(Topanga's p.o.v)

Shawn was cleaning up his trailer. "Hey I think we should hook up the house to the truck and leave the day we graduate". He says plopping down on the bed as he tossed the final dirty shirt in his laundry basket. "Where would we go?" I asked carefully sitting down. "Why you being so careful?" He questioned. I tried to hold back a smile.
"Where would we go Shawn?" I asked. "Wherever we want to Topanga, after we go on the senior trip, then we can go from place to place from there." He says. "Yeah". I say. I had news for Shawn but I wasn't gonna tell him till the time was right.

He pulled me close. Then his stomach growled, he smiled. "Hungry?" I asked. "A little bit". He says.
I watched him get up and go to the fridge. He searched through it. "Damn we gotta go shopping, no food in here". He says.

I was here at my parents house. Amber was gone still, my heart ached for a woman. I wanted Topanga but after what I said to her today I highly doubted we'd be friends anymore and Shawn would defiantly not want me around her. But Shawn couldn't support Topanga; he had no money, he wasn't that smart, he didn't even want to go to college the guy would be an idiot, no college, and then he'd have three kids with her then leave her. He was just like his parents.

I put our home videos in my closet where no one would find them. They were of me and Topanga. Nothing inappropriate just us being together and fishing, and playing in the field with hula hoops. Her meditating and being her pure hippie self. I looked at the liquor cabinet. I grabbed the little bottle of Jack D and went back down stairs to drink and watch the home videos.

I couldn't take it anymore I had to tell Shawn. He was still looking in the fridge for some pizza. "Shawn I'm pregnant". I said. "What?!" He says smacking his head in the fridge when he went to stand up straight. He looked at me rubbing the back of his head in pain. "What?" He asked. "Nothing, I think you need to sit down you may have just given yourself a concussion". I say. "No what'd you say?" He asked. "Shawn I'm pregnant." I said.

Someone knocked on the basement door. I opened the door and saw Topanga. She was soaked from the rain. "What?" I asked. "Shawn ran away". She said. "From what?" I say. "Me, I'm pregnant, he's scared and he ran". She said tears forming in her pretty eyes.
