Disclaimer: Just to clear something up I own nothing. Actually I do own something, but nothing mentioned in this fic.

A/N: This is a collection of one shots/drabbles/etc completely based on my fanfic, "Sweet Home Minnesota". These will be pre/post/missing moments/etc from the fic.


She was pregnant. She had someone living inside her. She was positive she was pregnant. She had bought a pregnancy test when she missed her period two months in a row. The first time she wasn't worried, sometimes she did miss her period. It wasn't regular; she was an athlete after all. She peed on the stick and waited the ten minutes, she checked the result and there was a smiley face staring at her.

"No. I can't be." Connie said to herself as she headed to buy another test. She had learned from watching too many soap operas with her mom that pregnancy tests weren't always reliable and sometimes you needed to buy another test to be certain. Guy was playing a video game with Charlie and knew he wouldn't mind if she borrowed his truck. She took the keys off the coffee table, but didn't say anything. Looking at the clock she rushed out the door.

She'd have to hurry if she wanted to be back before curfew. Connie drove a few towns over, in case word got around, as she had the day before. She decided not to go to the same store she went to yesterday, and pulled into a convenience store's parking lot.

Inside the store she decided to buy two tests just to be sure. The cashier looked at her but didn't say anything.


When she got back to the dorms Guy was waiting for her. "Where were you? You took the truck?"

Connie clutched her messenger bag which contained the pregnancy tests. "I had to do something. You were playing with Charlie; I didn't want to disturb you."

"We weren't playing, we were uh…well we weren't playing." Charlie defended. Guy hit him across the chest.

Connie rolled her eyes. "Look I've got to do something. Here." She handed Guy his keys and started up the stairs to her dorm. "If you see Julie send her up, okay?"

"Okay?" Guy said turning to Charlie, "What was that about?"

"Hell if I know."

Safely back in her room she ran to the small bathroom and began the process over again, twice. One gave you a result in fifteen minutes and the other twenty.

Connie paced for a while keeping her eyes on the clock, when she realized the time wasn't passing any faster she undid her hair and began re-braiding it. She, being nervous and impatient ended up only tangling her hair and gave up. After the struggle with her hair Connie checked the clock she still had nine minutes before she'd get a result from the first test.

"Ugh!"

The door opened. It was Guy. "Cons are you okay?"

Connie hurried over to the door. "I'm fine just busy. I'll come down in a bit."

Guy frowned, "I know you're lying." He kissed her forehead and left, leaving her there. She blinked trying to fight back the tears. She knew she was pregnant. She just knew.

Still standing there when Julie came, Connie hugged her and immediately broke down. "Connie, what's wrong?"

"Jules, I screwed up." Connie sobbed. "It's all my fault."

Taken aback Julie thought maybe something happened with Guy. "What happened? Did something happen between you and Guy? He told me you wanted to talk to me."

Julie had managed to guide Connie to her bed to sit. "He's going to hate me. I just know it."

"Honey, you are not making any sense. Why would Guy hate you? He's absolutely in love with you." Julie said, not understanding what was going on it her friend.

She watched Connie get up and go to the bathroom and return with a pregnancy test. "Is that a- ?" Connie showed her it. "Oh my god. Are you sure? Those things aren't always reliable!"

"That's why I bought two more. I was waiting for the results when you came." Connie said throwing away the one in her hands.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Julie asked. Connie glanced at the clock, "The first one should be ready now, the other in five minutes." The girls went into the bathroom to check the pregnancy test.


Connie was crying even harder then before. She was close to hyperventilating. Julie wasn't much better. All three tests came back positive. She was for a fact pregnant.

"It'll be okay. It will be. You and Guy will live happily ever after, you'll see." Julie franticly told her. "Guy will stick by you. You have us, ducks."

"I'm a whore." Was all Connie said in response.

"No you're not!"

"Yes I am. I've had sex before marriage, and I'm sixteen and pregnant. People are going to hate me." Connie cried.

Julie looked at her. "Cons, you're not a whore. Most people now days have sex before marriage. Just because you are sixteen and pregnant it doesn't have to be a bad thing. You are bringing a life into this world, people love babies! Besides you and Guy love each other, it's not like it was some random hook up."

"Julie, you don't understand. Where I live, where the original district 5 ducks are from the neighborhood isn't the best. Girls younger then us get pregnant. Hockey was suppose to keep me from this." She pointed to her belly. "I wasn't suppose to end up like this. I was suppose to escape. But it didn't happen." Connie let Julie take her words in and continued, "I was suppose to be better from all them. Now when people look at me they'll just see another dirty whore."

Julie sighed, "Connie, please don't call yourself a whore. You're not no matter what others think. They don't know you."

But Connie ignored her. "I also probably screwed up my body. Who knows if I'll be able to play hockey. I'll probably get fat and have no control over my bladder." Connie realized something. "What am I going to do about school? I can't drop out. I don't want to be like one of them."

"What about your parents? Guy's?" Julie asked.

"Oh my god. I have to tell them! They're going to freak. Hell I'm going to freak." Connie said. "Guy's parents barely care about him; somehow I doubt they're going to care about their grandbaby."

"I'm sure your parents will help, though."

"They will I'm sure of it. I might have seriously screwed up but they love me and I'm sure they'd do anything to help or at lease I hope so." Connie had calmed a lot.

Julie noticing calming Connie decided to ask, "What do you think it is?"

"How the hell am I suppose to know? I'm only –Oh my god. I don't even know when I got pregnant!" Julie shook her head as Connie really did begin to hyperventilate.

"Breath, sweetie." Julie told her. In the smallest voice she could muster she suggested, "Maybe at the party?"

"Ugh. You're probably right. I'm so stupid; I never should have drank that night."

"You know that Guy was there, it's partly his fault." Julie pointed out.

Connie shook her head, but didn't say anything else about it.

Julie took the moment to try to ease the tension, "Well what do you want it to be?"

Connie stopped and smiled. "Do you even have to ask? A girl of course!" The girls laughed, "Julie, promise me something."

"Yeah, what?"

"Never have sex with Portman." Connie said seriously.

"I'm with Adam now."

"Really?" Julie nodded. "Well don't have sex with Adam!"
