I sat between Will’s legs as he sat against a wall. His hands on my hips with his fingers moving in little circles. My hair was all over one shoulder and every so often Will would kiss my neck. I was reading the script for our part of the performance. Being unconscious for a week sure did mess up your memory.

It was the last week before Christmas holidays and dress rehearsals were taking place at that moment. The teacher had asked me if I still wanted to go through with it and I didn’t even take a second to answer. Of course I did! Just because I was in the hospital for so long didn’t mean I didn’t want to do the performance. It just meant that I had to relearn some of my lines. I had most of them and the ones that I couldn’t quite get, I could easily improvise to be as close to the real lines as possible.

“How you doing?” Will asked. I rolled my eyes. Don’t get me wrong…I like being back with him but if he doesn’t stop asking me of how I’m doing or feeling then I seriously am going to hurt him.

“For the millionth time…I’m fine.” I said, twisting around to look at him. Bad idea…pain. “Ow.” Will smirked. “Jerk.” I turned my back to him again.

“But it’s funny.” Will said, moving his hands to rest over my stomach and leaning against my back slightly. I looked at him over my shoulder. “You just look so cute all worked up and…ow!!” I pinched him. This time I smirked.

“Alright…next group.” The teacher said. Will got up and pulled me up gently. I put my script down and led him onto the stage.

That night was the first time since I got out of the hospital that Uncle Ethan and Megan actually left me alone in the house. Ok so I wasn’t alone…I had Will with me. I was basically just telling him everything that had happened between me and David since I first met him.

“So you ever think you might want kids one day?” Will asked.

“Yeah…one day.” I said. “I didn’t want to get rid of that one but I couldn’t handle everything. I don’t like the whole abortion thing but I agree there are a few exceptions.”

“Alright…so no kids as of yet.” Will said.

“Do you want kids?” I asked.

“Sure…why not.” Will said. “They’re funny. I can blame things on them.” I shook my head. “Oh…there’s something Rachelle wanted me to tell you. Don’t wanna go into details but it’s something that’s actually got to do with all this and that’s got my dad sorta mad.”

“Ok.” I said.

“I’m gonna be an uncle.” Will said.

“Really?” I asked. Will nodded. “Awww…cool. When?”

“Well…it’s December now.” Will said. I nodded. “And she’s about two or three months.”

“So…” I said. “May or June.”

“Yeah, pretty much.” Will said. I looked at the TV where Batman & Robin was playing. I smiled as Robin was on the screen. I didn’t notice anything from Will until his hand started moving on my thigh. “Are you trying to make me jealous of a movie character?”

“I don’t know. Why?” I asked, looking at him.

“Because if you were…that would mean it was working.” Will said. I giggled as he leaned down and kissed me. After a moment I pressed my lips harder against his, catching both of his by surprise. Lately, whenever he kissed me, I’d usually have weird flashbacks to what David did and freeze up or panic slightly. Most of those times, Will would be really sweet and hug me and say that everything was ok. Once or twice he mentioned the fact that even if David did get out for some reason, the police had already promised to inform us and it was a four hour drive from there to here so we could always be gone before he even got here.

“I’m getting over it.” I muttered, very slightly pulling away.

“That’s good.” Will said. I smiled and leaned back against him, turning my attention back to the movie.

He spent the night. Megan was at a friend’s house for the night and Uncle Ethan wouldn’t be home till later so EVERYONE thought it was a good idea for him to stay with me. I lay awake sometime into the night. Will was fast asleep behind me with his arm around my waist. I just lay there thinking. Not really about anything, but I was awake and there wasn’t much hope of me falling asleep so my mind just wandered.

First it was on David but bounced from that to School, my friends and family and stayed on that topic for a while. It then bounced to Will and the endless possibilities of the future.

So Christmas came. It was a blast! I loved it! I don’t even know how it was managed but I saw everyone on Christmas day. Next semester at school was really annoying but we somehow managed to get through it.

The last day of school…the last day for the next month that we’d all be together. It was kind of sad. It was really sad that next year Mark and Darla wouldn’t be joining us at school. Since Will’s sister wasn’t the only one who had gotten into a bit of trouble.

And Will had the cutest niece! Little Lana was so adorable. Of course there were no looks that matched her to him since Rachelle really wasn’t related to him but she was still his niece.

So Darla was going to have a baby by about October and Mark was going to be working full time at the club in order to give his child everything he thought it deserved.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I’m part of a crazy group of people. Would I want to give it all up? Not for whole entire universe.
