Chapter 5

Sam sat on a bale of hay in the barn. She was still fuming after the conversation she had with Quinn and Nate. Jake put his arm around her as she glared at the empty stall in front of her.

"I can't believe them," she said leaning into Jake.

"But it's just like them to do that," he said pulling her tight to him.

"To bet how long it would take you to propose, when we'd have sex, get pregnant?" Sam said shaking her head.

Jake moved one of Sam's crutches so that he could move her to his lap. Sam put her head in the base of Jake's neck. His head then rest on top of hers.

"I still think that they have other bets going on or that they have done about us, but don't want to admit it," she said.

"Just be glad that the rest of the family don't know 'bout their bets," Jake said kissing the top of Sam's head. "By the way, it didn't seem like Jen was all that surprised about us…well you know."

"That's because I told her about it."

"You what?"

"Come on Jake," Sam said sitting up to look him in the eyes. "I had to console to someone before we did it for the first time."

Jake just stared her down. Sam then her eyes as she leaned back into him.

"I needed to talk to someone about it, I mean I couldn't exactly go to Gram or Brynna. Even though I felt like I was ready to give it away to you I felt like I had to talk to someone to be sure. And once I did talk to Jen and get everything that I felt we needed I couldn't have been more happy for the night to come," she said into his chest. "And it's not as if you didn't tell Darrell."

"How'd you…Jen."

"They have been dating for about three years, you really think Darrell could keep his mouth shut to Jen once he knew?"

"So, you want to get married in May?" Jake asked changing the subject.

"If you'll still have me," Sam said kissing him.

"Brat, I will always have you," he said before pushing her down on the hay and deepening the kiss.

They stayed in the barn kissing for what felt like hours to them when Sam heard someone yell her name. Sam groaned as Jake got off of her and pulled her up. Aunt Sue opened the door to the barn before she quickly shut it behind her.

"I still can't get used to this weather," Aunt Sue said hugging her jacket closer to her body. "It's freezing out here."

"What's so important that you came out here to talk to me?" Sam asked as she noticed Jake start to rub the back of his neck.

"I'll go start some tea or something for ya in the house," Jake said as he practically ran out of the barn.

When Jake shut the barn door behind him Aunt Sue sat down next to Sam.

"So about this morning—" Aunt Sue started but got interrupted by Sam's moan.

"Aunt Sue, you do not need to give me the talk," Sam whined kicking her good leg out. "We have everything under control."

"Okay…okay," she replied with her hands up. "As your aunt I just had to make sure."

"Alright," Sam said grabbing her crutches.

"I'm so happy for you two getting married though."

"Thanks."

"So can I assume that we will be planning the wedding while we're in San Francisco?" Aunt Sue asked.

"Yep, and probably a more expensive phone bill."

"Well at least we will be at the same place since you're living with me."

"Have I ever told you that you're the best aunt for letting me live with you while I got to college to save money?" Sam asked as they started to leave the barn.

"Yeah, but it would be nice to hear that more often," Aunt Sue laughed.

"You're the best and coolest aunt in the world, now give me a hug," Sam said holding one arm out as she used the other to keep her balance on the crutch.

Aunt Sue shook her head as she gave Sam a hug.

"I can't believe you're getting married."
