Playlist: Thé à la menthe - La Caution.

Tess was muttering to herself as she shoved a bottle of water, some mints, tissues, and hand sanitizer into a bag. Jason had called her up at 9 o'clock on a Sunday morning to tell her to be ready. He wouldn't tell her where they were going though. He had just told her to dress casually, so she had worn jeans, converse and a t-shirt, as casual as she could get.

She picked up her bag and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. As she ate her breakfast, she wondered if this was the big official first date. Jason had refused to reveal anything much about what they were going to be doing and that had left Tess a little worried. She grabbed an apple and went to sit on the front porch to wait for Jason.

She didn't have to wait for long; Jason pulled up in the next ten minutes. She walked up to his car, leaned in and gave him a kiss before walking to the other side to get in.

--

Jason looked extremely excited and some of Tess's nervousness went away as she looked at his happy face.

"So where are we going?" she asked hoping he'd let her know.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out!" Jason said grinning as he reversed the car.

Tess rolled her eyes at this cryptic response. It was so very Jason. She watched as Jason smoothly switched gears and began going down the road. Thank goodness she had brought a scarf and shades. She hated her hair getting mussed and getting dust in her eyes. She tied the scarf around and slipped on the shades.

Feeling slightly exhausted from the morning sickness, Tess leaned back and closed her eyes. In a few minutes she was fast asleep.

Jason turned to Tess, wanting to tell her something but when he saw that she was asleep, he held it back. Instead he smoothed a stray tendril and touched her cheek before retuning his attention to the road.

This past few weeks had been the happiest weeks of Jason's life. He still sometimes couldn't believe that he was with Tess, that she loved him too. Truth be told, he had fallen in love with Tess, the first day he had seen her- actually run into her at a party. She had snapped angrily at him; most people would have just run away rather than be faced with an angry Tess, but for Jason it had been different. Because Jason had seen beyond the anger. He had seen a girl who had been through hard times and who put up a defense because she didn't want to get hurt. Beneath the exterior Tess was just as loving and affectionate as anyone else. It sometimes pained him the way people made such snap judgments about her. But he reasoned that it was their loss, that they missed out on knowing such a wonderful person as Tess.

He drove along humming tunes and whistling. He had a feeling that Tess would love the place they were going. She had once mentioned that she had never been there, and Jason thought it would be an ideal place for their first date.

After an hour of driving Jason reached the place. He got out of the car and went around to Tess' side. He opened the door and smiled at the sight of a sleeping Tess. She really did look angelic. He shook her gently and Tess woke up immediately.

Tess took off her shades and opened her eyes. Jason was standing at her side watching her and smiling. She smiled at him and got out of the car. She put the shades inside and then she took off the scarf and put that inside too. She tied her hair into a pony tail and by that time Jason was done locking the car.

--

She turned around to see where she was and her jaw dropped. Oh. My. God. She was royally screwed.

Jason meanwhile hadn't noticed Tess's expression. Yet.

"We're finally here Tess. I thought this would be the best place for our first date. I remembered how you said you always wanted to go to an amusement park but couldn't go because your mum wouldn't let you. So I thought the amusement park would be a nice place for a memorable first date. Do you like it?" Jason asked turning towards her.

Tess stared at Mickey Mouse's giant head was looming over her.

Jason had brought her to Disneyland. For their first date. Which she wouldn't be able to enjoy because she was pregnant. Which she would have to tell Jason. Which basically meant the shit had hit the fan- nope it had hit the sky. Tess bit down her lip, not knowing how to respond.

Jason noticed Tess's lack of a response and was instantly worried. Did she not like amusement parks? Had he done something wrong? He tried to frantically think back as to what he had done wrong.

"Tess what's wrong?" he asked nervously.

"Nothing, Jason it's just that I can't go to the amusement park." Tess said equally nervous, looking down at her feet. Oh no, the moment she had been dreading was coming close.

"But why?" Jason asked now looking at Tess curiously. She looked nervous and he wondered what was wrong.

"Is it because you are not feeling well? If that's the problem then we can come back tomorrow" Jason said a little disappointed

"No Jason. We can't go tomorrow. And not the day after either." Tess sounded a little tired and also scared. Jason was going to hate her for eternity.

"For what reason Tess? Give me a concrete reason and I'll shut up' Jason said now slightly annoyed by Tess's insistence on not going.

