Love.

Lucy was in love.

Lucy was in love with her boyfriend, Noah.

They had been together for so damn long now and Lucy felt like every day was the first day that the pair had been together. They had been together for almost two years now, but Lucy still got the butterflies in her stomach every time that Noah said her name, kissed her, danced with her, or anything else that they had done together.

Noah and Lucy hadn't ever had sex though. Even though they had been together for so long, Noah hadn't ever pressured Lucy into sleeping with him. Ever.

Tonight was thee night though.

Lucy was going to lead Noah up to his bedroom and lock the door behind her. She was going to take off her shirt, push Noah to the bed, then start kissing him. She was going to straddle his waist and whisper in his ear that she was all his that night.

It was almost the end of the summer and it was recently that the eventually high school sweethearts had told that Noah wasn't able to have children. It of course was something that neither of the two wanted to hear, but it was something that they were going to have to work through.

For some reason, that information hadn't been told to Noah the previous year when the pair had been tested when they had been thinking about having sex. Though, even though they were both clean, the pair had decided to wait. It was just going to mean that much more to them both.

Though, since tonight was the annual back to school party that normally Fin threw at his house, Lucy felt that it was going to be even more special. This year, Noah was having the party at his house. That meant that Lucy could seduce her boyfriend in his own bed.

---

During the middle of the party, Lucy told Noah that she needed to run up to his bedroom for something and that she'd be back in a few minutes.

Lucy almost lived at Noah's house, the same with him at her house. When they weren't busy with choir or football, the pair were together.

After looking for a condom in her bag, Lucy then texted Noah and asked him to come up to his room, because there was someone upstairs that had gone into his room and wouldn't leave.

The male was upstairs quicker than Lucy could blink. Probably because he thought that she was in trouble or something.

Once Noah had dashed into his bedroom, Lucy slammed the door shut behind him and locked the doorknob so that they wouldn't be interrupted.

"I thought it was going to take you all afternoon to get up here," Lucy said, turning to face her boyfriend.

"I don't think that anyone is going to miss us," she said to him, tossing the condom in her hand at him.

Walking over to him now, Lucy stood in front of Noah and walked him backwards until his knees hit the side of his bed and forced him to sit down onto it. Once he was sitting down, Lucy looked at him with a sort of teasing look in her eyes.

Pulling the shirt over her head, Lucy tossed it to the floor and looked at her boyfriend. "I'm ready," the blond girl said to her much taller boyfriend, just as she straddled his waist and pushed him backwards so that he was laying down on his bed.

xox

It had been almost four weeks into the school year when Lucy got the awful news of their mistake.

She was pregnant.

How was that even possible? Noah was told that he wasn't even able to have kids.

Even after the condom broke, the pair of in love teens hadn't really thought anything of it, just because of what the doctor had said.

Now that Lucy had found out that she was pregnant, only the day before, she was avoiding her boyfriend at school. When he had texted her, asking where she had been, she said that she had been caught up in her classes, because she had been helping out a new student. By the time that lunch had rolled around and Lucy had known that the juniors and seniors had lunch together, she wasn't going to be able to avoid Noah for much longer. She just had to make it through the next hour and then she'd be able to breathe a little bit better again.

All throughout lunch, Noah kept asking his girlfriend what was wrong with her, but Lucy said she hadn't slept well the night before and blamed it on having a bad headache and stomachache, since she and Tori had gotten into a fight.

Of course it wasn't true, but Lucy just needed to make it to the end of the day and then back to her house to take another pregnancy test in front of Noah for him to believe her.

Once the end of the day had rolled around, Lucy texted Noah and told him to meet her at her house and that they needed to talk. She should have phrased it better, yes, but she just needed him to show up.

While Lucy dashed to her car in the student parking lot, she left way before Noah and his group of friends, who always seemed to take their time at the end of the day. She drove off to the store and bought a second and third pregnancy test and then drove home.

The girl stashed the tests in her purse, then grabbed Noah, who was just arriving at her house and headed inside.

The pair greeted the Sinclair matriarch and patriarch, then went upstairs to Lucy's room.

The pair had been trusted alone in Lucy's room, because Lucy had sworn to her parents that she was going to stay a virgin until she was married. Her parents actually believed Lucy, because she had a good head on her shoulders.

Climbing the stairs to Lucy's room, the petite blond pushed her boyfriend to her bed and shut the door behind them.

