"Look Ju, we need to talk." Tiffany said. I hated when
she did that, it was like the beginning of a fight or
something I knew I was going to regret knowing later.
"About?" I hesitated to ask.
"I wanted to tell you last night, but you were
being so romantic and we had the most wonderful sex, I
just couldn't," I hated when she stalled. It drove me
insane, "Anyhoo, Justin I'm pregnant too."
My heart fell to the floor, I was so terrified
of the words 'and it's not yours' to escape her lips
next, "It's mine right?"
"Justin! How could you say that?" She shot up,
she looked really indignant and disgusted that I said
that, and I trust her, I really do, but she's done it
before, and this whole thing with Nina, Joey, and
Lance, I didn't know, "Of course it's yours."
"I'm sorry baby, it's this whole thing with Nina
and Joe, it's not you, I promise." I stood up to give
her a hug. Her emerald green eyes were deep in
desolation. I wrapped her in my arms and kissed her
head. She nuzzled her face into my arm.
"Are you happy?" She asked.
"Of course I am sweetheart." I was too, I love
kids and I think it's about time Alexis got a little
brother or sister.
"I haven't told anyone, not even my mom." She
said tearing her face out of my chest to look up at
me.
"Alright." I said.
"Let's keep it quiet until Nina, Lance, and Joey
get this thing figured out." It was like Tiffany
actually cared for Nina. I didn't understand it.
"Tiff." I said.
"Yes babe?" She said taking herself to the
fridge.
"You and Nina. Friends?" I asked.
She turned to face me and gave me an odd look,
"She needs a female friend right now, someone who
knows how to really help her, and I'm not going to be
selfish and put silly words in the way of
companionship that is desperately needed."
"I'm happy for you." I smiled. The phone
quickly ended our conversation, so I went to answer
it, "Hello?"
"Justin?" I heard the voice on the other end
say.
"This is him, who is this?" I asked. The voice
sounded unfamiliar.
"It's Nina." Nina sounded weird. Probably
because she had been crying.
"Oh hey, what's up baby doll, how are you?" I
asked.
"I'm shitty, hey, um, Tiff wouldn't happen to be
there would she?" Nina asked.
"Um, yeah she is, hold on," It was strange
getting the phone for Tiffany while Nina was on the
other end waiting patiently to spill her guts to my
wife, "Tiff, it's for you."
"Hello?" I heard her say into the phone. The
conversation went along with a lot of 'uh huh' 'what'
'no' yes' 'mm hmm' you know. Tiffany finally hung up
the phone and looked at me. She shook her head; "She
wants me to tell Joe for her."
"Why can't she do it?" I asked.
"She's scared Ju, she's terrified." Tiffany
said.

"JC what color?" Lance said holding up the three
shirts, one was blue, one was green, and the other was
pink. JC laughed, he really wanted to blurt out 'you
are so gay' but he simply smiled and pointed at the
blue shirt, "Thanks."
"Yeah," JC said, "Why so picky about what to
wear?"
"I don't know it seems like everything I do
lately has been confusing." Lance said honestly. It
was true. He shouldn't be upset because of the whole
Joey thing, he was with JC, but it was driving him
nuts. He had to speak with Nina.
"Well what time are you coming home?" JC asked.
"Um, I don't know, why?" Lance asked moving his
stuff around.
"Well I want to make you dinner." JC said.
Lance walked over to his boyfriend and placed a kiss
on his lips.
"You're so sweet, I love you, I will call you
when I am on my way home." Lance said.
"Alright, Love you too, bye." JC said as he
watched Lance leave the room.
Lance climbed in his car and drove to Nina's
house. When he pulled up he saw Joey's car sitting
outside. This infuriated him. Lance got out of the
car and walked up to Nina's door. He knocked hard he
was pissed. Joey opened the door with Nina behind
him.
"Come in Lance." Joey said opening the door.
"Don't talk to me Joey." Lance walked past Joey.
"Lance please, just sit down." Nina said.
Lance, Joey, and Nina walked into Nina's living
room and sat down. They all watched each other for a
little while. Disgust coated Lance's features.
Throughout high school, junior high, and elementary
school Lance always got along with Joey the best.
Finally Nina decided to speak up.
"Look I asked you both to be here because I have
to tell you guys something." Nina said glaring at her
fingers. She was so afraid. Lance was already mad at
her, but she should be mad at him. There was too much
anger.
"What?" Lance said.
Tears began to build up in Nina's eyes but she
tried hard to hold them back, "Look you guys, I'm
pregnant."
"What?" Lance said.
"It's Joey's." Nina finished.
"Well no shit! We haven't had sex in months."
Lance said. Joey sat there and watched the two. He
couldn't believe what was just said.
"Nina." Joey finally spoke up.
"What Joe?" Nina asked.
"Not to sound like I'm saying it's not mine, or
that I don't want it, but we just had sex about a week
ago, how do you know so soon?" Joey asked.

"How are you Chris?" Amy asked.
"I'd be way better if you'd let me take you
out." Chris raised his eyebrows.
"Chris you know the policy on doctors dating
patients. It's frowned upon to the 10th power." Amy
said wrapping her hair into a tight bun.
"I'm not going to be a patient much longer."
Chris said.
"What?" Amy's blue eyes left her paper and
eventually met Chris's.
"I'm being released on Tuesday." Chris smiled.
"Really?" Amy was completely interested in
Chris. Throughout the 4 years she's known him she
knew he wasn't insane. He was lonely. He had been in
love and had never opened his feelings to the one
person that meant the most to him. She knew him
better than he knew himself.
"Yep! Them I'm a free single male." Chris jumped
up.
"You forgot horney." Amy laughed.
"Man, I wasn't trying to sound like I just
wanted sex," Chris jumped to Amy's side and pushed his
excited face towards hers and lifted his eye brows,
"Unless you wanna, you know, get a little freaky!"
"Christopher Kirkpatrick!" Chris loved when Amy
said his full name. His smile extended.
"So will you do me the honors of going out with
me on Friday night?" Chris asked trying to sound
desperate.
"Yes Chris, I will." Amy wanted to date him for
a long time, but she knew she couldn't.
