There are positives and negatives with your mum and dad being Victoria and David Beckham. Sometimes the negatives outweigh the positives but then again, the positives can outweigh the negatives.

You were the oldest out of all your siblings. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse. But you wouldn't have it any other way.

Even though you were the oldest, you weren't the first to do everything. Although you did a lot of things before your siblings there were only a few you didn't do and Brooklyn was the one who managed to do two of them.

One, get married, the other, have a baby.

You were doing media when you had gotten a call from your dad saying that Nicola Peltz, Brooklyns wife and your sister in law, had gone into labour.

"Y/n! Someones calling you." Katie shouted across the room.

"Cheers, McCabe." You said as you walked over to her, taking your phone as she handed it to you.

"Hello?" You answered, pressing the phone to your ear.

"Y/n, hey." The voice on the other end replied.

"Hey, dad." You smiled, "what's up?"

"Nicola has gone into labour, we're all heading to the hospital now."

"No way!" You grinned. "I can't get there at the moment, I've got to do some bits for media."

"I know, I just wanted to tell you."

"I can try and come after."

"Yeah, okay. Only if you can though."

"Yeah, I'll only be here for another couple hours I think."

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer."

"Alright, I might see you later, if not I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, have fun."

"Will do, bye."

"Bye."

"What's got you all smiley?" Leah asked as she jumped on your back.

"Wouldn't you like to know." You chuckled as you turned around to face Leah once you felt her slide off you. "Nicola has finally gone into labour."

"No way!"

"That's what I said."

"Are you going to see them?" Leah questioned.

"Yeah, do you want to come?"

"I think it should be just family today."

"Oh come on, you're practically family, I've known you all my life." You said, exaggerating the word 'all'.

"I shouldn't."

"You're coming, I need moral support."

"No you dont." Leah chuckled.

"It's been ages since I held a baby so I need your help."

"Fine, only if you're sure it's okay."

"Promise."

"Okay, are you going after you finish with media?"

"Yeah, is that okay?"

"Yeah."

"Good."

"Good."

"Oi, you two," Jen shouted, "stop gazing into eachothers eyes and do some interviews."

"Shut up, Beattie." Leah chuckled. "We weren't gazing into eachothers eyes."

"You wish though." Lotte piped up.

"In her dreams." Leah laughed as she bumped her shoulder into yours.

"Yeah right." You scoffed with a smile before the two of you joined the rest of the girls.

A couple of hours later and you had finally finished with all the interviews and photos. After gathering all your things you made your way to your car and waited for Leah. The defender wasn't far behind and she put her things on the backseat before joining you in the front.

"Sorry, I was talking to Jords."

"No problem," you smiled, "ready to go?"

"Yeah."

On the outside you seemed fine, well, you hoped so. But on the inside you felt a little green-eyed monster start to grow. You had nothing wrong with Leah and Jordan being friends but you wanted it to stay that way. Just friends. Nothing more.

You don't know why you've started to feel that way recently, being jealous, that is. But you just suspected that it was because you were best friends and not because you had feelings for Leah. Definitely not that.

Every time those feelings arose you were just as quick to push them back down, scolding yourself for thinking that way.

"You want the aux?" You asked.

"Yeah, your music taste is awful."

"Hey! Absolutely not, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Mhm, keep telling yourself that."

"Be nice to me or I'll kick you out onto the road."

"Okay." Leah chuckled as she put on her playlist.

Looking in your mirrors you made sure it was safe to reverse out of your spot. You placed your arm around the back of Leah's chair and looked over your shoulder and out of the back window, using one hand on the steering wheel to reverse.

Leah watched you carefully, the way your hand manoeuvred around the steering wheel effortlessly, or the way your turned head showed off your neck intoxicating her with your perfume.

Finally pulling out from your parking spot you made your way to the hospital, completely oblivious to Leah's thoughts running around her head and the way her cheeks flushed every time she looked at you.

"You alright?" You questioned as you noticed Leah was very quiet all of a sudden.

"Yeah, just tired."

"I can take you home if you want, you don't have to come if you don't want to."

"No, no, it's fine, I promise."

"Why don't you try and get a couple minutes of sleep? I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Yeah, okay."

It took a little while for Leah to get to sleep especially with the thoughts of you running around her head but once she did you turned the music down and drove a little slower, trying to maximise the time she got asleep.

It was around twenty-five minutes later when you arrived at the hospital and it took you another five minutes to find somewhere to park.

Once you found a space to park you waited a little while for Leah to wake up, but since she didn't wake up on her own you gently shook her awake.

"Leah," you whispered, "we're here."

