A.N. Hope you all enjoy the chapter, two replies to two reviews I wanted to answer.
Pitaqueen- this story isn't anywhere near done. I plan to have a lot of conflicts come their way, but I'm not saying more.
Crazy4nc128- in this chapter I hope to answer your question as to who Adam's roommate is.

The week went by in a daze for the ducks. Adam couldn't stop thinking about Aurora and Aurora the same about Adam. They felt strong and confident about their relationship, and slowly were showing it to the school. Some girls were jealous of Aurora, some felt her as a threat to their boyfriends, and some admired her.
No one knew of Aurora's dark past, not even Adam. The whole while they had written letters she contemplated on telling him. Now, she felt no reason to. It was over and done with.
"Hey sweetie." Adam said catching up to Aurora in the hall. "What do you want to do this weekend?" He kissed her cheek, practically demanding the awes from the girls around them.
"Hang out, see a movie. I don't feel like being active this weekend. Just happy our game isn't till Monday." She said pushing the doors in front of her open.
"Why don't we see if we can get the others to come to a movie with us?" Adam said.
"Alright. Sounds like it'll be some fun." Adam noticed her down and out mood.
"You okay?" He pulled her over to a bench that was on the side of the walkway. They sat down and Adam turned to look at her. "Hey, hey, hey. Don't cry. Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be alright." Adam said, comfortingly. He lifted her chin up and turned her face to the side, using his other hand, he wiped away her tears.
"It's not going to be alright, Adam." She said, her voice cracking on almost her every word.
"What is it then?" He gulped.
"I'm late…" she whispered, but he still heard.
His face went pale as he thought about what that meant. He quickly regained his composure. "Um, why don't we go to the store then. We'll get a pregnancy test and so we can be sure." He stood, pulling her hands so she would get up.
"You mean you're not angry?" She asked hopefully, looking up into his eyes.
"Of course not. It's more my fault than yours."
"I wish all men were as understanding as you, Adam." They heard a voice behind them. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what I heard." Julie replied.
"Thanks, girl." Aurora hugged her.
"Just take care of yourself. We might have a little duck on the way." Julie laughed. Aurora joined. It was one if the times that week her spirits felt high. What with Adam saying what he did and Julie accepting, she felt like she was on the top of the world.
"Come on, let's go to the store now." Adam pulled her away from Julie and into his arms. He hugged her for a moment, then dropped his hands to hers and together they walked off.

"Pregnancy test, pregnancy test." Aurora mumbled to herself while looking at everything in the isle they were standing in. "Ok, got it. We can go now." Aurora felt uncomfortable with all the stares from the women and men standing in the isle. She felt the pressure of what wasn't right.
They walked to the counter, hands still together. Aurora slowly lifted her hand with the box in it up to the counter. She placed it down. "That'll be $6.50 (I don't know the price of pregnancy tests.)." The man behind the counter said.
Adam reached for his wallet and pulled out a ten. They waited patiently for the change when the man opened the register. "Come again." They walked quickly out of the store and to Adam's car.
"Do you mind if I said I felt a little embarrassed in there?" Aurora asked letting the breath of warm air leave her chest.
"Not at all, I did, too." He started the car and drove back to the school in silence.

They soon arrived back at the dorms; contemplating in their minds whose room they should go to. "Mine. Charlie's usually out around now." Adam suggested, they did not need any more run-ins with ducks.
"Alright." Aurora's voice shook.
"Hey, it's alright. You scared?" He asked her. They still sat in his car. She nodded. "There's no reason to be scared, kay, sweetie? I am, too. But just think for a moment. This might be the best thing to happen to us, and the fact that it's now, shouldn't change anything." Adam rationed.
"Yeah, you're right." Aurora whispered. "I just… I don't know what I want, you know? I'm not sure if I don't want to be pregnant. I know I love you, and if I am, we're going to have a baby. And if not, well, then we saved ourselves and you're family a lot of money and sleep." Aurora joked.
"That's right. Just think of the brighter stuff that would come out of this. Come on. We don't want Charlie to come in during this." Adam opened his door and quickly ran around to the other side before Aurora could open the door. "Me lady." He said reaching out for her hand. She took his and let him pull her out of the car. "Got the bag?" He asked.
"Yeah." They walked hand in hand to Adam's dorm room.
Adam took the key from his pocket and unlocked the door. "Anyone home?" He called opening the door slightly.
"Yeah." Charlie called back. "But I'm leaving soon. I have a date tonight."
"Oh, the first after Linda." Aurora said pushing Adam into the room. Adam gave her a look as to say 'why are we staying, he's still here.' She gave him a look that said 'wait. He's leaving now.'
"Hey, Aurora." Charlie said sitting on his bed and putting his shoes on. "You two have fun tonight." He called over his shoulder after grabbing his jacket, keys, and walking out the door.
"Okay. Give me the bag." Aurora said in a rush turning to Adam. He handed her the bag and watched her walk to his bathroom. He sat on his bed and waited for Aurora to come out of the bathroom.
Three minutes later she walked out and to where he sat, he timed it. "The directions said to wait for four minutes. I've up to fifty seconds." She explained sitting next to him on the bed. "Hold me." She leaned into him.
He wrapped his arms around her and for the next three minutes and ten seconds they sat in silence. "Time's up." He whispered. "You ready to check?" He asked her. She shook her head against his chest.
"Come in with me?" Her voice sounded strangled.
"Yeah." They stood and walked to the bathroom door; which she had shut on her way out. Adam pushed the door open and they walked in with they're hands clasped. "Do you want to look or should I?" Adam asked.
"I will." She said starting to pear over it, but turning quickly with her hands at her eyes. "I can't. You, please…" She said sounding somewhat desperate.
"Baby." He said quietly, a smile appearing on his face.
"What?" She asked.
"That's just it. A baby."
