#topboy

After sitting in prison for six months Jamie decided to use his savings and move Stef and Aaron out the ends. You never imagined living like this in your mid twenties, with a boyfriend shotting and his two brothers who regarded him as a father figure. No part of it felt forced. Aaron was responsible and Stef made you smile regularly, there were things you didn't like but they weren't dealbreakers. You look over at Jamie as he drives you home from the shops and reach over to admire his fresh trim.

“You look nice babe” you flirt.

“Do I?” he asks, making you smile.

“Somethings different, can't put my finger on it” you tease.

“It’s probably that pre-pound town glow” he teases back and you smack him playfully.

“Dickhead” you laugh.

“It’s all youre when we get in” he jokes, lately he’s been around more than usual and you've been having more sex than usual. It's a change you've been enjoying.

“No it's not. I told Stef and Aaron we could do a family film night.” you explain.

Jamie sighs, “They won't be back for a bit we can be quick”

You smile at his neediness. “I have to set up, you know Stef and Aaron like different flavours of popcorn”

“You know you're not their maid.” Jamie counters.

“Jamie, I cook the least next to you and they clean up after themselves. I can make them popcorn.” you snap and he holds his hands up in surrender.

“Make me something too?” he asks.

“Anything, or course” you smile.

“It’ll take long” he warns.

“Jamie, shut up. I said I'll do it for you okay you big baby” you laugh getting into the driveway. Jamie helps you carry in the groceries. It takes a while and you begin packing away things and loading the fridge.

“How are you for money, I know this ain't cheap” Jamie asks being a help.

“I’m good.”

“Nah, i'll leave some P’s on the nightstand for you and we can go to Harrods next week” he says, always making you a priority.

“Jamie” you protest the money isnt why you're here. You love him.

“Don't Jaime me baby” he says.

“Fine i’ll go get another bag that I can pawn if shit hits the fan again”

“Nothings hitting the fan,” he assures and you reach into the shopping bag to find the box of condoms you purchased.

“Can you put these in the bedroom?” you ask.

“Give them to Aaron” Jamie suggests.

“You said you were almost out so I bought some,” you remind.

“I’m not seeing anyone else, neither are you. Were solid I don't think I need to strap up”

“Jamie, I’m not on the pill” you remind him.

“Thought you were doing natural tracking?” he asks so in tune with your body's schedules and cycles.

“I am but Jamie, you can't keep your hands off of me - we will get pregnant” you explain.

“I know,” he says casually, taking off his jumper. Your brows bunch as you look him over.

“What?” You question.

“If I don't strap up you'll get pregnant” he affirms.

“Babe”

“This house has six bedrooms, that's more than enough space for a little one.” Jamie says.

“When did you decide this?” You ask unsure whether to be excited, terrified or upset.

“Don’t get loud luv, it's your fault.”

You scoff “My fault?”

“You're a natural. I see how you look after Stef, how you take care of me and I love you - so why not?” he asks.

“Jamie, are you serious?” you ask sceptical.

“Yes” he says, tucking your hair behind your ear. “Besides you just told me you would make me something even if it takes long. Bun in the oven takes about ten months right?” he says, winking.

“A baby?” You ask nearly hysterically with laughter.

“Our child” he specifies being serious. “My bloodline, you know I'll be a great dad and I know you'll be an amazing mum. My brothers will help out, your mum is welcome to stay over and help you recover after the birth but I'm serious.” he explains having thought it all through. He could picture you with the baby bump, the look of you waddling around, rubbing your feet, attending appointments, seeing the sonogram pictures, arguing over names. Sleepless nights and seeing his son or daughter in his arms. Knowing there is another piece of him in this world. Babies brought happiness to his household and he enjoyed Stef as a baby, his own child wouldn't be any different.

“Jamie, I'd need you to be around more” you reason.

“When have you called and I have not come?” he asks, holding your waist.

“Never” you admit and he smiles, making you follow suit.

“I’ll be daddy for real, so you'll have to stop calling me that. The kid will be confused” he jokes.

“I'll think about it”

“Well tonight’s a low probability night right? So we can practise” Jamie smiles.

You don't even have time to process as Stef and Aaron come in.

“Hey” you smile starting on the popcorn after being railroaded.

“Hey” Stef smiles.

“I’m running a little behind if you guys want to shower first” you offer.

“Nah, they can help,” Jamie says. “We can all help” he corrects once you glare at him. His brothers laugh. Stef reaches in the bag and takes out the condoms.

“Uh” he says uncomfortably, mistaking the contents of the bag for groceries.

“Those are for Aaron” Jamie says without missing a beat. “Be safe with Abby” he adds.

The kitchen smells like the cinema in no time and everyone pitches in. You gather around the tv to watch something wholesome and light hearted. You and Jamie tucked off into your own corner of the sectional. Jamie pushes Stef away from you everytime he tries to get close. When the film is finished the boys clean up letting you decompress from the day. When you get out of the shower you see Jamie ready for bed.

“So, I’ve been doing some reading. What should we practise for? A girl or a boy?” he asks, being relentless.

“Context” you ask, putting your hair up.

“You usually like the boy positions” he says, coming in for a kiss and making you laugh.

“So, I’m going to be even more outnumbered,” you laugh.

“Girl can be number two” he says, making you laugh because you haven't even agreed to number one.

— Don't forget to let me know how you feel about this one or the new season.
