Hello everyone! Good morning/afternoon/evening or whenever you're reading this! It's 10:00 pm where I am and instead of posting this, I should be doing some final reading for one of my classes, but you know what? This is more fun :P

Okay, enjoy this chapter! I think it's a cute one!

Tori's POV

I looked over at Caleb and said, with a smile, "Where are we going?"

He smirked and said, "Wouldn't you like to know,"

"Evil," I said and gently smacked his shoulder.

"Ow," he said as if he was hurt. "Abusive,"

"Aw, I'm sorry," I said and leaned over and kissed his shoulder. "There. All better,"

"Thanks, babe," he said and leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"Hey, keep your eyes on the road!" I exclaimed. "If you wanna kiss me, you should stop on the side of the road."

"Hmm," he said, thinking about that. "Well, if you insist," Off the side of the road, there was a place where you could stop. It wasn't a rest stop, but it was a vacant space on the side of the highway. There were also hundreds of flowers all on the ground. It looked so beautiful.

Caleb pulled up next to it and stopped the car. Then we both got out. I ran around to him and jumped in his arms; he spun me around a couple of times. When he set me down, he pulled me back in for a kiss. It was a really passionate, loving kiss. I adored this man so much. Actually, I could now call him my husband. We had practically eloped a few days before this and now we were on the road. You could say we were on our honeymoon going…I don't know where. Caleb still hadn't told me, but I do know what we'd been driving for a long time now.

Afterwards, Caleb reached down and picked a yellow wildflower out of the ground and then he stood up and said, "Take your clip out and hand it to me."

I giggled. "Okay," I pulled my bobby pin out that was holding my hair out of my face.

I handed him the bobby pin and he smiled and said, "Thank you, ma'am," He put the flower on my hair and clipped it in with the bobby pin. "There," he said, looking at my hair. "Beautiful,"

Picked a wildflower off the side of the road

You put it in my hair

Once Caleb and I got back in the car and we were driving again, I took my flip-flops off and put my feet up on the dashboard to get more comfortable. I asked Caleb to put the top down on the car and he did. When it was down, I took my flower out of my hair, laid it in the console, put my sunglasses on, raised my hands in the air, and looked up as the wind blew my hair all around. I didn't want the flower to fly out of my hair.

Two bare feet up on the dashboard

Hands waving through the summer air

Caleb looked at me and giggled. "Having fun?"

"Oh yeah," I said and looked at him. "This is perfect."

He quickly looked at me again before looking back at the road. "Absolutely perfect,"

Looking at you, looking at me

With the wind strapped to our backs

Flying as high as a bird in the sky

Don't get much better than that

"Would you like to tell me where we're going?" I asked after a few moments and put my sunglasses on my head. "After all, it is my honeymoon, too."

"Fine, I guess I'll have to tell you." he said with a sigh. "Have you ever been to Tupelo?"

"What the heck is that?" I asked.

"I guess not," he said, kind of to himself. Then he said, "It's this great city in Mississippi. I know it doesn't sound like much, but my parents took Jenna and me there when we were younger and we loved it. There are so many fun things to do there."

"Have you guys lived in New York your whole life?"

"No, we lived in Oklahoma until I was thirteen and that's when we moved to New York because of my dad's job." he explained. "Why?"

"Well…Mississippi isn't exactly close to New York or Oklahoma." I pointed out. "Why would you guys go there if it wasn't close to where you lived?"

"We were doing exactly this." he said and grabbed my hand. He took a second to smile at me and then he looked back at the road. "My parents are the kind of people who love to just get in the car and drive for days on end sometimes. I don't know why; Jenna and I have never understood it. Anyway, one time we were doing this as a family, and we came across Tupelo. And I told myself that, one day, I would take my new wife there for our honeymoon."

"Aww," I said and leaned over and kissed his cheek. I turned the radio on to a good station and put my sunglasses back on and then looked up at the sky, letting the sun hit my face. "Then I can't wait to get to Tupelo."

