"Mass, have you thought of a name for our baby girl?" Derrick asked me. We were at his house and we were in the family room. It was 2 weeks after Christmas, and since my parents were still out of town and we decided that Inez and Isaac could have the week off, the Harrington's has allowed me to spend Christmas with them. I'm already pregnant, so what more can Derrick and I do?
"I don't know. There are so many names. Then will she have Harrington or Block as her last name?" I asked. Snuggling into him more, I looked into the fire. We were sitting on his couch, and his housekeeper, Pam, lit the fire for us. Outside we could see that it was snowing, and I was all nice and cozy.
"Block, until we get married she should have the last name Block. Oh this is my family's favorite Christmas song." Derrick said his parents had the house stereo on Christmas music so most rooms had music playing. The song that was playing was 'The First Noel' with a symphony and it was really pretty. Derrick grabbed the remote and turned it up.
This was the best Kodak moment ever. Snuggled up in blankets, sweaters, hot chocolate, fireplace, and snow outside. "Noel…Noelle Elizabeth Block." I whispered under my breath. Then I felt a little tiny kick.
"What Mass?" Derrick asked.
"How about, Noelle Elizabeth Block for her name? It's really pretty, and it would go well with Harrington too." I really liked the name.
"I love it Mass, Noelle Block, Noelle Harrington. It's perfect. Your perfect and I love you." He kissed me on top of my head.
"I love you too Derrick. I love you too." My eyelids dropped and that was the last moment I remembered in my sleep.
"I hate you Derrick!" I told him. We were in our room that we shared till I returned home.
"Why do you hate me?" He was sitting on his bed and he was texting the boys about hanging out later.
"Because you got me pregnant, that's why I hate you. Look at me, I'm starting to show! I can't even fit into my jeans anymore! We go back to school in 3 days, and I won't have anything to wear because I'm too fat to wear it!" I stepped out of the closet and was looking at myself in the full length mirror. I couldn't even button my size 2 jeans. This is so unfair.
"Mass, we are going to the mall, you can buy clothes there. Have you even told your parents about the baby yet?" He asked.
"No, I was going to tonight when I video chat with them, and you are going to be there do tell them with me." I said.
"Okay, whatever you need me to do, I will do it." Derrick said. "So are you and the girls just going to the mall?"
"Yeah, what are you and the guys doing today?" I walked back into our closet, and grabbed a pair of yoga pants and a loose silk cami and a cardigan.
"Um, I think we are just going to hang out here. My parents went to some party, and Kate and Adam are at my grandparents for the next couple of days. After you are all done with the shopping, why don't you bring all the girls over here to hang out?" I had already walked into the adjoining bathroom and was starting to do my hair and make-up.
"Yeah, I know the girls would want to spend some time with their boyfriends. Did you know that Dylan and Plovert are going out now? Apparently he asked her out yesterday. Dylan is just as happy as can be too." After 30 minutes, I was finished. I stepped back and gave myself a 9.5.
"Alright, Alisha just texted me, they are waiting outside for me." I went over to the bed and sat down. He was lying down and looked up and me. His arms snaked around my waist and pulled me down. Then his lips found mine and we kissed of a few minutes until I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled from Derrick and gave him a light peck on the lips. "Love you." I yelled as I ran from his doorway.

"Dude, have you and Mass decided what to do with it?" Josh asked me.
"Yeah we decided to keep her." I replied. We were in my massive kitchen, and the pizza guy just showed up. We were each grabbing a plate full to bring back down to the basement.
"Have you decided on a name?" Cam was piling his plate high with chicken wings and pizza.
"Um, she decided on Noelle Elizabeth Block. Then if one day we get married we will change it to Harrington." I walked out of the kitchen and took the stairs to the basement and sat back down in the leather chairs. The guys all followed behind me and took their seats.
"What about soccer though?" Chris asked.
"What about it. Massie's the one that's pregnant, not me." I said.
"What about college soccer, and maybe pro soccer? You won't have that much time to spend with you daughter and Massie." Chris shot back at me. All the guys were nodding their heads in agreement.
"I don't know." I replied.
"What about Wake Forest University? What's Massie going to do when you leave all the way for North Carolina? Will she follow you?" Josh said. I didn't know why they were giving me such a hard time.
"I never told her. I will probably end up going to Yale or Brown with her." I haven't even told her about Wake Forest yet.
"DUDE! You got a full ride athletic scholarship to Wake Forest next year. They want you to be their starting goalie. Wake Forest is the best college to go to for soccer." Josh yelled at me.
"Yeah but Brown and Yale want me to play for them too." I knew exactly where they were going with this.
"You have a better shot in getting into the pros with Wake Forest than Brown or Yale. Is Massie telling you not to go to Wake Forest?" Cam asked.
"I haven't told her yet, and I know if I do she will force me to go, but I don't even think she applied to Wake Forest, and I don't want to be away from her." I said.
"Derrick, I'm sure she did apply. We all applied so that means that all the girls applied and if all the girls applied then so did she." Chris said.
