I'm here with a new chapter! Thank you so, so much for all the reviews for the last chapter. I'm simply blown away at how many of you reviewed to provide your own input towards Alvin and Brittany's baby. Please keep it up, and please keep on reviewing/telling me your thoughts on what you want the baby to be! It really helps me in shaping the future storyline. (If you need a reminder, all the info you need is at the end of chapter 10)

Another week has passed. Brittany had done a lot of thinking since the night she and Alvin went out to dinner, and decided that it was probably a good time to tell her friends. She hasn't seen any of her friends in over a month, and she knew they were getting a little suspicious as to why Brittany has been refusing to hang out with them lately. Brittany didn't want to say anything at first, because she was still unsure about a lot of things. However, she knew she couldn't keep a secret forever.

So Brittany decided to call up her two best friends, Erin and Amanda, the two girls who were with her the night of the party. It was a three-way call, and Erin and Amanda were shocked to hear from Brittany, who right away, apologized for being so distant with them but said that she had a reasonable explanation. The two girls were silent as Brittany explained absolutely everything, from the night she got drunk, to the morning of, to the moment she took the pregnancy test, to now.

The two girls absolutely freaked out in the most excited way, and Brittany had to hold her phone away from her ear to prevent their screams from damaging her hearing. Of course, they were downright shocked and confused and appalled when they found out that Brittany is pregnant with Alvin Seville's child, but the excitement of the baby overshadowed that.

"Can we be your baby's godmothers?" Erin gasped.

"Oh my gosh, can we? I mean, we could've stopped you from hooking up with Alvin, but we didn't, so we totally deserve to be the godmothers!" Amanda squealed.

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Okay, first of all, you guys couldn't have stopped anything because you didn't even know where I was! You guys didn't even know I was upstairs in the room with Alvin! And second, well, I'm still not sure if I wanna keep the baby, remember?"

Erin sighed. "Yeah, we know, but still. Are you and Alvin like, talking again?"

"Sort of..." Brittany sighed. "We're not exactly friends, but we don't exactly hate each other that much anymore. We're kinda...mutual with each other now."

"Aww, well, I'm happy for you, Britt! We both are. This is so exciting, and I can't even imagine how you must be feeling about everything. But you should've told us that you weren't hanging out with us because you're pregnant! We would've understood!" said Erin.

"Yeah, we thought you were avoiding us on purpose or something," said Amanda.

"No, it was nothing like that, I swear. I was just-" Brittany got cut off when her phone started to buzz. She looked at her screen and saw that she received a text from Alvin.

Message from: Alvin Seville

9:34am

Wanna come over for breakfast before Dave kills us both?

Brittany rolled her eyes but couldn't help laugh a little, and replied with a quick I'll be there. "Um, I gotta go now. Alvin just texted me to come over. We're planning on telling his dad today."

"Oh, shit. Isn't that gonna be awkward, since you've known his dad since you were young?" asked Erin.

"Probably. I'm dreading it," Brittany sighed.

"Is he gonna be mad?" Amanda asked.

"Well, knowing Dave, he's gonna be furious at Alvin. I'm a little anxious to see it, to be honest," Brittany laughed. "Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later, bye."

After hanging up her phone, Brittany got out of her PJ's, and changed into a fresh pair of clothes before heading out the door to walk across the street towards the boys' house. They haven't seen each other since they had dinner last week, and although Brittany wasn't looking forward to seeing Dave's reaction when they tell him, she was sort of looking forward to seeing Alvin again. She knocked on the door and waited, and after a few seconds, the door opened, revealing Alvin on the other side. He had on a black hoodie, grey sweatpants and his bronze hair was tousled in every direction, as if he had just rolled out of bed. Brittany hated to admit, but he looked so fucking attractive right now.

Wait, wait, wait. Stop. Right. There. Did she really just think of Alvin as attractive? Sure, it's no secret that Alvin is an extremely good looking person with charm. There's a reason why girls fall in love with him with just one glance. But where did these thoughts suddenly come from? What the hell was wrong with her? Gosh, it was probably just her pregnancy hormones acting up.

