Right, so here's the next chapter. Ikarishipping and Pokeshipping is mentioned here quite obviously. And there's some CS fluff, if I do say so myself. ENJOY! And review. Oh, and I may not get another chapter in till' Saturday night, so I hope this slightly longer chapter makes up for it. Oh, and the first person who guesses what TV show it is that I got Drew's nickname for May from gets a special mention, and maybe a one-shot dedicated to them. :D

-3-

"So what're planning on doing now?" Drew asked May, who was buckling her seatbelt.

"Eh? I dunno." May replied, stunned. Truthfully, she thought that Drew was going to send her straight back to her apartment once they were done, which is why she was very surprised when he asked her that question.

"Wanna go catch a movie or something?" Drew asked her. "It's not a date." He explained hurriedly. He smirked at her, "Just thought that I should get to know my baby mama more."

May raised an eyebrow, "Baby mama?"

"Yeah, I heard it on a show once, and I thought it was cool." Drew answered.

"You watch TV?" May acted shocked. Drew laughed. Then a thought occurred to him.

"Are you working?" Drew asked her.

"Well, yeah, just not on weekends. I work in an office, doing administrative stuff. Dawn works in the cubicle beside me, she's my friend. Misty's the secretary, she's also a friend."

Dawn and Misty... Where had Drew heard those names before?

"Wait, are Dawn and Misty related to a Paul and Ash by any chance?" He asked her.

"Actually, yes. Dawn and Paul have been together for two years, they're engaged. Misty and Ash are married, quite recently, three or four months ago. Oh God, you should have been there when he proposed. The funniest thing ever." May emphasised her statement by letting out a laugh. "So you know Paul and Ash?"

Drew grinned. "Yeah. Only for two months, ever since I came back, but they're cool guys. Well, Paul is cool, a bit emo if you ask me. And Ash is just...dense, but he has a good heart."

May nodded. "Yeah, well, Dawn and Misty are the exact opposites of their 'soul-mates'. Dawn's all bubbly Little Miss Sunshine, and Misty's the most mature and violent girl I've ever met, while Ash wouldn't hurt a fly. Huh, opposites do attract."

"I guess so... So anyway, where do you wanna go? I've been driving around aimlessly for the past five minutes. What a waste of petrol." Drew said, as he looked at his gas meter while May rolled her eyes.

"How about a movie? Life As We Know It just opened, and the baby's adorable. Plus, Josh Duhamel is hot." May grinned, and Drew sighed.

"But the reviews said that it isn't that good. I heard that The Takers are awesome. How about that?" He suggested.

"Aww, but I want to watch Life As We Know It." May pouted, folding her arms.

Drew blinked, then laughed. This was a scene he was far too familiar with...

"I want that." May said. Drew stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to face his best friend. She was a few feet behind him, staring into the glass window of a toy store. Sighing, Drew jogged back to her and squinted to see what she wanted through the window. Using the finger she was pointing as a sort of indicator.

"You want a teddy bear, May?" Drew asked. She nodded her head. "Well, go and buy it." She wrung both her hands, indicating she had no money. Then she turned to look at Drew, pouting slightly, arms folded across her chest. That's how the ten-year-old-girl managed to get a teddy bear. When she kissed his cheek as a thank you, he quickly wiped it off. He did not need girl cooties on him.

"Okay, okay, we'll go see Life As We Know It." He relented, and May beamed at him.

They reached the cinema ten minutes before the movie was showing, so Drew bought the tickets and the popcorn, salt for May, which he found weird since she loved the sweet ones, and sweet for...well, May too, in case she decided she wanted that too. He also bought them each a soft drink, and after May took a sip of hers, she had to run to the toilet.

The movie was so-so, really. Quite clichéd, but it had a happy ending, and Drew knew May was a sucker for happy endings, or at least, if she was still the same person she was eight years ago. Halfway through the movie, while Drew was spacing out, May leaned over and whispered in his ear, 'Pay attention, we could learn something from this.' That caused Drew to stare wide-eyed at the screen for the rest of the movie.

"So, it wasn't so that bad, right?" May grinned, once they were out of the theatre, bumping her hip against his. Drew grinned, and put an arm around May's shoulder. It wasn't in any way a love gesture, more like a long-lost friendship-finally-found-again type of gesture.

"Nope." Drew said. And it was true; he had learnt a lot of things from the movie. Like to bring a cap just in case your baby needed too poop. One valuable lesson.

Just then a group of teenage boys, maybe fifteen years or so, walked past May and Drew, wolf-whistling and cat-calling. Drew glared at them. What is with people flirting with May when she was obviously his? Not that she was his girlfriend or anything, but hell, she had his baby. And even if they didn't know that, wouldn't it be obvious when he had his arm around her?

"Looks like someone's jealous." May teased, smiling up at him.

"No one's jealous, baby mama. No need to be delusional." He told her. Nonetheless he wrapped his arm just a little tighter around her.

"So, are you sending me back now?" May asked him, and Drew nodded. There was this feeling in him, that didn't want to be separated from May. Of course, he covered it up by saying he didn't want to be separated from his baby, but we all know the truth. Drew was in denial. Heavy denial. The next idea that popped into his head was crazy, verging on insanity, but it made him feel better.

They had reached his car by then, and he walked over to the passenger's side to open the door for her, as any gentleman would do. As she settled into the seat, he leaned against the door. "Hey May."

"Hmm?"

"Do you wanna move in with me?" He asked.

To say she was surprised would be the understatement of the century. I mean, seriously, just the day before she was certain that he loathed her, then in the morning he acted indifferent towards her, then he acted civil, then he acted like they're best friends again and now he's asking her to move in with him?

Like, what the hell.

