Ok this is my first One Life to Live story so please all comments would be useful "I hate the world today You're so good to me I know but I can't change Tried to tell you But you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and sweet" Natalie got home and she the second she was in a room where no one else was. She just screamed. She couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't take what Jen was going she couldn't take seeing Cris anymore because all she could think about what how much she loved him. But Jen was right though Cris loved only her, he couldn't possibly love someone like me, could he? Cris left the station hoping Antonio was ok. Then he started to think back to Natalie and Jen. Was he doing the right thing leaving them together alone? Was he doing the right think with Natalie? Trying to ignore the feelings he had for her? Was it right for him to lie to Jen? He stopped himself. He couldn't let Natalie be all he ever thought about. He would go insane. He decided to just head home and see what was left of the two women he cared about. Jen sat down on the couch with an evil smile on her face. Natalie, thought she had seen the worse, she hadn't seen anything yet, either had Cris. They were both going to pay for lying to her. They were going to find out what happens when you cross her. She loved Cris, but he was lying to her now, he had almost cheated on her. She loved him but she could not take what he done to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 2/? "Yesterday I cried Must have been relieved to see The softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything All rolled into one" Cris walked into his apartment and was shocked to see Jen sitting on the couch. He went over to her. "Where's Natalie?" He asked worried. "She went home, it seems she had a headache." Jen said getting up. "But she's ok?" Cris asked worried. "I guess. What are you so worried about any way?" "I just want to make sure she's ok, that's all." "How about let's not worry about Natalie, she'll be fine. We will cal her tomorrow to check up on her. Ok?" Jen asked trying to act as she cared. "Actually if it's ok I'd like to call and check up on her." Cris said as he went for the phone. "But she's probably asleep." Jen said as she put the phone down. "Well you don't know that, and if she is asleep then Jess or Rex will answer the phone." Cris said as he picked up the phone again. "Why can't you just check on her in the morning?" Jen asked annoyed. "What's wrong, Jen?" Cris asked shocked as Jen put the phone down. Natalie drew her self a bath, she could not take the stress any more, it was causing her to almost have a real headache. As she got in the water and closed her eyes, she started to think back to Cris. That is all she could seem to think of these days. She had to get him out of her head. She couldn't think of anything else and it was driving her nuts. She loved him and she knew it but she also knew that he didn't love her and by thinking about him she was wasting her time. She had to find something or someone else to focus her energy on. There had to be someone. Think Natalie think, who could she possibly focus her energy on.... "I didn't mean anything by it, Cris, I just is it too much to ask for you and me just to spend some time together?" Jen asked. "I guess not, I'm just worried about is there something wrong with that?" "No, I just.... Cris I think she wanted to get away from us for a little while. After you left, we were talking and...." Jen said acting nervous. "What did she say?" "She just... well she said that she need space, from you... she said she didn't like be dependent on you. I'm sorry Cris I know you don't want to know that but... I thought you should know." "That doesn't sound like Natalie though." "I'm sorry but it's true." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 3/? "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way" Cris sat down on the couch shocked but what Jen had just told him. Natalie did not want to be around. It hurt, he did not know why it did but it did. Actually he did, he loved her, he couldn't tell her but he did. Jen looked at him smiling but he could not tell, his thoughts were centered on Natalie. "Cris, are you ok?" Jen asked. "Um... Jen I have to go. I'll be back soon." Cris said as he left quickly. Jen sat down on the couch where Cris just was. She knew he was going to check the story but she had to make sure that he was not able to. She picked up the phone and dialed Natalie's number. "Hello?" Rex asked as he picked up the phone. "Rex, this is Jen, Natalie's friend." Jen said lying. "Yeah, I remember." Rex said not believing her. "Did Natalie get home ok?" Jen asked faking her worry. "Yes, she's home." "Look when she left my house she was very upset and not feeling well. I tried to convince her to take something to go to sleep, but I do not think she will. So I was wondering could you make sure she's does what ever it takes to make her feel better?" Rex could tell something was off but he decided he had to get of the phone with Jen before he could figure out what was going. "I'll take of her, don't worry. And I'll tell her you