******************************************************
I rolled my head over and smiled at Drew. He smiled back and turned on his back to stare at the ceiling.
I scooted over and traced the long scar on his stomach. He shivered slightly and put his hand around my waist. "What's this from?" I asked.
He sucked in a deep breath and exhaled before answering. "A knife."
Honestly I was shocked. "A knife?"
He nodded. "It was almost a year ago, but it's a different story for a different day."
He put his arm around me and kissed my forehead. "I've been thinking."
"About what?"
"I want a baby." he said quietly.
I froze and he looked down at me. I started crying and I pressed my face into his shoulder.
He sat up and pulled me into his lap. He gently brushed the hair from my face. "Honey, it's okay if you don't, it was just a thought." he whispered.
I shook my head and held his face in my hands. "I'm pregnant."
He stared at me for a few minutes. "Why were you crying then?"
I looked at my lap and we didn't say anything.
He finally pulled me face up to his and kissed me softly. "Are you really?"
I nodded.
He smiled softly and hugged me. "I'm glad." he grinned and I nodded and buried my face in his neck.
"But we have to keep it a secret." I didn't look at him.
"Why?"
"Please?" this time I looked at him. "Please?"
He watched my face. "Why Alex?"
I sighed. "I'm not ready to tell anyone." I looked away but something told me he could tell I was lying.
He nodded slowly. "But we have to tell them soon."
I nodded and laid down. He put his arm around my stomach and sighed happily.
"How far along are you?" he whispered.
"Five weeks." I whispered back.
"Why didn't you tell me? Does any one else know?"
I shook my head. "Tammy knows, I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
I knew it bothered him but I couldn't bring myself to tell him why I didn't tell him.
He let it go and I heard him yawn.
"Love you." I whispered.
"Love you too." he said distantly.
I sank back into his chest and closed my eyes.
I felt horrible about having to keep all the secrets.
I yawned and fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up and Drew smiled at me from the end of the bed.
He was dressed and messing around with his computer.
I rolled over and groaned.
I heard him chuckle.
"What time is it?" I mumbled.
"Around noon."
I nodded and pressed my face deeper into the bed.
The sun was shining brightly and it was giving me a headache. Noon. I sighed and got out of the bed and into the shower.
I didn't take a hot shower or a really cold one but I guess you could say it was room temperature.
Anyway it relaxed me and made me not want to vomit.
I heard Drew come into the bathroom and I peeked out of the curtain.
He was standing by the counter and he looked up at me.
"I just talked to my dad." he said.
I nodded. "What about?" Please don't say about the baby.
"About my job." he cleared his throat. "I have good news and bad."
"Good news first." I said and turned off the shower.
"I don't have to leave anymore but..." he paused.
I reached for a towel and wrapped it around myself as I stepped out of the shower. "But what? Is this the bad news?"
He nodded. I gestured for him to go on and I sat on the counter.
"Our fathers agreed to let me stay here but I have to have a reason. A good reason."
He stood in front of me and put his hands on my legs.
I didn't look at him. "And that means we have to tell them."
He nodded and pulled my chin up. "I want them to know and I want to be with you."
I nodded. "I do too, but--" I stopped and sucked in a sharp breath. "Are you sure that if we tell them, you can stay?" I looked up and held his gaze.
"No, but it's worth a shot." he pointed out.
After a few minutes of debating with myself, I finally nodded.
He smiled and it made me smile too.
"I'm going to get dressed and then we'll tell them, okay?" I jumped off the counter and he put his arms around my waist.
"Sounds good." he kissed my forehead and rested his cheek there.
I untangled myself and put on some clothes and hunted around in my bag for my vitamins.
