He licked his lips, his insides twisting uncomfortably. "We--we weren't planning on it. It--we tried to be careful, but it happened..."

"Oh." It clicked with her, and she laid back down in the hospital bed. "So I'm pregnant? With your baby?" It could be worse. She could have woken up with nobody at her bedside.

He swallowed, his eyes sad, his stomach dropping. "No..No, you were...you were pregnant with my baby..."

She glanced at him, the situation sinking in. She didn't say anything for awhile, and instead pulled the covers up and around her. "No wonder you were crying."

He nodded, reaching for her hand again. "I still want to marry you, Erin. That hasn't changed. It won't ever change."

Erin simply nodded, the thought completely lost in her brain. "Do...we still have to? Can't we wait until my memory is back?"

He nodded, squeezing her hand. "Yeah, of course. Of course we'll wait. I--I want you to be happy with me, Erin. I--I wouldn't...I couldn't handle it if you were still thinking about Tristan..."

He sighed, brushing his thumb across her knuckles. "It is. We were finally in a good place, me and you. You--we were gonna move in together."

He desperately wanted to hold her, but didn't want to hurt her. Or worse...scare her. "You will, sweetie. You'll start to feel better and then you will."

When zippy woke up, she noticed David passed out next to her, his head on her stomach. She didn't move, trying hard to place his face. She ran a hand through his curls, feeling her heart flutter. Just for a moment.
