Friday 9:52 P.M.

Gage: I didn't mean to
blow up on you like 
that last night... I'm 
sorry. I let my emotions
get out of hand.
Gage: Are you serious 
though? Pregnant with 
Ty's baby..? I don't 
want to hurt you, but 
look at Sophie... 
Gage: I'm still here for 
you.

I read the messages just as Harper let's Tyler inside. I know that Mama G and Harlee should be pulling up within the next 20 minutes, but I'm thankful I have time with just them. 

I wonder if Gage would still be so "here for me" if he knew that Tyler is over here at Mama Gold's getting ready to come clean about everything, and basically officiate our relationship to my family. 

He's probably thinking Tyler is going to bail on me.

"You nervous?" Ty ask, leaning across the couch until my head falls onto his shoulder.

I can see Harper's glare from the kitchen enterance way, and wish she'd stop making this more awkward than it already has to be. Thank goodness for her lack of words, or I'd have to worry about her spilling the guts about Tyler supposedly knowing the baby isn't his.

That'd probably make him bail on me...

I nod my head once, forcing a smile on my face despite the apparent nerves racing through my body. "A little..." I say, lifting my head to turn and face him. "I can't imagine Harlee and Mama G to be even half as understanding as Harper was... which wasn't much at all, honestly."

Ty let's out a nervous laugh, though I can tell he's trying not to let his nerves show in the slightest. 

"They'll live." he says as he shrugs his shoulders. "Harlee and I have been done for a long time, honestly -and we held on for so long after that, it got to the point where we wanted to see each other happy."

He pauses, only for a moment, while he readjusts himself on the couch beside me. 

"If this is our happiness? They should accept that." he concludes. "It could take a while, but they will... Eventually."

He plants a hard kiss on my forehead, ignoring Harper's gawk from across the room as he transitions mid way to a kiss on my lips. 

I can't help the warm feeling that washes over my belly as he does. 

Ty fucking Robson might love me, for real. 

I motion for Harper to join us in the living room, knowing now would probably be the perfect time to bring something up that I know I have to run by Mama G when she gets here.

If I have Harper's support before I begin, I know I'm more likely to get away with it.

"So I want to break the news to my family out in Pennsylvania..." I begin as soon as Harper seats herself across from us. She immediately grows uncomfortable- but keeps it at bay. "I know they've never really been there for me- but I still think they deserve to know..."

Tyler doesn't take long to agree with me, but Harper knows that there is somebody in Pennsylvania that hurts me- he doesn't.

"Mom isn't going to be too thrilled, you know that right?" Harper responds, her tone unimpressed. "Can't you call them? Video chat? Last time she sent you out there, you weren't back until weeks later..."

I shake my head, though I know I haven't exactly given Mama G a reason to trust me when it comes to traveling alone.

"No Harper, that's not even fair- they're my family, too!" I respond after a moment. "I'll be there for a couple days, max! I just want to break the news in person!"

Harper looks uncertain, but ultimately tells me that she understands- and most importantly, that she'll back me up when I ask Mama G.

That's good news. No- great news!

Last night, after I spoke with Tyler about the whole pregnancy- I texted Rob to let him know we need to talk about when the news will inevitably come out to Dane.

He only informed me that Dane has been out of town on accident, but I thought that'd be a great opportunity to link up.

Though reluctantly, Rob agreed to meet me on Wednesday while Dane made another trek across the state.