Groaning, Leah got out of her somewhat comfortable position and looked at you with half closed eyes making you chuckle.

"Morning." You joked.

"Have you heard anything from your parents or Brooklyn?" Leah asked as she rubbed her eyes, trying to mentally wake herself up.

"Yeah, my dad texted me saying Nicola gave birth around ten minutes ago."

"What did she have?"

"Let's go find out." You smiled as you opened your car door and walked over to the passenger side to open Leah's door.

"Thank you."

As the two of you walked into the hospital you saw a mass amount of people look at you either noticing who you both are or the fact they know who your parents are.

"Ignore them." You mumble, wrapping an arm around Leah's waist as you spotted a group of men giving the two of you dodgy looks.

You walked up to the front desk and waited till it was your turn.

"How can I help you?" The lady asked at the desk.

"Yeah, hi, we're here for Brooklyn Beckham." You said.

"Are you family?"

"Yeah, he's my brother."

"Okay, well the lady next to you doesn't look like you."

"So?"

"She won't be allowed up if she's not family."

"Alright, she's my wife, that's family, right?"

"Yeah-"

"Okay, so let us up." You said, getting a little impatient.

"Hey," Leah whispered, placing a hand on your shoulder, "calm down."

"Sorry."

"You'll be allowed up but you'll have to wait till someone can get you."

"Or-" You started but you were cut off by Leah taking a hold of your hand and intertwining your fingers and speaking up instead.

"Thank you, do you know how long we'll have to wait?"

"Not too long."

"Okay, thank you." Leah smiled as she dragged you away from the lady at the desk and into the waiting room.

"I'll text my dad asking what room they are in because I cannot be bothered to wait." You mumbled.

"Just sit down." Leah said, pushing you into a chair.

"Where are you going to sit?" You asked, looking up at Leah noticing there were no spare chairs.

Looking around her, Leah shrugged before sitting on your lap.

"I'm your wife, right?" Leah smirked, placing an arm around your shoulders, making herself comfortable.

"Yeah, sorry about that." You grimaced, "I said it so she would let us up."

"I know, we've just got to make it believable now." Leah whispered as she nodded her head to the lady at the desk who was looking at the two of you intently.

"Alright then, wifey." You chuckled as you placed your hand on her thigh.

The two of you sat and waited for someone to come down. Whilst you tried to kill some time the two of you were scrolling through instagram on your phone laughing at the occasional post or comment.

About five minutes passed when a doctor came down and called out Brooklyns name signalling for you two to get up. Leah got up first and handed your phone back to you.

You followed the doctor into the elevator and to the room where your brother and his wife were. Going all the way up to the fifth floor and along to one of the very end rooms you were finally ready to see your niece or nephew.

"I'm scared." You whispered to Leah.

"How come?"

"I haven't held a baby since Harper was born and that was ages ago."

"Really?"

"Yeah, like what if I drop them or I hold them the wrong way-"

"You won't drop them, you're going to be fine, I promise. Everyone will be there to help you."

"Okay." You said, taking a deep breath in before opening the door and making your way into the room.

As soon as you set eyes on the newest addition to the family, you felt all your worries dissipate. You congratulated Brooklyn and Nicola before you silently asked if you could hold their baby.

"What's their name?" You asked as Brooklyn placed his child in your arms.

"He's called Charlie." Nicola smiled, looking very tired and worn out.

"Hey Charlie." You whispered, looking down at the tiny person in your arms.

You sat down next to Leah and the two of you looked at your nephew in awe.

"I told you, you wouldn't drop them." Leah said quietly as she leaned her head on your shoulder.

"So far so good." You joked. "You want to hold him?"

"Can I?" Leah asked as she looked up at you and at Brooklyn, he gave her a gentle nod and you carefully handed Charlie over to her.

Placing your arm around Leah's waist you look over her shoulder as Charlie held onto your finger with the tiny grip he has.

You've never felt more content in all your life and you wished that one day you would have a baby of your own but you'll leave that to your brother for now.

Snapping back into reality, the sound of Charlie's cries remind you why you don't want kids as of now.

Leah handed Charlie back to Nicola and went around asking if anyone wanted something to eat or drink.

"I'll come with you." You said as you stood up and made your way to the door.

"Stay here." Leah smiled. "I'll be fine, you need to spend time with your family."

"You sure?"

"Promise, if I'm not back in ten minutes then I may be dead." Leah joked.

"Alright." You chuckled as you held the door open for Leah. "See if they've got any doritos."

"Will do." Leah said as she walked down the hall.

"You're in deep." Cruz said as you sat down beside him.

