Caitlyn's POV
It all happened so fast. The light had just turn green, and I waited a few seconds before going when a truck comes out of nowhere, running the red light and crashing into my side causing my car to spin a couple times and hitting the light post.

The teen who looked about eighteen or nineteen gets out from the truck and runs over to my car. All I can feel is a sharp pain in my hip and that was all. He opens the door quick to apologize.

"I'm so so sorry I wasn't paying attention. Do I need to call the ambulance?" He asks. I nod, reaching for my phone. "Oh my god you're pregnant." He says and I know he immediately feels bad. I sit there rubbing my belly as we wait for someone to come help us. I sit there just hoping my little peanut kicks.

The cops, ambulance, and tow truck all pull up and the teen immediately runs up to them. Probably telling them what happened. The paramedics get a gurney and wheel it over to me. They help me out of the car and get onto the gurney. They wheel it to the ambulance and start heading to the hospital.

Wes's POV
I was at my moms where Keaton and I were helping her cleanup. I checked my phone seeing that Cait should've been here a good fifteen minutes ago. Maybe she got caught in traffic or something.

A few minutes go by and my phone starts ringing. I walk over answering it and my stomach almost drops.

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Wesley Stromberg?" They voice on the other end asks.

"Yes this is he."

"Your wife Caitlyn Stromberg has just been in an accident. She is currently in the hospital. Nothing too bad happened just a bruised hip and they are waiting to ultrasound. She wants to wait till you're there." As soon as they say that my heart sinks.

"What hospital?"

"The one off 43rd." They say before I hang up.

"What's up?" Keaton asks.

"Cait just got into an accident. I have to head to the hospital."

"I'll come with." He says and I nod. We both throw on our shirts and run inside.

"Where you two going?" My mom asks.

"Hospital. Cait was in an accident. They're waiting to take an ultrasound till I get there." I say and she nods.

"I'll go with you guys." She says and I nod. We all go out to my car and start driving towards the hospital. The car ride feels like an eternity but we finally get there. The rush me into a room where I see Cait on a hospital bed looking scared out of her mind.

"Hey babe." I say, hugging her. "Are you okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm not sure about the baby." She says rubbing her belly as a tear runs down her face.

"Can we get started with the ultrasound?" I ask the nurse and she nods.

She flips the lights off and turns the machine as well as the sound on. She squeezes the cold blue gel on Cait's stomach before moving the wand around on her stomach. A minute goes by and we find the heart beat, relieving both Cait and I.

"So she's perfectly fine nothing happened when the accident happened so she's fine." The nurse says and Cait squeezes my hand.

"Why hasn't she kicked?" Cait asks.

"She probably just got knocked around a bit and is a little stunned. But the heartbeat is there, so I don't see why she wouldn't be okay. This happens all the time, and normally baby is back to kicking in the next few hours." She says and we nod. "So here's a paper towel to clean off your belly." She says handing Cait a paper towel. Cait quickly cleans her belly before I help her off the hospital bed. I hold her hand in mine as we walk out to the waiting room where Keats and my mom are sitting.

"So what'd they say?" Keats asks.

"Baby's fine. It'll just take a few hours for her to start kicking again." I say and they nod.

"Well we're just happy you two are ok." My mom says giving Cait a hug.

Caitlyn's POV
We start driving home from the hospital and I realize.....I haven't visited my parents grave in a long time.

"Hey babe?" I ask Wes.

"Yeah?"

"Would you mind taking me to the cemetery?"

"No problem beautiful." He says kissing my forehead.

We pull up to the cemetery and walk hand in hand up to my parents graves. I take a deep breath before letting go of Wes's hand. I bend down, sitting down in front of the tombstones.

"Hey mom, hey dad. It's been a while I know." I say and the tears start. "I got married, just a few weeks ago. And you guys have a granddaughter on the way." I say smiling. "I know you guys have seen everything that's gone on and I know you guys saw what happened between Drew and I. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't keep him and I from falling apart. But there were just some things said that shouldn't have been said." I say, wiping the tears that flowed from my eyes. "I'm sorry, I really am. I love you guys and I hope you guys know that." I say, before getting up and turning to Wes. Next thing I know I'm bawling.

"It's okay babe." He says, kissing my forehead. "I know they're very proud of you and the woman you've become."
