The Perfect Two

12

Ten people were sitting down at a table in a small Italian restaurant,money were all happily eating away enjoying their time together making nice small talk.

"So Spencer?" Max piped up from across the table, "when do you plan on marrying my sister?"

Spencer started choking on the drink he had in his mouth while JJ's eyes nearly flew out of her head. "MAX!" She yelled across the table. "What's your problem?!"

Max let out a small chuckle, "you guys have been living together for six month I figured I'd ask, it's just a joke relax Jen."

JJ stood from her seat and grasped Spencer's arm pulling him up from his chair. "Well it wasn't funny!" She replied before heading to the door of the restaurant.

"Jennifer where are you going?" Her mother called.

"Home!" Was her only reply.

They arrived back at their apartment with a pizza after Spencer reminded JJ that they hadn't made it past the appetizers before leaving.

"Why are you so upset about this JJ?" Spencer asked watching JJ take her heels off and so throwing them into the living room.

"Why doesn't this bother you?!" JJ shouted.

"It was just a joke."

"That's how it starts! They joke about it until it gets in your head and you think it's a good idea! Then you propose and I feel obligated to say yes because you put so much effort and thought into marrying me! Six month later we're married and nine months after that every two to three years till I'm thirty five I'm popping out children!"

Spencer just starred in shock he had never seen JJ so worked up like this before. "You're being ridiculous! There was like a ten year age gap between you and Roz."

"Cause my mom couldn't get pregnant, I heard all the stories! But I seem to be as fertile as a fucking rabbit!" The blonde started pacing back and forth in the living room. "I can't handle the pressure! I want to be with you for the rest of my life but I don't want to be under a microscope while I do it."

"You not wanting to keep the baby isn't about your parents finding out, it's about you not wanting to be like them?" Spencer questioned, it was about time he finally got answers.

JJ collapsed onto the couch let herself cry freely. "Roz was a free spirit, she did whatever she wanted and didn't care what others thought because it made her feel good. And she was proud when she told you and I she liked girls, because it was who she was. And her life would have been amazing if people would of been proud of her instead of them looking down on her and made things hell." Spencer walked across the room to sit on the couch with his girlfriend wrapping his arms around her. "My parents loved her but it wasn't the same anymore, nothing was the same... Then she killed herself and people told me she was happier now but I knew she wasn't, her troubles didn't go away she just ran from them..."

Spencer looked JJ in the eye, "what does Roz have to do with you not wanting to raise this baby?"

"There is a list in my head since the moment I found out I was pregnant of reasons why or why not I should keep this baby. And the why not's are seriously out weighing the why's. I have one why and it's that I get to have a baby with you... Roz is a huge factor is why not, I loved her to death and then I lost her... I'm so afraid of being a screw up that Roz will hate me and this baby... I can't take care of myself half the time... You take care of me."

Spencer sighed standing up, he grabbed JJ under the knees and around her back carrying her down the hallway bridal style. He laid her in the bed and took off her dress before tucking her under the quilt, he followed suit stripping down to his boxers joining her under the blanket and they fell asleep.
