Just you all know, I've had summer school for the last two weeks and that's why it was so hard for me to update and why I'm going crazy with updates now. I still have Monday to Friday this week, but that's it and I'll be back to writing. God I've missed this! Just wanted you to know so you don't freak out like why is she updating so much now but not later? So yeah.
Fiona woke up and for a second didn't know where she was. Her arms was draped over something big and furry, it was breathing really fast. Fiona wiped her eyes with her other hand and looked over at a black and white sheep dog. His looked up at her panting happily. Fiona smiled and scratched the dog's side. Its tail waged fast on the bed sheets and rolled on its back. Fiona laughed while rubbing his belly.
After a few more minutes in bed with the dog Fiona got up and walked down stairs. She heard some voices coming from that one room she couldn't see into. Fiona walked down the stair case to her right and made a U-turn around the handle and walked straight into the room.
Adam and guy were in there flattening out dough. She looked around to the other sides and saw there was a door on the right that led into another kitchen, and on the right was an average sized living room. She turned back to the two talking and laughing. The other guy seemed to have an Italian ascent when he laughed. She smiled at them before walking in and making her presence known.
"Hey Fiona, how'd you sleep?" Adam asked smiling and moving a chair out for her to sit on.
"I've never slept better that bed is amazing."
"Well, of course Adam's room is going to be the best!" the Italian man said loud and excitedly.
"That's your room?" Fiona asked, shocked.
"Um, yeah, I was going to tell you, but you seemed tired."
"Oh, I thought it was the guest room, and that's why I was in there."
"Throughout the years my family has had this place; they've tarred down all the guest rooms."
"Oh." Fiona nodded. "What are you two making?" Fiona asked.
"We're going to make some pie."
"What kind?"
"We haven't really decided on that." Adam said, looking up at the man.
"How about you decide." He pointed to Fiona.
"Oh, um I like cherry."
"We're planning on making two so what else?"
"Cherry." Fiona smiled.
"Alright you like cherry pie." Adam laughed and went back to his dough. "Oh, and Fiona this is Pal." Adam said.
"Pal?"
"That's what my friends call me."
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you Pal." Fiona smiled and leaned to shake his hand, but he took it and pulled in for a hug over the counter.
"Nice to meet you too, Fiona."
Fiona smiled and looked around at everything. This place seems more updated and new than when you first walk in. Adam's room was probably the most high tec. Fiona looked back down at the boys hard at work. She was really energetic after a peaceful sleep and wanted to do something.
"Adam is there anything to do around here?" she asked, standing up.
"Well, um not anything that I can think of."
"Adam, what about all the swimming, and tennis, and sporting areas we have here?" Pal asked.
"That sounds fun. Where can I do that?" Fiona asked, while Adam gave Pal a dirty look.
"You shouldn't do any of that." Adam said, pulling her back to her seat.
"Why not?"
"Because you're pregnant and it could hurt the baby if you work too hard or get hit with a ball."
"Adam, I'm not made out of glass!"
"But our baby is." Adam looked down at her stomach.
"This sucks." Fiona turned and pouted.
"Fiona, just take it easy for now."
"So, that when I'm huge I can't do anything! I want to do stuff before I'm not tired and sore to."
"Adam, just take her out for a ride."
"I don't want to ride on a car." Fiona whined.
"Not a car, come on." Adam took her hand and led her outside.
In the back yard that was a hot tub and large rectangular swimming pool. A little up a head were multiple trampolines and farther away was a hole filled with railing and ramps, stuff that skateboarders liked. Finally they reached a part where the land slanted. Down a few yards were at least five horses in a fenced in pen. Fiona gasped as Adam helped her walk down the stone stairs. She wasn't even that far along, but he acted like her water was ready to break.
Once they reached the pen Adam used his hand to make a small circle and whistled through it a tune. Fiona noticed only one horse looked up from the grass and approached them slowly. Adam grabbed it by its rein and brought it closer.
"This is Survivor."
"Survivor?"
"Yep, a long time ago he was a race horse. In the first race my uncle's horse had ever one this guy and another horse were neck and neck with him. He tripped and took the other horse with him, that's why our horse won. The one horse was okay, but Survivor here was going to be shot because of his injury. My uncle used the money he had won to by Survivor and pay for the medical treatments."
"Can he run?"
"Not yet."
"Yet?"
"People say he'll never be able to, but I think he can. He's got the running spirit." As Adam finished Survivor nahed loudly and kicked up some dirt.
"So, I'm guessing because he can't run he's mine?"
"Yep, and he's a cool horse. He doesn't have any fears and he's smart so I trust him with you."

The two were walking down one of the trails on Adam's land while on horseback. Adam had gotten another horse named Twister, because of how he likes to twist around when he's happy. Adam had hooked up a rope to Fiona's horse so that he could control it since Fiona didn't know how to ride and Adam wasn't even that happy about her riding in the first place.
"If you don't like me riding then why did you bring me out here?" Fiona asked.
"Because this is the only thing that you can do so you won't over work yourself."
"I wouldn't do that. I'm not obsessed with being athletic."
"Still, I just want you two to be safe."
"This is hurting my butt. Can we sitting somewhere for a second?"
"Sure, I know this great place." Adam smiled and they pressed forward.
It was about another five minutes ride before they reached a small pond, with water running down the bumpy stones. Some stones stuck out and caused water to drip down into the water, making sounds like bubbles popping.
Adam got off and then helped Fiona down. He walked to the edge of the pond and took his shoes and socks off as did Fiona. They both sat down and placed their feet in the cool water. Fiona sighed and rested back on her hands, looking up at the sky.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Adam looking at her stomach. She sat up straight and smiled at him.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing, I was just…. Um can I….?" Adam stuttered as his hand moved closer to her belly.
Fiona smiled at his concern and took his hand to place it on her belly. Adam smiled and rubbed softly. She sighed at the feeling and leaned back on her hands, while Adam touched her pregnant belly.
"This place is just too beautiful to be true."
"I thought that a lot as a kid." Adam smiled, pulling his hand back.
"You spent a lot of time with your uncle didn't you?"
"He was literally my best friend." Adam sighed and put his head down.
"What do you mean?"
"When I was young my parents didn't give a crap about me, they still don't. They never sent me to a school, saying that I'd just be a burden to others like I was to them, so I never made friends. That's why I still have no friends to this day. Especially when Uncle died, I've got no one."
"I feel the same. That's why I went out that one night and had sex with you. I wanted to feel loved and not alone."
"That's why I did it too."
"Adam I can't be a mom." Fiona blurted out after a few moments of silence.
"What?"
"I don't have a job, I don't how to take care of a baby, and I can't go through nine months of carrying this baby and then have to give him away to random strangers."
"So, what are you planning on doing?" Adam asked, hoping what he thought wasn't true.
"I think abortion is the only way."
More about Adam's childhood in next chap. Hint: he's childhood sucked! Will Fiona keep the baby?
