Tattwo Part 3

By Fd Up Turtle

How stupid am I? I had nine pages of part 3 done and what do I do? I go and reformat my hard drive without saving the story. But anyway hopefully it will come out better this time. So as before read the other 3 parts to this story before you read this one.

All good things must come to an end and for Ashley�s story it�s sad to say this is the last installment. I�d continue it further but I just don�t have anything more to add to her life. All comments/suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] and now on with the story�

�Rise and shine Ashley.� Brandon came barging into Ashley�s room and opened her curtains. �What are you doing? What time is it?� Ashley shielded her eyes from the sudden shock of the morning light flooding in. �Well its 6:45 and you have school today so you better hurry up and start to get ready.� Brandon walked over and shook Ashley� belly. �I don�t want to go� I don�t feel good.� Ashley pulled a pillow over her face, trying to get out of going. �That�s not going to work.� Brandon sat down on Ashley�s bed. �Well fine, then why wake me up now? I still have a lot of time before I have to go.� Ashley took the pillow off her head for a brief moment. �Yes well that might be the case but you need all the time you can get to get ready on time.� All he heard back for a reply was Ashley�s snoring. �Alright that�s it; you have to get up now.� Brandon got up and tore the sheets off of Ashley. �Why is it so cold?� Ashley took the pillow off her head again to see, �Is that really necessary?� She looked up at Brandon with her eyes half closed still in a half sleep state. �Yes now get up.� Brandon took the sheets and walked out of the room. �Right, just after I�m done sleeping.� Ashley flopped back onto her pillow and fell back asleep.

�Ashley get up you�re going to be late for school!� Brandon shouted nervously pacing near the front door, keys clutched firmly in his right hand. �Will you calm down?! I still have 10 minutes!� Ashley shouted back, looking through her closet full of new clothes. �I just got these two weeks ago and nothing fits!� Ashley shouted to herself throwing another pair of pants onto the floor. �Ashley come on! You have to hurry up or you�ll be late!� Brandon shouted again getting more and more nervous as the minutes passed by. �Brandon give her time she�s probably having a hard time finding something that fits right and makes her look good� she is a girl and pregnant, you know.� Lisa started rubbing Brandon�s back trying to calm down him down. �I know but if she doesn�t hurry up she�ll get detention and then she�ll be complain about that and then her grades will slip and then she�ll hate me and not talk to me and�� Brandon started mumbling and walked away from Lisa pushing her hand away. �I don�t think they�ll give her detention just for being late on the first day� Lisa tried to get rid of Brandon�s doubts. �Oh you don�t know this school� this school has evil faculty that will stop at nothing to make certain people miserable. ASHLEY HURRY UP!� Brandon mumbled again and started to sweat. �Alright if you think so� Why don�t I go and see what�s taking her so long.� Lisa gave up the fight and walked to Ashley�s room.

Lisa knocked on the door, �Ashley are you ok? Can I come in?� All Lisa hear was crying so she walked in, Ashley was sitting on the edge of her bed, in nothing but a pair of panties and a bra that was a size too small with her belly hanging out in plain view, looking at the pile of clothes that had accumulate from the raid on her closet and draws. �Ashley what�s wrong?� Lisa sat down beside her. �I just got these clothes and none of them fit�NONE OF THEM! How can I go to school with no clothes? I don�t even want to go but Brandon�s forcing me�� Ashley was crying hysterically and mumbling so Lisa could hardly understand was she was saying. �Oh I�m sure you have something that fits.� Lisa got up and started to look in Ashley�s closet. �There�s nothing, I�m just a fat cow. I shouldn�t even be allowed to go to school, just tell Brandon I�m not feeling good and I�m calling in sick.� Ashley laid back in her bed and threw a pillow over head. �Oh don�t say that about yourself you�re a beautiful young woman, besides I found something that might fit you.� Lisa came out of the closet (no, not that way. She is married to a man you know) carrying a pair of cow printed sweat pants and a very large t-shirt. Ashley peaked out from under the pillow and started crying even harder after seeing the clothes Lisa had and then threw the pillow back over her head. �I know it looks bad but if you�ll only have to wear them just this once.� Lisa sat back down on the bed and started rubbing Ashley�s belly. �ASHLEY IF YOU DON�T GET OUT HERE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO FUCKING MINUTES YOU�RE GROUNDED!!! THAT MEANS NO DESSERT, NO LATE NIGHT SNACK AND NO TV!!!� Brandon was shouting at the top of his lungs. �Fine then I�ll make the fucking prick happy and go!� Ashley shouted getting out of bed and getting dressed. �Ashley you don�t have to go if you don�t want to. Brandon doesn�t mean any of that� Lisa was now trying to persuade Ashley to stay home. �No I have to once he starts swearing he means it.� Ashley finished putting on her shirt while still crying.

�So where�s breakfast?� Ashley asked noticing that there was no food on the table. �You took to long so I threw it all away. Now let�s get going.� Brandon walked out the door. Ashley looked back a Lisa who was just coming up behind her. �What�s going on now?� Lisa saw the look of anger and the tears just trying to come flooding out of Ashley. �Brandon threw all of breakfast away and now he just walked out to the car like nothing happened.� Ashley tried her best not to start crying again. �I�m sure he�ll stop somewhere before he drops you off. Now you better hurry before he wakes up the whole neighborhood with that horn.� Lisa pushed Ashley out the door.

�Are we stopping anywhere to get something to eat before you drop me off?� Ashley asked rubbing her belly, in her most innocent voice. �There�s no time, you took to long and besides you�re fat enough as it is. Skipping a meal will be good for you.� Brandon didn�t even look at Ashley. �Y-Y-YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH� H-HOW DARE YOU� WHY WOULD YOU�� Ashley was too angry to form a long enough sentence to defend herself and just decided to not say anything.

�Well are you going to get out or are you going to just sit there and make me even more late for work?!� Brandon shouted at Ashley to get out of the car. Ashley then opened the door and got out. Once she was out she turned around to holler at Brandon but he just sped away.

�Hanna� Elizabeth� Hannabeth� I-I-I just saw� I just saw�� Brittany came running up all out of breath to Hanna and Elizabeth, knock a few people on the floor in the process. �Well what did you just see?� Hanna asked since Brittany stopped in mid sentence and just gave a blank stare. �Hello? Brittany, what did you just see?� Hanna asked again waving her hand in front of Brittany�s blank face to break her out of her trance. �Huh? What?� Brittany shook her head. �Could you be anymore blonde? You came running up to us like you had something urgent to say.� Hanna explained what had just happened. �I did?... Oh yeah I did, didn�t I? Well any way I just saw Ashley come out of a car.� Brittany finished. �And? What�s so urgent about that?� Elizabeth asked now joining in on the conversation. �I don�t know.� Brittany shrugged her shoulders, �Oh wait she looked like she was pregnant and she was on crutches.� Brittany finally came out with the urgent news. �We can�t have a pregnant girl hang around with us just think of what that might do to our image. People might think that we�re easy.� Hanna turned to Elizabeth for a suggestion. �But we are easy Hanna. You know that, we�ll put out even if someone gives us a certain look.� Elizabeth replied in a clueless tone. �Yes but I don�t want people to think we�re that easy.� Hanna replied. �Oh, look here she comes� what is she wearing?... are those cow printed pants?... oh my god she is friggin� huge� what are we gonna do Hanna?� Elizabeth looked to Hanna for guidance. �Just follow my lead and try not to make eye contact.� The two of them turned around and tried to look like they were organizing Hanna�s locker.

�Hey guys! I�m sorry I haven�t called any of you, I�ve been well kinda tied up and as you can see I was a little busy over the summer.� Ashley approached her friends trying to make light of her situation. �So whatcha have in there? Any new pictures you want to share.� Ashley tried to look over Hanna�s shoulder to see what everyone was looking at. �Did you hear anything Elizabeth?� Hanna stopped what she was doing and looked to her friend. �Um� nope can�t say that I have.� Elizabeth replied. �Really? �Cause I could have sworn that I heard a FAT COW walk up behind us.� Hanna now turned around and looked Ashley right in the face. �You know what Hanna I think you�re right I did hear a FAT COW walk up behind us.� Elizabeth turned around too looking Ashley in the face. �Um, Hanna� that isn�t a fat cow it�s just Ashley in cow pants.� Brittany tugged on Hanna�s sleeve, both Hanna and Elizabeth shot her glares that took Brittany a couple of seconds to get what they where doing, �Oh, yeah you know you�re right that was a FAT COW.� Brittany said looking at a fat girl that just walked by, �You know what Brittany why don�t you just sit down and rest your brain before you hurt yourself.� Hanna turned to her pushing Brittany to the ground. Ashley just stood there for a second not believing what was happening. �You don�t have to be so mean about this, all you have to say is that you don�t want to be friends with me anymore.� Ashley turned around and started to hobble away on her crutches when Brittany made a �Mooing� sound. Everyone turned to Ashley and started laughing then one kid went up behind her and opened her book bag, making all the contents fall out onto the floor. Ashley bent down to pick up all of her stuff everyone started laughing harder and kicked her stuff as they walk by.

The bell for homeroom rang and Ashley was still picking up her stuff which made her five minutes late.

��Now if everyone can just fill out your emergency contact forms and pass them-� Mrs. Dumblebee cut herself short when Ashley walked into the room, �May I help you?� She asked. �Um� I�m supposed to be here.� Ashley replied looking down as not to make eye contact. �You�re five minutes late� do you have a pass?� Mrs. Dumblebee looked up at the clock and then at Ashley. �N-No I don�t I would have made it on time but my bag opened and everything fell to the floor�� Ashley tried to look down at her feet while explaining why she was late before the teacher cut her off. �I don�t want to hear any excuses� but I suppose since this is the first day I�ll let you go this one and only time, and that goes for everyone else here. If you show up late to homeroom and/or to my class late without a pass you will get detention. Understand?� Mrs. Dumblebee explained to Ashley then turned to the class everyone nodded their heads in agreement. �Now have a seat.� Mrs. Dumblebee turned back to Ashley and pointed to the last remaining desk/chair open at the front of the class. �Now as I was saying once you have completed you emergency contact forms-� She cut herself short again seeing Ashley standing next to her desk. �What is it now Ms� Ms Anderson.� She asked looking at Ashley and then at the page in her hand to find her name. �Um, well I don�t think I can fit into the desk.� Ashley replied in a hushed embarrassed tone. �What? I couldn�t hear you, you have to speak louder.� Mrs. Dumblebee leaned forward and cupped a hand up to her ear. �I-I said the desk is too small.� Ashley replied a little louder. �Well then maybe you should loose some weight.� Hanna shouted from the back of the room. All the kids started laughing. �Alright that�s enough� if you don�t stop laughing everyone is getting detention today!� Mrs. Dumblebee shouted so everyone would stop, �Ms. Anderson just sit at my desk for now.� She said pointing to her desk. Brittany made the �moo� sound again and everyone started laughing again which then resulted in the entire class, except Ashley, getting detention.

