Chapter 8

HANNAH

We pulled over in front of dad's house. I stayed in the car while Zach helped dad put the luggage in the trunk. I stared out the window, seeing kids playing with their toys.

One day that's gonna be our child.

Dad kept quiet when he and Zach stepped into the car. He had a blank look on his face, like not knowing how to react on the situation.

"Congratulations, you two."He said as we drived back to Champ and Taylor's house. We're neighbors but, dad insisted to be fetched first.

"Thanks dad."I turned and smiled at him. He really looks so nervous and excited and happy, judging by the nervous yet excited look in his eyes and the bright smile on his face which means that he is happy.

He kind of glowed with happiness today, actually.

Zach stopped the car in front of Champ and Taylor's house, where the engaged couple were waiting on the porch with luggage scattered on their feet.

"How long are we gonna stay there again?"I asked. "Um...a month?"Zach answered before stepping out of the car to help Champ and Taylor load their luggage.

"So how far along are you?"Dad asked. "Two months."I blankly answered. Dad nodded. "Before the wedding, huh."He smirked. "Yeah. You're...not angry?"

"Of course not! You're a grown up now, Hannah. You're married to a brave man who always does his duties and fulfills his responsibilities and always stays loyal to you no matter what."Dad said. I felt my heart melt.

So sweet.

"Aw, daddy that's so sweet."I commented.

Champ and Taylor just got in the car when I suddenly felt the urge to throw up the ice cream and chips Zach and I ate.

Luckily Zach hadn't got in the car yet. Before he opened the car door I opened mine and went straight to the side of our house, where I vomited my guts out. For the third time today.

Or is it the second time? I don't know.

Zach ran to me and held me by my shoulders as I bent down on the grass to puke. At the corner of my eye I can see dad, Champ, amd Taylor having a conversation.

Definitely about me.

When I finished, I placed my hand on my stomach and spoke. "Water."I said. Zach ran back to the car and took a bottle of water and gave it to me.

I gulped down half of the amount of water. I breathed slowly and let Zach help me get in the car and put my seatbelt on.

I placed my hand on my forehead and Zach started driving.

"Hannah...are you..."Taylor slowly asked.

"Pregnant?"I continued. Champ and Taylor nodded.

"Yes."
