"What?" Eve whispered loudly to no one. "She's pregnant?" Brian asked. "She doesn't look pregnant." Nick noted. "Yes she does but she's wearing all black so you can't tell." Mya replied. "Did you know about this?" Kevin asked any of them. "I did." AJ and Mya said together. "You did?" Izabel asked. "Yeah, and I told Mya the other day. I knew D would find out when he saw her." AJ continued to explain. "So, you knew?" Brian asked Izabel. The funeral had ended right before Howie found out about Breanna. "Yeah, I knew." She murmured as she watched Howie and Breanna.

Howie pulled Breanna back towards him and held her as she continued to cry. She was completely taken over by grief and at the moment didn't care that Howie knew. "C'mon, let's get you home." Howie said as he led her to the waiting limo. The rest of the group followed them to the various cars near by. Kevin, Sarah, Eve, Mya and AJ went in Breanna's car while Brian, Izabel, Thomas, and Nick went in Howie's rental. They all drove to Breanna's house where Mya, Izabel and Eve had set up a small after party. Once they arrived at the house, Howie led Breanna up stairs. She continued to cry as he took her coat from her. She sat on her bed in a daze rubbing her large stomach as Howie went through her drawers. He found some sweats and handed them to her. He watched as she undressed in front of him. When he saw her stomach he felt a stab of jealousy towards Mitchell. "I hope he's there for that baby." Howie thought. Breanna finished getting dressed and sat back down on the bed. She had finally stopped crying and looked up at Howie who waiting patiently. He picked up her dress and placed it on a hanger before putting it back into the closet. She watched him with sorrow in her eyes. She was wondering what he was thinking. "Get some rest, Bree." He told her before he left the room.

Breanna laid in bed rubbing her stomach as the baby continued to kick. "Why'd you decide to kick him?" She asked the baby. The baby kicked in response. "Yeah, yeah. I know. You were saying hello. That was one hell of a time to say hi." She whispered as she drifted off to sleep. Howie listened quietly at the door before turning on his heel to walk back down stairs.

All of Howie's friends were downstairs along with Breanna's parents. Howie noticed a familiar looking blonde looking over the small crab cakes. "Try this. I don't think it tastes right." She told Howie as she stuffed a crab cake into his mouth. "Eww! Nat, thanks a lot." He replied as he spit it out. She laughed and wrapped her arms around him in a friendly greeting. "I'm gone less than a week and everything changes." She said quietly to him. Howie pulled out of the hug and looked into her large blue eyes. "Things always seem to change when she's involved." Howie replied pointing up towards the ceiling indicating Breanna. "C'mon, I think everyone wants to talk to you." Natasha said as she pulled Howie towards the living room. When he entered the room, Kevin, Brian, Nick, AJ, and Mya were waiting anxiously. "Where are the others?" Howie asked as Natasha ran over to sit on Nick's lap. "Breanna's parents left already and the girls are putting the kids to sleep." Brian replied. Howie nodded his head as he took a seat on the couch. He saw all the expectant faces staring back at him and knew he had to say something. He ran his hand nervously through his hair as he exhaled deeply. "I really don't have anything to say right now. Sorry, guys." Howie stated. "Are you okay with all of this?" AJ asked. "I don't know what 'all of this' is just yet. I think I just need some time. I'm thinking of going back home tonight to think things through." Howie explained. "No you don't! Nuh-uh!" AJ shouted out. "You're staying here. She ran away the first time, you're not going to do the same thing, man. That's just not like you!" Kevin explained almost angrily. "I think Mitchell should be here, not me." Howie spat out as he went to his room to be alone.

For the next two hours everyone in the house conversed about what was going on. "So, he thinks it's Mitchell's?" Izabel asked everyone. "I guess. He just said Mitchell should be here, not him." Nick explained. "We gotta get them alone. They need to talk this out." Brian stated. "Someone just lock his door. If we don't he'll escape." AJ joked. Nick smiled as a thought came to mind. "I know that look, Nickolas." Natasha stated. "So do I!" Brian replied. "Hey guys? Remember that game room?" Nick asked AJ and Brian, pointedly. "Yeah?" Brian questioned back. "Remember those keys?" Nick asked as his smile became larger.

Breanna awoke and glanced at her clock. She felt emotionally drained as she walked to her bathroom to take her prenatal vitamins and the other drugs her doctors had given her for her stomach. She knew all the stress that had been apart of her life for the past six months were damaging to her baby but the fact that Howie now knew about the baby made her feel much better. She walked downstairs to find everyone talking. "BREE!" Natasha shouted as she ran towards Breanna. She stopped in her tracks and looked down at Breanna's stomach. "Jeez, girl! How many months?" Natasha asked as she hugged Breanna. Breanna wasn't very large but it was obvious that she was pregnant. "About six months. But the baby likes to be carried around in my back." Breanna joked as she walked into the living room to see everyone else. "How'd you sleep?" Eve asked as she looked Breanna over. 'Six months? I was way bigger than she is.' Eve thought. "I slept like a baby." Breanna replied. She stopped for a moment and smacked herself in the forehead. "No pun intended." She stated with a small smile. The room laughed when they realized that she was looking better. "So, how do you feel?" Kevin asked Breanna as she took a seat on the floor. "I feel like I'm pregnant." She replied. "Been there!" Eve shouted as she laughed. "Done that!" Izabel added. The three women looked at one another before bursting into giggles. "Hey Nick, knock me up. I feel left out." Natasha told Nick as the color drained from his face. "Wha? Are...what? You're serious...?" "NICK! I was kidding!" Natasha shouted as she kissed him softly. "Oh get a room!" Breanna whined. "No way! I'm not ready for *that*!" Nick stated as he pointed to Breanna's stomach. "Oh shut the fuck up, little boy." She replied, throwing a pillow at Nick but hitting Natasha in the head instead. "Hey!" Natasha yelled back. "Oh, sorry girl! Bad aim." Breanna replied. "Yeah, that gut gets in the way." Brian joked. The room was roaring with laughter when Howie walked in.

"Hey D! Join the party." AJ exclaimed, pointing to the happy room. Howie smiled when he saw all the happy faces and sat down next to Breanna. Howie had made a decision upstairs that he wouldn't treat Breanna any differently. "Sleep well?" Breanna asked him. "And don't say 'like a baby!'" Nick shouted. Breanna grabbed another pillow and tossed it at him, missing him again. "Man, that stomach is messin' up your game!" Nick teased. Howie decided to play along with everyone as he poked Breanna in the stomach. Breanna looked down at her belly then back up at Howie. He shrugged, "you're supposed to do that 'woohoo' thing like the Pillsbury Dough Boy!" He teased. She grabbed another pillow and smacked him in the head with it. It was obvious that the two were uncomfortable around one another but were making an effort. "I'll be back!" Nick shouted as he got up and ran down the hallway. A moment later he returned and winked at Brian and AJ, flashing them the key that was hidden in his hand. "Where'd you go?" Breanna asked. "Oh, to the game room. I wanted to make sure I turned off Play Station." He explained. "Oh, okay." Breanna said. There was a tension in the air that could be cut with a knife. Nick looked at Brian, giving him large shocked eyes. "Oh yeah! Bree, could you show us that guest room you were working on." Breanna looked at Brian like he was from Mars. "Oh yeah, I wanted to see what you did to it." Natasha spoke up. Breanna looked at her like she was crazy. "Me too!" Mya stated. "What is with you people?" Breanna asked. Howie could sense something was going on. "Oh c'mon!" Izabel begged. "Shit! Fine, c'mon." Breanna replied as she tried to get up. Howie gave her his hand which she accepted.
