The rest of that night was incredible.
I gave away a part of me to the man I loved, and I was okay with that.
It was now three in the afternoon, and Shay and I were standing in the lobby of JFK airport.
Garret was waiting for us when we arrived.
"Sasha!" he yelled.
Shay laughed and released my hand so I could run and hug my best friend.
"I missed you so much," I sighed into his shoulder.
He laughed. "I've missed you guys too," he said.
He and Shay did that guy hug where they shake hands and hug at the same time.
"How was it?" Garret asked excitedly.
Shay and I shared a look.
"Oh gosh, you two hooked up, didn't you?" Garret said.
I smacked his arm. "Garret!"
He held up his hands. "You aren't doing that great of a job at hiding it," he mumbled.
Shay let out a laugh. I'm sure my face was bright red.
The taxi ride back to the dorms was bittersweet.
I was glad to be back, but I wasn't. Being back meant that Leah would find out about us-even though she swore to me that it was okay, I know she'll be a little hurt-but I like the familiarity.
The boys got all of our luggage and walked it inside for us.
We stopped at my room first. "Thanks," I said, taking my suitcase from Garret.
"No problem. I'll see you later," he said. Once he was behind Shay, he held up the "call me" signal and winked.
I smiled.
Shay rolled his eyes. "He is so nosey, I swear," he chuckled.
"I'll see you later. I need to unpack and call Jay," I said. I pressed my lips to his quickly before entering my room.
I grinned to myself as I shut the door.
Leah wasn't here. I will text her later.
"Hello?" Jay answered.
"Hey! How are you and Angie?" I asked.
"Hey kiddo! We're fantastic. I have some news I've been meaning to share with you," he said happily.
"Tell me."
"We're pregnant!"

**7 months later**
Shay, my boyfriend-insert happy squeal here-and I were standing outside my Memphis home.
"Try knocking again. It's hot," Shay complained.
I laughed. We had both gotten so used to the non-humid New York weather.
As I reached out to knock again, Angie flung open the door.
"Sasha!"
"Angie!"
I would've hugged her, but her massive pregnant belly stopped me.
She gathered me into a rather awkward embrace and kissed Shay on the cheek.
"C'mon in you two," she said happily, "you can put your things in the guest room Shay," she said.
"Ang," I chided.
"No. None of that will be happening while you two are here," she said with a wink.
Shay looked so uncomfortable, I had to laugh.
I kissed him. "I love you, you know," I said quietly once Angie had left us alone in the living room.
"I love you too, baby," he said with a smile.
We took our things upstairs. I put my things in my room and he put his across the hall, but not without my insistent urging and stubbornness.
When we reentered the living room, Jay rushed up and engulfed me in a giant bear hug.
"Hey kiddo," he said.
"Hey Jay," I giggled back.
He released me and looked up at Shay. Jay was about an inch shorter, but not any less intimidating.
He extended his hand towards my boyfriend.
"Jason Jacobs. Who are you and why are you dating my sister?"
I covered my mouth with my hands to hide my amusement.
Shay grasped the outstretched hand.
"Shay Riley, uh, sir. And I am dating your sister because I love her more than anything else in this world," he answered.
Jay nodded. "Good answer."
"Dinner's ready!" Angie called.
We all made our way into the dining room.
Angie had made me tacos.
Do you know how long it had been since I had eaten some good homemade tacos? Way too long.
"This looks awesome Ang," I said hungrily.
After about five minutes of silence, Jay spoke.
"We've been thinking about names, you know, for the baby, and we want your input," he said to us.
They decided not to find out the gender of the baby until it was born, so they had two different lists. One for boys names, and one for girls.
Jay handed them too me and I scanned them over.
Boys:
Simon
Henry
Austin
Girls:
Marley
Sophia (Sophie)
Stella
"What do you think?" I asked Shay after he read them all.
"Uh, well, if it's a boy, I'd go with Simon, and if it were a girl, Marley."
"Marley is my favorite too," I said and Angie smiled.
"Ours as well," she said happily as she placed her hand on top of Jay's.
When they looked at each other, you saw the forever kind of love in their eyes.
I wanted that.
I wanted that with Shay.
