You're the Light That Guides Me Out (Scallison)

Looking to the Future

I was laying on my bed and Scott was sitting at the edge with a notepad writing down potential names.

"If we are having a baby, if its a girl, can we name her after your mom," I ask.

Scott turns around and stares at me. "You'd want to name her after my mom?"

I sit up so that I was looking directly at him. "Of course. If it wasn't for your mom, you wouldn't be here. And I don't want to imagine a world without you in it. Because a world like that isn't a world I'd want to be in."

Scott crawls towards me and hovers over me. "What if we're having a boy?"

"We could make him a junior. Scott McCall Jr."

He laughs. "How about Liam Christopher McCall?"

"Christopher after my dad?" He nods. "Why?"

"He moved you here. If you hadn't of come to Beacon Hills, I wouldn't have known you had existed. And that is a crime in itself."

I stroke his cheek. "I love you so much. What if the doctor says that I'm not pregnant?"

Scott shrugs. "We'll just have to wait and maybe one day after college we'll actually try for a child and see what happens." He sits up and pulls me with him. "What do you want the doctor to say?"

"Honestly, I don't feel entirely ready to be a mom especially at seventeen. But I know that I definitely want a family with you one day. So I want the doctor to say that I'm pregnant, just not anytime soon." I lean my forehead against his. "Are you mad?"

"No, of course not. I feel the same way but I'd be totally fine with us being parents sooner than originally planned. I think we could be better parents if we were older but either way I know our kid would be amazing."

"With you as the dad, how could they not be?"

Scott kisses me and I felt my head slowly make contact with my pillow. I run my fingers through his hair and it was just the best feeling in the world to have Scott so close. I hope I never get used to the feeling of having his lips against mine. He stops though and when I try to pull him back he moves farther away.

"What are you doing? Kiss me."

"Not until you say you'd be a great mom. Because our kids are gonna be amazing because they have an amazing mom." He smiles down at me. "So say it. Say you'd be a great mom."

I smile up at him. "I'd be a great mom."

"That's right."

I grab his neck and pull him into a kiss. Scott smiles at me when we pull away for air.

"What," I ask with a giggle. "What's that smile for?"

Scott scoots down the bed so that he was hovering over my stomach. He lifted my shirt just enough to reveal my stomach and placed a gentle kiss.

"What do you think our baby would look like?"

I smile at him and lean on my forearms so I could make eye contact with him again. He had a twinkle in his eyes and I don't think I've ever been more in love with him than in this very moment. I stretch one hand out so it would be in his hair and slowly run my fingers through.

"I think our baby would have your bright brown eyes and your hair. Our baby would have your angelic glow and giant heart. Our baby would be the handsomest or prettiest baby in town, possibly the world."

Scott shakes his head even though my fingers are still in his hair. His smile didn't falter, not for a second.

"I think if we had a girl, she'd look just like her mother and I hope she has your brains. If we had a boy, I think he'd have my passion for sports and your blinding smile. I'm happy no matter what because they'll be our kid. A life we made out of love and that's all I've ever dreamt of."

I grab his shoulders and tug him so he was leveled with me again. I flipped us over so that I was straddling him and leaned down to press my forehead to his.

"I love you. I know I should be a little worried about possibly being pregnant while still in high school but I'm not. I'm not worried at all because as long as I have you, I'll be ready for anything."

"I love you," he says gently.

"I love you too." I rub my nose against his. "Now can we please get back to making out?"

The next day, we went to the hospital for the test and after that headed back to Scott's house. I was laying on Scott's bed. He was beside me, head propped on his hand. Goofy smile present as he stares at me.

"You're so beautiful," he says. "I just can't stop looking at you."

I move closer to him and bury my face in his chest. "You are so cheesy."

"I'm serious."

I wrap my arms around him so I could bury myself further into his chest. Scott let's me and I sigh in content.

"Gonna take a nap?"

I smile. "Maybe."

He kisses the side of my head. "I'll be right here when you wake up. I won't even move."

I pull away and look into his eyes. "Is this what I have to look forward to in the future? You not leaving my side?"

"Pretty much, but I'm mostly practicing for when you're pregnant and really need me at your side."

"I know I said that I didn't want to be a mom at this time, but when the doctor told us that I wasn't pregnant, I was a little disappointed. I got really excited about us possibly having a kid. If I was gonna be pregnant in high school, I wouldn't want to be having a baby with anyone except you. I was really happy about the idea of us starting a family together."

Scott pecks my lips gently. "We'll have a family one day. You, me, our wonderful children. It'll be a nice family."

I nod and drift into a peaceful sleep with Scott's arms holding me gently.
