!JAKE'S POV!
Things were great. Alyssa had said yes and I felt like I living in Heaven. I wasn't sure how we were going to get all this planning done and everything with the baby on the way and finals, but I was just praying for the best. It didn't really matter because I was engaged. Wow, that was weird to say but I really am engaged. But there was still so much to be done with planning the wedding and everything and the baby's arrival was getting closer and closer. It was hard to comprehend when I thought about it. I could never imagine myself being a Dad today. Maybe in a few years, but not in a few months. I knew this would change my life. For the better, I was hoping. Well I had barely got any sleep last night from excitement so I was pretty tired this morning. I thought about it for a while and decided I should probably talk to Alyssa about the wedding. Even though it was early, it was probably for the best. I walked over to her room and knocked on the door. Alyssa answered it. She looked great even though she was still in what she slept in. "Jake!" She flung her arms around my neck and it made me feel good inside. She invited me in and I could see they were packing. That was a good idea. "Hey just dropping by to talk about some of the wedding plans but if you're packing I could come by later or we could just talk on the flight home." "Is it all right if we talk on the flight back to California? I'm helping them." "Sure, that's fine." "Alright, sorry but we'd have longer to talk." "No, its ok you're right, it'd be better to talk on the way home." "Alright." she smiled. Gosh I loved her smile. She was so beautiful when she smiled. "What time does the flight leave again?" she asked. "Uhh, about 3 hours." "Oh crap. Yeah, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later!" She kissed me on the cheek and closed the door. She was so awesome. I went back to my room and packed it took me about 2 hours because I kept getting distracted. At around 2:30 everyone got in the car and we drove to the airport we all boarded the plane and left within an hour. We were sitting in groups of 2 so I could talk to Alyssa alone. "So...didn't u say u wanted to talk about the wedding?" "Yeah." "What is it?" "Well, we just need to decide what we're going to do. Are we going to wait awhile? Wait till the summer? Wait till the baby is born? Is the wedding going to casual or elaborate? I think we need to start thinking about everything.""Mmhmm, you're right. What do you think we should do?" "I don't know. I thought you would know." I laughed a little. "So neither of us knows...well we have a 3 hour flight to get some things decided." "Yeah, I guess we do." "So first off, do you want to wait till the baby's born or not?" I sighed. I really didn't know what we should do. I thought Alyssa would have a definite idea of everything she wanted to and I would go along with it. "Well I don't really know. There are pros and cons to both. she laughed a little "it's confusing huh?" she added. I smiled at her. "Yeah." I put my hand on top of hers. "But we'll figure everything out. You shouldn't worry about it now. Just relax." "Ok I guess you're right. Tell you what, you can think about it and I will take a nap. Ok?" She laughed. "Sorry but I'm so tired." she added. I smiled. "No it's fine." She rested her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. This was going to be a very log few months.
!SARAH'S POV!
So we had been in Evanston a while and it was time to go back to California before school started up again. The next day we were all packed and headed to the airport and got on the plane. They didn't have 4 seats together so we had to sit in groups of 6. Kyle and I sat together, of course. I was glad to have some alone time just to talk. I was really glad I was with a guy like him. He was just so nice and supportive. I started to think about 8th grade when I met him. He was just a cute guy that liked sports and we had a lot in common. And now, 5 1/2 years later we were still together and I was pregnant. For some reason I just started crying right then and there. "Baby what's wrong?" "I just don't know how I'm going to take care of this baby when it's born by myself." "By yourself? What are you talking about? I'm going to be there." I finally figured out what was wrong with me this whole time and why I was always so upset and crying. Kyle never asked me to marry him and I think that's what I was always wanted. To get married then have kids. Not the other way around. "I know but..." I decided just to tell him the truth, exactly what I was thinking. "I always wanted to get married and have kids, not the way around." "You want to get married?" he asked dumbfounded. "Of course! That's what's right." Kyle smiled and chuckled half-heartedly. "All this time I thought you didn't want to get married. I've wanted to get married for the longest time, but I always thought you wanted to wait longer." "No, I don't. I mean with a baby on the way the baby needs a mother and a father. I guess I've kind of been jealous of Alyssa and Jake since they're getting married." "Is that why you've been so upset?" I nodded. "I'm so sorry Sarah. Are we getting married then?" "That's no way to propose" I laughed. "Alright then, well I can't really get down on one knee but Sarah, will you marry me?" I smiled, relieved. "Yes." "Oh, but I will make it up to you and make it more special and I'll get a ring. It'll be the best night of your life. We're going to take care of our baby." I sighed and laid my head on Kyle's shoulder. I was going to be Mrs. Sarah Darling. Then, I remembered how I got pregnant.
