Last night I found out I was pregnant, and with Cole's baby--of all people.

He spent the night but just left to go and open the youth center where he works...with Hanna.

Poor Hanna. I sort of feel sorry for her since she was hoping to start something with Cole, but at the same time, I'm not.

I was jealous as fuck, I won't lie... I still don't know where Cole and I stand though, we haven't talked much.

It's early as shit in the morning, and I decide to go on a run. I need the fresh air before I start my hectic day.

The cold January breeze whips around outside, chilling my bones as I run along the road in my neighborhood. There's no snow on the ground, but with the temperature as freezing as it is, it should be snowing.

Mmmm. The cold air feels fresh and relaxing as it hits me in the face.

There's something about the cold air that takes my nausea away; if I could stay outside all day, I would.

As I jog down the sidewalk I think of the baby that's inside of me; Cole's baby, that's inside

Her Mom is a b*tch! J-E-S-U-S. I’m glad everyone else is excited for them! I think when Scar explains how it happened she should be snarky and be like, “well when a boy part and a girl part….” ......... Just to piss her Mom of more.

Turning, I smile at a sleeping Cole with his mouth wide open, drooling. Ever since the dinner where we told our friends and family, Cole's been staying with me, and we've been doing so well. We still haven't defined our relationship; we didn't want to just date because of the baby, we're seeing how things go.

I love him being here; he's thoughtful, caring, and extremely supportive, not to mention great in bed… Yeah, we've slept together again, numerous times, actually, and as of right now, neither of us is se

We had a nice breakfast Johnny cooked, and now we've split up to get ready for the day on the beautiful California ocean. I slip into a bathing suit and fix my hair, anticipation rapidly rushing through me."Damn! Lookin' sexy, girl!!" Maddie smiles, making me blush. "Thanks, girl, you do too... Trying to impress someone?""Bitch, please, I look good in everything and I have no idea what you're talking about, there's no one to impress.""Yeah, okay, Mads.

    A month later... the end of January*I sit at my desk, my head swirling as a wave of nausea rips through me. I tried to tough it out but it's inevitable. With no time to run to the bathroom, I grab the wastebasket beside my desk and hurl right into it, emptying the contents of my stomach."Ughh."Little beads of sweat form across my forehead as I lean over the trash can one more time."Girl, are you alright in here? I heard you in the hallway."Penny comes in and rushes to the sink, getting me a cold rag to put against my forehead as I slump on top of my desk."Thanks, Penny. I don't know what it is, but I've been feeling like shit lately.""Have you seen your doctor?" She asks, tapping her fingers against her chin."No, I've been swamped with all the things I put off when I took my trip; I haven't had the time.""Well, we do work in a doctor's office, I can run some tests on you, and then you should take the rest of the day off.""Might as well take advantage of it, right?"
