How is she supposed to say this?
They're so young, and he got his acceptance letter to Stanford yesterday. He'll be torn, won't he? (She knows he's the boy who has a future but would give it up for this)
She blurts it out after his joke about Sam's nose, or something (she's not really listening), and his eyes go wide, and he grips her hands even tighter.
But then he kisses her, and his hand slips over her flat (for now) stomach.
"Ours. Our baby," he chokes. "A baby."
And she nods and cries and smiles, and they were always ready for anything, weren't they?