called." "Don't!" Jen said too quickly. "Why not?" Rex asked suspicious. "No reason, I just... sorry Rex but someone is here. I've got to go." Jen said hanging up the phone. Jen went over to her door and was glad to see her mother standing there. "Mom what are you doing here?" Lindsay came in. "I was hoping to talk to you." "Well Cris is about to be back...." Jen said worried. "That's ok, I won't stay long. I just feel like we need to talk about some things." "What things?" "Well last time I was here, I got the impression that something was wrong with you." "Nothing's wrong mom." Jen said lying. "I mean I know we're haven't been close for a long time but if something is would you tell me?" "Yes I would, mom stop worrying I'm fine. Believe me." Jen said lying. "Really?" "Yes, now please I need you to leave before Cris gets back." "Ok, I'm going. Just Jen, please come to me if something does go wrong." Lindsay begged. "Ok, that was weird." Rex said as he hung up the phone and headed up to Natalie's room. When he got to the door, he knocked. "Come in." Natalie screamed. Rex opened the door. "Are you ok?" "I've been better, why?" "You just look like your not feeling well like you need some sleep are something." "I do but I don't think I'll actually be able to sleep though." She said annoyed. He sat on the bed next to her. "What's really wrong, Natty? Is it Cristian?" "Yeah, just having to see Jen and him together made me feel horrible." "Why should you feel horrible?" "Because Jen is being so nice to me, nicer than I ever seen her be and I'm lying to her." "Speaking of Jen she just called to make sure you were ok." "Again there she goes being nice." Natalie said annoyed. "I can't take this much longer!" Rex laughed. "Well then try to go to sleep. Take something if it'll help but get some rest please." Rex begged as he got up. "Thanks, I will." Natalie said as Rex left the room. Cris came up to Natalie's door and knocked. What was he going to do if she said that what Jen said was true? What was he going to do if it wasn't? The door opened. "Cristian what are you doing here?" Jess asked as she opened the door. "I was hoping to talk to Natalie." Cris said nervously. "Rex, where's Natalie?" Jess asked Rex who was in the living room. Rex came in. "Cris, hi. Natalie just took something to go to sleep. Is there a message I can give her?" "Yes..." Cris started to say but thought twice about it. "Actually I think I'll find her tomorrow. Thanks Jess and Rex." He said as he started to walk away. "Do you know what's going on with Natalie and Cristian?" Jess asked as she closed the door. "No clue." Rex said as he headed back to the living room. "Yeah well I don't believe that." Jess said to her self. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 4/? "So take me as I am This may mean You'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that When I start to make you nervous And I'm going to extremes Tomorrow I will change And today won't mean a thing" Natalie woke up and looked in the mirror. It was another day. Another day of having to deal with Cris and Jen. "Can't I just wave a wand and make this all go away!" She screamed. "Make what go away?" Jess asked as she came in her room. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine, at least as fine as I'm going to be." Natalie said. "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you Cristian came by last night." "Why? When?" Natalie asked worried. "After you went to sleep, don't worry he said he'd find you today." "Oh great." Natalie said sarcastically. "Natalie what's going on with you and Cris any way?" "No...." Natalie started to say. "Don't even try to tell me it's nothing, Rex tried that, Cris tried that and I didn't believe them either." "You don't want to know any way, Jess believe me." "Why would I want to know?" "Because that means you would have to be dragged down along with me and into this mess and believe me it's not fun." "Fine, what ever, I just hope that things get better." Jess said as she started to leave. "Me too, they have to get better." "So about this dance there having at the collage we're going right?" Jen asked Cristian. "Yeah I guess." Cris said not paying attention to what she was saying. "Well is Natalie going to go? I wouldn't want her to not go because she had no one to go with you know?" Jen said faking sympathy. "Yeah she's going with Chad." Cris said sadly. "Oh I bet they make a cute couple. I'm so happy for her, she deserves to be in love like you and me." "Yeah she does deserve that doesn't she?" Cris asked. "Yes every one should be as happy as you and me, so in love." "Right." Cris said sarcastically. "So coming to class with me?" Jen asked as she grabbed her purse. "Actually I have some things I want to do first before I go." "That's fine, I'll see you there. I love you." Jen said giving him a kiss. "I love you too." he said through his teeth As soon as Jen was out the door, he dialed Natalie's number. There was a knock at the door. He hung the phone up and headed to the door. He was shocked to see Natalie standing there. "Thought I'd make it easier on you, this way you don't have to look for me." She said. Jen came out of