"Paris come on we're going to be late."
"Okay okay I'm coming." I looked in the mirror one more time and headed towards the living room.
"How do I look?" I was wearing sweatpants and one of Josh's t-shirts.
"Like a superstar, now can we go?"
I skipped out the door and went towards his truck.
"You need a smaller car Josh this pickup truck does not work. Especially with JP."
We decided that the code name for our baby would be JP, which is Josh and Paris.
"Listen woman I am not getting rid of this truck."
"Well we still need a smaller car and Betsy isn't gonna do."
Josh held his chest with a fake hurt look.
"I would never call her Betsy, her name's Betty."
"What a huge difference."
"Listen you can stay home missy."
I laughed as I climbed up into the truck. We drove to the airport, me looking fabulous and Josh looking common.
"Shake it off Shake it off." I was singing along to the radio, very nicely if I might add.
"Okay no more music for you." Josh turned the volume all the way down.
"I thought I sounded gorgeous."
"Gorgeous is an understatement."
I leaned over and hit him in his shoulder.
"You know that would've been hurtful if my wound was still there."
"You know that you're digging a deeper hole for yourself right?"
"I mean babe you're glowing you look so beautiful."
"Uh-huh nice try."
We pulled into the airport pick up zone and waiting impatiently by the curb was my Nana...with my mom,dad,Lilly, and Sam. I hopped out of the car.
"I thought you guys weren't coming so early and Lilly I thought you had to go back to school?"
"You are my favorite sister, I wouldn't miss seeing you for the world ."
"Lilly I'm your only sister."
"You don't know that."
I laughed and gave her a hug I love my family even though we're different.
"Remind me to tell you about Troy." She said while hopping in the back seat.
"Let me guess another boy toy of the week."
After everyone was situated in the truck we drove them to Josh's house. We had made arrangements for Lilly to stay with Josh and me, while my mom and dad stayed with Nana.
"Sam I've missed you girl, I promise not to leave you again."
"It's okay Paris I understand why it had to be done."
We all spent hours talking, and when I say we, I meant my mom.
"Oh and the baby room can be purple."
"If it's a girl mom."
"It will be, I can feel it."
Dad was trying to shut her up.
"Karen it's late. Lets go."
"Bye mom, bye dad. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
They gave me a hug and went outside to Josh's truck.
"Baby, Nana's gonna make her famous banana cream pie just for you. You look like you could use it."
"You always know the right foods to make." I giggled and I kissed her goodbye.
I watched as the truck pulled out of the driveway and drove off. Nana lived down the street so it only took 10 minutes to get there. I sat next to Lilly on the couch and faced her with my legs pressed to my chest....or at least trying to press them to my chest. I felt very uncomfortable so I just crossed them.
"Okay now tell me about that dude Trent."
"Troy," She corrected "I think I might be in love this time."
"Lilly Pad you say that about every dude. Remember Mike, Anthony, or what about that Kevin dude?"
"It was Kyle actually and that was different and when I was naïve."
"It was last month."
"Listen okay time doesn't matter, true love is the important thing."
"I'm going to quote a famous Queen. what do you know about true love?"
"Seriously Paris you're quoting Queen Elsa from frozen?"
"Well Elsa did warn Anna that she just met him and what happened? He was going to let her die so he could become King."
Just then I felt something smack me in the face, It took me a minute to realize she hit me with a pillow.
"This means war." I picked up a pillow and I returned fire but got up and ran behind the couch so she couldn't catch me. Before I knew it it was a full blown pillow fight, except she was getting most of the hits, probably because I was pregnant.
"Looks like you two are having fun." Josh said with a smile on his face.
"Lilly started it." I giggled.
"I can't leave you two alone for one minute."
I stuck out my tongue.
"It's time for this fat woman to go to bed."
"Being fat and pregnant are two different things." Lilly said.
"Thanks Lilly pad, the house keys are on the coffee table lock up before you go to sleep. Lets go to bed Josh."
"Finally some action!"
"Can I just say ewk." Lilly pretended to gag.
"Shut up at least I don't sound like a dying cow Lilly."
"Hey, hey, hey we never speak of that night!"
