Chapter Two: October

Carly

Becky was sitting on the couch, watching TV, jiggling her legs, and biting her thumb nail.

"What's wrong, Becky?" I asked.

She just continued to stare at the TV.

"BECKY!"

She jumped a little. "Yeah?"

"Why do you seem do anxious?"

"I'm late."

I tilted my head and asked, "Late for what?"

She raised her eyebrows at me. "You seriously have no idea what I'm talking about?"

"No..."

"My time of the month hasn't arrived since we got back from Ireland."

It took me awhile to understand what she was saying. When i finally got it, my eyes widened. "You think you're pregnant? Does Spencer know? Why are you anxious and not happy? Wh-"

"Stop asking questions!"

"Sorry."

"Good. So. Yes, I think I'm pregnant. Spencer doesn't know. I refuse to tell him until I'm sure. Don't you tell him."

"OK. Where is he?"

"At the junkyard with Socko."

"Of course. Now, why don't you seem happy?"

"What if Spencer isn't ready yet?"

I laughed. "He'll be ready. I mean, he proposed and married you after not knowing you too long. It won't be strange having a baby so soon."

She let out a sigh of relief. "You're right. You're totally right. He'll probably go and build some crazy looking crib."

I smiled. "I know. So, you wanna go get a pregnancy test?"

"Sure. Let's call Sam and have her meet us there. But don't tell her why. I want to surprise her."

Sam

I walked up to Becky and Carly. They were waiting for me outside the drug store.

"Why the important drug store trip?" I asked.

"We're here to buy a pregnancy test," Carly told me.

"You're pregnant?!"

"NO! Becky is!" People started to stare at us.

"We think," Becky said.

"Holy chiz! A mini Spencer or Becky?"

"Yeah. Yeah," Becky said. "Can we go do this thing? I just wanna know for sure as soon as possible."

We walked in and went to the section with the pregnancy tests.

"Who knew there were so many different kinds," I said.

"I feel there's no need for five trillion of them," Becky commented.

"Which should we pick?" Carly asked.

"Um..." I said as I scanned the tests. "That one claims to be 99% accurate and easy to read."

"We definitely need one that's easy to read," Becky said.

"OK then. We get this one," I said as I grabbed it off the shelf. I thought I heard a gasp. I turned my head. I swore I saw the woman who gave birth to my boyfriend after being pregnant for eleven months.

Before I could go look, Becky yelled, "Hurry up! We gotta do this before Spencer gets home!"

"I'm coming! Just hold your sauce!" I ran off so we could go pay for the test.

Freddie

My mom came plowing into my room and yelled, "Is Sam pregnant?!"

"What?!" There was no possible way Sam could be pregnant. Becky had made us paranoid, so we're always extra careful. Like, crazy careful. We use three different ways to prevent pregnancy.

"She was at the drug store with Carly and Becky buying pregnancy test!"

I laughed. "Mom, Becky's married. Have you ever considered that it was for her?"

"Sam's the one who picked it out!"

I sighed. She wasn't going to let it go and think logically. "You wanna go over to Carly's place and see that I'm right?"

"Fine." She grabbed my wrist, and led me across the hall.

We walked in and saw the three women sitting on the couch watching a timer.

"Ugh. Is it almost time?" Sam asked impatiently.

"I KNEW IT!" mom yelled.

Becky and Carly screamed. Sam looked at my mom as if it was all no big deal.

"What are you going on about?" Sam asked.

"You're pregnant!"

Becky laughed. "Sam and Freddie aren't having sex," she lied. I thanked God Pucketts are excellent liars.

"See? I told you, mom."

"Then who's pregnant?" mom asked.

"Becky," Carly told her. The timer dinged.

Becky took a deep breath and looked at the test. I saw her eyes light up. Sam and Carly leaned in to get a look as well. They both squealed and hugged Becky.

"Becky, you're having a baby?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

She nodded. "Holy shit! I'm gonna be a mommy!"

"What?!" We al turned to see Spencer standing in the doorway.

"We're having a baby, dear," Becky told him.

Spencer let out a victory cry, ran up to his wife, picked her up, spun her around, and gave her a kiss.

Carly jumped up and down while clapping. "There's gonna be a baby in the house!"

"Thank goodness Sam isn't pregnant," my mom said then left.

