Amanda just smiled and then led Danielle to the yacht. 

"Amanda, what are you doing?" Randall asked, looking at Amanda trying to
sit down on the bed. "I was going to relax...my back is hurting me." 
She replied, picking up a pillow to hold. "Would you rather hold me 
that the pillow?" Randall questioned with a smile. "Are you not busy?" 
She asked, laying the pillow aside. "I'm never too busy when you need 
me." He replied, walking over to the bedside. "Come here." She 
requested, patting the sheets by her. 

He lied down, beside his beloved, and smiled. 

"Feel." She said, putting Randall's hand on her stomach. "That's our
baby." He replied with a smile. "Yes, our baby." She repeated, putting 
her head on Randall's right shoulder. "Are you okay?" He questioned, 
playing with Amanda's hair." Yea, I'm just so happy." She said and 
kissed him. 

He smiled and held Amanda close to him, then fell asleep. 

The next day, Randall's little sister came to see us. 

"Autumn, this is Amanda." Randall introduced with a smile, holding
Amanda's hand/ "Hello." Autumn replied, shifting her weight to the 
other foot. "Hi." Amanda said with a smile. "How far along are you?" 
She asked, looking at Amanda's stomach. "Eight months." Amanda replied, 
resting her own hand on her stomach. "Well, come in." Randall 
suggested, opening the yacht's entrance door. 

Chapter Four 

Three days before Randall and them went back to West Virginia, Amanda
had been hurting more and having worse mood swings than before. 

"I'm going to lie down." Amanda informed, walking down the steps to the
bedroom. "Okay, Angel. I'll be on the dock." Randall said, watching 
Amanda go down the steps 

Amanda lied down for about a half an hour until her water broke and
soaked the sheets. 

"Randall!" She yelled, trying not to move, but no one came, so she tried
about three more times; but still, no one came. 

She decided to get up and go up on deck to find someone. 

"Randall." She called, doubled over in pain. "Amanda." Danielle
answered, coming around the corner; but before she could get t her, 
Amanda passed out by dehydration and heat. “Randall!” Danielle yelled 
in panic, but tried to stay as calm as she could. 

Randall finally saw Amanda passed out in Danielle's arms and ran over to
them. 

"What happened?" Randall questioned with wide eyes and carried Amanda
back down to the bedroom. "She came out of the bedroom and passed 
out...early labor." Danielle explained, walking by Randall's side, 
opening the door. 

After being cooled down, Amanda came to. 

"Amanda, we're not going to make it to the hospital, so I got the yacht
manager instead." Randall informed, holding Amanda's hand. "Okay." She 
agreed, still a little drowsy. "Drink this." Danielle demanded, handing 
Amanda a glass of water. 

Amanda looked around the room, seeing her best friend and her boyfriend,
then the yacht manager. 

"Are you ready?" Randall asked, looking into Amanda's eyes. "Yes." She
replied, holding Randall's hand a little tighter. "Okay." He agreed and 
braced himself for the painful miracle to happen. 

Three hours of labor, a few bruises, and a very hot room later, Amanda
gave birth to her first child. 

"What's his name?" Danielle questioned, sitting on the bedside. "Briston
O'Dell Moore II." Amanda replied with a smile. "Who's the first?" Josh 
asked "My grandfather." Randall said, looking up from his baby boy. 

Chapter Five 

On the last day, Randall and Amanda couldn't be found about fourteen
hours (8am-9pm). 

"Thanks you for dinner, Baby." Amanda said with smile. "You deserve it.'
Randall replied, opening the card door for Amanda. 

"Amanda, can I ask you something?" Randall questioned. "Yes." She
replied, holding his hand. "Let's get married." He suggested, looking 
into her eyes. "Tonight?" She exclaimed "No...right now." He said with 
a huge smile. "Now?" She asked, holding his hand tight. "Yes, right 
now." He replied, looking into her eyes...full of tears. "Um..." She 
hesitated, then stood up. "What?" He questioned "Let's go." She said, 
pulling him up. 

"Where were you two for so long?" Danielle asked, meeting Amanda at the
car with Briston. "Getting married." She replied with a smile. 
"Really?" Danielle exclaimed "Mhmm." She replied, showing Danielle the 
ring
