"Phoebe, phoebe, are you all right?"

Gerald called up her parents and carried Phoebe to her room. After a while she regained her consciousness.

"What happened, Phoebe?" Gerald worryingly asked.

"Don't worry. I just need rest."

"Take care of yourself Phoebe, okay?"

Months after, one morning, Lila woke up not feeling so well.

"Oh, I don't feel so good. I think I'm going to puke." Lila said to herself.

She noticed that every morning she pukes and she's very dizzy.

"MORNING SICKNESS?!! Am I pregnant?!" she asked herself. "No! This can't be! I can't be pregnant! I'm only 22!! I'm not yet finished with my course. I want to be a doctor. I want to have a great future! This can't be happening! This can't be!!" She burst out crying.

Feeling so insecure and bothered, she called her friend up. "Hello?"

"Pls. please come over. I need someone to talk to. Please!" Lila pleaded.

"Lila, what's the matter? Why are you crying? Don't worry, I'll come over."

After a few minutes...

"Lila, Lila, I'm here, open up the door." she said.

Lila came out crying. She hugged her so tight and said, "Helga, I think I'm pregnant!"

"What?!" she was surprised by what she heard. "You're pregnant? Are you sure? How can this be? Oh, Lila, What have you done?"

"I've noticed that every morning I'm not feeling very well. And my menstruation had stopped for two months now." She explained. "I bought this thing in the drug store. This would tell me if I'm really pregnant. Helga, stay here with me. I need your support."

"Don't worry. I won't leave you."

After a few minutes...

"Helga, please see the results. I'm greatly terrified." Lila spoke slowly.

"Okay, let's see, 2 lines means... LILA... You're pregnant!!"

"Oh, Helga, Helga... What would I do?! What would I do?!" She shouted as she walks back and forth in the room crying.

"Tell me, who's the father? Tell me. He should know what's happening right now. You two should be solving this problem together."

Lila didn't say a word. Lila was just staring at her.

"Tell me Lila who he is! Don't worry. If he really loves you, he'll be there for you no matter what. Don't be afraid. Tell me who he is. Tell me!"

"Sorry Helga... Sorry!" Lila said again bursting into tears.

"Sorry for what Lila? Sorry for what? I don't understand."

"The man responsible for this is..."

"Who is it Lila? Who?!"

"Stinky. Stinky is responsible for this. Sorry Helga, sorry!!!"

"What do you mean Stinky? My Stinky? I can't understand! I don't understand."

"Do you remember the night where in Stingky left you early because of a phone call? It happened few months ago."

"Yes, I do remember." Helga's tears started to fall. She began trembling and said, "No, no. It can't be! It was you who called him?!"

"Yes, Helga, I'm so sorry." She began explaining. "I love Stinky, Helga. And I know he loves me too."

"You... You of all the people. You Bitch!! I thought you're my friend!! I can't believe this is happening to me. I don't deserve this kind of treatment. Especially from you! You and Stingky are both two-timer liars!" she said as she walkout her house, slamming the door.

All she felt by that time is anger. She is very hurting. As she walks hastily down the street without looking on the way, she bumped on to Arnold.

"Hey, hey, where's the fire?" Arnold asked teasingly.
