I was watching Dirty Dancing for the first time in forever, so I was inspired to write about what would happen next. Enjoy whoever comes across this in my computer files. Kenney xoxo
I Hope SoBaby leaned her back against the smooth edge of the toilet.
She lifted her head and looked at the little plastic stick in her hand. A little pink face stared back at her.
What was she going to tell Johnny?
A knock on the door startled her, bringing her back to reality.
"It's time to go home." She heard her mom say.
She got up and threw the stick in the trash.
She opened the door and headed out to find Johnny.
She found him by his Cadillac, putting in the last of his luggage.
He looked up and smiled as she came up to him.
She reached for him and he held her close.
"I'm sure gonna miss you." He whispered into her hair.
"Me too." She replied with tears falling down her cheeks.
Johnny lifted her face and wiped them away.
"It's going to be ok. We won't be apart."
She shook her head. "I hope not for long."
She took a breath before continuing.
"Johnny. I got something to tell you." She pulled away from him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I'm pregnant." She replied and looked at the ground.
He pulled her back to him and held her.
"It's gonna be ok, Baby. We'll be fine."
She looked at him. "How? We are not even ready. How"- he cut her off. "We will get through this."
She leaned into him.
"I hope so."
