Danny sat on his bed in his room at the base. He was writing in his journal as Red read a book on his bed and Goose sat there looking around the room. It was silent; "do you think leaving Evelyn was the right thing to do?" Danny asked, breaking the silence, "I mean I've been thinking about her a lot lately."

Red looked up from his book, "I don't know, I mean if you really wanted to be with here you would've done so like two months ago."

Danny began to look around, "I don't know," he said refraining from any eye contact. "Maybe I should call her." He went over to the phone and struggled to pick it up. He finally did and began to dial.

"Hello?" he heard Barbara say as she picked up the phone. "Hello? Who is this?"

"Oh, um, hi it's Danny. Is, uh, Evelyn there?"

"No, she's gone out."

"Oh, well, ok," Danny began to feel stupid. "Well I guess bye."

He gently set the phone down and walked back to his bed.

"So," Red began, "What did she say?"

"I don't know she's 'out" Danny said with a jealous look and a mean sound to his voice. He looked out the window to see that it was almost dark. He imagined who she could be 'out' with and why. He looked at Rafe's empty bed forgetting where he had gone. He could almost feel a bullet go through his heart and that bullet was from Rafe. Every thing was changing and Danny began to feel as if he were on the out side of everything. He hadn't any thing to prove that Rafe was with Evelyn, he just had a strong feeling in that went through his bones.

"We should go," Rafe said as he began to get up from the rocks. He helped Evelyn up and they walked across the sand. He had his arm around her shoulder and she rested her head on his arms and they made it to the car.

Rafe helped Evelyn out of the car and walked with her up the path. The door opened before they made it up to the porch.

"Where have you been?" Barbara screamed as she looked out the open door. "You had a lot of fun I see," as she looked at Rafe. He had smeared lipstick all over his face, which was not noticeable until they were in proper lighting.

"Um, I guess," Rafe laughed out as he tried to wipe his mouth clean. They both stood there embarrassed and slowly walked inside and took her to her room for a private good bye.

"So, I guess we'll be seeing each other real soon, huh?" He said softly. Their fore heads were touching and they were both smiling.

"Yeah, real soon," she said as she put her arms around his waist. She had not been this happy for a long time, not since she had first fallen in love with Rafe. He softly kissed her on the forehead and started out the door.

"Where have you been?" Danny asked as Rafe walked in the door. Rafe had a large grin on his face.

He was humming a happy tune as he walked in. He looked towards Danny and replied, "Out."

"What are the odds that Rafe and Evelyn were both out on the same night!" Goose said as he nodded like some smarty-pants.

"That's nice Goose," Red said nodding back at him with a funny look on his face.

"Well I was with Evelyn when we went 'out," Rafe said as he lay down in his bed and began to whistle.

"Come on Goose," Red said getting up knowing that Danny and Rafe needed to talk alone. "We need to buy some more tooth paste."

"But we got plenty of toothpaste!" Goose said as Red dragged him out the door.

"Why were you 'out'?" Danny asked Rafe as if he committed a crime.

"Because we were!" Rafe said as he sat up in his bed. "Why do you care?" He was obviously getting annoyed.

"I don't know, Rafe," Danny began, "I guess I'm kind of jealous. I mean all you probably did was go talk and see each other from after two months. Nothing happened, right?" Danny asked looking over at him innocently.

Rafe began to look around, "Danny, well, we're kinda seeing each other now."

Danny's eyes grew wide. "How could you! I love her!"

"No, Danny you left her, and you had two months to get her back but you didn't"

"You know Rafe why do you always have to be the hero?" Danny began. "Why do you always get the girl? I thought I had got her this time but you just had to take her away."

"Danny that's bull shit and you know it!" Danny sat there mad. He was mad because Rafe was right. He had got the girl but took her away and even though he loved her, he didn't take her back when he had the chance. But Danny couldn't admit it.

The phone rang and Rafe walked calmly to the phone. "Hello?"

"Rafe is that you?" He heard Sandra scream into the phone, "it's Evelyn! She's having the baby!

"Oh my God!" Rafe said softly as if he had seen a ghost. "We'll be right there!"

"What's wrong?" Danny asked.

"C'mon Evelyn's having the baby let's go!"

At that second the two were best friends again. It was almost like nothing had happened. "Let's go Danny, it's time for you to become a daddy!"

"Oh my God!" Danny said to himself in shock for the first time. "I can't believe it anymore!" Rafe put his arm around Danny's shoulder. "I don't think I can do it Rafe."

"Do what?" Rafe asked hurrying Danny out the door.

"I can't be the best father in the world. I want to give this baby everything I have but I don't think it's enough."

"Danny, don't be nervous. All your baby needs is love, and you've got so much love in you, well what I'm trying to say is your baby is lucky to have you as its father."

"Thanks man."

They both got into the car and drove away.
