Sophie’s POV

I was bored. Like really fucking bored.

I didn’t have to work until later, Annie was out with her mum who had come over to visit and they were going baby shopping (not that Annie had enough stuff already or anything with only a month left until baby Fuentes is here), and I’d cleaned the flat from top to bottom. Mike was away on tour and I had nothing to do.

So here I was being bored.

The TV was playing some old film from the 30’s that I didn’t know the name of, when my laptop started making the Skype noise and I saw my mum’s name flash up, I pressed enter and my mum’s face filled the screen.

“Hey sweetie!” her British accent filled the quiet room as I rushed to put the film on mute. I’d missed the sound of my mums voice. Moving out here had been harder than I thought. I was a mummy’s girl, and I missed her a lot.

“Hi mum, how’re you?” I said, a smile spreading across my face as I spoke to my mum.

“I’m good, I was just checking up on you,” she explained, “I know you get lonely when Mike’s away.” She winked at me, and I rolled my eyes.

“I’m not lonely mum, just bored,” I explained.

“Have you cleaned things?” she laughed.

“Everything.”

“God you must be bored,” she teased as I scoffed. I was tidy...sort of.

“Annie’s out with her mum baby shopping...again,” I sighed.

“How is Annie? She keeping herself rested and everything?”

“Yeah, she’s more bored than me, she doesn’t even have work to look forward to anymore.
Plus she’s stressing that Vic’s not going to get back in time for the baby’s birth,” I sighed again.

“And what about you? Have you come to a decision about the venue or country you’re going to finally get married?” she asked me sounding stressed. I know she wasn’t angry or anything with me, she was worried. She had every right to be.

“Mike’s not being very communicative when it comes to wedding decisions. Every time I ask him about it he says “whatever you want”, but I don’t want the wedding to be down to every decision I make, I want it to be every decision WE make. Our relationship has always been a product of teamwork and communication, now I don’t know what it is. I get that he’s busy with the band, I’ve always understood that, but they’re only doing little tours at the moment because of Annie and Vic. They’ve not got another album coming up for a while, and Vic doesn’t plan on properly getting down and start writing until after the summer. It seems like Mike just doesn’t want to marry me,” I confided in my mum. I avoided looking at the screen, for some reason I was feeling ashamed.

“Sweetheart, it sounds like Mike’s having second thoughts about marriage in general not marriage to you. Getting married is a big step, and on top of relationship pressures he’s got band pressures and probably family pressures. He wants to spend the rest of his life with you Soph, any idiot can see that, but marriage is daunting, and Mike probably hates the idea of being tied down forever. Marriage is kinda final, and he knows once you guys get married you’ll start talking about a family. The guy’s only 25, that stuff is scary for him. He’ll want to be there 100 percent for you and the kids when that comes around but he won’t be able to with Pierce The Veil. That’s not what he wants.” I thought about it for a moment, I wanted to believe her I did, but I couldn’t help but doubt her. She hadn’t seen how he was being with me.

“All I want right now is to marry him mum; I don’t want to start talking about starting a family because even I’m not ready for that kind of thing. If he doesn’t want kids in the future then I will be willing to give that up, all I want is him.” I just wasn’t sure he felt the same. He’d been distancing himself from me and it felt like he didn’t want to get married any more.

“I don’t believe you Sophie. You’ll realise when Annie has her baby that you yourself want that. You’ll see Mike around them and you won’t be able to help feeling like he would be an amazing father, you won’t be able to help comparing Vic to Mike and see how they act around the baby. You’ll realise that you want what Annie and Vic will have. Giving that up won’t be as easy as I think you think it’ll be, and I think you’re lying to everyone, yourself and definitely Mike if you think you’ll be ok being childless for the rest of your life.”

“Mike does want kids, just not yet. I understand that, because I don’t want them just yet. I’m young and I haven’t lived my life to the full yet and neither has he. Annie and Vic are at that point in their relationship but me and Mike are just not there yet.” I wasn’t sure Mike did want kids, he always told me he did, but he’d been very vague about when, and more recently it seemed he was becoming less interested in the idea. Maybe he did want kids; maybe he just didn’t want them with me.

“I understand that Sophie but just promise me you’ll talk to Mike about it? You deserve the world and if he’s not giving you that then maybe you need to start finding out why,” she said, her worry blatant on her features. I knew she was right, but the idea of losing Mike was enough to set me off crying, but I fought it. I knew it would only upset my mum if she saw me crying and she couldn’t do anything about it.

“I know mum, I just can’t lose him.”

“Sweetheart you won’t lose him, he’s just afraid,” my mum smiled sadly to me.

“I don’t want him to be though,” I whispered, my fear obvious in my voice.

“I know sweetheart.”

My phone went off beside me signalling Annie was calling; I slid it across to reject it, not wanting to interrupt my conversation with my mum.

“Who was that?” my mum asked curiously.

“Annie, she’ll keep calling if it’s an emergency but her mum’s with her so it won’t be a problem.”

“When’s she due did you say?”

“In about a month, that’s why Helen’s over here. She’s staying until a couple of weeks after the baby’s born to help her.”

“I wish I could come and visit you so soon after it’s born. You know how much I love babies,” her eyes lighting up just talking about babies.

“You know you could come out if you wanted, I’ll pay for you to come,” I offered hopefully. I hadn’t seen my mum since New Year and I missed her like crazy; she was one of my best friends and moving away from her had been the hardest decision of my life, but she understood I did it for me and she couldn’t hold me back for that. I really just needed my mum, more now than I possibly ever had in my life. I was struggling to keep it together. Annie had been a big help in planning the wedding, but with the baby on the way she wouldn’t be able to help me for much longer. She’d be busy with her own family, and I’d be on my own. Steph and Jess would help when they could, but they had their own lives. Mal would help, but sometimes I wondered about the sanity of her and I wasn’t sure she’d be that much of a help, not that I didn’t love her. I did . She was just very erratic at times. Perfect for Casey.

“I couldn’t ask that of you Sophie, you know that,” my mum replied.

“Mum you know I wouldn’t offer if I couldn’t afford it.” The truth was I kind of had more money than I knew what to do with. The bar was really taking off, on top of the fact Mike insisted that his money was my money.

“I’ll think about it sweetie, but right now I have to go get ready for work.”

“Bye mum, I love you,” I said my goodbyes, saddened because who knew when I would speak to her again.

“I love you too sweetie, and remember: do the right thing,” she smiled sadly at me through the screen.

“I will do, bye,” and with that the screen went black just as my phone rang again, signalling Annie was calling again.

“Hey, sorry I didn’t pick up; I was talking to my mum. What did you want?” I breathed out in a hurry.

“I need you to come over now Soph, I need you to take me to the hospital,” she hurried out down the phone.

“What? Why? What’s wrong?” I asked panicking now.

“My mum’s gone to the store and she’s not picking up her phone,” she explained, though her breathing seemed out of sorts.

“Why do you need to go to the hospital Annie?” I practically screamed down the phone, my heart speeding up.

“The baby’s coming.”

Notes

Well let the drama begin!

Mike and Sophie have got relationship problems, which I promise I'm gonna work with! And Annie's got a few issues going on as well, so hopefully it's enough to fill your need and I promise there will be more PTV proper action soon, but the story is just taking off.

Thanks guys for your support :)
