"Friends?"

For a minute he wasn't sure how to respond to her request. Then the words started flowing out of his mouth and he knew it was right.

"Jor, I've always been your friend and I always will. I can deny it, hell you can deny it but even with everything that's happened I never stopped caring about you."

At times she was sure he still cared about her but there was always that voice in her head. She would hear it at night when she couldn't sleep because she was up thinking about him. The voice told her he had moved on and she would cry herself to sleep.

She now felt a relief like never before and looking down she realized she was still holding on to his arm. Feeling courageous enough she decided to take the next step.

"I…need to tell you something. As a friend I need you to promise me not to freak out."

Knowing him she knew that wouldn't be possible but she tried nonetheless. She moved her hand slowly down his arm, putting her hands in his and gave him a gentle squeeze.

"Jordan," he said softly "what's going on? Why am I gonna freak out?"

"Something happened. Something I wasn't expecting…"

She paused for only a couple of seconds but it seemed a lifetime to both.

"Ok…Jordan…I'm freaking out." He said in a very calm tone. "What exactly are you telling me?"

She now moved his hand and placed it on her belly. He looked at her with his eyes wide open and tried to speak but couldn't.

"I'm telling you…that…well that I'm…pregnant."

"Wha…what?"

His face turned white and almost instantly she regretted telling him. She knew he wasn't ready to hear this.

"You're pregnant? Oh my god Jordan you're pregnant! Oh my god, this is…this is…"

"Clearly a mistake."

"What…no. How can you even say that? I'm going to be a father. Jordan I'm gonna to be a father."

He looked at her; tears were now forming in his eyes and her heart just melted. She was clearly wrong about him. He was happy.

"You're ok then?" she said with tears streaming down her face.

"Ok? I'm more than ok. Jordan we're gonna have a baby."

He gently moved closer and slowly hugged her for the first time in months. Who knew a simple hug could feel this good.
