Omg did anyone watch Caspar's new video "Holiday Romance"? :'') Basically he got this random girl in Africa & started asking her questions to see if she could be his holiday romance & he asked her "do you like 5 seconds of summer?" & she was like 'eh' so he started to try & strangle her (as a joke, not legitimately) she started singing "Oh Cecilia" by The Vamps instead she started singing "oh cecilia your-" & then shouted "THAT'S THE VAMPS" honestly, it's funnier than it sounds. If you want, that moments not far into his video just go on YouTube type in "Caspar Lee Holiday Romance" & skip to 1:42. Honestly, it's the best thing ever. (I've over used the word honestly)
MY ENGLISH LOVE AFFAIR READERS: If you read this story & read MELA, then read the last half of the guest account reply ;)
Also, this would have been up yesterday but I went on a flowrider at the leisure centre where I live & it was absolutely brutal every time you fell off the board into the water. I ache all over & in places that shouldn't be aching bc of that. (TMI, Paige, TMI)

snozberriesme: I barely read 5SOS fanfiction any more for some reason, I think it's cos my Wattpad's messed up so it doesn't tell me when the authors I follow & the stories update that I read. By any chance was one of those Lashton MPREG stories called "A Drop In The Ocean" cos if so, gurrrrlll you understand my pain with that story, right? Haha. & that's interesting that Samara is your favourite character haha, I've never had a made up character be someone's favourite in one of my fanfiction's before (apart from Sally in MELA, she's an exception bc she's just so awesome haha) Unfortunately, I'm the only one who writes Rad fanfiction but someone called "HJ Russo" wrote a one-shot called "LA LA Land" on here :) It's good! A little bit deceiving though at the start... & i deleted A Box Full of Secrets bc I need to work on it before I post it as it's going to be completely different to ABFOS like, things are gonna happen quicker, some things are gonna take time to happen & some things are gonna happen that were only mentioned & also some things that were in ABFOS are gonna happen differently :) & some things may not even happen at all ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own R5, The Vamps, 5 Seconds of Summer or the song "The Weight of Us" by Sanders Bohlke, all rights go to Hollywood, Mercury/Virgin EMI/Universal, Capitol Records & Sanders Bohlke bc idk what record label he's signed to. Nothing comes up. So... YAY!
Chapter 4
Parents
Ross searched high and low in the base for Luke but he couldn't be found anywhere. Everywhere he checked was either locked or had nobody in it to tell Ross if they had seen him. Surely he couldn't have gone far; sure the base is big and it could take days to find something or someone by checking every single unit and room, but Luke couldn't have ran that far for it to literally be that case.
If worse comes to worse the chances are Luke has left the base and fled. If so, Ross will be getting a Wrangler from the garages and chasing his ass down the desert road.
Instead of searching the entire base he decided to stick with the unit he was familiar with which was where the hospital, canteen, armory, science and technician department were. The Armory was locked, due to the fact Luke had probably locked it earlier but to double check Ross knocked hard and loud to the point where if someone was in there they would have unlocked the door. Afterwards he wondered around the science department and asked Dan, who was strangely still working in there even though it was almost eleven at night, if he had seen Luke and he said no.
After checking those places the last place he had to look was the canteen, and if he wasn't in there then clearly he was elsewhere but he wasn't going to waste his time looking for him. He walked into the canteen seeing it was completely empty, yet the lights were still on which meant someone had to have come in as the lights are automated and come on when they sense someone is in the room. He looked over at the window and saw Luke sat outside at one of the benches.
Ross made his way over to the door and went outside, sitting next to Luke on the bench. "How long have you known?" Luke asked.
"I was the first to know because he wanted me to check if it was true or not, so I did it. Guaranteed it did take a while because I had never performed or done an ultrasound before. Needless to say Ashton was less than amused by the end of it all."
Luke laughed softly "I can imagine."
A small silence fell over them before Ross broke it a few seconds later. "I don't get it... You're a nice person... You love Ashton... Why are you doing this?" Ross asked, confused.
Luke shrugged "I don't know... He told me and... I freaked out because I didn't know what to do. I don't know how to look after a kid or baby. Especially not at this age; I've had no baby brothers or sisters, so I wouldn't have a clue. Ashton has two: a little brother and sister that are almost ten years younger than him. He's basically had tuns of practice without even realising..."
"It's not a good enough excuse as to why you rejected him and the baby."
"I don't know why I did it... I got... I got scared. And I repeat, freaked out. I didn't think guys could get pregnant."
Ross sighed "You and me both, dude. But apparently they can, and it's very rare. I suppose in a way it's kind of a special thing. I mean, I always knew there was something special about Ashton. Not gonna lie, this would have been the last thing on my list that I thought it would have been." He said, making Luke laugh.