!AUDREY'S POV!
I left Sarah lying. She had fallen asleep and I could tell she had been upset about something. The next morning when I woke up, I saw Sarah in the bed with Alyssa. She was awake. "Are you ok, Sarah?" She explained to how she fell asleep while she was thinking. I didn't believe her, but I didn't want to keep talking about it. For the rest of the day we packed because tomorrow we were going back to California. I was excited because the play was coming. They're saying this is their biggest production ever. Right after Romeo and Juliet, though, we're starting on Chicago. I definitely want the lead part in that. I felt like I was on a role and life was actually on my side. It was a good feeling. I called my Mom before we left for the airport. I told her good bye and that I loved her. I was worried about her, but I knew she was strong. We hadn't gotten seats together on the plane, so we all sat in groups of two. I sat with Kevin and I was so glad to be with him and to talk. He was so great and I couldn't ask for anything better. I laid my head on his shoulder while he held my hand. He leaned over in my ear and whispered "I love you so much." I smiled. Hearing that was so good. Just think, a month ago we were really bad off and not getting along at all. I'm so glad that's over. I lifted my head and looked around. Alyssa's head was rested on Jake's shoulder and she was asleep. I looked over at Sarah. She laid her head on Kyle's shoulder, but then suddenly her eyes popped open. She seemed to realize something. Maybe she forgot something at the hotel. I'll ask later. I turned around back to Kevin and kissed him on the cheek.
!KYLE'S POV!
On the plane, Sarah and I agreed that we would get married. I was glad to hear that that's what she wanted to do. All this time, I thought she had wanted to wait. I just need to make it up to her and actually give a good proposal. So here we were, back at UCLA with school starting tomorrow. This year had gone by pretty fast so far considering everything. I was glad to be back, even though I did love my home, it's just good to be in a different environment. I settled back into my room and unpacked. I was ready for classes to begin. But I still had a day left. I was pretty exhausted, I decided a nap was in order so I climbed in my bed and fell asleep. I guess I must have really been tired, because I woke up the next morning at my usual 6 A.M. and got ready. I was psyched to get back on the field. I got dressed and went down to the cafe and got some breakfast before heading off to soccer practice. I don't know why but it's like I had an extra burst of energy. I guess I was just glad to be out on the field. Soccer is just so right for me. I was most happy on the field... and when I was with Sarah.
!ALYSSA'S POV!
We were back at UCLA. It felt kind of nice to be back even though I love my family. By now everyone knew that I was pregnant and Megan had already told a bunch of people about me being engaged. I was always happy now. I liked it but there was still so much planning to be done. Since I had slept on the plane, I wasn't very tired when we got back but I think everyone else went to sleep so I figured I should too. I woke up the next morning with enough time to get ready and meet downstairs for breakfast. After my classes I came back to my empty dorm and Jake came by to discuss wedding plans. We decided to do it before the baby is born and also, to have the wedding on the beach. That was my long time dream, to get married on a beach. After a while of planning, I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for a sonogram. Jake and I had decided to wait until the baby was born to find out if it was a boy or a girl so after we were assured our baby was healthy, we left and I went back to my dorm and slept.
!KEVIN'S POV!
The plane ride back with Audrey was great. We got to spend some time alone and it was really nice. I was glad to be back at school. When we got back, Audrey and I went to the cafe' and got some coffee and talked some. It was great being with her. Classes started tomorrow we went back to our rooms fairly early so we could get a good night sleep. The next morning went pretty fast. This was good because after classes I got to spend time with Audrey. I got up early. Jake was still asleep as usual. He was always sleeping in late. I got dressed and went to class. After class, I went to the cafe to have lunch with Audrey, Sarah, and Kyle. It was nice just sitting down, eating, and talking. After classes and after homework, I went by Audrey's dorm, knocked on it when she answered it; I took her hand and led her out to my car. "Where are we going?" "It's a surprise" I drove us down to the beach and we got there just as the sun was setting.
