Ava sat on her bed with her hair still wrapped in a towel thinking about her dream when Nikki came in.
"Are you okay, Aunt Ava?" Nikki asked.
"Nikki, do you think that dreams could tell the future?"
"I think that dreams tell us our gut feeling about something. Especially if that feeling is something that we may not want to be true." Nikki answered.
"Maybe. I never thought about that before," said Aunt Ava.
"Aunt Ava, does this conversation have anything to do with the dream that you had last night? You didn't seem okay when you came downstairs this morning," said Nikki.
"Yeah, I had a really weird dream, and I'm not quite sure what it could mean," Aunt Ava said.
"Was the dream about you and Johnny?" questioned Nikki.
Ava looked up to Nikki.
"How did you know?"
"I think that you and Johnny both still have feelings for one another. That's why you didn't marry Dr. O'Keefe this summer when he asked you. You were still in love with Johnny," Nikki said.
"Do you think that Johnny still loves me?" Ava asked.
"Yes. What happened in your dream?" asked Nikki.
"Well, I was sitting on my bed in a wedding dress. Johnny came over in a tux and started to talk about what we would do after the….. Ummmmm, I mean he talked about our future once we were married," Ava explained.
"Even though I'm not stupid and I realize that you gave me a revised version, not the real thing, I'm willing to bet that you truly believe that in the end, you and Johnny belong together," Nikki said. "Do you know what I think?"
"Johnny and I are going to get back together. Oh my gosh!" Ava exclaimed.
Sarah and Bradin sat on the beach looking at the waves rolling in. Sarah had tears in her eyes and Bradin was really worried about what she had to say. He knew better than to push her to tell him what was wrong, but he was getting impatient. Finally Bradin just had to ask Sarah what was wrong.
"Sarah, what's wrong?" Bradin asked gently.
"Do you promise that you won't get mad?" Sarah asked tentatively.
"No, what happened?" he asked.
"I have skipped for three months," she said.
"Skipped wh… holy crap Sarah!" Bradin said when he realized what Sarah was trying to tell him.
"I know," Sarah said.
"But we used protection, Sarah," Bradin said.
Sarah paused for a moment before talking to Bradin again.
"I don't think you're the father of the baby," she said as she looked down at her hands. Bradin looked from the sand to her face.
"That's even worse Sarah!" he exclaimed.
"I thought you would be glad that you weren't a father at 16! Isn't that something that you should be happy about?" Sarah almost yelled.
"I would rather be a father than have to know that my one serious girlfriend cheated on me and is now pregnant with a baby that is not mine!" Bradin yelled so loudly that a few people on the beach turned and stared at the couple.
"I'm sorry. I wish I could take it back," said Sarah in almost a whisper.
"Good-bye Sarah!" said Bradin as he stood up to leave. "You know what? I thought you changed. I thought you were better about cheating on me, but now I know that you are just one big liar!" Bradin turns and runs home leaving Sarah crying on the sand.
Back at the house, Nikki is reading a book on the couch and Derrik is playing a video game.
"Derrik?" Nikki said.
"Hmmm?" he replied.
"What would you think if Johnny and Aunt Ava got back together?" Nikki asked.
"I like Johnny a lot. It would be cool if he were like another dad to me," Derrik said.
"That's how I feel too," said Nikki.
Johnny walks in and sits on the couch with Nikki.
"Ava asked me to keep you two occupied for the day. So, do you want to see a movie?" Johnny asked.
"Sure," both Nikki and Derrik answer.
Before Johnny can say anything else, Bradin comes in, slams the door, and runs up to his room.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Johnny said.
"Sarah's pregnant!" Bradin said.
"WHAT?!?" Johnny yelled.
Johnny starts to go up the stairs to follow Bradin, but then he turns around to face Nikki and Derrik.
"We'll take a rain check on the movie, Johnny," Nikki said.
"Thanks," Johnny said.
Johnny goes upstairs to talk to Bradin.
