Its a Damn Cold Night

Its pouring rain out and has been for the past week, you can hear it on the panes of window, beating faster and harder than ever. Jay is sitting by the window working on his psychology paper, Chase sees him sitting there and brings him a hot chocolate.

"Hi. Here you go." Handing Jay a hot steaming mug.

"Thanks."

"Come on, you've hardly spoken in a week, talk to me."

"Why would she just leave? I don't understand."

"Some things aren't meant to be understood, mate."

"I know, she just...I know her, she would never just leave, thats not her, something must have happened."

"I'm sorry, I just hate to see you like this, you know stress isn't good for the baby, what you feel, the baby also feels." Jay nods.

"Yeah, I have to keep in mind that its not just me anymore, I'm caring for two."

"You are."

"Rob, do you really think the baby's going to be born?"

"I hope so, its our baby, Cameron, me and you. Your the monkey's uncle, though."

"Yeah, I got that. I'm too young to be a father."

"Yes, you are, you know I would absolutely kill you right?"

"Oh, I would have a new zip code, if anything like that ever happened." Jay says laughing.

Suddenly everything goes dark, and Jay's screen goes black.

"You saved it right?"

"Yes, I already made that mistake once."

"I'm going to check the switchboard, go get some warm clothes on and some candles, I have a feeling its going to be a long cold night."

5 hours later, the electricity is still out; Cameron, Chase and Jay are all huddled near the fireplace. The rain is still pouring down as heavy as ever.

Jay then presses his hand against his stomach and than takes Cam by the hand, so she can feel the baby move.

"Here, feel this, Cam."

" Amazing isn't it?" She responds.

"Sure is, to be honest with you , I can't wait for this to be over."

"I think we can all agree on that one mate." Chase pipes in.

The rain finally stops, and the electricity comes back on, but Chase, Cam and Jay are all asleep on the floor. Later Jay wakes up, looks down at Cam and Chase sleeping on the floor,blows out all the candles and puts the fire out. He covers them with the blanket and then heads to bed. Four more months he thought to himself, will I make it?
