If Annabeth Cates had known this day would come, she would've found someone to act as her boyfriend in advance.
"My boyfriend must be asleep now. Let's do it tomorrow," Annabeth said.
"You've been coming up with all sorts of reasons to stall me. This only proves that you're lying... Annabeth, you can't hide the truth from me..." Josh Batton said.
The way Annabeth tried to deny Josh's claims multiple times made him feel even more certain about his assumptions...
Meanwhile, Annabeth also knew that there was no way she could hide the truth any longer.
Josh was way too smart.
He was the kind of man who could see through everything once he'd found a single loophole.

"If my boyfriend discovers that I'm pregnant with someone else's child, it's over for us... I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to cause you any trouble...
"Since I'm capable of sorting this mess out on my own, there's no reason forto drag you down with me, too..." Annabeth explained carefully.
Now that his assumptions were verified, Josh began feeling mixed emotions.
He looked earnestly at Annabeth. "I thought about this long and hard earlier... I've decided. Annabeth, if you're reluctant to get an abortion, I'm willing to take up responsibility for the both of you... "We can get married right away... As for your boyfriend, I can compensate him," Josh added.
Although this wasn't fair for Annabeth's boyfriend, and Josh felt sorry for that man, this was their only way if Annabeth decided to keep the child...
Now, everything had changed drastically, all because of the blunder on that evening...
When Annabeth heard this, she felt extremely touched...
For an instant, she nearly felt persuaded.
However, Annabeth quickly recollected herself and shook her head. "No... I love my boyfriend. I've told you about this before..." When Josh heard this, his frown deepened.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly shifted his gaze to Annabeth's lower abdomen...
The child belonged to Josh.
If the delivery were successful, this child would be able to stumble toward Josh and call him Daddy in a few years...
Soon, Josh imagined a plump little girl learning how to walk as she stumbled toward him. In his mind, she hugged his leg tightly and looked up at him with her large, soulful eyes while she called him 'daddy'...
After thinking about that scene and realizing that a newborn's life was about to be taken away, his heart ached painfully.
However, since Annabeth didn't want to keep the child, and she wanted to continue being with her boyfriend, Josh would have to respect her decision.
