All Because

Chapter 12

"Brady… I'm pregnant."

Brady didn't know what to say or how to react. The first thing he did was stand up and back away a foot. Then running a hand through his black hair, he looked down at the soulful beauty with his bright blue, now confused, eyes.

"When did you find out?" Brady asked calmly.

"About four days ago," Maddie let her teary blue Bolton eyes lift up to her lover.

"I suppose the first thing we should do is set up a doctors appointment," Brady said as he started to pace back and forth, "Then pick out names and-"

Maddie looked up at him in confusion, "You're not mad?"

"Mad? At you? It takes two to make a baby, I'm in this as much as you," Brady gave her a small smile.

"I was so worried, I didn't know how you'd react," Maddie sighed in relief.

"Maddie, I love you and I mean it. We're together in this," Brady made sure she knew this.

"We're only seventeen Brady. What are we going to do?" Maddie asked as he knelt next to her.

"We'll figure it out Mads," Brady tried to assure her.

"I'm keeping the baby Brady," Maddie said boldly to him.

Brady looked down at her for a moment and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Good," Maddie said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Will you marry me?" Brady asked nervously all of the sudden.

"Brady I don't want to marry you because I am pregnant," Maddie said sadly.

"No, marry me because I love you and I want to be with you and our little one forever. I know it's only been three months but it's been the best three months of my life because of you," Brady said sweetly.

Maddie looked into his eyes and smiled.

"We'll be ok?" Maddie asked.

"Yea we will," Brady smiled back and hugged his fiancé tightly.

"We still have to tell my dad as soon as they're back," Maddie sighed.

"I just hope he doesn't hate me. He always talked to me about waiting until marriage," Brady worried.

"Marriage you say?" Maddie asked, thinking hard.

"Yea," Brady said absentmindedly.

"Then let's go get married," Maddie said excitedly.

"Maddie you know your parents would want to be there," Brady said.

"Yea… You're right," She slumped back down.