the bathroom, smiling. She knew what the results were going to say. At least she hoped she knew what the results were going to say. She had to be pregnant. She just had to be. The door opened to the bathroom and Jen hid the test behind her back. It was Jessica. "Jen, how are you do?" "I'm doing fine, what are you doing here?" She asked quickly. "I'm coming to wash my hands, are you ok? You don't look so good." Jessica said worried. "I'm fine, really." "Well with everything that's happened you're probably relived I bet." Jess said as she turned on the faucet. "What?" Jen asked confused. "You know with your mom being out of jail and everything." She said as she dried off her hands. "Right, yes I'm very happy about that." Jen said. "I'm glad to hear that, I'm going to go." Jessica said as she started to leave. "OK bye." She said as Jessica walked out the door. As soon as she was gone, Jen looked at the test and smiled. She was pregnant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 5/? "Just when you think, you got me figured out The season's already changing I think it's cool, you do what you do And don't try to save me " "Are you ok?" Cris asked. "Um... why do you ask?" Natalie asked as she came in. "Jen told me you weren't feeling well." "Yeah, that's what I told her." "She also told me that you didn't want to see me any more." "Now I know why you came to my house." "Why don't you want to see me? What did I do?" He asked worried. "I never...." Natalie started to say. "She reads minds I guess because I wanted to say that but couldn't." "But you didn't tell her that?" Cris asked shocked. "No, but that's not the point, the point is she's right." "She is? Why?" "Because I... I can't take this." "Can't take what?" "Can't take having to lie to Jen all the time about what happened and at the same time keeping you from her because you're being a such a good friend to me." "You aren't keeping me from her, I choose to be like that." "But you need to be with Jen, she's the one you love." Natalie said sadly. "She's not...." Cris started to say but the phone rang. "I'm going to go. Um... tell Jen I'm fine and to stop worrying about me. " Natalie said as she started to leave. "Wait..." Cris said as the phone rang again. "Answer that." Natalie said as she left. Natalie headed into class, she had to get away. The phone had rung that was a sign; she was not supposed to have the conversation with him. Then Jen knowing that she needed to get away from Cris, that was just another sign. Every thing was telling her she should not tell Cris and now she was going to listen to it. Natalie did not notice where she was going because she ran into Jen. "I'm sorry." She said as she got up. "It's ok, Natalie I was hoping to run into you." Jen said smiling. "Oh really?" Natalie said sadly. "Yeah, I need a friend to talk to and you're the friend I was looking for. Come over here, we need to talk." Jen said bringing her over to the couch. "What could we possibly need to talk about?" Natalie asked worried. "I've got great news but I'm a little worried how Cristian will take it. And you know him so well, I thought you might be able to help me find a way to tell him." "Tell him what?" Natalie asked confused. "First you've got to promise me you won't tell any one. I want to tell him before anyone else finds out." "Sure, what is it?" "I'm pregnant. I'm so happy. Aren't you?" "You're what?" Natalie asked shocked. "Pregnant, I know you're happy for me. Do you think Cris is going to be happy?" Jen asked faking worry. "Of course he will be. He loves you." Natalie said lying. "Oh thank you, I so needed to hear that." Jen said as she hugged her. "You're such a good friend, Natalie, I don't know what I'd ever do with out you." Jen said smiling. "No problem that is what I'm here for. Oh Jen, I have to go." Natalie said getting up. "Oh ok, you know Natalie I hope you find someone as great as Cris. You deserve it." Jen said smiling. "Yeah thanks." Natalie said through her teeth. Jen started to walk off smiling. She had gotten Natalie and it was priceless. She loved the look on Natalie's face. She wished she could take a picture of it and save it forever. Everything was going wonderful and she knew nothing could ever go wrong. "Jen?" Jen looked up shocked to see Al. "What?" "Did I just hear...." He started to say. "Did you just hear what?" Jen asked annoyed. "You tell Natalie you were pregnant?" He asked in shock. "You shouldn't listen in on other people's conversations." Jen said mad. "It doesn't matter, Jen. I want to know if it's the truth." "Would I say it, if it wasn't?" "Who's the father?" Al asked worried. "Cris is of course." "How do you know? I could be the father." "You're not, stop worrying Al. I know for a fact that Cris is the father, so leave me alone!" Jen said as she pushed past him. "Leave you alone! No, not until I know." "I just told you. Get it through you head." Jen said as she started to walk off. "I'm not so sure." Al said as Jen walked off. Natalie just stood there shocked about what she had just heard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 6/? "I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover I've been