"What?"

"You like her." Romeo joined in.

"Of course I do, she's my best friend."

"Not like that," Cruz laughed. "You like like her."

"Romantically." Romeo added.

"And how do you two know? You're both practically six."

"We see the way you look at her."

"And how do I look at her?"

"Like you're in love." Brooklyn said.

"Great, you're all ganging up on me." You groaned, making your way over to harper. "Please tell me you're on my side, harps?"

"You're in love." Harper giggled, dragging out the 'o' in love.

"I'm not." You said. "I mean, she's my best friend."

"Have you seriously not watched a single episode of Friends?" Cruz mumbled.

"What's Friends got to do with me being in love with Leah?"

"Woah, you said it, not me."

"I didnt-" You stopped yourself. "Oh my god."

You walked backwards till you sat back down next to Cruz.

"Wait hold on, I still have no idea how my situation relates to friends."

"Monica and Chandler." Romeo said.

"But we dont live in New York, we havent had sex in London to then fly back to New York to continue having sex and-"

"Cruz just means you are similar as you are best friends and to hopefully become lovers."

"That's a shit example." You mumbled. "Your movie and series trivia needs a little boost."

"You get what I mean though." Cruz said.

"What do I do?"

"Tell her your feelings." Your mum said as she gave you a knowing smile.

"What if it ruins our friendship?"

"It wont, now go find her and tell her."

"Yeah, okay." You said, hyping yourself up as you looked back at your brothers before walking to where you saw Leah wander off to.

As you walked through many hallways and turned many corners you finally saw Leah making some coffee, her arms filled with snacks.

You made your way towards her when you noticed a guy from earlier, one of the blokes who gave the two of you horrid looks.

"Come on sweetheart, why don't you-"

"Let's not go there." You said as you stood beside Leah, gently pushing her so she was behind you.

"It's just a bit of fun, mate." The guy said.

You could tell he was drunk from the way he swayed from side to side or the fact he had managed to smuggle a beer bottle into a hospital.

"I'm not your mate, so back up and go back to wherever you were originally."

"Where's the fun in that? I want to treat the pretty lady to a good time."

"If you couldn't tell, she doesn't want to have a 'good time' with you as she'll have a better one with me. So leave."

"Ballsy, why don't you walk away and leave us alone, huh?"

"Okay, bye." You said as you placed your hand on the small of Leah's back and led her down the hall.

"That's not what I meant." The guy shouted as he ran up to you and tried to swing at your head.

"Alright, why don't we just calm down?" You grunted as you ducked and weaved away from the man.

Whilst you were trying to dodge the guy he used his beer bottle and swung his arm haphazardly till it connected to the side of your face.

It felt as if the world was moving in slow motion, you didn't fall down, staying planted in your spot, looking up at the man in front of you.

You felt the blood trickle down the side of your head and you straightened yourself back up. Your right hand touched the cut on the side of your head whilst your left pushed Leah away from the two of you.

Luckily enough, before you could do anything stupid, a couple of security guards came rushing over and tackled the drunk to the floor.

"Are you okay?" Leah rushed out as she dropped everything on the floor and cupped your face in her hands.

"Yeah, are you? He didn't touch you did he?" You asked as you held onto Leah's waist, looking her over to see if she had any injuries herself.

"I'm fine, but you're not. You need to see a doctor."

"It's just a scratch." You shrugged.

"Even so, I think you should."

"Alright, but you're coming with me. I'm not leaving you alone."

Nodding, Leah took you through the hospital and back to the front desk, on your way a doctor came out of a room and ushered you both to follow her.

Doing as told you were taken into another room where they sat you down on a bed, preparing the equipment needed.

"How did this happen?" The lady asked as she sterilised a needle and thread.

"Some drunk." You mumbled. "You must have more important people to attend to, you don't need to worry about me."

"They can wait."

Whilst the lady stitched your cut back up, Leah held your hand the whole way through. Squeezing it every so often to make sure you were alright.

Once you were finished you asked if Leah could get either Cruz or Romeo. She was reluctant to leave you but nodded nethertheless.

"Before you go to sleep you'll need to rewrap your bandages as well as clean your stitches." The doctor said.

"What are the steps?" You asked, having no idea what to do when you get home.

"There's not many, just a couple."

"Could you write them down?"

"Of course."

"Here." You said as you handed her your phone with the notes app open.

Having all the steps down, the lady handed your phone back to you. Unbeknownst to you, Leah was watching the whole interaction from the door with Cruz beside her, giving a knowing look.

Walking back into the room, Leah was followed by Cruz.

