I have decided to change this one-shot to a story. Hope you all like it.
It has been three weeks since I found out I was pregnant. We went to the doctors that week and found out that I was 6 weeks which means I am now 9 weeks. The doctor says everything seems to be great and the baby is healthy as am I. He gave me lists of things to do and not to do, also thing I should eat and shouldn't. This whole pregnancy thing was going to drive me insane. But hey, it will all be worth it in the end. James and I talked about everything after the appointment. He seems to be excited now that we actually went to the doctors and got to see the little 'blob' on the screen. We decided that we would only tell close family and friends right now and then in a few weeks we would tell our publicist, agents, production and anyone else that needed to know. We talked about living together and I really didn't want to. Not that I didn't want to live with him, I just felt as though we were only doing it because of the baby, but he talked me into it. He said if I lived there I would have his help and he didn't want to live in a different house then his baby, which I can understand. So I was going to be moving in very shortly.
Our families were surprisingly excited and were actually congratulating us. I thought for sure my parents would have been having a stroke. My Mom was on cloud nine, my dad couldn't wait to be a grandfather. James' family was just as happy for us as my parents were. I was just surprised because of the fact that James and I have only been together a year and half and also not to mention the effect that this will have on our careers. Then there were the BTR guys, those three were beyond excited, flipping, literally. They were the happiest for the two of us, telling us that we were going to be the best parents and that they were going to be the best uncles. With everyone else being so excited, it put me at ease a little, James as well. I remember the night we had told pretty much everyone we were going to at that point, we were laying in bed and James looked at me with this huge smile on his face, "Are you ready for this?" "Yes, only with you beside me, I am". I knew right then and there that we were going to be OK and that everything would work out for the best.
A few weeks had passed, I was 12 weeks to be exact. Me and James knew we had to tell everyone else that we were having a baby. We went to see his publicist first. When we told her she freaked, "We need to get the other three here now, James do you know what this is going to do for your career, do you have any idea whats going to happen, ticket sales are going to plummet, record sales are going to go down, who knows what else is going to happen." We just sat there staring at our hands like two kids being yelled at. The other three from BTR came into the meeting room and sat down, wondering why they were even there to begin with. "Whats going on Mel?' Carlos asked. "Well Im not sure if you know this but James and Hailey are pregnant!" She said calmly. "Yes, we did. Exciting isn't it?" "Guys Im not sure if you know what this mean, not only does this effect him but its going to effect you three as well." Kendall looked at her with a confused look on his face, "Mel he is 23 years old, what he does with his own personal life has nothing to do with us, 23 year olds have babies all the time" "Yes but not when they are not married, play 17 year old boys on a TV show and their direct audience is primarily a younger generation" Now it was Logans turn to talk. "Are fans mean the world to us and thats obvious but what we do in our personal lives should not reflect who we are as actors or musicians." James and I just sat there looking at the three of them defending us. "Besides, If Hailey and James want to have 10 kids before they are married then good for them. Whatever makes them happy." Mel stood there silent for a minute before she spoke again. "I agree with you Lagan 100% but I just want to warn you, this could either make or break you guys so be prepared." Carlos said without hesitating, "Whatever happens, happens to all of us as far as this band goes and we got each others backs with everything. We are ready" As we walked out of the meeting room the guys told James and I that there was nothing to worry about and that everything was going to be just fine. They would deal with whatever life threw at them and that they had our backs because James was a brother and this baby was now their family as well as me.
We now had to go tell my people and hope that it went better then our last conversation. We walked up the steep stairs, I was very nervous and did not want to have this conversation. It felt like telling James all over again. We sat down in the office. I spoke "Ellen, I have to tell you something and you may or may not be to happy about it but-" She cut me off, "Hailey, honey whats wrong, tell me?" "Im pregnant" I just stared at her as her face went from concerned to shocked. "OK, well how far along are you?" "12 weeks" "OK so your due in November, OK, Alright, well lets talk about this." I just nodded as she talked "We have to tell production, and figure out what we can do as far as the show, you wont be filming in August though December so we can probably just hide it for the next two months" she looks down at my belly "you are not very big so chances are you wont be showing then either but even if you are we may be able to hide it. We will have to talk to production like I said so I will set up that meeting." I was nodding still. "As far as fans and things like that I don't think that will be any kind of issue." After a few minutes I said goodbye and James and I walked out but before we got to the door Ellen said with a sincere smile on her face "Hailey, James Congratulations to the both of you!"
I was now pretty much living at James' house. The only thing left to do was put the rest of my stuff in storage or give what I didn't need away. I really didn't need the furniture or anything like that because James had all of that. So that night we were eating dinner together, which doesn't happen often but that night we were. "So how are you feeling about what Mel said today?" I asked him. "I mean it is what it is. There isn't anything anyone can do about it. If things go south then so be it. Right now my main focus is that baby" he motioned to me. "Yea but I wouldn't want thing to go all sour for you and the guys because of this" "Hailey, honestly I don't think it will. Like Kendall said 23 year old have babies all the time. So what? We are not married, people have kids out of wedlock all the time. Its not like Im a child or you for that matter, we are adults and my fans have to realize just because I have a baby doesn't mean that I will forget about them or that I have somehow became a terrible person." I looked up from my plate. "Yea your right!" "What about you, are you worried about what people might think of you?" "Thats where its a little different for you and I, your fans are primarily younger and you are on a kid based network but me, Im not. Your personal life is documented more then mine is. Not only are you an actor but your a performer too." "TRUE" "But I do think that it will have some effect as far as the show goes because I will want to be with the baby more and Ill want to slow down." "We have 6 months to think about it so lets make the best of this whole thing." I continued to eat. "I am really happy about this, excited even. I cant wait to lay eyes on him or her and I cant wait to see who he or she will look like, me or you?" he said with a huge grin on his face. "Me too babe, me too."
(A/N) I will have the next chapter up ASAP.