The rest of the morning classes when the same as homeroom. Since Ashley and her �friends� had setup their schedules last year so that they all would have most of the same classes together, they where there sitting behind her making fun of her the whole time.

Ashley�s PE class came around and she couldn�t have been happier since the next period was lunch and because there were no desks in sight, but the entire class had to sit down and listen to Mr. Lumb�s first day lecture on what he expects of them and what they should expect from him. Ashley did notice that among her �friends� there were some upperclassmen in her class specifically a boy that she recognized butcouldn�t think of where she had seen him before. She looked at him and then looked away after realizing he was just making fun of her with his other friends.

�Yes there�s the bell time to eat...� Ashley said to herself getting up a little to fast, �Whoa can�t do that again.� She finished after feeling lightheaded. Once Ashley got to the cafeteria she loaded her tray with food, since she didn�t have breakfast and was hungry. She then surprised herself as she made it to a table without spilling anything while carrying the food and walking on her crutches. �Wow Ashley you must be going for the world�s fattest cow.� Hanna strolled up with her two other lackeys right behind her. �Shove it.� Ashley looked up for a brief moment and then went back to eating. �Oh you didn�t just-� Hanna put down her tray so her hands would be free if a fight started and stopped talking when Ashley reached out and grabbed her chocolate pudding and started to eat it. �What are you doing?!...� Hanna shouted and was going to continue until she got an idea, �Brittany here�s some money now go and get as many desserts as you can with it and Elizabeth go and gather a bunch of people around this table.� Hanna gave out orders to get her plan started.

�Will you all just stop, you know I can�t help myself!� Ashley shouted crying as she ate all the food the kids kept placing in front of her. After twenty minutes of this the bell finally rang to announce the end of lunch everyone left the cafeteria except Ashley, who was finishing the last bits of food, and a few other stragglers. One of them was the kid from PE class that looked familiar. He walked up to her and was about to speak. �What the hell do you want? Come to make fun of me some more? Well you can just go fuck yourself!� Ashley shouted still crying and still eating. �Um, actually I was just coming over to see if you needed any help.� The boy looked down and spoke quietly. �Well I don�t need any help! Just-just go away!� Ashley shouted again as another spoon full of pudding went in her mouth.

�Ashley I want to apologize about this morning, I was a total ass and� Ashley I�m sorry I didn�t mean to holler and call you fat I was just� Please don�t cry Ashley� Oh none of this is going to work!� Brandon shouted sitting in his car in front of the school practicing what he was going to say to Ashley. �Great here she comes� It looks like she has been crying all day.� Brandon said to himself seeing Ashley walk out of the school doors.

�S-So how was the first day back? Did you catch up with all your friends?� Brandon turned to her as Ashley got in the car. Ashley sat down, closed the door and started crying. �What�s wrong? Is it about what I said today?� Brandon moved his hand over to Ashley�s belly to try and calm her down. �Don�t touch me you stupid (insert another long list of swears and insults here)!� Ashley screamed pushing Brandon�s hand away. �Ok I guess I deserved that and since it�s now out in the open I want to apologize, I wasn�t mad at you I�ve just been under a lot of stress lately-� Ashley stopped him with more screaming, �Just shut up I don�t want to hear you speak� I�m never talking to you again! Just take me home now!� Ashley finished and turned away from Brandon. �But how do I know where to take you for a �snack�?� Brandon put a hand on her shoulder trying to lighten up the mood. �I said don�t touch me! JUST TAKE ME HOME!� Ashley almost ripped off Brandon�s arm and started crying even harder. �Ok then� I guess we could just go home and have something there.� Brandon rubbed his shoulder and put the car into drive.

�Welcome home� so how was the first day back?� Lisa asked hearing the door open and seeing Ashley hobble in with her crutches. Ashley did not say a word, she just hobbled by Lisa with tears in her eyes, went to the fridge and grabbed a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream and then went over to the cabinets and grabbed a bag of Oreos and a spoon and hobbled over to her room and slammed the door. �What was that all about?� Lisa turned to Brandon as he walked in with a look of confusion and defeat in his eyes. �What was that all about? I�m a moron and a horrible brother is what that is all about.� Brandon sat down heavily on one of the chairs in the kitchen and started to tear up. �You�re not a horrible brother.� Lisa sat down next to Brandon. �So you�re saying I�m a moron?!� Brandon got a little offended. �Well� you can be sometimes. So what�s going on between the two of you now?� Lisa asked trying to find out what the newest crisis was between them. �Well to start it off I was a complete ass to Ashley this morning and didn�t getter her any breakfast, then she had a horrible day a school and won�t tell me about it and she just not even talking to me.� Brandon put his head in his hands. �You want me to go talk to her again?� Lisa started rubbing Brandon�s back �You can try, but I don�t think you�ll get passed the door.� Brandon lifted up his head for a moment and then rested his head back in his hands.

�Ashley? Can I come in?� Lisa knocked on her door. �Why? So you can� holler at me� and tell me how� how f-f-fat I am�� Ashley replied through the door between crying and mouthfuls of ice cream and cookies. �No I just want to talk. Brandon told me how upset you are.� Lisa replied honestly. �That moron� I never want to see� or talk to him� again� he�s not there� with you� is he?� Ashley was still crying and eating. �No he�s not Ashley, it only me. Brandon�s in the kitchen and he�s pretty upset.� Lisa was still standing on the other side of door. �Fine you can come in then.� Ashley was starting to regain some composure. Lisa walked in and saw that Ashley was sitting on her bed with no pants on eating ice cream and the bag of Oreos resting on her belly with black crumbs all around her. �So what happened to your pants?� Lisa went and sat down next to her. �I threw them away.� Ashley pointed to the trash barrel on the side of her bed while eating another spoonful of ice cream. �Why�d you do that? These are still good.� Lisa went and started taking them out of the trash. �Put them back in there! I never want to see those pants again!� Ashley shouted spiting ice cream on herself. �Ok I�ll leave them there, but are you going to tell me why you�re throwing them away?� Lisa put the pants back in the barrel. �Would you want to wear them after your friends disowned you and started making fun of you by call you a �fat cow� and making mooing noises every time they walked by you� or getting everyone in the cafeteria to throw food in front of you just to see if you could eat it all and make a pig out of yourself just because your pregnant and your wearing cow print pants because none of your other clothes fit you and your stupid moron brother hollered at you and didn�t get you anything to eat and forced you to got to school even though you never wanted to in the first place?.� Ashley stopped eating and just cried. �Ah, so this is why your mad a Brandon. Well I don�t blame you for being mad Ashley, but you shouldn�t put all your anger at your brother. He�s only doing what�s he thinks is best for you. He�s not doing it to be mean.� Lisa gave Ashley a hug and rubbed her belly Ashley just cried harder. �I�m going to take this food so you don�t get sick from eating it all.� Lisa took the ice cream and cookies away and started walking towards the door. �Bring them back! I�m still hungry!� Ashley reached for them and then gave up after they were too far away. �Don�t worry dinner will be ready in a couple of minutes, I�m sure you can wait that long.� Lisa turned around in the doorway. �I�m not eating with that moron!� Ashley shouted and started to get off her bed. �You will when you�re hungry.� Lisa walked out the door towards the kitchen Ashley just sat back down on her bed and rubbed her belly, �Why do I always have to be hungry? Why? It�s all your fault, you hear me it�s your fault.� Ashley poked her belly blaming her babies on her constant hunger.

�So I guess she either really hates me now or she not hungry.� Brandon leaned back in his chair noticing that Ashley hadn�t come out to eat. �Give her time she had a rough day.� Lisa sat down with her plate. �If you say so.� Brandon started eating. Ashley finally came in after Brandon and Lisa were almost done. �I-Is there anything left?� Ashley sat down in her chair. �There�s more than enough left.� Brandon got up and got a plate ready for Ashley and then put it in front of her. �Thank you.� Ashley tried not to look at Brandon and just ate. After awhile Ashley couldn�t handle the silence between her and her brother any more and decided to speak. �Brandon, I�m sorry I treated you the way I did today�� She finally looked at him. �It�s ok I should be the one who�s apologizing here, what you did today was none of you�re fault I shouldn�t have lost control like that and I understand if you don�t want to go to school tomorrow.� Brandon was now looking at her too. �No, I want to go, just to give it one more day but I don�t have any clothes that fit me anymore and it�s too late to go shopping so I don�t know what I�m going to do.� Ashley looked down at her belly and gave it a rub. �Don�t worry Ashley I went to the mall today and exchanged all your old clothes for bigger sizes.� Lisa now joined the conversation. They all finished eating along with a few extra desserts for Ashley and then when to bed.

Brandon walked into Ashley�s room to wake her up. He sat down on her bed and rubbed her belly. �Good morning.� Ashley said with a groggy smile while stretching. �We�ve got an hour before we have to leave and breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes.� Brandon got up and kissed her on the forehead and walked out of the room. Ashley laid in bed for a few minutes, �Oh I suppose I should get up now... so you guys decided to grow overnight?� Ashley talked to her babies noticing a somewhat noticeable growth in her belly. Ashley got dressed and slowly made her way to the kitchen. The three of them sat down and had a pleasant breakfast and then left to start their days.

�So are you going to be alright today?� Brandon looked over to Ashley. �I suppose I can handle at least one more day.� Ashley started to get a little nervous. �Well if you have any trouble and want to leave just give me a call.� Brandon replied rubbing her belly. �Well here goes nothing.� Ashley hugged Brandon and got out of the car.

�Oh great here she comes, what are we going to do?� Elizabeth started to panic. �Will you calm down! We can�t let her see us like this. Just-just follow my lead.� Hanna shook Elizabeth. �Oh hi Ashley how are you doing? You look great today.� Hanna started giving out compliments. �What are you talking about Hanna I though we agreed that she was a fat cow?� Brittany was confused yet again. Elizabeth gave her a hard smack on the back of her head and Brittany then remembered what they were doing. �Oh yeah, I�m very sorry I said that Ashley. You do look great today.� Brittany finally got it right. �What do you think Elizabeth?� Hanna elbowed her. Elizabeth just stood there like she had just seen a ghost. �You see that Ashley you look so good that you�ve scared Elizabeth speechless.� Hanna tried her best to cover up. �I don�t know what the three of you are up to but I don�t believe any of it for a minute, so you can just go back to the way you were.� Ashley was very confused as to what was going on. �What are you talking about? This is the way we�ve always been.� Hanna looked shocked and hurt by what Ashley just said. �Ok then whatever.� Ashley just walked away and into her homeroom room.

The first half of the day went the same as the morning, everyone acting really nice to her.

�Oh, I got gym next� I think I�ll just skip it and pretend I don�t feel good so I can go take a nap� but what if Brandon finds out?... How is he supposed to know if I feel good or if I�m just making it up?... He�ll find out he always does... I�ll just start crying that always works� ok it�s settled then I�m going to the nurse.� Ashley struggled with her conscience whether or not to skip gym and she won.

