Chapter 2

 

"So, you wanna go straight back home or go out for a bite to eat?" I asked, as we got outta the clinic. "I wanna go home." Nick sighed. "Alright babe" I said. We walked to our car that was parked right across the street. "I'll drive, coz you don't feel so well." I said. "No, you don't even have your driverslicence yet, Libra." Nick said. "But..." I tried. "No Libra, I know you mean well but I'll drive." Nick said. "Alright mom." I said. Nick became quiet and sat behind the wheels. "Hey, it was a joke." I said, as I sat next to him in the passengers seat. "Libra..." Nick said as he started up the engine of the car. "What sweetie?" I asked. Nick gently drove outta the parking place and drove his way on the road. Watching him drive was always eye candy for me. I dunno why, but Nick behind the wheels is a total turn on. "Remember that young couple in the waiting room?" Nick asked me, as he kept his eyes on the road. "Yeah, they're pregnant and the woman was very exited about it. I sure remember that." I said. "Why?" Nick stopped at a red-turning stoplight. "Ya know, they asked if we were pregnant too... But I... Well, why would she ask such a thing? Do I look pregnant?" I asked Nick. Nick sighed, "No, you don't look pregnant to me." he said. "Well I sure don't feel pregnant. Besides, I'm 17 turning 18, I'm kinda young to be expecting a baby, ain't I?" I said. "I don't even have the symptoms of a pregnant woman." Nick looked at me, and then at the stoplight that was turning green again and drove further. "Libra... I've been barfing and feeling confused and weird for 3 months now... And when I saw that pregnant couple..." Nick softly said. "What?" I asked patiently. "Well, don't pregnant woman barf and have mood swings too?" Nick asked. "Yes, that's what that young couple was talking about." I said. "Well, this might sound weird but..." Nick stammered, "What if I'm pregnant?" It took me a while before those words got thro to me. "Pregnant? You? Ghaha! OMG Nick, you crack me up! For a second you had me." I laughed. Nick looked very angry at me. "What!?" I asked. He looked back at the road, noticing our house. "So you think I was kidding?" Nick asked. "Well, weren't you?" I asked. Nick parked the car in the garage of our house and sat still. "You're serious, aren't you?" I asked a little worried. "Think about it Libra... I eat weird stuff, I barf and I act crazy... And all after that weird nite when you and I had sex and got struck by lighting." Nick said, a little hysterical. "You mean to say that you're pregnant? But how... What...?" I asked. "It had to be something to do with the lightning." Nick said. "So in other words... I knocked you up?" I said, a little confused. "Well, yeah you could say you did." Nick said. "But... Huh?" I stuttered. I got all messed up a little now.

We walked into the kitchen. Nick sat down at the kitchen table. "But we're not sure, are we?" I said then, after a long silence. "No, but I guess the blood tests will clear it out for us." Nick said. "And what if Doctor Sinfruend will go to the press if turns out you really are pregnant?! I can see the headlines now; Nick Carter Pregnant From 17 Year Old Gurlfriend?!" I said as I walked to the fridge. "So I embarrass you now?" Nick asked. "What?" I asked. "Well..." I heard Nick softly say. "If turns out I really am pregnant and it comes in the news and the papers everywhere... I'd probably embarrass you wouldn't I?" I could hear that Nick was silently crying. "Baby," I said, as I grabbed some orange juice and 2 glasses and walked over to Nick and sat across him. "How could you embarrass me? I won't ever, and I mean never, feel embarrassed coz of you. You know why? Coz you're not an embarrassment, okay? And if you really are pregnant I will stand by you all the way!"  I said. "Really?" Nick asked, as he wiped his tears outta his eyes. "Really." I said, as I kissed Nick on his forehead. "I love you." Nick said. "I love you to babe." I said. "Wanna get it on?" Nick asked, with a grin on his face. "Are you sure you can handle that? I mean, you may be pregnant and all..." I said. Nick looked at his stumach and took a deep breath. "I dunno... Don't pregnant women have sex?" Nick asked. "I dunno Nick, most pregnant women don't really think about having sex..." I said. Nicks face suddenly turned a little green. "OMG Nick, lemme get a bucket." I said, as I run to 1 of the closets in the kitchen, grabbed a bucket outta it and ran back to Nick, holding the bucket under his nose. And just in time, coz Nick immediately started barfing. I stroke Nick on his back and neck as he barfed.

