Chapter 1

Juno rest her head on Mark's shoulder as they continued their small dance. Juno felt so content, so happy. She didn't know why, but she secretly loved when Vanessa wasn't home. Mark set his chin on her head and sighed. Juno closed her eyes and let her mind wander when suddenly Mark spoke.

"I'm leaving Vanessa."

Juno froze and pulled away from him. "What?! No no you can't leave her! You two are going to take care of this baby together!" she yelled.

"I know. But it's not going to work that way…we're just not in love with each other anymore." he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Oh yes you are, come on. No, you're just confused…I-" she stopped and looked down.

"Well, how do you think of me? I mean, why are you over here?" he asked.

Juno's heart was racing. Good question, she thought. But she had no idea what to say to that. "Uhmm well…" she looked up and met his eyes. A slight smile came across her face. God, Mark really was adorable and they had soo much in common. And he's right, she chose to come see him. She knew he would be home alone but she loved it.

"I can tell you what I think.." Mark said as he moved closer to her. "I think…that in some crazy event we happened to meet each other, and yeah we connect, but it's something more. You just make me feel…well, young again, and we can laugh and talk about anything and everything." He paused as he set his hand on Juno's shoulder. She felt her heart begin to race and she could tell she was definitely blushing like non other!

Juno sighed. "In an odd way, I completely agree. I mean, I feel so different when I'm with you and-" she paused., she knew she just had to tell him how she felt. "-and I'm over here because I wanted to be alone with you, and yes I knew Vanessa wasn't here but that just made it better. I mean, there is seriously nothing better than chillin' with you and rockin' to some tune-age…even if it's sissy stuff" she flashed him a smile.

"Really." He said as he put his arm on her shoulder. Juno felt hot, the way he said 'really' sent a chill down her spine. God he's sexy, she thought to herself with a smile.

"Yeah really." She said softly.

Mark moved his body closer to her causing her breathing to increase greatly. She wasn't sure if he was going to kiss her or not, but just the thought of it got her extremely excited. She closed her eyes as he whisked her bangs back from her face. He moved in even closer until he heard the garage door opening. "Shit, that's Vanessa." They both stepped back quickly and ran upstairs. Vanessa walked into the kitchen and jumped when she heard Juno's voice greet her.

"Vanessa! Hi! How's it goin?"

"Uhh hi Juno. What are you doing here?" she asked looking over at Mark quizically, who was trying to keep from grinning.

"Oh, I just wanted to keep you updated on things…I uh, I'm expecting the baby here in about a week." She said swinging her arms back and forth and nodding her head.

"Oh yes, uh- well thank you.." Vanessa said seeming uncomfortable.

"Well! I gotta bounce, just wanted to stop by for a second and keep you updated on this baby shizz. Can you believe that thing's actually gonna pop outta me? Crazy!" she headed for the door and turned around to give Mark one last smile. He winked and smiled as she walked out the door.

Mark sighed. "So."

"So…about a week or so!" Vanessa said raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah, uhm, we need to talk." They both sat down and Mark took in a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts. "Look, I know this baby means the world to you and you've wanted one for a really long time."

"Yeah, and?"

"Well, I'm just not ready to be a father yet." He said softly.

Vanessa glared at him. "You're…not ready?"

"I'm not. And I'm sorry but that's the way it is." He said.

"Well…no. No, I've wanted this for too long. We are soo close and I'm not going to throw it all away because you're not ready to be a grown up yet." She stood up.

"Well…I'm sorry. But it's your choice." He paused. "A baby……or me."

She looked up at him with obvious anger and frustration. "I want a baby more than anything in the world."

Mark stood up, put his hands in his pockets and sighed. "I'll go call a lawyer."
