Jason and I held each other for what seemed like hours. A million different thoughts were running through my head. How could this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? My mom would be so disappointed in me.

"Hope, sweetie, what are you going to do?" Jason asked me, leading me towards the couch.

I thought for a minute. I could never abort my baby. Adoption? I know it would be nice to see my baby with a loving family, but it's still my baby.

"I have no idea," I whispered, tears falling down my cheeks.

He sighed, "We're going to get through this, no matter what. I promise."

Jason stayed the night, holding me while I cried myself to sleep. My dad woke us up the next morning. I was thankful it was Sunday and we weren't missing any school.

"Hope hunny, Mel and I want to talk to you after breakfast," my dad said quietly.

Jason looked at me and smiled tentatively before getting up and stretching. Somehow in the middle of the night he lost his shirt. I for one do not care, his chest is amazing.

"Hope, babe, stop ogling me and get up," he smirked.

I blushed and stood up and hurried into the bathroom. The pregnancy test was still on the counter, haunting me. I quickly threw it out. I knew I needed to make a doctor's appointment, just in case it was a false positive.

I showered quickly before heading down to breakfast. I had no idea what Mel and my dad would want to talk about.

I quietly walked down the stairs, as to not alert anyone. I saw the three most important people in my life sitting around the table, eating quietly.

"Dad?" I said quietly.

He smiled tiredly, "Eat some breakfast and then we'll talk."

I sat, "No thanks, I'm not really hungry."

Jason looked at me, "You need to eat something, for the baby."

At that moment it hit me. There could be a life inside me; something depending on me for food, and nourishment. I'm not old enough to handle this.

I ate a piece of toast to appease everyone.

Mel cleared the plates while my dad sat and stared at the wall.

"Mr. Anderson?" Jason asked.

"Yeah Jason?" he said quietly.

"Are you going to stare at the wall all morning because Hope and I should study for midterms," Jason reminded him.

"Right, Hope yesterday I was talking to the GM and he asked me if I wanted to continue playing and if not he offered me a coaching job," he explained. "I decided I was getting way too old to play and with everything going on with you, and Mel and I getting engaged, I decided to take the coaching job."

I was shocked. He just laid so much on me. A smile tugged at my lips, "Back up, you and Mel are engaged? When did this happen?!"

Mel smiled from the counter, "Well actually it happened that weekend. The one you were…um…well you know."

My dad half smiled, "That's why I didn't come home."

I jumped out of my seat and went to hug Mel, "This is so exciting, when is it? Oh don't have it soon, I don't want to be fat in all the pictures!"

Jason congratulated my dad and got up and hugged Melanie as well. I rushed over to my dad and hugged him tightly.

"Mom would be happy!" I said quietly in his ear.

"I sure hope so. I know your mother also wouldn't be mad at you for this whole thing. It was not your fault. Hell, if anything she'd probably be shopping for baby stuff already," He told me.

I smiled and sat back down at the table. When my dad told me that, I felt like now everything would be okay. I can handle whatever life throws at me, as long as I have my dad, Mel and Jason. Especially Jason. Let's hope he still feels the same way in about 8 months.
