Not really sure if I'm happy with this chapter. Tell me what you guys think, review :)

It seriously felt like the first day of school all over again. The sweaty palms, jitters, and nausea. Although this time the nausea was because of morning sickness. I rode to school with Jade this morning and she had to stop when we were five minutes away so I could throw up. Now we were just kind of sitting here, on the side of the road.

I break the silence. "Come on Jade, let's just go back home. I can't deal with school today."

She sighs. "Tori, you're just going to say the same thing when you're sick tomorrow morning. You have to go because you're going to miss a lot of school when the baby is born."

I glare at her and frown, turning towards the window. "You suck Jade." I mumble and she just laughs and pulls the car back onto the road, heading to school.

We get there and she turns off the car and looks over at me. "You know you don't have to tell Ryder if you don't want to." She says.

I sigh heavily and nod. "I know, but he's gonna find out soon anyway and I already texted him and told him to meet me in the black box before class so we could talk. I kind of can't get out of it now, even though I really don't want to see him at all."

"I'm coming with you whether you like it or not then." She says sternly and I have no choice but to agree. Honestly, I want her there with me in case he tries something. I know Jade will keep me and the baby safe. She's tough as nails. I'm shaken out of my thoughts by Jade getting out and shutting her car door. I get out and shut mine, lifting my bag over my shoulder.

She snatches it away from me and lifts it over her own shoulder and I raise an eyebrow. "What was that for? I can carry my own bag." I cross my arms over my chest.

She laughs and looks at me like I'm crazy. "Didn't you know you aren't supposed to do any heavy lifting while you're pregnant? I read about it online. Also, you need more vitamin C and you need to keep crackers on your nightstand so you can eat a few when you wake up. That should help with the morning sickness."

My eyes widen and my jaw drops. I quickly close it. "What are you, my husband? Or a doctor? Because I can't figure it out."

She just grins and links her arm through mine, leading me into the school and to the black box where Ryder is already waiting. He stands up as we walk in. "Tori! I thought you might not come." He spots Jade and then looks back at me. "Why is she here?" He asks as he sends a glare her way.

I roll my eyes. "She's here because I needed support, and because she refused to let me come alone. Now what I needed to tell you is...umm...I-I'm pregnant." I bite my lip nervously.

His face pales for a minute before he's back to his calm and collected self. "I don't want anything to do with it. It's your problem now." He says and turns around and walks out.

I breathe out a sigh of relief before turning to look at Jade. "That went really well." I say and she raises an eyebrow in question. "I didn't really want him involved in my baby's life. He's nothing but scum."

She chuckles and wraps an arm around my shoulders, leading me out of the black box. "You never cease to amaze me Tori. You know?"

I grin and nod. "I know. But at least I make life interesting." She laughs in agreement and leads me to Sikowitz' class where we find seats next to each other and I prop my feet up on her lap, leaning back in my chair. She raises a pierced eyebrow. "Comfortable?" I smile and nod, leaning my head back and closing my eyes to think as Sikowitz starts class.

I wonder how Jade feels about me. She at least thinks of me as a friend, but is it anything more than that? It's not like I've got a chance anyway, she would never want to go out with me now that I'm pregnant. God, I hate this situation. I love my baby, don't get me wrong. It's just a screwed up situation.

I feel Jade's hands lightly rubbing my ankles and I sigh happily, a small smile on my face. Maybe this could turn into a good situation. Maybe she could like me the way I like her and she could help me raise this baby as ours, instead of mine and Ryder's. She did say she would help me through the whole thing.

I open my eyes and see her watching me, smiling. I return her smile and relax. Yeah, this could be the beginning to a beautiful relationship.
