Max smiled as he examined Michelle in her sleep. It was the first time she had spent the night since their very first meeting, and since that day, they've been on many dates, and had officially been seeing each other for a little over four weeks. Max couldn't believe his luck. Not only was Michelle beautiful and funny, but all of his friends loved her. Michelle and Lucy were especially close, since Michelle used to work for SDR, so that gave them a lot to talk about. And Michelle was interested in art, so that gave her plus points with Jude. In fact, she seemed to have at least on thing in common with each of his friends: Michelle would discuss the music scene with Sadie and Jojo, and she would share silly stories with Prudence, since she was such a good listener. And when it came to Max, the two of them would never run out of things to say. Yes, Max had felt he had finally hit the jackpot. After a few moments, Michelle stirred, opened her eyes slightly, and smiled at Max.

"Good morning." Max greeted her, stroking her cheek. "Enjoy yourself last night?"

Michelle blushed as she opened her eyes wider. She yawned, stretching out her arms, and simply said, "Of course." She sat up and said, "I'm in the mood for eggs. And bacon. And some really delicious toast."

Max smirked. "Your wish is my command."

Half an hour later, they trailed into Lucy's diner, where they could always expect free food, or at least half priced food. Lucy sat them down at a table, told them to order whatever they wanted, since it would be on the house.

"Did I ever tell you how cool your sister is?" Michelle said as she opened her menu.

"You say it often." Max replied, and then looked up to see that Jude had walked in, probably for this breakfast fix. Without a word, Jude walked over and joined the happy couple. Lately, Max and Jude seemed to actually be able to forget that they ever had a "relationship." They never spoke about it, and they didn't seem to ever even acknowledge their feelings. But of course, even though they don't say it out loud, doesn't mean that they still miss it. Jude was slightly jealous that Max seemed to find someone else so quickly, and Max was slightly jealous that Jude seemed to be trying to make the wedding happen sooner. They tried to tell themselves that they didn't mean it, and that they would soon not care. They were simply lying to themselves.

"Hey!" Michelle greeted Jude. "You're quiet this morning."

"Tired. I was up late painting." Jude responded, shrugging. "And now I have some catchy song stuck in my head, from that one band I heard on the radio."

"Hey, you shouldn't hate on them, man. They're from Liverpool, too." Max teased. When Michelle gave him a curious look, he explained, "I read those magazines that you have all over your apartment."

Michelle shook her head and laughed just as Lucy walked over. She took their orders, then turned to Jude and kissed him softly on the lips. "I wasn't expecting you to be up so early. I mean, especially after last night." She raised her eyebrows suggestively.

"So I'm guessing you weren't painting after all." Michelle joked, causing Jude to blush. Max covered his ears with the palms of his hands and said, "I don't need to know about my sister's sex life!"

Lucy smiled and ignored Max's comment. She looked at Michelle and said, "Hey, can you meet me in the bathroom? I need to talk to you about something."

"Sure, I'll be there in a sec." Michelle replied.

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Jude leaned back in his seat. "Bom chicka wah wah."

Lucy rolled her eyes. "You perv." And walked off into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Michelle joined her. When she saw Lucy, she noticed her entire emotions changed. Lucy wasn't laughing like she was at the table, her face was solemn and pale. "Michelle...I missed my period. And..." she pulled out a pregnancy test from her purse, which she had bought yesterday and kept for today. "I needed someone to be with me when I took this."

"Why didn't you ask Jude?"

"I didn't want him to freak out unless he had a reason to." Lucy sighed. "I know, Jude. He'll lock himself in his studio for days when he has a problem."

Michelle nodded. "Okay, well...are you ready to take it?"

Lucy sighed, nodded, and walked into the bathroom stall. Michelle locked the bathroom door, just to be safe. A few moments later, Lucy emerged and said, "Okay, now we wait three minutes."

They sat in silence for those three minutes, and Lucy even took an extra minute longer, just as a precaution. Then Lucy picked up the test and studied it for a few seconds. It was hard for Michelle to know what the results were, since Lucy's face showed absolutely no emotion. Finally, Lucy's eyes began to water as she stammered out, "It's positive."

Mmkay.

Sorry this is so short...

but yeah.

It had to be done.

Oh, and I'm hoping they did have pregnancy tests (or even the term "Bom chicka wah wah") back in the sixties, but if they didn't, I'm sorry for my mistake.

Anyways, I'll update soon.

Thanks to my regular reviewers!
