The next few days passed in a blur. Tori's parents had decided that there was no point in keeping Andre at an arms length any more, considering they thought he was going to be the father of Tori's baby. They'd asked him to move in with them, telling him that if he wanted to help raise the baby there was no point not to. That also meant Andre and Tori sharing a bed. When Tori had imagined herself sharing a bed with a boy, it hadn't been like this. She loved Andre to death, he was her very best friend in the whole wide world, but she did not want to be sharing a bed with him. He snored in a way that was quiet but still loud enough to keep her awake, her moved in the bed every time she was close to getting sleep and he was a little bit of a blanket hog. Since he started sleeping next to her she'd been able to get almost no sleep. It was funny how when he'd been on the floor she'd been able to ignore him better, maybe it was because his snoring hadn't been as close to her.

She sighed. Whenever she'd imagined herself sharing a bed with anybody it had always been Beck. She'd always imagined him kissing her hair, holding her close to him and making her feel safe and loved. She'd always wanted it to be more than this. But Beck wasn't here, he wouldn't be here as long as Jade was around. Unfortunately there was very little Tori could do about that, Jade held all the cards. Tori was helpless when it came to the safety of her baby, she would do whatever it took to keep it safe. Even if it meant giving up thing she wanted most in this world, giving up the person who made her whole. She looked over at Andre's sleeping body. "Thank you." She whispered even though she knew he probably wouldn't notice. She would be forever thankful for whatever force made Trina ill at her showcase. If Trina hadn't have been ill she wouldn't have met the love of her life or her very best friend in her whole wide world. Granted, she wouldn't be in the situation right now, but she wouldn't have made a different decision that day. She knew that much.

That morning Andre bounded down the stairs full of his usual energy. He was far too energetic for a Saturday morning, Tori thought grouchily as she shuffled into the lounge and dropped on the couch. Or maybe that was her sleep deprivation talking, she thought with a small smile. "You know what I was thinking?" Andre asked cheerily as he came to sit down next to her, "I was thinking we should invite Beck, Jade, Robbie and Cat over to play poker. If your up to it, that is." He added on hastily.

Tori didn't like the idea of Jade hanging around her house but she couldn't say no. She knew Andre was still wondering what had happened to make Tori change her mind about Beck, it was a subject Tori was fervently avoiding, and any aversion to Jade now would definitely ring alarm bells. "That sounds like a great idea." Tori said with fake enthusiasm, "It would be nice to hang out with them all again."

Andre smiled, "And I was thinking," He paused and seemed to think about something before continuing, "I was thinking that we should tell the others about the baby. Its time they knew you were pregnant. Besides, if we want people to believe I'm the father, we can't just stop at your parents."

Tori sighed. The idea of telling her friends wasn't the thing that she found daunting. The idea of telling her friends with Jade in the room looking all victorious and self-satisfied was something she found daunting. Nauseating even. She swallowed the bile that rose in her throat and tried to hold off another round of morning sickness before she could answer.

"I know you're scared," Andre said grabbing her hand, "But everyone is still going to love you and if its Beck your worried about, don't be. We'll make him believe us, everything will be alright. I promise."

"Thanks Andre." She replied squeezing his hand when she was sure she wasn't going to be sick. She'd known this would have happened sooner or later, but it didn't exactly make it easier. It didn't make her want to give Jade that kind of satisfaction. But really, what other choice did she have? She couldn't risk the life of her baby, she just couldn't. "We'll tell them as soon as everyone's here, and we'll tell them together."

Andre nodded, "Alright. I did think a united front would be better anyway."

"Same," Tori said with a fake smile. How the hell was she supposed to get through this? Everything was just so messed up...

As soon as the last few people arrived Tori and Andre decided to gather them all in the living room. Tori's parents had gone out to give them some privacy and hadn't said much to Tori other than they wished her luck. Other than taking her to the doctor and forcing her to get a test to make sure she really was pregnant, although it was pretty obvious she was, they really hadn't said much to Tori since finding out. But she read the disappointment all over their faces when they looked at her, it absolutely killed her.

She snapped herself back into focus when she realised everyone was staring at her and Andre. From what she could tell Andre had just finished setting up the explanation of their news leaving Tori with the easy task of saying, "I'm pregnant. Andre's the father." As clearly as she could. She was holding onto Andre's hand tightly for support as she gauged their reactions. Robbie and Cat looked stunned, Jade looked startled yet triumphant and Beck looked like he was trying to work out an extremely complicated puzzle. "Are you sure?" Beck asked being the first to speak. Tori knew what he was asking, are you sure Andre is the father?

But she decided to answer the obvious answer to the question instead. "Yep. We went to the doctor the other day and everything, I'm 100% pregnant."

"No offence Tori, but that kind of explains a lot. You've been acting kind of weird lately." Robbie interjected from the side in his usual geeky way. He didn't have Rex with him today and for that Tori would be eternally grateful, she would not be able to deal with the wise cracking puppet on top of everything else today.

"None taken." She replied with a small smile, "What's your excuse?"

"Hey!" He shouted indignantly and everyone laughed. It felt good to laugh and it was something that Tori hadn't really done in a while, so she savoured every second of it.

"Who wants to play poker?" Andre asked and everyone jumped up and ran over to the table.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Beck asked and Tori looked back at her friends. Jade was the only one who noticed they hadn't moved over with them and now her eyes were fixed on Tori.

"Meet up upstairs later." She whispered and walked over to the table. She wasn't going to get Beck to believe Andre was the father without even talking to him. She needed to convince him it was true.

Tori waited anxiously as Beck made his way up to her room. "Sorry, I couldn't think of a decent excuse for a while." He said as he closed the door gently behind him. "What's going on Tori? Why can't we just talk like normal people?"

"Nothing is going on." She assured him and thought bitterly that she should be getting an Oscar for this. "What did you want to talk about?"

"You know what." He said seeming to have been successfully diverted, "Is there a chance I could be the father of this baby?"

"No."

"I don't believe you Tori." He said and shook his head, "Have you and Andre actually ever had sex?"

"Of course we have, he is the father of my child. Turns out you're not the only friend of mine I made a drunken mistake with."

"How close together are they?" He wondered aloud, "Could it be possible that you've got it wrong?"

"No." She said with a shake of her head, "The dates match with him, not you." She couldn't take this much longer, she thought as Beck searched her face, she was going to crack. She was going to break down and cry, she didn't want to break down and cry. She couldn't afford to. If she did Beck would know that something was wrong and she couldn't let that happen.

"Oh." Beck said and he looked... disappointed? How could he be disappointed? He just got out of become a teenage dad. "Are you two together now?"

"No." Tori replied truthfully, "We're just friends. But we are going to raise this child together."

"Let me help." Beck pleaded grabbing her hand and stepping forward so that his face was close to hers. "I don't care if its not mine, I want to help you raise it."

"What about Jade?" Tori asked an she saw indecision flicker in his eyes.

"I...I don't know."

"You said it yourself that you can't leave her, that she needs you." Tori said driving the knife further into her heart.

"I know." Beck said. But in that moment it seemed as though he couldn't control himself. In that moment it was as if the world had faded away and nothing mattered except the three of them here in this bedroom. Beck, Tori and their baby. In that moment it didn't matter about Jade West or anything else, in that moment all Tori could feel was love as Beck pressed his lips to hers.