�Ashley it�s lunch time.� The nurse came over to wake her up. �Huh, oh thank you I guess I�ll be going know.� Ashley got up and went to the door. �Oh before I forget I called your brother to let him know you came down here not feeling good.� The nurse sat back down at her desk. �Oh, t-thank you.� Ashley turned back around, her face turned white and she got a chill down her spine from the though of being caught. �See I told you he would find out� Just shut up I don�t need this right now�You got caught, you got caught.� The little voice inside her was laughing a doing dances while Ashley made her way to the cafeteria.

Ashley yet again made it to a table without dropping anything. �Can I help you?� Ashley looked up after finishing off her first slice of pizza to see that familiar looking kid from her PE class standing at the other end of the table staring at her. �Uh, um yeah, I was just wondering if you, uh, if I could, if no one is�� He tried to speak but the words wouldn�t come out. �What? If you could make fun of me while I just sit here getting fatter? Fuck off!� Ashley looked at him and then started to feel bad after she saw the sad look on his face. �Look I�m sorry. It�s just no one�s actually talked to me since I�ve been back� Well are you going to sit down or are you going to just stand there.� Ashley calmed down a bit. �That�s what I was going to ask you� thank you.� The kid pulled out a chair and sat down. �You look very familiar. Do we know each other?� Ashley gave him a funny look as if she was trying to place him somewhere in her past memories. �We sort of� we were in the same art class last year I sat behind you every day but I never said anything to you since you are a class below me and my girlfriend at the time sat right next to me. And I�ve been sort of stalking you ever since I saw you by yourself at the mall a few months ago in that tight t-shirt that showed off you belly so nicely.� He stopped talking and stared off in space. �A-Are you drooling?� Ashley was half disgusted and half amused that someone was literally drooling over her. �Huh? Oh no I wasn�t drooling I-I was just thinking about this food that I have.� The kid wiped his mouth with his sleeve. �What the hell is going on today? Why is everyone including complete strangers being nice to me?� Ashley was looking around to see if anyone was looking at her laughing. �Oh sorry I never introduced myself. I�m Andrew but you can call me Andy if you like and the whole thing about everyone being nice is because of me. I spent all night last night looking up anything that I could find about your �friends� so that they wouldn�t bother you anymore.� Andy replied as if it was nothing while eating his slice of pizza. �Ok so that was all you. Why go through all of that for me when you have a girlfriend?� Ashley was confused as to why someone would do that. �Well I no longer have a girlfriend, she was a bitch, and I�ve always had a crush on you and once I saw that you where pregnant that just made it even better and I had to let you know how I feel about you.� Andy finished his pizza. �Did you just say that since I got pregnant I�ve made it better somehow?� Ashley was really confused now. �Um, did I say that? I meant to ask who the father is.� Andy avoided the subject all together. �I don�t want to talk about that.� Ashley eyes started to well up at the thought of Alex and completely got her off the current conversation. �Oh sorry, didn�t mean to upset you� do you want the rest of my lunch? You�ve been eyeing it ever since you finished with yours.� Andy pushed the tray over to her. �Thanks I�ve been so hungry lately.� Ashley dug into the newly acquired food. �And it defiantly shows.� Andy slipped out trying to make a compliment. Ashley dropped the pudding cup she had in her hand and sat there with her mouth open in shock. �Did you just call me fat!?� Ashley tried to get up and failed. �N-No I was trying to compliment you� it really suits you� being pregnant and all.� Andy tried to save himself. �Well I�m just going to have to believe you since I can�t get up right now.� Ashley settled back down. �Hold on a second, why are you doing all of this? Did your friends put you up to this? Don�t think I saw you making fun of me yesterday in PE.� Ashley�s thought back to the previous day. �Oh that, my friends were the ones making fun of you. I was defending you.� Andy set the record strait. �How can I believe you I saw you laughing with them?� Ashley dug deeper. �I was laughing because they�re a bunch of morons and they were making fools of themselves and I saw you staring at my shorts a few time, so that should be proof enough.� Andy replied with a smile. Ashley just sat there and blushed being caught �red-handed�. They continued talking through the rest of the lunch period and by the end Ashley invited Andy over for dinner that night.

�Alright you just stay here and I�ll go talk to my brother.� Ashley left Andy at the curb. �I got a call from the nurse this afternoon, are you ok?� Brandon turned and noticed Ashley was still standing outside. �Great now how am I going to get out of this?� Ashley looked around avoiding eye contact while trying to think of something to say, �You got caught! You got caught!...� the voice in her head was laughing and doing its dance again. �Shut up! Just shut up!� Ashley shook her head trying to get the voice to stop. �Why are you telling me to shut up I just asked you if you where ok.� Brandon raised his eyebrows. �No not you it�s just the voice.� Ashley didn�t realize what she said. �Are you alright?� Brandon asked again. �Well�� Ashley started forcing out some tears, �I wasn�t feeling good so I went to the nurse to lie down.� Ashley tried her best to look sad. �Yeah alright, you don�t have to lie to me I know you skipped gym. Just don�t do it again. Now get in the car so we can get going.� Brandon saw through her act. �Do you need an invitation?� He looked at her with a puzzling look seeing her smile. �Ok then what�s up?� Ashley stood there for a second trying to get the words right in her head before she spoke. �I had sex�� Ashley stopped and thought to herself, �No, that didn�t come out right.�

�We already know that that�s why you have the belly.� Brandon pointed to her sister�s bulging belly. �No I mean I want to have sex�� Ashley stopped and thought again, �That didn�t come out right either.� Brandon stared at her for a second, �Well I can�t help you there because you know, it�s kind of a legal issue in this state.� Ashley gave him a �don�t be a smartass� look. �What I meant to say is that I met someone at school today and I invited him over to have sex with me�� and yet again she stopped, �Ok that first part came out right but the last part defiantly didn�t come out right. Why do I suddenly have sex on the mind?�, �Ashley are you coming down with something?� Brandon leaned over to try and feel her forehead but she was too far away. Ashley closed her eyes and took a deep breath, �No, I feel fine. What I�m trying to say is that I met someone at school and invited him over for dinner if that is ok with you.�

�Yes that defiantly came out right that time.� Ashley smiled with pride that she finally got it right. �Well is he meeting you at our house or am I driving him?� Brandon looked out the window to see if he could spot him. �Oh, oh yeah he�s right over there.� Ashley turned around and waved for him to come over.

�Hi I�m Andy.� Andy introduced himself extending his hand to shake Brandon�s once he got in the back seat. �So you�re the one that Ashley invited over to have sex with.� Brandon turned in his seat to shake his hand. �Did I miss something?� Andy looked at Ashley in the rear view mirror. �No you didn�t, it�s just my brother being an ass.� Ashley gave her brother one of those �if looks could kill� faces. Brandon just smiled and drove out of the parking lot.

�Welcome home you two� or make that three.� Lisa gave Brandon a hug. �So who�s the new one?� Lisa turned and smiled at Andy. Ashley turned and shot Brandon another look so he wouldn�t talk. �This is Andy, we go to school together.� Ashley introduced him. There was a long pause after the introduction. �Well then� Ashley why don�t you help Lisa with dinner and I�ll have a talk with our new friend in the other room.� Brandon gently pushed Andy into the living room.

�Have a seat.� Brandon pointed to the couch. Andy nervously sat down. �So what do you want with my little sister?� Brandon started his interrogation. �Well ever since last year I�ve had a crush on her and now that I�m single I want to see where it can go.� Andy voice quivered a little. �You know she�s pregnant right� wait a minute you�re the kid that was following us around the mall that day.� Brandon recognized Andy. �Yes I am and yes I know she pregnant that just makes it even better she so gorgeous with that belly getting bigger every day.� Andy confessed and then blushed after realizing what he said about her body. �Alright then, just remember this one thing: if you ever hurt Ashley in any way shape or form I will hunt you down and kill you.� Brandon got up and started for the kitchen, �Well are you coming? The food going to get cold.� He turned around since Andy was just sitting there white in the face. �Um y-yeah s-sure.� Andy got up and stumbled his way to the kitchen

��So after getting the mall security and just about every store involved I finally spotted her on the stage dancing with the band that was playing there with her blanket shoved up her shirt and chocolate all over her face.� Brandon finished telling one of the many embarrassing stories of Ashley�s younger years. Everyone was laughing except Ashley who had her head down trying not to get aggravated by her brother by filling her mouth with as much food as possible. �Oh and then there was the time�� Brandon was laughing so hard he couldn�t talk. ��The time� we�� He tried to clam down by drinking his soda but that just came shooting out of his nose. ��That time� we went to the�� Brandon was now crying from the laughing. ��We went to the� water park� and Ashley got� on the biggest slide there was� and halfway through� ...� Brandon started banging his fist on the table tears streaming down his face, �halfway through� her, her� bathing suit� f-flew�� Ashley stood up so fast that she almost knocked the table over with her belly, not to mention herself, �THAT ENOUGH OF THE STORIES NO MORE!� Ashley spat food all over the place. �Oh come on Ashley it�s a funny story.� Brandon tried to persuade her wiping the tears from his eyes. �Not another word!� Ashley threw her spoon at him. Brandon caught it and turned to Andy to finish the story. �So anyway her bathing suit flies off-�

�Do you have a death wish? Because I will come over there and stab you in the eye.� Ashley picked up her knife and stared at Brandon. �Ok you wanna play this game? You know I always win.� Brandon gave Ashley the stared back. �Well I�m done Brandon why don�t you help me clean up so Ashley and her friend can go a watch TV or something.� Lisa tried to break up the �fight�. �Yes why don�t you Brandon.� Ashley broke the silence between them. �Yes I won!� Brandon jumped up and down as a knife when whizzing by his head, �Ok you won.� Brandon said back down. �Come on Andy let the little kid clean up.� Ashley yanked him out of his chair. �Wouldn�t that be you Ashley?� Brandon teased. Ashley turned around and gave him another look and made a stabbing motion with her arm and walked away. �Ok then I guess that would be me then.� Brandon turned to Lisa for support. �Hey don�t look at me you�re the one that�s teasing a pregnant teenager.� Lisa took his plate and put it in the sink.

�Are you crying?� Andy saw Ashley with tears in her eyes once they got to her room, �If I hurt you from laughing at the stories I�m sorry.�

�It�s not that is just my brother. I know he�s doing it just to get me all worked up, it�s not your fault.� Ashley dried her eyes while lying down on her bed. �So you never told me what happened to you and the father.� Andy pointed to her belly trying his best not to pry. �I guess I should tell you�� Ashley told him the whole story about how she got pregnant and what happened to her and Alex. After she was done Andy sat there unable to think of anything to say. �Alright let�s just watch some TV before I start crying again.� Ashley wiped more tears out of her eyes and turned on the TV. �You can lie down next to me instead of just sitting there.� Ashley gave him a seductive look while running one finger up her belly. �No, that�s alright I�ll just stay where I am.� Andy tried to focus on the TV. �I said lie down next to me.� Ashley said trough clenched teeth. �Ok.� Andy voice squeaked as he did what Ashley wanted. �You can rub my belly if you want; I�ve seen you staring at it all night.� Ashley put his hand on her belly and Andy started rubbing. After the game show that they where watching was over Ashley started to wiggle a little. �Is everything ok?� Andy sat up and looked at her. �Well not really� I-I haven�t been with anyone since Alex left and well� the �toys� can only do so much�� Ashley started rubbing her belly with her right index finger. �What are you talking about?� Andy wasn�t picking up the hints. Ashley rolled over pinning him to the bed with her belly. �It�s been so long and you�ve gotten me so horny with you �poking� me in the back�� Ashley was on top of him rubbing her belly on his stomach. �Oh sorry about that.� Andy blushed. �Just shut up and fuck me.� Ashley took off her shirt breathing heavily. �But what about your-� Andy tried to protest. �I said shut up.� Ashley unbuckled his belt.

