Janet was cleaning her new store and listened music from MP3 player so she almost didn't notice that her cell phone rang. She stopped and took her phone and answered. "Hey Janet. Meet me after twenty minutes at Best Friend Windows. I have made the calculations and plans. I want to show them to you before weekend." Nick said. "Already, God you were fast. What about Eddie. Is he there?" Janet asked and tried to maintain cool. "I don't think so. He is having lunch date so I think it's only you and me if it's okay?" Nick asked. "It's more than okay. I don't need to avoid him anymore but things are still pretty fragile. No need to make him uncomfortable." Janet said. "I know. These things need time, but I'll see you in a bit." Nick said. Janet collected her things and went to the back door. She locked the door and was going to grab some sandwich from deli. She was just walking between the buildings when she noticed something disturbing. Ray was giving something to Matt Lauch backyard of the hardware store. Was it payment from job or were they still connected. It was easy to see that they were trying to hide. Janet get pissed as she watched those too and eager to tell everything to boys tomorrow with Karen. Hannah was waiting Ray's baby but if he had deceived her, it should come out before not after the wedding.
Eddie was hammering some casket to open when Rory came from door. They were in store's backroom. "Well, hello there." Eddie said and rose to his knees. "At this moment I see something purely desirable so you don't dare to move." Rory said whispering and taking away her clothes when walking towards Eddie. Same time Janet was eating rest of her sandwich. She then threw garbage to the bin and headed to Best Friend Windows. In there Rory was pleasing Eddie and kissing him all over. "Nick could come any minute now." Eddie said. "Shh…"Rory just said smiling. Janet came from the front door to the shop. Door was open but no one seemed to be there. "Hello. It's Janet. Nick, where are you?" Janet asked and then she heard some noise from back room. "Okay, working hard. Once they are boys with their scooters and suddenly all grown men with their tools." Janet said to herself smiling and opened the door. And what she saw was Eddie and Rory doing it. Just a while Janet stared at them not knowing what to do or say. "Ups. Sorry about this." Rory said as she took something to cover herself. "Don't be sorry. I mean it's all my…sorry." Janet said as tears came running to her cheeks. She closed the door and ran to the street. Eddie just stared the door and was so ashamed that didn't know how to face Janet ever again. "So, she seemed upset. How about you? " Rory asked looking at Eddie. "I don't know" Eddie lied and Rory could tell that from his eyes."
Eddie was pacing nervously from his desk to window and yet back. In some point he had even hoped that Janet could face the fact that he was moving on with full steam. But now when it happened it didn't satisfy him at all. It hurt him to see how it affected on her. Nick came from the door. "Hey, shouldn't you be out with Rory. Janet is coming soon and I know things are still difficult between you two." Nick said. "She was here" Eddie said and wanted to end this talk before it started. "What happened? Things didn't remain civil? Did you two finally get everything out and open?" Nick asked. "No, no fight, no talk, no nothing like that." Eddie said impatiently. "Then what" Nick asked. "I was leveling things." Eddie growled. Then Nick's cell phone started to rang. "Hi Nick. Sorry that I bailed. Can we look those papers tomorrow? Karen and I have some things we need to discuss with all of you so we are coming to band practice." Janet said. "It's okay. What things? Nick asked. "You hear all about it tomorrow." Janet promised. "Hey Janet, are you okay?" Nick asked. "I have to be and someday I will." Janet said and hung up. "What did she say?" Eddie asked. "Nothing about the incident, Janet is putting all her energy to get past what happened with you two. Your bitterness doesn't help her or you and you know that. She and Karen are coming tomorrow to meet whole gang with something to discuss. It's first time she is coming to us after your split." Nick told him. "It has to be something big. I mean she has been avoiding me for whole month. We only started to come into understanding how to be in serious relationship. Now we are no near to understand how to be apart." Eddie said and Nick put his hand on to his back trying to console.
"Mom, what's this? It had fallen of from bin. I mean it says…pregnancy test. So who is pregnant?" Sam asked and looked suspicious. Hannah stopped putting the laundry to the washing machine. There was no way she could lie about this. "Come here baby." Hannah said and they sat at kitchen table. "It's mine. I took it yesterday." Hannah said. "Mom, are you pregnant?" Sam asked. "I saw my doctor this morning and I believe I am. So, what do you think about this. It's all of sudden and even Ray doesn't know about this yet." Hannah asked. Sam sat in silence for a while and Hannah looked at him worried. Then little smile spread to his face. "Now that I have had some time to think about it I think its okay we're having a baby." Sam said smiling and his mother took him for bear hug.
