Jo's new apartment

Jo wakes up after the first fully restful night she has had in a long time. She stretches and checks her phone. After checking the time she notices what date it is. She throws the cover off her legs in a hurry and runs to the calendar hanging up on her wall. "Oh God this can't be right" Jo thinks to herself catching herself on her dresser before she falls in disbelief. She steadies herself with a couple of deep breaths and texts a short message to Logan. "We need to talk."

She goes to the bathroom to get herself ready for a big talk with Logan. She puts a small amount of makeup on and straightens her hair. She puts on a cute pink shirt and tight, dark blue jeans. She checks herself in the mirror and thinks to herself "well I suppose I may as well look good for Logan because I'm pretty sure this is the last time he will ever want to see me."

At the Palm Woods

Logan gets Jo's message and is rightly worried by the tone of it. Usually she sends a heart or an I love you with her message. Logan texts back meet me at the Palm Woods. He lies on his bed waiting nervously for Jo to show up so they can talk. He glances at the clock wishing the minutes would not tick by so agonizingly slow and that Jo would let him know that everything was alright. He is startled out of his private contemplation by the door opening and Jo standing in the door way.

She doesn't say a word or move a muscle; she just stands there not looking at Logan. Logan gets up off his bed and closes the gap to where Jo is standing. He wraps his arms around her but hesitantly pulls back when Jo doesn't return his embrace. "Babe what's wrong?" Logan asks with concern in his voice and his eyes. "I'm always here for you Jo, no matter what."

Jo steps inside Logan's room and he shuts the door behind her. As soon as the door clicks shut Jo starts crying uncontrollably. Logan's eyes go extremely wide and he pulls her in a close embrace rubbing her neck and keeping a hand on the small of her back. He knows that Jo will let him know what is going on when the time is right.

Jo finally starts to cry herself out and looks up at Logan. "Thanks for being here for me all the time Logan, but now I'm going to have to ask you to not interrupt me." Jo takes a deep breath before she continues, "you are amazing and I never want anything to come between us. And that is why this is so hard. Logan….I'm pregnant." Jo plows on despite being on the verge of tears again "I know you probably hate me now and want to leave me. I understand if you never want to see me again." Jo looks at Logan who is reeling from the news.

"First off, I love you with all my heart and soul Jo Taylor and nothing is ever going to change that. You are my amazing soulmate and it is going to take a hell of a lot more than that to get me to leave you" Logan says with sincerity. "I'm going to be right here beside you every step of the way. But how did this happen? I thought you were on the pill" Logan finishes bewildered.

"I am but I got a UTI and was prescribed an antibiotic. The antibiotic made the pill useless, I am so sorry Logan please forgive me I never meant for anything like this to ever happen. I am so scared Logan" Jo says pulling Logan close to her wishing that this was all a bad dream.

"Does anybody else know?" Logan asks trying to plot their course of action. He wonders if she wants to keep it because he knows he wants to.

"No just you Logan, I thought you should know first" Jo says sniffling a little. "I don't want to have an abortion. I want to have this baby because it is something we created. But I want to talk it over with you before we make a final decision on anything."

"I want this baby as well Jo. I think that we will be able to handle it. I was going to give this to you later but I think now is a very appropriate time to give it to you." Logan says getting down on one knee and pulling a ring out of his pocket. "You make me so happy Jo will you make me even happier. Will you marry me?"

Jo doesn't say anything she starts crying and grabs on to Logan for support. "I take that is a yes?" Logan asks climbing to his feet. Jo nods in agreement because she is so happy. "can I put the ring on your finger now?" Logan asks as he takes Jo's left hand in his and slides the ring on her finger. "I love you."

"I love you too Logan." Jo says as she kisses him passionately.