            After 10 maybe 15 minutes of barfing, I helped Nick clean himself up and put him in bed. "You're so sweet Libra, thank you." Nick said, as I pulled the blankets on him. "Hey, anything for my Nicky-poo." I said as I gave Nick a quick kiss right next to his lips. At that moment the door rang. "I'll check who that is. You be okay in here?" I asked Nick. Nick nodded. "Good, Libra will be downstairs. Just give me a ring with this cellphone if you feel you need me, okay?" I said, as I grabbed his mobilephone and put it on the desk next to his bed. "Okay Libra, thanx." Nick replied as he pulled the blankets closer to him. I slowly left the room on my toes, checking 1 last time. "Just go, otherwise they'll be gone." Nick said giggling.

The doorbell rang again and I ran to the door and opened it. AJ and Howie were standing on the front porch. "Hey guys, wassup?" I asked. "Well, we heard Nick was sick and we wanted to know how he was doing." Howie said. "Aw, how sweet of you... Nick is really sick, he's in bed to catch some rest right now." I said, as I let the 2 in the house. "He's sick for 3 months now, what is he having?" AJ asked. "We went to the doctors this morning and he took some blood tests. We 1st thought it was just a flu, but 3 months is way to long for the flu to me." I said.

We walked over to the livingroom and sat down in the long couch. "You guys want something to drink?" I asked. "Yeah, some beer for me." AJ said. "And you Howie?" I asked Howie. "Some tea would be nice." he replied. "Alright, coming up." I said, as I got up and went to get a beer and some tea in the kitchen. Suddenly my mobilephone rang. I checked on the display and it said "Nicks mobile". "Yes Nicky-poo?" I asked as I picked up the phone. "Are those AJ and Howie?" Nick asked. "Yeah." I replied. "Cool, I wanna go downstairs and say hi." Nick said. "No, you're staying in bed Nick." I said. "Aw..." Nick whined. "I'll try and ask if they wanna come upstairs to see you, okay? Now stay in bed and get some rest." I said. "Okay..." Nick sighed. "Need anything else?" I asked. "No, that'll be all..." Nick replied softly.

I got back in the livingroom with a cold beer and some vanilla tea for AJ and Howie. "Here you guys, sorry I took a little long. I tolled Nick to call me on my cellphone if he thinx he needs something and he called me... He wants to go downstairs to say hi to you guys, the booboo." I said. "Booboo?" AJ asked." Sorry, ghihi." I giggled a bit shy. "Well, why don't we go upstairs and say hi to him then? Poor guy could use some cheering up!" Howie said. "If you like, you'd make Nick so happy if you did." I said.

            I took Howie and AJ to our bedroom, where Nick was sitting straight up in bed. "Hi guys!" he said enthusiastic. "Hey Nicky, are you okay?" AJ asked as he sat in a chair next to Nick’s bed. "Yeah, I just feel a little sick that's all." Nick said. "But I see Libra is taking good care of you, so things should be getting better soon for you." Howie said, as he took a chair next to AJ. "Yeah, Libra is my sweetie." Nick said as he let me sit on the edge of the bed. "Kevin and Brian said hi. They wanted to come too, but couldn't coz of their wives ya know." AJ said. "That's nice, I understand." Nick said. "Say, you gained a little weight, haven't you?" Howie asked. Nick looked at his stumach. "Yeah well..." Nick sighed. "So atleast you're eating." AJ said. Nick looked at me. "Like I said, Libra takes good care of me." he quickly said. "Do you think you'll be better next month? We're touring the 2nd leg of our US tour by then." Howie said. "I'll try." Nick replied. "But don't force yourself, okay? Coz whatever it is you're having, it must be serious. You're sick for what, 3 months now?! Barfing and all that crap... If you weren't a guy I'd be thinking you were pregnant!" AJ said, followed with laughter from Howie and himself. Nick and I looked at eachother. "Haha, very funny." Nick then said. "Come on, it was just a joke Nick." AJ said. Nick looked at AJ. "Alright, I'm sorry." AJ said. "You literally both almost fainted when AJ said pregnant!" Howie giggled. Nick and I just looked at eachother. "Should we tell 'em?" Nick whispered to me. "You're not even sure if it's true." I said. "What are you whispering about?" AJ asked. Nick and I looked at eachother and then at AJ and Howie. "I think I know what's going on..." Howie said. "You do?" I asked. "Yes, I do." Howie said. Nick and I looked kinda stressful at eachother now. "Libra's pregnant, that's why they acted all jumpy when you said the word pregnant." Howie said. "You are?" AJ asked. "I am?" I asked. I looked at Howie, at AJ and then at Nick. "Yes, ehm... Well it's not sure but I might be..." I stammered. "I knew it!" Howie said. "But why is Nick gaining weight too then?" AJ asked. "It's normal, some guys eat allong with their pregnant women. My dad did it too." Howie said. "Really?" AJ asked. "Well, then we should allow you 2 some rest. And Nick, you should be taking care of your pregnant gurl now." AJ said. "Yeah yeah..." Nick sighed. "My God Nick! You're gonna be a daddy! And even before Kevin or Brian!" Howie said. "Yeah..." Nick sighed. "But don't tell them yet... It's not even sure IF I'm pregnant." I said. "Sure, we'll keep our mouths shut." AJ said. "Promise?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll make sure AJ tha chatterbox will keep this a secret." Howie said, as he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Aw, alright then." I said. AJ and Howie got up from their chairs. "Well, then we're off now." AJ said. "So soon?" Nick whined. "Yeah, you 2 need your rest. We'll call you guys later, okay? And let us know when stuff are certain." Howie said. "We will." I said, as I got up from bed. "No, don't trouble yourself, we know where the door is." AJ said. "No, I wanna led you out. I'm not cripple you know." I said. "Alright, stubborn lady." Howie said.

