15. Rollercoaster

"So how is the new relationship?" Andrea asked while Rick was getting us some drinks. We were hanging out at a local bar celebrating her last night as free woman.

"It's a rollercoaster ride sometimes. Daryl is still jealous of Philip, and he had a difficult life. His childhood has left him with abandonment issues. Still we love each so much. The night he proposed we just had a fight. I played for on the piano and he calmed down. Then he just asked me. I know it sounds crazy, but I have never been happier."

"I can see it. You were never this happy with Philip. I don't know why you were with him so long," Andrea smiled.

"I wanted a family. And I love Penny. Still Daryl has showed me what is missing in my life. I can't wait to have his babies," I said. At the moment Rick returns with our beers.

Andrea takes the beer and starts to take a long sip. I look over at mine.

Suddenly I realize I haven't had a period in the last month. Could I be pregnant? Was it Daryl's if I was ? The likelihood of it being Philip's was not high. Not unless I had pregnant for a while without knowing it.

You're not I told myself. But still I was not drinking anything until I knew for sure.

"Beth are you all right?" Andrea asked seeing I hadn't drunk any of my beer.

"Yeah, I just think we should get rest. You don't want to sleep through you wedding," I smiled at Andrea.

"You're right," Andrea smile softly. We all walked together to the car. Andrea was going on and on about wedding plans. I tried to listen. However, I was thinking about how I needed to get a pregnancy test without anyone knowing. I needed to deal with this information myself before telling anyone else, I thought.

Rick drove Andrea's car back to the hotel. He carefully walked me upstairs were Daryl was waiting.

"I think I am going to drive Miss Andrea home. She had a few too many drinks," Rick said.

"You should do that," I smiled at Rick. If you had to have a bodyguard he was the one you want, I deicide. I locked the hotel door. Then I got in bed with Daryl.

"I have been waiting for you," he whispers as I crawl into bed.