And we sang all the way down to Tupelo

Love struck right on the money

Heart beats are beating to the radio

Kisses sweet as the honey

Down in Tupelo

All the way to Tupelo

It was taking us forever to just get to Mississippi. I got so antsy that I would count the while lines mile by mile by mile. After counting about four miles, I realized that I wasn't antsy anymore. It was actually a really soothing feeling. It released me from the stresses of daily life. I loved being on the road with my new husband in the summer.

Counting the white lines mile by mile

Worries slipping away

When we were just about to get to Mississippi, Caleb took a back road that he claimed would be a short cut and in the end, I think it really was. We ended up driving past a really gorgeous river. I smiled and then said, "Hey, can we stop?"

"Sure, what for?"

"My legs are getting stiff." I told him. "I need to stretch them out."

"Alright," he said and we pulled off the side of the road and got out. I walked up to the river and bent down. I could faintly see all the little fishes swimming in it, but the thing that was the coolest that I noticed were frogs hopping around.

"Caleb, come here!" I exclaimed and ran over to him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up to the side of the river. "Look down there!"

"What am I looking at?" he asked.

"Frogs, see!" I exclaimed. "They're so cute!" Just as I said this, one of the frogs hopped out of the water and almost on to me, which caused me to jump away and practically scream bloody murder. "Eww, Caleb!" I screamed when I was ten feet away from the water. "Why would you let that frog do that?" He laughed at me. "What's so funny? That frog was attacking me!"

"You're just too cute." he said as we walked over to me. He grabbed my face and kissed me. "Don't worry, babe. If a frog ever attacks you again, I will save you."

"Thank you," I told him.

After walking around and stretching our legs a little more, we got back in the car and continued our drive down to Tupelo. We would occasionally glance at each other and smile and then look away. After we'd been silent for awhile, Caleb said, "Wow, you look so beautiful."

I looked at him and smiled. "Aww, thanks,"

"I swear, I fall in love with you more and more every minute."

I could feel a little tingle in my stomach as I said, "You're not the only one,"

Took a back road for a little slowdown

Off of the interstate

We followed the river as far as it goes

Smiling in the July sun

Hearing you say you're falling in love

I said, you ain't the only one

We finally got to our destination about five hours later. We checked into a nice little hotel and got settled into our room. Caleb said he wanted to take a shower, so he went ahead and did that. While he was doing that, I grabbed a pen and paper from the nightstand and wrote down the words that had been in my head ever since we started driving.

"All the way down to Tupelo," I sang out loud.

It was a couple months later, in September, that I was pacing back and forth in the bathroom of mine and Caleb's house. It was early in the morning and I had planned on doing this later in the day, but when the time came, I had to do it. I couldn't help myself.

After waiting for the appropriate amount of time, I walked up to the counter, nervous as heck, and looked down and picked up the little test in my hands. I smiled ear-to-ear to see the little plus sign on the pregnancy test.

"Tori!" I heard Caleb call out. I guess he had just woken up. "Hey Tori! Where are you?"

"I'll be right out!" I called out and walked out of the bathroom with the pregnancy test in my hand. I headed to the kitchen to find Caleb getting a cup of coffee. I sighed, put the test behind my back, and said, "Hey,"

He looked at me and smiled. "Good morning, beautiful." He walked over to me and gave me a light kiss. "What were you doing?"

"Just…taking care of some stuff," I said and smiled. "So…Caleb?"

"So…Tori?"

I giggled. Caleb was the kind of guy that if you said something that had an open-ended response, he would repeat it at you. It always made me laugh. "Guess what?"

"What?"

I pulled the test from behind my back and showed it to Caleb. "I'm pregnant."

He looked at the test closely and then his eyes widened. Then he grabbed it. "You mean…you're pregnant?"

"Yeah," I said with a smile. "We're gonna have a baby."

"So…" He put the test down behind me and then got on his knees. He put his hands on my stomach and while looking at my stomach, he said, "You mean…there's a baby right in here?"

I laughed. "A really little baby, but yeah. There is a real live baby in there." He was acting like he'd never seen someone pregnant. He was probably just in shock, which was understandable.

"Wow," he said and then stood up. "That's a true miracle."

"It really is," I said and we hugged tightly. "It's kind of like magic."
