of you had agreed to fake date. The baby was actually his stepbrothers. Rafe Cameron.

The reveal didn’t go well. You were as nervous as you had ever been. You told Ward and Rose, the two of them immediately grilling Lachlan about it. Which then spiraled into him coming out to them, and you and Rafe having to reveal that you’d been together secretly.

Rafe made it very clear to Rose and his father that he’d be there, that’d he raise his child by your side.

That news spread even faster around the island.

It didn’t take long for your mother to kick you out afterwards, your father letting you move into your families beach house after a long time convincing his wife.

You were heavy now, bound to pop any day now.

You were hanging clothes in the nursery closet when you heard the door open downstairs, Rafe’s voice carrying through the house.

“{{user}}?” He called.
