As Julie is walking down Wisteria Lane she notices Gabrielle sitting on her patio painting her toenails. She decides to go up and talk to her.
"Hi!" Gabby greets cheerfully as Julie walks up onto the porch.
"Hi,"
"Sit down," Gabby demands in a friendly manner.
"Ok," she agrees as she sits down in a wicker chair next to Gabby.
"How's school?" Gabby asks trying to make small talk.
"Good, how's the baby?"
"She and Carlos passed out about half an hour ago,"
"oh," Julie sighs as she looks off into space.
"What?" Gabby asks.
"Nothing. I'm just surprised you were able to find a baby that you wanted adopt so quickly. I mean how did you know that she was the baby you wanted?"
"I... uh... I don't know why?"
"It was just a question,"
"Oh,"
"So do you think you're going to want to adopt another baby?"
"I don't know, I mean I hadn't really thought of it. Why?"
"Never mind," Julie says in a depressed tone.
"Julie why are you asking me all of this?" Gabby asks in a very concerned manner as she turns to Julie.
"I don't know," she replies defensively.
As Gabby looks at Julie she can see that her eyes are beginning to well up with tears.
"Julie what's wrong?"
"Nothing," Julie replies as she starts to get up.
"Whoa where are you going?"
"Home,"
"Julie you know you can talk to me. You can confide in me. I'm not going to tell anyone,"
"Yes you will,"
"No I won't," Gabby confirms.
"I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone,"
"Julie what's going on? What does this have to do with adoption,"
Julie doesn't reply she just starts crying.
"Oh my," Gabby stops herself after her realization. "Please don't cry," Gabby begs.
"I can't tell anyone. What am I going to do?"
"Julie what are you trying to tell me?" Gabby asks needing to hear it. Mainly because it's coming from Julie. She would believe it about almost anyone else without hearing it from their lips. Mainly because Julie was always such a well behaved girl.
"I... I'm... I'm pregnant,"
"You are?" Gabby asks. "I never thought that you would be..."
"Me neither, it was a really big mistake. I had this big crush on someone, and I let it go too far,"
"Julie are you sure?" Gabby wonders surprised that Julie would ever end up in this situation.
"Yeah,"
"Who is the..."
"You wouldn't believe it if I told you," Julie cuts her off.
"Try me,"
"Andrew,"
"I thought he was gay,"
"Apparently not,"
"Julie you have to tell your mom,"
"Why? I've kept her from it this long why would it matter if I didn't tell her,"
"What do you mean kept it from her this long?" Gabby asks raising an eyebrow.
"I've know for 2 and ½ months,"
"Julie how far along are you?" Gabby wonders nearly choking to death on her own saliva after processing what Julie has just said to her.
"Uh 4 months," Julie says under her breath.
"Did you say 4 months?"
"Uh huh,"
"Julie you need to.."
"Get home," Julie says as she scurries off.
The following day when Julie is at school: Gabrielle shows up on Susan's doorstep. She knocks and when Susan opens the door she is surprised to see Gabby standing in front of her holding her baby.
"Gabby? What brings you by?"
"We need to talk," Gabby reveals seriously.
"Ok, come in," Susan gesticulates.
They sit down at the kitchen table.
"I'm going to be really honest with you. And I'm not going to beat around the bush,"
"Ok? What's this about?"
"Julie,"
"Julie? What about Julie?"
"I talked to her yesterday,"
"Really? She didn't say anything,"
"She wouldn't,"
"What are you talking about?"
"Susan yesterday Julie told me something that shocked me,"
"Like?"
"Andrew isn't gay," Gabby starts off with feeling herself beginning to chicken out.
"Well duh, but how would you know that?"
"Because he got a girl pregnant,"
"What?" Susan chirps ready for some good gossip.
"I don't think he knows though,"
"Why would you say that?"
"Because she hasn't even told her mom yet,"
"How would Julie know all of this? And why would she tell you? I mean no offense, but you aren't the warmest person,"
"Just let me get this out,"
"Ok,"
"I really concerned about Julie. I know I don't have room to talk, because I don't have first hand experience, but you need to listen to me,"
"Why are you concerned about Julie?" Susan asks.
"Because Susan, it's Julie. Julie is the one who is having Andrew's baby,"
"What! Why would you even suggest that?"
"Because it's true. Susan I know you don't believe it, and I didn't either, but it's true,"
"Why did she tell you?"
"She asked me all these questions about adoption, and when I asked why she wanted to know she started crying. And then she told me,"
"No not Julie,"
"Look Susan you don't have to believe me, but I wouldn't lie to you about something like this. I know she's your little girl, and you think she's perfect. But she is human she's going to make mistakes,"
