Disclaimer: This idea came from when I was miserable on vacation. I own everything but Disney's characters and the lyrics used in the song title, and it's about as real as Paris Hilton.
A/N: I know that I've recently started a new story and should probably finish up Billie Jean before posting this but because I'm angsting about not getting to see Kill Hannah tonight, I'm posting this. Also, I cleaned my room and closet, so I think I deserve a reward. Hope you enjoy.
Shane decided to tell Jason in the most subtle of ways. The birdhouse he'd promise to make; yeah, he made it. And carved just barely on the back of it are the words 'I'm pregnant, and it's yours.'
He then stood in front of the receiver, nervous and shaking. Waiting.
"Oh shit, man. Sorry," he chuckled. He tossed the wooden object a few inches into the air and caught it. Shane nodded, arms crossed over his chest and head down "So, like, you're having the kid?"
"Yeah," the expectant one nodded.
"The paparazzi's gonna have a field day."
"I know," Shane squeezed his eyes closed. "What am I going to do?"
His friend with benefits replied blatantly, "Don't know."
The singer nodded once more, then sighed. "I have to tell my parents."
"Yep."

At present, Shane stood in front of his mother and father at the airport, baby's daddy by his side.
"Have a safe flight," his mother wished the two stars well, kissing her son's cheek and then Jason's. "Call us when you get to the house."
Because of the unexpected situation and fear of discrimination, job loss and image-smudging Shane is being sent to live in a remote town with his baby daddy. The place, Kiowa, Kansas, is barely readable on the map. The population is less than eleven hundred and the amount of entertainment is negative two hundred and thirty.
"We will," Jason confirms, hugging Mrs. Gray.
"Dad," Shane whimpers through tear-filled eyes. His father steps forward and hugs his expecting son closely; dearly. He kisses the barely shoulder length hair and pulls back, smiling at his son.
The baby daddy pulls the pregnant boy away from his parents, from his world, from fame, from anything remote, and towards a long haul of loneliness.