�Ashley it�s time for Andy to go�� Brandon walked into the room just as they were about to �get it on�, �Oh dear God.� Brandon shielded his eyes, �Get some clothes on, both of you.� Ashley turned a bright red color from embarrassment. Andy looked at her and gave her a look as to ask what he should do. �Just put your clothes on.� Ashley whispered and covered herself with a blanket. �I�ll be in the car.� Brandon turned around and walked as fast as he could out of the room.

The silence of the ride to Andy�s house was made worse by the fact that the radio wasn�t on and the noises coming from Brandon as if he was trying to say something that he couldn�t get out. �Um, my house is right here on the corner.� Andy pointed. Brandon pulled the car up to the sidewalk to let Andy out. �You�re not going to tell my parents are you?� Andy turned around once he got out of the car. �No, I�m sure that if you want them to know you�d tell them yourself.� Brandon looked at him with a slight smile. �Um, ok. Well I guess I�ll see you later then.� Andy took off running to make sure he got inside before Brandon changed his mind.

Lisa walked into the kitchen since she heard someone moving around. Ashley was sitting at the table inhaling Oreo cookies with a nice amount of crumbs resting on her belly and breasts, �Hey slow down there you�re going to choke.� Ashley stopped and looked up at her then continued to eat at a slower pace. �So are you going to tell me what happened in your room or do I have to take the cookies away?� Lisa sat down next to her. Ashley grabbed the bag of Oreos and moved them away from Lisa, �We where watching TV and then Andy was rubbing my belly and that got me all horny so then I pinned him to the bed with my stomach and we were half naked by the time Brandon walked in.� Ashley shoved some more Oreos into her mouth. �Um� Wow your blunt�� Lisa was shocked and couldn�t find anything else to say. �How am I going to be able to look at him or even talk to him after what just happened? He saw me naked and about to have sex.� Ashley was looking for some kind of condolence. �Well if I know Brandon I�m sure he�s thinking the same thing too.� Lisa looked at Ashley and rubbed her back. �Sounds like he�s home now.� Lisa heard the car pull up. Ashley quickened her pace on eating again. �Ashley calm down it�s going to be alright. I�m going to go get him.� Lisa got up wondering why it was taking Brandon so long to come inside.

�Are you coming in or are you just going to sleep in the car tonight?� Lisa opened the door to the car and sat down. �What the hell am I going to say to her?� Brandon kept his gaze on the front door. �Well I�m sure you can think of something once you go inside.� Lisa tried to lure him out. �I just saw my pregnant teenage sister half naked and about to have sex.� Brandon ignored Lisa and continued to look at the door. �She is your sister and I�m sure you�ve seen her naked before.� Lisa tried to comfort him. �Yes I�ve seen her naked but that was when I was changing her diapers and giving her baths when she wasn�t even old enough to walk. Now she�s a teenager and pregnant, that�s completely different.� Brandon seemed to come out of his daze. �Well like I said before you�re her brother and I�m sure you�ll be able to talk to her you just need to go inside.� Lisa tried her best to encourage him. Brandon sat there for a few more minutes then got out without saying anything and Lisa quickly followed

�Ashley where are you going, we need to talk.� Brandon walked into the kitchen as Ashley got up from her chair and towards the other end of the kitchen, making half the crumbs fall off her shirt. �Calm down I�m only getting another bag of Oreos!� She snapped as she went to the cabinet to get the cookies. The last bag was on the top self in the cabinet that she couldn�t reach. �Who put those up there?� Ashley tried her best to reach the bag but her belly and her height wouldn�t allow it. �Hey! There�s no need to shout.� Brandon snapped back although it was slightly delayed, �Ashley could you just come over here, we really need to talk.� Brandon said standing at the table in a calmer tone. �Will you just shut up and help me get these damn cookies!� Ashley shouted, now trying to jump up and grab them and quickly stopped because of her leg. �Ashley could you just come over here first?� Brandon didn�t move. �Could you just stop being a bastard and get these cookies for me.� Ashley was still reaching for them. �Ashley if you�re going to start name calling you�re going to get nothing.� Lisa butted in. �You just shut up bitch and get me these cookies!� Ashley stopped reaching and started to cry. �What�s going on Ashley? Why are you being so stubborn?� Brandon walked over to her. �All I want is those cookies why can�t you just get them for me.� Ashley looked up at Brandon still crying. �Alright, if I get the cookies for you will you stop crying and come sit down?� Brandon looked at her. Ashley nodded her head and wiped the tears from her face. Brandon got the cookies and Ashley sat down at the table.

�I�m sorry I yelled. I just can�t control my emotions when I get hungry.� Ashley looked down at her belly avoiding eye contact. �It�s ok we understand.� Brandon opened the bag for her. Ashley started in on the new bag and the two of them looked around the room trying to avoid the talk that they need to have. Brandon kept glancing back at her looking at her belly remembering the events that happened earlier and then looked away every time Ashley would glance at him glancing at her. �Brandon didn�t you have something you wanted to say to Ashley?� Lisa broke the silence after they had all been sitting at the table watching Ashley eat for the past half hour. �Uh� yeah, how are those cookies?� Brandon looked at Ashley who was now covered in crumbs again. �Good, but I could use some milk, they are kinda dry.� Ashley talked through a mouthful of Oreo mush. Brandon got up and poured a big glass of milk and put it in front of Ashley, who then took a big gulp from it. �Thank you that hit the spot.� Ashley put the glass down and wiped her �mustache� off with her sleeve. Lisa looked at the two of them waiting for them to continue, �Wasn�t there something else Brandon?� Lisa stepped on his foot under the table. �Yeah, yeah, I am a little hungry could you part with a few?� Brandon looked at the bag of Oreos and then at Ashley. �I suppose, just don�t take a lot I am a growing girl you know.� Ashley handed the bag over rubbing her belly in anticipation for the bag to come back. �That�s not what I�m talking about! You two need to start talking about what happened in Ashley�s room earlier!� Lisa stood up and shouted. �Lisa there�s no need to get upset.� Brandon looked at her calmly, �But you�re right, Ashley you may be young and foolish, just look at you now�� Brandon pointed at her belly to emphasize his point. �Thanks a lot.� Ashley gave him a look taking offence to what he said. �I�m sorry I didn�t mean for it to come out that way. What I�m trying to say is that you�ve been through a lot of stuff and I trust that you can make your own right decisions now and that if you want to have� sssex with someone in your room then I�m fine with it, just make sure there�s something on the door that lets us know what you�re doing.� Ashley almost choked after hearing what her brother just said, �So that�s it? You�re not going to ground me or take away my TV or not allow me to see Andy anymore?� Ashley was dumfounded. �We would be hypocrites if we did. You hear us just about every night so how could we stop you from doing the same thing?� Brandon looked at Lisa with a smile as he explained the last part. �Ok then, I�m just going to finish these last couple of Oreos and then I�m going to bed.� Ashley shoved the last couple of Oreos in her mouth and got up as fast as she could before Brandon changed his mind and took off to her bedroom.

�That went somewhat, well not really what I was expecting but you did good.� Lisa congratulated Brandon on his parenting skills. �Why what were you expecting? Did you want me to start hollering and ground her?� Brandon looked at her with that same smile. �Something like that� but since you didn�t ground Ashley I think you should punish me because I�ve been a really bad girl� in fact I�ve been so bad that I need some spankings from the English guard.� Lisa got up on the table. �Oh really well here he comes.� Brandon got on top of her speaking in the cheesy English accent. �Alright you really have to stop with that accent and the two of you should do that in your own room. We do eat on that thing and I don�t want to get sick.� Ashley hobbled back into the kitchen. �What are you doing back?� Brandon looked up blushing a little. �Well I got to my room sat down and then remembered that I hid a bag of Oreos in the freezer for my 2am snack and I didn�t want to get in bed and get out again to get these so I decided that I�d get them now so I would have them in my room.� Ashley went over to the freezer to retrieve the bag. �So then why didn�t you just get those instead of going for the ones in the cabinet?� Lisa asked looking at her upside down while still under Brandon. �Because I forgot I put these in here and besides these ones are for my snack anyway so I would have need the ones in the cabinet anyway.� Ashley replied in her smart-ass teenager tone giving them both a look like they�re stupid. �Ok then.� Brandon gave her a look as for her to get out so they could continue what they where doing. �Alright then I�m going to bed and please go to your room before you continue.� Ashley turned and walked away.

The third day back at school for Ashley was much the same as the second with everyone trying to be nice to her or just staying out of her way all together.

�Yes my favorite class of the day, lunch, where I always get an �A� Ashley said to herself rubbing her belly in anticipation as she heard the bell for the end of the current class.

Ashley made her way down to the cafeteria, got her food and found a table. �How am I going to eat all of this?� Ashley just realized how much food she actually got. �Um, is this seat taken?� Andy walked up to the table with a big smile on his face. �Nope.� Ashley shoved a whole cupcake in her mouth. �So are you celebrating something?� Andy noticed all the food Ashley had in front of her. �No why?� Ashley shoved another cupcake in her mouth and grabbed the one off Andy�s tray. �Well it looks like you have more food than normal and you uh seem to be liking the cupcakes today.� Andy looked down at the empty spot where his cupcake was just seconds before. �Oh sorry. I�m just a little nervous today.� Ashley started on her second slice of pizza. �So I take it that you didn�t talk to your brother about last night?� Andy watched his cheeseburger now disappear off his tray. �What? Oh did you what this?� Ashley noticed the pained look on Andy�s face as she bit into his cheeseburger. �No that�s alright I wasn�t really hungry any way.� Andy looked at his empty tray as all the fries disappeared too, �So did you or didn�t you talk to your brother last night?� Andy�s stomach growled a little. �Oh, yeah, we did talk.� Ashley finished Andy�s fries and started on her own cheeseburger. Andy gave Ashley a look to expand onto what was said the night before. �Oh you want me to tell you what happened.� Ashley caught on and Andy nodded his head, �Well to make a long story short he said that he�s alright with me having sex with you.� Ashley started in on her pudding cup. �Well then why don�t I come by tonight so we can finish what we started?� Andy said with a grin. �Ah, tonight�s no good I have this support group thing I have to go to tonight, but I�m defiantly free tomorrow.� Ashley took a big gulp from her juice. �Well I could come too. I can make them all feel better and help them with their breathing and stuff.� Andy pleaded as he tried to take a fry from Ashley tray only to come within inches of getting his hand bitten off. �Sorry but it�s a pregnant girls only type thing and it not a Lamaze class like your thinking. But just think you have the rest of today all tonight and most of the next day to think about what we�ll be doing in my bed.� Ashley tried to cheer him up as she rubbed his inner thigh. �Uh, I-I have to g-go I-I�ll sssee you l-later.� Andy got up from his char and bolted for the doors running head first into one of then which made him fall down. Once back up he opened the door too fast and hit himself in the head falling down once more. On the third try he got it right but ran into a girl making her fall down as he flew by her. �Hum, must have been something he ate.� Ashley leaned over to see what he was hiding on his chair and picked up a wrapped chocolate chip cookie. �Ooo my favorite.� She unwrapped it and inhaled it.

