DIDGE'S P.O.V "Night" Declan kissed me on the lips then leant down and kissed my belly, i instantly pushed him away and rolled over to turn the light off. "What's up?" Declan asked me through the darkness. "Nothing" I pretended to yawn, "I'm fine, just tired" i lied. "Bridget" Declan rubbed my arm, "Talk to me". I sighed, "I cant". "Didge we can deal with this pregnancy, same way we did the first time around" Declan told me. I squeezed my eyes shut to stop myself crying for the second time that day, then took a deep breath "I'm booked in for an abortion Dec". I felt Declan get off the bed and walk over to the light to turn it on again, "What?". "I'm not keeping our baby" i told him. He sighed and sat down on the bed next to me, "I was afraid of this". "Afraid of what Dec? it makes sence, Indy is not old enough to be a big sister, you're 19 i'm barely 18, we need a life before thinking about more kids" i snapped. "So thats it, just kill our own child because he or she doesnt fit into our plans for the future, how about you go into the nursery now, run a knife through our daughter, then you can do whatever the hell you want" Declan got worked up quickly, "You are NOT killing my child, either of them, we are a family, all four of us, we did not make a mistake in getting pregnant again ok?". "Declan, i CANT deal with another baby right now, Indy's keeping me on my feet all day as it is!" i practically shouted at him. "We have help!, we live with three of India's grandparents, i'm sure they'll help!" Declan was red in the face. "I dont want them too, these are my children, i'm meant to mother them not my parents" i said frustrated. "I'll be home more, even take Indy to work with me so you can rest, by the time the new ones born she'll be about 1 anyway" Declan said. "And where will that leave us Declan? a 20 year old, a 19 year old, two kids under 1, no jobs, live with our parents still" I heaved a frustrated sigh. "I dont see much difference then if we are a 20 year old, a 19 year old, and a 1 year old" Declan snapped. "What is going on here?" Rebecca walked in, "India is awake you guys are making such a huge racket". "Nothing, i'm going to sleep on the couch" Declan told Rebecca. After they left i rolled over and turned the lights off once more and thought "Abortion, Adoption, Keep the baby" over and over.

Poor Bridget, it is so hard for her to come to terms with it. I hope she will get thourgh her emotions. Declan was quite harsh. But i loved your update. I just really like your writing style. Thank you!!!

DECLAN'S P.O.V I sat at mum's bar, every now and again going to the fridge and getting a beer out for myself, they all knew me, well the ones that are working today, and know that i'm 19. Ringo walked in at some point and sat with me, i told him about being a father again, he seemed shocked but supportive. "So she's not letting you have a look in again?" Ringo asked. "She's sitting at home, Indy's with her, she wont talk to me, and is avoiding me til tomorrow" i said. "What's tomorrow" Ringo asked me. "The abortion" i squeezed the glass i was holding so hard that it cracked. "You cant let her do it" Ringo told me. "I cant force her to be a mum either" i sighed.
DIDGE'S P.O.V "He's trying to force me to be a mum again" I complained to Donna who was holding India. "No he just doesnt want to miss out on the opportunity to be a father" Donna told me. "He is a father, we only need one child" I said. "You only need one, but you have two now, in 9 months time you'll be holding a newborn baby and you'll be wondering how you ever considered abortion" Donna told me, "Isn't that how you felt about India when you held her for the first time?".
DECLAN'S P.O.V "She loved India from the first time she ever saw her" I sighed, "Why cant she feel the same way about this baby?". "She went through the same with with India though Dec, she was going to have an abortion, then she was going to adopt her out" Ringo reminded me. "but after all that she loves India, i think?" i got worried.
DIDGE'S P.O.V "Dec loves Indy, he'll make a great dad again, you'll make a great mum" Donna said to me. "Two is just too many" I said to her. "If you have an abortion i dont think Declan would ever speak to you again" Donna told me. I processed this and realised that it was the truth, although i never thought that i'd have more then one child, i wanted this one, if only to keep Declan and I together as a family. "I need to see Declan" I got up. "Yeah i'll mind Indy you go" Donna practically forced me out the door. "You sure?" i asked. "GO!" Donna pushed me out and closed the door.
DECLAN'S P.O.V "I need to see Bridget" I got up leaving Ringo at the bar alone.
DIDGE'S P.O.V I raced down the street and ran straight into my husband who was racing up the street.
DECLAN'S P.O.V Bridget ran into me, well that was easy. "Bridget" i held her by the shoulders, "Do you love India?". "Of course i do" Bridget said she looked taken aback. "So you will love our next child" I told her.
DIDGE'S P.O.V "Declan i want to keep this baby" I told him, "I dont want to loose you or India from my life, and its made me realise this baby is also a part of our lives now". Declan's face changed from concerned to elated, "We're keeping it?". "Yep, Peanut is as much a part of this family as we are" I told him. "Peanut?" Declan asked. "A new name, we cant use tadpole again can we?" i said. "I suppose not, wow we are having another baby" Declan grinned and patted my stomach, "Hey Peanut".

