Dallas smirked and replied, "Adorable." He ruffled her hair and returned his eyes to the road. "Hopefully Aiden won't ask when we return where is the candy and popcorn I said I'd get him." He snickered and cast a glance over at her.

Jasmine smiled and shook her head, she'd never understand how those two came to be best friends. "We have to get him something!" She said, smirking before gently punching him in the arm at his inconsideration.

[mukade]

Dallas smirked. "I know. I'm way ahead of you," He replied with a wink and pointed in the backseat of the truck. He had pointed to a box of sugar-cookies and a case of energy drinks. "Bought them eariler, Aiden requested them but, I forgot about them and obviously he did too," He told her with a smirk, casting a glance at her. Then he remembered what Phoenix had told him and wondered if she had heard. "Hey, Jasmine? Did you hear anything today that might could of- sort of -upset you maybe just the tiniest bit?" He asked, looking away from her at the road once again.

[F e a r l e s s.]

•.Jasmine.•

Jasmine sighed at his question, "Yeah. I heard." She said simply, trying to avoid his eyes as tears welled in her eyes and she looked out the window. She was upset about it, of course, but she didn't want to stir up any trouble, or let her emotions get the best of her. She knew that he just used Pheonix, she knew he was drunk, and she knew that he was just being stupid and was mad. She'd never forget he did it of course, there'd always be that weird feeling every time she looked at Pheonix, knowing that she had taken Dallas from her. She had use him, just as he had used her...

[mukade]

Dallas cast a sideways glance at her, seeing her avoid looking at him and instead looking out the window. He frowned slightly, "You know I'm not going to claim it, right? I mean, if it was you, that'd be a different story. But, this," He paused as he reverted his eyes away from her as he stopped the truck. They were back at Aiden's house. "This wasn't meant to ever happen. I don't want a child or even half of the responsiblity. I doubt Aiden does either," He continued, "Just don't be upset with me. I can't stand it when you're like that." He fell silent, staring at the steering wheel then shut off the engine of the truck as he thought. Glancing over at her, he sighed softly and closed his eyes.

After a moment of a long silence, Dallas spoke after he leaned over and kissed her cheek. "If you are mad at me then I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy again." He stated truthfully and got out of the truck, shutting the door behind him. Putting the keys into his pocket, he looked over his shoulder at her still sitting in the passenger seat. Maybe she needed some time to think and be alone.. He sighed softly and started walking toward the house. Ready for another awkward moment. But, his hopes were that he could go upstairs unnoticed and camp out in Jasmine's room, since he had been staying here he had been sleeping on the couch. Though, he figured it was still occupied by Aiden and possibly Phoenix.

•.Jasmine.•

Jasmine smiled, realizing that he was really sincere about the whole thing. Of course shewouldnt be able to forget it, and of course it was wrong. But she didn't feel like what Dallas was doing was right. She thought about it for a few moments before getting out of the truck and climbing up the stairs. She walked into her bedroom to find Dallas there waiting for her, she smiled and closed the door quietly behind her. "Dallas. I want you to claim the baby. I want you to be there for your son, even if it isn't mine. Hemay have been an accident, but even Pheonix dosent deserve to be alone for this. I'll be there for you too, I'm not sureif she'd like me around her baby much, but I just don't want her to feel alone." She explained to him in a mild, caring tone as she sat down on her bed by him and gently touched his hand.

[mukade]

Dallas sat in silence in Jasmine's room. Staring at the floor beneath his shoes as he sat on the edge of her bed. His eyes were torn away from the floor when the door was shut. He studied Jasmine then watched as she came to sit down beside him on the bed. He sighed and thought about what she said about actually claiming the baby. He looked at her with his dark brown eyes. "You don't get it do you? I don't want to be around Phoenix at all, even if she is pregnant with an accidential child that just happens to be mine," He hesitated before continuing, "For once, I don't want your opinion. Honestly," He didn't mean to sound mean but, he had already made up his mind and it was too late to take back what he had said to Phoenix. He didn't worry though, he was sure Aiden would pitch in and Phoenix had her family too. So, he was pretty sure that she'd be fine without his help.

Crawling further up on the bed and his head collasping onto the pillows. A deep heavy sigh escaped him as he relaxed into the bed. He tilted his head so he could see Jasmine clearly. "I thought you didn't like Phoenix anyway, so why'd you say you don't want her to feel alone?" He asked, putting his hands behind his head and crossing his ankles as he waited for a reasonable reply.

[F e a r l e s s.]

•.Jasmine.•

Jasmine sighed, she knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind of course, but it was worth a shot. "I don't like her. At all. But I know how hard it was on my mom, and no matter how much I dislike her, I just don't wanna see her suffer, although she deserves it of course, because she was asking for it after all... Its just, you know how I am..." She told him, muttering the last part softly as she laid down facefirst into the pillows on the other side of Dallas.

[mukade]

Dallas watched her then chuckled as she muttered the last part. "I do," He replied teasingly then watched as she faceplanted the pillows. He rolled over onto his stomach and put one arm around her. He kissed her neck. "But, even though you're trying to convice me and failing at such a thing, I must say you've recieved a A plus in thoughtfullness," He teased with a smirk. Moving away from her and back to his original spot on his back, he told her, "I don't want this child because I'm patiently waiting for our time to come. I want everything to be with you; our first kid, marriage... everything," He paused and turned his head to look at her, "And, yes, I did say marriage because I do expect us to last forever even past our death," He chuckled and added jokingly, "Deep, I know, but," He paused once again, "You can't judge me just because I love you so."

[F e a r l e s s.]

•.Jasmine.•

Jasmine smiled softly at him, "I love you too. And I want the same." She said softly, looking up at him. She curled up next to him, beaming with happiness. She couldn't believe this! Her mind couldn't even grasp the depth of what he had said, but the fact that he had said it meant the whole world to her.
