To say she was nervous would be an understatement. In fact, Dawn was not only nervous, but she thought she was more scared than she had been facing dozens of ubervamps back in Sunnydale just before she arrived in Colligo. As she stood outside Adam's door, staring at it in silence for a long moment, she didn't yet knock. She had no idea how this was going to go. From the texts, she couldn't tell if he was happy or sad or angry, or if he wanted nothing more to do with her. The thing was, she didn't really know what she wanted, either. Wait, that wasn't right - she wanted Adam, because she really did care about him, even if she had flirted with other guys...and cheated on him. She also was sure that she wanted the baby - even if he didn't. It was a piece of him she could hold onto, and...well, she couldn't even consider the alternative.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes for a moment, then reopened them and lifted her hand, knocking softly on the door.

"Adam? It's me. Dawn."

His 'no!' caused her to jump a little and almost get up, but she eased back down when he said he didn't want her to go. She watched him worriedly for a moment, until he started to speak again. She wrapped her arms around herself and nodded her in agreement. "There is a lot to think about. A whole lot."

When he said he loved her, she kept her eyes on his, her own widening slowly. Even after what she had done - and he didn't know the worst part, but she wasn't planning on telling him ever if she could help it - he loved her.

"I love you too." The words weren't quite automatic, because it was something she had to think about first, to be sure, but she was and so they were sincere. She slowly smiled in return and stood, moving over to him. "I want to be with you, too. I want that even if I wasn't pregnant...when we were...not together...it hurt." One hand rose and rested over her heart - it might've been corny but it was true. "Right here. I hated being apart from you." As she reached him, she slid her arms around him slowly. "You don't have to say anything...not right now. I just want to be with you, okay?" She gave him another small, shaky smile, then kissed him softly.
