One look at Ed's face and I knew he was shocked and hurt at the same time. Hurt that this was something he didn't know about. Katie looked at us both, "I'm just going to leave the two of you alone."
Once Katie left, Ed sat down on my bed next to me, "You have something you need to tell me?"
I shook my head, "Look I know what you heard but it's nothing really. You don't have to worry about it."
"Not worry about it?! What are you planning to do!" Ed said.
I looked at him, "It's none of your business!" I said getting up but he grabbed my arm.
"It's every bit of my business since you're carrying my baby! I think I have every right to know what you are going to do!"
I pulled away from him, "I am going to raise the baby on my own! You don't have to be any part of his or her life!"
"How can you even say that?! And how do you know I wouldn't want to be part of their life!"
"Ed look at you, you're 22 and a big music star. You have your whole life ahead of you. I don't want to tie you down with a baby. It's not fair to you."
"And what it'll be fair to you to raise our baby on your own? Look we both created that baby, not just me and not just you. And I want to be part of that baby's life. I love you!"
I looked at him shocked, "You love me?"
"Look you don't have to say it back but yes...I do love you," Ed said.
I went back and sat next to him on the bed and placed a hand on my non-existent belly, "What are we going to do?"
"What we are going to do is right now take things step by step. And plan on us being the parents of this precious little miracle," he said placing his hand on top of mine.
I started to cry and he put his arms around me, "Babe what's wrong?"
"I...I'm so sorry I let this happen," I said crying onto his shoulder.
"Babe you didn't do anything. You don't have to be sorry. We both did this together and we will get through it together. Maybe it was meant to happen," he said rubbing my back.
The next few months were hard on us both, especially with him on tour and me staying in NYC. But he made sure whenever he was free he would stay at our apartment so he could be near and take care of me. There were times he wanted me to come along with him but with the way I was feeling I didn't want to leave the apartment.
It was a day in July when I wasn't feeling too well and Ed wasn't going to be able to make it until another week or so.
Later that day Katie came home from work and saw me sitting on the couch looking in pain. "Chris? What is it?"
I didn't answer but Katie knew something was wrong and immediately went to get a cab to get to the hospital. Once she got to the waiting room she called Ed up and got his voicemail. "Ed call me as soon as you can. Took Chris to the hospital...it's not looking too good."
