All the gifts were so amazing; I got diapers, shoes, a crib from my mom, a bunch of clothes, money, bottles, hats, etc.
I didn't at all want to leave Zach's side, like ever. I stayed sitting or standing right next to him the whole time.
...
It was time for the party to be over and everyone left but you know: Zach, my mom, Zach's mom, Olivia, and I.
"Thank you for this guys." I said with a smile. "Of course. When do you want to come over and set up the crib?" Karen asked. "We're gonna put the crib at my house." My Mom jumped in and laughed. "No, it's my daughters baby so the crib is going to my house." My mom started arguing. "It's my sons baby too." Karen continued. "Guys." I said as I was packing up all the gifts. "Honey, tell her the crib is going to our house."
I looked at Zach then over at Olivia trying to stay out of it. "It's going to be at Olivia's house." I said and made it final. Both my mom and Karen gave me a dirty look. "Olivia lives alone and I think it'd be best if I stayed there for a bit. I looked over and Olivia was smiling. "We're both alone." Karen said. "Yeah." My Mom agreed. "But it's different." I said then started carrying the stuff out to Zach's car.
"Hey, let me help you." Zach said as he came up and grabbed a box. I continued walking to the car to put it in the back seat.
"You haven't talked to me much tonight." He said. I just stood there. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I thought you were dead." I said quietly. "I'm not." He smiled. "But I thought you were. All this time no one told me that you were still alive." I said trying to hold myself together. "But I'm alive, I'm here." I looked over at Zach. "Dammit Zach. I thought you were dead! I thought I missed your funeral, I thought I was going to be a single parent. You left me with Scott." I got mad. "I thought I was going to die, I didn't just want to leave you alone." Zach tried to grab my hand. "No! You can't do that. You were just gonna give up on me that easy." I backed away from Zach. "I thought I was going to die! Can't you see that." Zach got loud too. "And I wanted to die." I said then everything got quiet.
Zach and I stood in silence for a few seconds until I started walking back towards the house. "Wait." Zach said as he ran up to me. I turned and faced him but didn't make eye contact. "I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you. I just wanted to make a good surprise for you. And telling you to go to Scott was so so stupid, and I'm sorry for that. I love you so damn much Carmen and Ava. I don't want to fight no more... you saw what Tyler did... and it could easily happen again. I don't want to waste a second with you." He explained. I looked up at him and smiled. "I love you." I said then hugged him. "I love you too." He said then kissed my forehead.
...
We dropped the stuff off at Olivia's then went out to eat, just me and Zach.
"Burger King?" I laughed. "Yep." He smiled. "So I put on this dress and did my hair for nothing." I smiled. "No, you look beautiful." He smiled back. I just blushed then held his hand and we walked inside.
"What can I get you?" The cashier said. "Can we get two juicy whoppers?" Zach smiled. The lady let out a little laugh. "Sure, will that be it?" She asked. I gave Zach a look. "Two medium fries and two mint shakes." Zach added. "Ok your total will be $11.43." She said then took the money from Zach.
...
"How's the juicy burger I owed you?" Zach asked. "Hitting the spot, Ava loves it." I smiled. "Glad to hear that." He laughed then continued eating. I stopped for a second just thinking about school. "Are we ready to go back tomorrow?" I asked. Zach put his burger down and held my hand. "I think it's time." He smiled then let go of my hand to start eating again. "Two weeks left, We'll make it." He cheesed which made me giggle.
...
We started driving back home and decided to sleep at Zach's since he hasn't slept in his bed in awhile.
...
"Ahhh this is so comfy." Zach said as he plopped down next to me on the bed. "Good." I laughed. "Today was pretty good." He said as he stared at the ceiling. "It kicked." I said as I held onto my stomach. "Yeah it did. We got so much baby stuff." He continued looking up. "No, the baby. She kicked." I smiled. "What?" Zach faced me and lifted up my shirt. "Watch." I said as I poked my stomach then the baby kicked back. "Oh my god" Zach sat up and was just so excited. "She kicked." He kept poking my stomach. "Yeah." I laughed.

"This is it." I said as I stood next to Zach in front of the school. "We got this one day at a time." He said then kissed my cheek. I put on a smile then walked in. Everyone just stared for a second then started clapping. "Wow." I smiled. "I'm going to go to my locker then I'll meet up with you in class." I said then walked over to my locker.
I grabbed my books and just smiled happy to be back. "Hey." I heard a voice. I closed my locker and it was Scott. "Hi." My smile faded. "You doing alright?" He asked. "Yeah I'm better." I half smiled. "I'm glad.." he said then it was just quiet after. "Well I'm gonna go.. I'll see you later." Scott said then walked off. As soon as he moved I looked down the hall and there she was.... I couldn't believe it...
"H- Hannah?"
