Josh rushed passed Riley, and went into the bathroom that had Maya just gotten into. Josh locked the door behind him and saw Maya standing near the sick looking like she was about to throw up. Josh then said, "Maya, you okay?" Maya looking upset said, "Yeah." Josh then stood right near Maya and said, "Well I'm guessing feel a bit sick is normal. By the way. Your doctor called saying the tests came back and that you and the baby were completely healthy." Maya froze, but then looked at Josh as she said, "Josh I... I'm so sorry I didn't tell you I was pregnant. I was just worried you would get mad since we're not married and..." Then Josh suddenly embraced Maya in his arms as he said, "Maya... you could have told me as soon as you knew. No matter what, I will always love you."
The two then remained embraced for a moment. Then Josh looked into Maya's eyes and said, "How long?" Then Maya said, "I've known for a week. But the doctor says I'm about four weeks in." Josh then said, "Why didn't you tell me? Did you think I was going to get angry and leave you?" I sighed and said, "Josh, I'm sorry. It's just... I've been an emotional mess. I've had feelings for you for years, but I've also had feelings for... others and... I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. Plus since my dad left me not long after I was born, I was worried that..." Josh then cut Maya off and said, "Maya... did you really think I would leave you because of this?" Maya then said, "Sorry, it's just... I've never been happy in romance. And when I realized you liked me the way I liked you, I feared that maybe there's a chance we're just another glitch in the universe, and maybe we're..." Josh then cut Maya off and said, "Maya. What we have isn't a glitch. It's real. And I will do everything in my power to make sure the universe never tears us apart. Because I want you more than anything Maya. I... I want to marry you." With a shocked face Maya said, "Josh. Are you serious?" Josh nodded and said, "I am. I was only postponning asking you because you didn't seem ready but... no more waiting. Maya... will you marry me?" Tears appeared in Maya's eyes as she said, "Yes Josh. Of course I will marry you!" Maya then immediately jumped into Josh's arms and kissed him.
Several months later Maya went into labor. Josh was by her side, as Maya gave birth to a young little girl with dark hair. As soon as Maya got the chance to hold her little baby in her arms a look of complete happiness went across her face. Then as Josh sat next to Maya he said, "So we still don't have a name yet. You have one in mind?" Maya smiled and nodded as she said, "I do. And you really are okay with accepting any name I come up with?" Josh nodded as he said, "Yes. Completely." Maya then looked at her baby as she said, "Then I'm gonna name her after one of the most important lessons I've learned in life. We shall call her Hope. Welcome to the world Hope Hunter Matthews." Then Josh leaned over and kiss Maya, as the two began their new life together; a life full of love that would never be broken for the rest of their lives.
