A turn of events
Chapter 1
Juno felt so content, and happy, she knew exactly why but she had been trying to block it out of her head. She had just got back from Mark and Vanessa's, and Mark had just told her he was going to leave Vanessa, and she was so mad at him but at the same time she was so happy. Juno scanned her room, wishing she wouldn't have ran out of Mark and Vanessa's house. 'God damnit, I forgot that CD.' She thought to herself, although she knew that's not why she wanted to go all the way back.
After speeding her way and avoiding (almost) getting in a lot of wrecks, she jumped out of her van and banged on the door.
"You. . . Banged?" Mark raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I forgot the CD you were going to give me." Juno said in a monotone voice.
Marked Loring grabbed the CD from across the room, "Look out!" he threw it like a Frisbee at Juno, expecting her to catch it.
"SHIT, Mark." Juno cried, as she saw the CD coming towards her. She hadn't realized it as she had been in a trance, staring at how adorably sexy Mark was. The CD hit her stomach and bounced off. "Well Phucket Thailand, Coulda been a free abortion right there."
Mark groaned at Juno's sense of humor, half amused. Juno knew something was wrong with Mark, and Mark knew Juno didn't only come over just to get the CD. "Juno, Listen, You didn't drive all this way just to get a CD. Really, What's up?"
"Oh, God, Mark, I just wanted to see you soooo friggin bad," Juno said sarcastically.
"Score one!" Mark joked unenthusiastically, ignoring Juno's sarcasm.
"So what is your problem?" Juno said, seeing the pained look in Mark's eyes.
"I told Vanessa."
"Mark, Are you serious?!" Juno screamed at him.
"Yeah, She left. She didn't say one word. She just left."
"Great. Now my baby is just going to have a mom. No dad. That's awesome. It'll be like, yeah kid, your dad fucking disappeared. Or maybe we can make up some really cool story and tell the kid his dad was some kinda hero."
Mark rolled his eyes, and walked to the couch, smiling to himself as Juno followed. He sat down and threw his arm over her shoulder. "It's going to be okay, a lot of kids grow up with dads and they're perfectly fine. . . I did. Or maybe it will have a dad."
"What the hell do you mean?' Juno snapped, not in her normal sense of humor; she was actually annoyed. 'God, why can't the damn baby eat the butterflies in my stomach instead of eating all my food!' Juno thought; she got nervous and got the butterflies in her stomach when Mark touched her.
"Maybe you could keep the kid."
"Excuse me? Are you crazy? Bleeker doesn't want a baby. We've already went over this."
"Maybe someone else wants to be it's father. . ." Mark said, pulling Juno close to him.
