A few hours later, he heard her say his name. He answered her, but quickly realized she was still asleep. "I need to tell you something." He could barely make out what she was murmuring, "We have a baby."
The next day, the Ben drove Sara's car back to Bellwood so that she could sleep on the way home. He didn't tell her what he heard he say last night. Surprisingly, having a baby with her didn't scare him. He was pretty convinced before he heard the baby thing that she was the one he wanted to be with. What scared him was the fact that she was saying it to him like he didn't know. Was he going to be gone so long that he missed her being pregnant? Maybe it's a blessing she can't remember. I heard two sentences and it's driving me crazy.
They went by his parents' house to pick up the keys to his house and ended up eating brunch there. His mom went with them to look at the house. Sara loved it. Ben told her she could do whatever she wanted to the house to fix it up before she moved in.
Ben, Sara, and Sandra were chatting about what needed to be fixed in the house when Gwen and Kevin raced up.
"Ben! We've been trying to call you!" Gwen screamed at him for the passenger seat.
"Huh?" Ben looked at his phone and saw 8 missed calls. "Sorry, somehow my phone got on silent."
"Vilgax is headed towards Earth with an army of drones."
"What!? There's no way. He hasn't been around for years!"
"We gotta go...NOW!" Kevin yelled.
Ben went over to his mom and kissed her on the cheek. He ran to Sara, hugged her, and kissed her passionately.
"Be safe, Ben," she told him. "Take care of my best friend."
"I will. I'll call you, ok?"
"Ok. Bye," she said as she kissed him again.