"Yeah, I don't know. Can we get back to our video game now?" I said. They all nodded and we got back to our game.
A few hours later, the girls came back and came downstairs.
"I swear you boys are pigs. Look at this place. Poor Pam has to clean it all up too." Massie said. All the girls nodded. Claire walked over to Cam, gave him a kiss and sat down on his lap. Alisha went over to Josh and sat down next to him, and he put his arm around her. Kristen went over to Dempsey who was sitting on the couch and since there was no more room for her, she sat down on the floor in between his legs and he started to play with her long blonde hair. Dylan went and sat next to Chris on the floor, and Mass walked over to me. Before I let her sit down, I jumped up grabbed her hand a pulled her up the stairs.
"Derrick, what wrong?" She kept asking me as I walked her through the house and to my father's study. There were bookshelves all along the walls filled with books. There was a mahogany desk by the big bay window that looked at the front of the house. There was also a big fireplace, a couch and some chairs. There were also some big leather chairs in front of my father's desk. I sat Massie down in the big sofa.
"Derrick, what's going on?" She asked. The fire was going so the study was nice and warm. I still haven't said anything, so I went to my father's desk and grabbed my acceptance letter to Wake Forest University. Then I walked back over to the couch and gave her the letter.
"I got accepted into Wake Forest University. They offered me a full athletic scholarship, and they want me as their starting goalie. All the guys are going there. I want to know where you are going to school, because I want to be with you and Noelle. I don't want to be in different states than you two." I said without a single breath of air.
"Derrick, I was going to tell you this later, but I guess now is the time to say it. Three days ago, the editor of Vogue magazine called me and they want me to be a fashion reporter for them. This is my dream, and so after I talked it over with my parents, I accepted the job offer. I won't be going to college; I'm going to New York City." She told me. Well hell, this changes everything now.
"Alright, well I applied for Colombia, so I'll accept there and that way we will all be in the same place." I said. I made sure that I applied for many different schools so that way I had every possible option.
"No Derrick. You have to go to Wake Forest, they are better with soccer than Colombia. You need the best school for soccer. That's your dream. Me and Noelle, we will come to visit you all the time, and on breaks you can come up to New York. We will always be at your games too. Please don't give up your dream for mine." She said. She had a tear start to fall from her eye, and I wiped it away with my finger.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I want you to go to Wake Forest." She said.
"Alright." I sat down on the couch and pulled her into me. She fell asleep on my shoulder and I just watched the fire roar.
Over the next few months I watched Massie's belly grow very large. When we arrived back at school, at first people were shocked, but it's me and Massie, so they really didn't care. In fact I think 5 other girls got pregnant so that way they could be like her.
Massie was excited for everyday that passed which meant that she can leave and go to New York City to live. She already bought an apartment there, and all the guys and girls went and helped her set it up. It was a penthouse suite, and there was a room for her, Noelle, and 2 other empty bedrooms when we all came and visited her.
Soccer was going well, and I have been talking to the head soccer coach at Wake Forest, and he is very excited for next semester when I go and play for them. Massie came to every game of mine, and it was just great to see her there with her girls and cheer me on.
Today we will be graduating, and then it will soon be time for Massie to give birth. Everyday I've been getting more and more excited for Noelle to finally be here and I get to hold her. I've gone and bought everything that she will ever need and more. She will probably be the most spoiled baby in the world.
"Derrick, are you about ready? The Blocks want us to meet at their house in 5 minutes." My mom called up to me. I got up from my bed and walked downstairs. There was my mom, dad, Adam and Kate. I picked Kate up, and then we were leaving. I decided that I would take me Escalade. Adam decided that he wanted to ride with me, so Kate rode with my parents and Adam rode with me.
"Adam, sit in the back." I told him. Mom would probably shoot me if she saw he was in the front seat.
"Kay." He climbed into the back seat and buckled up. I buckled up while starting the car. Then I plugged in my IPod and was listening to some warm up songs I listen to before a big soccer game.
"Derrick, are you going to marry Massie? I really like her, and I love her as if she was my sister, and she's have your baby." He asked out nowhere.
"I don't know, I want to ask her to marry me, but we are both really young, so it will be a few years if we do decide to marry her." I told him. We stopped at a red light and I put on my blinker so I could turn.
"I think you should, because she really hot and other guys would love to date her. I know I would." Adam said.
"Adam, she is 8 years older than you, you don't have a shot." I said.
"Whatever, I'm cute, she totally loves me!" I could hear that he was giggling like a little school girl.
"Ha, keep dreaming my very small brother. You are too short for her to go out with you." I knew that he was very sensitive to his height.
"I'm not that short. I'm tallest in my class thank you very much." He crossed his arms and was trying to defend himself. It was actually really cute.
"Yeah, whatever keep telling yourself that. Besides we are here now so behave." I pulled into the Block's driveway and drove up their long winding driveway till I saw the huge, yet familiar mansion appeared.
