I found out earlier that I passed all my exams with high scores and I got a job. Today has been great so far. I start work today. Well, actually in about a hour. After I have to go tell Connor about the baby. I thought about it all night long. I have this big speech and everything. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell it to him.

I apply the last of my makeup and put my hair in a ponytail. I can't wear my hair down at work. I got a waitress job and they don't want any of my hair to get in the food. I slide on my black converse and head out the door.

*7 hours later*

I'm finally off work and I'm so tired. I worked from 2 to 8. It's going to be like this everyday until I have enough money for a apartment. Plus I'm going to have to buy things for Beth and my baby. I still haven't told anyone but Grace. I'm on my way to Connors now.

I pull into his driveway and get out. I walk to the front door and knock loudly. The door opens a few seconds later to revel Connor standing there.

"Katie, what are you going here?"

"We need to talk."

"It's not the best time."

"It's really important."

"I'm sure it can wait until tomorrow when you tell us who you pick."

He starts to shut the door but I grab his hand and pull him outside. He looks shocked at my actions but I just stare at him. He pulls his hand from my grip and crosses his arms.

"Okay, okay. If it's so important, I'll listen."

I let out a breath and say," I know I'm suppose to tell you this tomorrow but I can't wait any longer. I pick you, Connor. I've been doing a lot of thinking and I need you. You're the one I want to be with. You're my rock. You've been there for me through everything. And I love you so much..."

He starts to talk but I cut him off by saying," There's also someone else that needs you even more..."

He gives me a confused look then says," Who would that be?"

I put my hand on my stomach and say," I'm pregnant, Connor. You're going to be a dad."

He looks at my stomach then back up at my face. His eyes are wide and his face is as white as a ghost.

"I- uh - Katie, wow. I don't know what to say."

"I wanted you to know as soon as possible."

"I know that this should be a happy time and all but you slept with Josh too. How do I know that it's not his?"

I just stare at him with my mouth open. How could he say that? Of course this baby is his. It couldn't be Josh's.

"I see that you're speechless. Listen, I'm happy for you but I won't be with you until I know that baby's mine. I do love you Katie but I won't raise Josh's baby. When you figure out who's it is let me know."

He walks back into the house and shuts the door.

I can't be having Josh's baby. It has to be Connors. The only way for me to tell is when the baby is born. They have to do a DNA test and everything. I don't think I can go 9months without Connor. But I guess I'm going to have to.

I lost Connor now too. Everyone is slowly but surly leaving me. Who's next? I would like to know too.
