Taylor's POV

I Sit On The Bed While My Mom Signs My Release Papers. They Did Some More Test To See If They Could Find A Heart Beat For My Baby. Daniel Had A Class At 3 So He Had To Left A Little Earlier On In The Day. The Nurse && My Mom Walked In.

Nurse: Miss. Taylor Delaney We Have Great News. Our Machine Was Broken So We Weren't Able To Hear The Heart Beat. But When We Retested We Heard Your Baby's Heartbeat && He Or She Sounds Very Happy In Your Little Tummy. But Make Sure You Take It Easy On That Foot. Your Mom Told Me You Were A Cheerleader. With You Being With Child You Might Want To Kind Of Cheer From The Stands.

A Huge Smile Escapes My Lips && I Thank Her For Everything She's Done

Mom: You Ready Pancake???

I Nod Grabbing My Bag. My Mom Takes The Bags From Me. Then Jordan Walks In. He Got Discharged Tuesday && He's Been Stopping By Every Day After School Bring My Homework.

Jordan: Ms.Katie. He Says With A Small Nod.

He Helps Me Up From The Bed And Helps Me With My Crutches.

Me: Jordan,Baby Guess What!!

Jordan: What ??

Me: They Said Their Machine Was Broken When They Did The Heart Beat Test For The Baby. They Redid It && They Heard Our Baby's Heart Beat.

Jordan: Sweetie That's Great.

All 3 Of Us Walk Through The Automatic Doors. Into The Cold Bitter Air.

Mom: Are You Riding Home With Me Or Do You Wanna Go With Jordan??

Me: Umm...I Think I'm Gonna Go With Him. You Know So We Can Talk About Some Things.

Mom: Ok. Love You.

Me: Love You To. See You In A Bit.

We Go Our Separate Ways Jordan && I Oneway, Mom Another. Once We Make It To Jordan's Car He Helps Me Into The Passengers Seat Closes The Door And Puts My Crutches Into The Back. When He Gets In The Car, && Begins To Pull Out Of The Parking Spot It Seems A Little Tense.

Me: Soooo.....We're Gonna Be Parents.

Jordan: Yea I Know. I've Been Applying For Jobs.

He Says Still With His Eyes Focused On The Road.

Me: Really That's Great. Cause U Was Thinking That I Could Get A Job And We Can Save Some Money So I Can Get Out My Momma's House. You Know???

Jordan: Yeah That Would Be Great!!!

Me: Yeah That's What I Was Thinking Too. But Umm...What About Your Other Baby????

Jordan: I'm Going To Take Care Of It. You Know If It's Even Mine, But I Swear I Used Protection. But I Called The Police && Made A Report On Britney. She Can't Text, Call, Come Around Me Unless It's About The Baby.

Me: Oh Okay. I Just Don't Want Anything To Happen To Your Family Because Of Me.

Jordan: Baby, Don't Worry About That. The Only Thing You Need To Have In Your Head Right Now Is Eating For 2, Your School Work So You Can Graduate. Got It???

Me: Ummhmm...Yes Sir.

We Both Laugh At My Last Comment && He Slowly Pulls Into My Drive-Way.

Me: Ahh My Mom Is Already Here. I Thought That Maybe We Could Have Some Alone Time.

Jordan: Yeah, Me Too But I Can Stay With You A Little Longer If You Want Me Too. Unless You And Your Mom Already Had Plans.

Me: I Don't Know My Mom Said That Well Talk About The Whole 'Pregnancy' Thing When We Get. Sooo...Now Were Home.

Jordan: Oh. Yeah And I Haven't Even Told My Mom Yet.

Me: What??? Jordan!!!

Jordan: I'm Waiting On The Right Time. When You Can Be With Me To Do It.

I Quickly Get Frustrated At His Remark. Roll My Eyes Toward The Door && About To Open The It. Until,

He Jumps Outta The Drivers Seat. To Come And Get My Crutches. He Helps Me Into The House All The Way To The Couch.

Me: Mom!!! I'm Home

Mom: Okay I'll Be Down In A Minute.

Me: Okay Cause Me && Jordan Wanted To Talk To You. Or Maybe You Could Put On Some Clothes And We Can Go Eat.

Mom: Okay We Can Go Out Cause I'm Starving.

Me: Okay!!

I Turn My Attention To Jordan. Who Is Examining The Picture Of Daniel, My Dad, && I. I Swing My Way Over To Him And Look At The Picture. I Guess My Presence Frightened Him Cause He Jumped A Little && Looked At Me.

Jordan: Taylor...I..Was...Just..Umm(gco)

Me: It's Okay. Sometimes I Find Myself Looking At It For Courage, Strength, Hope. When I Was Younger He Would Always Say. "Tay, Onday You Gone Be A Skyscraper, && Your Mother And I Will Be The Window Washer." Of Course When I Was Younger I Never Really Understood What It Meant. But Now I Know. I Can Go As High As I Wanna Go && Him && My Mom Are Gonna Be There To Keep My View Clean.

Jordan Looks At Me And Smiles a Little. Then My Mom Walk Down The Stairs.

Mom: Umm Y'all Ready??

Me: Umm Yea

Jordan: Can I Ask My Mom To Join While We Talk About All Of This???

Mom: Yea Of Course I Think That Is A Splendid Idea!!!

Jordan Slips His Phone Out Of His Pocket && Calls His Mom.

Jordan: Ummhmm...Yeah Ma. Taylor What Restaurant We Going To.

Me:Umm...How About Cheddars?

Jordan: Cheddars. Yeah Ma Ok See You There.

We Get Into The Car And Drive To Cheddar. My Mon && I In Her Car, Jordan In His.
