Paring: Pete Dunham x f!reader
Warnings: swearing, mention of pregnancy and injuries
It was already late and Pete wasnβt home, and of course, you were worried he kept getting into stupid fights at the pub and every time his condition worsened.
Meanwhile, you were pacing through the house you heard the sound of the door opening, βhiya love, Iβm backβ said Pete entering the door, βdo you know what time it is? You were supposed to be back two hours agoβ you almost shouted at him, βItβs just two hours, whatβs your problem?β He asked getting closer to you, you could smell the alcohol on his breath and that was the last straw βNo whatβs your problem? You know what? Iβm done with this relationship, Iβm tired of waiting for you every night and seeing you coming home beaten up!β You screamed while taking your coat before leaving.
The sound of the alarm woke you up from the nightmare, it wasnβt unusual for you to get nightmares about the last fight you had with Pete, even if 2 years had passed you couldnβt stop thinking about it, and each time you wonder what could have been, if you knew back then that you were pregnant with his child.
Once you recovered from the nightmare you realised that it was already late and you had to wake up Liam, your two-year-old son, βgood morning darlingβ you cooed picking up the baby, he just looked at you and yawned. βDo you want breakfastβ you playfully asked βyayyβ he answered while clapping his hands.
A sudden ringing from your phone caught your attention, βhelloβ you said picking up the phone βhello, is this Miss Y/N Y/L/N?β A female voice on the other end asked, βyes, why?β βWe want to let you know that Pete has entered the emergency room yesterday evening and he was rushed into surgery, everything went well and he will be discharged this evening, he has a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder so itβs better if someone accompanies him home.β in that moment you felt a wave of shock through your body, βlβm sorry, who is Pete?β You asked almost whispering βPete Dunham, you are listed as his emergency contactβ the woman said confused βT-thanksβ you said in disbelief hanging up the phone. You could feel a thousand questions filling your head, what happened to Pete, and why he is in the hospital.
The rest of the day went by quickly while you tried not to worry about Pete, and the more you looked at Liam the more you felt bad about not telling Pete the truth and you also felt scared about the reaction that he could have when he found out that he had a son.
The hospital was quiet the only sound you could hear was the stroller on the plastic floor, βhello Iβm here for Pete Dunhamβ you said to the lady at the front desk βMiss Y/N Y/L/N, right? Heβs in room number 1214β said the lady kindly. After a short walk, you reached the room, and you had to take all the courage you had in yourself to open that door. The room was small and the light was soft, there was a small bed in the centre of the room and Pete was sitting on it. βY/N what are you doing here?β He asked shocked βthe hospital called me this morning, they said that I was your emergency contactβ you answered βohβ¦Iβm sorry about thatβ he said looking at the floor, an uncomfortable silence covered the room for seconds that felt like hours, then a small sound from the trolley caught your attention. βIs this your son?β Pete asked looking at the toddler βyes, his name is Liamβ you said picking up the baby, βhi Liam, how old are you?β Asked Pete looking at the baby, Liam held up his hand to make a two with his fingers, the sweet moment was interrupted by a nurse coming into the room βMiss Y/N can I have a word with you outsideβ βyes, of courseβ you said leaving the baby with Pete. While the nurse talked you couldnβt really focus on what she said, you couldnβt stop staring at Pete he looked so comfortable around Liam and they looked so alike, it was probably a matter of time before he finds out the truth and you knew it, you werenβt really picking up on what the woman in front of you was saying, she talked about some wound on his lower abdomen that you had to take care of, you thanked the lady and got ready to leave.
The drive home was quite really quiet, βthe nurse said that you need help with a wound on you lower abdomen so itβs better if you stay at my placeβ you said breaking the silence βSβnot that serious I can do it myselfβ he said βand I donβt want to bother you or Liamβs fatherβ he added shortly after βactually Liamβs father and I donβt live together, in reality we never didβ you said looking over to Liam who was sleeping in the back seat, βoh, Iβm sorryβ he said almost whispering.
When you arrived home it was already late so you decided to put Liam to sleep. Once you closed the door you found Pete sitting on the sofa and looking around the apartment. βLay down, I need to check the wound on your lower abdomenβ you said getting close to him, βLiam looks so happy, you probably are a really good motherβ he said smiling at you. βYou know, Iβm trying my bestβ you said lifting his shirt βwhoa, slow down we havenβt seen each other in yearsβ he said laughing with you. After you medicated his wound you both decided to watch TV together and you couldnβt help but notice how Pete hadnβt changed even a bit since the last time you saw him he still looked as handsome as before.
The next few days went by quickly and all three of you had settled into a strange routine, Pete would help you around the house and he also offered to put Liam to bed.
βLiam is sleeping peacefullyβ said Pete entering the kitchen βthank you for helping me around the house, it seems like Liam really likes youβ you said turning around to face him, βthatβs the least I can do to make up for our breakup, I was really an asshole and I shouldβve listened to you, Iβm sorryβ he said getting closer to you. In that moment you realise that he really meant what he was saying and so you opened your arms to hug him. The hug was a minute too long, you could feel Pete's head buried in your neck, when you both broke off the hug you felt his lips pressing against yours and you gave in to the kiss, the kiss started turning into a make-out session, in that moment you realised that you really wanted him back but you also had to tell him the truth. βI need to tell you somethingβ you said panting after the kiss, βwhatβ he said smiling without knowing what it was yet to come βyou know when we broke up I was pregnant and Liam is your sonβ you said scared of his reaction, βwhy didnβt you tell me? I wouldβve stayedβ he said angrily pulling away from you βI donβt wanna talk about it right now, Iβll go sleepβ he said leaving the small room leaving you with tears in your eyes for the second time in a row.
After the fight you couldnβt sleep so you went to his room. βAre you awake? Can I come inβ you asked knocking on the door βyes come inβ when you opened the door you found him sitting on the bed looking at the door, βIβm sorry I didnβt told you the truth about Liam back then, I was scared you wouldβve left me, in this week I realised that you are the father that Liamβs deserve and that I still love you, I just want to try againβ you said crying getting closer to him on the bed, at first he didnβt said anything he just hugged you tightly βIβm sorry too, I overreacted, I still love you too and I want to make things work this timeβ he said before kissing you, in that moment you felt that everything was going to be alright.
