Chapter 1
Maria stood there with a home pregnancy test in her hand. She looked down to it and saw a plus sign. "Great." She said out loud. The tears that were welled up in her eyes fell again. The last thing she wanted was to trap Ben into something. Well she had made decision before she knew for sure and she planned to follow through on that decision. She put the test in a wrapped up plastic bag and headed outside to throw it out. As she opened the door there stood Meg her hand was raised in a position as if she were about to knock on the door. Maria Jumped back a little nervous. "I'm sorry Meg. You caught me on my way out." "That's okay," Meg said smiling. I heard Ben was getting back from Seattle today and I really needed to talk to him. You don't mind if I wait here do you Maria." Meg asked her. "Well honestly Meg Benji and Tess should be back really soon and I don't think it's good for Benji to see you going in and out of here all the time it does confuse him. But I'll write Ben a note that you stopped by and he can call you." Maria said. "Well Maria, I'm planning on moving back in here so it is probably best that Benji get used to the idea." Meg said to her. "What are you talking about, Ben would mention something this important to me." Maria said feeling confused and flustered. "Well I haven't talked to him yet. But we both know that he loves me and the only reason he chose you is because I left. I don't want to live without him Maria. I'm sorry you get hurt but that's how I feel." As the two were arguing Ben had arrived. He was anxious to share the news he learned in Seattle with Maria. He walked in and was shocked to see Meg at his house.
