Gwen and you have a talk

Almost a week after your run in with the parents, Gwen and you decide to meet up in person. For the past week, you two have texted each other non-stop, most of it being you getting to know each other. You have a lot of similar interests in stuff, but she has some stuff you can’t relate too.

Gwen says you should meet up at Quinnville Place Mall, you agree with some nervousness, because it is very outside your comfort zone.

When you and Gwen are both at the mall, you walk around and go into different stores. Eventually you get kind of tired of walking around and decide to go to the food court.

At the food court, you both decide to get Chick-fil-a. She gets a salad and you get a chicken sandwich. As you start finishing up, she asks the question you’ve been asked many times by now, “so... what are we gonna do?” You stay silent for a few seconds thinking and say “about what?”

Gwen points at her stomach, still flat, but you knew it wouldn’t stay that way. “Oh yeah... that” you laugh awkwardly. “I need you to be real with me... would you really support me through the entire pregnancy?” she asks looking you straight in the eyes. You look down at your food and stay quiet again, this time not saying anything at all.

“Sam... I’m stuck okay? I’m gonna have your baby whether you want it to happen or not, because I would get disowned if I got an abortion” Gwen says in a serious manner. The words “your baby” hit you like a train... “I made a kid” you think to yourself, “what kind of bum would I be if I didn’t provide for her... a fucking loser.”

You look up from your food, feeling a way you never had before, “Gwen, I would run through a brick wall if it meant you’d be happy, don’t worry about the baby... I will be there.”

Gwen smiles and blushes harder than you think you’ve ever seen... even when you were having sex. You feel happy again, seeing her that way made you feel warm inside, now you knew that you loved her and that you would do anything to protect her.

Gwen gets up from across the table and moves next to you. You put your arm around her and pull her closer too you.

“Your Baby”

Those words echo in your mind, you were a man now and there wasn’t a damn thing in the world that was gonna happen to Gwen.
