Hey hey hey =) How's it going? Everything's going good over here, nothing to complain about =P. Another chapter is among us. And personally, something in here may shock you just as much as Jeanette being pregnant. Now, I just want to clear something that "Simonette 4eva" brought up. Yes, Simon is the father of the baby(ies). I HATE mixed couples with a passion. The only mixed couple stories I will ever read, are ones that end with the normal pairings. Just wanted to clear that up before you read any further. So, here is the next chapter. Enjoy! And please review! =D
Jeanette waddled through the halls trying to find her guidance counselor's office. She finally found it about ten minutes after she had been sent there. She knocked on the door, and a moment passed before the door finally opened. The office was dim. A tall woman with long mahogany hair was shutting the shades, making the room darker.
"Take a seat," she told Jeanette. Her voice was crystal clear, and sounded like bells chiming. It was beautiful. Jeanette followed her instructions, and carefully sat down in a seat. Minutes after she arrived, there was another knock on the door. The guidance counselor opened the door, and Simon walked in. She motioned to the chair next to Jeanette, and he sat down next to her.
"Once again, you've awoken in a strange place," the woman said. "Well, I seem to be getting off on the wrong foot. My name is Isabella,"
"Hi," they both replied, unanimously.
"From what I understand, you have met my friend Giselle, correct?"
They nodded.
"Well, I am in the same condition as her. We are alike in every way, except the in one. Can you guess what that one way is?"
They both shook their heads, no.
"Giselle is much more lenient than I. My tasks will be much more challenging than hers. Personally, I think she let you off the hook too easily,"
Jeanette gulped, and Simon laid his paw on top of hers.
"As you can see, you are in a much different condition than you ever would have thought," she motioned to Jeanette's bloated belly. "And, things will be much different with me in charge."
"Um, Isabella? How long will we be here?" Jeanette asked, afraid of the answer.
"As long as I choose,"
"But, what about this?" she made a large circle around her abdomen.
"You have two months before you have to worry about that, however, who's to say you won't be here longer than that?" she raised her eyebrows, and an evil grin spread across her face.
Jeanette gulped again.
"Do you have any questions?"
They both shook their head no, as the bell rang.
"Report to your second period class then. And don't worry, Jeanette, Kat has your bag,"
"What about our schedules? We don't know where we're going,"
Isabella opened a drawer, and pulled out two pieces of paper. She handed one to each of them. They stood up and walked out of the room. As soon as they did, she re-opened the shades, and sat down at the desk.
Simon and Jeanette walked to their next class together. It was just down the hall. They didn't talk, their silence kept each other company. Kat was waiting outside of the classroom, with Jeanette's bag. Jeanette took the bag from her hand, and walked into the classroom, where an older man was furiously typing on a computer that was connected to a smartboard. Jeanette turned around to Kat, who sighed and pointed to the seat she would sit in. It was right next to an open window. Jeanette sat in the seat closest to the window, Simon sat next to her, Kat sat next to him, and a small boy sat next to Kat, completing the row. The boy was drawing a picture of a lizard in his notebook. Jeanette sat back in her chair, and took a deep breath. As soon as she did, she was sorry. She immediately covered her nose, and gagged. The smell coming into the room was horrendous.
"What's that smell?" she asked, still covering her face. The smell had made her incredibly nauseous.
Kat took a deep breth through her nose, and then wrinkled her face. "It's marijuana,"
"Marijuana? Who does weed outside of a school?"
"Your sister," Kat replied, flatly.
Jeanette's eyes flew wide open. "Brittany does weed?"
"Brittany? Brittany doesn't go to school anymore. I'm talking about Eleanor,"
She had forgotten that Brittany said she was going to work earlier that morning. But this news took her completely by shock. "What?"
"I said Eleanor does weed. Theodore, too,"
Jeanette chocked back a sob. Eleanor? There was no way. She was smarter than that. She would never, ever do anything like that. Theodore wouldn't either. She was in disbelief. She grabbed onto Simon's arm, and he gently rubbed it in return. Suddenly, the man at the front of the room stood up, and turned the smartboard on. He presented a slide show, telling the class they didn't have to copy any of the notes. After his period was over, the rest of the day seemed to fly by. Their eighth period teacher had a sub, and the boy who had drawn the lizard in his notebook was obviously the class clown.
"He guys! Look! I'm an eraser!" he wiped his head across the chalk board, erasing half of the review pages the substitute had written. Half of the class had burst out laughing, and the boy had a grin of superiority on his face.
"That is just utter stupidity," Kat commented, looking down at her phone. The bell rang right after that, and the boy dashed out of the classroom, with several other boys following him. Jeanette stood up, carefully, of course. Simon walked out behind her, and Kat followed him.
"Well, I'm off to drama club. I'll see you both tomorrow. You will be ok walking home, right?"
They nodded. She turned around, and walked in the direction opposite of them. Jeanette lead him to the elevator, and they stopped on together. However, they wouldn't speak a word to each other, until they were a safe distance away from the school.
"Can you believe this is happening again?" Jeanette asked, worriedly.
"No, I actually can't. I especially can't believe that," he pointed to her swollen middle, and she glanced down at it.
"Neither can I." she sighed.
"What are we supposed to do if we aren't out of here before it comes along?"
"How am I supposed to know? I never expected any of this," for the millionth time that day, she felt tears welling in her eyes. This was a problem she couldn't fix. When Simon noticed that she had started crying, he felt guilty. He wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders, and pulled her close. It was hard for them to stay too close though, because of her protruding stomach. She wiped the tears away, but was still sniffling as they approached their home. Simon looked through his book-bag for a set of keys, and found them before they reached the house. He unlocked the door, as Jeanette waddled up the steps. The first place she went to when she walked into the house was the small couch. Her legs were aching from all of the walking she did today, and the extra weight in her middle did not help that at all. Her ankles and feet were swollen from all of the pressure she had put on them over the course of the day. Her back was cramped, and she wanted nothing more at this moment than to relax. She plopped down, and breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she did. She rested her one of her paws on her large stomach. No sooner then she did, she pulled it away as if she had been burned. As Simon sat down next to her after a few minutes, and he rubbed her arm.
"I just felt the weirdest thing," she said suddenly.
"What was that?" he asked.
"When I put my paw right here," she demonstrated. "I felt this odd flutter."
He shrugged. He didn't know what it meant, any more than she did. She stopped him from rubbing her arm, and guided his paw to where the had felt the sensation.
"Do you feel it?" she asked. He nodded, and smiled.
"I think that's the baby," he concluded.
"Really?" she asked. He nodded again, but didn't remove his paw. He kept it there. Then, he gently kissed her cheek. She giggled and placed her paw on top of his. And they sat there, for a long time, just resting their paws on Jeanette's bump.
To be continued...
AWWWW! Such a cute ending! The middle was a little twisted (you know, with Theodore and Eleanor smoking weed and stuff) but you have to admit, the ending was cute. I'm smiling as I'm reading this. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. As usual, I've been thinking about it all day today. So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please please please review! It means so much! =D And until tomorrow, Peace, Love, and Chipmunks.
