This will be a story starting from where the show, "Life Unexpected" is currently.
Thanks!
"No Cate." Lux walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bagel.
"Yes, Lux." Cate shot her a raised-eyebrow look. Lux shot one right back at her.
"You seriously expect me to go to that stupid party at the Basil's?" Lux groaned, took a bite out of her bagel, and sat down in a chair at the table.
"What if I bought you a dress?" Cate made a cheesy smile.
"Oh, yeah, cuz you know how much I love dresses. And shopping. Oh, I love shopping." Lux said sarcastically. She smiled an evil smile at Cate. Who rolled her eyes. With a final plead, Cate walked over to Lux and sat next to her, placing her clasped hands on the table.
"I know that events like this usually probably destine to end up in some sort of dramatic fight, but this means a lot to Baze now that him and his dad are getting along, and he really wants you there." Cate pleaded.
Lux groaned and hit her head on the table. She finally lifted her head. She squinted. "Fine."
Cate got up and jumped up and down.
"Thank you thank you thank you!"
"Woah there. Don't want to jiggle that baby right on out." Lux put her hands on Cate's shoulders. Cate stopped jumping.
"And you have to get to school. C'mon, lets go." Cate put her hands on Lux's back and pushed her towards the door.

"So, remind me again why you ever moved out?" Baze closed the door to the fridge and tossed a beer to Ryan.
"Well because Cate is pregnant, and because I'm the man, I need to be there for her. It's part of the whole good guy thing. Might want to try it sometime." Ryan teased Baze.
"Ha-Ha. Have you started shopping yet? Because I have absolutely no idea what to get a teenage girl. I mean, what do they like? Clothes? Makeup? Probably best I get her a gift ..money."
Baze looked confused.
"Yeah, it's probably best you keep yourself out of the gift buying process." They both nodded. Baze's phone rang and he got up from his lawn chair and set his beer down.
"Hey kiddo what's up?" Baze picked his beer up again and took a sip. "Sounds good. What time? okay kiddo see you then." Baze put down the phone and plopped back down.
"Lux?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah. She needs me to pick her up later because of some science project thing. So...got another hour?"
"Yep, I've got a free day." Ryan leaned back. He looked at Baze.
"Beer pong?" Baze smiled. They both jumped up and went down to the bar.

"When did you find this?" A doctor in a white coat looked up at Baze after she finished writing something on her clipboard.
"Um..a couple days ago. When it didn't go away I thought I should get it checked." Lux looked down.
"Okay Lux. Well since this is a free clinic, there are only so many free procedures I can do. From feeling this it seems to be a cyst or a tumor." The doctor sat down and put her hand on Lux's knee. Lux's head shot up .
"A...a tumor? What do you mean a tumor? Can't that mean..?" Lux had a worried look on her face.
"Look, we won't know anything until we can conduct a biopsy. I can schedule you one for tomorrow night. I can call your parents or leave it to you, but you'll need insurance for a surgical procedure."
"A surgical procedure? How much is it? I can pay myself." Lux shook her head.
"I'm sorry but if you are a minor we need a guardians consent. And Lux, with things like this it's important to have a support system available." The doctor made a sympathetic smile.
"Yeah." Lux said quietly.
"Well I will let you change out of your gown and then you can go up to the desk to schedule the procedure." The doctors pager went off and she promptly left the small makeshift room with curtains around it.

"So I got Lux to go which means unless I'm the biggest hypocrite in the world, we need to go together. Which means you need to go." Cate winced waiting for a response.
"Okay." Ryan quickly agreed. He sat back in bed as Cate rubbed lotion on her hands.
"Okay? Like okay, okay?" Cate was curious.
"Thats what I said." Ryan smiled.
"Wooow. This whole pregnant thing isn't so bad. Hey, can I have a car?" Cate smiled.
"Nice try." Ryan laughed and started kissing Cate when Lux knocked on their bedroom door.
Ryan rolled over defeatedly.
"Come in!" Cate yelled. Lux came in looking like she was about to cry. She released her breath and swallowed. Before Cate could say anything Lux started in.
"Hey, can I talk to you guys for a minute?" Lux looked serious.
"Yeah, of course." Cate nodded quickly and hopped out of bed. Ryan shot her a concerned look. They looked nervous as she led Lux out of the room.

"I'm sorry! We just have another holiday party. He did? Well he must've not known. Baze, I'm sorry. But we can come by afterwards. Okay. See you tomorrow." Cate put down the phone and took a deep breath. She turned around to face Ryan and Lux who were sitting at the table. Lux was looking down. Ryan was trying to make eye contact with her. He had tears in his eyes but wasn't crying.
"Is he mad?" Lux looked up.
"No, no. Of course not." Cate said quickly. She looked at Ryan who gave her a look of despair. "Are you sure you don't want to tell Baze? I mean, he is your dad after all. He would want to know if something is wrong."
Lux nodded. "No, Baze would just freak out. And we don't even know if its..." She shook her head. "I don't want to worry him." She said quietly.
"Okay. Why don't you get some rest and we'll talk tomorrow." Ryan put his hand on her back and she nodded and got up to go to her room.
As soon as they hurt the ladder door shut, Cate went to go sit down next to Ryan. She looked at him for a long moment, then started silently crying. He held her in his arms.
