"So you don't use any can goods?" I said pealing a ear of corn. "The best meal is made from scratch." Margo said with a smile. "My grandma tells me the same thing. It's just that it is quicker to make when it's not scratch." I said rinsing off the corn.

I have been in the kitchen with Margo for 4 hours. I am so tired! At least we are almost done with dinner. We made mash potatoes from scratch, corn bread from scratch, Mac and cheese from scratch, and corn on the cob from scratch! I have never made so many things from scratch in my life!

"So are you and Zach a couple?" Margo asked setting the table. "Well I don't know what we are. We live together. I would say we are close friends." I said handing her silverware. I can't tell her about the baby until dinner! "Really because I think your more than just close friends." I looked at Margo shocked. "I saw the way he was looking at you in the car. I can even tell when Zach and I video chat. He is always talking about you. He even seems happier." Margo said putting the food out on the table.

Does Zach really talk about me? Does he see me like I see him?

"Do you like him?" Margo asked looking up at me. "Well ya I mean who would not but, he's gay..." I looked down. "You strike me as a girl that would not care about that." I looked up at Margo. She was right. She was absolutely right. I don't care if Zach is gay or not. I never did. I love him for his personality, his charm, and his sexiness!

Margo walked up to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "Tell him how you feel." Margo said. I nodded my head and smiled.

"Hey! We are home!" We turned around and saw Zach and Joe walking into the kitchen. "Hey mom dinner smells great." Joe said sitting at the table. "Layla helped with dinner to Joe." Margo said washing her hands. "What! Mrs.Microwave made food from scratch." Joe said. I rolled my eyes and watched as Zach left the room.

I went up stairs to check on him. "Hey you ready." I asked him as I sat on the bed next to him. "Ya Im just nervous." He said looking down. I turned his head so he could look me in the eye. "Hey your not alone. We are in this together. Come on." I grabbed his hand and lead him down stairs. I hid Margo's gift behind Zach's chair. We sat down and said grace. We had been eating for a while before Zach spoke up. "Mom I have something for you." Zach said nervous. Margo looked at Zach confused. He grab the bag from under his chair and gave it to Margo.

   Margo opened the bag and looked at the picture frame. She smiled and started to cry. I ran over to her and gave her a hug. "Im gonna be a grandmother." She said in between sobs. "Surprise." I said patting her on the back. Zach came over and hugged his mom. "So are you surprised?" Zach asked with a smile. "Of course I'm surprised." Margo said wiping her tears. "I am so happy for you two." She said with a smile. Joe came over and hugged his mom. "And you mr are gonna be an uncle." Margo said poking Joe. "Ya I still can't believe it." He said with a smile.

    So we all sat back down and talked about the baby and finished dinner. After we were done eating Zach and Joe washed the dishes while Margo and I got ready for bed. I put on one of Zach's shirts and got under the covers. I turned on the tv and watched Friends. A few minutes later Zach walked in and took off all his clothes except for his boxers. We have lived together for a few months now. So it's not wired seeing him in his underwear. He got in bed with me and pulled the covers over us. I moved closer to him and laid my head on his chest. "You should get some good sleep. Tomorrow we are gonna be on the road for a while." Zach said turning off the tv. I nodded sleepily and smiled.

  I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"Wait what!!!"
