"What did you say Zoe?"
"Dan,Im Pregnant..With Your Baby"
They both just looked at each other in total amazement,and then Zoe just sat down and started Crying.
"Dan..I..I..Just don't know how this happened,I mean I'm on The Pill,and we used condoms...didn't we?"
"Yes Zoe,Of Course we did" Dan Slipped the ring back into his pocket,realizing Zoe had not even heard his proposal.
"Dan,What are we going to do,I mean I never excepted this to happen,I..I just dont know I mean I have kids already,well not my kids but I love them just the same,Dan please just hold me" Zoe started to cry even harder
Dan didn't know what to do,in a moment his whole life was turned upside down,I mean he knew he loved Zoe and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her,but he knew she didnt feel the same way,and now there having a Child together,and now he thought...If I Ask Her To Marry Me,She Won't Thinks Its Because I Love Her,But Because She's Pregnant.
"Well are you for certain,I mean did you go to a doctor?" "No,I just took a home test,I'll go to the doctor tomorrow"
Dan and Zoe ate dinner pretty much in silence,Dan tried to start some conversations but he could see Zoe didn't feel much like talking. When Zoe got home she ran upstairs and threw her face onto her pillow and just cried. She didn't know what to do, she had just turned down Marcos proposal about 4 weeks ago,and now she was pregnant ,her life was turning upside down before her eyes. It must have been about 3.00 in the morning before Zoe finally fell asleep
She was awoken to "Aunt Zoe,Come'on get up,we need to get to school" Hannah said.
"What Time Is It" "Aunt Zoe Its already 7" And with that Zoe shot up and ran into the shower and when she got out she threw on her clothes,did her make-up quickly,hollered for the kids and ran out the door.
After dropping the kids off,she picked up her cell phone and dialed her doctor "Hi Dr Stowe,Its me Zoe, I was wondering if you have any room in the morning to squeeze me it,It's pretty important,you do thats great, 11:00 Sure,No Problem ok see You then,Bye
As Zoe walked into the clinic she was greeted by Lana
"Morning Zoe,How are You?" "Umm Im Good,You?" "Same Old Same Old,You can go right in Danas waiting for you" "Thanks Lana"
"Hello Zoe,You dont look to good,sit down won't you,So what's up?"
"Um.I need you to,um do a..a..pregnancy test for me" "Oh Zoe, You and Marcos will make such a Cute Child,He.." Zoe cut her off, "It's Not Marcos..Its.." Dana could see Zoes eyes fill up with tears "Oh Zoe,what is it?" "Its...Dan"
"DAN?" Dana exclaimed. "Yes,I Was suppose to go out to dinner with Marcos one night and as I was leaving,me and Dan were in the elevator and he grabbed me and he gave me the longest most passionate kiss ever,and then that same night Marcos asked me to marry him,and I said no,and that same night I Went over to Dan's and we made love and Dana I don't know how this happened I mean we used condoms and Im on the Pill And I..I" More tears rolled down Zoe's Face. "Shh Shh,Its ok" Dana Said as she hugged Zoe, "Lets go get a test and make sure you really are"
It seemed like the longest 30 minutes of Zoes life,she continuely watched the clock head one minute at a time. "Zoe your test results are back" Zoe's heart raced,she knew this test would change her life completely. Dana looked at the test results, "Zoe,Im So Sorry,but we can get through this" "No...It can't be,Dana tell me this isnt happening,What did I ever do to deserve this?" "Sometimes Zoe bad things happen to good people,and its not that bad of thing,you are going to bring another human being into this world and thats a wonderful thing and I will be here for you if you need me"
On the way home Zoe thought about everything that had happened in the last month. She thought what her life would be like right now if dan hadn't kissed her,and if she had aceppted Marcos Proposal. Zoe felt like the world was spinning and she was just standing still,not moving. She thought what was she going to tell the kids,what was she going to tell Marcos,that was the man she was in love with,the man that had proposed to her,the man that she said No to. The man she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
When Zoe walked in the door,you could tell she had been crying "Whats wrong Aunt Zoe?" Hannah Asked "Nothing Hannah,I'm fine, go get your brother and sister and tell them were going out to eat" "Ok" Hannahs face lit up "Where Are We Going?" "Your Choice" "Thanks Aunt Zoe,I Love You" Hannah thought and thought about where to go. "I Know!" Just then Taylor walked down at looked at her Aunt. "Aunt Zoe.." Zoe then gave her a look then said Dont Ask,Taylor knew then to leave it alone. "So Hannah,Where do you want to go?" "Lets go eat at Marcos House" Hannah Exclaimed! Zoe had just remembered that she had not even told Hannah and Cliff about Marcos and how he asked her to Marry Him. "Hannah,go get Cliff,I need to talk to you two" "Yeah Aunt Zoe What is it?" Cliff asked "I Need to tell you kids something,Marcos asked me to Marry him..and" "What!! Coach asked you to Marry him Cliff exclaimed,Thats AWESOME!" "Cliff No,I couldnt,I Said No" "Why Aunt Zoe?" Hannah Asked?
"Well" She didnt know if she should tell the kids about Dan or not "Well you See.." just then Taylor cut it "Because Aunt Zoe just couldnt marry him right now because she was just very confused with her feelings" "Thanks Taylor" Zoe winked at Taylor.
The family went out to eat and all through dinner,Taylor kept looking at her Aunt,she knew something was wrong but she didnt want to ask in front of Cliff and Hannah,but she could tell by her Aunt was acting that something just wasnt right. The whole way home from the restaurant it was silent. Zoe was scared,she had never been pregnant before,and she wasn't even married. Taylor noticed a tear roll down her aunts face. All Taylor did was put her hand on her aunts shoulder and gave her a look that said "I Love You,And Everything Will Be Ok." After dropping the kids off Zoe went to Dans apartment,but she found herself going around the block about six times before going in. She didn't know what she was going to tell him,everything had happened so fast,as she stood there,before his door she just couldn't bring herself to knock,instead she sat down and cried.
About 20 minutes later she seen Dan coming down the hall,she quickly wiped her face and stood up. "Hey Zoe How.." He could tell she had been crying,and he knew what that meant.
"Oh Dan",she threw herself into his strong arms and started to cry,"I..I don't know what I'm going to do" "Oh Zoe I wish I could tell you what to do,but i dont know what to do either" as a tear rolled down his face,he hated to see Zoe like this,he wished that he could kiss her and just take all her pain and worries. This was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with,still in his arms Zoe looked up at Dan and asked him a hard question for even her to say "Do you want me to have the baby?" as more tears rolled down Zoe's red and blotchy face. Dan answered by saying "I want you to do whatever will make YOU happy" "Oh Dan I Lo.." she couldn't bring herself to say those three simple words,she just didnt know if she could fall in love again. "You what Zoe?" Dan knew what she was going to say and he understood why she couldnt say it right now. He just simply said "I Love You Too Zoe" and with that they walked into his apartment as the main thought the floated around in her mind now was-
"What Am I Going To Tell The Kids?"
"Dan,Im Pregnant..With Your Baby"
They both just looked at each other in total amazement,and then Zoe just sat down and started Crying.
"Dan..I..I..Just don't know how this happened,I mean I'm on The Pill,and we used condoms...didn't we?"
