Erika's POV
"So did you tell him?" Meghan asked.
"Yes I did." I told her.
"Let me guess it was that bad?"
"No but he was shocked and just left the room without saying anything."
"I would expect that reaction for someone who found that they are having a baby." She said.
"You know I wasn't expecting all of this to happen." I stated.
"You got everything going well for you so what do you mean?" Meghan questioned.
Took a sip of my drink and sighed in frustration. "I am talking about dealing with the wedding, my dad coming back to my life and now with this baby , I don't know what to do."
"I get it that is hard but you are not to going to go through all of this alone and there are people that will help you."
"I feel like I should abort it."
"And do you want to do that Erika?"
"No I don't but imagine taking care of a kid and the father doesn't want to be in her or his life."
"So you think Sammy doesn't want to be a dad even though all he did was looked shocked and walked away. "
I was about to say something until my phone buzzed and a text message popped up on the screen.
Sammy: We need to talk and oh the wedding planner is here.
"He said that we need to talk." I said, putting my phone on the table.
"Damn that means a lot of things." Meghan said.
"Let's just hope some good things come out of it because I don't want to raise this child alone if I want to keep it."
"I know you are scared because your dad left you when you were a child but I promise you that Sammy is not like that and the guy is deeply mad in love with you."
I smiled. "Yeah I know but anyway I need to get my hair done because I am tired of the straight hair."
Meghan chuckled. "What about just getting it curly or braided again.
I shrugged. "Maybe braids I guess."
"I think I am going to go to Canada and try to rekindle my relationship with Cameron again."
"What if you see him with someone else there?"
"Then I know it was meant to be over and just move on."

9:10 pm
As I opened the door, the house was very quiet until Sammy walked downstairs with nothing, but a towel wrapped around his waist.
"The wedding planner left about two hours ago, but she mentioned that we would receive an email regarding a venue available for rent at a reasonable price." He said.
"Okay that's great so what have you been doing?" I asked.
"I went on a run to clear my head like twice because of what you said earlier." He told me.
"Look Sammy-"
He cut me off mid-sentence and walked closer to me.
"Just listen to me, okay? I want the baby and have always envisioned starting a family with you, and now it's happening."
"Then why did you walk away?"
"I was in shock and didn't know what to say or think."
"So you want to keep the baby?"
Sammy gave me a puzzled look. "Keep? Were you considering an abortion?"
"I was but changed my mind on it."
"So you want to keep it?" He asked.
"Yeah, I want to keep the baby." I state.
He smiled. "So, we are going to be parents and that is a great thing but I feel like we should keep it a secret."
"I agreed with that and just wait until we are ready to tell people."
"Or wait until you get big."
"Sammy."
"What? I am not calling you fat though."
He placed his hand on my stomach and joked. " You know it is crazy that it took a lot of raw and maybe some broken cond-"
"Please, just stop talking," I interjected quickly before he could finish his sentence.
Sammy chuckled. "Okay fine." He gently kissed my lips, then gazed down at my stomach. "It's truly unbelievable that we're going to have a baby."
"Yeah, me too."
