Elana P.O.V.

I fell asleep on the plane that night. By morning I was in Miami. I was so excited along with Tristen. We entered our new home and settled in. I received a call from Iris but I didn’t want to answer it. Forget it. I don’t have time for baby trouble. I put the comforters on my bed and laid on them.

Daniel P.O.V.

I woke up this morning and decided to go to Iris house today. I put on my sweater and headed over. When I came over she opened the door and greeted me in. She seemed jolly today. We sat in her living room on either side of the couches. She smiled at me but then it faded.

Iris: What’s wrong? You look like you just committed murder.

Daniel: I miss the plane to get Elana back; now she’s gone and she going to move on.

Iris: No she’s not. I’m not pregnant and she isn’t moving on. So don’t worry. Try calling her.

Daniel: *calls and gets no answer* see?

Iris: Hmm….but that doesn’t mean anything. At least she loves you. I doubt Khalil and I will get back to how we use to; speaking of which he’s suppose to be coming soon. *doorbell sound* well here goes. *gets the door*

Daniel: *stares at the door and then pulls out his phone*

Iris: *brings Khalil to the living room*

Khalil: Hey Diggy.

Diggy: Hi Khalil. *scoots over so Khalil could sit*

Iris: So Khalil I’m not pregnant. Aren’t you happy?

Khalil: Happy for Diggy. But for you, I don’t know. You hurt me.

Diggy: I’m going to leave. Bye Iris and Khalil. *walks out*

Iris P.O.V.

Iris: I’m sorry. I was drunk that night.

Khalil: Why did you do it?

Iris: We got into a fight and so did my mom and I.

Khalil: That’s why you’re supposed to talk to me no matter how mad am I at you or how mad you are at me. *pulls her into lap* I love you.

Iris: *cries* I’m really sorry. *buries head into Khalil’s chest*

Elana P.O.V.

Diggy keeps calling me but I’m scared to answer. Could he really be a father? I didn’t want to here that part but eventually I have to talk to him. Tristen came running into my room overly excited.

Elana: Girl what’s wrong with you? *smiling*
Tristen: Iris isn’t pregnant!!! That’s what twist told me. *grinning*
Elana: That’s probably why Diggy and Iris keeps calling me *laughs* oops.
Tristen: *hops onto Elana’s bed* Well call him.
Elana: Fine. I didn’t really want to just yet. *dials number and he answers*

[PHONE CONVERSATION]

Diggy: Elana?
Tristen: Hey Diggy!!! *laughs*
Elana: Hi Daniel *smiles*
Diggy: Hey
Elana: Congratulations on not being a father
Diggy: You knew and didn’t call me?
Elana: I just found out like two minutes ago. How are you?
Diggy: I miss you and I want you to come home.
Elana: Uh…..
Tristen: *looks at Elana*
Elana: *looks back at Tristen and shakes head no* Hey Diggy I can’t do that.

Diggy: What?! Why? She’s not pregnant. I thought that’s why you left if she was pregnant. There isn’t really a reason for to be out there now.

Elana: Hold on *puts Diggy on hold and cover mouth speaker* is your parents going to let you come back home now that the situation is cleared up?

Tristen: I talk to them this morning and they still think that Twist will do something like what happened to Iris and Diggy.

Elana: Well until they say yes to letting you come back to New Jersey I’m going to stay here with you.

Tristen: *smiles* Thank you

Elana: *takes Diggy off hold* Diggy I’m sorry but I can’t come out there just yet. It’s for a different reason.

Diggy: You serious? I just want you to come back.

Elana: I know but I have to be here for Tristen right now.

Diggy: Twist can take care of her. But I need you right now.

Elana: Daniel you’re being selfish. Twist doesn’t know why she’s actually out here. Trust me if it wasn’t for this situation both of us would be back to New Jersey before you knew it. I promise I would.

Diggy: I want to be mad you but we’re not actually together. I had forgotten about that. So we’re just friends?

Elana: Yes but don’t date anyone and neither will I. I’ll be home soon and we’ll be back together. *smiles*

Diggy: Fine. *gets a little sad* *sighs* I have to go.

Elana: Ok sweetheart call me later.

Diggy: Ok bye. *hangs up*

I turned and looked back at Tristen. At least he’s not mad I guess. I thought a fight was going to occur. Tristen and I got up from the bed to make some lunch.  My Daniel is so sad and I’m not there to comfort him.
