    It has been five months since my mistake and I can't even touch her shoulder without her pushing me away. I miss her. I miss her trust. Her warmth. Betty walks into the apartment after going out with Cheryl and Toni and walks up to me. She stares into my eyes for a second before kissing me. I grip her hips, kissing her harder. She jumps into my arms and wraps her legs around my hips. I don't say anything, I want this moment to last forever.
    She pulls her lips away from mine and stares blindingly into my eyes. "Juggie, I'm ready."
    "Ready for what?"
    "I want a baby."
    "What did Cheryl say to you?"
    "I'll tell you about it after, okay?"
    "No wait, stop." I can't believe I just said that. "Betty, I don't want to have a baby with you just because I'm here and you have to. I want to have a baby with you because I love you."
    She sighs, jumping down off of me. "Juggie, I love you too." She walks over to the couch and sits down, I take a seat next to her. "Cheryl told me that everyone makes mistakes and we can't just push aside what we want just because of a mistake that you obviously feel bad about."
    I stare at her for a second.
    "What?" She asks.
    I push my lips against hers and lay on top of her. "Okay."
    "Okay, what?" She giggles.
    "Let's have a baby."
    We are quickly interrupted by Betty's phone. She grabs it and sees sweetpeas' name across the screen.
    "Hello? Oh, oh my God. Yeah, we'll be right there."