numb, I'm revived Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way" "Ok I should tell Cris right?" Natalie asked her self. "I mean he deserves to know. I mean that is if Al wasn't lying again." Natalie said as she passed her living room. "If I don't tell him, then he'll end up raising a baby that might not be his." She sat down. "But what if it is? I mean he is sleeping with her. At least that is what Jen said. Was Jen lying or is Al lying?" Natalie let out a scream. "Why did I have to hear that! Now I don't know what to do!" "Hear what?" Cristian asked as he came into the living room. "Um... Cris what are you doing here?" Natalie asked getting up. "I came to finish our conversation." "Our conversation right...." "You do want to finish it right?" He asked confused. "You know what you have better things to do. Why don't you go find Jen and you two talk. Believe me you need to talk to Jen." "Is something wrong with her?" "Well... look just go find her ok? She needs you. I can wait." Natalie said trying to get rid of him. "There's something else going on. What is it?" He asked as he stopped in front of the door. "Nothing's going on, just talk to her please." Natalie begged. "I will, but this isn't over. I want to know what's bothering you." Cris said as Natalie opened the door. "And you will find out later." She said as she shut the door. "And it'll kill you if it's true." She said sadly. Al walked into the house and slammed the door. "She can't do this to me!" Al screamed. "What are you yelling about?" Max asked from the living room. "Jen." Al said sadly. "What happened with Jen now?" "She's pregnant." Al said mad. "Then you should be happy for her, right?" "Not until I know for sure who's the father." "Who else could it be other than Cristian?" "Me." "What? Wait, that is not possible. You and Jen haven't slept together in a long time." "Not true, we slept together not very long ago." "When? And how?" Max asked confused. "A little while ago at the Bay Berry Inn." "She's still with Cristian right?" "Yeah." "And she was still with Cristian when you slept with her?" "Yes." "And who... I mean did she ask you to sleep with her or was this...." Max started to say. "She asked, she almost begged." "And you didn't tell her no?" "Why should I? I love her." "But she has a boyfriend, remember?" "But they were in fight. He had cheated on her." "And she was trying to get back at him by sleeping with you?" "No, it wasn't like that." "Look let me ask you a question, did she tell anyone else but you this happen?" "Well no." "And she never asked you again right?" "One more time." "And then nothing?" "Right." "She was using you." "I don't care, seriously I don't. All I care about is that she's pregnant and the baby could be mine." "Yeah that a problem." Jen lit some candles around the apartment and then changed. She sat down on the couch and waited. She could not wait for Cristian to come home. She could not wait to see the look on his face when she told him. It was going to be priceless. She pictured what he was going to do and say. He would want to marry her of course, it would be the right thing to do. And they'd raise the child together, but he'd never know that the child wasn't his. And Al would never know that the child was his. And Natalie she'd want to be in my place. She's going to be so miserable because Cris and I will be married and she'll be all alone. The door opened and Jen turned around. "What's wrong?" Cris asked her worried. "Did you talk to Natalie?" Jen asked faking worried. "Yes, she said that I need to talk to you but she wouldn't tell me why." "That's because I asked her not to." "What's going on?" He asked as he noticed the candles. "I've got some great news." Jen said smiling. "What kind of news?" "The kind that is going to change our lives forever." "What's the news?" "We're going to have a baby." Jen said smiling. "We're what!" Cris asked shocked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 7/? "I hate the world today You're so good to me I know but I can't change Tried to tell you But you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and sweet" "What are you doing?" Jessica asked as she came into the living room where Natalie was throwing pieces of trash at the wall. "I'm trying to write a letter." Natalie said annoyed. "It does not look like it's coming along to well." Jessica said sarcastically. "No, it's not." "So who are you writing to any way?" Jess asked confused. "Cris." Natalie said as she started to write another letter. "Cris? He lives here. Why don't you just call him?" "Because I can't tell him this in person." "Ok." Jess said as she went and picked up a piece of paper and started to read it. "Dear Cris, I know you don't want to hear this and I know it's probably not true but I heard Jen say that she's pregnant and the baby might not be yours since she slept with Al ..." Jess read out loud. "What in the hell are you trying to do?" Jessica asked mad. "Jessica, you shouldn't have read that. I didn't want you to know." Natalie started to say as she got up. "Didn't want me to know what? That you are trying to break up Jen and Cris? Why would you do that Natalie!" "I'm not trying