Soo...everyone keeps on telling me that I need to let everyone in the group know that Amy is pregnant. Since that would be kind of boring to let everyone know all at once, I'm going to let the most unlikely person know =). But don't worry, everyone will know soon enough.
Amy's POV
These people were getting on my nerves, especially Chloe. Luckily Paul was too busy with recovering to actually notice that anything was wrong with me. But Jasmine and Chloe sure could tell. And they never let it go either. They even had Jasmine's 'friend' James come and interrogate me. Everyone except Alek had been on my case. But now my morning sickness occurred right in front of Alek.
"Whoa! Don't throw up on my brand new shoes." Alek accused. Only Alek would say something like that if a girl threw up right in front of him. That's what made him Alek.
"Sorry, I think I had something bad to eat for breakfast," I lied. On account of being a horrible liar, I knew that Mai could tell when someone was lying. So why did I do it? Because I'm stupid.
"No snappy comeback? Wow, you must be really sick then," He observed. "Oh, and you know that I can tell you're lying."
"I know," I stated. "What do you want?"
He scratched his head like he didn't know what to say, which would be a first for him. "Uh...well. Chloe and Jasmine keep talking non-stop about how much they're worried about you. And it's kind of irratating because-
"-it takes the attention away from you?" I finished for him.
"Exactly," he agreed, even though he knew that I was being sarcastic. "But...mood swings, morning sickness and you're eating like crazy. It's almost like you're pregnant or something."
I froze solid. My eyes widened and looked up at him. "uh..."
Now it was his turn to freeze and gape. "You...you're not, right?"
I shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other. "You don't really want me to answer that, do you?" I asked cautiously.
"I-you and Paul- oh jeeze." He stuttered.
"You swear not to tell anyone?" I pleaded.
"So...you're uh, confirming that it's true?" He asked.
"Yes," I clarified for him.
He leaned up against the house like he needed help standing. "You're asking me to keep this big of a secret for you?" He sighed and shook his head.
"At school, you're totally human. You keep being Mai a secret. You should be able to keep me and my baby a secret," I pointed out.
"Oh, oh you're good," he admitted. "How about I keep it a secret as long as no one asks me if you're pregnant."
"I don't think anyone will ask you if I'm pregnant, we're not exactly best friends."
"On one condition, you name the baby after me," he bargained.
"No, not going to happen," I argued.
"Middle name?" He compromised.
"I will think about it," I agreed.
"We have a deal then."
He stood all the way back up and took a deep breath.
"Are you going to be okay?" I asked. He didn't look so stable right now.
He gave a dry laugh. "Yeah, this news doesn't effect me or my sanity at all..."
If that made his sanity go away, I was sure glad he didn't know that it was a rape baby.
Chloe's POV
The red alert for the Mai in Texas was finally gone. Which meant that the house cleared up and everyone got their own room. But to be honest, I might miss sharing a room with Amy and Jasmine a little bit. But on the up side, I didn't fall off of my bed any more.
"So, which side of the bed do I sleep on?" Alek teased, barging in without knocking.
"The under part, you sleep underneathe the bed," I teased back.
When Paul recovered fully, probably another week from now, he and Alek would share the bedroom that I had been sharing with Jasmine and Amy. My bedroom was the biggest out of all of the girls. I had wanted to keep it a secret that I was the Uniter, but Valentina had made it very clear that I was the Uniter and I was to be treated like royalty. Despite my protests of that statement, they still treated me specially. Even though they said they weren't, it was obvious that they were.
"What do you want to do tonight?" He asked me.
"Something that gets my mind off of stupid Mai stuff," I said. "You have any ideas?"
"Movie!" He exclaimed, looking at me weird. "Let's watch a movie."
I gave him a questioning look. He had been acting weird lately...like he was keeping his distance from me. It was like he was afraid of doing something to me.
"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we took a peek at the movies on Demand." I agreed.
"How about Jack-ass?" He asked, looking at me hopefully.
"Oh, they made a movie about you?" I teased.
"Uh, yeah they did. That's why I want to watch it," he teased back, but sounding serious a little bit.
"Yeah, sure, go ahead." I agreed.
I had a feeling that I would be in for a very interesting night.
