I try to nicely kick everyone out when James looks over at me and grins, "Actually I was thinking maybe we could spend the night. We could set up blankets out here and tell ghost stories."

Jenna looks at Maggie excited, "Maggie that sounds like fun. PLEASE!"

Maggie looks at me and I sigh, "Yeah sounds awesome."

Except for the fact that I need my wife now or I might die.

Maggie smiles at me and I can't help but lean down and kiss her.

"I love you." I whisper.

She smiles, "I love you too."

Ten minutes later we have hunted down every last blanket in the apartment and have them laid out on the floor.

Maggie sits between my legs, and next to her is James and Sky. Then Demitri and Westley, Jenny and Liam, and at the very end is Jenna and Andrew.

I trial my fingers across Maggies stomach and she rests against my chest.

"Alright let's tell ghost stories now!" Jenna says excitedly.

Everyone agrees.

After a few minutes though we all realize how truly awful we are at telling horror stories and give up. Instead playing truth or dare.

"Jenna, truth or dare?" Demitri asks.

"How many people have you slept with?"

Jenna blushes, "I dunno, you want me to sit here and count?"

Demitri laughs nodding his head, Andrew grins. "Say their names too I'd love too know."

She blushes and quickly peaks at Jake, "Okay, um well first it was Andrew. Then Jimmy my history partner in the 10th grade. Allen in the 11th grade, we were partners on a feild trip and we got trapped in a elevator for 5 hours. Scott, in the 11th grade after a concert." She peaks up at Jake a few times during all of this, "then in the 12th grade there was Greg, Paul, Howard, and Chris." She had counted them all of on her fingers, "So nine."

I also kept track and she only said eight names.

She smiles and looks at Jenny, "Truth or dare?"

Jenny smiles, "Truth."

"Same question."

She looks at her hands, "Two."

Liam freezes beside her. James looks over at her and his eyes narrow.

Liam gives a forced smile, "We'll be right back."

Jenna gives a apologetic look, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was going to cause any problems." She says after Liam and Jenny leave the room.

I half heartedly smile at her, "Don't worry about it."

"Um I guess I'll ask another question." She says looking around the circle.

"James truth or dare?"

Two? My mind tries to wrap around that.

I always thought she'd only slept with me.

Two means more then one and that means more then just me.

I pull her down the hall and into a empty room.

Jenny looks at the ground, "Are you mad?"

I grab her chin and make her look at me, "No, Jenny I'm not mad. I just.. why didn't you tell me?"

She shakes her head, "I was afraid you'd be mad."

I shake my head, "Well I'm not. Just.. can I know who it was?"

She looks away from me. "You have to promise to not beat him up or anything."

I almost laugh at this, "No I won't. I'm just curious that's all."

"Promise?"

I nod my head, "Promise."

She sighs, "Jordan."

Jordan?

She doesn't mean.. She can't mean..

"Jordan Jordan?"

She nods, "Yeah."

I shake my head to clear it, "Your best friend Jordan?"

She turns away from me covering her face, "I knew you'd be mad."

I walk around so I can face her. I pull her hands from her face holding them in my own.

"I'm not mad. I can't be mad; I mean after I slept with all those people. I just.. you knew about them. I wish you had told me. I'm also shocked because you know.. you slept with Jordan.."

She shakes her head, "It sort of just happened. We hadn't planned it or anything. We weren't dating. My parents were out of town so he came over to spend the night. We watched a movie and then we played truth or dare. He dared me to kiss him and one thing led to another. Soon he was carrying me upstairs and then we were having sex. It all just happened so fast."

I shake my head, "Football player Jordan?" I ask her.

She nods her head, "Yeah why is that so hard to believe?"

"It's just that.. you know he's slept with half the cheerleaders, and then you.. your just so much better then that."

She looks at me angrily, "What so does that make me a slut? That I slept with Jordan?"

I shake my head, "No, I just never imagined that you would just sleep with anyone. I always thought you would only sleep with someone you really cared about."

"I do care about him. He's my best friend."

"No I don't mean like in that way."

She glares at me, "If it makes you feel any better he's still trying to get me to go on a date with him."

She turns to leave the room and I grab her arm, "No that doesn't make me feel better. I want you to tell him you're with me now." I say softening my tone. "I don't want to fight with you. I'm not mad that you slept with someone I'm just surprised that's all. I love you."

She looks up at me and sighs, "I love you too."

I lean down and kiss her.

When I pull away she looks around the room and then she looks surprised, "Is this a nursery?"

I look around, "Yeah."

She walks over and picks up a stuffed animal, "She's pregnant? Is that why they got married?"

I shake my head, "No, and if they heard you say that they'd probably never talk to you again," I laugh, "Jake always planned on marrying her."

She touches the edge of the crib, "Poor James."

I look over at her, "What?"

She sighs, "James loves her, it must be bad enough that she's married. But pregnant."

"What do you mean?"

"Well you love me right? What if I got married to someone else but I was pregnant when it happened? You would always wonder what would have happened if I hadn't gotten pregnant."
