Chapter 24 Summary

Annie misses Nick and Izzy as she pulls into her driveway. The home does not feel like it belongs to the person she is now; instead, this home belongs to Annie Colwater. When she leaves a message for Blake, telling him that she is home, he comes home immediately. She tells him that she is pregnant with his child. He promises her that they will become a family and asks her to give him another chance. She tells him that she will have to stay in bed because of the pregnancy, which means that he will have to put her first. He agrees. Annie says that she is trying to find her way back to him but does not really like him now. She refuses to have sex with him, and when he mentions the old days, she feels like he wants her to erase the past few months.

Blake picks up Natalie at the airport and lets her drive the Ferrari home because he knows this will surprise Annie. In reality, he is never comfortable around Natalie. She asks her father how things were in Mystic, and he explains that he had been really busy at work so he was not with Annie there.
