True but Forbidden

Chapter 18- Yours Forever

Liam's POV

After we talked at breakfast that one day, I decided that maybe something could happen between us.
I had just bought a large bundle of gorgeous red roses and was on my way back home.
I finally pulled up and parked before picking up the roses and walking inside.
I started walking up the stairs before I was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Liam?" My mom called after me.
"Yeah mom?"
"Why do you have roses?"
I panicked for a moment before realizing the only way out of this.
"For you, of course."
"For me?" She asked, smiling.
I walked back down the stairs and held them out for her, kissing her on the cheek.
"I love you, mom." I said, handing her the roses.
"I love you too Liam." She said with a huge smile.
I almost felt bad that the flowers weren't actually meant for her, but I was glad that I gave them to her and was able to make her this happy, even if it meant I couldn't give them to Emma.
After my mom said thank you several times, she left to go put the flowers in a vase and I made my way back upstairs.
I started walking towards Emma's door.
Abort mission.
I paused for a moment before continuing towards her door and knocking.
"Come in." She called.
I pushed the door open slowly and sheepishly came in.
"Hey Emma." I said, suddenly very nervous.
"What's up Liam?" She asked quietly.
"Well..." I started, looking at the ground.
"I was wondering if you would uh," I said, and finally looked up at her before saying, "If you'd like to maybe go on a date with me."
She seemed a bit taken aback and for a moment, I started to regret ignoring the little voice in my head.
"Sure, that could be fun."
I was surprised, but I smiled back at her.
"Great, can I pick you up at 6 tonight?"
"I would like that." She said, smiling back at me.

Emma's POV

I started to get ready almost right after Liam asked me out. Even though I tried to not show my nervousness when he was still present, I was freaking out just a little.
I showered quickly and used my special shampoo so my hair would smell extra good.
I put on some more make up than usual with some eyeliner to accentuate my blue eyes and sliding on some lipstick.
I curled my hair into ringlets and pinned a few strands back with a bejeweled pin.
I rummaged through my closet to try and find something to wear and groaned when I didn't find anything I particularly liked.
Finally, I found a flowey red dress that went well with my make up and wondered where I had gotten it from.
I paired it with a pair of red heels before deciding black flats might be more sensible.
By the time I was spritzing on some perfume to finish getting ready, it was 5:45.
Within 5 minutes, Liam was knocking on my door and I opened it for him.
"You're early."
"Oh." He said scratching the back of his neck. "Do you need more time?"
"I'm teasing, Liam." I said with a smile.
I finally took a good look at him and he looked really cute.
He was wearing a form fitting black t shirt and dark jeans that made his eyes look even bluer.
He took a step closer and the smell of his cologne drifted over to me.
"Well, shall we?" He asked, stretching out his arm towards me and breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, of course." I said, taking his arm.
We quickly got in his car and pulled out of the driveway, but he pulled over a few miles away.
He reached into the back and pulled out a bundle of red roses.
"For you." He said, smiling.
"That's so sweet of you." I said, blushing. "Thanks."
He restarted the car and we continued driving.
"Where are we going?" I asked, finally realizing that I didn't know.
"It's a surprise." He said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Seriously?"
"Mhm."
I sat back in my seat and looked out the window, knowing that there was no point in trying to get him to tell me.
I was a bit tired and started to drift off to sleep as we drove in the comfortable silence.
I was jolted awake as the car stopped and I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful place.
For some reason, it seemed so familiar, but I couldn't place it.
"Where are we?" I asked, my eyes exploring the beautiful nature surrounding us. They slowly fell upon a glistening lake, clear blue in color.
"Don't you remember?" He asked me cautiously.
I just raised my eyebrow back at him in response.
"This is where we had our first kiss."
Now I remembered why this place seemed familiar. I had woken up in the back of Liam's car in this same place.
"I didn't know that." I blushed and looked down.
He lifted my chin and brought his lips to mine slowly and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
We both smiled and a burst of happiness emerged from within me, creating a large smile on my face.
From there, it was the most perfect first date anyone I could've ever have had.
He set up a picnic and as it started to get dark, he lit some candles.
We watched the most beautiful sunset and soon after, the sky turned dark blue and was filled with stars.
We went on several more dates over the next few weeks and we made our relationship official.

3 months later~

I was laying next to Liam on my bed, cuddling with him. His warmth surrounded me as he brought his arm over and used it to pulled me closer against him and kissed me on my neck.
I turned my head and body a little so I could see his face.
Even though we had that one night before we started dating, we hadn't done anything other than kissing since then.
I looked him in the eyes and leaned forward to kiss him.
He pulled back after a little and took a deep breathe.
"Emma, I love you." He said quietly.
"Wow, Liam..." I leaned forward and kissed him again before leaning back and smiling. "I love you too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 months later~

His body hovered over mine and he was breathing harshly.
"Are you sure?" He asked huskily.
I nodded and snaked my hands around his neck and knotted my fingers in his hair, pulling his face down to mine, his shirtless body pressing against me.
I stopped kissing him for a moment only to take off my own shirt.
I smiled at him and he unclipped my bra before leaning down to kiss me again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 months later~

I walked up to Liam's door and took in a deep breathe before knocking.
"Come in." His voice called.
When I walked in, he was playing a video game, but paused it when he saw it was me and came over to peck me on the cheek.
"Liam, we need to talk."
Suddenly, his mood changed.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I haven't gotten my period in two months." I said, biting my lip.
"Oh." He ran his hand through his hair, staring at me incredulously.
"Oh? That's all you have to say?"
"Have you taken the test yet?" He asked, ignoring my remark.
"No, but I brought one." I said, holding out the small bag containing the pregnancy test.
"Okay. Let's do it now."
He ushered me into the bathroom and I took out the test, biting my lip.
"Have you done it yet?" He called from the other side of the door.
"No."
I took it a deep breathe and took out the test.
"How about now?"
"No." I rolled my eyes exasperated.
Finally, I peed on the stick and washed my hands before I set the timer.
I opened the door and walked past him.
"So?" He questioned.
"So?" I asked back.
"What did it say?"
"I don't know yet."
"Oh."
There he goes again with that oh.
We heard the timer go off in the bathroom and started slowly walking over to it.
"What does this mean?" He asked, pointing at the plus sign on the pregnancy test.
I sat down in shock and started to cry.
I'm pretty sure he understood what was happening because he starting running his hands through his hair.
"Oh shit."
He sat down next to me and put his arm around me.
"Don't worry, I won't ever leave you."
He placed his hand on my stomach.
"I won't ever leave either of you."
I leaned my head onto his shoulder and snuggled up to him.
"I love you, Liam."
"I love you too."
