Gabbie and I make our way back to the house and to the door

"Ready?" I ask and she shakes 

"No. but it's now or never." She sighs and i open the door 

"Jack? oh, hey guys." I smile awkwardly as i walk in and see Zach, Corbyn, and Daniel all staring

"Nikki... do you know who you just brought home?" Zach asks, approaching me as though i'm drunk

"Yes, Zach. I know." I roll my eyes and he laughs in amusement 

"Where's Jack?" I ask looking around and they all just freeze and point to upstairs 

"Thank you." Gabbie smiles at the boys as we walk up stairs 

"Hey, babe." I smile as i crack open the door to his room 

"Hey, gorgeous. How's your friend?" He asks as he sits up in the bed

"About that..." I slowly open the door to reveal gabbie standing behind me 

I reach back for her hand and pull her up next to me, Jacks expression quickly changing from joy to fear

"Nikki, What's going on? I uh, i thought you hated her." Jack laughs with his nerves

"I did, for that moment  That day. Then she had explained everything, was very apologetic and is actually a very good person. And that being said, we have something to tell you..." I squeeze her hand a little as i place a small box similar to the one i gave gabbie on the end of the bed 

"What? Why are you two getting me something... together? Is it gunna hurt me?" He asks i'm a panic as he goes to pick it up

"No." Gabbie smiles

"Well, depending on how you react then maybe." I say in a more serious tone 

He grabs the box and unties the ribbon, removes the top and just observe 

"Pink sticks with ur initials on them?" He asks in sheer confusion as he looks between us 

"Jack, they're not just pink sticks." Gabbie laughs a little 

"Baby you gotta look closer." I laugh a little as well 

"Okay but i don't see the-" He stops himself as he picks up one of them. His hands turn shaky and his breath stops 

"Are these..." He asks in almost a whisper 

"Yeah. One from each." I smile as i look at gabbie then back at Jack

"Y- you mean we're having a baby? You and me? We're... were gunna have a little Nack!" He yells in excitement as he jumps off the bed 

"Yes!" I cheer happily as he picks me up into a hug and spins me

"But there's more than one stick in there." I point him back to the box and his whole expression changes 

"But that's gabbi- oh. Oh shit. We're gunna..? I'm gunna..? you're having...? Both!?" He yells in a slight panic and looks between us for signs of, well whatever he was looking for 

"Yep." Gabbie smiles 

"Both." I smile back as i grab her hand

"And you're absolute positive they're both... mine?" He questions 

"Yeah, you're the only guy i've been with in that way in the last couple months. I haven't gotten that far with my boyfriend yet." Gabbie smiles as she looks at me, then begins to laugh. She must have seen the look of relief just as i had felt it