to break them up, I'm just trying to tell him the truth." "The truth! This is not the truth. This is just some lie that you made up to break them up. But the question is why? What do you want Cris for yourself?" "No, I don't." Natalie said lying. "I don't believe you. You want Cristian. Why can't you just go after some one who doesn't have some one else?" "I'm not going after him really. He's my friend and that's all he'll ever be." "No, you want him to be more than just a friend but why would you ruin Al and Jen at the same time?" "I'm not, Jessica you don't understand." Natalie said pleading with her. "You know what I think I do and I'm not going to let you do it. I'm doing to go warn Cris, Jen and Al before you get to them." "No! Jess you can't! Please." Natalie said grabbing her arm. "Let go of me!" Jessica screamed. "I can't! I can't let you tell Cris before I get a chance to." "Let go of me! I have to do this!" She screamed trying to get loose. "What are you going to hurt me too? Your own sister." "No." She said letting go of her. "Jess, please you'll break Cristian's heart if you tell him." Natalie said pleading. "It's better than letting a bitch like you do it." Jessica said as she walked out the door. Natalie picked up the phone and dialed Cristian's number. "Are you sure?" Cristian asked nervously. "Yes, I'm very sure. I took a test and it said that I'm pregnant. Aren't you happy?" "Yes, I'm very happy." Cris said lying. "Can you believe it? We're going to have a baby. I'm going to have your child." "Jen, have you gone to a doctor yet. I mean remember last time..." Cris started to say. "But this is different." Jen said as she took his hand and put it on her stomach. "Can't you feel it? I can. I can feel our child growing in side of me." Cris took his hand away. "I can't feel it." "Then you're not trying." Jen said sadly. The phone rang. "I'm going to get it." Cris said. "Cris, don't." Jen pleaded. "Hello?" Cris asked. "It's Natalie. I need to ask a very strange favor." "What?" Cris asked worried. "Is there any chance you and Jen could get out of the apartment now and go some where's. I'll explain later. Cris, please." Natalie begged. "Well we have to go to the hospital any way. I'll tell you why later." "I know, Jen's pregnant." Natalie said. "That's what you wanted to tell me?" Cris asked. "Yeah, kind of." Natalie said lying. "Just go please." "Fine, as long as you promise to tell me later." "I will." Natalie said lying. Cris hung up the phone. "We're going to the hospital now." Cris said dragging Jen out of the apartment. Jessica got to the Holden's and started to bang on the door. "Jessie, what are you doing here?" Roxy asked as she opened the door. "I need to see Al. Is he here?" Jessica asked. "You can't even say hi to your own mother?" Roxy asked smiling. "Hi Roxy, now I need to talk to Al. It's important." Jessica said pushing past her. "Al!" She screamed. "He's with Max." Roxy said. "Al!" Jessica screamed again. Al came out followed by Max. "What's going on here?" Al asked. "I have to tell you something, it's very important." Jessica said. "Jessica, we kind of have something we need to deal with right now." Max said. "Believe me this is more important." Jessica said handing the paper to Al. "What's this?" Al asked. "Read it." Jessica said. "Ok." Al said as he opened it. "Dear Cris, I know you don't want to hear this and I know it's probably not true but I heard Jen say that she's pregnant and the baby might not be yours since she slept with Al ..." Al looked at Max shocked. "How did Natalie find about this?" "It's true?" Jessica asked shocked. "Did she say it was?" Al asked back. "Yes, but it can't be. I know it's just something she made up to get Cristian away from Jen. It is isn't it?" Jessica asked worried. "You know what Jessica we need to talk." Al said worried. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 8/? "Yesterday I cried Must have been relieved to see The softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything All rolled into one" "Al, is this thing true or is Natalie lying?" Jess asked. "You know what Jessica I need to talk to my dad, how about I call you?" Al said as he tried to get her to leave. "No! I'm not going till you tell me if this is true?" Jessica said mad. "Jess I don't know if it's true. Only Natalie does." "Only Natalie?" "Yes, this is just another one of her schemes and I think you shouldn't give her the benefit of giving this to Cris or Jen just keep it between you and me." Al said lying. "Why?" "Because she cares about Cris to much to actually give it to him and if you don't then they will never find about it and they'll be fine. But if you do then Natalie will get exactly what she was hoping for them to break up." "I guess you're right. You know Al I'm sorry that she tried to this to you." "It's ok. I'm used to Natalie's tricks by now." "Yeah and we're all tired of them. Oh and thanks Al for being so understanding, Natalie may not appreciate it but I do." "Yeah well Natalie doesn't appreciate much now does she." Al said sarcastically. "Now if you don't mind..." "I'll go and I'm really sorry about all this." Jess said as she opened the door. "So