"About that, Storm..... I - uh... I need to tell you something...." I started fishing the test out of my pocket. He was still looking at my face and couldn't see what my hand was doing. "What's wrong?" He looked at me worried even more so. I held out my hand that was holding the pregnancy test. " I'm pregnant, and it's yours. Of course you probably could have guessed that because you're the only person I've ever slept with, too. If you don't want anything to do with them, that's fine, but I'm keeping it and I won't ask anything from you, I just wanted to tell you. So whe-" For the second time, I was cut off from talking. I talk when I'm in denial. I just can't shut up, I was in denial this time because I didn't want Jason to reject me. He was covering my mouth with his hand. "Gabry, you didn't even let me talk before you started rambling on." "Sorry," I muttered through his hand. "Are you really pregnant?" He was holding the test in his other hand, I couldn't tell what emotion was flooding into his eyes as I nodded. "Gabriel Evermore, I know that it may sound like I am just telling you this now, but I love you, hell I've loved you , and I want to be apart of your life and the baby's life." I felt like I could melt when he leaned in and kissed me.

"Alright. I got this far. What next Mr. Teacher?" He laughs at me. Actually laughs at me! If he thinks that just because his laugh is one of the sexiest sounds ever that he can get away with laughing at me, he is so wrong.
