A week later I miss my period. I am never late. EVER. So I gt a couple pregnancy tests. All 6 turn up positive. "Ed." I say not too loud but loud enough for him to hear me. "What?" "Come here a minute." He walks to the bathroom "what do you" he cuts himself off when he sees the tests. "No." he says looking at me and I nod. "What are we going to do? We can't even get along, definitely not with a kid! Our parents! What about them!? No no no no no NO!" I scream panicking. He comes over to me and kisses me. "We can make this work ok? We can do this." He says and I lo into his blue eyes. "Do you really believe that?" "Yes I do. Makenzie I have to tell you something. I've had a crush on you for a long time..." he says and I take a sharp breath. "Your perfect and I'm really happy were having this kid." "I can't take care of a kid Ed." "MaKenzie, what are you saying?" "I can't have this kid Ed." "Please don't do this..." "I have ..." "Please don't kill this child." He says "I don't want to..." I say with tears forming in my1 eyes. "Then don't! We can do this! This child deserves a chance at life, we'll be great parents!" "Ed will you even stay!?"I scream. He looks at me hurt and steps back painfully. "If you blow up, no, when you blow up, will you stay? Because I can't raise a kid on my own!" he looks into my eyes and sighs "of course I will. I wouldn't leave you alone on this. Please don't kill this child." "Ed..." "MaKenzie I love you and this will be the happiest kid ever! Please give the baby a chance..." he says with misty eyes. "fine." I mumble. "What?" "I'll keep it." I say. He runs toward me and kisses and swirls me. I shriek and he laughs. "Were having a kid." He says. "Were having a kid." I respond and he swirls me some more. That night we sleep in his bed together, but the best part is that's it. We just sleep. One of his hands just above my belly button and the other acting as my pillow. I smile and shift, sure he has pins and needles. He sighs of relief and I laugh. "sorry." I say and roll over so I'm facing him and he's smiling. "Why so happy?" I ask and he laughs "Were having a kid." He says. "Were having a kid." I respond.