"Hey," he smiled. He opened up the door and let her in.

"You definitely don't look like a morning person," said Brittany. "Are you ready for today?"

"Nope," he sighed. "Anyway, you hungry?"

"A little," she said. She followed Alvin into the kitchen, where she saw Simon and Theodore at the table eating breakfast. She smiled; she has always been such good friends with Alvin's brothers, and since she became pregnant, she feels like she hasn't seen them in forever. But at the same time, she knows that Simon and Theodore know about her pregnancy, and this was the first time seeing them since they found out, and it did make her a little nervous.

Simon looked up and his eyes widened when he saw who had walked in. "Whoa, Brittany, what are you doing here?"

Brittany shrugged before taking a seat across from them. "I guess your brother couldn't go another day without seeing me, so he invited me over for breakfast," she said jokingly.

Alvin rolled his eyes before handing her a plate of fresh waffles, caramelized banana slices and whip cream - a breakfast thought up by Theodore, of course. "Hilarious, but wrong. We're um, actually planning on telling Dave about the baby today."

Simon and Theodore fell silent, before Simon turned to Brittany. "Get ready to raise that baby by yourself, because Dave is gonna murder Alvin when he finds out."

Brittany laughed. "Is it really gonna be that bad?" she turned to Alvin.

"Have you met Dave before? I mean, the guy loves us all to death, but he always seems to lose his shit when he's around me. So yeah, it's gonna be bad," Alvin sighed as he took a seat beside Brittany.

"You don't even look pregnant, Brittany. How far along are you?" asked Theodore.

"About 10 weeks, so almost 3 months," said Brittany. She didn't realize how far along she actually was until she said it out loud. It freaked her out a bit, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Alvin glance at her, and knew that it had freaked him out as well.

"Wow, already?" said Theodore. "Well, congratulations, Brittany. You're gonna be an awesome mom no matter what."

Brittany almost choked on a piece of banana when she heard that. "Um, hate to break it to you, Theo, but I'm still unsure whether I wanna keep the baby. I-I might not even keep it at all."

"We know, Alvin told us," said Theodore. "But if you do, you're gonna be a great parent."

"Alvin, on the other hand..." Simon muttered.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Alright, shut up. When is Dave coming?"

Simon looked at the clock on the wall. "In about 15 minutes. He said he'll try and make it by 10am."

The boys have been living by themselves for about 2 years now. Since Dave was always working and travelling for his work, it was easier for him to buy an apartment close to the airport. However, he always tries to stops by and see his sons as much as he can. It gave the boys a little more freedom to be adults, however, especially in Alvin's case, more freedom also means more trouble. 20 minutes later, they heard the front doors unlock followed by footsteps.

"Fellas, I'm here," they heard Dave's voice call from the front.

"Fuck..." Alvin whispered to himself.

Simon snickered and said, "A part of me doesn't want to see this mess go down, but another part of me does."

Alvin stuck his middle finger up at his brother, before turning to Brittany. For the first time, Brittany actually saw vulnerability in his eyes. Alvin was always the type of person who came off very bold, macho, and overly confident, so it was a bit of a shocker to see him look kinda nervous. Brittany gave him a gentle smile before placing her hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be okay," she said.

Dave walked into the kitchen and placed his keys on the counter. "Hey guys, what are...Brittany, what a pleasure seeing you here! How are you doing?"

Brittany smiled. Dave has always been so kind and gracious towards her and her sisters, and he basically watched them grow up along with his sons. "Hi, Dave. I'm fine, how about yourself?"

"I'm great, thank you. Anyway, what are you doing here? I feel like I always see Jeanette and Eleanor, but it's been a while since I've seen you around here," said Dave.

"Um, well, Alvin decided to invite me over to have breakfast," said Brittany.

Dave smiled. "Well, I'm glad to see you two are getting along again. You two used to be the best of friends when you were younger. I'm glad that Alvin reached out to you. Good for you, son, that's very mature of you."

