Chapter 6

Marti walked over to the bench and grabbed her water bottle taking a long gulp of it, enjoying the cold liquid go down her throat. She was glad that she was back cheering. After Julians accident she didn't want to leave his side until he was better enough to look after himself with out any problems. She had taken a few days off and now she was back cheering with the Hellcats and couldn't be happier. Just then she saw Lewis walk up to her. She hadn't really talked to him much since se and Julian had announced their engagement and Lewis and shown his distaste in the idea of Marti marrying her law professor

"Hey Marti" he said as he walked over.

"Hey Lewis, how's it been going" She said as she turned to put her water bottle down.

"Me? I'm good."

"That's good, how are things with you and Alice" She asked.

"Things with me and Alice are going great"

"That's good yeah"

"So umm I wanted to talk to you about something" He said shiftly slightly uncomfertably

"Ok shoot" She was interested to know what he wanted to talk about.

"It's about you marrying Julian"

"Umm okay look Lewis I know your not happy about that but..." Lewis cut her off before she could continue.

"No no no. That's not it at all. Well I just wanted to ask you something question. I am only looking out for you, you know?"

Marti smiled "Yeah I know and thanks. So what's are your questions"

"Does he make you happy" Lewis asked.

With out even so much as a hesitation she answered thequestion "Yes"

"Do you love him"

Again without hesitation she answered "Yes"

Lewis smiled at her "Well then that's good enough for time you see him please send my apologies for the way I acted earlier. Congratulations."

Marti smiled back at him "Thanks Lewis that means a lot and don't worry I will." With that Lewis turned away and left Marti standing alone at the bench. She picked up her stuff and headed to the showers.

Juian had now been out of the hosital for a little over a week. Marti was now walking into the Cheertown dorms. She needed to talk to Savannah. She had droped Julian off at home earlier that day after they had gone back to the hospital for a check up appointement. She walked in and headed straight for her and Savannah's room. She opened the door and Marti saw Savannah sitting in her bed reading No Logo. Savannah looked up when she heard he door open. "Hey Marti, what's up?" Marti smiled back at her the best she could. "Can I talk to you for a sec about something?" Savannah nodded. "Sure you can talk to me about anything." Marti took a deep breathe before she said anything. "I'm pregnant." Savannah's smile grew even wider. "Oh my gosh Marti that's great! Why do you look so sad?" Marti was quick to correct Savannah. "I'm not sad at all. I'm just nervous."

Savannah looked at her curiously "What are you nervous about?"

Marti sigh and sat down on the bed beside Savannah "I'm only 23 and Julians already 40, I don't know if he wants a kid. And if he leaves because it's to much for him to handle I don't know if I could handle being a single mother."

Savannah frowned a little bit. But she knew where Marti was coming from. At first it was hard for Charlotte to be a single mother but after the first few months it became easier for her to look after Joseph by herself. She couldn't imagine Julian leaving Marti though. "Marti Julians not going to leave you. He'll be happy to have a kid. Both of you are going to be great parents."

Marti smiled "Thanks Savannah. When do you think I should tell him"

"I don't know Marti, I think you should tell him whenever your ready. But I will keep your secret until you decide to tell him"

Marti smiled. "Thanks Savannah, I'll tell him tonight."

Marti was working on her laptop when Julian walked in briefcase in hand. He took off his shoes, put down his briefcase and walked over to Marti giving her a small kiss on the lips. Marti smiled. "How'd court go today?" Julian hung up his jacket in the closet. "Good, we got Ethan's sentence reduced to 5 years. So he'll be out by the time is 30 and he'll be able to see his son grow up." Marti took this opportunity to bring up the subjects of kids and what Julian thought of them.

"That's great. What do you think about kids?" Julian was a little stunned by this question. He hadn't really thought about it much. "I don't really know why?" Marti tried searching his face for some kind of tell about what he was thinking. But she couldn't find anything that would give anything away. "Maybe you should sit down for this."

Julian was slightly worried. He wondered what was so important. Marti seem very distant and he had never seen her like this. Marti took his hand and led him over to the couch and motioned for him to sit down. "Marti what's wrong" Marti started pacing, she was so nervous and she didn't know how Julian was going to take it. She just hoped he wouldn't freak out. She took a deep breathe. "I'm pregnant."

Julian looked at Marti with a blank stair for what seemed like an eternity. All of a sudden a smile broke onto his face, he jumped up and pulled Marti into a tight hug. He pulled back and cupped her face and looked into her yes. "That is the best news I've ever heard." Marti let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Really?"

"Yes. I couldn't imagine anything better. When did you find out? How far along are you? Have you seen the doctor yet?" Marti chuckled at Julian. She was so happy that he had taken it so well. "Yesterday, I took a home pregnancy test. A few weeks. Not yet. I wanted to tell you first." Marti and Julian smiled at each other. Julian gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Marti knew Julian was excited but she needed to make sure that this is what he wanted.

"Are you sure your okay with this."

Julian looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

Marti walked away from Julian and started pacing to give her something to do. "It's just I don't want you to think your okay with this and then when the baby does come you relize that it's to much for you. I don't know if I could do the whole single mother thing if you left."

"I'm not going to leave you or the baby. I will love him or her with all my heart an I will do anything for him or her."

Marti smiled at him. "Thanks, that means a lot. But we only have one other prolem to figure out." Julian looked at her slightly confused. "What's our other problem." Marti looked at him. "How are we going to tell my mother." Julian and Marti both laughed. Suddenly Julian picked her up and made the way up to their bedroom.
