Lorelei looks into Ledger's eyes as the rain drops off his face and her eyes soften and gives her comfort to tell him, she's thinking on how to start.
"Whenever your ready, am always here
"Ledger, my parents are marrying me off to rich man's son" this shocks him.
"Why?" he asks with sorrow in his eyes and a tear escapes but she can't see it, she sighs
"My asthma has gotten worse, I have a few weeks to live so to get treatment my parents accepted a rich man's offer to marry his son"
"Lorelei" he says shocked which makes her break down into tears and Ledger senses it, he takes her to the shelter and hugs her tight.
"Am sorry to hear about your asthma Lorelei" not minding about the marriage part. As for the son of the wealthy man, he seemed not interested in marrying her having an affair with his secret lover. Turning back to Lorelei and Ledger at the bus park bench.
"I have nothing to do Ledger, am soon dying having no choice"
"I am going to marry you instead"
"But Ledger the treatment costs a lot of money"
"I don't care as long as am with you Lorelei Adams" this make her smile and hugs him tighter to get warmth from the coldness.
"Is this way you run into the rain" as she started shaking
"Yeah, so I can feel the rain drop on my skin before I die"
"Your not gonna die Lorelei" she smiles takes her to his place and make love.
Three weeks to Lorelei's marriage with Sam but on the second week she suddenly falls sick when she heads to the hospital for treatment she's shocked by the results. As she's on the hospital bed when the doctor walks in.
"So doctor what's wrong with me?" she asks
"Well, Miss Adams, am here to inform you that your in good health, your asthma is reducing"
"But?" she asks
"But your pregnant" this shocks Lorelei and leaves her speechless
"Miss Adams, are you ok?" the doctor asks snapping her back to reality.
"Yes, thank you doc" she says and leaves.
She decides to call Ledger and he immediately picks up.
"Lorelei, are you ok?, what did the doctor say?" he asks nervously on the other side of the phone.
"Am fine Ledger, it's just that…"
"What, what's wrong?" he pushes
"Am pregnant Ledger with your child" silence on the other end of the line.
"Am gonna be a dad?" he says shocked but with a hit of happiness in his voice, this makes her smile.
"I guess you are" she laughs
"Am very happy, let me tell my parents right away" he says vey excited, she laughs
"I love you Lorelei"
"I love you too Lodger" he hangs up and she's worried on how her parents would take it knowing she's about to marry Sam in one week.
