3- Baby On The Way

Description: what if Janeece had gotten pregnant with Bolton's baby after they had split up in S4 E14?

Janeece's POV

I stare at the two red lines infront of me, hardly able to believe what I'm seeing. I couldn't be…..? No of course I couldn't, we'd always used protection, and surely I couldn't be that stupid.. not after we'd broken up over a month ago?

'Oh god, what was I going to do?' I cry, panicking. Bolton had a reputation of being the school's bad boy, he obviously wouldn't be too happy to find out he was a dad, he probably wouldn't even want anything to do with the baby. I'd have to bring it up all on my own, I wasn't ever going to abort my baby, I couldn't bring myself to be so cruel to an innocent little baby, no matter how bad things were.

I sigh heavily, getting down off the bathroom counter, still holding the test in my hand. I reach for my phone in my bag, my hands shaking nervously. I dial the number that I had memorized for months, wondering if this was the right thing to do.

'Too late now..' I think as the phone rings twice and then Bolton picks it up on the other end.

"Hello?" he asks.

With that voice, comes back loads of memories; me and Bolton's first kiss, when Bolton came into hospital to visit me after my boob job, how he had got jealous when Paul was talking pictures of me in class and of course, our bad breakup at Philip's party over a month ago, and how I had cried over him in one of the bedrooms.

"Hello?" he asks again, this time annoyed.

"Hello" I whisper, barely audible, shy all of a sudden.

"Janeece, is that you?" he asks, sounding surprised.

"Yeah, it's me", I reply, taking a shaky breath to calm my nerves.

"Are you ok?" Bolton asks, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I answer.

"Ok.." he replies, not quite convinced.

"Why did you call?" he asks, confused.

"Umm.. I need to speak to you properly" I say, feeling more nervous than ever.

"Ok, when?" he asks, curious.

"How about tonight?" I suggest, wanting it to be over and done with as quickly as possible so I can move on with my life and forget about him.

"Yeah, sure. I'll come round to yours at 8, yeah?"

"Yeah" I agree, before slamming the phone down.

I hope I've made the right decision, I'm scared of what Bolton's reaction is going to be when I tell him, what happens if it makes him angry and he hates me? No, don't think like that, be positive.

After what seems like ages, it's finally 8 o clock and I can hear Bolton's car pull up on the drive as he climbs out and rings the doorbell.

'Well, here goes nothing' I think, not quite ready for one of the biggest moments in my life.

I open the door and Bolton is standing there, looking just as good-looking as he did the last time I saw him and I can't help but smile at the sight.

He smiles back at me, looking slightly confused, and I don't really blame him: we haven't talked since the breakup and now suddenly I ask him to come round? What the hell was I thinking?

He comes in and sits down on the plush white sofa before looking at me questioningly as if to say 'I'm here, what do you want to talk about?"

I ignore the butterflies in my stomach and sit next to him on the sofa, careful to keep my distance, not wanting it to seem like I want him back (even though deep down I really do).

"Bolton, I have something to tell you.." I admit, feeling sick with nerves and anticipation on how he would react.

"Go on then, I haven't got all day" he jokes, trying to lighten the atmosphere a bit, and it works.

He's still got that great sense of humour he had when we first got together, I think, wistfully,

"I'm pregnant" I blurt out, looking down at the sofa so as not to see his reaction.

I hear a sharp intake of breath and prepare myself for the worst.

"What do you mean?" he asks, shocked.

"I think you know exactly what I mean" I reply, irritated, why does he have to pretend like he doesn't understand?

"But..how? I thought we used protection?" he asks.

"Well, it clearly didn't work" I answer, trying to avoid looking at his face.

"Oh" he says, lost for words.

"OH? IS THAT ALL YOU'RE GOING TO SAY? I'VE JUST TOLD YOU THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR BABY AND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BECOME A DAD ANDALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS 'OH'?" I shout, getting angry now.

He stares at me in shock, wondering what the hell ahs gotten into me and eventually, he apologises.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't know what to say, that's all" he admits.

"It's ok" I reply, feeling awkward.

"Look, it's alright if you don't want to be a part of this baby's life, I totally get it, you're a bad boy and you've got a reputation to uphold and you don't want to have a baby yet. I was just telling you because you have the right to know, I can bring up this baby on my own just fine, if that's what you want.." I say, starting to cry at how my life has turned out.

How did I go from being such a happy, bubbly girl still at school with a lovely boyfriend and amazing friends to this? I wonder, feeling like a failure in life.

Bolton's POV

I didn't know what to do. I was still reeling from the news that I was going to be a dad, me, Bolton Smilie, a dad at 17? It's crazy, so I didn't really know what to say to Janeece, I knew it must be hard on her as well, and I should probably say something sweet to cheer her up but my mind just went blank and I couldn't think of anything to say.

But, when I saw her crying like that, looking so upset, it broke my heart. The truth is, I still love her, even though we broke up, and it hurts me to see her so unhappy. So, before I can even think about what I'm doing, I put my arm around her shoulders comfortingly and stroke her hair, soothing her and calming her tears.

She lifts her head slightly and stares at me with those bright brown eyes that I've missed so much and before I even realise what I'm doing and the consequences it could have, I lean down to kiss her, our lips pressed together softly, just like how they used to be.

I pull back slowly and check to see Janeece's reaction but she's smiling at me longingly, so I lean back in and we kiss again, more passionately this time, Janeece hooking her leg around mine.

After staying like that on the couch for a while, me cuddling with Janeece , I finally decide to speak up.

"I never stopped thinking about you know, I couldn't move on after we broke up, a few girls asked me out but I didn't accept them because they weren't what I was looking for", I admit, watching her reaction closely.

"Is that so?" she asks amused, with a smile tugging at her lips.

"Yeah", I answer, wondering where this was heading.

"And what were you looking for?"

"I was looking for..you" I say, nervously, not having ever admitted my true feelings to anyone like this before, afraid of what she'd think of me now I'd shown my softer side.

She looks touched my words and she kisses me softly on the lips.

"I felt the same way".

"You know Janeece?"

"Mhmm.."

"You don't have to get through this on your own, I'll be with you every step of the way, I love you and our baby and I want to be a part of its life" I say, trying to reassure her that I was loyal and that I wouldn't ever leave her again.

"Thankyou, Bolton. I love you too" she says, looking into my eyes admiringly.

Janeece's POV

Awww, Bolton was being so sweet, I'd never really seen this side of him before, without his tough bad boy exterior, and I loved it. I loved him and I couldn't believe that I was lucky enough that he loved me back still, after everything that had happened.

I snuggle into him, loving the way he smells, and the way his head brushes against mine.

Bolton then cups his hand over my small stomach, cradling it gently.

"Me and mommy are going to be just fine, aren't we baby?" he says in a sweet voice that melts my heart.

"Yes, yes we are" I state, putting my arms around Bolton's shoulders, he hugs me back carefully, watching out for my non-existing baby bump.

Awww, this was so cute to write! I always loved Janeece and Bolton's relationship and felt cheated when they broke up so I hope you like this fanfic which is soo sweet lol. Please review 😉