DIDGE’S P.O.V “It’s a girl!” the obstetrician yelled excitedly. I looked up at Declan who smiled leant down and kissed her then whispered “Thankyou”. “oh god” the obstetrician yelled and walked straight out of the room with our baby, just moments later another nurse came in and started prepping me for a room change to another room in the hospital. “Where’s our daughter?” I kept yelling but they wouldn’t answer.
I sat up in bed in cold shock from the nightmare I had just had, I could feel the sweat running down my back. India started screaming through the baby monitor so I got up to see her, I needed to see one of my daughters after the dream I just had, but from that moment on I knew that my baby was going to be a girl.
Next morning it was time to start school again, this time however we were taking India with us because Mum and Dad were on a holiday to Sydney to visit Riley, Rebecca and Paul were out wedding planning so we had no one to look after her. “She takes so much” Declan eyed the massive baby bag, pram and porta cot we had sitting in the lounge room. “mm I know, maybe we don’t need the porta cot, she can sleep in the pram” I picked up the cot and threw it aside. “That’s a little better” Declan looked at what we had left, “Does she really need so many nappies?”. “Declan….” I went to yell at him. “Yes I know how many times she needs a nappy change” Declan laughed at me, “Anyway I’ll go get Indy, you get breakfast”. “Dec, just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I have to eat 24/7” I sighed. “Yeah but your hungry” he told me. “Yeah I am…” I walked off to the kitchen.
“Why is she here?” Ringo asked us as Declan pushed the pram in. “Shhh!” I snapped, “She’s asleep”. “Ohh look mum and dad brought the baby in with them!” Justin teased from the other side of the room “Oh and mum’s up the duff again!”. “Who even says up the duff these days” Donna snapped. “Shut up ranga” Declan, Zeke and Ringo said at the same time.
“You two, my office” Fitzy indicated us. We walked over to his office and he held the door open for us so that we could get in with the pram. “Where’s Rebecca, Miranda and Steve?” Fitzy asked eying the pram. “Mum and dad are on holiday” I explained, “Rebecca and Paul are wedding planning”. “Mkay” Fitzy looked confused about what to do, “As long as she doesn’t disturb the classes your in she can stay”. “Thanks Fitzy” Declan smiled, “Oh she’s awake”. “Already!” I groaned, Declan reached in and picked her up. “Mkay you two have first period English with me so hurry up” Fitzy got up and started getting his books organised. Declan walked out with the baby but Fitzy stopped me. “Your pregnant again Bridget?” he asked. “Yes” I sighed nervously reminiscing the dream I’d had the previous night. “Congratulations” Dan smiled. “Thanks, better go, don’t want to be late for tutor group!” I said walking out.
TBC..

DECLAN'S P.O.V "No India" i tried telling my daughter who was sitting on my lap reaching for everything her little arms could grab. India looked up at me and laughed then tried to grab my nose. The people in my class were starting to stare now, a couple of the girls across the room mumbled that they'd do a better job with a baby then i do. "Please be good for daddy, class ends soon sweetheart i promise" i grabbed back India's arms as she tried to grab my book off the desk. "Bridget shouldnt have left her with him" one girl whispered to another. I got up ignoring Fitzy telling me to sit down again and walked over to her, "Excuse me?". "What do you want?" She asked. "I want to know what you just said about me, and i want you to say it to my face" i snapped. "Get real" She rolled her eyes and turned back to her friend. "Ok fine" I plonked my daughter on her lap, "You take care of Indy for the rest of the lesson". "No" The girl tried to hand her back. "If you think i'm such a horrible father then have a go at it yourself" i walked back and sat down, Ringo shot me a worried look and i shrugged, i kept a close eye on my daughter.

DECLAN'S P.O.V I looked up from the notes i was taking and there was my daughter smiling at me. "Just take her" the girl said. "No" i told her, "You thought you would make a better parent then i am, you can keep her til the bell" i sat back on the chair and made a face at India who giggled. "Alright i'm sorry, your a good dad, please take her now" the girl shoved the baby at me, i instantly knew why she wanted India away from her so badly, major major major nappy pong. "Come on gorgeous, Fitzy, can i go change her?" i picked up the nappy bag. "Yep" Fitzy didnt even look up from his notes, so i walked out. "Where am i meant to change you?" i wondered out loud walking into the mens toilets and discovering the lack of change tables. "Hey Dec" Fitzy followed me in, "I forgot to say, the disabled toilets have a bit of bench space, you'll have to change her there". "Ok thanks Fitzy" i walked out and into the disabled toilets. "All done" i pulled up the little pink pants India was wearing and sat her on my hip, the bell for lunch had just gone and i knew that Bridget would be lining up in the canteen soon for food so i headed there with India. "Hey have you got $10?" Bridget asked as i approached. "what do you need $10 for? didnt you have $10 this morning?" i yelped reaching into my pocket. "Yes but i spent all of that at recess remember?" she took India from me, "I'm so hungry!". "Here" i pushed a $20 note into her hand and added "Get me half of whatever you get please, i'll be outside with the gang, stares in here are getting to me". They were too, a couple of year seven girls were giggling at the sight of the three of us. I took India from Bridget and went out to the eating area where the gang was, Donna took India from my straight away and started playing with her, Sunny and Zeke were doing homework and Ringo seemed to be drowling over some random girls walking past, somehow without Donna knowing, i envied him, Bridget could see through walls, i doubt if i started doing the same thing now if she didnt come marching out of the canteen.
