One Simple Mistake

Making Amends

*Jessica's POV, Flashback From Earlier*

When Mason and I arrived at the doctors, I walked up to the secretary at the front desk.

"Can I help you?" She fake smiled.

"Yes, I have an appointment with Dr. White at 12:30?"

"I'll let him know you're here, until then you can sit over there," She gestured to the patient waiting room chairs. Mason and I walked over to them and took a seat.

"Why are we here Jessica? This is ridiculous, it's your birthday!" Mason fussed.

"I... You'll see.." After 5 or 10 minutes waiting, the nurse called us back. She led us back to a white room, white walls, you could tell it was a doctor's office. She took my blood pressure and temperature, of which both were average.

"How tall are you and how much to you weigh, approximately, hun?" The blonde haired nurse asked, smiling the whole time. She very obviously loved her job.

"5 foot, 4 inches and 123 pounds," I replied, knowing my exact weight from my obsession of not gaining too much. She wrote it down and closed her notebook.

"The doctor will be right in," She smiled and left, closing the door behind her. Mason and I waited another 15 minutes.

"Jessica Falls," Dr. White said when he walked into my room, "What are we seeing you for today?"

"I need to find out if I'm... Pregnant.." I dropped my head.

"What?!" Mason yelled.

"Alright Kiddo, let's test this then," The doctor confirmed my worst fears when he popped back in, this time in 40 minutes.

"Congratulations! You two are having a baby," He smiled. Mason just walked out of the room. I thanked the doctor then left as well.

"We have to go to the mall." I broke the silence of the car ride home.

"Why? WHY Jessica?! Do you need to go have sex with someone else and not tell me about it?!" Mason snapped.

"I was drunk. It wasn't something I wanted to flaunt around." I retorted.

"Whatever," He grumbled and drove us to the mall.

*Flashback Over*

"Dylan?" I asked, walking up to him and, of course, that bitch Stacy.

"Did you stalk me here?" He smirked. God that smirk killed me.

"I saw Stacy's post.. I need to talk to you.." I whispered. Once he agreed and we were alone, we sat face to face and I gave him the news.

"Repeat that for me.." He said, eyes bulging out of his head.

"You heard right." I let a few tears slide down my face.

"And I'm the dad?" He asked, but you could tell he knew the answer.

"You were my first and only."

"I'll get a job or two. To help, ya know?" I sighed and shook my head no.

"I don't want to hold you back. I just thought I'd let you know. Go be with Stacy; she's more your speed." I stated sadly.

"No. No. No. No," He shouted, standing up, "I'm going to be in my baby's life. Jessica, I've known you since you were born. You were my best friend. Then your mom.. She cheated on your dad, on your family, with my dad. Yeah, it was rough. But you didn't have to blame me, dammit! You didn't have to push me out, make me hate you for leaving me all alone! You hurt me and I loved you. And I love you," He corrected himself, tears forming in his eyes. "I'm not leaving you alone like you left me." I couldn't believe the scene playing out in front of me. It was so surreal.

"You.. y.. you love me?" I stuttered.

"No, I just know everything and more about you. Like how you love Disney, how you hate reheating leftovers, you're obsessed with the Titanic, but you hate the movie, that you get terrible migraines, that you have anxiety, that you love me too.." He whispered the end, before grabbing my hips and planting his lips on mine. Fireworks. Or atomic bombs. No words or type of explosion could describe the feeling, the emotion I felt from one simple 10 second kiss.

"I do," I stated, but the way my voice trembled, it could have been mistaken as a question.

"You do," He smiled.