�So how was your day?� Brandon looked to his right as Ashley got in the car. �It was alright� I�m just confused.� Ashley looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. �Confused about what?� Brandon put his hand on her shoulder. �I don�t think Andy likes me anymore.� Ashley looked like she was about to cry. �Why? What did you say to him?� Brandon rubbed her belly to try and prevent a �rain storm�. �I didn�t say anything to him. Why is it that you assume I always cause everything?� Ashley got offended. Brandon gave her a �because it�s true� look. �What? Don�t give me that look� the only thing I said was that he can�t come over and have sex tonight because of that group and that he has all tonight and tomorrow to think about what we�re going to do and after that whenever he saw me he�d immediately run in the opposite direction.� Ashley sighed. �Ashley you have it all wrong. You tell a teenage boy that he can�t have sex with you until tomorrow and then you tell him to think about it until tomorrow. So whenever he saw you he wasn�t running away because he didn�t like you he was running away because he�d see you and think about you two having sex.� Brandon tried to put it all into perspective. �But why would he run away?� Ashley was still confused. �Are you really this dense or is you�re blonde hair preventing oxygen from getting to your brain again?� Brandon joked messing up her hair. �Hey!� Ashley pushed his hand away and punched his arm. �I�m sorry, just think about it� but don�t hurt yourself.� Brandon received another punch to the arm. Ashley sat there for a second and then blushed once she realized why Andy was really running away from her. �Now do you understand?� Brandon rubbed his arm. �Yes, now can we just get going to the hospital for my group thing?� Brandon started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

�Well here we are� are you sure you want to go in alone?� They sat in the car that was stopped in the hospital�s fire lane. �Yes I�m sure I don�t need my big brother with me everywhere I go.� Ashley snapped. �Ok, I was just asking since we�ve been sitting here for about ten minutes now and the only thing you�ve been doing is looking at the hospital from the car.� Brandon poked her belly. Ashley finally opened the door and stepped out. �Well are you just going to sit there or are you going to leave?� Ashley closed the door and stuck her head through the window. �Are you sure you want to go in all by yourself?� Brandon questioned. �Yes I�m sure now go.� Ashley stepped away from the car and waved good-bye. �Alright then I�ll pick you up in an hour.� Brandon pulled away.

�Ok I can do this� I�m more than capable of going into a building by myself�� Ashley said to herself, �No I�m not I need Brandon to come in with me�� Ashley turned around to see if she could get Brandon as he looped around the parking lot only to see the tail end of the car pass by her, �Stop it Ashley! You can do this you�re a big girl you have to start doing stuff for yourself!� she tried to �pump� herself up. Ashley made it all the way to the inside lobby only to see her mother walk by and stop short at the sight of her, �My god Ashley what has he done to you?!� Jane asked loud enough for everyone in the lobby to hear. �What are you talking about?� Ashley snapped. �You�ve gotten so damn fat is what I�m talking about you�re turning into a cow you�re so big.� Jane poked Ashley�s belly to see if it was really that big. �Don�t let her get to you Ashley� she doesn�t matter anymore� she doesn�t control you�� Ashley tried to clam herself down and not give her mother the pleasure of crying in front of her. �I�m not fat I�m pregnant there�s a big difference!� Ashley shouted louder than her mother making everyone in the lobby stop what they were doing to see what was going on. �Well there�s no need to shout I was only stating your fat I mean a fact. You really should cut down on the food it really can�t be good for that leg and I�m sure you don�t want your babies to be as fat as you when they come out.� Jane rubbed her belly emphasizing her point. �Don�t touch me.� Ashley pushed her hand away,� I have to got or I�ll be late.� Ashley turned and walked as fast as her belly and crutches would let her. �Would you look at that ass, how can you fit through doors?� Jane shouted as Ashley walked away from her making everyone in the lobby look at her ass. �Ashley don�t cry! Just get to the elevator and everything will be fine, just don�t cry.� She held herself back as much as she could before she got to the elevator.

Ashley stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hallway and looked through the window of the room where the meeting was, �Oh great they started without me� well I don�t want to interrupt so I�ll just go back down and wait for Brandon.� She turned around only to walk into Dr. Dunn, almost knocking him over. �Well I�m glad you came, but where are you going in such a hurry?� the doctor steadied himself. �Oh, ssorry about that I just saw that they already started and I didn�t want to interrupt.� Ashley tried to look down at her feet. �They haven�t started yet they just come in early so they have more time to eat and talk� are you ok?� Dr. Dunn notice Ashley looked like she was on the verge of crying. Ashley took a deep breath trying to suppress the tears, �Yeah I�m fine.�

�Ok then why don�t we go in and introduce you to everyone.� The doctor guided her into the room.

�Good afternoon ladies we have a new addition to our group, her name is Ashley I�m sure you�ll all will make her feel welcome, why don�t you have a seat and we�ll introduce you to everyone.� Dr Dunn pointed to a couch with two other pregnant girls sitting on it while the doctor had a seat in his chair. �Wow your big how far along are you.� One of the girls that was sitting across the room asked. �Don�t listen to her she the loud mouth in the group, I�m Anna and this is Sarah,� the girl that was sitting next to Ashley started introducing everyone to her, �and the girl that is eating all the food it Emily and the loud mouth is Jackie.� Anna introduced the three other girls, �and if you don�t mind me asking how far along are you?� Anna pointed to her belly. �Uh, about three months but closer to four.� Ashley was still trying her best to hold back the tears. �Really? Jackie�s right you are pretty big.� Anna agreed with the other girl. �Uh, Ashley�s a special case we�re approximating that she carrying ten maybe more.� Dr. Dunn butted in. All the girls looked at her with amazement. �Wow, and I though I was cursed and I�m only carrying seven.� Jackie thought out loud. �Pay no attention to her she just tends to think out loud.� Anna gave Jackie a glare. �Are you ok? It looks like something�s bothering you? You can talk to us this is what this group is for.� Anna started rubbing Ashley�s belly to try and get her to talk. �It�s nothing I-I�m just a little hungry is all.� Ashley got to her feet and walked to the table of food. She started shoving food in her mouth once she got to the table. �No wonder she so big� just look at her inhale that food.� Jackie yet again thought out loud. After hearing Jackie Ashley stop what she was doing and started sobbing, �My mother�s right I�m nothing but a fat cow and that�s all I�ll ever be and all my kids are going to be as fat as me.� Ashley collapsed onto the floor crying. Anna struggled to get off the couch and onto the floor where Ashley was, �That�s not true your pregnant you�re supposed to get big and fat and once you have those babies you�ll get right back to your original weight.� Dr. Dunn coughed to send a signal for Anna not to go there. Anna turned around to see why the doctor was coughing. �Uh that�s not necessarily true for Ashley.� He had to elaborate for her. �Oh, well your babies aren�t going to be as fat as you.� Anna looked over at the doctor to see if he would objected to that too only to realize that she called Ashley fat when she started crying harder. �And you talk about me just blurting stuff out.� Jackie scolded Anna. Emily and Sarah now got on the floor to comfort Ashley only to still have her cry out of control. After seeing that Ashley was not going to stop anytime soon Dr. Dunn go up from his chair and knelt down in front of Ashley, �You can�t let you mother get to you like this. You know she only said that stuff in front of you so she could see you cry and since you wouldn�t give her that pleasure she tried even harder.� The doctor rubbed her belly as he talked. �I-I know but I keep having the same feelings deep down inside and she just brings them up whenever I see her.� Ashley started to calm down. �You should have seen how mad you made her. I followed her after I heard all the shouting in the lobby and she went to go kick a door open only to miss and land right on her back in front of everyone in the hall.� Dr. Dunn got up from the floor. �Really? Wish I could have seen it.� Ashley stopped crying and started laughing wiping the tears from her face with her sleeve. �Come on I�ll help you up so we can start.� The doctor grabbed Ashley�s arms to help her off the floor.

�Where is he? Did he forget about me?� Ashley started to get jittery after a half hour passed and Brandon still wasn�t there to pick her up. �Oh no there she is, did she see me?� Ashley saw her mother walk by where she was waiting, �Great she did. Why can�t she just leave me alone?� Jane walked over to Ashley with a big smile on her face, �Wow I�m surprised that chair�s holding up so well with all that fat sitting in it.� Jane stood just and inch from arms reach of Ashley. �Why are you here? Don�t you have a job to do?� Ashley looked away in hopes that her mother would loose interest if she wasn�t looking at her. �Yes I do but I just can�t get over how fat my own daughter has gotten.� Jane stayed where she was. �Fine you made you point now just go!� Ashley shouted letting a few tears escape. Jane was about to say something else just as Brandon walked up behind her tapping her on the shoulder, �Oh hi Brandon how are you?� Jane said turning around surprised at seeing Brandon. �Don�t talk just keep walking.� Brandon pointed down the hall. �I�m going to get back to work, nice talking to you Ashley.� Jane stumbled as she turned around. �Bite me bitch.� Ashley spat as her mother turned away from her. Jane turned back around with a fake look of hurt on her face, �I raised you for all those years and that�s all you have to say to me?� Jane forced out a tear. �Cram it and just keep walking.� Brandon kept his hand pointed down the hallway. Jane was about to say something else but the look on Brandon�s face made her decide it was probably better to just keep walking. �Are you ok?� Brandon helped Ashley up from her chair. Ashley tried to speak but the words where unable to come out so she just shook her head. �It alright just don�t let her get to you. Now let�s get out of hear before she comes back.� Brandon gave her a sideways hug and wiped the tears out of her eyes.

�So what did she say to you?� Brandon got in the car. �Nothing. Why where you late? If you weren�t late none of this would have happened!� Ashley�s face was getting red. �I�m sorry we lost track of time. We were making dinner and then a food fight broke out and one thing led to another and we ended up on the kitchen floor.� Brandon looked like a little kid who had just broken his mother�s favorite lamp, knowing that Ashley was going to have a fit. �And what were you doing on the floor? Did you slip and fall?� Ashley�s blondeness was creeping up on her. �Uh no, let�s just say I was putting the hot dog in the bun.� Brandon knew that would give him a few seconds to get himself ready before Ashley would figure out the analogy and freak out. �You what?...� Ashley thought for a second, �Oh so you�d rather be having sex than pick up your sister?!� Ashley was so mad that she couldn�t speak. �Ashley I�m sorry, we didn�t intend to forget about you it just happened.� Brandon attempted to rub her belly but Ashley grabbed it and almost broke his wrist. �Just take me home!� Ashley released her hold and they were on their way.