"You'll need someone to stay with, just for the night. They'll be there if something happens although it's unlikely anything will." The lady said.

"I can stay with you." Leah said as she walked over to you in a protective sort of manner, giving the evils to the doctor beside you.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I don't want anything else to happen."

"Okay."

"Do you have any more questions?" The doctor asked.

"No, we should be good." Leah smiled as she helped you up and out of the room, Cruz trailing behind trying not to laugh.

You managed to thank the lady before Leah pulled you down the hallway.

"What did you need me for?" Cruz questioned as he walked beside you.

"I didn't want mum or dad, and especially Harper to see me like this so I was wondering if you could tell them that I was going to go back home?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Thanks. I'll see you soon, yeah?" You said as you gave your brother a hug.

"Definitely."

"Oh tell Brooklyn and Nicola, I am happy for them."

"Will do."

"Okay, love you."

"Love you too, have a safe drive home."

Giving Cruz one last hug, you finally started to make your way out the hospital.

"Let me drive." Leah said as she tried to take your keys from your hand.

"Nope. I'm fine."

"I'm driving." Leah stated as she stood in front of the driver's side door.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"You got the keys?"

"No-"

"Then you're not driving, you're not even insured on my car."

"For Christ sake, y/n. Let me drive."

"No chance, you want the keys, come get them." You teased as you held your keys above your head.

Leah jumped up and nearly took a hold of them but you moved your hand out of the way just in time.

Smirking, you walked away from her a little and dangled your keys before putting them down the front of your joggers.

"Y/n!"

"Come get them then." You chuckled.

"That's gross."

"Let me drive then."

"I hate you." Leah mumbled as she walked over to you, standing right in front of you.

Her fingers traced the elastic of your joggers slipping underneath them slightly.

Thinking she would actually grab the keys made your heart rate speed up and Leah noticed the hitch in your breath and increased breathing.

"In your dreams." Leah whispered against your ear before pulling away and getting in the passenger side of your car.

"God." You groaned as you leaned your head back and looked up at the sky, trying to calm yourself down.

Finally sitting in the driver's seat you notice Leah unable to contain her laughter.

"I hate you."

"Mhm, just drive."

Doing as told you pulled out of your parking space and made your way back to your apartment.

Leah put on her playlist again and the two of you were singing the songs at the top of your lungs.

Once you finally got back to your apartment you let Leah go in before you and you both made your way to the kitchen.

"Do you want to get take out or do you want to make something?" You asked as you looked through your fridge.

"Take out please." Leah smiled, hopping onto your kitchen counter.

"Coming right up." You said as you got your phone out and went on to just eat.

It only took a couple of minutes for the food to arrive and you both were quick to sit down on your sofa and eat the lot.

After you had finished your food the two of you cuddled up on the sofa and put on a movie, mamma mia to be exact.

You both were singing all the songs, trying to recreate them at one point before you both decided that you should head to bed.

"So what did the lady tell you to do with your head?" Leah asked as she followed you into your room and sat down on the edge of your bed whilst you went into your ensuite to get your little first aid kit.

"I don't actually remember." You replied, looking through your cupboards finally finding what you were looking for.

"Why don't you just text her?" Leah said as you came back into your bedroom.

"What?"

"You got her number, didnt you?" Leah questioned, her voice coming out more harsh than she intended to.

"No? She just put the steps down on the notes app."

"Oh."

"Why? Were you jealous, Williamson?"

"Not at all." Leah said as she looked down at her lap trying to hide the fact her cheeks were a little red out of embarrassment.

"You so were." You chuckled. "You love me."

"Shut up and sit down so I can clean your cut."

"Yes ma'am." You mumbled as you leaned back on your bed with your head against the headboard.

Leah sat beside you as she got all of the things ready. Gently, Leah placed her hand underneath your chin making you look up at her so she could have better access to the cut.

"This may hurt a little." Leah said so quietly it almost came out as a whisper. She poured antiseptic over the wound, your back arching off the bed slightly and she gently pressed you back onto the mattress.

"Stop moving."

She used a wipe and dabbed the cut cautiously as if she would hurt you any more. Letting out a loud 'ow' caused Leah to pull away from you.

You let out a laugh after seeing her reaction making Leah look back at you with a very unimpressed face.

"I'm sorry." You said as your laughter died down. "You just looked so concentrated."

"You're hilarious." Leah said sarcastically as she went back to cleaning your cut but her little smile didn't go unnoticed by you.

"It did actually hurt though."

"I'll do it again if you're not careful."

"You wouldn't dare."

Smiling a little Leah dabbed the cut just a little harder and you let out a pained groan.

