I’m not
suspended right now, but I’m under investigation by the school board.”
    She took a deep breath and grabbed
onto my wrists, the laughter finally disappeared and her face grew serious.
“Chase, you didn’t do anything wrong, you and I both know that. She probably
just got mad that you weren’t returning the flirting, even though you’re her
teacher and it’s highly inappropriate. The truth will come out in the end. We
just have to believe that.” She leaned up and kissed each corner of my mouth
before pulling back and placing a hand on my cheek.
    “For now, maybe you should start
wearing a paper bag to school, with your sexy face covered up they won’t want
to flirt as much.” A laugh escaped between her lips before I gently tackled her
down to the bed and pinned her arms above her head. “I’m glad you find this so
funny.”
    “You have to admit it is, just a
little,” she breathed out. The towel slipped from my waist as I adjusted my
body above her, and her eyes dropped down. “Yeah, I don’t think the whole paper
bag thing will work. You need like a full body suit made out of paper bags if
you want the girls to leave you alone.”
    “Mmhm,” I murmured against her
neck. I arched my hips into her and she let out a gasp, the laughter finally
dying down. Serves her right.

    It was finally here, graduation
day. I couldn’t believe that the time had passed so quickly. The semester had
flown by between studying, work, Caleb, and getting used to the idea of being
pregnant. When I went to the doctor, they confirmed my pregnancy and had told
me that I was newly pregnant at four weeks.
    After the next couple of
appointments, we finally got to see the baby on the ultrasound and I think that
was when it really sank in, I was going to be a mom. I mean, I knew for all
intents and purposes I was already a mom to Caleb, but it was so weird to think
I had this little human growing inside of me.
     Chase handled me like a delicate
flower and wanted me to quit working at Gino’s right away, but I put my foot
down. We needed the extra money, and after I graduated who knew when I would
put my degree to use. Who wanted to hire someone when they were almost five
months pregnant?
    “You look so cute, look at your
little baby belly.” Ally stood back and looked at me in the deep blue dress
that she had helped pick out. “And now we have to go and make it all ugly with this
bag.” She tossed me my graduation gown and I carefully pulled it over my hair.
    “I don’t know, she still manages to
even make that look pretty sexy.” I smiled when I turned to see Chase standing
in the doorway, his hands latched at the top of the doorway, just giving me the
briefest glimpse of his hard stomach. My pregnancy so far had been pretty uneventful;
the one thing that I really noticed is that I constantly wanted Chase…like
constantly.
    “Uh-oh Chase, she’s giving you
those eyes, you need to get out of here now.” Ally pointed towards the door
with a stern look on her face and Chase backed up reluctantly. “Don’t even
think about following him, me and you need some alone time before I leave
tomorrow.”
    Ugh, she just had to bring that up.
I thought maybe me being pregnant would change her mind about going on tour
with the band, but it didn’t. She promised to catch a flight back the minute I
started having contractions, but it wouldn’t be the same and Remy was leaving
too. Now I would just be stuck with a bunch of boys.
    “So, are you excited? I talked to
Remy earlier and she was practically bouncing off the walls. You’re pretty calm
about the whole thing. What gives?”
    “I don’t know,” I shrugged my
shoulders and picked at the hem of the hideous gown I had on. “I am excited, I
just feel like it’s not such a big deal because I’m not going to go out and
find a job right away like I planned to.”
    “I know honey, but you have Chase
now and you know he loves to take care of you and
