Shannon walked into the park. She walked along the path for a little bit and then sat down on a bench. She had been late for her period so she had taken a pregnency test. It had shown htat she was pregnant, so she went to the doctor to be sure and all that and they had comfirmed it. She couldn't believe it, she didn't want to be pregnant. She was nowhere near ready to be a mom. But she was, and she wasn't going to get an abortion, so she'd have to deal with it. And even though she didn't really want the baby, she would take care of it, and love it. She wouldn't put it through anything her parents had put her through. But what if something happened and she couldn't take proper care of it? She had no idea how to take care of a baby. She just sat there thinking about how she wasn't ready to have a baby, she didn't pay attention to anyone walking by or anything.

Josh was jogging along the trail. His iPod was blasting Flawed Design by Stabilo. He liked the song. He noticed Shannon sitting on the bench alone. He smiled as soon as he saw her. She ahd that effect on him. He took his ear-phones out of his ears and sat down next to her. "Hi Shan. What's up?" he asked.

Shannon looked at Josh and smiled. Hey. Nothing much, you? She said. Well, something was up, but she wasn't going to start out right away by telling Josh she was pregnant, but she would tell him. Sometime.

"Nothing really. Just jogging." he said, a little out of breath. "How come you're here by yourself?" he asked. He ahd never seen Shannon at the park, unless she was with him.

Thats cool. Shannon said. I dunno. I just wanted to go someplace where I could think. She said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Josh asked softly. Usually when people said they needed to think, something was going on. He didn't like when Shannon was upset.

I'm.. I'm pregnant. Shannon said with a sigh. She felt guilty for some reason, like she had betrayed Josh. She didn't know why, it wasn't like they were going out or anything.

Josh just kind of looked at Shannon. "You...no...no you're not. How? How are you pregnant Shannon? You didn't...did you?" he asked, trying to stay calm and rational.

He didn't sound at all calm and rational, but Shannon knew he'd be surprised. Shannon had never told Josh that she was going out with anyone. She and he boyfriend, Jimmy, had been careful though, she couldn't believe that she was pregnant.

"Shannon. How are you pregnant? How? Who is the baby with? I just don't understand." he said, getting a little stressed out.

Shannon sighed. She didn;t want to explain it all. Well.. I've been going out with a guy for a little while now, and I've slept with him a few times, but we were really careful and I can't believe I'm pregnant. She said, blushing.

That hurt Josh a lot. He was madly in love with Shannon and when he tried to kiss her, she freaked. Now, she was dating some random guy who she barely knew and now she was pregnant! Josh didn't say anything.

Shannon knew Jimmy pretty well actually, there was no way that Josh would know that, but she had been friends with him for years. He had helped her through all her problems, except for when her dad had abused her. Jimmy had been living in Toronto then and had had no idea.

Josh was really upset. "Shannon...why would you...how could you do that?" he asked her softly. He felt really betrayed. He knew that they weren't dating but he felt like if Shannon was just using him. He was there for her when she needed him but then she'd turn around and hurt him really badly.

Shannon shrugged her shoulders. She hadn't really done anything that she shouldn't have, but she still felt awful about it, like she had cheated on Josh or something. They weren't going out though.