Alvin tried his best not to roll his eyes. Simon and Theodore tried to bite back a few laughs. Dave joined them for breakfast, and things instantly became silent and awkward. Whenever Dave wasn't looking, Brittany would nudge Alvin and urge him to speak up, but Alvin would just give her a look that said wait. Brittany sighed. She couldn't blame him; it was clear Alvin was nervous, and she truly felt bad for him. After about 20 minutes, when they were all finished eating, Alvin turned to Brittany. She read the look in his eyes, and nodded her head.

Alvin scratched the back of his neck and cleared his throat. "Um, hey, Dave? D-Do you have a minute to talk?"

Dave nodded his head. "Of course, what is it about?"

"Aaand I think that's our cue to leave," said Simon as he stood up from his seat. "C'mon, Theo. I'll help you get started on that essay you were talking about."

Theodore raised an eyebrow. "I don't have an...oh, right. Yeah, my essay."

Alvin, Brittany and Dave all watched as Simon and Theodore left the kitchen, leaving the three of them sitting at the table. Alvin gulped as he watched Dave raise an eyebrow before slowly turning to look at him.

"What did you do this time, Alvin?" sighed Dave.

"Wait, what? Why is it always me?" Alvin exclaimed.

"Because every time I have a bad feeling about something, it always has something to do with you," answered Dave.

Alvin bit back his tongue in fear as he looked at his father, before turning to Brittany for just a second, who was sitting silently beside him. Alvin turned back to Dave and said, "Well, um, it actually has something to do with me and Brittany."

Dave raised an eyebrow. He had to admit, it was a little weird seeing Alvin and Brittany sitting side by side, because he knows the rivalry between them all too well. In fact, now that the two are in their 20's, Dave was almost certain that Alvin and Brittany would never see or talk to each other again. They just grew apart, and no longer seemed like they were friends. When Brittany was younger, she would come over to hang out with the boys all the time. In fact, the last time Dave saw Alvin and Brittany in the same room was probably a few years ago. So it did make he feel a little suspicious to see Brittany in their house all of a sudden for the first time in years.

"Okay...what's going on?" asked Dave.

Brittany looked at Alvin, and saw that he was having a hard time finding the right words to say, so she decided to speak up. "Um, before we say anything, Dave, I just want you to know that we don't mean any disrespect or anything, and I know Alvin doesn't want to disappoint you in any way, but you've just got to understand that what we're about to tell you wasn't something done on purpose."

Dave was now worried. "What are you talking about? What's going on, you guys?"

Brittany bit her bottom lip. "Well, um, a few months ago, I was at a party with my friends, and Alvin was also at the same party. Mind you, we were in two completely separate worlds and had nothing to do with each other. Before that day, Alvin and I haven't spoken to each other in about a year. But anyway, I was with my friends, and he was off doing his own thing, and, well...I had a lot to drink that night, more than I can admit, and I know that Alvin had a few too many drinks as well."

Dave stared at her as she spoke. There was a dark, sickening pit in the bottom of his stomach, because a teeny, tiny part of him could sense where this story was heading.

"I got extremely drunk, and Alvin did too. We didn't know what we were doing, or who we were around at that point, because we were both so plastered, but, um...we ended up hooking up with each other. W-We woke up the next morning in bed together," Brittany's voice became quiet at the end.

Dave could only stare. He cleared his throat after a while. "Oh, uh, okay. So you're telling me that you two got drunk, and ended up...sleeping with each other?"

Alvin wanted to vomit as Dave spoke. "Well, yeah..."

Dave was silent for the longest time, as if he was trying to find the words to say. "Well. I...I don't know what to say to that. I mean, you two are both in your 20's, and you're both adults, so I can't really control you guys when it comes to things like that. So, are you telling me that you two are now together?"

Alvin's eyes widened and Brittany gasped. "What, no, god no, it has nothing to do with that," said Brittany. "Alvin and I are not together. But, um, what Alvin and I want to tell you is that...because of that night, I'm..."

Brittany mumbled the word, and Dave couldn't understand. His eyebrows furrowed. "What was that last word?"

"...Pregnant."

