Thinking back on it now, it seems like a lifetime ago. The las thing I could remember about that day was Calum leaving without saying goodbye. Once I realized that us going our spereate ways was probably for the best I moved on. I had moved to London and decided to go study abraod at a Uni in Cambrige. So now, I'm living in Seattle, I know, what a change from LA huh. I occasionally take a road-trip down there, but some part of me really loves the rain and the city. It was weird, sometimes I would have intermittent memories of Calum and I, but then they would dissipate. Today had brought back a heap of memories since I was cleaning out a room in my new home, making space for a new addition to my family. "What's that?" My husband asked taking a seat next to me and snaking his arm around my back. "Just an old photo album." I shrugged smiling at the memories that were captured. It's funny if you think about it, all these memories, feelings, and even smells can come back to you with one trigger of some sort of memory. "Don't work too hard, I wan't little Noah to be okay."

"Noah? How do you know it's gonna be a boy?" I quizzed cocking an eyebrow at him.

"I know because I always get what I want."

"Oh yeah? And what if it's a girl. What's her name gonna be?"

"Dale."

"Dale? As in Dale Crover from Nirvana?"

"Yeah." My husband smiled cheekily.

"Why don't we just move to LA if it's a girl and her name is going to be something so deep and twisted as Dale."

"Fine, what kind of name did you have in mind?"

"I was thinking like Quinn or Jade."

"Mhm, no, I think Jade's out, I had an ex-girlfirend named Jade."

"You had a lot of ex-girlfriends." I retorted making both my husband and I laugh. He kissed my cheek and went off into the kitchen to make some dinner. I sat there looking out the window and kept trying to replay what had happened in past. I knew it wasn't good to do that, but I couldn't help myself. I kept thinking what if I had done something different. What if I hadn't had gone to London, or Calum would've wken me up, or if I hadn't met and befriended Kayliegh, or even more different, what if Calum and I hadn't even done what we did back in high school. My thoughts were soon broken when my husband came back into the room and told me that dinner was ready. I was lucky. I sat there in a beautiful home, with a baby on the way, and the most amazing man sitting right in front of me.
Life is a lot like a roller-coaster. There are moment that are gonna make your stomach flutter, and are gonna make you feel like you're on top of the world, but then there's moments where you're going to hit the bottom of the rollercoaster, but there is eventually going to be an up, until the ride ends. So right now, I'm living in the moment, being here pregnant and happily married to Calum.
