Back at the Delko sisters, Jake climbed in beside Shannon. feeling his warmth she moved closer.
"Shannon... what's wrong? You've been so quiet and withdrawn the last few days. I'm really worried about you."
"I'm sorry Jake. I'm really sorry."
"Sorry about what? I don't understand Shannon. Please... help me understand.
"I'm pregnant. I found out two days ago. We are going to have a baby."
Jake's hand froze on her hip. She could feel his body tense.
"Pregnant? Are you sure. But we were so careful Shannon. We did everything right."
"Not everything. Think back to that night, at Heather's frat party. We escaped down the stairwell and made love. We realized to late, that we forgot our protection. That was when you caught me."
Jake thought about it. All their plans for their future would now need to be moved forward. Everything they had scheduled for certain times frames, gone, all gone. Leaving in their wake a child. Unplanned at that.
"This isn't good Shannon. It's not suppose to be this way. We're not even married yet. God... I'm not ready to be a father, the thought of it freaks me out."
"Well I'm sorry. I know it wasn't planned. But that doesn't make him or her a mistake. A child is never a mistake Jake. Ever."
"Maybe not to you Shannon. But at this point in time, for me it is."
Sara was nearing her breaking point, as was Sharon. They could hear Jake practically breaking their sisters heart. They could feel her pain, feel it, like it was their own. Getting out of bed, Devon pulled Sara back down.
"Leave it Sara, give Jake a chance to allow it to sink in. Just trust in their relationship."
"You better be right. Cause I can feel my sisters pain. Feel it like it was my own."
Pulling her back down. He held her close.
"I know you can Sara. Think we don't know how close you three are? Think we don't notice it each time you're all together?"
Removing her hair, from her beautiful face, he softly kissed her.
"I love you Sara. Just let them work through it alone."
Back in the room, Jake was staring at the ceiling. What were they going to do? How were they going to be able to juggle their careers and a child too? Hearing Shannon crying was breaking hid heart. She was right, their child wasn't a mistake, he or she just wasn't planned at the right time.
Turning to face Shannon, he placed his fingertips under her chin, and as she looked up at him, he whispered...
"Shannon... I know I said some things to hurt you right now. words I didn't honestly mean. It was just such a shock. We planned for so much more before having children. Now all that has to be altered. I'm sorry for saying our child was a mistake. I love you, Shannon and we will get through this. Together."
Wrapping her in closer, he passionately kissed her. Sliding his hands down her hips, inside her thighs, as she softly cried into his mouth. Carefully turning her, so her body was under his. Where he could see the teardrops drying on her lids.
"I love you,Shannon. You and our child."
Deep within her soul now, he could see the passion burn. Leaving in its wake, new beginings, for them and their child. Knowing that even though their dreams would be altered, they would still have each other to build a world full of happiness, and love.
