Hey everyone! This is my very first story and although I've got heaps of others planned (especially lots more HAA ones!), I thought I'd start with putting this up and seeing if you guys like it. Would really appreciate reviews/favourites/alerts and feel free to message me if you ever want to chat :) Enjoy the story! Here's chapter one...


Chapter One:

The two Walker girls were home alone on a Tuesday afternoon as Sid was at the diner, making excuses to be around Roo, along with Dex, who had tagged along for his internship, while Romeo was currently at work, planning to go for a quick surf afterwards and not being expected home until dinner time or later.

Walking out of the bathroom, with a towel, Sasha walked towards her older sister's room.

"Indi?" she called out through the wood of the door with her face pressed against the outside door frame of her half-sister & brother in-laws bedroom.

Indi had been sitting inside the room for the last three quarters of an hour, re-reading over the same page with none of the information sinking through at the present time. She'd hoped it would work as a boring distraction, but she was wrong.

"Yeah?" she answered, walking over and opening her door to the fifteen year old.

Passing back the towel awkwardly, Sasha's pointed to the item she was passing on.

"There's uh, a, something in there. I assume it's yours – well it's sure as hell not mine and I'd be worried if it belonged to one of the boys, so it's a process of elimination I guess."

Indi nodded, not needing to look inside to be certain of what her sister's babble was regarding. "Okay..."

"Does Romeo know?" Sasha asked crossing her arms, leaning against the door frame as the blonde adjacent to her shook her head.

"No, no he doesn't. I wanted to be sure before I brought it up and he's had a lot on his plate right now anyway."

"Fair enough. So... congratulations I guess?"

Indi sighed, sounding a little exasperated. "In an unexpected way, yeah I guess so."

"Well your baby better not call me Aunty or Aunt Sasha, okay? It's Sasha, Sash or nothing" Sasha strictly stated, smirking as she started to walk off.

Indi laughed lightly, grateful to her sister for lightening the mood. "Okay. I'll try to make sure it won't. And please don't say anything to Romeo... or Dad... or Dex."

"Okay, I won't... Mum" Sasha taunted as she pushed away from the door, starting to walk off to her own room down the hallway.

"Thanks... Aunty Sasha" Indi said with a laugh before she walked back into her room, returning to the textbook page so that she could read it again for the umpteenth time.

Later that evening, Dex & Sid had returned home, bearing the household's dinner, pizza, which the two boys, along with Indi & Sasha were now obliterating.

"So, Dad... Have you ever delivered any baby's before?" Sasha asked randomly, earning herself a glare from Indi on the other side of the table.

"Yes I have, Sash" Sid replied with a proud smile as he sat up a little straighter, pleased with himself that his youngest and most unresponsive daughter seemed to be making an effort or at least interest.

"Why don't you ask me stuff like that? I'm a doctor too! ... Well a nurse is close enough" Dex whinged as he took another bite out of his slice of pizza.

"Cause I know that any half-sane human wouldn't let you near their child after what you did to William. Right, Indi?" Sasha smirked at Indi who in exchange kicked her ankle under the table.

"What was that for?"

"Accident. Anyway, thanks Dad, but I'm not really hungry anymore" Indi said, taking her plate over to the sink and walking out of the living area before Sasha's jokes got even more awkward and she'd have to explain herself.

Walking to her bedroom, she stopped when she heard the front door being opened and turned to see her husband walking inside.

"Hey" he smiled as he walked in and seeing Indi, walked over and gave her a quick peck.

"Hi. How was your day?" Indi asked as she ran a hand through her husband's wet hair.

Romeo just shrugged. "It was alright I guess. Lost a customer and gained a customer today."

Moving her hand from his hair down to resting it on his chest, Indi tried to find her voice, even feeling that stage one of this process was hard. "There's something we need to talk about, Romeo..."

"Okay. I'm just gonna have a shower first if that's okay or is it urgent?"

"Nah, that's fine. I'll be in the room" she said, reaching up on her tip-toes and kissing his cheek before they parted ways.

In the shower, Romeo was assuming Indi wanted to talk about one of their current hot topics, either bills or money, but was trying to figure out which bill was so overdue.

In their bedroom, Indi was thinking about the totally opposite thing to what was on her husband's mind. She was starting to feel nervous about how he'd react to her news and whether he even wanted this baby. She tried to calm her nerves by attempting to reassure herself that Romeo was generally rational and that he was definitely a 'family first' kind of guy, so surely he'd be fine and get used to the idea.

A couple of minutes later, Romeo walked into their bedroom, which prompted Indi to look up from the floor where she'd been gazing in a daydream.

"Are you okay?" Romeo asked, sitting down next to Indi, observing her closely. "You look kind of pale."

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just trying to process this."

"Process what?"

She sighed, looking away, which just made Romeo feel more alarmed as he realized that Indi couldn't be talking about bills. "Indi? What's wrong? Please tell me. You're scaring me."

"I'm pregnant" Indi said, speaking softly as she looked away, unable to see the shock that passed through her husband's eyes.


So I started off with a bit of a cliffhanger, sorry, but chapter 2 is ready and waiting to be uploaded for once I get some feedback! Would love to know whatever you guys thought of it so far, whether you like the idea, if you have any advice or any ideas for what you'd like me to include in this story and most importantly, if you want me to continue!