"I had too, sorry." Leah chuckled.

"You enjoying me being in pain?"

"Just a little bit." Leah smiled as she put away the wipes and looked for another bandage.

"You gonna patch me up Doctor Williamson?" You chuckled as you watched Leah go through the first aid kit.

"Shush." Leah smiled, finally finding what she was looking for.

Again, you decided to mess around and started to wiggle your head so it was borderline impossible to place a bandage on your head.

"Come on, y/n. You're not making this easy for me."

"That's the point, Williamson."

What you didn't expect was for Leah to sit in your lap and tilt your head down so you were looking directly into her eyes.

Leah placed the bandage over your cut but still stayed on your lap. Your hands found themselves resting on her hips so she didn't fall off.

There was a beat of silence between you two but you both didn't mind it, in fact you relished in it.

"You're blushing." You whispered as you looked between Leah's eyes and lips.

"I'm just a little hot, that's all" Leah whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Mhm." Leah hummed as she shifted on your lap, looking down.

"Look at me." You said softly. "Leah, look at me."

She didn't listen to you and she kept her gaze on her fingers on her lap, in between the both of you. You moved your right hand from her waist and used it to tilt Leah's head up to make her look at you.

After a moment of silence, you pressed your lips against hers. The sudden impact had stunned Leah, her breath catching in her throat.

Her eyes were blown wide and she didn't know what to do with herself. Her brain started to register what was going on and she finally kissed you back, wrapping her hands around your shoulders.

You both sighed contently into the kiss. Easily getting lost in each other's presence.

Butterflies fluttered all around in your stomach as the kiss went from tender to heated in a matter of seconds.

Leah's heart was pumping out of her chest at the feel of your lips on hers. Her cheeks were burning and she could feel the joy bubbling up inside her.

She tangled her hands into your hair and you rested one hand on the side of her face whilst the other held her waist.

When the need for air became a problem you slowly pulled away from the kiss and you rested your forehead against Leah's. Both your breaths in tandem with each other's.

After calming down a little you both let out small chuckles, not quite believing what just happened.

"There's no one like you, Williamson." You smiled and Leah felt her cheeks grow a crimson colour.

"I really like you, y/n." Leah whispered breathlessly.

"I really like you too, more than you can ever imagine." You said softly.

You cupped her flushed cheek and brushed your thumb over her cheekbone. Leah's eyes fluttered shut as she leaned into your touch. A small smile adorning her face.

Due to the closeness of the two of you, both your faces barely an inch away from each other, you could see every intricate detail on her face.

You admired her for a little while before you dived back in for a second kiss which had the both of you smiling into.

You ended the kiss, feeling your lungs begging for some air gaining a soft wine of protest from Leah. The two of you looked into eachothers eyes just enjoying the moment you were in.

"Do you want some pyjamas?" You asked as Leah got off your lap and sat beside you.

"Please." Leah smiled as she watched you get up and rummage around your draws trying to find an old t-shirt and some joggers for Leah to wear.

"Are these okay?" You asked as you held up a white t-shirt and some black Nike joggers you found at the bottom of your draw.

"Yeah, thank you."

Leah went into your bathroom to get changed and you quickly got changed in your room. You had just about put your top on when Leah opened the door, managing to see your abdomen before the t-shirt fell over it.

Your clothes were a little big on Leah but she didn't mind it as they were comfortable and smelt like you.

"What?" Leah asked softly as she placed her clothes on your dresser.

"Nothing," you smiled, "you look better in my clothes."

"How cheesy."

"Ha ha ha." You chuckled as you got up and walked into your bathroom with her. Looking through your cupboard once again you found a spare toothbrush and handed it to Leah.

"Here's your toothbrush ma'am"

"Thank you." Leah smiled as she took it from you and waited for you to put some toothpaste on it before the two of you cleaned your teeth.

After you both finished up in the bathroom, doing your nightly routines, you walked back into the bedroom.

Dramatically flopping onto your bed with style you got underneath the covers and held your arms out, signalling for Leah to come cuddle up with you.

Leah happily obliged and she got into bed, snuggling up into your side. She rested her head in the crook of your neck, your perfume flooded her senses. Her breath making goosebumps rise all over your skin as she cuddled herself into you more.

Chuckling to yourself you felt Leah smile into your neck once she was finally comfortable.

"Goodnight, love." You whispered as you gently stroked your hand up and down Leah's back, making small patterns every so often.

"Goodnight." Leah hummed contently as she soon drifted off to sleep, her hand intertwined with yours. With you following and falling asleep not long after Leah did.
