The month of March had just began. It was now the year 2000. Lennon was at work. It was a slow day so she was going through her daily planner. Something terrifying dawned on her. She started counting back the days.

"Oh no." She said quietly. "No, no no." She realized her period was ten days late.

The next day Lennon went to Maggie's dorm. Maggie could tell something was wrong with Lennon as soon as she saw her.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure if anything's wrong yet." "I'm late."

"No." She said shocked.

"Yes."

"Does Randy know?"

"No." "I don't know how I could be pregnant." "I'm on the pill and we use condoms." "I've never been late before."

"Well nothing's a hundred percent full proof." "Have you bought a pregnancy test?"

"No." "I'm scared." "I'm not ready for a baby yet." "I still have one more year of school." "Randy and I don't have the room or money for a baby."

"I think you should tell Randy." "You need to buy a test to."

"I think I have to wait for a few more days to see results." She sighed frustrated.

"It's gonna be ok." They hugged.

Later that evening Lennon had just gotten home. Randy was sitting on the couch. She sat down next to him. They kissed

"Hi." She said unsure how to start the conversation.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I don't know how to start." "I'm um, late."

"For?"

"My period."

"By a lot?"

"Ten days."

"Whoa." He said surprised.

"Yeah."

"Are you pregnant?"

"I don't know."

"Wanna go buy a test?" "We'll do it together."

"I have a few days before anything would show up on a test."

"Do you think something would show up by the time I get back from Akron this weekend?"

"Yeah." "Randy I'm scared." "I don't want a baby right now."

"We don't know anything yet?" "If you are pregnant, we'll deal with it." "We're in this together." "It's ok." He kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Randy was in Akron. It had been two days since Lennon told Randy she could be pregnant. He was in John's room talking to him about it.

"So are you freaking out?" John asked.

"I was at first but now that I've had a little time to think about it, I'll be happy if she's pregnant." "I know it wasn't planned but we could make it work."

"I know you and her will be good parents if she is pregnant."

The next afternoon Randy had just gotten home. He put his bag down.

"Len, I'm home." Randy said. "I stopped by the drugstore and bought a pregnancy test." "The pharmacist said it was the best one." "Where are you baby? She came out of the bathroom with a big smile on her face and hugged Randy.

"I started my period." She said happily. "I never thought I'd be so happy to start my period in my life."

"That's great." He said trying to sound happy but the truth was he was a little disappointed.

"I'm not pregnant." "This is so great." "I love you." She kissed him. "I've gotta call Maggie."

Later that night Lennon and Randy had just gotten in bed. She could tell something was wrong with Randy.

"Honey, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." He said a little hurt but trying to hide it.

"Are you bummed because we can't have sex?" "You know I always make sure you're well satisfied when we can't." "Want me to?" "I will." She said smiling.

"No."

"Are you mad at me?"

"Would having my baby really be such a terrible thing?"

"What?"

"I know you were freaking out about it at first." "I was to but as I had time to process it, I was getting used to the idea."

"You wanted me to be pregnant?" She said surprised.

"Part of me did." "From your reaction you didn't want it even a little bit." "Knowing that me getting you pregnant is something you're so against just really sucks."

"Randy look at me." He looked "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." "It's not that I don't want to have your baby ever." "I was happy because I'm not ready now." "One day I would love to have your children."

"You would?" He said smiling.

"Of course." "Our babies will be beautiful." "I'm sorry." "Please forgive me."

"Come here Lennon." They hugged and kissed. "I'm sorry I got so upset."

"No I'm sorry." "I was only thinking about how I felt about it." "I didn't even stop to think how you felt." "I love you Randy."

"I love you too Lennon." They kissed. "Wanna watch something before we go to sleep?"

"Yeah."
