Hiya! My second C & H fanfic!! :D Yippy!! I hope you like it: haven't written for a long time. :)

Chapter 1: Intro

Calvin's POV

I look up from my comic and watch as Dad paces up and down, in the family-room. Up and down, up and down, up and down …

"Dad, are you trying to make feel sick?" I say, but as usual, the man I call my father ignores me (obviously he doesn't know a fabulous person when he sees one, and I pity him for that, for I AM the fabulous Calvin!). I often wonder how he and I are related. I'm great, he's not. I'm fantastic, he's not. I'm God's greatest creation, and he's definitely not! You pretty much get the point.

Dad stops suddenly, glances at his watch, and then continues walking up-and-down. What is wrong with him? Has he gone more stupider than usual? Is he waiting for someone he hired to assassinate me because I'm too important?! Where's Mom when you need her! She'll sacrifice herself for me because I'm the best.

Beep! Beep!

My prayers have been answered! I recognize the sound of Mom's car anywhere (due to the fact that Hobbes and I broke into her car once in the middle of the night and pretended to be policemen: Hobbes was the driver, hooting every five seconds until my Mom unfairly dragged us to my bedroom). Dad screams, and he runs out the door like a killer T-Rex is chasing him. Ha! If only!

I find myself standing at the window, looking out as Mom is getting out the car. My gosh, she looks freaked out! Her skin has gone pale and I can see a hint of shock in her eyes. I'm actually quite worried: my mother could have been abducted by aliens! I would feel like her if that happened to me.

Dad is immediately by her side. He says something, the feeling of concern sketched on his face, and Mom doesn't respond at first, but then she nods. Hmm, Dad looks like he's gonna faint. Or sick. Or both, for that matter. What an awesome sight that would be.

For a melodramatic person, Dad quickly recovers and, putting an arm around Mom's shoulders, they walk towards the front door. Quickly I move from the window and sit back on the floor, opening up my comic on a random page, and I pretend to be innocent. The front door opens, and Mom and Dad walk in.

Is it me, or do they look … not shocked? They're smiling! They look happy!

Oh wait, never mind. They're smiling, but I can tell they're fake. Who are they trying to kid?! The president?!

"Alright, what's going on?" I ask them, my hands on my hips. "Are you trying to hide something from me?"

Mom and Dad drop their smiles (thank goodness!). Now they pretty much look normal. Can't believe I actually said that about them … Dad makes a gesture with his hand for me to sit down on the couch. For once I obey him. I'm on the couch, and I look at my parents who stay standing in front of me. Gee whiz, this seems serious.

"Look, Calvin, your mother has something to say to you-" starts Dad, but Mom cuts him off.

"What do you mean I have to tell him?! You were supposed to tell him! And what's the big idea of getting to the point like that?! Don't rush things!"

"Alright, dear, calm down," says Dad, and he turns to me again. "Well, Calvin, not all things in life is planned. Y'know, like falling in love, losing your job-"

"Or getting married," Mom mutters. Dad ignores her and continues. "And sometimes even having children isn't planned, especially when one child is enough."

Is it me, or did Dad sound unhappy there?

"And everything you just mentioned has got something to with me how?" I ask, yawning slightly.

Dad hesitates, and then he mutters something under his breath.

"Speak up, honey," says Mom, holding his hand. Dad sighs and then says, "Calvin, your mother is going to have a baby. You're going to be a brother."

"No offense, honey, but that was pathetic," says Mom, but her voice seems so far away. Sooo far away … I can't believe it. My mom? Having a baby? How could she do this to me?! Am I not important?! Okay Calvin, calm down. Just calm down, everything's gonna be alright.

Everything's gonna be alright …

"AUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
