“Okay, thank you.” Her hands cover her face, I know she’s starting to worry about the what if’s. I bend and kiss the top of her head and follow the pharmacist to the till. Once I’ve paid, we head back to the truck in a kind of sombre mood.

Once we’re in the truck I pull her into my arms, “Darce, everything will be okay you know.”

“What if it’s not Adam? With everything else going on this is just something else to add to the huge plate of problems.”

“Hey, I’m here. I know everything seemed to move kind of quickly with us but I wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ll deal with everything together.”

“I’m not ready to be a parent, Adam. I have enough issues with my parents.” She tells me as she sighs deeply.

“You think I am? I can barely look after myself. I’m a Mummy’s boy through and through.” I tell her as she looks up to face me smirking.

“I always knew you were.”

“I’ll admit it like a man! I’m not proud.” A smile breaks out onto her face which in turn makes me smile because I know I’ve managed to lighten the mood. “Look, what will be, will be. We’ll cross the bridge when we get to it.” I move the hair from her eyes, “You don’t have to do anything by yourself anymore, okay?

I’m here for you to lean on no matter what.” I pull her into me. “It’s weird, a couple of months ago I didn’t even think I wanted a girlfriend but here we are and that changed the day I met you.”

I let her absorb everything and start the engine. I make the way towards her house but she’s still quiet. I turn off the engine, turn my whole body and sit against the door to face her.

“Darcy. You’re really quiet and kind of worrying me.” She picks up my hand and entwines her fingers with mine. I look at how much bigger my hand is to hers, she can fit hers inside mine.

She inches across the seat towards me after taking off her seatbelt and turns. Pulling me towards her, she presses her lips against mine as her hand moves to my cheek.

Her fingers scrape through my two days old stubble growth, her other hand drops mine to push into my hair as she controls our kiss. By the time we’re finished, my dick is rock hard and wanting to be set free to have a play too.

“Look what you’ve done now.”

“I’m sorry,” she says as the smirk takes up one side of her face.

“No, you’re not,” I say grinning widely.

“Are you coming in?”

“Not unless you’re gonna sort this out - no.” I cup my dick with my hand.

“Ahh come on,” pouting as she pleads with me. Being the sucker that I am, I can’t stop myself from agreeing.

“Come on then. I’ll get your bags.”

I grab Darcy’s shopping bags as she lets us in the house.

Walking straight to the living room, her Dad is sitting in an armchair with a bottle of water at the side of him, watching the telly. I take a seat on the sofa and wait for Darcy to come in.

“Hey Dad.” She kisses his cheek.

“Where were you last night?” He asks without taking his eyes off the telly.

“I stayed at Adam’s. He’d had a drink and there’s no way I was driving that monster.” Winking my eye at her she ignores me and tries to keep a straight face. “Do you need anything?”

“Nah, I’m good thanks.” He looks over at me next. “So… Adam.”

Oh god, I hope this isn’t one of those ‘what are your intentions with my daughter questions...I mean, what do I say to that? ‘Well last night we had sex for the first time and the condom broke and she could be pregnant. No that won’t go down very well...

“How did you and Darcy meet?” I let out the breath of relief that I’ve been holding to answer.

“I had to put my truck in your garage, I was having problems with it.”

“Yeah, the first time,” Darcy says just so I can hear her.