Luke's laugh soon sobered up and a long silence followed.
"What are you gonna do?"
Luke shrugged "I don't know."
"Well, I tell you what you're not gonna do, you're not gonna be an ass and leave him. Cos if I was ever in a situation like this with – and God forbid this from ever happening – with Brad and I rejected him I know for a fact you wouldn't like it. Even if it was with the likes of Joe, Caspar or Dan. You would be sat here saying the same stuff to me."
"It depends. It would have to happen in order for me to see what I would do."
"Alright."
"What?"
"Lets do it. I'll go get Dan, he's a scientist, he specialises in biology too as well as other stuff. Maybe he can make Brad pregnant by me – ooh! Better yet, maybe he's special like Ashton. I can just go have sex with him right now and find out. Granted, it will be classed as rape because I know Brad will not give his consent to let me—"
"Are you done?" Luke asked, feeling slightly awkward and disgusted that Ross would even think to do that to Brad.
Ross shrugged "I'm just trying to prove a point."
"I might just go back to Australia... or somewhere else."
"Ohhh... You're going to be that ass hole." Ross said, like it all suddenly made sense to him.
Luke furrowed his brow "What do you mean?"
"You're being the ass hole that runs away and hides from his problems until they go away but this is a problem that isn't going to go away no matter what. Even if you go back to Australia you're still going to see Ashton because your family and his family have always been close and it's one of the reasons why you two are together. Also when the kid grows up, he or she is going to want to know who their second dad is."
"But I don't wanna be a Dad!"
"Well you should have thought about that before you stuck it in him!"
"How was I supposed to know he's able to get pregnant?! He didn't tell me! I'm not fucking psychic!"
Ross rolled his eyes, lowering his voice "Alright, fair point, but still. You've both got as much to blame for this. But Ashton can't do it on his own. Yeah, he can cope financially, but what about raising the kid? What about when the kid grows up?" Ross asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Ashton is going to have his family behind him to help raise the kid. Yes, he'll leave here to have the baby but he'll come back. How many times a year do we get to go home and see our family? Twice? Three if we're lucky? Even then it's not for long. It's even shorter if you live in another country like Australia. He'll never see his own son or daughter and the kid won't like it one bit. It'll get to the point where Ashton will have to leave this base for good and have to stay in Australia permanently. And when he stays in Australia, the kid will wonder why he or she doesn't have both his or her parents around – even though it'll have that big supporting family. Every single kid deserves to have both of their parents. Both of them. Whether if it's a boy and girl or a girl and a girl or a boy and a boy. It doesn't matter. It gives them a sense of security – and when they see that they have one parent but their friends have two, they... They feel like they're missing out on so much on having a proper family. Yeah, sure, the kid might have all that family, like uncles, aunts, grandmas, granddads, without it's Dad but it'll still wonder why everyone else has a Dad but them. I know that more than anyone. Me and Rocky only have a Mom because our Dad's not around any more, Joe's parents are split as well as Caspar's. I think you, Brad and Dan are the only people I know who have both of their parents still together. Do you know what it's like hearing about yours, Brad's and Dan's parents still being together? It makes me feel happy for you guys because you're so lucky, but I also envy it and get annoyed sometimes because I've never had that ever. I share a room with Brad. He gets calls from his Mom and Dad at least once a day and I'm always there when he talks to them. He talks to one and gets handed to the other – or he gets promised that his Mom or Dad will get told about what he said if they're not there. Two parents. Two loving parents that care about him so much. I have one. And even then I'm not sure she cares about me that much because I only get a phone call every now and then because I have to make the effort. I barely get spoken to when I'm at home. And that's what happens sometimes when both parents aren't there to raise a child. The child and that parent end up not getting along and drifting apart. So tell me Luke... If you could give your baby's parent life mine or Brad's... Who's would you pick? What life do you think would make the baby happiest? One where he or she gets ignored by it's parent or one where he or she is loved by their parents."
Luke stayed silent, not knowing what to say. "Exactly," Ross said, feeling satisfied that Luke couldn't give a response "don't be a dead beat like my Dad. Be a nice Dad like Brad's, Dan's or your own. Cos unfortunately me, Joe, Caspar, Rocky and Ashton aren't as lucky to have two parents as you three are. That. And you're in love with Ashton. I don't see why you would leave him in his darkest hour and the pain that he's about to go through." Ross got up from where he sat and started making his way towards the door "I'm going back to bed. Night Luke. I hope you make the right choice."
After Ross had left through the door, Luke watched him walk through the canteen through the glass window and let tears well up in his eyes. He wiped his face to get rid of the tears that threatened to fall down his face before deciding to head back inside as the cold from the desert finally started to hit him.