"They're going to be positive, Noah," she said, emptying the contents of her purse onto her bed, both pregnancy tests that she had just purchased, falling out as well.

Once the tests were on her bed, Lucy looked at Noah. "What did we do?"

Then the tears started.

[noah christopher james]

Noah had never felt about anyone the way he felt about Lucy. His football friends had even made fun of him for being so attached her, calling her, texting her, the whole bit between practices and after practices and even during practice when there was a break. He always wanted to know how she was doing and loved to tell her how much he loved her and missed her. It had been two years of that and Noah wasn't even sick of it like most guys would have been. Yes you could call him a lovesick puppy but he wanted to be with Lucy forever. She made him so happy and worried and nervous and upset all in the right moments. They weren't perfect and they had had their share of fights but they loved each other and like Lucy would tell Noah in those negative moments "love conquers all".

Love was what the two had. They certainly had a physical attraction to each other and had on many occasions made out for a long time but nothing more. Noah knew his body wanted more, as most teenage guys do but he would never think about asking Lucy to do anything like that. Asking her would be like trying to pressure her and Noah wanted their first time to be special. He wanted it to mean something to both of them. He also didn't want them to become reliant on it for the sake of their relationship. He saw some of his friends going around and sleeping with every girl, using their status as a football player as their argument but it only ended up in meaningless sex and heartache for the girls. Noah knew from a young age that he didn't want to be like that.

Recently Noah had gone to the doctor's for the school physical. In that visit the doctors informed him that he wasn't going to be able to create children. That news absolutely killed him for the fact that he wanted a family with Lucy eventually. Now that wasn't going to be true unless they had Lucy artificially inseminated or have a surrogate. Noah couldn't stand either of those options. If and when he and Lucy became a family he wanted it to be a real family.

--------

Noah and Fin had been talking about the back to school bash since the previous year had ended. This year they decided Noah was going to have it at his house. His house wasn't as big as the Banks residence but it was still a decent size to host a party. He was so excited to have it at his place that the moment school ended him and Lucy headed there to start cleaning up and locking doors that behind which were rooms that were off limits to the party-goers.

In the middle of the party, Lucy said she had to get something from his bedroom. He smiled and gave his girlfriend and quick peck as she ran off to go upstairs. Noah turned to continue talking with his friends. A few moments later he got a text from Lucy asking him to come upstairs. He gave his friends a nudge and walked towards the stairs. Whoever was in his room was going to get a swift kick in the ass. His room was supposed to be off limits. Someone must have broken his lock which of course made him even angrier to think of it like that.

When he stormed in and saw no one but Lucy, he got a little confused. "What's going on?" he asked as she closed the door behind him and locked in. Noah's eyes got slightly bigger then a grin appeared on his face hearing her next words. "Oh?" he laughed lightly and gave a bigger grin as his girlfriend. She put her hands on him and walked him backwards. He almost fell onto the bed but regained his balance and sat down on it, looking up at Lucy. She was so sexy right now.