"Because I'm pregnant" Tess said heatedly before clapping her mouth shut. She hadn't meant for it to come out like that.

"What?" Jason said incredulously, not believing what he had just heard. Did Tess just say she was pregnant?

"Because I am pregnant!" Tess said enunciating each word carefully for Jason as if he were a baby.

"Shit" Jason said as he sat down on a nearby bench. Tess followed him worriedly. Here it came. She prepared herself for the avalanche of hate she would receive from Jason.

--

Jason held his head in his hands, not believing what he had just heard. Tess was pregnant. His Tess was pregnant. A sudden doubt assailed his mind. He knew it was offensive to ask because he trusted Tess but he had to ask it anyways.

"Is it mine?" Jason asked softly.

Tess gasped at the question. What did he think she was? Did he not have at least some faith in her?

"I'm not a skank Jason. Its yours. I wouldn't date another person while carrying someone else's child. I do have some morals" Tess said in a tight voice.

Jason sighed in relief. But everything wasn't fine yet.

"When were you planning on telling me?" Jason asked quietly, turning to look at Tess who was sitting next to him.

Tess had the grace to look guilty when Jason asked her the question.

"Soon…" Jason looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

He was a little angry with Tess - a baby on the way was the kind of news which was earth shattering. And Tess hadn't told him. A small part of him bristled. Did she think that he would be an absent father who would have absolutely no time or concern for his child? He knew Tess's father hadn't exactly been a great father to her. And the men in her mother's life hadn't been any different. They'd had no room for children in their lives, seeing them only as burdens. And it would be natural for Tess to assume that all guys would be like that too. But the hint of anger refused to die; he was different from other men and he had taken pains to show Tess that.

And it hurt terribly when she grouped him with the others. He sighed, rubbing his neck tiredly.

"I don't know Jason" Tess said sighing tiredly.

"Why did you wait so long Tess?" Jason asked.

"Because I was scared" Tess said quietly as her eyes began to shine. Jason noted this and sighed once more; he moved closer and wrapped an arm around her.

"What was there to be scared of?"

"I thought you'd leave me. That you'd hate me. That you wouldn't love me anymore…" Tess trailed off whispering as tears began to fall down her cheeks.

"I could never hate you Tess. I love you too much for that. And I don't hate you now, but I am a little annoyed that you didn't tell me earlier" Jason said as he wiped away the tears from Tess' face.

"I'm sorry Jason but honestly how was I supposed to tell you. I couldn't spring it on you just when you came back from tour. And then I couldn't tell you later on because everything was going so well and you were so happy and I didn't want to spoil anything." Tess said in an apologetic manner.

"Well I'm glad I found out now. Because I intend to be a very big part of my baby's life" Jason said smiling widely.

Tess looked up smiling too as she wiped away her tears. Her fears which had seemed so real a few moment s ago now seemed completely unfounded. At the same time it also felt like a big burden had been lifted off her. The guilt of not telling Jason had been eating up at her insides.

--

"How far along are you?" Jason asked Tess as he placed a hand on her stomach.

"9 weeks" Tess said as she placed a hand over Jason's.

"I already missed 9 weeks" Jason said sadly as rested his head on Tess's shoulder.

"The only thing you missed Jason was the morning sickness. And let me tell you honestly, that it is not much fun" Tess said smiling as she tried to make Jason feel better.

"But still I want to be there for everything. Wouldn't it be nice if there were someone to hold your hair back while you were vomiting?" Jason said with sincerity.

Once again Tess began crying. Jason was being so nice and Tess felt even worse because she had kept something so big, so important from him.

"That would be nice Jason" Tess said smiling through her tears.

"Thank goodness that is settled. So...I gonna be a father..." Jason said thoughtfully. Tess nodded her head in confirmation.

"I'm gonna be a father" Jason repeated but this time there was a hint of panic in his voice.

"Jason, it's gonna be alright. Don't worry" Tess said putting an arm around his waist.

Jason smiled and stood up, pulling her up with him.

"I'm gonna be a father" he said once again, happily though this time. He put another arm around Tess and gave a her kiss that made Tess feel like she was going week at the knees.

When Jason finally pulled away, Tess was clinging to him for support. Jason walked with her to the car and deposited her into the passenger seat carefully. He then got into the driver's seat and gave Tess another kiss before starting the vehicle.

As Jason began heading down the road back home, Tess smiled. For now it looked like everything was going to be just fine.

Reviews would be wonderful. :)