am I." Al said as he closed it. "You know sometimes I think that Natalie has to be my daughter." Roxy said. "With all the problems she causes, I'm not surprised you think that." Max said annoyed. "No how about you don't cause any more problems and just let me and Al talk." Max said. "Fine, but one of these days, Maxie you're going to realize that these problems I cause, I only do because I love you." "Yeah, can you just go?" Max said annoyed. "I'm going." Roxy said as she headed upstairs. "So Natalie knows?" Max asked. "All she knows is what I already knew and that's that the baby is either mine or Cristian." "But what you didn't know before was that Jen's not so sure that this baby is Cris's." Max pointed out. "Which means I've got to find out now if it's mine." Al said as he grabbed his coat. "Oh please tell me Jessica did not get to Cris and Jen before they left." Natalie said nervously speaking aloud. "Don't worry I didn't. So where did you send them off to any way?" Jessica asked annoyed as she came into the living room where Natalie was pacing. "They had some where's to go." "Yeah right, I believe that bull just about as much I believe that you are seriously telling Cris because you care about him." Jen said sitting down. "But I do care about him." "If you really did then you won't be trying to break him up with the girl he's in love with." "I'm not trying to break them up. I want him to be happy, I want him to be with the person he loves and if that's Jen then I'm ok with that." "Then why would you do this?" Jessica said holding the letter. "Because I think he deserves to know the truth." "But the problem is it's not the truth, it's just another lie you made up as part of one of your schemes." "This isn't a scheme Jessica. I would not make this up. And if had my way I wish I had never heard it but I did." "Oh really prove it? Not that you can but give it your best shoot." Jessica said sarcastically. "Why should I you never believe me any way." "That's because you never tell the truth but you know you could change that all right now by admitting to what you're trying to do." "I'm not admitting to something I didn't do. You know what I've got to go." "Got to go and ruin some more lives?" Jessica asked sarcastically. "You know this doesn't even involve you so stay out it!" Natalie screamed. "I would if you my sister here would stop being such a bitch!" Jessica screamed. "Jessica!" Vicki said shocked as she came into the living room. "She's all yours." Natalie said as she headed out the door. "Mom, you're got to stop her." Jessica said pleading. "No, I think you and I need to talk." Vicki said seriously. "So does she always take this long?" Cris asked the receptionist as he waited outside the office. "Depends on how much she has to ask her." "Great, so I may never know if she really pregnant or not." Cris said sarcastically. "Cristian?" Natalie asked as she came into the waiting room out of breath. "Natalie, are you ok?" Cristian asked worried. "I'm fine, where's Jen?" "In with the doctor. Why is there something you need to tell her?" "Um, Cris we need to talk." "Here, now?" He asked shocked. "Yeah, before we get interrupted again." Natalie said. "Are you actually going to tell me everything this time?" Cristian asked. "Yeah, I really am." Natalie said sitting down next to him. "Ok you want to start with why we had to get out my apartment today?" "How about we start further back?" "Sure, as far back as you need to go." "Good, Cris you know I think of you as a really good friend right?" "Yes I feel the same way." "And I wouldn't purposely hurt you, right?" "Yeah, what's going?" "I... I cannot say this. Here take the note and call me when you read it. I've got to go." Natalie said getting up. "Natalie, wait!" "No Cris it's better this way." She said as she left. Cris sat down and opened the letter. "Cristian, I know you probably think I have lost my mind and you are probably right but I am doing this for a reason. You need to know everything; I just cannot lie to you anymore. I know you and Jen or happy and you love her and I am not trying to break you up, I would not do that to you. But you deserve to know what's going. It all started when you helped me out with the murder investigation. We were become so close as friends and then you... you kissed me. I did not expect it but I cannot say I did not want it. Cris, I really care about you and if I had it my way, we would be together but I have stopped trying to make life the way I want it. Instead I'm accepting how life is, I'm in love with you and you're in love with Jen and she might be pregnant with your baby. That is life and I do not expect nor do I want you to do anything with this information I said just let me be and move on with your life with out me even as a friend. I hope you and Jen are happy and I hope that baby is yours and not Al's. Ask Jen about that. I love you and goodbye Natalie" Cristian put the letter back in his pocket and just sat there in crazy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 9/? "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way" "What is there to talk about?" Jessica asked Vikki mad. "Well first I would like to know why you are calling your sister the names you were calling her?" Vicki asked. "You don't know what she's doing, she's trying to ruin people's lives!" "Who's lives?" "Al's, Cris's and Jen's." "I'd understand her not getting along with Al but why Cristian and Jen I thought they were friends?" "So do Cris and Jen but Natalie's not being a friend. She's trying to break them up." "But why would she do that?" "Because she loves him or thinks she loves him any ways. And Jen's pregnant and so she's trying to make Cristian think the baby is Al's." "That just don't sound like something Natalie would do." "Yes it does, She's just the same Natalie that she was when she first got here." "I really don't believe that." "Of course you don't." