I led Howie in the livingroom. "Where's Nick at?" he
asked as he sat down in the couch. "He's under the shower, he'll be down
in a sec. And then I'ma shower and then we're done... Hope you don't mind waiting."
I said. "No, you guys take it easy, especially you." Howie said.
"Thanx." I sniggered. Howie started moving a little uncomfortable.
"Ruff nite I see...?" Howie said as he found my bra while
accidentally sitting on it. My face turned red, "Give me that." I
said. Howie laughed, "Well, you're very fit for a pregnant gurl." he
said. I looked at my feet. "Hey Howie, sorry for being such a dork."
Nick said as he walked into the livingroom. "It's okay, just get ready and
I'll forget about it." Howie said. "Alright. I'll get you something
to drink... Coffee?" Nick asked. "Yes please, and 2 cubes of
sugar." Howie said. "Then I'll go and take a shower." I said as
I got up and checked the couch for more clothing. "Here." Howie said,
holding a boxer. Nick's face turned red now. "I didn't knew you liked
Betty Boop." Howie said, noticing a Betty Boop printed right at the crotch
of the boxer. "It was a gift from Libra." Nick said. I giggled and
took the boxers outta Howie's hands. "If you find any other piece of clothing
laying around, lemme know will ya. I'll be upstairs taking a shower." I
said. "Okay." Howie said. "I will be joining you later, so I can
help you pack." Nick said as he walked to the kitchen. "As long as
you guys keep it to packing instead of smooching." Howie sniggered.
"You're so funny Howie, you shoulda become a comedian." Nick said
sarcastically. "Thanx Nick." Howie joked.
I was taking a quick shower, when I suddenly heard a scream from
downstairs. I turned the shower off, grabbed a bathrobe and ran downstairs.
"What's going on?" I asked worried. Howie was standing with his hands
in his hair, staring at Nick. "Howie? Nick? What's going on?" I asked
again. "I I I.... Tell me it's just a joke. He's just joking isn't he?!"
Howie screamed. "You don't have to yell at me! What are you talking about
anyway?!" I asked. "What I'm talking about?!" Howie asked as he
started to become really hysterical, "Nick claims to be pregnant!" I
looked at Nick. "You tolled him?" I asked him a little worried and
angry at the same time. Howie looked at me, "You mean it's true?!" he
asked. "I didn't tolled him... Well, ehm... I got this pain in my stumach
and said, oh no the baby. And Howie heard me say it and asked, whatta ya mean
oh no the baby? Then I showed him the echo-picture we made and he
screamed." Nick said. "Whatta ya mean oh no the baby?" I asked.
"Well, I felt a little stab kinda feeling right here." Nick said, as
he pointed on his stumach. "Oh no, let's hope there's nothing serious with
the baby!" I said worried. "WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Howie screamed.
"Howie, it's true... Somehow Nick got pregnant from me." I tolled
Howie. Howie's eyes become as wide as an owl’s! "OMG!" he yelped.
"But now we gotta go to Doctor Sinfruend, coz this pain is worrying
me." I said, as I walked up to Nick. "Don't you need to put on some
clothes 1st?" Nick asked. "Yeah..." I said as I looked at my
bathrobe and ran upstairs to jump in a jeans and a sweater.
As I got back downstairs, Nick looked pretty white and Howie was
all hysterical. "Howie, could you drive for me?" I asked. Howie just
looked at me. "Nick, you okay?" I asked. Nick nodded, but it didn't
convince me. "Alright, I'll drive myself!" I said as I dragged Howie
and Nick by their arms to the garage. "NO!" Howie suddenly said.
"Huh?" I asked as I helped Nick in the car. "You're not driving
Libra, you don't have a driverslicense and it could bring you and Nick in
danger if you got on the road in the car! I'll drive!" Howie said.
"Thank goodness, so you're awake again?!" I asked. "Just get in
the car!" Howie said, as he pushed me in the car and sat down at the
driversseat.
"Doctor
Sinfruend?!" I asked, while Howie helped me drag Nick into the waiting
room. Nick looked really sick now. "Alright, you sit here okay." I
said to Nick, as Howie and I put him in a chair. "Mr and Mrs Carter? What
are you doing here?" Doctor Sinfruend asked as he walked in the clinic.
"Where were you?" I asked. "I just got here, what's going
on?" Doctor Sinfruend asked. His brother Doctor Lars came walking in too.
"Hey, bruder I just wanted to step by and say
hi..." he said, but then he noticed Nick looking really bad.
