I had just received Angel's text message saying that her and Ari would pick me up in a few minutes when the front door slammed against the wall and mum's voice echoed through the house.

"Ella Valencia Martinez get your butt down here before I ground it though to the next millennium!" Mum screamed up the stairwell.

Uh-oh.

I stumbled down the stairs to come face to face with a red faced mum.

"Hey mum, what's up?" I asked nervously.

"Would you like to explain to me how you MANAGED TO GET PREGNANT?" Mum shouted as Iggy walked through the door and Max's footsteps halted at the bottom of the stairs.

"You got my sister pregnant?" Max yelled. She climbed down the remaining steps and stood in front of Iggy in her threatening position. "You better hope that Ella forgives you for knocking her up or else you're dead."

"Iggy and Ella did the hanky-panky?" Angel cried from the doorway were she and Ari were standing. Great, more people to enjoy my misery. The only people that don't know are Gazzy, Fang and-

"Nudge! Ella's pregnant with Iggy's baby!'

-Nudge.

I mean, sure she came up with the whole baby scheme but she didn't know that it had spiralled out of control. Surely she'd tell everyone that it was just a wise crack. That none of it had really happened. That I was still a virgin.

But then again, this is Nudge we're talking about so I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised when she gasped and played dumb... Over dramatic much?

Eventually everyone's words became a big jungle of nonsense and I just gave up my hope of ever understanding.

That was, until mum's voice cut through the chorus of conversations.

"Everyone, shut up!" She yelled and everyone turned to face her.

"That's better. Now everyone needs to relax, okay? Ella, have you taken a pregnancy test yet?" Mum's voice was kind and gentle... well as gentle as someone who just found out from her daughter's boyfriend that she may be 'with child'.

I shake my head no and mum seems to relax considerably. "Okay, go down to the pharmacy with Nudge and get a pack. Until that happens, Angel and Ari, go on your date, Iggy, you will stay in my site and Max, you are forbidden from killing the father of this potential baby."

Max looked at everyone before stomping back up the stair and slamming the door to her room.

"She's taking the break up badly," Nudge, Iggy and I explained to the hurt looking mum.

"I'll talk to her after. Now everyone go do their designated jobs!" Mum ordered and spun on her heels to go to the kitchen, a cowering Iggy trailing behind her.

"nudge, what ones do I get?" I asked my sister, holding up the two boxes of pregnancy tests. One had the pink plus signs and blue minus' the other had the double line to symbolize that a person was 'with child'.

"I dunno, there are so many!" Nudge whined. "I mean some say pregnant, some turn red when you pee, others have plus signs and don't get me started on the double lines, dots and dashes!"

"Nudge," I snapped. "Just pick a damn box."

"Whatever ones are cheapest, it's not like you're actually testing to see if you're pregnant or not." The girl had a point so I put the double line one down and took the trust pink plus sign test to the counter to pay for.

"Oh my gosh, Ella!" The lady at the desk with the name tag that read 'Sheryl' called. Pretty much everyone here knows Max, Nudge and I because of the times when mum sends us over when we're helping her at work. Sheryl looked at the box. "You didn't do something naughty now, did you?"

"No, mum just needs them for something," I said, technically not lying. "I think it might be for a patient or something."

"Phew, glad to hear that a good girl like you didn't do anything stupid."

I smiled, handed over the money mum gave me, and headed back home.

***DR M POV***

Something struck me suspicious about this whole thing of Ella being pregnant.

For a start the only thing that has happened so far is that she's skipped her period which could just be running late this month.

Apart from that there's nothing. No morning sickness. No cravings. And she's on the pill anyway for her cramps... Ella's on the pill!

"James!" I yelled as I spun around to face him. He looked worried, maybe because he might have gotten my baby girl pregnant or maybe because I had just used his real name. And I have NEVER used his real name.

"Dr Martinez, put the knife down and no one gets hurt," Iggy soothed cautiously. I was confused until I realised I had just been chopping up carrots.

"Whoops. Sorry, Iggy," I apologized. "But I have some good news."

"You're not going to cut me up and make Iggy soup?" Iggy joked.

"Come on, be serious. This is great news."

"Well come on then! Don't leave me hanging."

"Ella can't be pregnant," I explained.

"Huh? How is that possible? You just admitted like five minutes ago that she just might be."

"I know what I said but it's not possible." Iggy still looked confused so I explained in more detail."

"You know The Pill?" I asked and he nodded. "Well some times when girls get really bad stomach cramps they get put on it to ease the strength of them."

"So Ella can't be pregnant?" Iggy seemed perkier now that he won't have a baby on his hands.

"Just so we're clear, just because can't get pregnant, doesn't mean you should do anything bad, Iggy. It only takes for her to miss one day and you'll be a daddy for real."

Iggy swallowed and nodded solemnly before bubbling up again. "But this is great news! I better call Ella to tell her to forget the tests." Iggy grabbed his phone but before it rang, I stopped him.

"Nah, let her go. She and Nudge obviously planned this-"

"How do you know it was both of them?" Iggy asked.

"Hun, this is Nudge we're talking about here, of course she pressured Ella into this." I love my daughters but Nudge is a little pushy and Ella's a little clueless at times.

Iggy opened his mouth to contradict the point but then realised that it was true. "So what are you going to do?" I asked.

"We are going to play a little trick back."

Hmmm, might leave it like that to keep you guessing. And it's over the 1100 word mark so the next part will go over.

FANG: And we have an announcement.

ME: So we might not update a lot in the next few weeks because I'm moving house.

FANG: And then we're going away so we probably won't then.

ME: So I'll try my hardest to update!
