This is chapter one of Between You and I. Remember, I don't own any of the people or the titles of some chapters or the story. The story has changed a little, Cecilia is already pregnant and it kind of reflects back to their family's warnings and stuff like that.
Chapter 1: Choices
Simon Camden sat on his bed, thinking about his girlfriend. She was beautiful, and he knew it. Her bright blue eyes, her shoulder-length blonde hair. Yep. He was in love. Deeply in love.
They had discussed having sex before today, but he honestly hadn't really payed attention to their school counselor when they had discussed it with him. He had been staring at her. She had been looking at him, too.
Their parents had told them about the consequences of having sex, too. They had been told about a million times, but they had never listened.
A tear fell down Simon's cheek, and he buried his head in his pillow. It was too late to think about consequences now, because they had already done it. And Cecilia was pregnant. With his baby.
Simon didn't know what to do now. She was depending on him. Their baby was depending on him. He was depending on himself, but he didn't know if they should get married and keep the baby, or just give the baby up for adoption. He decided that he wouldn't be able to let them take his baby away from him. They would have to keep it. Now he needed to decide if they should get married, but this was a bigger chance to take. What if they had problems?
What if their baby didn't survive? What if Cecilia died? What if he lost both of them because he had been stupid? He couldn't bear to think about this right now.
He lay his head down and pulled his covers up around him. As he lay there, more tears came as he looked at her picture that was framed on his nightstand. She had been sweet and innocent when that picture had been taken... but now... now she was going to be a teenage mom. Soon Simon fell asleep, thinking about her...

Cecilia was sitting on her bed that night, looking at the baby name book that Simon had bought for her. She had a list of names for girls, and a separate one for boys.
She sat the book down. She had already cried herself dry for the night, so she had decided that if they were really having a baby that it needed a name. She looked at her list. It was kind of long, but she chose five from each list.
She picked up her phone and dialed the Camden's number. Ruthie answered the phone. "Hello? This is Ruthie."
"Hey, Ruthie. It's Cecilia. Um... is...is Simon there?"
"Yeah, hang on. I'll get him."
Two minutes later, she heard her boyfriend's voice. "Hello?"
"Hi."
"How are you?"
"As good as someone who is two months pregnant can be, I guess. I've been having morning sickness, but no one has noticed around here. I... um... looked at that baby name book you got. I chose some names that I like."
"Really? Which ones?"
"Well, I really like Chrystian, Breckin, Austin, Logan and Channing for boys. For girls, I like Éclaire, Jayalynn, Castle-Lynn, Cassidy and Chaylei. Any takes?"
"I think Breckin and Chrystian are cute for boys, and I like Cassidy and Éclaire for girls, but they are all cute."
"How about Breckin Logan and Castle-Lynn Éclaire?"
"Cute. I like them both. Do you think our baby will be a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know, but we need to tell our parents."
"I know. Should we tell them tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's as good a time as any."
"See you tomorrow, then, baby. I love you... and I love the baby, too."
"We both love you. I'll see you at school. Bye."
"Bye."
She hung up and pulled up her covers. "I love you," she whispered to her baby as she stroked her stomach. She would start showing soon, she knew it. She fell asleep with her hand still resting on the place where her and Simon's baby was...
Hope you enjoyed it! Please R&R!
