john b held out his arms for sarah to climb into as he sensed her anxiety and stress after breaking the news to him. he couldn't quite pinpoint why she was so nervous to tell him when she knows he would do anything for her and to protect her. obviously, this was not planned, but john b had already had imagined him and sarah's future together even mentioning it to her a few weeks prior. while navigating a pregnancy, and therefore a child, at nineteen years old was going to be challenging, john b and sarah had survived a storm together, her dying on an operating table, living on an island together, and even losing their dads together. nothing could pull them apart, as they were in it for the long haul.

while the news did shock him, he wanted nothing more than to settle down with the love of his life. as john b was hugging sarah, he reminded her that he loved her and that they were going to figure this out, because they always do.

caressing her face, john b leaned in for a loving kiss, just proving how close they truly were. their commitment to one another had only gotten stronger, as they had come a long way from the topper situation over a year ago. john b knew how much she was struggling at that time, and how he was not there for her when she needed him. they both had grown so much, and had greatly matured as partners.

after they had caught their breaths from the kiss, sarah started tearing up asking john b, "how are you so calm about this? I am so nervous, especially with all of my trauma, our treasure hunting, my brother, my sis-"

john b cuts her off by saying, "hey, hey, hey...I am so nervous, sarah, I am so scared to become my dad, and to do wrong by you. while I have thought about starting a family, this is unexpected, but we have overcome so much" he explained, smiling and finding her eyes.

"when do you think this...happened? we are usually so careful." john b asked her, confusion on his face.

sarah started thinking, "maybe the night we were up late by the fire after we had exchanged rings? we were so crossed that night, and I think I forgot to take my birth control that day. I couldn't remember much the next morning," sarah said looking down, avoiding his eyes.

"hey, sar," he grabbed her face and looked into her eyes.

"things happen, we both got too carried away that night. that was crazy, the fact that we didn't even fully make it inside... I- uh just remember waking up on the outdoor couch with you on top of me," he said laughing, eliciting a giggle out of sarah.

"I just remember being hella sore the next day, I have no clue what happened, like where was everyone else? we were way too bold," sarah said as she burst out laughing.

"look sar, I know this is gonna be scary, I have no idea what I am doing, but with you I know I am going to be okay. you bring out the best in everyone and I cannot be more excited for our next little adventure together." john b said, smiling.

"I love you, john b. thank you for always knowing what to say, and for holding me when everything gets tough. you are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"what are we gonna name her?" sarah asked, wiggling her eyebrows.

"woah, love, you just told me you were pregnant, can I have like a day to...I don't know, process that? but I would actually love to name her valerie, because it's the start of our love story together," john b stated proudly, smiling brightly thinking about their baby.
