"What you are having a baby?" Michael stammers as we stand there in the airport together. I nod yes. "Are you sure that you are?" he asks me.

I sigh taking a deep breath. "You know where we left off. We made love a lot. And yes, I am having your baby. I checked many times. I believe this baby is the reason why you did not end up marrying Tracy. Like you should have. I messed everything up. And I do not know what I should do to fix it" I mutter as tears come falling down my face. He takes me in his arms. He holds me close.

"Hey no tears. We will figure out what to do next. Do you want to keep the baby?" he wonders.

I nod yes. "Of course, I do! This baby is a part of me. And a part of you. This baby was created by our love" I ramble on. "Who knows if I will ever be able to have a child again by the man I love"

"Come with me. We will go home. Think over what needs to be done next. And go from there" he says taking care of me.

We go get my luggage. He carries it for me. I was happy to see him again. Even though he was so much older than me he still was as handsome as ever. The same kind eyes. The handsome smile that I fell for. All of it.

We get in his car and he drives us to his place. He orders some take out food by my request. His place was just as I left it. Like from the 80's. I wondered why Michael had not moved into a bigger place. Or redecorated his home. But I did not want to be rude and ask him. That was none of my business. It was kind of nice that everything remained the same after all this time. Like stepping back in the time warp.

"I could not bare to change it when you left. I thought about it. Many times. But it did not feel right. I felt you were here with me. And I loved that" he says as though he read my mind. I hug him.

"I was so upset that day. I cried in the machine on the way home. I cried when I got home. I was so unhappy after leaving you behind like that" I admit to him.

"I am not grossing you out being so old and wrinkly?" he jokes with me. I touch his cheek with my hand.

"No, I know you. And I love you. I do not care about age. We love each other. You once said not even time can change that. And you are right" I say softly.
