Seth dropped me off in front of Jarak's front door and I lightly rapped on it, watching as he drove off. I was going to text him when needed him to get me and he would show up, like always. I wasn't sure what he did between times, but I guess it wasn't my business.

Delta answered the door, the smile on her face fading off as soon as she saw me into a look of confusion. "Mari- what are you doing here?" She asked lightly, he voice guarded.

"We need to talk Delta." I sighed. She looked around for a second before nodding, moving to the side so I could step in. I had never actually been to Jaraks, I had gotten his address from Grey earlier today which is the only reason I knew where to go.

I'm sure Seth would have known if I didn't get it from Grey. I looked around at the spacious living room that hung off to the right of the entry way. the other side led into the kitchen and a back deck and in the middle was a staircase.

"Um, do you want wine?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"Can you even drink babe?" her eyes widened hearing me speak and her hand shot to her mouth.

"Oh my god you know." I let out a sigh and nodded.

"Of course I know babe. How could you not tell me?" I asked, my heart sinking.

"How could I tell you?" Her words resembled Grey's, almost down to a T. "Mari, everything you went through, everything you felt. How could I tell you that I thought I was pregnant so close to when you lost one. You were heartbroken Amara. You didn't eat, you didn't speak. Grey was in pieces and you were suffering alone. I couldn't-" She broke out in sobs. "I couldn't-"

She couldn't manage to get anymore words out over her own sobs. I nodded, pulling her into me and resting her head on my shoulder. She cried as I held her, running my hands through her hand and trying to calm her.

"I'm so sorry baby. I know. I am so sorry that I wasn't there though. I know what I went through, I cant imagine how you must be feeling right." I actually had a pretty good idea but i wasn't going to ruin anything for her.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I wanted to, I really really did." She cried. I just nodded and ran my fingers through her hair as we moved to the couch.

Sitting down I pulled her into my lap. "Just tell me what's going on. What has happened over the past few weeks. What have you not told me?" I asked, wanting to know everything that has been on her mind over the past few weeks. "And when we are done talking, lets get Dylan over here and we can have a girls night, make forts in th living room and watch scary movies?" I asked.

I really didn't want to sleep at home if Grey wasn't going to be there. I wasn't sure why, but the thought of the big empty bed and the flat being empty, freaked me out a bit.

She let out a small laugh and nodded.  "Sounds like a plan." She sat up straight before a moment and took a few deep breaths, finding a way to find her voice.

"Okay, what's going on?" I said, grabbing her hand and squeezing it lightly.

"A month or do ago, i got sick. It was only in the morning and then it went away and I didn't think anything of it. It went away a week later so I brushed it off as a bug. Then my period was late, and I began to freak out. So I took a test, and it was positive." She sighed, and then nodded to continue. "So I told Jarak, and we made plans about what we were going to do and if we wanted to be together forever and he talked about getting married. I freaked out. Mari I'm not ready for any of that. It-its to soon."

"So, what did you do?" My situation was a lot messier, I didn't tell Grey immediately like I should have.

"I went to the doctor. He tested me, and then tested my blood. And it was a false positive." I didnt think those happened. "When I found out.....I was, upset. I didn't think I would be because I knew I wasn't ready, but for some reason, I knew that I wanted it. Jarak was a bit relieved but he was in the same boat that I was in. In all of the worry and scares, I was also kind of glad to be pregnant." I remembered the feeing flooding me, how it felt to have lost my child, that part of me was still feeling it.

"I love him Mari. And i want to be with him forever, it was by no means a way of trapping him with me, but I was happy, knowing that no matter what he was going to be a part of my life forever." I could feel her pain as she spoke.

"Ive been kind of lost, thinking about the future and what it holds, will we still be together or will we separate. He asked me to move in with him, and I cried. I wasn't sure if it was because of the pregnancy thing or not. But Amara I am so glad you know. It takes so much weight off."

She broke out into a grin, as i pulled her into a hug. "Me to babe, me too."

"Hey no you're not allowed in here." Delta scolded Jarak as he tried to enter our clubhouse that we had built in the middle of the living room.

"But the TV is in there." He pouted.

"Go use the one in our room." She grinned, pushing him out of the room. Dylan and I were sitting in the middle of the tent with the remote as we flipped through channels.

We had moved chairs around the room and used hair tyes and clips so tie bed sheets everywhere across the room and even over the TV so we could see it in our tent. We each had a bowl of ice cream and were eating it by the mounts.

Delta climbed back in and closed our fake door as we handed her back the ice cream. We had put on one of the recent Annabel movies and shut the lights out. "So, when does Grey get home?" Dylan asked since I told them I didn't want to go home.

"I'm hoping tomorrow night, I miss him." I said shoving ice cream in my mouth and not taking my eyes off the screen.

"did you guys talk. Laken was pretty pissed when you bounced last night." Dylan mentioned. I nodded and shrugged it off.

We couldn't stay up super late since we all had classes tomorrow morning. Laken had texted me telling me he made me an appointment and gave me the time and address. I was going to have to skip my last class but I could set the rest up myself.

"I worked it all out, everything is good again."I offered her a smile and she took it. I was right though, the feeling in my stomach had already gotten a little bit better.

I was hoping it stayed the same tomorrow.