"OMG!" he shouted. "You guys are lucky that I felt like dropping
by to the clinic of meine bruder. Nick
is not doing well at all!" Doctor Lars said worried. Doctor Sinfruend
looked at Nick too now. "He's all white... Wait, this looks
familiar." he said. "Let's 1st take him to your office so he can lay
down." Doctor Lars said to his brother. They dragged Nick to the Doctors
office and put him on the table. "What is wrong with him Doctor?" I
asked. "Is he dying?" Howie asked. That thought didn't even cross my
mind. I looked at Howie and started crying. "No, Nick is suffering from
withdrawal." Doctor Lars said. "For what?! Coz he got struck by
lightning?" I asked. "But that is 3 months ago!" Howie looked
confused at me, then at the Doctors, then at Nick and back at me. "Hold
up! I wanna know RIGHT NOW what's the deal here!" He shouted. "That's
simple... Mr. Dorough right?" Doctor Sinfruend said. "Nick's body
isn't build to carry a baby. His body is now suffering from withdrawal coz of
the baby that's growing inside him. His body, however, sees the baby as a virus
or something." "But is he gonna make it?" I asked. "I
dunno..." Doctor Sinfruend said. "You don't know?!" Howie asked.
"He is gonna make it... He just needs to take these estrogen pills."
Doctor Lars said. "I thought I tolled you to let Nick take 1 of these in,
everyday. It's only to make his body ready for the birth." "Yeah,
but... You only gave the pills yesterday!" I said. "That's true... He
should've been taking these pills since the 1st day he got pregnant
really." Doctor Lars said. "And now?" I asked. "Now? Now I
gotta do my job and try to get Mr Carter better again." Doctor Lars said.
"How are you gonna do that?" I asked. "1st we need to check his
pulse and give him some infusion." Doctor Lars said. "Shouldn't you
take him to a real hospital instead of treating him in a clinic?!" Howie
asked. "My clinic has the tools we need too, don't worry about that."
Doctor Sinfruend said. "Now get out! I will call you if things look
better." Doctor Lars said. "I'll be waiting right in the waiting room
for you Nicky-poo, you hear me. Stay strong okay! For us, for the baby, for me
and for you... Fight Nicky!" I said, as Doctor Sinfruend pushed us outta
the office. I could see Nick weakly smile at me, right before the Doctor kicked
me and Howie out.
I fell in tears as I sat down in a chair. "Libra... I still
don't fully understand what's going on. But I do know Nick is a strong fella
and will get thro this. He will walk outta that room and be the prankster he's
always been!" Howie said. I put my hands in my face to hide my tearing
eyes. "Hey." Howie said, as he gently took my hands outta my face and
lifted my head to look him in the eyes. "Nick has been thro allot and I'm
sure he will get thro this too. You gotta have faith in him that he will get
better." he said. "I know, and I do have faith in Nick pulling
thro... But I'm still scared." I said as I looked away. "I'm scared
too... But we gotta trust in Nick and God that he will get better, okay."
Howie said. "Yeah, you're right..." I sighed. Howie smiled,
"He'll survive, trust me on that." he said. I tried to smile back,
but it was just to hard for me to act all happy when I'm not. "It's all my
fault..." I softly said. "What is?" Howie asked. "I knocked
Nick up and now he's sick... Men shouldn't be getting pregnant." I said.
"Don't say that!" Howie said. He got quiet for a second. "Say,
how in the world did you got Nick pregnant anyway? I mean, what did you
do?" Howie asked. I explained the whole thing to Howie.
"Wow, so
it's not you who's pregnant but Nick! You guys got hit by lighting and now Nick
is pregnant? That's an X-file!" Howie said. "That's not funny Howie,
that's not funny at all." I said. "I know, I'm sorry. I just tried to
make you laugh a little." Howie said. "That's nice of you, but I
can't be acting all joyful when Nick is laying in that room, sick as
hell." I said. "I understand." Howie said as he stroke his hand
over my shoulder. "We should tell the others about this too." he
said. "I know, Nick wanted to tell it to you guys too yesterday. Nick
almost spilled it at Brian actually, but he figured he just couldn't tell him.
I mean, it's a pretty weird story." I said. "I sometimes don't even
believe he's pregnant until I hear him barf or see him eat tomato with
ice-cream." "Tomato with...? UGH, that's disgusting!" Howie
said. "Oh, he eats lots more stuff like that, maybe even more disgusting
then the 1 I mentioned." I said. Howie looked at the phone, hanging on the
other side of the waiting room. "Why don't we atleast call the others to
say Nick is in the clinic. And then once they're here we can try to tell them
about it. I'll call them if ya like." Howie said. "Just don't call
his parents or something... I don't know how to explain it to them. Explaining
it to you guys is 1 thing, but how do I explain to his mom and dad that I got
Nick pregnant instead of Nick me?" I said. "Alright, so we won't call
the Carters... But I'll call Brian, AJ and Kevin okay?" Howie asked.
