[Riley]
My leg will NOT stop shaking ever since I came back home after the Met. Michael went to the hospital; I didn't want to come. He's been gone for hours. It's almost 3 in the morning, I can't sleep. What if it's his? I'd still want to be with him but I don't know about Jaliyah coming over and stuff. All of this is just crazy.
Also, when I told him about Diggy, he FREAKED. I feel like if he ever sees him again, he's going to kill him on sight. Why is all this drama happening to us? All we asked for was to be in a happy, drama free relationship.

It's officially 3 in the morning. I'm about to pass out from exhaustion. I hear the front door open and I run downstairs. Michael opens up his arms and I run into them.

"Is it yours?" Is the first thing I say.

"I don't know yet. They're doing the DNA test as we speak. They will mail the results tomorrow."

"And if it's yours?"

"Then I'll take care of him."

"Don't think that I'm going to leave if he is yours. We'll both take care of him."

"I can't believe your still here right by my side."

"I can't believe I am too," I joke.

He laughs, "Yeah yeah. Why aren't you sleep?"

We walk into the living room, "Because I couldn't sleep."

"Well we both need to go to sleep. We got a long day tomorrow."

I look at him, "Okay dad."

We chuckle, go upstairs, and go to sleep.

The Next Day...

"You liked breakfast?" I ask sitting next to him on the couch.

"Duh."

"Okay smart ass," I push him.

He chuckles, "yes I liked it."

"There you go," I smile.

"You said we have a long day today...?"

"Yeah," he kisses me, "We have some things to do."

"Like what?"

"Like go to California and-

"Wa- what??"

"...you got to meet my parents before you move up in my house."

"Michael...do you keep forgetting we went to the same school? Your parents already know me; and they love me."

"Oh yeah," he laughs, "I forgot."

"I swear you can be the slowest of all slow sometimes."

"Yeah you too."

"I-

"Anyway, you don't want to see the house your moving into?"

"Well yeah but today? You should've told me earlier so I could have already packed."

"That's why I said today is gonna be a long day. Our flight is at 7 PM, you better start packing." He smacks my leg.

"And what about you?"

"It's my house dummy, I don't need to pack."

I bust out laughing, "Oh yeah."

I get up and run upstairs.

"See you can be slow too sometimes," he says.

"Shhhh!"

[Michael]

I laugh and get up to check the mail. The results are in. I put them in my back pocket, I'll open them on the plane. I go back inside and wait on Riley to finish packing; which takes her a good hour an a half.
When she's done, we go to the mall. She goes to get all her girly stuff and I go somewhere else; somewhere that when I show her what I bought, she won't believe. I keep that in my front pocket.
When we're done shopping, we go back in the car and I sneak it out of my front pocket, into a secret opening in my car. Its 6 PM and it takes us about 30 minutes to get us to the airport.
We get there, go through everything we need, and get onto the plane. When we finally get a seat, I tell her I have the DNA test.

"Why are you just now telling me this?" She asks.

"I wanted to open it with you beside me," I take it out my pocket.

We look at each other and then back at the envelope.

"Open it," She says.

I rip open the envelope and take out the folded sheet of paper. I unfold the paper and read every single word on it; until I read the very end.

"Oh shit," I mumble.
