Chapter Twenty: This Feeling's worth a Million Smiles

Being faced with what I'm faced with I feel
Like I can't rock
Like a rock hit my heart
Started to chain the day
And exploded into pieces

Oliver

I stood in her room, holding Danica, and pulling Emma close to me with my other arm. We smiled at Brooklyn as Jay held her hand. He was perfect for her, I could see it. He cared so much about her baby that wasn't even his. Maddox was sitting in his lap. He'll be good for her.

After a long time of talking with them in her room, the doctors told us that only one of us could stay. The baby was coming. Emma took Maddox from Jay and I wished them both luck. We went out into the waiting room. We were the only ones there. Her parents didn't show up; Sean obviously wasn't there.

Soon Emma's parents showed up and sat with us, waiting.

Brooklyn

The doctor told me that the baby was fully grown and there shouldn't be a problem with the delivery.

After twenty long minutes of pushing, my baby was finally here. My whole body relaxed as soon as I knew it was over. I squeezed Jay's hand as the announcement was made.

"It's a boy!" I have another son. I cried tears of joy as I watched Jay cut the umbilical cord. My son was handed to me and I stroked his soft cheek. Jay kissed me and asked me something. I was so wrapped up in the baby that I didn't even hear him.

"What?" I asked as soon as the doctors left us.

"Will you marry me?" he said as he got down on one knee, pulling a box out of his pocket.

"Yes!" I squealed. "Of course I will."

Emma

I can't believe that Brooklyn and Jay are getting married. I'm really happy for them. We stayed and held the baby for a little while, and left when Danica started getting tired.

On the way home, I remembered my little problem. The pregnancy test that was waiting for me.

Oliver

"I took a test," she told me as we walked into our apartment.

"What test?" I asked, confused. We put Danica to bed before she ever said anything else. Grasping my hand, Emma led me to the bathroom and I saw it there, sitting on the counter. I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to smile.

"Will you look for me?" she asked. I nodded and picked it up, along with the directions. I studied both for a minute or so.

"Well?" she asked.

"It's negative." A sigh of relief escaped my lips, but then I realized that Emma wasn't so happy. She slid down the wall and sat on the ground, crying hysterically. "What's wrong babe?" I asked her, kneeling in front of her.

"I don't know…I'm partly relieved that I'm not pregnant. I don't think we could handle another baby right now. But then, another part of me wants to be pregnant. I want to have kids with you Oliver," she cried.

"We will have kids, someday," I reassured her.

"How do you know?" she asked.

"Because I want you to marry me." I pulled the ring out of my pocket. Jay beat me to it with Brooklyn, but I didn't mind. As long as she says yes.

Emma

"Yes, I'll marry you," I told him. All of my doubts and fears vanished right there on the spot.

Oliver pulled me up off the floor and embraced me.

I would never let go.

Marry me
Stay the same
Lie to me and try to say you never will

A/N: The End! What did you think of the whole story? The song is "Pieces Mended" by The Used and they own it. I used it for the last part…the section of lyrics at the beginning are a bit confusing. Yeah, I just made up the title of this chapter off the top of my head…it seemed to fit. Now, it's not the complete end, because I'm doing an epilogue, which is the next 'chapter.' Also, if just one person asks for the alternate ending in a review, I'll post it after the epilogue. Let me know!

Qtpye: The baby came? Congratulations! Boy? Girl? Name? You don't have to answer my questions if you don't want to. Thanks for staying one of my loyal reviewers no matter what :D
