"Nicole?"
"hmmph"
"I want to ask you something important" "Will...uhh...will you marry me?"
"What?" I don't know if it was that I didn't hear him, or I didn't want to hear him, but everything that happened that night, came at me all at once, and I realised what had happened.
"Michael, I-I I can't" I said at last. I left the warmness of his chest. "Michael, I'm sorry, it was just a stupid mistake" I said as I was frantically trying to find my boots and quickly get changed. "You don't love him"
"What?? Of course I love him, I'm engaged to him"
"Then why were you here with me, instead of at home with him?" "Michael, it's just not possible, you shouldn't be here, things weren't meant to turn out this way!" I said starting to get frustrated with myself, because of what I'd done, and what I'd done to Jake. I suppose it's true, you never get over your first love. But that couldn't be true, millions of people would have gotten over them, they wouldn't get engaged to another guy, then sleep with their first love, stringing them both along. I was so angry with myself for doing it.
"Nicole!??!?"
"What??!?"
"You're doing it again" I stared at him blankly "That thing when you zone out, and block out everything that's around you"
"Oh shut-up, I have to go" I was less than nice to Michael, and I regret it. "Hey where've you been?" Jake asked with a puzzled look on his face as I ran and jumped his in arms. He wasn't expecting it and nearly dropped me. "Where've you been?" I had two seconds to make up my mind to tell him the truth, or make up a convincing lie. And I took the easy way out.
"I bumped into...my dad at the grocery store, he needed some help with the animals and the horses, then we were playing board games and it got too late so I stayed the night in my old room" I wished that's what happened. "Oh alright." was all he said, there was no more questions he just accepted that's what happened. And kissed me. However as soon as Jake left for work, I went and told Abbey everything. She was shocked at what had happened.
"It was just a stupid mistake, wedding jitters" I tried to convince her and myself.
"So Michael knows it's over?" I thought for a moment...did he? Did I tell him that it was? But I nodded in agreement to Abbey's question.
"Well that settles it then, just don't tell Jake about it, he doesn't need to know, I don't think he'd handle it well"

 4 weeks had past without me telling Jake, I didn't regret not telling him. But as I closed the toilet seat and sat down on it's cold hard surface, trying to deal with the nausiating feeling in the pit of my stomach and looking at the 3 positive pregnancy tests, I knew it wasn't long before he found out. "Hey are you alright?" he asked so concerned.
"I'm fine, I think I've just got a bit of food poisoning, I don't think chinese food agrees with me" I told him trying not to throw up again all over his shoes.

 "We don't have to go to the caterer's today, we can put it off for another day if you're not feeling well"
"We can't put it off, we need to get everything organized, our weddings only 3 weeks away, I'll go brush my teeth and we can be on our way" "Hey!" Abbey came bursting through the door.
"Hey..." I muttered trying to wake up from my short nap. "Sorry the caterer's was really exhausting, how was lunch?" "Oh it was great! Tom is such a great guy!" she said starting to daydream.
"Why don't you invite him over for dinner? So we can meet him?" she hesitated for a minute.
"Sure, when?"
"Tonight?"
"I'll call him and ask him" she said happily and skipped to grab the phone, then skipped off to her room. As soon as Abbey closed her door, the doorbell rang, I slowly rose from the couch, still feeling a little queasy. I thought Jake would be at the door, but as I neared it the thought occured to me, 'why would Jake ring the doorbell?' then there was a quick thought to who else it might be, and that thought was confirmed when I saw him. He came in and immediately kissed me, I got lost in the moment for a few seconds and kissed him back. "Michael--- Michael I can't" I said and pushed him away, trying to fight back the tears. "It's not right" I said at last.
"What's not right is you being with him, I know you still love me" I was at a loss for words.
"Tell me you don't love me then" he pushed. I knew what I had to say, to finally end it, I knew it would be hard but I couldn't imagine how hard is was.
"Michael...I-I don't love you" The look on his face, when I finished saying that, was unbearable, but I thought it was the right thing to do at the time. I started to walk off hoping he'd take the hint and leave. But then the stupid pregnancy hormones must've kicked in and I just burst into tears. Michael came over to console me.
"Just--Just go Michael" I tried to tell him, whilst he comforted me. I was so mean to him and yet here he was still by my side, I couldn't beleive it, I couldn't understand it. "Michael....I'm pregnant" I blurted out and he took a step back, I tried to see his reaction through the blurry vision of my tears. I can't explain his reaction, maybe he didn't understand what I was telling him. "Michael....it's yours" I don't think I could have gotten more clearer than that. I had no idea what I was going to do now. I can't beleive that I'd just told him. I was going to tell Michael that what happened was over and that it could never be again, and I would marry Jake, and he would think that it was his baby, and we'd all live happily ever after. But then I told Michael the truth.

 I was about to start crying again when Michael wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. I didn't want to let go of him, but I knew what I was doing and what I'd done would kill Jake, and that's what finally made me let him go.

 "What's going to happen now?" Michael finally broke the silence.
"I don't know."
