Today, Forever, And Always

Annie's POV
I drove to a small town, Wrightwood. Worth the 90 minute drive, I had to make sure no one saw me. I find the nearest drug store. I walk to the aisle full of things, things you hope you won't need to buy for a long time. I grab one and walk up to the counter. It's a girl, she looks my age. I see a picture with a little girl.
"Is this your daughter?"
"Yeah. She's 11 months." She says with a smile.
"Was it uh, scary having her? I mean your so young." I say weakly, my voice cracking.
"It was. But all that fear, it goes away once you hold your baby for the first time." She says with a smile.
"She's adorable. Uh how much do I owe you."
"I got it." She says softly.
"Thank you." I whisper and run out the store. The car ride all I could do was think. Over think for that matter. What if I am pregnant. I'm only 18. We just got engaged. I won't be a good mom, I'm just learning how to be an adult. Hayden and I always talked about having kids, but are we ready? But if I am. I'm gonna be the best damn mom I can be. I arrive at my house. I run into the bathroom.
....
I need to go home. I cover my wrist. Being an actress pays off, learning stage makeup. If I didn't have a cut in the first episodes and then I fall the next day they have to cover it otherwise there's inconsistency's. I only know this since when I was 12, filming we are savvy. I started out filming with white nail polish so we had to keep re painting them for the rest of the season. I finished up, and got in my car. I collected my thoughts and started driving. I pulled up to the gates.
"Leblanc Residence." Henry the security guard says. He's a year younger than me. He's like my little brother.
"Hey cutie it's Annie. Let me in." I cheerily say.
"Of course beautiful." I smile. The gates open. I park my car and slowly walk inside. I see Hayden pacing, and Brooke trying to calm him down. Rush playing with Hayley. Their heads snap in my direction. Hayden rushes over to me and picks me up. I lay my head on his shoulder.
"Hayden i have something to tell you." My voice cracks.
