"I know what you're thinking. You want to know if she's yours."
"Well, is she?"
"Well, ummm, yeah. Yeah, she is." Sara said looking down at the floor. She prepared herself for the outburst sure to follow.
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? I would have supported you and her."
"I had just been transferred. I didn't know how you would react. I bring her back now because you deserve to know her and her to know you. I know you're going to say Well why didn't you tell me to begin with' and truthfully, Nick, I don't know. I had so many dreams that I would lose her, and when I almost did in a car accident, I didn't want to burden you. You weren't ready to settle down and I knew, since you're such a gentleman, that the first thing you would do is propose. Well actually the first thing you would do is faint, but when you were revived, you would propose, and I didn't want our marriage to be for the sake of this kid. I have to breathe now."
"Men don't faint, they pass out" was his answer to her speech.
"What!"
"You were wrong. On so many levels. I would do what you wanted. I would propose unless you wanted to get married. I wouldn't abandon you because You know how I am. I love kids Sara. I grew up with 6 brothers and sisters!" He took her face in his hand. " And I think you knew that."
Crying was heard again as Audrey felt the loss of her mother's warmth.
"one second Nic-"
"Let me get her."
With that, she knew that Nick had accepted Audrey. He didn't know if he accepted her, but she was relieved that she wouldn't be thrown out of his life, at least not yet.
A/N: I know I said I would wait until tonight, but a fellow writer informed me that I wasn't allowed to ask for votes in reviews.
Everyone knows a story isn't a story without drama. You thought that was it? Just wait until next chapter.