"Okay..." I said. Howie got up from his seat and walked over to the
phone.
In an hour AJ, Kevin and Brian got at the clinic. "What's
wrong with Nick?" Kevin asked. "Guys, it would be better if you sat
down." I said. "Why? What's going on? Howie said there was something
weird with Nick and that's all he tolled us." AJ said. "Well, that's
becoz it's kinda hard to explain what Nick is going thro right now." I said.
"Just sit down, okay. Coz this is gonna shock you." Howie said. AJ,
Brian and Kevin went and sit across Howie and me in the waiting room.
"Ooh, Kristin and LeighAnne couldn't make it, but they did wished Nick the
best and said they will pray for him." Brian said. "Is okay." I
said.
"Libra?" Doctor Lars interrupted us. "Nick is
doing much better now, so you know." "He's okay?" I asked with a
little relief. "Yes, he woke up from his shock and I think he can go home
later on. He's still a little white tho." Doctor Lars said. "Nick
looks white?" AJ asked. "How come?" Kevin asked.
"Well..." I stuttered. "You can see him if you want."
Doctor Lars said. "I sure do!" I said. "We too." AJ, Kevin,
Howie and Brian said. "Alright, but try not to exhaust him, Mr Carter is a
little weak." Doctor Lars said. "Alright." we said. Doctor Lars
went back in the office. AJ, Brian and Kevin got up. "Ehm guys, before you
get in there... You should know something about Nick." Howie said.
"What? We know he's sick, maybe he shouldn't be on tour with us..."
Kevin said. "No, well ehm... I." I stammered. "Well what?"
AJ asked. "What I'm about to tell you might sound weird and I ask you to
keep it between us, so don't be telling it to ANYONE." Howie said.
"What is it then?" Brian asked. "Well Nick... Libra..." Howie
stuttered. "Nick is pregnant, not me!" I finally shouted. The room
was filled with silence. "What a joke! Libra, you're the perfect match for
Nick. You're a very good prankster! Now let's go and see Nick, he could use
some friends around." AJ said. "I'm not kidding!" I shouted.
Kevin, Brian and AJ started laughing. "You just crack me up Libra, now
let's crack Nick up." Kevin said. "It's true you guys, by some sick
accident Nick got pregnant." Howie said. "Howie... Never
mind..." Brian said as the 3 entered the office.
"Hey you guys, what are you doing here?" Nick asked.
"Howie called us that you were in a bad condition." Brian said as he
sat on the edge of Nick’s bed. "He did?" Nick asked. "Yeah, but
why aren't you in a normal hospital if you're in such bad shape?" Kevin
asked. "Well..." Nick stammered. Howie and I came walking in the
room. "I tried to tell them, but they wouldn't believe me." I said
Nick as I went and sat on his lap. "But I do tho." Howie said. "Not
that Nick being pregnant joke again, huh? It was fun the 1st time, but not
anymore okay?!" AJ said. "It's true." Doctor Sinfruend and
Doctor Lars said. "What?!" Brian asked. "Men don't get
pregnant." Kevin said. "I know, but somehow Nick did. He's sick becoz
of the pregnancy, coz his body can't stand the changes that go thro his
body." Doctor Lars said. "See, that's why he's so white... Becoz his
body is trying to adjust to the new hormones and the baby." "And how
is the baby?" Nick asked. "The baby is fine." Doctor Sinfruend
said. "Wait a minute here...!" AJ interrupted. "You mean to tell
me that Nick is 3 months pregnant instead of Libra?!" Nick and I nodded.
"OMG!" Kevin said. "Sweet Lord, what is this for sick
joke?" Brian sighed. "It's not a joke Brian. I really am
pregnant." Nick said. "Here, Libra show him the echo-scan!"
"I don't have it Nick, it's at home." I said. "Ghahah! What a
joke! This isn't funny you guys!" AJ said. "Here's proof."
Doctor Lars said. He pulled a mini version of an echo-scanner outta a closet
and pulled it along to Nick. I gotta offa the bed and Doctor Sinfruend pulled
Nick’s shirt up, waxing his stumach. "What are you guys doing?" Kevin
asked. "They're nuts!" Brian sighed. Doctor Lars slide the scanner
over Nicks stumach. "Look, look for yourself!" I said. Howie, Brian,
Kevin and AJ looked at the echo-screen. "Oh shit!" AJ said.
