Paring: Pete Dunham x f!reader
Warnings: swearing, mention of pregnancy and injuries
It was already late and Pete wasn’t home, and of course, you were worried he kept getting into stupid fights at the pub and every time his condition worsened.
Meanwhile, you were pacing through the house you heard the sound of the door opening, “hiya love, I’m back” said Pete entering the door, “do you know what time it is? You were supposed to be back two hours ago” you almost shouted at him, “It’s just two hours, what’s your problem?” He asked getting closer to you, you could smell the alcohol on his breath and that was the last straw “No what’s your problem? You know what? I’m done with this relationship, I’m tired of waiting for you every night and seeing you coming home beaten up!” You screamed while taking your coat before leaving.
The sound of the alarm woke you up from the nightmare, it wasn’t unusual for you to get nightmares about the last fight you had with Pete, even if 2 years had passed you couldn’t stop thinking about it, and each time you wonder what could have been, if you knew back then that you were pregnant with his child.
Once you recovered from the nightmare you realised that it was already late and you had to wake up Liam, your two-year-old son, “good morning darling” you cooed picking up the baby, he just looked at you and yawned. “Do you want breakfast” you playfully asked “yayy” he answered while clapping his hands.
A sudden ringing from your phone caught your attention, “hello” you said picking up the phone “hello, is this Miss Y/N Y/L/N?” A female voice on the other end asked, “yes, why?” “We want to let you know that Pete has entered the emergency room yesterday evening and he was rushed into surgery, everything went well and he will be discharged this evening, he has a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder so it’s better if someone accompanies him home.” in that moment you felt a wave of shock through your body, “l’m sorry, who is Pete?” You asked almost whispering “Pete Dunham, you are listed as his emergency contact” the woman said confused “T-thanks” you said in disbelief hanging up the phone. You could feel a thousand questions filling your head, what happened to Pete, and why he is in the hospital.
The rest of the day went by quickly while you tried not to worry about Pete, and the more you looked at Liam the more you felt bad about not telling Pete the truth and you also felt scared about the reaction that he could have when he found out that he had a son.
The hospital was quiet the only sound you could hear was the stroller on the plastic floor, “hello I’m here for Pete Dunham” you said to the lady at the front desk “Miss Y/N Y/L/N, right? He’s in room number 1214” said the lady kindly. After a short walk, you reached the room, and you had to take all the courage you had in yourself to open that door. The room was small and the light was soft, there was a small bed in the centre of the room and Pete was sitting on it. “Y/N what are you doing here?” He asked shocked “the hospital called me this morning, they said that I was your emergency contact” you answered “oh…I’m sorry about that” he said looking at the floor, an uncomfortable silence covered the room for seconds that felt like hours, then a small sound from the trolley caught your attention. “Is this your son?” Pete asked looking at the toddler “yes, his name is Liam” you said picking up the baby, “hi Liam, how old are you?” Asked Pete looking at the baby, Liam held up his hand to make a two with his fingers, the sweet moment was interrupted by a nurse coming into the room “Miss Y/N can I have a word with you outside” “yes, of course” you said leaving the baby with Pete. While the nurse talked you couldn’t really focus on what she said, you couldn’t stop staring at Pete he looked so comfortable around Liam and they looked so alike, it was probably a matter of time before he finds out the truth and you knew it, you weren’t really picking up on what the woman in front of you was saying, she talked about some wound on his lower abdomen that you had to take care of, you thanked the lady and got ready to leave.
The drive home was quite really quiet, “the nurse said that you need help with a wound on you lower abdomen so it’s better if you stay at my place” you said breaking the silence “S’not that serious I can do it myself” he said “and I don’t want to bother you or Liam’s father” he added shortly after “actually Liam’s father and I don’t live together, in reality we never did” you said looking over to Liam who was sleeping in the back seat, “oh, I’m sorry” he said almost whispering.
When you arrived home it was already late so you decided to put Liam to sleep. Once you closed the door you found Pete sitting on the sofa and looking around the apartment. “Lay down, I need to check the wound on your lower abdomen” you said getting close to him, “Liam looks so happy, you probably are a really good mother” he said smiling at you. “You know, I’m trying my best” you said lifting his shirt “whoa, slow down we haven’t seen each other in years” he said laughing with you. After you medicated his wound you both decided to watch TV together and you couldn’t help but notice how Pete hadn’t changed even a bit since the last time you saw him he still looked as handsome as before.
The next few days went by quickly and all three of you had settled into a strange routine, Pete would help you around the house and he also offered to put Liam to bed.
“Liam is sleeping peacefully” said Pete entering the kitchen “thank you for helping me around the house, it seems like Liam really likes you” you said turning around to face him, “that’s the least I can do to make up for our breakup, I was really an asshole and I should’ve listened to you, I’m sorry” he said getting closer to you. In that moment you realise that he really meant what he was saying and so you opened your arms to hug him. The hug was a minute too long, you could feel Pete's head buried in your neck, when you both broke off the hug you felt his lips pressing against yours and you gave in to the kiss, the kiss started turning into a make-out session, in that moment you realised that you really wanted him back but you also had to tell him the truth. “I need to tell you something” you said panting after the kiss, “what” he said smiling without knowing what it was yet to come “you know when we broke up I was pregnant and Liam is your son” you said scared of his reaction, “why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve stayed” he said angrily pulling away from you “I don’t wanna talk about it right now, I’ll go sleep” he said leaving the small room leaving you with tears in your eyes for the second time in a row.
After the fight you couldn’t sleep so you went to his room. “Are you awake? Can I come in” you asked knocking on the door “yes come in” when you opened the door you found him sitting on the bed looking at the door, “I’m sorry I didn’t told you the truth about Liam back then, I was scared you would’ve left me, in this week I realised that you are the father that Liam’s deserve and that I still love you, I just want to try again” you said crying getting closer to him on the bed, at first he didn’t said anything he just hugged you tightly “I’m sorry too, I overreacted, I still love you too and I want to make things work this time” he said before kissing you, in that moment you felt that everything was going to be alright.
