Chapter 3
JJ: (utterly shocked) What? How?
Beth chuckles through her tears
Beth: I think you know how JJ
JJ: That's not what I meant!
Beth: Obviously Hawaii was a long time ago for you
JJ: Oh my gosh that was only...(tries to count in his head)
Beth: almost 7 months ago.
JJ hugs Beth, and she rests her head on his shoulder.
JJ whispers: Its ok Beth, I'm here for you now and kisses her forehead.
Back in the living room, everyone is wondering why JJ is taking so long. Meg speaks up.
Meg: I think Beth's upstairs.
Helen: Oh! I didn't even see her!
Everyone gets up and runs upstairs. They see Beth and JJ sitting on her bed, quietly talking. Beth sees them all standing worried in the doorway.
Beth: Its OK, he knows.
Helen rushes into the room and gives her oldest son a hug.
Jack: How'd he take the news Beth?
Beth: Good, he took it good. quite embarrassed)
Will goes over and sits on Beth's lap (the 2 have become close) He pats her stomach and says
Will: Is it a boy or a girl?
JJ looks up, interested.
Beth: I don't know. I said I wanted to be surprised.
Meg groans in disappointment.
Meg: Oooohh. I wanted to know if I'm going to have a niece or nephew to spoil.
Beth: You'll find out soon enough.
JJ has been quiet this whole time.
JJ POV
I can't believe Beth's pregnant. I was planning on telling her that I loved her and wanted to marry her, but now will she think that I am just accepting responsibility for this? I know my parents will want me to marry her, and I want to, more than anything. But what will Beth think?
