Jaycee woke up a few weeks later and groaned as she got out of bed. She felt awful and she just wanted to sleep. She chalked it up to the studying she'd been doing for finals and dragged herself into the shower. Halloween was coming up and Mike being Mike was throwing one of his over the top parties. She got out of the shower and felt the need to throw up. John heard her in the bathroom and headed to check on her.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he walked into the bathroom.

"Yeah. I think its stress from studying." She said as she brushed her teeth.

"I think you should see the doctor." He said to her. "You were sick yesterday. It might be more than stress."

"I'll go after class. I promise." She said as she walked out of the bathroom to the kitchen. She grabbed some toast and got her things together.

"You will go after class right?" He asked her as he walked in.

"I promise." She kissed him. "Now, I have to get to class and you should too."

He smiled and kissed her again and headed out. He walked down to the car and smiled when he saw Mike leaned up against it waiting. Mike and Natalie had recently gotten married and were expecting their first child. And according to Mike, Natalie had some very weird two am pregnancy cravings. Mike smiled as John approached and took the coffee John offered.

"Rough night?"

"Pregnancy cravings at two am. Just wait until you and Jaycee have kids. You'll see." Mike replied before taking a sip of coffee.

"I think it will be a while before Jaycee and I have kids. Not that I haven't thought about it. Because I have." John smiled. "But I'm sure Jaycee wants to finish school first before she has a baby."

"You never know what will happen. But we should get to school." John nodded and they got into the car and headed to school.

Jaycee went to her classes but started to feel sick mid morning. She knew she had to go to the campus clinic and see what was going on. She headed there after her class.

"What can I do for you today, Ms. Brooks?" The nurse asked when she came into the room.

"I'm been nauseous and tired. A headache. I think it's a stomach bug." Jaycee replied.

"Well, let's take your vital signs and we will go from there." Jaycee nodded as she took her vitals and then drew some blood. "We will test your blood for infection and other diseases including HIV if you agree."

"Of course." Jaycee replied signing the paper. She knew she and John were careful. She was nervous and she text Charlie to meet her there. If there was any bad news, she wanted have someone with her.

Charlie was sitting at the cafe on campus having lunch with Phil. He'd been putting up with flyers for the band's biggest gig to date at a nearby club. They hadn't made any wedding plans yet. They'd talked to their parents and everyone had agreed that it was better to wait until after graduation for them to get married. Charlie's parents as well as Phil's had been surprisingly happy about the news and Charlie's grandparents had been the happiest of all. Her Gram had even thrown them a graduation party and made Phil a Christmas stocking as she had done for all of the members of the family. She made one for Jaycee too.

"So you ready for midterms?" Phil asked.

"I think so. I'm pretty sure I'm going to ace everything. How's band practice?"

"Good. The guys really like it here. And the day jobs are helping pay the bills until we blow up. Plus we all have understanding girls." he said as he leaned over and kissed her. Her cell phone went off.

"It's a message from Jaycee. She wasn't feeling well today so she went to the clinic. She wants me to meet her there. I hate to cut this short but..."

"Go. I've got to get back to work anyway. I'll see you at home tonight for dinner. I love you." She smiled and kissed him again.

"I love you too." Charlie quickly made her way to clinic.

Jaycee sat in the exam room waiting on the test results. The doctor had examined her and didn't think it was the flu. She heard a knock on the door and Charlie walked in.

"What's up?" She asked.

"I have been sick the last few days throwing up and headaches. John insisted I go to the doctor. So here I am."

"Are they running tests?"

"They are. She's checking for infection or anything like that as well as testing me for STD's and HIV. Which we know I don't have."

Charlie nodded as the doctor came in. "I have your results, Jaycee." She looked at Charlie. "And you are?"

"This is Charlie. My brother's fiancée and my boyfriend's sister."

"Alright." The doctor laughed. "Well we have your results. Congratulations. You're pregnant."

"Excuse me?" Jaycee said. "Did you say pregnant? How did that happen?"

"I thought you made an A in Anatomy." Charlie said. "Obviously you and John weren't as careful as you thought."

"I take it this pregnancy wasn't planned?" The doctor asked.

"Unplanned but not unwelcome. I'll take her info and make sure she reads it later." Charlie said seeing that Jaycee was shocked.

"Jaycee, we need to do an ultrasound and see how far along you are."

"Alright." Jaycee said after Charlie shook her. She laid down on the table while the doctor got the ultrasound. She couldn't believe this. She was certain she and John were careful. They always used protection. How could she be pregnant?

"Okay, looks like you are about four weeks. I want to see you in a month for a checkup." The doctor said to her. "Jaycee, I know this is a shock to you. You have some time to think about things and weigh your options."

"Options?" Jaycee asked.

"To have the baby, adoption or abortion. Talk it over with the baby's father and make the best decision for you.

"Thank you doctor." Charlie said to her. She helped Jaycee get dressed. "You okay with this?"

"I don't know yet. I need to talk to John."

"He loves you and he's going to be so happy about this. You're having his baby."

"I hope so." Jaycee said as they walked out. "I will see you at the apartment."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Charlie said hugging her. She watched as Jaycee got into her car and headed home. She sighed. She hoped everything would be okay. She knew how much John loved Jaycee and she seriously doubted that he wouldn't be happy.

Jaycee arrived at the apartment and saw John was already home. She took a breath as she got out of the car and headed up. She walked in and saw John on the sofa watching TV.

"Hey, how did the doctor go?" He asked as he got up and kissed her hello.

"Well, he ran some tests and they know why I've been sick."

"The flu?" He asked.

"No, I'm pregnant." She said suddenly.

John stood there shocked by the news. Pregnant? How did that happen? They were always careful. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. According to the doctor, we conceived the baby the night we were "studying" for my calculus test."

"I thought we were careful." He said as he sat down.

"I thought so too." She said sitting by him. "John, I know this is a lot to deal with. The doctor wanted me to discuss the options with you. And for us to decide what is best for us."

"Options? You mean abortion?"

"Or adoption or keeping the baby. What do you want to do?"

John sat there for a minute. He leaned in and kissed her. "I want us to have this baby and be a family. I love you. Granted this is happening sooner than we had planned but I want a family with you. You are the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with. You want this baby right?"

She smiled and kissed him. "I do. I know it's not how we planned but sometimes the best things in life are unplanned."

He smiled. "We're having a baby." She nodded. "We should tell Phil. He'll flip of he's the last to know."

She laughed. She couldn't believe they were having a baby. It seemed so unreal a part of her was so excited and another part was scared. She wanted a baby but she thought they would be married and out of college before they had one. But they were having one and she really couldn't wait.