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means that now a days Natalie can do nothing wrong in your eyes. And I guess it looks like I'm doing something wrong though right? I'm attacking my sister for no reason." "I don't believe that either. I do not think you would attack her for no reason. I think that you do not trust her. Which makes sense, I guess but she is your sister and you need to start trusting her." "I want to but mom I don't think this is true. I can't be, I know Jen, Al and Cris and I know this can't really be going on." "Where are you headed in such a hurry?" Todd asked as Natalie ran past him. "I'm headed home, why do you care?" Natalie asked not really feeling like getting into a discussion with her Uncle Todd. "I don't." Todd said as he started to walk and then stopped. "What's wrong?" "You don't care so why ask?" "Well from what I hear you really are my niece now and I'm trying to treat you like it." "I've been your niece for some time now, you didn't care before." "You weren't this upset before." "So what if I am upset, shouldn't you be happy? You don't like me remember?" Natalie pointed out. "True and you don't like me either." "I know, I remember." "So I guessing you don't want to tell me what's wrong? That's fine with me so I'm going to leave." "Wait!" Natalie said. "What you didn't hear me? I said I'm leaving." "I know what you said but you asked me what was wrong and I'm going to tell you." "Why would you?" "Because you really don't care so you could give me an honest opinion on what's going on that no one else can." "Fine, but this better not take too long." Todd said sitting down. "I'll give you the cliff notes version." Natalie said sitting down next to him. "And what do I get out of this?" "I'll tell people, like Blair that you're being a good uncle." "And ?" "And Blair likes to hear good things about you, she likes them so much that she might even decided to allow some more freedom with your kids." "Ok then fine, start talking." Cris was sitting down in the chair still waiting for Jen to come out and still thinking about Natalie. He did not know what to do. Should he write her a letter and tell her that he loved her too? Should he call her and tell her that he read the letter and loves her? Or should he just ignore the letter and stick with Jen after all she is pregnant with my baby unless... could what Natalie said be true? Could the baby that Jen is pregnant with be Al's? Wait that is not possible, Jen would not sleep with Al, she hates him but why would Natalie say it if it was not true? He got up and started pacing. He needed some answers; some advice but he could not leave Jen. He decided he would go for a walk around the hospital. He would be back before Jen ever got out. He started walking down the hall when he ran into Antonio. "What's wrong with you? You look like you've just seen a ghost?" Antonio asked worried. "What are you doing here?" "You didn't answer your cell, I ran into Natalie, and she said you were her She said you need to talk. What's going on Cris?" "She's right, I do need to talk." Cris said sitting down. "Ok then talk, I want to know what's going here." "You may not believe it." "Yeah well I've heard some weird things and I've believed them, I think I can take what you tell me." "Ok you asked for it." Cris said as he took out the letter. "What's this?" "Just read it and then we'll talk." He said as he handed it to Antonio. Jen came out of the doctor's office smiling but that quickly changed when she realized that Cristian was gone. She went up to the receptionist desk. "Do you know where my boyfriend went?" "Down the hall I think. He seemed upset." "Why was he upset?" Jen asked. "Some red-headed girl gave him a note and then she left." "Natalie, great." Jen said sarcastically. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine." Jen said mad. "Jen!" Al said running into the office. "Oh great, what are you doing here?" Jen said annoyed. "We need to talk." "About what?" "The fact that you think that baby of yours might be mine." "Where did you hear that?" "From Natalie." "What is she trying to do ruin my life!" Jen screamed. "Look Jen forgot about Natalie and focus on this: I want an answer now!