I tried to get ahold of Dina several times, but she made it clear that she wasn't interested. As much as I wanted to believe that we were meant to be together, surely, she had to see that. That wasn’t the case. She didn't want to come back to California. I reminded her about school and finally she told me that she was going to stay home. When I asked her about it, she paused for a moment.

“I don't know how to tell you this John, but I'm pregnant. My plans have dramatically changed all of a sudden and my career will have to wait now.”

It took me a minute to kind of comprehend what was being said to me. I know that I was not having the best response ever, but that was a lot to take on.

“What do you mean you're pregnant?”

“Just what I said. I'm pregnant.”

I waited for her to say more, but I wasn't even sure what I was wanting her to say. What would have made that any better?

“So why are you telling me this?”

“I'm telling you this because it's yours.”

Sarcasm entered her tone and she was miffed. Or maybe it was hormones, I certainly felt like I didn’t deserve it.

“It's mine?”

“Yes, it's yours.”

“What about the other guys that you were dating? Dale and Christian?”

She made a growling sound and again, I knew I had missed the mark.

“I wasn't dating anybody. You know that.”

“You didn’t date them? Are you sure? It seemed like they were following you around like puppies. It had to be for a reason.”

She hung up on me. It was just that simple. I was trying to have a conversation with her, or at least I thought I was, and then the next thing I know, there's a dial tone and I am cursing at the receiver. What the hell did she mean she was pregnant, and it was mine?

I tried to call her back, but she didn't answer, and I knew it was because of my comments about the other men that were trying to get close to her. Especially knowing how much they wanted her.

Truthfully it actually drove me crazy, and now I was thinking there was nothing I could do about it.

Another week went by and I finally bit the bullet and called Jack. I knew I was probably the last person he wanted to talk to, but I needed to know what was going on. Did he know about the pregnancy?

I dialed the number and I was pretty nervous. We hadn't spoken since the fall out that we had, and it surely did not leave a good taste in my mouth. I wanted to believe that we could work through this. He had to understand that I didn't do it to spite him. I did it because I had fallen for his sister. I had fallen for Dina at some point, not even sure when, but I missed her, and I never wanted to be without her again.

“What do you want?”

“I just want to talk to you, Jack.
