Everlasting Love

everlasting love [2.15]

**Samantha's POV**

Alright, I was definitely beginning to freak out a little bit more than expected as I sat in the bathroom, tapping my  feet nervously waiting for the five minutes to be over. I jumped when the timer went off on my phone, letting me know that those minutes,  that really seemed like hours, were over and it was time to look at those two sticks I just peed on. I walked over to the counter and picked one of them up with my shaky hands- looking down to confirm whether or not JJ and I were going to have a baby. 

Two lines, I was as a matter of fact pregnant. How could this happen? Well, I mean I know how this could happen- I forgot about my appointment over a month ago plus JJ and I couldn't keep our hands off each other. Damn him for being so sexy! I called my friend Tabby back up again to tell her I was in fact pregnant and she wasn't surprised at all after I talked to her this morning. 

After laying back in bed for 2 hours, exhausted from the day I've had, I decided I would get up to get dinner ready for when JJ got home- it's not like I was going to be able to lay in bed for the next 9 or so months. I wasn't that type of girl. I was in the middle of cooking dinner when I heard the front door open and JJ calling out my name. 

"I'm in the kitchen J." I called back to him. 

"Hey, are you feeling better?" he asked with concern in his eyes. 

"Yeah, much better. I'm making steak fajitas. Figured you'd be hungry. But can you do me a favor and throw the steaks on the grill? They're all ready to go." I said while cutting up a bunch of peppers. 

He came around the corner and hugged me from behind, I couldn't help but inhale his clean scent. He must've taken a shower after practice. He spun me around to look at my face, and it was like I was an open book because right away he could tell I had something on my mind. 

"What's up?" he asked, his eyes seeming to look through me. He smoothed his thumb over my eyebrows. "You're thinking about something. Your eyebrows are all furrowed. What's wrong?" 

"There's just something I need to talk to you about, but I'd like to make dinner for you first. Okay?" 

He didn't seem happy with that answer since he probably wanted to know what was up right then and there. But he was just going to have to be patient with me.

**JJ's POV**

I was glad Samantha was feeling better, but I could tell she was worried about something. She stood in the kitchen with her fresh face, not a stitch of make up on and her blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. As always, she was stunning but I could definitely tell something was bothering her- but I had to respect the fact that she wanted to eat first. 

We sat down at the kitchen table and she took a couple bites of her small fajita before taking a deep breathe and looking at me. Her eyes seemed sad, like she really didn't want to have this conversation with me, whatever it may be about. She was making me nervous now. 

"Just spit it out babe, what do you need to tell me? You're driving me crazy." 

"I'm pregnant." she just blurted it out and for a second I was stunned. 

"You're pregnant? How'd that happen? I mean, I know how it happens but I thought you got those shot things to prevent it." My stomach felt like it dropped out of my stomach and I broke out into a cold sweat. This wasn't happening, not now, not right at the beginning of the season. But I knew I had to try and keep it together because I could see tears forming behind Samantha's blue eyes. 

"I'm sorry Justin, I didn't mean for this to happen. I missed my last appointment when I went to New York to see Tabitha. I'm sorry." she said, the tears now slipping out of her big eyes. 

I slid in to the bench next to her at the table, upset that she was now crying. I grabbed her face in my hands and wiped the tears away from her eyes with my thumbs. It broke my heart that she was apologizing to me for being pregnant, as if she was the only one who could make this mistake- wait, not a mistake. As if she could create a baby all by herself. 

"Don't apologize to me baby- shit happens. But it's not the end of the world." she laughed and I smiled because I hated to see her cry, especially over something like this. "Did I want to wait a little bit before this happened? Of course,  that's just because I want to make sure I was there for you and this baby and make sure my career didn't get in the way. It's not the other way around, this baby is not going to get in the way of my career. But don't we have to like take a test or something to really find out if you're pregnant." 

She looked up at me, guilt kind of shining in her eyes. "I took two at home tests this morning." Okay, that sort of felt like a punch in the gut. 

"Samantha, aren't we supposed to do this together? I want to be there for you, always- even when you're peeing on a damn stick." Sure I was upset she took the tests without me, but there was no turning back time now. She laughed at my joke and I pulled her closer to me and hugged her body. She seemed to melt into me, letting out a sigh of relief. Did she really think I would get mad at her over something like this? We've known each other forever and I wasn't going to let her down now. I wasn't a dick- she was my responsibility, this baby is now my responsibility. 

A little ping of excitement hit me just then, I was going to have a little son or daughter with this amazing woman. She was such a huge part of my life and to share something so precious with her, only made me happy that she was going to have this baby during the offseason. Thank God for that. 

"So, how are we going to break the news to my parents?" I asked her and she looked up at me and smiled. 

"Well, first I think we should go to the doctor's to check on the baby and find out what the next steps are. Plus, I want to make it through the first trimester first just to be safe. But I'm sure we'll figure something out." 

I looked down at her and kissed her lips. "I can't believe you thought I would be mad at you. Now, you better give me son so I can teach him how to play football." 

She giggled and smacked me playfully on the chest. "There's too many men in this family. It's time for a girl!" 

I kissed her again, "Well, if she's half as beautiful as you, I'll have my hands full trying to keep the boys away." And that thought right there of having a beautiful baby girl scared me more than anything in this world, especially since their mom was so the most beautiful woman, inside and out, that I ever known.
