We had been here at the cabin for a couple of hours eating and talking. We also went out and walked around. I could tell that Colby was comfortable again and it was now time to tell him that I was pregnant. My nerves started to show as I made Colby sit down on a bench outside.

"Okay I brought you here because I wanted to tell you something really important that is going to change our lives. If you don't want to be with me anymore I completely understand because this is a big thing and I don't wanna ruin your life."

Colby tried to stand up and say something to me but I pushed him down and told him to be quiet, "Colby... I'm pregnant."

I handed him the picture and the doctor's paperwork before walking to look at the view. I knew that the news was a lot to handle and I wanted to let him think. When I was at the doctor's office I was asked who the dad was and when I told them Colby's name they put it on the paperwork.

I could hear footsteps walking up behind me and I prepared myself for the worst. I felt him wrap his arms around me and hug me from behind. I started to cry silently afraid that this was the last time I would ever be with him again.

Colby turned me around to face him and wiped my tears away, "Why're are you crying?"

"I'm scared to lose you and everyone else that I care about. I don't even have my parents anymore. I'm scared." Colby pulled me into a hug and I felt safe and happy in his arms.

"You'll never lose me baby, I love you and this baby. Yes we are both not ready for kids but I am not going to leave you ever. Besides I've known that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you anyway."

I giggled and pushed him away, "Fucking weirdo."

He caught my hand and pulled me back to him, "I love you so much, Aiden Bradshaw."

I pulled him in for a kiss, "I love you more, Cole Robert Brock. Move in with me?"

He looked confused for a moment, "I was gonna ask you the same thing but your house is bigger than my apartment..."

I thought for a moment before making my decision, "I'll move in with you so that you can stay close to your friends."

He hugged me tightly and I laughed. This boy is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I was so excited to start this journey with him. Colby pulled away and looked at me in concern.

"What about your sports and school or work?" I stifled a laugh.

"Babe I graduate in 4 days and that means I won't have college sports anymore. As for work, I was going to work until I got too big to walk around." He nodded and sighed.

"I can't believe we're having a baby. I'm excited and nervous but I know that together we'll be great parents." I kissed him on the lips before getting in the drivers seat again and driving us back to his complex.

I had a feeling that we should tell the boys what was going on and I was afraid of what was going to happen. I had a feeling that they would be happy for us but that they would be disappointed and angry at what that meant for their career. 

I was terrified of what Sam was going to do. I know that Sam likes me and is happy that I am making his best friend happy, but what if he starts to hate me and starts to think about how I'm taking his best friend away from him. 

It's always been just Sam and Colby plus some of their friends. Colby always said that he would never want to start a family in LA. I could feel my heart race as I drove back to his apartment. I wasn't going to let Colby move from his friends and change everything.

I would need to talk to Colby about what to do and how we both feel about this. I pulled into Colby's parking spot and climbed out of his car. I was met with Colby at the staircase as we climbed up to his floor. My nerves started to get really bad and I could feel my hands shaking.

Colby and I walked to Sam's apartment and knocked on the door. We heard Sam and the other two boys laughing as we heard footsteps and the door opened. Sam grinned at us and let us into his apartment. I walked in front of Colby and sat on the couch looking at the boys. 

Colby walked toward me and smiled widely letting me know that he wasn't worried about what his friends would think. He sat next to me and grabbed my hand as he watched his friends talk about random things.

"Hey guys, Aiden and I have something to tell you..."

Once we had their attention, Sam nodded at Colby to continue. Colby looked at me and grinned before kissing my forehead making me feel slightly better about this situation.

"Aiden and I are having a baby." I could see the shock written all over their faces as they looked between Colby and I. 

Sam's face turned from one of shock to disappointment and worry. That's what I was worried about. Before anybody could say anything I told Colby that I would be in his apartment while he talked to his friends.

I stood up and I could feel the tears in my eyes beginning to fall. I kept my face down and walked to Sam's door. I felt a hand pull me back and was faced with Corey. He pulled me into a hug and held me tightly. I felt numb. I didn't have the heart to hug him back and pulled out of the hug leaving Sam's apartment.

I walked into Colby's apartment and ran to his room. I laid in the bed and let the tears stream down my face quietly as I could hear Sam and Colby yelling back and forth. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I knew that Sam and Colby were both upset.

I heard a door open and felt the bed dip beside me. I looked up from the pillow to see Corey and Jake in the room with me. I tried to hold back the sob that escaped my throat but couldn't and frowned when I saw them look at me in worry.

"Aiden, are you okay?" I looked at Corey and shook my head.

I sniffled a bit, "No, I never wanted to ruin his life. I didn't want this and if I didn't hate abortion... I had so much planned in my life and now I'm having a kid with the guy that I love. I'm ruining everything for him though. He doesn't deserve this. He deserves to live freely without worry."

Jake pulled me up into a sitting position and hugged me tightly, "Aid everything happens for a reason and Colby is so excited to raise a kid with you. Sam is just having a hard time thinking about losing his best friend."

I shook my head, "Sam hates me now. I never wanted this to happen. I'm not taking him away that's the thing. Yeah Colby always said that he would never raise a kid in LA but I'm not gonna take him away from you guys and his life here."

"I feel like such a burden and I hate that this is happening to us because we were too stupid to think like adults. I love him so much guys it hurts. I don't want him to leave because of me. I don't want him to lose his best friend because of me. I want him to be happy."

I pulled away from Jake and looked at the two boys. I wiped away my tears and looked away for a moment. I needed to talk to Sam by myself even if he did hate me now. I crawled out of bed and walked to Sam's door. I took a deep breathe and walked in...
