"What do you mean, Quil?" Sam asked, frowning.

"Quil is the father." I answered.

"You wanted to have a baby with Quil?" He asked.

"No. I wanted Quil.... The baby just happened." I answered him.

"Right. Leah. Let me take you home." He said. I frowned, but stood up.

He took my arm and led me out to his car.

"Now. Where am I taking you?" He asked. "Your house? Or Quil's?" He cringed at the thought.

"Quil's." I answered. "Quil is taking care of me." I told him.

"Where is he anyway?" Sam asked.

"I am not sure... He left earlier to do something. We are getting married tomorrow....." I told him.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"Emily wouldn't like to miss that." He commented.

"We are going to leave town and get married at a court house. We won't be back for a while...... Not untill the baby is older...."

"Leah. Why won't you come back?"

"Because I don't want to have to explain why I am already having a baby....." I muttered.

"Whatever." He said, pulling in to the driveway. "Here we are." He said.

"Thanks, Sam." I said.

"Bye, Leah." I got out of the car.

"Bye, Sam." I went to the door and unlocked it... I looked back at the car in the driveway. Sam waved at me and then pulled out......

I walked into the house and into our bedroom, where I changed into my pajamas... After that I lay down on the bed and twisted the ring on my finger.....

I was hardly aware of the door opening and Quil walking in, until I felt the bed move and two strong arms wrap around me.

"Hello." He said.

"Hey." I answered.

"How are you?" He asked, smiling at me.

"Fine." I said, smiling at him.

"What?"

"I don't know..." I said. "Thank you." I told him.

"For what?"

"I thought everyone hated me... But now..." I laughed.

"Well. Your welcome." He smiled.

"Tonight. Did you go see Clair?" I asked.

"Yes."

"How was she?" I asked.

"Good, thanks."

"No reason to be. I mean I have to love your soul mate." I said.

"Oh, Leah. She may be my soul mate, but I love you." He said, taking my face in his large hands. "Like I said, I am to old for her." He kissed me.

"I love you, too." I told him.

"You must sleep, my love." He said, sweetly. He smiled at me and then I kissed him.

"Good night." I said.

"Night." He said, smiling... He held me protectively, and I closed my eyes..

-

The early morning light woke me up and I saw Quil sitting on the edge of the bed packing a bag.. I sat up and he smiled at me. "Good morning." He said, smiling. He set down the bag and kissed me.

"Morning." I said. "How are you?"

"Good." He said. He stood up and went to the closet and put some clothes in the bag.

"You packing?" I asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Need any help?" I asked.

"I'm good. Unless you want to make us some breakfast." He said.

"I'll go do that." I said, standing up. I began walking to the door, but he stopped me.

"You aren't getting away that easy." He kissed me.

"I wasn't trying to." I answered. He held me there for a moment and I laughed.

"Good." He kissed me again.

"Are hungry?" I asked, mockingly.

"Sadly." He answered.

"Then I will go make food." I told him. He kissed me goodbye and I walked to the door.

-

"That was nice, Lee-Lee." Quill said, picking the bag up off the floor.. He took my hand and kissed my cheek. "I love you." He smiled at me.

"Thank you and I love you, too.." I answered. He put his arm around me and I smiled at him.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked, smiling.

"Yes." I answered. He smiled and began walking to the door.

"Then, my love, we will go."

When he opened the door and I stepped out, I was amazed to see that the sun was bright and the sky was blue.

"I think it's a sign." He said, turning to me. "I think it is a sign that we are going to be fine. That our little family will be great! The baby will be good and we will be able to be happy together, forever." He said.

"I hope so."

"I know so." He answered. "Lets go get married!" He smiled.

"Lets." I answered.

-

"Sweetheart. Wake up." He smiled. "Wake up. Leah?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I smiled, trying to open my eyes. "Where are we?" I asked once my eyes were open.

"We are at a court house." He told me, looking out at the court house. "I thought we could get married here.. Then we could go to Seattle..." He muttered.

"Where are we now?" I asked.

"A small town outside Seattle." He answered. "I thought we could go have some lunch, then drive back here and get married.. Then we'll drive to Seattle.." He muttered, doubting his plan. "Okay?" He asked.

"Sounds like a plan." I said, looking up into the blue sky.

-

"I do." I said, a single tear running down my face. He smiled at me.

"And do you, Quil Ateara, take Leah Clearwater to be your wife?" The tall judge said.

"I do." He said, smiling. He looked into my eyes and I stared back....