"What in Gods name?!" Brian stammered. Kevin just looked confused and
eventho Howie did believe us, he too was kinda confused when he saw a moving
little baby on the echo-screen. "He really is pregnant." Brian said
stunned. "Yes he is, how weird it may sound..." Doctor Sinfruend
said. Kevin, Brian, AJ and Howie just stared at us. "How did you...
How?" AJ asked. "I dunno." Nick and I said.
All of a sudden Kevin fainted and dropped on the floor.
"OMG, Kevin!" Brian yelped. Doctor Sinfruend took a look at him.
"He just fainted, let's just put him on the other table. I guess it was
all a little to much for him to handle. But he will be fine." Doctor
Sinfruend, Doctor Lars and AJ dragged Kevin on the table next to Nick.
"Wha-what?!" Kevin mumbled. "Kevin, you okay?!" Howie
asked. "Yeah, I just had a bad dream... I dreamed that Nick was
pregnant." Kevin said. Then he saw the echo-scanner and the echo-screen
next to Nick’s bed. "OMG, it wasn't a dream!" Kevin yelped, as he
fainted again. "Let him lay there for a while, he'll be fine." Doctor
Lars said.
"How did Nick got pregnant?!" Brian asked. "3
months ago, when Nick and Libra were having sexual intercourse, they got hit by
lightning." Doctor Lars started. "Say what?!" Brian asked as he
looked at Nick and me. Nick and I just smiled and nodded our heads.
"Somehow the lightning twisted things around. Instead of Libra getting
pregnant, Nick got pregnant. We're not sure how exactly, but Nick is the living
proof himself... Along with his baby." Doctor Lars said. "I wanna go
home." Nick suddenly said. "You will go home. As matter of fact, you
will go home later on today. We just need to go thro the medication you'll be
needing so you won't get sick anymore." Doctor Sinfruend said.
"Okay." I said. "Could you all just wait in the waiting room? I
need to talk to Nick and Libra alone." Doctor Lars tolled the others.
"Alright." they said. "See ya later guys." Howie said as he
signed peace with his fingers.
"Well
then." Doctor Lars said, as the guys were outta the room. "Like I
tolled you yesterday, you need to take in these feminine hormones." Kevin,
who was still laying on the table next to Nick, slowly woke up. "I think
if I'll give you a larger dose of estrogen your pregnancy will go much smoothly
Nick." Doctor Lars continued. "Female hormones? An extra dose of
estrogen?" Kevin asked, still a little dizzy. "I'm leaving, this is
way to weird for me." Kevin got up from the table and left to the waiting
room. "Nick, stay tuff." he said, before he closed the door behind
him. "Will I be sick all the time?" Nick asked. "Well, it
depends. It depends if your body can handle the changes that it's going thro
and allota other stuff. But if you stick to what I tolled you to do, things
should go just fine." Doctor Lars said. "Okay Doctor." Nick
said. "And you watch him Libra." Doctor Sinfruend said. "Can we
go home now?" Nick asked. "Yes you can, just be careful. Don't be
doing to hectic stuff for a while." Doctor Sinfruend said. "But I got
rehearsals tomorrow." Nick said. "You could try and do some of the
things you have to do during rehearsal, but no stunts or crazy moves."
Doctor Lars. "Not right after this anyway, but sports and other stuff is
okay during pregnancy so..." "Okay, thanx Doctor." Nick said.
"And what about when Nick will definitely be on tour? He can't reach you
once a week anymore by then." I said. "I'm afraid I'll have to come
with you then." Doctor Lars said. "Sure, that would make it allot
easier." I said. "Alright, so that's a deal." Doctor Lars said.
Nick and I walked outta the office, to the waiting room. "I
still don't totally get it, but we'll support you all the way Nick." Brian
said. "Group hug!" Nick shouted, as everyone gathered around and gave
eachother a nice big hug. "Now let's all come to my house. We got
rehearsals tomorrow." Howie said. "Alright, but I still need to pack
my stuff." I said. "Nope, you don't have to. I remember Nick still
has some clothes from the last time he was at my place." Howie said.
"But what about me?" I asked. "You could easily fit in 1 of my
clothes." Nick sniggered. "Alright." I said.
We went outside the clinic and all stepped in our cars. Brian
and Kevin all came with AJ's car, and Nick and me went in Howie's car. Off to
Orlando.
