Finding out you’re pregnant
You ushered Joe out of the door with a kiss goodbye, “we’ll see you tonight!” You shouted to him getting in the cab and then closing the door and heading over to the couch where Lucy was.
“You two are so sweet! I can’t believe it’s been over a year since you two got together! You were both so smitten” Lucy smirked at you and you blushed, as Lucy really being your best friend, really did know all the details of the start of your relationship when you both hid it whilst filming.
“I know Luce... I honestly can say, I’m with the man of my dreams, no one has ever treated me so well.” You told Lucy as you say either side of the couch,
“I’m happy for you girl and Rami has told me how in love Joe is with you” she told you, causing butterfly like the first time you went out.
Lucy was over at your and Joes for the day, having a catch up and later on getting you were having people come over to help you both get ready for the Golden Globes tonight. Lucy and yourself were meeting all the guys there, as they had a morning of interviews.
It was only 8am and yourself and Lucy had the tv on in the background while you chatted and made some breakfast. You both fancied avocado on toast and as Lucy sat at the island in yours and Joes kitchen, you made and dished it up...
“Y/N!” Lucy laughed, “what are you doing putting Nutella on your avocado?!”
“Well, I’ll pass! You’d think you were pregnant” Lucy joked.
You didn’t even react to what Lucy had said, you may have been a little in denial. You hadn’t even suggested anything to Joe, but if even Lucy could point it out, it might be time to actually check. You had been having a few signs... sore boobs, weird cravings and uh... 3 week late period...
“Earth to, Y/N???” Lucy called, brining your attention back, even though you were now a bit wide eyed, “hold on... are you pregnant??” Lucy asked,
“It’s a possibility...? I mean I have a few signs, but Joe and I are usually quite careful” you told her,
“Usually” Lucy laughed, “come on, you need to find out!” She said hopping off the bar stool in your kitchen...
“Can I come in now?” Lucy asked... you opened the door to yours and Joes en-suite and returned to sitting on the side of the tub...
“Wow this really escalated” you said laughing slightly with your knee jumping up and down,
“You look worried” Lucy said
“I think I’m just nervous... we went from having a catch up and getting excited for the golden globes to you helping me find out if there’s a baby in my belly” you told Lucy, who was sat on the lid of your toilet.
1 minute left to wait for the test and Lucy squeezed your hand, “I don’t know if this helps, but with the way Joe tells Rami about you, I think he’d be over the moon to be the daddy to your baby” she told you, causing you both to instantly well up.
“Thank you Lucy. Imagine if I looked at it and it was negative and we’d both gotten so emotional over nothing” you laughed.
Your laughing was interrupted by your 3 minute alarm on your phone that freaked the both of you out. Your breath was a bit shaky and you grabbed the test faced upside down. 3..2..1 you said mentally counting yourself down before flipping it over to reveal the results
You sat in awe at the results, somehow with all those signs and symptoms it hadn’t really crossed your mind... The shock was the reality that you’d had this baby in your belly for over 3 weeks now. Every emotion travelled through your mind and you burst out crying and showed Lucy...
“are these happy tears?!” She asked hugging you, you just nodded and cried... you had a baby in your belly. Lucy helped you up off the floor and you both sat on the bed smiling, crying, laughing and talking... “Are you going to call Joe up?” Lucy asked
“No, no... I want it to be in person and then I can tell if he’s happy or not, also I might wait until after tonight” you told her and then came up with your plan.
Both yours and Lucy’s phoned buzzed at the same time:
Group iMessage to BORHAP QUEENS from Ben Hardy:
‘Started without you girls, try catch up tonight! Let’s get wasted 😂’

“Ah crap...” you sighed to Lucy now concluding the facts that you were going to have to think of a good excuse not to drink all night.
It was 6pm and yourself and Lucy we’re approaching the venue in your cab after being all dolled up by the very wonderful team of friends who did hair and makeup when working on Bohemian Rhapsody... Approaching the venue, Lucy let the boys know where you were getting out and were meeting. You became quite nervous to see Joe... the father of yhe baby you were now carrying.
Hopping out of the cab you were embraced by all your favourite boys and finally Joe, who was taken away by your sheer beauty. “You are unbelievable.” He said with his mouth dropped, he pulled you in and kissed down your neck, “my girl” he said looking into your eyes and taking your hand to make your way down the carpet.
You hadn’t actually said much to Joe, just gotten on with the procedures of going down the carpet and now you were excited to go sit at the table with your closest friends. Sat with Lucy on one side and Joe on your other, he leant in and whispered in your ear, “darling I cannot wait to get you home tonight” nipping on your ear, you weakened at the thought and then snapped out of it realising that would he be saying that once you told him you were pregnant? To keep him out of any suspicion you just trailed your hand along his thigh and kissed him softly.
“Champagne?” A waiter chimed in, to which everyone raised their champagne flutes to get filled, causing yourself and Lucy to awkwardly shoot a look at each other, she winked at you and nudged you to pick it up. “I’ll drink it for you” and to that you held your glass and sighed a sigh of relief that your cover was not ruined.
You sat round the table and chatted away to your practically second family and Lucy swiftly took your drink and gulped it down taking one for the team, gladly, as this was the first time you seemed to be experiencing nausea... Ben laughed, “Lucy, did you just steal y/n’s champagne??” Causing all the attention to focus of the two of you,
“Please could we have another champagne?” Gwilym asked turning to the waiter that was walking by,
“No, no! I’ll just have a glass of water” you interrupted... The focus was now just on you,
“I thought we were getting wasted?!” Ben exclaimed,
“That’s not like you, baby” Joe laughed... you didn’t know what it was, but all this attention had really accelerated your emotions and you were welling up...
“Y/n! Are you alright?” Rami asked reaching his hand over to rub yours,
“Honey what’s up?” Joe asked looking worried... “I think y/n and I are just going to head out for some fresh air guys, I don’t think she’s too well” Joe said helping you stand and guiding you by the small of your back and holding you other hand to exit the crowd.
Joe had taken you back to an out of use dressing room and grabbed a bottle of water. He sat you on the couch and pulled up a chair so you were both face to face. You just watched his feet as he traced the back of your hand with his thumb... “what’s the matter honey?” Joe asked, “is it the event? Are you not well? Have I done something? Is it—?” His speech stopped when you had pulled out the test in your purse and placed it on his lap...
“surprise” you said sniffing,
“Is this real?” He asked inspecting the test,
“So we’re going to have a baby?”
“And I’m going to be a dad?”
“Wait I’m going to be a daddy?” He said finally piecing it all together... now Joe was crying, he hugged you so tight and kissed the side of your head over and over.
“I’m going to love you and our baby more than words can explain, y/n... you have made me the happiest man on this earth. I’m in love with you and our baby you are carrying” he said smiling through tears and placing his hand on your belly which wasn’t showing...
There was a knock at the door and as it opened revealed Ben, Lucy, Rami and Gwil...
“WE’RE HAVING A BABY” Joe cheered to the guys and then glanced back at you, “Wait.. was I allow to tell them?”
“Bit too late for that now Joey” you said wiping under your eyes...
