Chapter Sixty-seven

�So, Jess what�s been bugging you?� Aaron asked once they were alone. Caden had gotten a ride home with A.J. and Erica decided to stay with Nick at the Hotel.

�It�s a little complicated.� Jess propped the seat back a few inches so she could rest.

They drove along in silence until Aaron turned on the road toward the airport instead of the hotel. �What are you doing Carter?�

�Well, you technically don�t have to work tomorrow since you work for yourself and I don�t think you�ve been properly introduced to my folks yet.�

�So you decided we would fly to Los Angeles tonight without telling anyone?�

�I left a message at the house.� Aaron smiled at her.

Jess simply shook her head and wrapped Aaron�s coat around her attempting to get a little bit of rest before they got to the airport.

Jess stood next to Aaron as he paid for the first class tickets. �I�ve never flown first class,� she whispered.

�It�s nice. Do you want to get a bite to eat before we board? We have some time.�

�Sure.�

As they sat down in the airport restaurant Jess smiled at Aaron, �All I want is cheese sticks.�

�Okay, but you�ve been spending way too much time with Shorty.� He quickly ordered and returned.

�Speaking of Shorty�� Jess paused as their order was set on the table.

�What Jessie?� Aaron took her hand.

�Well, I don�t know if I should tell.�

�Come on Jessie, you know I�ll find out sooner or later.�

�She�s pregnant again.� Jess quickly shoved a cheese stick into her mouth.

�Are you serious?�

�She didn�t actually say it but she took the test and came out of the bathroom beaming. She couldn�t stop smiling the rest of the day and she kept rubbing her belly.�

�She must be thrilled.�

�Yeah, I�m sure she is.� Jess finished her food and stole one of Aaron�s chips.

�I want kids.� Aaron stated after awhile of silence. �Maybe not immediately� but I think I�d be a good daddy.�

�Of course you would. That�s actually got something to do with what I need to talk to you about.�

�What? Do you not want to try the pill?�

�No, I�m going to try it. What I need to talk about I kinda didn�t want to say in a place this public.�

�Oh, okay.� Aaron glanced at his watch and stood up, �It�s time to go.�

Jess wrapped her arm around his waist as they walked to the terminal. �Girls are confusing.� Aaron smiled.

�Yes, but boys are stupid,� Jess gently kissed him.
