School started next week. Mollie and Nick had been back together for three weeks. Mollie tried to avoid Randy at all costs when she was at Nick's. She hated seeing the pain in his eyes when they would see each other. It was Saturday night. Mollie and Nick were at a Hampton Inn. They'd just slept together for the first time since getting back together. Nick could tell Mollie was distracted.

"What's wrong Mollie?" He asked.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"Did I do something?"

"No." "It's not you." "I just have something on my mind."

"What?"

"I don't want to ruin the moment." They kissed.

Mollie had Chrissy meet her in the parking lot of their local drugstore. Chrissy got in Mollie's car. Mollie looked scared.

"What's wrong?" Chrissy asked.

"I think I'm pregnant." She said terrified at the thought.

"Have you taken a test?"

"No." "That's why I had you come here." "To help me pick one out."

"Why do you think you are?"

"I'm late."

"How late?"

"Ten days." "Chrissy if I am, there's no way it's Nick's."

"It's…

"Yeah."

"Oh shit."

"Yeah." "After we buy the test I need you to go to a payphone and call him for me and tell him to come to my house." "I'd do it but there's a chance Nick might answer the phone."

"Ok." "I thought you and Randy only had sex once."

"We had sex three times at the farm Fourth of July party, without a condom."

"Mollie." She said disapprovingly.

"I know." "I know."

Flashback

There were about seventy people at the Fourth of July farm party. They were drinking and letting off fireworks. Randy led Mollie to the barn away from everyone. The barn was huge. Randy was standing behind her with his hands over her eyes.

"Just a few more steps." Randy said.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." A few more seconds passed. "Open."

When Mollie opened her eyes she saw a blanket laying in the hay. Two lit candles, a single red rose and champagne on ice.

"Randy, this is so sweet."

"I know this can't be a date." "I just wanted to be alone with you."

They were sitting on the blanket. Randy was pouring them each a glass of champagne.

"How did you get this?" She asked.

"I paid someone to buy it for me."

They ended up finishing the bottle. They were kissing, undressing each other, getting ready to have sex. Randy went to take a condom out of his wallet.

"Shit." He said.

"What?"

"I don't have any condoms."

"Damn, well I guess we can't."

"We can if I pull out when I need to."

"Ok."

End Of Flashback

Ten minutes after Mollie got home there was a knock at the door. She answered it. It was Randy. He went inside.

"Chrissy said you needed me." Randy said.

"Randy, I might be pregnant, with your baby."

"The night at the barn?"

"Yeah." "I bought a test." "Will you take it with me?" "I'm scared."

"Of course I will."

They were in the bathroom waiting on the results. She went to look. Randy stopped her.

"Mollie, if you are, you have nothing to worry about, I'll care take of both of you."

"I know you will." She checked it. "Yes, it's negative." They hugged. "Thank you for being here for me."

"I'll always be here for you."

The phone rang. Mollie went to answer it. She was gone for about a minute. Then she came back.

"You have leave." She said. "Nick's coming over."

"Ok." He left. Even though he knew it was better this way, Randy was a little disappointed Mollie wasn't pregnant.


There'll be a few time jumps in the next couple chapters.
