     I was laying down in my bed waiting for this trip to end. I had left Kyle on the beach after he had apologized but not before I straightened him out for good. I don't think I would have another problem with him. I had spent most of the trip laying in bed and sleeping. Today was the last day of the trip and we were having a luau tonight.
     After today I'd have Braxton all to myself. I couldn't wait.

"Phoebe get ready lover boy is waiting for you on the beach." Kailey said through the door.

     She and I were the only ones in our cabin.

"Hold on." I said.

     Everyone had to attend the luau so I had to go. I got out of bed and went to my closet. I pulled out a cute blue maternity dress that I had packed and some white sandals. After I was dressed I opened the door and showed Kailey.

"So how do I look?" I asked.

"Someone's gonna have a hard time keeping their hands off of you." she said.

"Well let's hope he can control himself until we're alone."

     We linked arms and headed for the beach.

"Hey girls." Noah said when we got there.

"Hey bro." I said.

"Hi babe." Kailey said.

     There were three seats available next to Braxton so we sat there.

"You look amazing." Braxton mumbled into my hair.

"Thanks. You look amazing yourself." I whispered.

     I wish we were alone so I could kiss him. Stupid hormones. My stomach growled bringing me back to reality.

"Sounds like someone's hungry." he whispered.

     I put my hands on my stomach. Really babies? Next week was Christmas break. My family and Braxton's were spending it at another one of his parent's house. This would be the greatest Christmas I ever had.

"Does everyone have their stuff?" Johnny asked standing at the front of the bus.

"Yes." we all said.

     I really just wanted to go home and sleep. Whose bright idea was it to have us leave at night?

"Phoebe can I sit with you?" Vince asked.

"Go ahead." I said.

     I rather him sit here than anyone else that I don't like.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked.

"What is it?" I asked.

     The bus was kinda noisy so no one heard the conversation that we were having.

"Is there something going on between Mr. Martino and you?" he asked.

"What gave you that idea?" I asked remaining as calm on the outside as I could.

     When I was freaking out on the inside. Does he know? How did he find out? Where did we slip up? How could we be so careless?
     Who else knows? Did he tell anyone?

"Phoebe?" he said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"You didn't answer my question."

"Where would you get an idea like that?"

"Just tell me the truth."

"No."

"Then why were you two kissing?"

     My eyes went wided. I knew it.

"Wh...h...w..."

     I couldn't even form a sentence right now.

"You two were outside the mesh hall kissing. Relax I didn't tell anyone. Just be honest with me please?"

     I guess there was no use denying it since he caught us.

"Mr. Martino and I are dating." I said.

     It was his turn to be shocked.

"I thought something was going on but I never would've guessed that." he said.

"Are you going to report us?" I asked nervously.

"Does he make you happy?"

"More than you could ever know."

"I'm not going to say anything to anyone."

"Thanks Vince."

"No need to thank me."

"Yes there is. If someone was to report us Braxton could lose his job and go to jail."

"Braxton?"

"Uh...yeah." I said blushing.

"So you guys are on a first name basis?"

"Yeah."

     Vince was looking over somewhere so I followed his glaze. Braxton was looking at us. Well more like me.

"He really loves you huh?" Vince asked.

"Yea and I love him too." I said.

"I think that you two have the one relationship out of the however many relationships that'll make it just by looking at the way you two look at each other." he said turning his attention back to me.

"Really?"

"Yeah. O and one more thing."

"What?"

"Feed my son."
