Friendship is what matters

8 years later

I go to my bathroom and look at the mirror.I found my sister's condo is now my condo because she got married and I'm a 21 year old uncle of twins."Man,I've changed so much."I said to myself.I look like those lumbersexual Italian men.Sam started dating Marla and Cody started to date Amanda.I'm now the boss of the bakery and my sister still works there.I started to do kickboxing too.Since it's Sunday,I wanted to go to the park to relax myself a bit.I sit on one of the benches and a familiar girl came by."Excuse me,but can I sit there?"The girl said."Sure,but you look familiar."I said."You look familiar too." And that's what I realized who it was."Laikki?!" "Jake?!" We hugged."I thought you were never going to come back."I was really happy."Well,my parents decided me to send me back here after an incident happened to me." "What happened?"I asked.Laikki sighs."When I was 19,I got molested and abused by a stranger back in Finland." I was in shocked.I really feel bad for her."Damn,but you're ok?" "Yeah.I'm just asking and I asked my parents this and they said 'yes',but can I be your roommate?" "Of course and randomly asking,are you dating someone?" She said "no" and thank God.A week later,she moves into my condo."So what do you work as?"I asked."Finnish bakery.Got to let people try Finnish sweets." We sat at the couch."How's Isabella?" "She got married to Justin and had two adorable twins,Eric and Ethan,and I'm an uncle."Laikki soon decides to sit at the living room floor and she pats down on the floor,the signal for me to sit next to her.She starts to touch my almost fully growned small beard.I touched her hair and real things started to happened.We lay down together and Laikki started to moan.Time pass by.The next morning,Laikki is in bed with me.I get up and realized that I'm naked."Ahhhhhh!"I screamed."Jake,what ha---"And Laikki starts to scream.We fight over the bedsheets to see who gets to cover our body.We wrapped each other up."What the fuck happened?"Laikki asked."I don't know,but why we're naked?"I asked.

Laikki yanks the sheet and immediately runs to her room.I put on my clothes.When I went to work,I couldn't stop thinking about this morning and trying my best to remember what happened last night that got us in this situation.I went to Isabella's house.The twins run up to me."Uncle Jake!"They both said.I picked them up."Anybody wants an airplane?"I asked.This means I pick them up high and run all over the house."Yes!" I did the airplane thing and put them down."Hi Isabella.Hi Justin."I greet them.My sister is once again pregnant."So how's life?"She asks."Pretty good so far.Laikki came back and she's my roommate." I stay there and talked for a long time.When I come home,Laikki was at the kitchen,cooking."Hey,my sister is pregnant again."I said."That's good news."She said."I'm sorry for what happened, you know.I honestly don't remember at all."I said."I don't remember also.Did we have,you know?" "If we did,I would be asking myself why did we do that."I said."And if we did,then we are too young."She said.Sunday was Easter and I went to church.Laikki went to her Orthodox church.When it was time to pray,I prayed so much."Please forgive me on whatever happened that day and nothing bad will happened between my friends and I.Amen."I whispered.When I come home,Laikki runs up to me with joy."Jake,you're not going to believe this!"She hugged."What?" "I'm pregnant!" The world flipped."Are you fucking out of your mind?"I said.I was a bit angry and confused.She handed me that pregnancy test thing and the lines were there."But we're not even married!"I said.I passed out.I felt slapping on my cheeks.I get up."So we did have it and we're not even dating?!" "Yeah I know.Really weird."She said.I immediately called Sam and Cody to come over here.I grabbed these two and put them in my room."I'm screwed guys!" "What is it?"They both asked."Laikki is p-r-e-g-n-a-n-t!" "Whoa dude,congrats!"Cody said."Yeah,you guys are more than friends now."Sam said.

"No,it's not great!We are not even dating!Plus,she's 20 years old!"I said."I can't believe I'm doing this,but I'm going to have to buy those pills to stop pregnancy." They immediately tackled me."Jake,no.Think about it.If Laikki eat or drink one of those pills,she can die or whatever!"Sam said."Well if you guys love babies so much,then why don't you have her's?" "Sam and I will have with our girlfriends much much later,but you don't goddamn kill the vibe.Got that?"Cody said.These past months,Laikki has been cranky and put on a bit of weight.It's my birthday and I'm 22!And disaster strikes on my birthday.Laikki is at the hospital."I swear to God Jake,I'm going to stab --aaaaah!"She was swearing,in pain,threatening,and screaming."Push!"The doctor kept on saying."Don't push!"I said back.I don't want to have this baby."Waaah!Wahh!"The baby came out and it's a girl.I dropped down on my knees."Nooooo!Why do you have to have the baby?!" "Her name is going to be Lauren Hakola." I look at the baby and she doesn't have a left arm and a right leg.We came back home and Laikki starts to sing a Finnish lullabuy in the baby's room.I peeked and I feel like regretting what I said."We need to talk."I said.I crossed my arms."Laikki,you're a single,young mom and we are just friends.I didn't know that things were going to happened." "I didn't know too Jake,but I hesitated too much.Do you hate me?" I sit next to her."To be honest,I am happy that you have Lauren,but I don't hate you.I'm just a bit mad that we did this."