Noah watched as she pulled off her shirt, exposing her soft skin. He looked at her and she straddled his lap and pushed him down so he was laying down. She wasn't being rough but she was making him extremely horny. The next words that left her lips made him tingle. She was ready. For this. For the one thing they had both saved themselves for. Noah held Lucy as she leaned down on top of him.

~~~~~~~~~~

It had been four weeks, a whole month since school started. Time was flying by this semester even though every football practice seemed to drag on. After that night at the party, Noah and Lucy had been, if possible, even more inseparable. They had both decided not to have sex again until they were truly ready but that moment of physical connection made their relationship so much stronger. Noah couldn't stand that they both had separate lives to tend to. He wanted them to have one life and that's why he had planned on proposing to her very soon. He had asked all authorities that would be involved, i.e. her parents and his. He was going about this very traditional because both the Sinclairs and James families were traditional families.

Today Lucy had been busy as heck and not really responding to Noah's texts. He figured that she was being an awesome A student like always because it was the start of the school year. The beginning of the school year had been always Lucy's most dreaded time of year. Noah would watch her and allow her to fumble a bit before he stepped in and became mister macho boyfriend, there to pick her up off her feet and wipe her tears of frustration.

Today had been totally different. Noah felt like Lucy had been avoiding him a bit and he didn't understand why. Not like she would tell him until they were in person anyways. Lunch was right around the corner and because the upperclassmen shared a lunch period Noah and Lucy were going to have to see each other. When Noah saw her he immediately walked up to her and asked what was wrong. She said she was tired. Throughout the lunch period Noah continued to question Lucy. He could tell there was more wrong but when she continued to tell him that she was just really tired from not getting a lot of sleep the previous night, he let it go.

By the end of the day, Noah had only seen Lucy twice throughout the school day. He didn't even get to see her when he went out to the parking lot with his friends. She usually waited around for him since the football players were notorious for taking forever to leave the school if there was no practice. He got slightly upset, worrying about her so after saying goodbye to everyone he hopped in his car and drove over to Lucy's place.

As he pulled in and got out, Lucy grabbed him by the hand and rushed him into the house. He didn't know what was going on but when Lucy's parents greeted them, Lucy slowed down a bit to properly say hello to her parents as Noah did the same. Then Lucy walked Noah briskly upstairs and pushed him into her room. She locked the door, which made him think of the night they had sex. Was she going to want it again? What about the promise they made? Noah was very confused.

As he opened his mouth to ask what was going on, Lucy told him they'd be positive. "What's going to be positive?" he asked completely dumbfounded. Lucy then poured the contents of her purse out on her bed and that's when Noah's eyes saw them. Pregnancy tests. Noah stared at them for a moment until he heard Lucy ask what they had done and started to cry.

"No, no, no," Noah said as he got up and immediately wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "Lucy, baby, please don't cry," he said, shushing her softly and running his hand down her blond hair, comforting her. Holding her in his arms, Noah looked around. How could this have happened. How was it even possible? He wasn't supposed to be able to make babies. Even when the condom broke they didn't stop because they figured it wouldn't make a difference. Apparently it did.

Noah just held onto his crying girlfriend. "You know what we did?" he asked, pulling back lightly, hands on her shoulders so that he could look into her eyes. A hand came up and wiped her tears gently. "We created a human being. A child," he said, trying to calm her. "I love you Lucy. And this baby, is OURS and we're going to be a family. I will not let you go nor will I let OUR child go," he said to her, emphasizing the word our. Noah looked at her and gave a smile, leaning down to kiss her lips lightly.

As Lucy crawled on top of her boyfriend, she could see the need for her in his eyes. All boys seemed to have that look. Although, the look that Noah had given her wasn't like the other boys. It didn't have that look that he was going to leave her after the act.

That's why Lucy was willing to go even further with this.

---

Laying next to her boyfriend, clad in just a sheet, Lucy couldn't have been any happier.

"I love you, Noah," the petite girl said to her boyfriend, her hand resting against his chest.

Hearing a knocking at the door, then a familiar voice on the other side, Lucy quickly clapped her hand over Noah's mouth. She then whispered, "Do not answer him."

The voice on the other side of the door was that of Noah's best friend, Finley Banks.

Continuing to whisper, Lucy looked at her boyfriend. "I know that you're probably going to tell him and the rest of the guys. It's what boys do, but I don't need him to know at this very moment," she said. "If we're quiet, he'll just walk away and probably try to find my sister."

---

When the couple left Noah's bedroom, both fully clothed and looked over so it hadn't looked like they had just had sex, Lucy kissed her boyfriend and went off to find her sister.

This was big news.

After searching for nearly fifteen minutes, Lucy sort of gave up. Not only could she not find her big sister to spill her guts about everything, Lucy now had to find her boyfriend.

Crossing the house was much easier said than done. While she was doing so, a fight had broken out and Lucy was just trying to get away from all of the commotion that was currently going on in one of the rooms.

It looked as if some girl had slept with some guy, but apparently, another guy wasn't too happy about it. Lucy was so thankful that she and Noah didn't have any sort of relation to that situation.