Carly

It was the day of my Halloween party. But before I had to get prepared for the party-I usually spend all day setting up-Sam, Freddie, and I were going on a little field trip with Spencer and Becky. It was Becky's first doctor's appointment.

"I'm so jazzed," Becky said. "I wonder how long this thing's been cooking in my uterus."

"It's not a pie, Becky," Sam said.

"Mmmm. Pie. We should go get some after."

"Shoosh yeah," Spencer said. "We al ready to go?"

"YES!" my friends and I yelled.

We were all sitting in the examining room while the nurse put the goop on Becky's stomach.

At first, the nurse didn't want so many people to be in the room. But Sam threatened her, so she let us in.

"We'll be needing several copies of the ultrasound picture," Becky told the nurse.

"Um. OK. How many?"

"Let's see. One for me and my husband. One for my cousin. One for my cousin's boyfriend. One for my sister-in-law. One for my other cousin. One for my parents. And one for my father-in-law."

"So, seven?"

"Yup."

"Can we just see the baby already?" Sam asked.

"Yes, miss," the nurse said with fear. She didn't want Sam to rip her head off.

The nurse put the thingie-I have no idea what it's called-onto Becky's stomach. We heard the little heart beat. I saw tears in Becky's eyes. Sam grabbed Freddie's hand as well as mine.

Freddie tilted his head. "Do I hear two heart beats?"

"Yes, you do," the nurse told him.

"Wait. What does that mean?" Spencer asked.

We all looked at him and happily yelled, "TWINS!"

I sat in the waiting room with Sam and Freddie while Spencer and Becky talked to the doctor.

"Wow. Twins," Freddie said.

"I wonder who they'll take after," I mused.

"Puckett genes are pretty strong," Sam told us.

"Oh no," Freddie said.

"What?"

"Our children will be like you. We'll be bailing one out of prison every other day."

"I'm sure one will turn out like you."

Freddie snorted. "Yeah right."

"We can keep popping them out until we get a nerd."

"Thanks."

I laughed at them. Though I was kind of jealous at the same time. My friends knew that they'd someday marry each other and have children. They're so in love they had no doubts about it.

Meanwhile, Griffen and I were simply living in the now. I loved him, and believed he loved me, but we never said we were in love. We were nothing like Sam and Freddie or Spencer and Becky. It made me a little sad.

Becky and Spencer came out.

"They're due in June!" Becky shouted.

Sam and I ran up to hug her.

"Can we go get pie now?" Sam asked.

Sam

I looked at myself in Carly's mirror and said to her, "I wonder what Spencer and Becky are dressing as."

It was almost time for her Halloween party, and we were finishing getting dressed.

"No clue, Barbie," she said to me.

"You should know, Juliet. You live with them."

"Sorry."

All of us were dressing up as famous couples. Carly and Griffen were Romeo and Juliet. She was wearing a beautiful blue gown. Gibby told me he and Tasha were being Batman and Cat Woman. Freddie and I were Barbie and Ken. I was wearing a skimpy pink dress, and pink heels. I borrowed the outfit from Carly.

"Let's get down there," Carly said. "Maybe they'll show us their costumes before the party starts."

The party had started and we hadn't seen the newlyweds yet.

Freddie came up to me, and handed me a plate of ham.

"Thanks. Oh. by the way, sexy blazer, Fredward." He was wearing a blue blazer over a white button up.

He laughed. "Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself, Puckett."

"I know. Mama's a hottie."

"Hey, guys," Gibby said as he came up to us. "Great costumes."

"You too, Gibby," Freddie said cautiously.

Gibby had on black pants, a Batman mask, and a cape on. His upper body was painted black, and he had the Batman symbol on his stomach. Only Gibby.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Spencer and Becky come out of their room. When I got a good look at them, I cracked up. "Joseph and the Virgin Mary?!"

Freddie laughed as well.

"What?" Becky asked. "I'm preggers. It works."

"Except you're so not a virgin," I pointed out.

"Oh shut up, Sammie," she said playfully. "Let's party."

It was an awesome party. But I couldn't help noticing how sad Carly looked. I sensed things with her and Griffen were going to go bad soon.

So. How do guys feel about Spencer and Becky's future children? Are you excited? I know I am.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Feel free to review. You guys always leave awesome reviews.