Rocky sat on his bed looking over at Ashton who laid on his bed doing nothing but just lay there and stare at the wall and heavily sigh every now and then. "Look, you don't need Luke if he's going to be like that," Rocky said, trying to be supportive but it wasn't exactly his strong point "you can handle it yourself, you're strong enough. Besides, you'll have your family, me, Ross, and Brad. Us three will be there for you if you need us. Maybe even Dan, Joe and Caspar. Probably depends on how they feel."
Ashton didn't respond, instead he gave Rocky a small smile and returned to frowning.
Rocky stood up from his bed after hearing a knock on the door, thinking that Ross or Brad were coming back from going after Luke – even though he doesn't think Brad went after him. He opened up the door to find Luke stood there looking guilty and bad "You're not coming in here, you can go sleep with the dogs."
"I wanna talk to Ashton." Luke said.
"Well he doesn't want to talk to you. Who would after you rejected him?" Rocky asked.
"I didn't reject him!"
"Yes you did! Now go away!" Rocky raised his voice, going to slam the door in his face.
"Rocky!"
Rocky stopped after hearing Ashton shout his name. He turned his head and faced Ashton. "Just... let him in if he wants to speak to me that badly." Ashton said, now being sat on the edge of his bed.
Rocky stepped out of the way and let Luke in "I'm going in the bathroom. I'm not standing hear, listening to you both talking but I'm not leaving the room at the same time because anything could happen. Ashton, call me if you need anything like if you need Luke putting into check, or if you need me to kick him out. Or knock out." Rocky gave him a smile before going into the bathroom to leave the pair alone.
Luke and Ashton both stayed in silence for a short while after Rocky had left to go into the bathroom. Ashton sighed "What do you want?" He asked, not really wanting to speak to Luke and getting up from the bed.
Luke walked over from where he stood, over to Ashton and hugged him, not letting go "I'm so sorry for being an ass and rejecting you like that – I'll let you punch me for it later. It's just... I was scared and didn't really know what to do. You would have been the same too if it was the other way around."
Ashton dropped his arms from the hug, even though Luke still held onto him "Yeah... I'd have been scared – I mean, I am now – but I wouldn't have said that I wanted to leave and that you were a freak. Just like what you said to me."
Luke shut his eyes, sighing as he felt Ashton drop his arms from the hug but he didn't dare let go.
"Let me go." Ashton said after a short while of silence and nothing but Luke holding onto him like his life depended on it.
Luke pulled away "I know I can't take back what I said but I didn't mean it, I swear. I just needed time to process it through my head," Luke paused "and a good old lecture from Ross. Everyone needs one of them in serious situations they back out of, lets face it."
Ashton laughed softly "What did he say?" he asked.
"He started talking about the baby and how when it grows up – if it only had you as a parent – it wouldn't have some sort of unstable sense of security even though it has a big family around them because they would see that their friends have two parents and they'd feel like they're missing out. Or some bullshit like that."
"It's not bullshit, Luke. He's telling the truth. I don't have two parents and even though I have a decent sized family around me I still feel like I'm missing out on having two parents. And I don't want this baby to go through what I went through with my Dad. Even though this one will have two. Damn... Do you think he or she is gonna question why they don't have a Mom but two Dads?"
"Most definitely, but we'll worry about that later when the time actually comes and it's relevant," Luke said, Ashton let out a small laugh. "Are we good?" Luke asked.
Ashton nodded, smiling "Yeah, we're good."
Once again the couple both hugged. After a short while, Luke pulled away and kissed him softly on the lips.
After a short while of silence, Rocky came out of the bathroom and cleared his throat when he saw them both kissing "Excuse me. You can stop that business; that is one of the main reasons as to why you're pregnant." he said. Luke and Ashton soon pulled away and glared at Rocky.
Soon after there was yet another knock on the door which made Ashton and Rocky confused as there wasn't anybody else who it could be that needed to be in the room. "Oh, it's probably Ross making sure I came back and fixed things." Luke said, keeping one arm around Ashton.
Rocky walked over to the door and swung it open "Go away you fag—Hey Will!" Rocky immediately corrected himself, Will raised his brow "how are you on this fine evening?"
Will rolled his eyes and shook his head "I'm fine, Rocky. Luke, Ashton, I need to speak to you both in private. Come to my office now." Will said before disappearing from the doorway and not giving them much of a choice.
"He knows doesn't he..." Luke said, starting to dread what Will had to say.
"I have a hunch."
And now Will finally comes into the story just like in The Last Judgement & TDOT (even though he was only mentioned in TDOT & in like 2 or 3 chapters of TLJ)! YAY! I honestly think in these next few chapters Will might actually turn into one of your favourite characters bc of the way he goes on & treats Ross & Brad's friendship in one chapter that is absolutely hilarious :''')