It had always just been the two of them.

It always would be.

As Lucy walked past the open doorway, she soon felt a body hit her and she slammed into the wall of the hallway.

Falling to the ground, Lucy's body now ached.

Badly.

Eventually picking herself up, Lucy looked to the two boys that had hit into her. She had the devil in her eyes now. They might as well have killed the president.

Lucy was like a princess. Noah would do anything for her. Not only that, but since Noah was the team quarterback, the rest of the guys on the team had his back if anyone had hurt precious little Lucy.

Walking the rest of the way down the hall, the boys tried to apologize to her, but Lucy just lifted her hand to them and kept walking. She wasn't going to hear anything that they had to say to her. She'd just let Noah or even Fin deal with it. Although, she'd have to treat lightly with Fin, since he was pretty much the property of her big sister.

Finally making her way across the house and finding Noah, Lucy just held onto him. She didn't want to be near anyone else, especially since her abdomen ached now. Though, being slammed against a wall would do that to any girl of her tiny structure.

"Hey," Lucy said to her boyfriend and his group of friends that surrounded him. "Protect me," she said.

xox

Once Lucy and Noah had entered the house and talked with her parents for a few minutes, Lucy started twiddling her fingers. Her mother must have picked that up from her, so she told the two to go upstairs and study.

Once they had been upstairs and Lucy confronted Noah about the pregnancy tests and that they were going to be positive, she started crying.

Almost as soon as the tears had started, Noah was right there to comfort his girlfriend.

"I can't help it. Our lives are ruined, Noah," Lucy said. "I'm never going to get into college, you're not going to be able to play football anymore. This is just completely ruining everything," the pretty blonde spoke of her worries.

Then Noah went on to explain how things would be okay.

His hand wiped away her tears away as he explained that things would be fine for them and between them.

"You promise?" Lucy questioned, after Noah explained that he wasn't leaving her or their baby.

Lucy knew how to do things by the book, not on instinct, for the most part. Then it hit her. How was she going to tell her big sister? How was she supposed to tell her parents that she and Noah were just going to be another statistic? This was going to crush her mother, because she wanted both of her daughters to go to Ivy League schools and get the best of things in life before anything really tied them down.

Shedding a few more tears, Lucy looked up to meet Noah's tender kiss.

"How are we supposed to tell Tori and Fin?" Lucy questioned. Noah and Fin were like brothers, so she knew that Noah would probably spill the news to Fin sooner or later.

[noah christopher james]

Noah laid in bed next to Lucy only clad in sheets. His arm around her body, holding her close to him. The smell of her hair played into his nose like a sweet melody. Nothing could change how much he loved what they had just done and what they were doing now. Noah kissed Lucy's forehead lightly, letting his lips linger on her skin as she said she loved him. "I love you t-" was all Noah could get out before Lucy clapsed her hand over his mouth telling him not to answer his best friend who was on the other side of the door.

Noah nodded at her in compliance. He understood why Lucy wanted him to stay quiet but this was a huge moment for both of them. Noah was bound to slip up and tell Fin because well they were best friends. Noah watched as Lucy quietly got up out of bed, her naked body glistening and glowing. She was beautiful and sexy all rolled into one. He watched as she got dressed, gave him a quick kiss and went to leave the room. Noah quickly got up and got himself figured out and left the room shortly after her.

It was only a moment later that Noah heard a thud. Not knowing it was Lucy, he still rushed to the area which the noise came from. This was his house, his party. He wasn't about to let stupid fights ruin the entire night for everyone. As he rushed down the hall, moving people out of his way, he saw Lucy standing up from the ground. An open door on the side of her, showed two guys fighting and arguing, spitting nasty words at each other. "HEY!" Noah yelled extremely loud so that everyone stopped what they were doing. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" he yelled as he grabbed them each by the collar of their preppy boy shirts and dragged them out of the room. "Get out," he demanded of them as he looked and saw Lucy walking away.

He met up with her and she clinged on to him, telling him to protect her. "Always," she said, putting his arm around her shoulder tightly and kissing the top of her head. Noah looked to the group of his friends that had gathered around them to start chatting. All he had to do was nod and look at Lucy. The guys knew what that meant. They were to be on the lookout for anyone harming Lucy or even Tori as Tori was as well known with the guys for being around Fin so much as Lucy was for being with Noah.

~~~~~~~~~~

Noah held Lucy. "Yes I promise," he told her, holding so that he could look directly into her beautiful eyes. "Our child is going to the most spoiled thing on the planet with us as parents," he said with a chuckle, looking to see if he could make her smile.

Pushing some loose hair out of her face, Noah kissed her forehead and took her hand in his. He lead her over to the bed and sat her down on his lap. He held onto her waist and nuzzled his head into her chest. "You're so soft and warm," he said, and looked up at her winking, knowing that she knew what he meant by that.

He looked up and instead of a smile lasting, he saw tears. "What?" he asked and she answered with a question of her own. Fin and Tori. They were the most important people, besides from parents, in the couple's life. "We don't have to tell them right away. We can wait a bit," he said, thinking that maybe telling Fin first would be bad since the kid had a rep for not keeping secrets of any sort. "Fin has a big mouth so maybe we should tell Tori first," he offered.
