Journey was almost hysterical. " I thought she was just going to hand over her kid! Look at me!" Journey paced holding her sore back.

As soon as that woman went back into the ocean Journey had gained about a 7 pound baby inside of her. "Well let's just trying to stay calm." Nick offered, mean while he was shaking inside.

"You're right, I should just go to the hospital and get the baby checked out, right?"

Nick smiled weakly.

"Right."

"Do you want to take my car or yours?"

Nick shoved his hands in his pockets. "Yours, I'd only have enough gas to get home." Nick nodded and helped her too his car.

Nick and Journey climbed in. "Hey Nick..."

"Hmmm?" Nick didn't take his eyes off the road.

"Before we go to the hospital lets stop and get some pickles... I have a major craving."

Nick laughed. "Okay." As they neared a super market Nick changed lanes and pulled in. "Come on, I want to grab some twinkies."

Nick helped her out, her eyes grew wide. "Oh those sound good too." Nick laughed.

As they went in Nick stopped dead in his tracks. "What?" Nick pointed towards a stand of various magazines and newspapers.

"She took care of our careers."

Almost every paper had a big headline, Nick Carter and Journey Smith to have a baby. Engagement undecided! Underneath of it was a picture of the two walking in an airport.

"I... I remember that day." Journey whispered.

"So do I, come on lets just grab your pickles and get out of here."

The two hurried along the aisle desperately trying not to be noticed.

"Oh My God! Danielle!" A girl shrieked through the aisle.

"Oh my God! It's Nick Carter and Journey Smith!" Another yelled. The girls ran up to them.

"Oh my God hello!" A brunette smiled, her braces trimmed with green.

"Hi, hey maybe you can answer a question for us, we haven't been keeping track for too long, do you know how long we have been dating?" Nick asked signing a T-shirt.

"Of course! It's all in the papers. You've been dating since Nick was fourteen and Journey was twelve. Since the night you met at a banquet. And you exchanged promise rings of marriage when Nick was sixteen I think and Journey was fourteen."

A red head freckled faced girl smiled largely. "We are so happy for you"

Journey smiled and took Nick's hand. "Thank you both so much but we really have to go. It's time for our baby's sonogram." Journey smiled at the two girls as they nodded eagerly.

As Nick and Journey walked out of the store, they still hadn't let go of each other's hand. Journey climbed into the car. "Hey I have no recall of having sex. Am I like the next Virgin Mary or something? Am I even a virgin?"

Nick grinned as he started the car. "Only one way to find out."

Nick and Journey drove to the hospital in silence.

As they pulled up Nick didn't move to get out of the car. "Nick aren't you coming?"

Nick smiled. "Yeah." They got out and went to the delivery floor.

"Hello. Do you take walk ins?" Journey asked as she got to the desk.

The chubby Chinese man smiled. "Of course ma'am right this way." Journey took Nick's hand and pulled him along.

Together they looked at the baby monitor. Listen to the heart rate and felt her move. "Nick..." Journey whispered as the man left to get her a pamphlet.

"Yeah." Nick walked over and took her hand. She placed it on her belly.

"It's going to be hard to let her go." Nick kissed her forehead, then her
lips. Their first kiss.

"Nick where is home?" She laughed.

"I'm sure we will find out." And as they climbed into the car, they did. Lying by Nick's seat were pictures of their home and Nick knew from there, where it was.

Nick and Journey had adapted to their new settings within a month or two. The baby still wasn't do for another month. The month they met the lady, she had made Journey only six months pregnant. Journey still didn't know why that was. She and Nick were on their white couch one evening. Her head in his lap
as he stroked her belly. Over the first week of living together, the new memories flooded into their minds. Journey found the answer to her question of being a Virgin, not that it really mattered because in those past two months she and Nick had grown quite fond of each other.

"Do we have to name her Isabelle?" Journey asked suddenly.

"I don't think so, because I hate that name too." Nick laughed.

"I think we should use it as her middle name, just to be safe." Nick agreed and continued watching an MTV interview he had done just a week before.

"Well I like the name Zoe a lot." Nick suggested.

"Zoe Isabelle, That will do." Journey laughed.

"Hey Fancy face, I need to go to the bathroom could you let me up?" Fancy face was the nickname Nick had cursed her with almost two months ago. He says she is beautiful and that the hope floats movie inspired him. Of course he was just kidding with her, but it had stuck.

"Yeah honey." She sat up and leaned against the cushions. When he left Journey turned the mute on the TV. She looked around at the pictures. On the mantle of the fireplace, hanging on the walls, and set on the tables. All of them she remembered, but they weren't real.

"Fancy face, you okay?" Nick asked coming back.

"Yeah fine." She smiled and leaned her head back on his lap. She put her hands over his which were on her growing belly. It made her feel like a real family.

"Nick... I know this is strange and everything, but."

Nick waited... looking down at her pretty bright blue eyes. "But this whole thing, makes me actually like having this... having you.... and I want to know do you love me? I mean really love me?"

Nick pushed some of her hair away from her face. "I've loved you the first day I met you." He kissed her. "At the banquet... Before all the knew memories, before that woman added them."

Journey smiled. "Really?"

Nick nodded. "Really, and after Zoe I want to have more babies with you, real ones... ours."
