"Mom, Mac were are you?" I yelled as Dillon, Maxie and I walked into the house. Mac was sitting at the kitchen table going over some papers. He got up and came into the livingroom where we were at just as my mom came down the stairs.
"What's wrong?" Mac asked concerned.
"Nothing. But guess what we found out today." I said barely being able to hold it back any longer.
"What? How was the appointment?" Mom asked as she came down off the stairs and stood in front of me.
"That is what I want to tell you guys, today at the hospital when I went to the bathroom Dillon convinced Dr. Meadows to tell him the sex of the baby. When I found out that he knew I was really mad and we argued about it but anyways I wanted to know so he told me." I said as I looked excitedly back and forth between the two of them.
"Well don't stop there, tell me!" Mom said as she grabbed my hands and held them.
"It's a girl." I said as mom started crying and hugged me. I looked over at Mac and he was smiling, like a kid in a candy store.
"I thought you didn't want to know?" She asked as she pulled back from our hug and held me at arms length.
"Well I didn't but once I knew that Dillon knew, then I wanted to know." I said as I laughed at how weird that statement sounded.
"Now we've got so much to do. We can get her clothes and not any more of those unisex outifits." She said as she sighed with relief.

Later on that night Mac and my mom had to go to a benefit helping raise money for the police station and an increase in pay role for the people that worked there.
"Don't trash the house while we are gone." Mom said as she came down the stais in a black satin dress trying to put in her earrings. Mac was waiting impatiently at the door.
"Come on, it starts in 30 minutes. It is going to take us that long just to get there." Mac said as he looked down at his watch for the millionth time.
"Chill out. I'm done. Bye, we'll be back late." She said as she came over and hugged us all goodbye. Once we heard the car pull out of the driveway we all stared at each other and then jumped up. Maxie and I ran, well I wobbled and she ran, into the kitchen, while Dillon looked for some movies to watch. We grabbed every snack and or sweet thing that we could find and brought it all into the livingroom. This had become a tradition since Dillon had moved in. Whenever Mac and mom would leave at night for a few hours we would sit in the livingroom and eat and watch movies until we all fell asleep.
"What movie are we watching tonight?" Maxie asked as me and her pulled the sofa bed out and threw all the blankets on top then climbed up. I sat in the middle with Maxie on my right, leaving room for Dillon to sit.
"Pretty In Pink." He said as he put the DVD in and carefully sat down next to me, making sure he didn't spill anything from the countless bowls and bags spread around us.
"Yay, my favorite." I said in triumph.
"I've never seen it before." Maxie said as Dillon and I looked at her incredulously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh this is my favorite part. When Duckie gets shoved into the girls bathroom." I said as we all got quiet.
"Wait a minute. We don't have none of this stuff in the boys' room. Wait a minute. We don't got none of this. We don't got doors on the stalls in the boys' room. We don't have--what is this? [tampon machine]--we don't have a candy machine in the boys' room. We don't got none of that, none of that."
"What an idiot." Maxie said laughing.
"Yea but he is my favorite. Gotta love Duckie. He is so cute." I said.
"No Blane is much better looking than Duckie." Maxie said as she ate some M&M's.
"How can you say that, he isn't even funny, he is just THERE to be there. Duckie is the hopeless romantic and will do anything to get Andy to notice him." I said. Just then Dillon held his hands up to get our attention.
"Are we really having this conversation? And what in the hell are you eating?" He asked as he looked at me. He looked like he was going to be sick.
"What, it's a pickle with peanut butter, M&M's and skittles."I said as if that was something that people normally ate everyday.
"That is so gross." Maxie said as she watched me eat it.
"Ohh come on, don't watch me while I eat. Sorry but it hits all of my tastebuds at once and what the baby wants the baby gets. It is very good wanna try." I asked as I put it up to Dillon's mouth. He quickly closed his lips and pinched his nose so he wouldn't smell it.
"That is just sick." He said once I took it away from him.
"Oh shut up. You wouldn't know." I said as I continued to eat the pickle with it's various toppings. Once we were done eating we cleaned all of the food up and then continued watching the movie. We all changed into our pajamas before we started the next movie which was "The Goonies" another 80's classic in it's own right. The day had been long and I knew none of us would last till the end of the movie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mac and Felicia Arriving Home~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Felicia's P.O.V}
"I can't believe the PCPD got all that money, it was almost triple what it got last year." I said as we walked up to he door.
"That tends to happen when you have two of the richest families in town competing with each other." Mac said as we both laughed and walked in to the livingroom. The sight we saw wasn't too much of a suprise considering this was how it was everytime we came home from being out at night. The television was fuzzy with TV 'snow' from whatever movie that they had been watching had been done for a while. I went around the couch to turn the TV and VCR off. Maxie, Dillon and Georgie were all asleep on the sofabed. Maxie and Georgie were huddled together under a couple blankets. Dillon on the other hand was slightly sitting against the back of the couch with nothing to cover him up besides what he was wearing, he must have been freezing. Georgie had her head resting on his chest and his arm was wrapped around her protectively. Their hands joined on her stomach.
Just then I saw Georgie as the fifteen year old girl she was before I went to Texas. She had grown up so much in a few short years and I had missed it. She was now 18 and Maxie was 20. Maxie had decided to attend PCU for a few years so she could stay at home. Georgie would be graduating this year. She would actually have a baby before she would graduate.
"We need to get them to their rooms." Mac said as he looked down at the three of them sleeping peacefully. Maxie was on the other side of Georgie facing away from her on her other side.
"They are fine, leave them alone." I told him as I grabbed a blanket from the hallway closet and laid it over Dillon. He stirred but only hugged Georgie closer to him. I could tell Mac didn't like that idea too well.
"Look at her. She looks so happy." I said as I pointed to Georgie. She moved and put her arm around Dillon'd waist.
"Look at that. I'd say she is a little too comfortable with him." Mac whispered angrily.
"Good lord Mac, he isn't even under the sheets and I think it is safe to say that they won't be making that same mistake again. Not until they know they are ready. You know, she isn't a little girl anymore. You should be proud that she told us and wants to keep us involved. You should also be proud that Dillon and her are being so mature about this. There were a lot of other things they could have done but they have made the right decisions." I said as I went into the kitchen and Mac followed me.
"It isn't Georgie I am worried about. It is Dillon. What does he know about being a father and taking care of Georgie and their baby?" He asked point blank.
"What did you know? What did I know? What does anyone know? You learn as it comes. Dillon is a good kid, if you would open your eyes you would see that. He means well and he loves Georgie whether you like it or not." I said as I got a glass of juice and walked towards the stairs. As far as I was concerned this conversation was over and if I had anything to do with it, wouldn't be brought up again. I walked by the three of them sleeping one last time. There was still an innocence about all of them even after everything they had all been through. But their was also a grown up feel to them as well. Then I knew that they would be able to handle what was about to hit them head on.
