"What?" I whisper, completely in shock. "No. No, this isn't possible. This isn't possible at all! I'm too young to have a child! I'm too young to be a mother! How am I supposed to do this?"

 I begin to sob. Billie wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug. I let her hold me against her. 

"It's going to be okay, Brooke," Billie whispers. "I'm going to stay by your side, no matter what happens. I promise I won't leave you. I promise I'm going to help out with the child. You will not be alone through this."

"Thanks, Billie. I appreciate this so much. You really don't know how much this means to me."

"Of course. I would do anything for you. I would walk over a mountain of glass for you. I would get in a car crash for you and then crawl out to get back to you. I would jump out of an airplane, hit the ground, break every bone in my body, and get back to you with no issue at all. I would —"

"I get it," I reply with a laugh. "You'd literally do anything for me. And this is why I love you. Not just because you're my sister, but because you're the sister who's willing to risk her life for me."

"Exactly." She gives me a small smile. "I'm really glad to have you as my sister, Brooke. And I know you would do anything for me."

"I really would," I reply. "I one-hundred percent would do anything for you. I would even die for you."

"Don't go that far. You absolutely need to stay alive. Okay?"

I nod. "Okay, okay, fine. But if it absolutely comes to it, then I will die for you. Deal?"

She nods with a sigh. "Okay, fine."

We hug each other one more time.

Now I can't wait to become a mother.
