POV: Sydney

For the past 7 weeks I have had the same dream and everytime I woke up crying and screaming in somebody's arms. Whether it be Sam or Cameron.

I was starting to show. I had already been to a couple of doctor's appointments made by Cameron.

I was grateful to Nash for telling Cam.... I don't think I would've been able to do it.

And Cam was strangely supportive.

He wasn't angry with me at all.

He went to all of the appointments and paid for them.

Him and Sam usually did.

The doctor told me that when we hit about 16 weeks we will be able to see if it is a boy or a girl. The baby's due date is supposed to be sometime in May of next year, but it's hard to say for certain.

I can honestly say I'm excited.

Fall break has come and gone. Sam and I have been doing our online school either at one of our houses or the boys' apartment.

Soon it will be New Years, but most importantly Sam is officially 16 on the 15 of December, which is this week! Yay!

She'll finally be the same age as me!

Nash has something special planned for her I'm sure.

"Sydney, pay attention." I felt an elbow dig into my rib as Sam growled at me.

We were currently doing our online courses and taking Spanish.

"What?" I asked smiling at her.

"Um we're in the middle of school and your zoning out!" She hissed before going back to paying attention to the lesson. She takes this stuff too seriously...

"Sorry.." I muttered before trying to pay attention. It wasn't working.

After we had gotten all of our lessons done we went outside and lay on the trampoline weirdly.

I sighed as I looked up at the sky.

"I wish it could always be like this. Just us two, no baby, no rapist, no boys, no court dates, etc. It was so much simpler before all this crap." Sam whispered wretchedly.

I didn't want to admit it, but it was true.

If I had never have made that Skype call.

If I had just hung up once I figured out it wasn't Sam.

If I hadn't of continued talking to Cameron.

There's a lot of ifs... but it's too late now. The damage is done.

"Sydney think out loud. It's awkward when I just assume I know what your thinking." Sam stated shivering from the chilly weather.

Yes, it's December and we are laying in a snow filled trampoline.

That is completely normal.

"I was just thinking how our lives would be right now if we didn't know Nash and Cameron." I murmured closing my eyes and allowing the cold to surround me.

"Honestly, I wouldn't know because I don't even remember watching these people on Vine, but I'm assuming you wouldn't be pregnant and you've probably gone over all the other bad things in your head already." She stated laying her hands on her stomach. "Not to mention I would still have all of my memories."

I flinched at the reminder of the accident. I had almost forgotten.

Almost.

I sighed and nodded my head, tears threatening to spill over.

"But then again there are some good things that have come from it." She stated, craning her head to look at me.

"Oh? Like what?" I laughed, unconvinced.

"Well we are no longer single Pringles! No matter how unrelated Pringles and singles are... And you are so much happier than I've seen you in a long time." She added smiling at me. "I may not remember the last year, but I remember when I met you and you were not the happiest person on earth, but now you literally look like your glowing." She laughed still grinning, but this time at the sky. "Must be the pregnancy..." She muttered and I burst into a fit of laughter.

"Must be.." I got out in between gasps.

As our laughter died down Sam continued.

"And you know... I don't need my old memories to make new ones.." She trailed off and I heard her sniffle as she fought off tears.

"Don't cry. Do not cry or I swear to God I will smack you in the face because if you cry then I'll cry and then we'll just be a mess." I stated through clenched teeth, fighting off my own tears.

"I- I'm n-not c-crying." She stuttered as she sniffed again an took a deep breath. "What I'm trying to get out is that even though everything seems hopeless, something good can be plucked from it." She stated tightly, then added as an after thought, "The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow if you will. In other words, it may be really hard on the journey, but if you stay on your own path then there might just be something amazing after all of it." Sam sighed, content with her speech.

I didn't know what to say.

I wasn't sure if she was right though.

How could something this bad ever turn out good?

"Don't question it too much Sydney. It's easier just to be happy. For right now, concentrate on being happy with Cameron and having me here for you." She stated softly. "And I am here for you Sydney. For the baby and beyond that." She sighed as she closed her eyes.

"Good because I hate children." I joked trying to lighten the mood.

Sam burst out laughing, "Dude me tooo! We've always said how much we don't like children and here you are having one at 16."

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Shut up, you know it wasn't my fault." I sighed putting my hands on my round stomach.

"I know that." She whispered, her lips in a firm line as if she was angry. "Believe me, when I find out who did this to you. I will kill them, or at least hold them down while Cam beats the pulp out of them." She stated tightly.

"And me too!" A masculine voice came from behind us and we turned to see Nash bounding through the snow towards us.

It was funny because his leg is kinda still hurt and he limps a little while running.

"Nashhhh!" Sam squeaked grinning like an idiot. She had gotten up on her knees and sat up with her arms out, ready for a hug.

"Sammmm!" Nash yelled back smiling as he scooped her up, pecked her on the lips, and spun her around causing her fiery hair to fly out. He set her down quickly and kissed her again, this time a little longer.

I cleared my throat awkwardly.

Sam pulled away looking embarrassed, but Nash just grinned still.

"Sydneyyyy!" He drawled as he hugged me.

"Hey! Watch the stomach!" I squeaked when I felt pressure on the delicate bump.

Nash immediately looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry! Is he she okay?" He asked worried that he had hurt it.

I smiled reassuring at him.

"It's fine, I just got scared." I explained as I sat on the side of the trampoline.

"Meanwhile, how did you find us?" Sam asked Nash curiously.

"Well I went to your house first, but your mom said you were at Sydney's. Then Sydney's mom said you guys were here sooo ya." He finished smirking as he walked up to Sam.

Sam grabbed his hands and held them in front of her.

"Aw you didn't have to do that you know." She sighed, but still smiled at him.

"I did actually. I cannot leave you unattended or you could end up like Sydney." He said softly quickly looking to me, "No offense Syd..."

I sighed, I hated that nick name.

I shrugged "It's fine. 'S not like it isn't true." I stated softly.

Nash nodded sympathetically then looked to Sam, whom he was still holding frozen hands with.

"Your hands are absolutely freezing. You guys need to go inside and warm up." He directed sternly then looked to me. "I'm sure it's no good for the baby." He pointe out.

"But-" Sam started to protest and looked up at Nash with her greenish eyes pleadingly, but he cut her off.

"No buts about it young lady. I will make you guys hot chocolate and that is final." He stated sternly, trying to refrain from smiling.

I couldn't help but giggle.

Nash being serious was the funniest thing I swear.

Nonetheless we nodded and obeyed.

Sam and Nash helped me hop down from the trampoline carefully.

Then we all started trudging towards the house.

Sam and Nash walked ahead of me, hand in hand.

Nash suddenly pulled Sam to his side and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, to try and get her warm no doubt, but I couldn't help but think how cute they were.

I wondered whether me and Cameron were ever cute like that together.

Will we still be cute when we have a kid?