I laughed at the reaction that she was giving me.
"Sorry Lilly Pad." I kissed her goodnight and headed upstairs.

Lilly's Point of View
The nightlife is very quiet here so it was very unsettling. Whenever I couldn't sleep I would take a jog. I lifted myself out of bed and went into the living room. Quietly I grabbed the house keys and my sneakers and slipped out of the house. The cool breeze made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, but I didn't mind it. I put my hair into a ponytail slipped on my sneakers and began jogging. It was peaceful outside and the street lights laminated the dark tarred street. The warmth took over my body and I could no longer feel the cold breeze. I got to the now leaving Bloomsburg sign, turned around and jogged back. I was so into my thoughts that when i was running I tripped over a rock and fell on the ground. Great job Lilly.
"Are you okay?" A guy was standing over me.
Very smooth this couldn't get any worse. He picked me up off of the ground and the light hit his face. Damn and he was cute, one ticket to Loserville please?
"I'm fine I was just in my thoughts and wasn't paying attention."
My knee was pretty banged up and I'm pretty sure I had a rock stuck in it.
"Can you walk?"
I tried to walk but the rock moved further into my skin.
"No I have a rock stuck in my knee."
"I can take a look at it if you want?"
"No disrespect but I don't even know you."
"I'm sorry, my name is Jake Moore I live in that house right there." He said pointing to the house with the porch light on.
"I'm Lillian Jones, but people call me Lilly."
"Well Lilly that doesn't make us strangers anymore. Now would you like to come into the house so I can look at you?"
"Sure, but don't get any ideas I have mace."
"I promise you that is not necessary."
He put his hand on the small of my back bent down and put the other one behind my thighs and lifted me up. I've never had a guy pick me up especially not this way. He carried me into the house and led me into the living room where he placed me on the couch.
"Wow your house is amazing."
"Thank you, but it's a little big for just one person."
Jackpot! That means Mr. Moore is single. I watched as he disappeared and then reappeared with a first aid kit.
"So Lilly what were you doing outside by yourself?"
"Sometimes when I can't sleep I go for a jog and since this place is nothing like the city I had to relieve myself."
"The city meaning New York?"
"Yea I'm an Artist, well kinda, I'm still in training and someday I hope to be famous."
He put some alcohol on the little scraps and then put some on the tweezers. I flinched in pain when I felt the cold tweezers go inside my knee.
"Sorry. So what's a city girl like you doing here?"
A small moan of pain came out of my mouth as he pulled the rock out of my knee. It twinkled in the fireplace light, I could see the red blood dripping down off of it as he placed it on a napkin. He then bandaged my knee up for me.
"If you must know I came to visit my sister."
I got up off of the couch and started walking towards the door.
"Wait, please stay a little bit more? I like talking to you, you're interesting."
"What's in it for you?" I said crossing my hands over my chest ", I'm not going to sleep with you if that's what you were trying to do, because I'm not that type of girl."
To be honest I've never lost my virginity, I've done things but that was just something that I was too afraid to do. I know it sounds ridiculous a 20 year old virgin but the guys that I date aren't the type to stay after they "hit it", so until that right guy comes along my v card shall stay.
"No of course not, my parents have taught me to be a gentleman at all times, and besides I'm waiting for the right girl to come along before I give myself away. It's crazy isn't it?"
"I think it's smart. People aren't who they say they are anymore." I said, while taking a seat.
"Do you want something to drink? Wine, water, juice?"
"I'm not much of a drinker so just a little bit of wine will do."
"Coming right up."
We talked all night Jake was such a sweetheart. I actually feel something for him, nothing like the other guys that I've dated. This was like butterflies forming in my tummy. I fell asleep on his couch, when I woke up I was laying on Jake's chest. I looked up at the clock and it said 8:30. Shit! Oh gosh I hope Paris isn't up yet. She would stare me down until I told her where I've been.
I quietly got up off of Jake, he tossed over but was still sleep so I left the house and ran across the street.
"Damn I forgot the keys."
I reached for the knob and twisted it hoping that it was still unlocked, luckily it was. I was safe, now all I have to do is get back to my room quietly.