After I showed AJ and Howie the door, I went back to Nick and sat next to him on the bed. "Thanx for lying for me." Nick said. "Hey, anytime." I said. "I mean, I would probably just make a fool outta myself if I tolled them I was pregnant?" Nick said. "Probably yeah... Unless we had proof." I said. "Yeah, but like you said... what if Doctor Sinfruend will go to the media with this? I mean, it is easy money." Nick said. "But we're not even sure IF you're pregnant at all." I said. "But what if I am!" Nick said, as he started crying. "My God Libra, what if I really am pregnant?! Men aren't build to get pregnant!" I put my arms around him and let him cry on my shoulder. "Nicky, I'll call Doctor Sinfruend about it if you like. I'll call him and say you think you're pregnant and that you want it to stay a secret. And that if he tells anyone you will sue him till he's broke. You'd like me to do that?" I asked. "Yeah..." Nick said, trying to stop crying. "What the fuck is wrong with me?!" Nick yelled. "I'm crying like a freaking pussy!" "Hey, I find it very brave that you dared to cry in front of me. So you're not a pussy okay!" I said, as I looked up and looked him straight in his eyes. "Whatever." Nick sighed as he went and pulled the blanket all over him. "I'll call Doctor Sinfruend right now okay? Just stay calm. IF you're pregnant this entire tension isn't good for you or the baby. So stay calm!" I said, as I got up from bed. "Okay." Nick sighed. "Stay cool Nick." I said. "Yeah! I'll just sit here and sleep so I won't be a burden." Nick shouted.

I went to the phone, which was hanging on the wall in the hallway and dialed Doctor Sinfruends number. **pring pring** It sounded on the phone. "Sinfruend." it sounded. "Yeah, good afternoon Doctor Sinfruend, this is Libra." I said. "Good afternoon Libra, how is Nick doing?" Doctor Sinfruend asked. "Well, that's it Doctor... Ehm... How do I say this? When a woman is throwing up allot and has mood swings, she's probably pregnant... Right?" I asked. "Yes, throwing up and mood swings are symptoms of being pregnant." Doctor Sinfruend replied. "Then Nick is having symptoms of a pregnant woman... I mean, he's eating strange things like tomato with whip cream and barfs allot... He has mood swings. In the past few hours Nick has been hysterical, hyperactive and extremely angry. I'm wondering if Nick might be pregnant..." I said. It was very quiet on the other side of the line for a while. "Ghahahaha! Libra, you're 17 and probably are sexual active with Nick... You do know that a man can never get pregnant, do you!?" Doctor Sinfruend said. "I know it sounds weird and I started laughing about it myself when I 1st thought about it... But these past few hours have been so weird, ya know." I said. "What if, coz of the lightning, something weird happened and instead of me getting pregnant Nick got pregnant. Like in, maybe I was supposed to get pregnant that nite, but becoz of the lightning stuff kinda switched. You said yourself that with lightning strange stuff can happen with people." I said. "Yes... But I meant like, people who suddenly think they hear voices... Maybe Nick thinx he's pregnant coz of the lightning." Doctor Sinfruend said. "Well, could be. Maybe Nick is so convinced being pregnant that he starts feeling pregnant. You know what I mean?" I said. "Could be possible." Doctor Sinfruend said. "Doctor, can we keep this a secret. Like in, just between us and nobody else." I said. "Sure, I took an oath when I graduated as doctor and doctors took an oath to keep everything between the patient and ourselves." Doctor Sinfruend said. "When you got the results of the tests and it turns out Nick really is pregnant, I ask you to help us and not tell anyone. Not the press or anyone, you hear. Coz if you do, Nick will sue you till you're broke!" I said. "Trust me Mrs, I will keep my mouth shut. No matter what the results of the test will be." Doctor Sinfruend said. "Thanx Doctor." I said. "You're welcome." Doctor Sinfruend said. I hung up the phone and went back to Nick. He was sleeping like a baby.
