"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love as you'll never be hurt, Sing like nobody is listening, And live like its heaven on earth."

-William W. Purkey

Josh parked his bike and we walked up to the line outside the club.

"I texted Steph and Randy."

"I face timed them in."

"You did? Thank you," I gave him a quick kiss and spotted Blake.

"I'm so ready to celebrate!" he shouted and I hugged him tightly.

"Are Steph and Ran meeting us here?" Damian asked.

"Yes. They should be here soon. Randy couldn't find a sitter, so they're dropping off Logan at her mom's," I explained and Josh slid off his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders. I smiled at him and he looked behind me.

"And you always complain that Addy and I are always late!" I laughed and Ran nudged him.

"Talk to me when you have to get a sitter," Ran snapped and Steph pulled me into a hug.

"Sorry, we were late."

"It's okay. How long does Grace have Logan?" I asked and she smiled.

"A week. We are going to take a small vacation."

"That sounds wonderful. What are you planning on doing?"

"We are going to rent out a beach house."

"Josh's family owns one, you should talk to him about using it."

"I didn't know that. I'm going too. I don't want to spend money," we walked into the club and Blake claimed a rather large table.

"First round is on me!" Damian shouted and we all yelled thank you. I slid into the booth and Josh went to help Damian bring back the drinks.

"I just went with the on-tap beer and a martini for Steph."

"Thanks!" we all said and started drinking. Two hours later, Steph, Ran, Blake, and Damian were dancing and Josh and I stayed at the table.

"When does Ian get back?"

"Tomorrow and he is bringing his fiancé, Ollie home, finally."

"Where is she from?"

"New Zealand. They met four years ago and have been inseparable since. You'll meet her tomorrow."

"Yay!"

"Want a refill?" Josh asked and I nodded. I watched everyone dance and smiled. I felt so content with myself and happy with how my life has turned out.

Light peaked through the curtains and I groaned. I covered my face and Josh wrapped his arm around my waist. I barely remember last night, but one thing freaked me out.

"Josh," he didn't move, "Josh," I shook him lightly.

"What?" he sat up and looked down at me.

"Did we use protection last night? I didn't take my birth control," he rubbed his face and looked over the side of the bed, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for the wrapper," he looked at me and I could see the fear in his eyes, "Shit. I'm so sorry Addy," my heart was in my throat and I climbed out of the bed. I pulled on my leggings from last night and one of his t-shirts, "Where are you going?"

"To the store. I'm going to buy a couple of tests and then take them in a couple weeks if I don't get my period," I explained and he got up too.

"I'll go with you."
