I sighed and thanked Jessie as he passed me a steaming cup of cocoa and sat down in the chair opposite me,

'So Rach, I mean not to pry or anything but what the hell happened? I mean when we were together you were so…well no offence but you were kind of frigid...'

I sighed again, 'It wasn't exactly planned'

'So ermm, what does Finn think of being a dad?' Jessie said and I'm sure I heard a little annoyance in his voice at mentioning Finn. He set his cup down on the table in front of us both and sat back. I looked at him, and I mean really looked at him, he hadn't changed one bit, not really he was always going to be that annoying self-obsessed fame craving little boy, but he was also the same person that did care for me even when it was only supposed to be a ruse. I crossed my legs on the couch and rested my cup on them

'It's not Finn's' I whispered.

'What?, no way you got it on with someone else, go on Rach haha'

No!, I would never cheat on Finn,…I I got slipped something at a party, woke up the next day and I couldn't remember anything, I started to feel weird after a while so I took a test and tada' I pointed to my waist while he just looked at me in shock. It was getting easier to talk about it now, I guess I realised that I couldn't change anything and that I could be getting something decent out of it so I just decided to focus on the good aspects of the situation

'I'm so sorry Rachel, I had no idea i…' A wave of anger seemed to take over his features 'who the hell did this to you?'

'What does it matter to you Jessie I mean I don't speak to you for months and then you break into my house and…Why are you here anyway' I asked in confusion. The anger seemed to disappear from his face and it was replaced with, embarrassment?

'I, I drive past your house every few days and well I noticed your dad's hadn't been around and your lights had been on at strange times and well I got a little worried about you, I just wanted to check if you were ok, I mean I still…care about you Rach. You're the only person who ever understood me and I miss you being around'

I sat there in awe; this was the guy who threw eggs at me, eggs! And now he was here telling me he missed me and I was the only person that understood him. What was that about? Part of me was considering throwing my drink over him and telling him to get the hell out of my house, but the other part wanted him to stick around, at least till Finn or one of the girls came round tomorrow.

'Jessie, in a strange way part of me is quite happy you're here, but I'm really tired, can we talk more in the morning?'

'Sure yeah…yeah, sorry for waking you up and you know making you think someone was breaking into your house and stuff' he chuckled. I got up and went to clear the pots

'Hey what do you think you're doing? You get your butt up to bed I'm not gonna let you clean in your condition'

'I'm pregnant not incapable ' I protested as I picked up my mug and stood up but snatched it out of my hand , gave me one of those' try me' looks and pointed to the stairs , so muttering under my breath about being overbearing I reluctantly climbed up

'Oh, Jessie?' I said turning around, slightly shy. 'Would you stay tonight?'

'Well I'm not going to leave you all alone am I 'I said smiling

'Thanks, there's a blanket and pillow in the cupboard under the stairs…night Jessie'

As I got into my room, I turned and closed my door. With my hand still on the doorknob I paused and then went and walked over to my chest of draws. I dug around for a minute until I found what I was looking for, a pile of papers. I walked over to my bed and sat cross legged as I spread the papers in front of me. All the notes and love letters between me and Jessie. Maybe, just maybe Jessie deciding to come back at this moment wouldn't be the worst thing; he could be someone else to keep Jacob away from me at the least.

'Yeah, yeah it's all true, she's pregnant…It's not like we though ...Course I acted surprised when she told me, what do you take me for?...right, yeah am gonna stick around, make her trust me again. I'll be her best friend and then, well then it will be easy. Jessie hung up the phone and walked over to the made up sofa and climbed under the blanket.