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Title: Bitch 10/? "So take me as I am This may mean You'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that When I start to make you nervous And I'm going to extremes Tomorrow I will change And today won't mean a thing" "Al, this baby isn't your as I've already told you." Jen said annoyed. "I don't believe you, I think you're lying." Al said truthfully. "I'm not lying, this baby can't be yours, I know it can't." "No, you mean you don't want it to be so you're just believing it. That doesn't make it true." "Al, don't analyze this, just accept it. Accept that I'm pregnant with Cris' child not yours. I will never be pregnant with your child, you, someone who tried to kill me!" "I didn't try to kill you." "You set my house on fire, my room and I almost died in it." "And you would have if I didn't say save your life." "You only saved my life because you set the fire and you didn't want to be charged with murder." "No I saved you because I care about you, just like I care about our child." "Stop saying our child, this baby isn't not our child, it's mine." "You don't know that so stop saying it." "Yes, Al I do know that." "Oh really how do you know that?" "Because... I was pregnant before we slept together." "Oh really? Then why did you sleep with me?" "Because I was upset, ok. That's all." "But the second time?" "Was a mistake obviously." "Why because you became pregnant?" "No because now you won't leave me alone." "I will as soon as you show me proof that I'm not the father of your child." "Al!" She screamed and then she grabbed her stomach. "What's wrong?" Al asked worried. "The doctor told me not to get stressed... I tried to do what she said, I don't want to hurt the baby." Jen said sitting down still holding on to her stomach. "I... where's the doctor?" He asked the receptionist. "I'll go get her." She said as she went off. "Are you ok?" Al asked really worried. "Al, please just leave." Jen begged. "But..." "The doctor's coming I'll be fine, you're just stressing me out ok?" "Right, I'm so sorry, I'll go." Al said as he started to leave but stopped. "Jen, I hope you're ok and the baby." He said as he left. The receptionist came running back in. "The doctor... I can't find her." "It's ok, I'm fine." Jen said getting up. "But what?" "I had to get rid of him, that's the only way I knew how." Jen said smiling. "Is this for real?" Antonio asked Cristian shocked. "I think it is." Cris said really not sure. "I mean the part about her loving me I think is. The Jen thing I'm not sure about." "Why would Natalie even think that the baby isn't yours?" "I don't know. I mean she really didn't stay around to answer questions." Cris said sarcastically. "What I don't understand is if this is true, which I find a little hard to believe why would Jen tell Natalie any way?" "Again I don't know." "I see that. Well have you asked Jen?" "How do I ask Jen if the baby that she claims is mine is Al's? She'd go nuts." "Yeah I guess there really isn't an easy way to ask her." "No there isn't. And if I show her the letter then she's going see that Natalie loves me and then she going to ask me if I love Natalie and I don't know how to answer that truthfully with out hurting her." "So you do love Natalie?" "Yes of course." "So are you going to tell Natalie that you love her?" "I don't know. I want to I really do but then there's Jen and the baby..." "And you don't want to leave her?" "Of course not especially if she's pregnant." "But do you love her?" "I've been asking myself the same question and the truth is I don't love her like I used to I'm not sure I even love her at all anymore but I don't know how that happened." "Then you need to tell her this." "But she's pregnant." "Right, so maybe you shouldn't." Antonio said confused. "That's an interesting story, so how much of it is true?" Todd asked. "All of it." "And here I thought you had a boring life." "Nothing in my life is boring, I'd take boring but I don't seem to get it." "Yeah that's one of the curses of being in this family I think." "Yours isn't a curse, you make your life non-boring. Everything that happens to you, you do yourself." "Wait just a minute here, that's not really true." Natalie looked at Todd. "Ok, so for the most part it is true but we're not supposed to be talking about me, we're talking about you remember?" "Right, so any advice that I'm actually going to like?" "I think it's pretty simple Jen is lying, she slept around, you love her guy and she doesn't want to let him go." "What about him or Al?" "Al is obsessed, my guess is if he finds out that there is a baby that might be his, he'll take full advantage, and Cristian is trapped even if he does love you, he's got a child and he might not leave the baby." "That's what I thought. So what should I do?" "Sit back and watch, you can't really do anything except drive Jen so nuts that she ends up telling every one what happened and that would be pretty funny, I might even watch." "Yeah but she's pregnant, what if I stress her out so much she loses the baby?" "She's lying so she's putting stress on her self already so if she does lose the baby, you get the guy and you're not to blame." "But I don't want her to lose her baby!" "Fine, then she doesn't, I don't really care. So can I go know?" Todd asked annoyed. "Yeah." She said as Todd got up. "And thanks." She said as he walked off.
