Today was the day I'm leaving for Florida. Danny's going to be so surprised to see me come a day earlier. I sat down in my seat and looked out the window. The ground was covered in muddy snow. All of a sudden, I felt a small thump against my abdomen. My baby's kicking, I thought, with a smile on my face
As we took off, I began to feel drowsy. Soon enough, I was fast asleep.

About three hours later, I felt someone shaking my arm. It was the woman next to me. She said that we were beginning to descend. I looked out the window, staring back at me was sunny Florida. I smiled.

When I got off the plane, I got my suitcases and hailed a taxi. They took me to the college and I couldn't be any more excited. I was finally going to see Danny after three, long months.

I got in the elevator and went up to the floor that Danny had told me a week ago. I got to his door. It was unlocked, so I went in. To my surprise, I saw two people sitting on one of the beds, hooking up. Tears pooled in my eyes as I screamed, "Danny! How could you?!" I ran out of there before he could turn around. I ran down the hall, with my hands covering my face to catch my endless tears. Suddenly, two hands caught my shoulders.

I looked up. Standing there was the blue-eyed wonder that I loved. "Danny..." I whispered. I wrapped my arms around him, with tears still flowing down my cheeks. "I've missed you so much," I said softly
He kissed my head. "I missed you too, Sammy."
"Yeah... Don't call me that," I said, laughing. Mood swings are kicking in again.
"I didn't think you'd come until tomorrow."
"I wanted to surprise you. So I came a day early."
"Well, I am surprised."
"Thought you would."
We both shared a small laugh and let go of each other. "Uh, I remember you wanted to tell me something. Something important."
I nodded. "Yeah, but can we go somewhere private? There's someone in you're room playing tonsil hockey with some girl."
He ran his fingers through his hair. "Er, yeah. That's my roommate, Jake. And his girlfriend, Haley. They do that a lot."
"Uh huh."
"Well, we can go in Em's room. She won't mind."
"Em?"
"Just a friend."
"Oh."
We went into her room which was, of course, empty.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" he asked, sitting down on one of the beds
I closed the door and sighed. "What I'm about to tell you is extremely personal. I'd appreciate it if you don't tell anyone. Just yet."
"I won't, promise." I sat down next to him. I put my hands on top of his and sighed again. Then I took off my coat, revealing my pregnant belly. Danny's eyes and mouth were wide open.
"Sam... I had no idea. Are you okay?"
I nodded. He put his arms around me. "Whatever happens, remember, I'll always be here for you. Okay?" He kissed my head again.
"Thanks." I kissed his cheek lightly.
"There's one thing I have to ask."
"Ask away."
"Who's baby is it?"
I looked down and whispered, "Your's."
"What?" he asked
"YOURS!!" jumping up from the bed, I screamed, "I'm pregnant with your babies!"
I turned away to cry. Danny put his hand on my shoulder. "What do you mean, babies?"
"I'm having twins," I said quietly, turning around to face him
"Oh, my God. Sam! What were you thinking?!"
"It's not my fault!" I screamed, pointing at him, "You were the one who was so drunk he couldn't walk two feet! You were the one who decided to spend the night in my bed! You were the one who decided to screw on me while I slept! It's your fault!" I covered my mouth when I realized what I had just said. "Oh, Danny, no, don't—"
I put a finger to my mouth to shut me up. "You're right. It was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten drunk in the first place. Now you have to suffer. But I have to ask you, why didn't you tell me what I did that night in the first place?"
"I-I was scared."
"Of what?"
"I was scared that you'd want nothing to do with me if you found out I was pregnant. Also, I decided to keep the babies," I replied, holding my stomach
He put his hands on my shoulders. "Sam, you're eighteen. How can you take care of two babies while also juggling school and work?"
"I-I don't know. I'll find a way. But I just wanted to tell you before you had to find out the hard way."
He didn't reply. He just put his arms around me and kissed my cheek lightly. "I love you, Sam." he whispered in my ear
"I love you, too." I cried
"Oh, Sam, what's with the tears?"
"I'm just really happy. That's all."
He smiled. I smiled back. He just knew how to make me happy.
