Cecilia wanted to take back that night. She didn't know what had come over her. Maybe it was because he was leaving for a trip in two days. Maybe she was in love with him. But it was to late. She had to accept the consequences.

~{Ceci's P.O.V.}~

"Bye Kyle!" yelled Rosalind.

"Come back soon!" cried Julia.

"Don't hurt yourself!" said Mana.

"Please… be careful," said Dorothy.

"Bye!" cried Yue.

"Good luck!" yelled Alicia.

"Good-bye!" I said. Kyle was leaving on a trip; he would be gone for just over a week. Everybody in town was there to see Kyle off. He waved to everyone as his boat pulled away.

"Don't get yourself killed!" yelled Roy and Cammy. Kyle waved one last time before the ship moved out of site. I couldn't tell him… I didn't have the courage. I turned around to see Jake standing by himself.

"Jake what's the matter? I thought you didn't like Kyle," I wondered.

"I don't. It's just you girls are being so stupid yelling different stuff like that," said Jake.

"Geez Jake, you didn't have to be so mean," Tanya said. "They're just gonna miss Kyle that's all."

"Well I think it's stupid!" snapped Jake and he turned and ran away. I sighed, ever since Kyle had come to Alvarna Jake had been sour and he got mad when I spent too much time with Kyle. I knew he liked me but he had an interesting way of showing it. The crowd broke up and I went back to cleaning. But I couldn't hold it in. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Crud… This isn't happening… It couldn't be. I told Herman I wasn't feeling well and was going to Natalie. When I got to the Clinic I had Natalie check me out.

"Well Ceci… It looks like your pregnant," said Natalie.

"What? I'm… pregnant?" I just couldn't believe it. I was pregnant… I was going to have a baby.

"Yes dear you are," said Natalie.

"Um, Natalie…" I stuttered. "Can you keep this a secret? I don't want anyone knowing…"

"Of course Ceci. But can I ask, who's the father?"

"I think… Kyle." It must have been Kyle. Jake and I have never even kissed. There's no way it could be him. It had to be Kyle. I had to be.

"That must be hard on you… Well I mean how he just left on a trip," said Natalie. "Well, I want you to come visit me twice a month so I can see how the baby's doing."

"Okay. Thank you Natalie." I was glad that Ray was on an errand and Dorothy hadn't come to work yet. I said good-bye to Natalie and went back to the Inn. Egan asked what was wrong and I told him I wasn't feeling well. I went upstairs and decided that I would tell Kyle when he came back… But for right now I would have to live through a week of keeping a major secret… It was going to be tough…
