Disclaimer: I most definitely do not own Liv and Maddie or the characters. I am only a fan with an idea.

Forewarning: because we're in the middle of a season, this story will include what has definitely happened as well as what I hope will end up happening. The entire plot of this story banks on the fact that the show will end with the twins still in high school, so anything past that is fair game, right?

POSSIBLY TRIGGERING! This story is going to deal with some heavy stuff, however none of it will be described. Read on with caution.

Maddie threw open the front door of her house and stopped by the stairs, sighing. Finals were always bad, but college finals were even worse. Thankfully though, they were over, and she could enjoy the summer with her family.

Her father came in behind her with her last bag and chucked it to the side. "Well, college senior, does home still feel the same?"

"Yeah," Maddie smiled. Exactly the same. It was nice.

"Your sister's probably still upstairs." Liv had gotten home the previous evening.

"Okay," Liv had been studying abroad and hadn't been able to make it home for Spring Break, so they hadn't seen each other in person since January and Maddie missed her like crazy.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go catch up. We were just in the car together for two hours. I don't need to talk to you anymoretoday. I have to get back to school." Ridgewood didn't let out for two weeks yet and he still had teaching to do.

Maddie laughed and grabbed her last bag before bumbling up the stairs.

"See you later, Maddie."

"Bye Dad!"

Parker and her mother were still at the high school and Joey's finals weren't until next week, so it was just her and Liv until around four that afternoon. Lots of time to catch up without the prying ears of little brothers and moms.

Maddie was just considering how to open her bedroom door without dropping any of her things when it opened for her.

"I thought I heard someone carrying twice their weight in sweatpants coming up the stairs." Liv teased.

"Shut up," Maddie replied. "More like half my weight."

Liv laughed and reached out for a hug and Maddie dropped all her bags to return it.

"I missed you so much!" Liv cried, squeezing her sister.

"I missed you too. How was London?"

"A-mazing." Liv replied, pulling back. "It was rainy and gross a lot of the time, but it was really fun and-"

"Okay, you can tell me all about it, but can we pause that for two seconds while I drag my entire dorm into the room?"

"Oh, sure." Liv replied. "Here, hand me something."

They managed to get all of it into the room and started putting it away while Liv chatted all about her time in London and asked Maddie all about how her first experience student teaching went.

Liv was getting a duel major in Theatre Arts and Women's Studies at a college an hour and a half away from where Maddie was going to school to be an elementary school P.E. teacher (her naturally competitive nature was toned down when she worked with little kids, which was good. She was a really patient teacher, and though she couldn't coach through a grade school, recreation centers and sports camps always looked for people to help out and she was okay with that). Both were very happy with how their lives seemed to be turning out.

"Did Dad go back to school?" Liv asked.

"Mhm," Maddie replied, shoving pajamas into a drawer.

Liv put her suitcase in the closet. "I was going to surprise you and go with him to pick you up today, but I wasn't feeling up to it this morning."

"Dad did mention that." Maddie commented, turning to look at her. "What's up? You look fine to me."

"Oh, nothing. I think it might've just been a bug or something. I feel fine now." Liv sat down on her bed.

"Like, a stomach bug?" Maddie asked. "Because I don't know if I should be hugging someone who threw up today. I don't want it." She said it to be funny. She would probably hug her sister even if she had the plague.

Okay, maybe not the plague. That would be pushing it a little.

"I didn't." Liv's voice was soft.

"Didn't what?"

"Throw up. If that makes you feel any better." Liv looked a little too interested in the pattern on her skirt.

Maddie frowned and sat next to her twin. "I was kidding. What's up?"

"Nothing's up."

"Oh please, I know you. Something's wrong. Tell me."

"Maddie-"

"You can tell me anything, you know that."

Liv sighed and looked up to the open door. "You're sure Dad left?"

"I'm sure. He left right after he dropped me off." But Maddie got up to close the door anyway. She sat next to Liv again. "So, what's bothering you?"

Liv looked away. "After I got back from London, my friend Vivian dragged me to this party and..."

"Liv, please tell me you didn't do anything stupid."

"Of course not." Liv snipped. "I would never... I hated everyone there anyway. I brought my own water in my bag and everything, just like mom always said. I was just staying long enough to get her off my back. I was going to tell her I needed to study-"

"Was going?"

Liv squeezed her eyes shut. "I... didn't get that far..."

"What do you mean?" Maddie reached for her hand.

"Well, I had been in the quietest room in the whole house with Vivian and I left my bag with her so I could shove my way to the bathroom. I came back ready to leave, but I got sucked into a conversation and I didn't want to be impolite, so I stuck around. And I... don't remember much after that... Someone must have gotten ahold of my water. Because I know I didn't eat anything..."

"Oh my god, Liv. How long ago was this?"

"The week I got back from London."

"Well, you wouldn't still be feeling sick then. Unless..." Maddie dropped her voice. "Liv, are you pregnant?"

"I don't know! I'm afraid to find out. I hope not." Her voice broke and Maddie hugged her.

"Did you tell anyone what happened?"

"No. Vivian is the only person besides you."

"Liv! You can't do that. Someone needs to know! There's a dirtbag out there who did something really terrible to you and they can't away with it."

"Who was I supposed to tell?"

"Someone at your school!"

"Oh yeah, we both know how far that would've gone. I would've told them the story and they would've said I got drunk and nothing would've ever happened to anyone! The water's long gone, it couldn't be tested for anything!"

"You don't know that." Maddie said. "Someone would've probably done something."

"Or tell the tabloids that movie star Liv Rooney got knocked up at a college party!" Liv sniffled.

Arguing was going to get nowhere. Liv was embarrassed and terrified. "You have to tell Mom and Dad."

Liv nodded against Maddie's shoulder. "Maddie?"

"Yeah?"

"What happens if-if I am pregnant?"

"I don't know. I guess we'll figure it out when we get there."

There were very few people who could say they saw Liv Rooney really cry. Maddie was one of those people. It was a privilege in a way, but it also broke her heart.

Thank you for reading. I hope you stick around to find out what happens! Please leave me a review if you can!