"Are you delusional, Drew?" May cried, unable to resist calling him the name he had used on her.

"Well, no, but I think it would be better."

"Better like how exactly?" May interrogated, turning in her seat to face him, arms folded.

"Well, first of all, I think it'd be better for the baby. I don't think he'd wanna be separated from his father for long periods of time." May raised an eyebrow at this, and Drew knew he deserved it. That was one pathetic excuse for a reason.

"Number two, I'll have to make sure that no guy harms you." Now that's more like it. "I mean, I was here with you the entire time, and they still couldn't resist flirting with you in some way. Hell, even the doctor couldn't resist." May sighed. He did have a valid point. It was worse on other days.

"And well..." He trailed off.

"Well?" May prompted.

Drew sighed, ran his fingers through his hair and looked at May. She stared right back, challenging him to break the gaze.

"I guess, I just want my best friend back."

That did it. The next thing Drew knew, May had her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Oh, Drewy, I've missed you." She said into his neck, where she buried her head into. He hugged her back. "Yeah, me too."

While standing there, in each other's arms, they were both reminiscing on the same moment that happened eight years ago.

"Oh, Drewy, please don't go. Please." May begged, hugging him tightly at the airport. He hugged his best friend back, rubbing circles on her back. He was trying his best not to start bawling, and May wasn't making it any easier, what with her miserable sobs shaking her entire frame, in turn causing him to tremble too.

"I'm sorry, May, but I have to." He told her. But he didn't want to.

"But you can't. You're my best friend. We haven't done any of the things best friends are supposed to do, like have sleepovers where we don't sleep or go for a manicure together or get our hair done or go spy on some really cute guys." She sobbed. Though it really wasn't the time to, Drew laughed.

"May, those are things you do with your girl best friends. Not boy best friends." He told her. She was silent a while, contemplating this. Then she hugged him tighter, "Well, then I don't wanna do those things anymore, because I don't want to have another best friend."

She held him at an arm's length, her fingers interlocked with his. "You're my best friend Drew. My one and only best friend in the entireeeeeeeeee universe." She stated, and Drew couldn't hold it in anymore.

He started bawling.

Once they broke apart, May looked up at him with tear-filled eyes and said, "We'll make it work, right Drew?"

At a loss for words and overcome with emotion from everything that happened the last few days, from getting to know he'd be a father to getting his best friend in the entire universe back, he just nodded and said solemnly, "We will."

So it was agreed that May would move in with him the next weekend. He would come over Friday evening and help her pack, staying the night if they weren't done by a certain time. But for now that was the least of their problems.

The current problem was that they'd have to break the news to their respective friends that they were going to be parents.

May smiled as she walked towards Drew, who was leaning against his car, the following morning. He had told her that he would be sending her to work for the next few months, and May had allowed him to, because who was she kidding, it beat having to take the subway every day.

"Morning baby mama." He said, as he hugged her.

"Morning Drewy."

"So... You ready to break the news to them?" He asked, and she shivered involuntarily, already predicting, and dreading, both her friends' reactions.

"Nope. But I'm going to tell them today. Because they won't take too kindly if I tell them after my bump is visible."

"My friends are going to beat me into a pulp either way, especially since I'm the single one but I have a kid on the way." Drew joked, trying to lighten the mood, since May was obviously tense. He read that stress was not good for the baby.

It worked. She let out a soft giggle before straightening her back and looking him directly in the eyes.

"I'm ready."

-3-

"Good morning!" May chirped, in a voice that was way too high to be considered normal. Dawn and Misty stopped mid-conversation, Misty sitting on Dawn's desk. They both stared at her.

"What...?" She mumbled nervously, trying to disguise a nervous cough with a giggle, and failing miserably.

They continued staring at her, both of them raising their eyebrows.

Dawn was in her late teens, and you could see that from her features which stamped her as an innocent little girl. She had big blue eyes that matched her midnight-blue hair, which was currently tied up in a high ponytail, standard office rule. She wore a short skirt, pink in colour, and a blue button-down top two sizes too big for her, and May wondered idly if she had spent the night at Paul's.

Misty was a redhead with a fiery attitude that burned in her blue eyes, her short hair tied to the side. Working as a secretary, the boss allowed her more freedom in attire. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a simple polo shirt. If it wasn't for the wedding ring that glittered gloriously on her finger, no one would have guessed she was a wife at her tender age of twenty-three.

"You okay May?" Dawn asked.

May gulped. "Yep, just fine." She squeaked.

Narrowing her eyes, Misty said, "Lunch time. You. Spill."

As Drew stepped into the building, he knew he was early since there was hardly anyone there. Save for, of course, his friends, Paul and Ash.

Paul was listening to his Ipod, probably some emo song, looking moody and gloomy. His light purple hair hung limply around his face, his eyes closed. He wore dark jeans, and a button-down top.

Ash on the other hand, was reading a book, trying to decipher the words and having difficulty doing so since he was reading it upside down. Drew sighed and turned it the right way round for him, and Ash smiled at him gratefully, his brown eyes alight with mischief. His spiky black hair was hidden by his signature cap. He wore a jacket and a pair of jeans. Seriously, Drew could not believe this guy was married.

"Lunch time. Here. I've got something to say." He told Ash before leaving to his cubicle.

He left too early to notice the look that Ash and Paul shared after he said that.

-3- Lunch time -3-

"Okay..." May and Drew said, at different locations to different people, but at the exact same time.

"I'm pregnant." May blurted just as Drew calmly said, "I got a girl pregnant."

"WHAT?" Screamed Misty and Paul, while Dawn and Ash said "A baby!" in happiness, clapping their hands.

May and Drew sighed. This was going to be a long day.
