(Hope's P.O.V)

After this whole mess, I don't even know what Dustin thinks.

Dustin: Me and Quinn got a divorce last week.

Hope: That's terrible, I'm sorry.

Dustin: No need to be sorry, it was gonna happen sooner or later.

Hope: Yeah but I still feel bad.

Dustin: Hope. I said it's fine. But I only came here to see you.

Hope: Dustin, I was planning on telling you right after I got out of here that you were a dad, Connor's dad to be exact. I also want you to know that I love you, I always have and I always will.

Dustin: When we were little I had the biggest crush on you, I knew I was in love. But I just wanted you to be happy. When I saw you with Luke, I knew you were happy. But it did hurt me a little when you married him and were gonna have his children. I never wanted to let you go but I knew I had to sooner or later. What I'm trying to say is that I love you too Hope. I want to be with you. Forever. Nothing's gonna change that.

Hope: Oh Dustin. I wanna be with you too.

Connor: Mommy? Can I come back in now?

Hope: Of course you can. But first Dustin, I want to introduce you to someone. Your son, our son, Connor.

Connor: Hi Dustin.

Hope: Connor, Dustin is your real daddy. Luke is not your dad. Dustin is.

Connor: Dustin's my daddy?

Dustin: Yes I am.

Connor: I always knew I had a different dad.

Hope: How?

Connor: I'm not sure, I just knew that the love that daddy Luke had for me wasn't real.

I saw a tear drop from his eye. He looked so confused and upset.

Hope: Come here baby. It's okay. Mommy has you. Everything will be alright.

Dustin: What's gonna happen when you leave here?

Hope: I'm not sure, I'll probably just go home but now I have no one to pay bills. The house and car are both in my name. What about you?

Dustin: Yeah I don't know either. I've been living with my mom this past week.

Hope: You can come and live with us. We can be a real family, finally.

Connor: YEAH! Daddy will you come live with us?

Dustin: How can I say no to that face? Of course I will.

Hope: Then it's settled, after I leave tomorrow we will start moving on and start to begin our new lives together.

***3 months later***

So far living with Dustin is really good. Connor and Dustin are bonding so well. They do mostly everything together. Dustin and I are engaged, I know it hasn't been long with us together but I've known him my WHOLE life. We know it's right to be together. Life is finally starting to go right. I also signed my divorce papers 2 months ago. Obviously I have custody of Connor.

Dustin: Hope where's the car keys?

Hope: I have them.

Dustin: (laughs) Can I have them please?

Hope: You're gonna have to fight me for them. (sticks her tongue out)

Dustin: Alright fine. I'm coming to get them from you.

Hope: No Dustin. Stop. Tickling. Me. Please. Here here here. Take them.

Dustin: Haha. I'll be back in a few hours. I love you.

Hope: I love you too, drive safe.

Dustin: I will.

I can't believe life is this perfect. The only thing that can make this better is actually becoming Mrs. Brooks. I can't wait. I don't feel good today at all. Ever since I woke up I threw up twice. I think I might have the flu.

Connor: Mommy? Are you throwing up again?

Hope: Yes I am.

Connor: Do you need to go to the doctor?

Hope: Yeah probably baby. I'll go when daddy gets home, okay?

Connor: Okay mommy.

***Few hours later***

Dustin: I'm home.

Hope: Good, I need to go see a doctor. I think I have the flu.

Dustin: Do you want me to drive you?

Hope: Could you?

Dustin: Of course, I'll go get Connor.

Hope: Alright I'll be in the car.

So glad I have him. I'm so thankful he is apart of our lives. He is so good to me and treats me like a real man should.

Dustin: Ready to go?

Hope: Yeah.

***The doctors***

Hope: You can pick me up later... If you want?

Dustin: I think not. We will stay. I wanna know if you have the flu or not.

We all go into the doctors and they see me in 15 minutes. One of the nurses take me into a exam room and take my vital signs.

Nurse: The doctor will be with you shortly.

Dustin: What are your symptoms?

Hope: I've just had a fever and I've been throwing up all morning.

Dustin: Okay babe, is there any chance that you might be pregnant?

Hope: No. Wait possibly yes.

Dustin: I guess we will have to find out.

Doctor: Hello? Hope Wayne?

Hope: Yes that's me.

Doctor: What makes you come in today?

Hope: I've had a fever and I've been throwing up all morning.

Doctor: Any chance of pregnancy?

Hope: Possibly yes.

Doctor: I want you to take a pregnancy test and we will do an ultrasound too.

Hope: Okay.

***1 hour later***

Doctor: The pregnancy test is positive. We will just do an ultrasound to be sure.

Hope: I'm pregnant.

Dustin: you're pregnant?

Doctor: That's what the test shows. Let's see the ultrasound.

***15 minutes later***

Doctor: Looks like you are pregnant, congratulations.

Connor: I'm gonna be a big brother?

Hope: Yes you are.

Dustin: I'm gonna be a dad, again.

Doctor: Would you like some pictures?

Hope: Yes of course please.

Doctor: Here you are. You guys have a wonderful day.

After finding that out we went home. I'm gonna be a mom again. I'm so upset that my daughters Jaclyn and Audrey aren't here with us RIP, I love you my little angels.