Ashley sat a the table looking down at her food, the words of her mother kept echoing through her head, �You�ve gotten so damn fat � you�re turning into a cow � you don�t want your babies to be as fat as you � would you look at that ass, how can you fit through doors?� she tried to put them out of her head and eat but they just got louder as the fork got closer to her mouth, �I�m not hungry.� Ashley threw down the fork and pushed the plate away. �Are you ok? Do you feel sick?� Brandon leaned over and touched his hand to her forehead. She pushed his hand away and tipped her plate over sending the food all over the table, �Will you just leave me alone I said I�m not hungry!� Ashley got up and hobbled to her room crying. �Is she still mad about you being late?� Lisa looked at Brandon while finishing her food. �I don�t think so. She had a run in with our mother twice while at the hospital.� Brandon started to clean up the mess Ashley had left. �What did she say to her?� Lisa started to help with the mess. �She won�t tell me, but I think it has something to do with her increasing size.� Brandon brought the plates over to the sink. �What is wrong with that lady? Should I go talk to Ashley?� Lisa brought the remaining items from the table over to the sink. �I think right now we should just give her, her space unless she wants to talk. Our mother always gets the better of her.� Brandon turned on the faucet.

�Are you going to eat or are you just going to sit there and stare at you food?� Brandon looked at Ashley who was looking at her plate, pushing her eggs around with her fork. �Huh?� Ashley looked up. �Are you going to eat?� Brandon talked slower. �Oh, no I�m not hungry.� Ashley lied as her stomach growled. �Well if you�re not hungry then we better get going.� Brandon got up and grabbed Ashley�s plate. Ashley grabbed for the plate when Brandon took it away. �Are you going to eat this or not?� Brandon put the plate back in front of her. �Uh,� Ashley thought for a second and then the words of her mother echoed through her head again; �You�ve gotten so damn fat � you�re turning into a cow � you don�t want your babies to be as fat as you � would you look at that ass, how can you fit through doors?�

�No! Just take it away!� Ashley didn�t mean to shout. �Ok then hurry up and get your stuff if you�re not going to eat.� Brandon threw away the food on her plate. Ashley got up and got her things for school.

�Ms. Anderson, could you tell the class who bombed Pearl Harbor?� Mrs. Jensen, the history teacher, singled Ashley out of the class. Ashley sat at her desk with her head back and mouth wide open snoring with a line of drool flowing down her cheek. �Ms. Anderson!� Mrs. Jensen raised her voice. �Huh? George Washington.� Ashley blurted out, wiping the drool off her mouth, as she was awoken from her nap. Everyone in the class started laughing. �Well that would be impossible for George Washington, our very first president, to bomb Pearl Harbor, now wouldn�t it Ms. Anderson?� the teacher glared down at her passed her glasses. �Y-Yes I s-suppose it would.� Ashley looked down at her desk. �Well then do you know the correct answer, Ms. Anderson?� Mrs. Jensen kept her glare focused on Ashley. �Uh that would be Japan.� Ashley looked up to see if her answer was correct. �That�s right. Now what was the date that it happened? Ms. Anderson.� She continued to glare at Ashley. �I-I don�t know.� Ashley replied in a hushed voice looking at her desk. �I�m sorry I couldn�t hear you. Could you repeat that?� Mrs. Jensen got closer to Ashley. �I-I said I don�t know.� Ashley spoke a little louder looking up at the teacher. �Well did you read the chapter that I assigned for homework last night?� Mrs. Jensen glare was starting to get Ashley nervous. �N-No I didn�t.� Ashley tried to look at her. �Well then what was so important that you couldn�t do the homework that I gave you Ms. Anderson?� the teacher seemed to be towering over Ashley now. Ashley sat there trying to get the words to come out of her mouth but the burning glare that she was getting from Mrs. Jensen was preventing her from talking. �Well then instead of sitting on your ass all day getting fatter you should get off it and do the work I give you Ms. Anderson.� Mrs. Jensen turned and walked toward the whiteboard. �Bite me!� Ashley said a little too loud. The whole class didn�t say a word as Mrs. Jensen turned around, �What did you say?� she gave Ashley a stronger glare. �I said BITE ME BITCH!� Ashley was shocked at herself that those words even came out. �Go to the principal�s office now!� Mrs. Jensen spoke very slowly through clenched teeth pointing towards the door. Ashley gathered her things and slowly got up from her desk and out the door.

�Great now what am I going to do? How am I supposed to explain this to Brandon?� Ashley slowly made her way down to the principal�s office. �You�re getting grounded! You�re getting grounded!... Brandon�s going to kill you when he finds out what you said�� the voice in her head was back. �No he�s not just shut up!� A kid walked by as she replied to the voice and gave her a weird look as he passed. �Yeah what are you looking at? I can talk to myself.� She hollered as the kid walked by. �Yeah way to go Ashley making yourself look even more like a fool.�

Ashley opened the door to the office and told the secretary at the desk that she was there to see the principal. The door to Principal Tarr flew opened, �Ms. Anderson in here now!� Principal Tarr pointed inside his office while holding the door open. Ashley slowly walked inside and sat down. �After hearing the story Mrs. Jensen told me I called your brother. He�s unable to get here until after school so I�m letting you go back to your classes until he gets here along with a weeks detention. Is there anything you would like to add?� the Principal looked at Ashley. Ashley was about to speak but just started to cry knowing that once Brandon got there the shit would most likely �hit the fan�. �You know sitting here crying is not going to make me change my mind.� Principal Tarr sat back in his chair, �Why don�t you dry your eyes and go to lunch.� He got up and opened the door after he heard the bell ring. Ashley did what the Principal suggested and walked out the door to the cafeteria.

�What�s this? You starting a new diet?� Andy sat down next to Ashley noticing the small salad in front on her. �Are you calling me fat?! �Cause if you are don�t even start.� Ashley shoved a piece of lettuce in her mouth. Andy sat there for a moment unsure of what to say after the sudden outburst, �Uh, I don�t think I called you fat�� he was trying his best to clear up the situation before Ashley got upset but it was too late. �So you where thinking it and you where implying it weren�t you!� Ashley started crying. Everyone was looking at the two since Ashley shouted loud enough for everyone to hear. Andy looked around nervously trying to come up with something to say, �Ashley, where is this all coming from? Just yesterday you where stuffing your face not caring if you were fat or not. Now why are you getting so worked up about this?� Andy got closer to give her a hug. �I saw my mother yesterday while I was going to that group thing and she just made me realize just how fat I was getting. And now I have detention for a week because of my stupid history teacher.� Ashley cried on Andy�s shoulder, �Who�s going to love me if I get any fatter? I�m sure you can�t stand me anymore. I�m just fat and ugly.� Ashley looked at Andy tears still streaming down her face. �You�re not ugly� Andy was cut short, �So I was right I am too fat. No one loves me anymore.� Ashley pushed away from Andy and put her head on the table. �Ashley let me finish,� Andy pulled her back up so he could look at her; �I�ll love you no matter what size you are. You�re supposed to get fat right now you�re pregnant and that�s what you�re supposed to do when you�re pregnant.� Andy rubbed her belly looking her in the eyes. Ashley stopped crying thinking about what Andy just said and then looked at his tray. �You want my cupcake?� Andy noticed Ashley�s gaze towards his food. Ashley just nodded wiping away the few remaining tears. Andy handed the cupcake over to Ashley only to see it disappear into her mouth. �A-Are you going to eat you�re cheeseburger?� Ashley pointed to Andy�s tray. �I guess you could have it.� Andy reluctantly handed over his food having a flash back to the previous day as he did. �And your pudding and fries?� Ashley pointed to the tray again after she shoved the cheeseburger into her mouth. �Sure, enjoy.� Andy just pushed his tray over to her. �So back to your detention thing, does Brandon know about it yet?� Andy successfully stole a few fries while Ashley was distracted. �I�m not sure what he knows right now but he�s coming by after school to talk with the Principal.� Ashley sucked down the pudding cup. �Well do you want me to wait until you two get out?� Andy quickly grabbed a few more fries. �If you really want to.� Ashley finished the salad that she had put to the side.

Ashley sat in the waiting area of the principal�s office waiting for Brandon to show up. Brandon came in five minutes after Ashley had arrived and sat down next to her. �Are you mad?� Ashley semi looked at her brother. �Somewhat.� Brandon didn�t look at her. �I�m sorry I didn�t mean for it to come out she just wouldn�t leave me alone.� Ashley tried to give him a sideways hug and Brandon just shrugged it off. �Fine then.� Ashley turned away from him and crossed her arms. The Principal called them in after they had waited for ten minutes. Mrs. Jensen was sitting in one of the chairs already. �As you already know Ashley is receiving one week�s detention for her misconduct in her history class. Now I asked you down here because we want to know if there�s anything going on in her family life that might be bothering her, since we know that she no longer lives with your mother and you are the sole provider for her now�� Principal Tarr talked with a demeaning tone in his voice. �Are you questioning my ability to look after my sister?� Brandon was getting offended by his remarks. �Well you are a man and Ashley is a pregnant teenager and well a girl sometimes needs a mother�s guidance in this situation.� The Principal spoke from the little knowledge that he had in this situation. �You want to give my sister detention because she called her teacher a bitch, that�s fine. But stay out of our family life. I�m more than capable of looking after my sister our mother is a vile evil woman that would drag Ashley down to a low as she could get her just to see her miserable� so just stay out of our family life. This meeting is over, let�s go Ashley.� Brandon got up and dragged Ashley out the door.

�So how�d it go?� Andy met them at the exit doors to the school. �Don�t ask. If you�re coming with us just keep up.� Brandon stormed out the door.

�Ashley I�m sorry I blew up like that in there.� Brandon turned to her once everyone was in the car. �It�s ok. Now what�s my punishment from you?� Ashley was ready to feel the wrath. �You are grounded for a week, no TV, no phone, no dessert, no ice cream, no cookies and no Andy.� Brandon looked at Ashley with a stern look on his face. �That�s not fair. How can you deny me food?� Ashley started to get teary eyed then noticed the grin on Brandon�s face. �What�s that look for? You getting pleasure out punishing me now?� Ashley looked at him about to burst out in tears. �I�m only kidding. I should be rewarding you. You gave Mrs. Jensen just what she deserved, I tried to do the same thing when I had her for a teacher but I never had the guts to actually do it.� Brandon patted her on the belly since he couldn�t get to her back. �So you�re not mad?� Ashley didn�t know if she was still grounded or not. �Nope, now let�s go.� Brandon drove off.

