Ethan couldn't believe this. How could this have happened? Okay so obviously he knew how but he had thought that she was on the pill and they were usually protected and such. Apparently it hadn't worked though. He heard her as she spoke some more, complaining about his reaction but he just merely stared at her. Unable to speak. It was surprising that he hadn't forgotten how to breathe. However who knew what was gonna happen next. That forgetting to breathe might still show up. Continuing to sit on the bed as Corrie phoned room service again he moved back a bit. Pulling his feet up a bit he switched his position so he was sitting Indian style on her bed now, using his hands to prop up his head as thoughts kept flashing through his mind. Corrie was pregnant. She was going to be a mother. He was going to be a father! Was he even ready for this? His birthday had just passed and now that he was coming to realize it more this was probably one of the best presents ever. It was totally unexpected but underneath the shock he was suddenly full of happiness. Although he was full of many emotions right now, "I should have known.. I should have realized it or something" Eth finally said after Corrie had told him that she had known for two months, "But still.. this is.. it's amazing"[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/center]

He didn’t understand. This was permanent. This was going to change their lives for good. It wasn’t something that would just come and go, their kid was there to stay and Corrie wasn’t keeping the option of adoption in mind at all. She knew that Ethan had a say in this too, but if he wanted her to give him or her up for adoption she wasn’t going to consider. But knowing him, he wasn’t going to give up his own child for adoption. “You don’t understand. I graduated a couple months ago. I’m nineteen and I’m knocked up. I would barely call this amazing because amazing isn’t the word for it.” She replied, looking him dead in the eye.

Eth listened as she spoke and even though he hadn't seemed that happy about it at first she seemed even more negative then he had. Her facts were true but still shouldn't this be considered a happy time? Things were gonna be hard. They were going to be incredibly hard but as long as they stayed together they would make it through. Things would be okay in the end. He was scared now, he'd admit that. Her fear must be greater than his though as she was the one carrying the baby now and would have to end up giving birth. "But Cor, you're going to be a mom." He answered as he looked back at her. That had to mean something. She was going to bring a baby girl or boy into this world. It was hard to wrap your mind around it but it had to be a good thing. Sure the timing wasn't the best. This should happen later on in life, but it hadn't. It was happening now and oddly enough he was trying to make himself think positively about this situation. "and you have me. I'm gonna be there and try my best to help with what ever you need"[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/center]

He was right, there would be a few exciting things about being a mom. But at the moment she was more scared than excited, eventually she would be ready to be excited and be happy, just not now. This was all new to her still and she just needed to get used to the fact that this was real and it was happening. Plus, like Ethan had later mentioned, she had him. She wouldn’t have to go through this alone he would be there for her when she needed it the most. At this point the situation didn’t seem hard, her baby bump was slightly visible, but not entirely and now that this was all out in the open she didn’t have that much to worry about. “I know, I know. But still! Is it a bad thing to be scared? Because I’m guessing if anybody else found out about this I’d be considered a slut. I’m not a slut am I?” She asked, hoping his answer was no.

"I sure hope it's alright to be scared.. because I basically forgot how to breathe a few minutes ago" Ethan said finally showing a soft smile as he looked up at her. Being scared right now was most likely just a natural reaction. He couldn't imagine any one finding out that they were going to be having a baby and being chill as that was going on. In his mind that was impossible. Hearing her next comment he immediately shook his head. "Noo, you're not a slut. Hun don't even think that" He said, she shouldn't let those thoughts come into her mind. Most likely people would be happy for her, in theory. Her friends would definitely be happy plus if anyone said anything bad about her after this no doubt Ashley would hunt them down and give them a beating. Speaking of Ashley, her being Corrie's best friend, she was going to freak out when she found out about this. That would be quite the sight. Eth wondered what Chad would think, he was beginning to wonder what everyone would say when they end up finding out. While many thoughts were continuing to rush through his mind he heard a knock on the door which snapped him back into reality, "I think your feast has arrived" He said, talking about the cakes and smoothie that she had ordered.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/center]

Corrie laughed at what he said. Ok, so maybe she was right, he was almost as scared as she was. But who wouldn't be? At nineteen, they just finished high school and were freshman's at the University of Albuquerque. The two were in for one of the biggest moments in their lives and they just barely started their own. The girl turned her attention back to Ethan, when he replied to her about not being a slut. She sighed in relief. "Ok, good. Because I'd attack you if you said I was." Corrie said, jokingly, but considering how moody she was Cor could attack him if she wanted to. Once she heard the door knock she immediately forgot what she was doing and opened up the door. The waiter walked in with her tray of food, then set it on the table that Corrie had directed him to. "Mmmmm." She said, tilted her head. "Did I really order TWO pieces of cake?" Corrie pushed one of the plates foward and looked over at Ethan. "Do you want it?" She asked, hoping that he would take it. Cor didn't want to waste another piece of food.