�Why are we here?� Ashley asked as they pulled into the hospital parking lot. �Well if you remember me telling you over breakfast, while you were playing with you�re eggs, you�re getting the cast off today.� Brandon turned to her. �Oh yeah I guess I remember you saying something like that. Am I going in alone?� Ashley started to get worried. �Only if you want to.� Brandon rubbed her belly. �Well I don�t so you two have to come with me.� Ashley turned to look at Andy. �Well if that�s what you want.� Andy laughed as he replied.

As the three walked in Jane was talking to one of the people behind the outpatient desk and turned to see who was coming in, �Why Ashley back again so soon.� Jane started. �If you know what�s good for you you�ll shut up and get back to work.� Brandon looked her dead in the eye. �Uh I got to get back to work Mary I�ll talk to you later.� Jane nervously turned and walked away. After Jane had disappeared Brandon checked Ashley in and then went to the proper office to get her cast off.

�Can I get some more?� Ashley held her plate up after she shoved the last remaining strands of spaghetti in her mouth. �You�re still hungry?� Brandon stared at her, spaghetti sauce all over her mouth and shirt. �What wrong with that?� Ashley finished chewing what was left in her mouth. �Nothing, it just you�re going on you�re sixth plate and you haven�t had dessert yet.� Brandon got up and grabbed the plate from her. �Are you calling me fat?!� Ashley was about to cry. �No I�m not, I just find it strange that you don�t eat anything last night and this morning worrying about how fa�� Brandon caught himself before he said the �F� word, �how big you�re getting and now you�re just sitting there stuffing your face.� Brandon piled the food on her plate. �Yeah well Andy snapped me out of that. He�ll love me no matter how fa�� Ashley didn�t want to say the �F� word either, �how big I get. Don�t you?� Ashley turned to him and smiled Andy just nodded since his mouth was full, �And don�t skimp on the meatballs.�

�Oh I�m so stuffed. I don�t think I could eat anything else.� Ashley flopped down on her bed after dinner was over. �Well after twelve plates of spaghetti I can see why.� Andy sat down next to her. �Can you do me a favor?� Ashley asked giving Andy her best sad puppy dog look. �What do you want?� Andy rubbed her belly. �Could you go and get the rest of that cake Lisa made?� Ashley kept the look on her face. �But I though you just said you couldn�t eat any more?� Andy looked at her with a smile. Ashley pulled him closer to her by the collar of his shirt and almost bit his head off, �I know I did but I�m pregnant and I�m having one of those cravings right now.�

�Ok, there�s no need to get angry just let me go and I�ll get it for you.� Andy pulled his shirt out of her hands and walked to the door. �And bring some ice cream while you�re up.� Ashley sat up and shouted to him as he turned the corner. Andy gave a wave to acknowledge what Ashley wanted.

�Hey what are you looking for?� Brandon asked seeing Andy in the freezer. �Oh Ashley wanted some cake and ice cream. Is there any left?� Andy turned around not seeing anything he needed in the freezer. �Sorry were all out of ice cream and I just finished the cake.� Brandon said with as much a straight face as possible. Andy�s face turned white and he started mumbling. Brandon couldn�t hold it in any longer and started laughing, Andy just stood there still white as a ghost, �Hey relax, of course we got ice cream Ashley does live here you know. Just move the frozen broccoli and corn.� Brandon wiped his eyes. �And are you joking about the cake too?� Andy could feel his heart beating faster knowing what would await him if he returned without the cake. �Well� seeing as how you might drop dead right here if you don�t get it�� Brandon let him sweat it out a few seconds longer, �It�s in the fridge.� Andy felt as if a great weight had been lifted off him once he open the fridge and saw the rest of the cake. Andy grabbed what he came out to get and started towards Ashley�s room, �Hey wait take these too.� Brandon handed him a bag of Oreos. �Oh thanks, by the way was there any reason for the ice cream behind the frozen vegetables?� Andy grabbed the bag of cookies from him. �If this type of stuff was in plan view we would have to keep going out and get it every minute with Ashley�s appetite.� Brandon patted Andy on the shoulder and pushed him off to Ashley�s room.

�You know that wasn�t very nice.� Lisa walked up to Brandon after hearing everything from the living room. �What? It�s not like I hurt him or anything� it�s good for him, it�ll make him stronger.� Brandon tried to defend himself. �Well if you think that way then no sex for a week.� Lisa brushed her hand against his cheek and slowly walked away, hips swaying as she did. �But that�s not fair. How does that remotely justify what I did to Andy?� Brandon but on his angry two year old voice stomping his foot. Lisa turned around and started laughing. �You� you are such a mean person.� Brandon got mad at himself for being had. �Hey �it�ll only make you stronger�� Lisa tried her best to imitate Brandon with a smile. Brandon grabbed her and ran to their bedroom with her in his arms.

�So did you get everything?� Ashley sat up rubbing her belly as Andy walked into the room. �Yes I did and a little something extra.� Andy put all the food at the end of the bed showing Ashley the bag of Oreos. �Well are you going to bring them over here so I can eat them or are you just going to sit there staring at it?� Ashley was getting annoyed that the food was at the foot of the bed. �Well why don�t you come and get them down here?� Andy replied in his most seductive voice. ��Cause that would require me getting up from this position.� Ashley crossed her arms. �Fine I�ll bring them up to you one at a time.� Andy started to feed her.

�That really hit the spot.� Ashley rubbed her belly after finishing the ice cream the rest of the cake, that only had about a fourth gone when it first arrived in her room, and the bag or Oreos. �Well what do you want to do now?� Andy cleaned up all the empty packages only to get the reply of snoring from Ashley. �Well I guess that answers my question.� Andy got up and brought the empties to the kitchen and then went into the living room to see if Brandon could give him a ride home, only to see no one was there. Andy was then about to go look for him until he heard the laughter and moaning coming from Brandon and Lisa�s room, �Well looks like I�m walking home.� Andy grabbed his stuff and left.

�So what happened to you last night?� Ashley looked up as Andy was sitting down next to her in the cafeteria at school. �Well you fell asleep and Brandon and Lisa were having some� uh� fun of their own so l left.� Andy unwrapped his cheeseburger trying not to draw attention to it. �Oh yeah sorry about that. I keep going into these food comas after I�m completely full� are you going to eat your cheeseburger?� Ashley bit her upper lip. �You have three of your own.� Andy looked at her mountain of food. �Oh yeah I forgot I had this in front of me.� Ashley looked down at her food and started to eat. �So are you trying to keep up with the skinny girl fashion trend?� Andy noticed how Ashley�s shirt wasn�t coming close to meeting her pants. �Why do you ask?� Ashley was oblivious to what Andy was talking about. �Well you�re giving everyone a nice view of your belly.� Andy poked her exposed belly button. �Yeah about that, I woke up this morning and all my shirts refused to go down any further than this. I blame it all on you.� Ashley took a big bite out of her second burger. �Hey you wanted that stuff and don�t say I could have said �no� because you would have killed me right there if I didn�t give you the food.� Andy �set the record straight�. �Yeah you�re right. Oh before I forget would it be alright if I go over your house after school today?� Ashley asked in her cute smiley face. �Why do you want to go over my house?� Andy started to get nervous. �Well its Brandon and Lisa�s anniversary so they�re going out and won�t be home until later on tonight and I don�t want to be by myself.� Ashley shoved a cupcake in her mouth. �Well I guess,� Andy tried to continue but got the wind knocked out of him as Ashley hugged him too hard in the excitement, �as I was trying to say my parents aren�t all that open-minded and my little sister asks too may questions.� Andy breathed deeply. �Oh I�m sure there�ll be no problem everyone loves me when they get to know me.� Ashley replied in a cheery voice stealing the cupcake from Andy.

�Well here it is.� Andy stood at the beginning of the walkway to his house, not wanting to go in fearing what might happen when his parents finally get a good look at Ashley. �Well are you going to go in or just admire the view?� Ashley snapped him out of his trance. �What? Oh yeah let�s go.� Andy tried not to let the fear enter his voice. �Mom I�m home and I brought a friend too.� Andy but down his bag by the door and took off his coat. �Is it the famous Ashley that we�ve been hearing all about?� his mother, Mary, hollered from the kitchen. �Yes and if you hurry you might get to see her.� Andy took Ashley coat and hung it on the hook next to his. Andy�s whole family came running out of the kitchen to see Ashley. �Well it�s so nice to finally meet you Andy�s told us so much about yo�� Mary went to greet Ashley and stopped talking once she saw all of her. There was a long unsettling silence. �Did you tell them I was pregnant?� Ashley whispered to Andy after they had been standing silent for a minute. �Uh well, funny story about that�� Andy whispered back, stalling. �Andy could we have a word with you in the kitchen?� his mother stared at him in her pissed off mother look. �Ashley, make yourself at home. Oh and keep and eye on Sarah.� Mary talked in a fake happy tone as she dragged Andy into the kitchen.

�So you must be Sarah.� Ashley sat down on the couch in front of Andy�s sister, who was coloring. �Yup.� Sarah kept her gaze on her artwork. �What�s that you�re drawing?� Ashley tried to make small talk. �It�s a tree with people sitting underneath it eating.� Sarah held up her picture, which consisted of a bunch of scribbles and blotches of color. �What�s wrong?� Ashley noticed the look on Sarah�s face like she wanted to say something. �Why are you so fat?� Sarah asked in her five year old bluntness. �Excuse me?� Ashley was taken aback by her comment. �Momma always says that people who don�t expersize and eat a lot get fat bellies. Do you eat a lot?� Sarah dropped her picture and waited for a reply. �Oh, I�m not fat I have babies in my belly.� Ashley tried her best to explain her �condition� to a five year old. �How�d they get in there? Did you eat them?� Sarah asked in her five year old naivety. �Uh no, that�s something you�re parents are going to have to answer for you. Hey you want to feel them move?� Ashley tried to change the subject thinking that Andy�s parents wouldn�t be too happy if she explained the birds and the bees to his little sister. �Sure!� Sarah put down the crayon she had in her hand, completely forgetting about the last topic. As Ashley move Sarah�s hand around the various spots on her belly she could hear Andy and his parents shouting from the other room.

�Dinner�s ready. Sarah get your hand off her!� Mary came walking in to get them for dinner. �It�s alright I don�t mind.� Ashley tried to smooth over the situation. �Yeah well I don�t want her to get any ideas.� Mary grabbed Sarah�s hand away from Ashley belly and pulled her into the other room, Ashley followed behind.

�Your cooking is excellent, although I�m no used to these portions.� Ashley complimented Mary on her cooking skills and commenting on the smallness of the meal. �Yes well it looks like you could live without stuffing your face for one night.� Mary replied in her most insulting tone. Ashley looked at her in shock of her comment and then looked at Andy as if to send him a signal to stick up for her, but he just sat there shoveling mashed potatoes into his mouth, forcing himself not to say anything. �So how far are you into that book for English?� Ashley tried to make small talk since the silence was killing her. �Oh I�m almost done.� Andy didn�t look at her as he replied. �Ok well time for dessert.� Mary got up and gathered all the plates. �Do you need any help?� Ashley offered. �No.� Mary grabbed her plate and walked into the kitchen. Mary came out a few seconds later with four pieces of chocolate cake and gave one to everyone at the table then looked at Ashley, �Oh sorry where all out of cake. If I had known you where coming I would have made more.� Mary sat down talking in an unconcerned tone. �She can have mine.� Andy was pushing his plate towards Ashley. �You take that back that�s for you! She�s fat enough as it is and she doesn�t need it!� Mary almost jumped over the table to get the cake away from Ashley. Ashley sat there on the verge of tears looking at Andy, who was sitting there biting his lower lip, trying to get him to say something. �I-I think I should go now.� Ashley got up from the table. �I should have just stayed home.� Ashley said under her breath as she walked to the front door to get her things. Andy followed her out the door. �Ashley, where are you going?� Andy chased after her. �I�m going home, were I should have gone today.� Ashley stopped walking and turned around, tears streaming down her face, �Why didn�t you say anything? Why�d you just let her insult me like that?� Ashley waited for an answer. �I�I can�t tell you�� Andy looked down at his feet then up at her, �How are you getting home?�

�I don�t know; I�ll take the bus I guess.� Ashley stopped crying for a moment. �All the buses stop going at this time.� Andy noted. �Then I�ll take a cab.� Ashley though of the next means of public transportation. �But you don�t have any money.� Andy shot down her other idea. �Then I guess I�ll just have to walk then!� Ashley turned around and started walking away. �But you live ten miles from here you�ll never make it.� Andy followed right behind her. �Why do you care if I walk home? Why are you suddenly looking out for me now that you�re out of the house? Just go away and leave me alone!� Ashley started crying again. �I�m not going to just leave you out here.� Andy continued to follow her.

�That�s odd.� Lisa noted. �What�s that? Brandon asked as they were driving down the street on their way to dinner. �That pregnant girl walking down the street looks a lot like Ashley.� Lisa moved forward in her seat to get a better look. �Wait that is Ashley and she�s crying. Stop the car Brandon.� Lisa grabbed onto his arm to get him to slow down.

�Ashley what are you doing out here?� Lisa got out of the car and walked up to her. �Why don�t you ask asshole back there maybe he�ll tell you.� Ashley buried her face into Lisa�s shoulder and started sobbing. �Oh� its ok, it�ll be alright. Let�s get you in the car.� Lisa was caught off guard from the sudden meltdown. Lisa walked her to the car and got in the backseat with her. �What�s going on?� Brandon turned around in his seat as they got in the car, Lisa shrugged her shoulder and went back to consoling Ashley. They were about to leave when Andy walked up to the car, �I�� He was going to explain what happened but the look on Brandon�s face made him stop and just walk back to his house with his head hung low.

�What happened over there?� Lisa thought it was a good time to start talking since Ashley was calming down. �Oh nothing, I was just being constantly insulted by Andy�s mother while he sat idly by� why are you two all dressed up?� Ashley got a good look at them for the first time since they picked her up, �� great I screw up everything, now your anniversary dinner is a messed up because of me.� Ashley remembered then started crying again. �Oh you didn�t screw anything up we all ready ate and we where just heading home.� Lisa lied. �Really?� Ashley looked up wiping away the tears. �Yes, and we were going to stop for ice cream too, if you want to that is.� Brandon chimed in lying also. �Well I could go for something like that.� Ashley smiled.

�� so she refused to give me a pieces of cake while calling me fat at the same time.� Ashley shoved the last spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. �And Andy didn�t say anything at all and he wouldn�t tell you what went on in the conversation that he had with his parents?� Brandon was making sure he got all the sides to the story. �Well it looked like he wanted to say something but was holding it back,� Ashley sat back as the waitress came by to get the empty ice cream cups, �oh could I get another one of these?� Ashley pointed to her empty sundae cup. �Ashley you�ve already had three�� Brandon looked at the empty cup then at her. Ashley was making the �about to cry and make a big scene face�, �Oh alright,� Ashley was still making the same face, �Could she get another one but with an extra scoop of ice cream,� he looked up at the waitress and then back at Ashley to see if that was ok with her but she was still making the same face with tears slowly creeping out of her eyes. Brandon turned back to the waitress, �You better make that a large with two extra scoops of ice cream and extra hot fudge.� Brandon looked back at Ashley who was smiling and slightly bouncing in her seat.

�Why did I have to go for that tenth sundae?� Ashley sat back after finishing her latest sundae. �Well you wanted it. Who am I to stop you?� Brandon tried to get Ashley worked up. �Just shut up and help me up.� She punched him in the arm once he got close enough.

The following morning Ashley woke up early and didn�t want to move, having an ice cream hang over, so she just laid in bed staring up at the ceiling regretting that she ate so much last night.

Andy paced back and forth at the front door to her house, with a box of fudge in one hand and a bouquet of flowers in the other, gathering up the courage of knocking on the door.

Ashley turned to look at her alarm clock, still unable to do anything but regret all that ice cream, to see that she still had an hour and a half before she had to get up and get ready for school, but then realized that it was Saturday so she looked back up at the ceiling and smiled knowing that she could be lazy all day. Then she heard a knock on the front door but thought nothing of it.

Brandon answered the door, �Oh it�s you.� He just stood there waiting for some type of apology but not really wanting to listen to him. �Do you realize that she went and ate ten ice cream sundaes because of you?� Brandon got tired of waiting for him to speak. �How did I have anything to do with that?� Andy finally spoke. �Because of the way you treated her last night!� Brandon shouted loud enough to wake a few neighbors.

�Oh great it sounds like Andy�s here. I should just lie here and let Brandon rip him apart but then there�d be a big mess.� Ashley struggled out of bed and waddled out to the front door.

�I�m really sorry about that about everything that happened yesterday, I truly am. My parents told me that if I said anything last night they would kick me out and take away the money that they had saved to sending me to college. I let my parents control me and I shouldn�t have. I love you sister very much, now can I just talk to her, please?� Andy looked Brandon straight in the face as a tear fell from his eye. �It�s ok Brandon I can handle this.� Ashley pushed him away. �Ok then you know where to find me if you need me.� Brandon walked away. �So how much did you hear?� Andy looked down too afraid to look at her. �I heard enough but what makes you think coming here early in the morning is going to make everything alright?� Ashley stood there waiting for an answer. �Ok well because I brought you fudge and flowers and I really do love you and I�m sorry I didn�t stick up for you and well� I have no place to live anymore.� Andy looked up to see if what he was saying was working. �You had me at �fudge�� Ashley smiled as she grabbed the box from him, �Wow its heavy.�

�Yeah it�s ten pounds.� Andy replied matter-of-factly. �Are you trying to make me fat?� Ashley asked with a playful grin on her face. �What would you do if I said yes?� Andy was getting confused with all her mood swings unsure if that smile was a happy smile or a I�m gonna rip your head off and shove it down your throat for trying to bribe me kind of smile. �Well I�d have to send you to my room for being such a bad boy and show you where all this fudge is going to go.� Ashley shoved a chunk of fudge in her mouth. Andy gulped knowing what was about to happen, �Well then I guess I am.� Andy was just able to finish his sentence when Ashley grabbed him and dragged him into the house.

�Well I guess that didn�t go well. Brace yourself for the water works.� Brandon turned to Lisa in the kitchen after hearing the front door slam. �Brandon we�re going to my room and won�t be out for awhile. Don�t bother us.� Ashley streaked by dragging Andy right behind her, �God help me.� Andy waved to Brandon with a big smile on his face. �Alright well you to have fun.� Brandon didn�t know what to say, �Were we ever that horned up and confused like the two of them when we were their age?� Brandon pulled her close. �What are you talking about �were� we still are.� Lisa replied with a big smile on her face. Brandon smiled back and threw her on the table. That morning the part of the neighborhood that wasn�t awoken from the yelling Brandon was giving Andy was awoken from the banging and moaning coming from their house.

�Oh will you to stop it! You�re making me sick.� Brandon looked to the couch on his right in the living room to see the two of them looking at each other with big smiles on their faces. �Huh? What? Did you say something Brandon?� Ashley shook her head and turned to look at him with the smile still on her face. �I said stop looking at each other�HEY! You better get that shirt back on or you�ll be grounded for the next month.� Brandon threatened. Ashley pulled her shirt back down and started making out with Andy only to have the shirt come back off. Brandon shut the TV off and stood up once the shirt made its way over on top of his head, �Alright that�s it, Ashley sit over here next to me and put your shirt back on.� Brandon bent over handing the shirt to Ashley. �That�s not fair�� Ashley was going to continue to complain but Brandon stopped her. �Get in the chair now.� Brandon said as sternly as he could. �Fine!� Ashley threw her shirt back on then got up and hobbled over to the chair.

After they had settled Andy in, since Brandon let him move in with them they all sat down for lunch. �I hate you Andy.� Ashley turned to him rubbing her belly. �What why?� Andy had no idea what was going on. �You made me eat all that fudge and now I can even think about food.� Ashley took a bite off her second homemade cheeseburger. �Huh? You�re eating right now and besides you�re the one that kept shoving them in your mouth.� Andy was so confused his brain started to hurt. �Just because I say I can�t think of food doesn�t mean I can�t eat it.� Ashley inhaled the rest of the burger. �Andy don�t think too hard about it your head will explode.� Brandon jumped in seeing Andy was about burst a few brain cells.

After the meal Ashley feel into one of her food comas while still sitting at the table. Everyone else went around and cleaned up the mess when they heard a knock on the door. Brandon went over and opened it to see that it was the chief of police standing there, trying to look as sad as possible without bursting into laughter, with two other officers. �What can I do for you?� Brandon wasn�t sure what was going on. �Well there�s been a terrible-� the chief let a snort of laughter squeeze by, �a terrible accident.� He finished clearing his throat, trying to stop from laughing. �What kind of accident?� Brandon was starting to get worried. �Well at around six this morning you�re mother was driving to work and-� the chief turned away and started laughing hysterically �Ah what the police chief is trying to say is that your mother died in a car accident this morning and the house she was living in collapsed by what seem to be the weight of your sister, killing her as well.� the officer that was standing next to the chief finish. There was a pause where everyone looked at each other then burst out laughing. �What�s going on?� Ashley wobbled up to the door being awoken from all the laughter. �Mom and Amanda died.� Brandon answered while laughing. Once Ashley heard the news she joined in on the laughing. �There�s going to be a big parade tomorrow and we want you to be in it.� The chief finally calmed down and told them more good news.

After hearing the news of Jane�s passing Alex showed up the next day to see Ashley. He couldn�t stay long since he had gotten another girl pregnant and where going to get married in a few days.

After Ashley and Andy graduated high school they got married and two years after that they welcomed 35 babies into the world, since the two of them couldn�t keep their hands off each other. They moved into a mansion after Andy had won the biggest jackpot it lottery history, $500 billion, and lived a very happy easy life.

Brandon and Lisa finally had the family they always wanted by having four consecutive sets of triplets all in a row, setting and breaking several world records.