Hearing her laugh made his soft smile turn into a slightly larger one. It felt like a long time since he had actually heard her laugh. He had missed it. Things were going to be fine. The experiences that they were going to have would definitely be difficult because after all, no one has ever said that life was going to be easy. They were in college so school work would be a problem. But that was kinda the last thing to worry about really. Actual work would be a bigger problem. Eth has had a steady job at the music store located at the mall, it was good pay but the money he earned from that wouldn't be near enough now. He would have to help support Corrie more now so possibly in the future he'd have to get another job. Not to mention he was going to worry more over her too. Spending more time with her was a definite as he'd want to be at her every beck and call in case she ever needed something. "Yeah I wouldn't doubt that" He said also joking, kind of. Eth sat quietly while she got the food from the waiter and listened as she spoke. He got up and went over to get the piece of cake that she was offering him. "Sure, I'm always up for some cake" He couldn't help but laugh though just because he had some flash backs from the cake war that had taken place on the first day of the vacation.

Ok, so maybe that part of her was really, really small, but still. She wouldn't take it back anymore. Now that she knew for that everything would be alright, Corrie knew that there wasn’t much she could do but hope for the best. The idea of her future came into mind. Obviously her dancing career was over, which was probably the biggest downer she could think of. She could try dancing again, but it would just be a complete mess. There was a chance of starting over once more after she had the baby, but that would mean she was putting her wants over her own child. Corrie would never do that, especially since she wasn’t the only one who had to make a few sacrifices. When they got back home, Corrie would have to get a job and get everything else planned out from when their baby was born. Before the trip, the brunette cut through the baby aisle at the grocery store to see all of the things that a baby needed and Corrie was in awe when she found out everything that was essential. She picked up a spoon and took a bite of her cake, then passed the other plate of cake to Ethan. “I knew you would be.” Cor heard his laugh and looked at him, a tad bit confused. “What’s so funny, tell me!..” She was curious to know what was making him laugh. “Pleasee? I gave you that cake.”

So even though Ethan was able to talk and breathe for sure now this whole situation was still very shocking. After leaving from his visit with Gabriella and Ryan to come up and talk with her, to see why she had been so off lately well this was something that he had never expected. It did make sense to him now but still, when considering different things that would make her act this way her being pregnant had never crossed his mind. Now it would probably never leave his mind, most likely he'll end up thinking about it all of the time until she ends up giving birth. Considering that thought he began to wonder, what would the baby end up being? Would it be a boy or a girl? Not that it mattered because he was going to be happy either way. Still though, it was something to wonder about. After Eth took the cake from Corrie he heard her voice and laughed a little bit more at her confusion, "Well.. you know how I have that secret wild side?.. it kinda came out again" He began, "The first day that we arrived here Chad and I went on a mission. That mission involved stealing a bunch of cakes from the kitchen... it ended in a cake war" He answered, laughing once more at the thought before he finally brought a spoonful of the cake up to his mouth, taking his first bite.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/center]

Basically all he had to do was support her and that was it. He could still play around and get crazy every once in a while like he did the other day with the cake war they just had. But while he was having fun, like what the trip was meant to be about, Corrie was stuck in her bed stuffing herself with food and watching tv. It was tough giving up fun like that, but she was able to handle it. Obviously her laziness was at an all time high right now and as the months progressed she would be surprised if would be able to walk afterward. Her stomach would be huge and she couldn’t even imagine how much weight she’d gain by then. All of these questions that she had were going to be answered soon, but Corrie didn’t dare ask anybody, especially her parents. Even after two months Corrie hadn’t even mentioned the situation to her mom and her step-dad. She was just scared to hear their reaction. There were only two people who knew now: Kaitlin and Ethan. Cor didn’t even want to tell Kaitlin at first, but considering they were dorm mates and Kaitlin was an incredibly good guesser, she basically had to. Plus she had to bribe her to keep that little secret to herself and knowing Kaitlin she would either tell everybody or keep her mouth shut. Corrie hoped she was choosing the second option. The girl took another bite out of her cake and looked up at Ethan. “Aw. You should’ve told me about it earlier!” She said and laughed, “I would’ve loved to watch that.”