The second after Brittany spoke, there was nothing but pure, frightening silence. Alvin expected the worst. He was ready to fall in a hole and die right now. In fact, he would rather do that than have to deal with whatever was coming next. He looked up to look at his dad. Not a single word came out from his mouth, and honestly, it scared the shit out of them both.

Dave closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and let out a deep sigh. "Okay. I'm going to give you two 5 seconds to tell me that you're lying." When Alvin nor Brittany didn't speak up, Dave opened his eyes to glare right at his son. "Alvin Seville, this is NOT a joke!"

"Dave, please," Brittany tried to calm him down. "If you would just listen to what we have to say, then-"

"Listen? No, you two listen to me! What on earth were you two thinking?" Dave was now standing. "Alvin, how could you be so irresponsible?"

"It wasn't just him, Dave!" Brittany jumped in. Alvin was a little surprised that she was defending him. "I was there too. I was drunk too. This is my fault, as much as it is Alvin's."

But Dave shook his head. "I knew something like this would happen, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! Alvin, do you now understand why I have such a hard time coping with the fact that my own son has the personality of every typical frat boy in America? This is why I always get so angry every time you go to parties, why I'm always so hard on you every time you come home drunk, why it hurts me to know that you're at these places, doing such reckless and inappropriate things! And now you've gotten someone pregnant? Jesus Christ, Alvin!"

"Dave, I-I'm sorry, I just-" Alvin stuttered.

"You see these kinds of things on the news, and you can't help but feel bad sometimes. But when it's your own child, it's a whole different story," Dave shook his head. "I...I don't understand, how did both of you let this happen?"

"It was a complete accident, we swear. I mean, Alvin and I weren't even friends. We were even fighting at the party. But we just got so drunk, and that's how it happened," said Brittany. "Please, I know you're mad, Dave. I totally get it. You're reacting the same way any parent would, but you've got to understand that this wasn't intentional, and that this isn't Alvin's fault."

Dave just stood there, silent, looking at them for a good minute. "I can't wrap my mind around this at all."

"And you don't have to. I understand, it's a hard thing to take in at first," said Brittany.

"Are you two even responsible enough to raise a baby? I mean, first of all, you two aren't together. That's going to make raising the baby so much harder. What are you planning to do? Go back and forth from each other's houses all the time? Second, you both are still so young! Do you understand how much of a toll this will be? And third, you two are both the type of people who always go out. How do you expect to take care of a newborn baby when you're always out with friends, drinking alcohol and getting into trouble?" asked Dave.

Brittany sighed and turned to Alvin for a quick moment. Alvin kept his gaze on the table. "That's another thing we wanted to tell you. Um, I might not even keep the baby."

Dave raised an eyebrow. As furious as he was, this did shock him a little. "How come?"

"Well, the same reasons you just said. Alvin and I aren't ready to have a child of our own. We're still in our 20's, we still like to go out and party and hang out with our friends, and...well, Alvin and I aren't together. It's just going to make things so much harder, for ourselves, and especially for the baby," said Brittany.

Dave looked at Alvin, who stayed unresponsive. "So, what are you planning to do with the baby?"

This always broke her heart, no matter how many times she has thought about it. "I don't know yet. Abortion or giving it up for adoption are the only choices I have."

Once again, a wave of silence overcame them for the longest time. "I can't believe you guys..." Dave sighed deeply and shook his head.

Brittany felt bad. She knew that Dave felt angry towards them, only because he loves and cares about Alvin so much, and cares about her as well. What parent wants to find out that his son got a girl pregnant at some alcohol-driven party a few months ago? It's a parent's worse nightmare, that's for sure. She turned to Alvin, and again, he didn't look back. She just wanted to reach over, just to make sure he was okay because she has never, ever seen him like this.

"You have every night to be angry at us, Dave. Alvin and I are trying to work this out together ourselves, and we were just as shocked as you are. But you've got to realize that it happened, and that there isn't anything we can do to take back what happened," said Brittany.

Dave's gaze kept going back between Alvin and Brittany, before settling on his son. "Well, Alvin? You've finally done it. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Alvin flinched when he heard his name, but didn't respond.

Dave shook his head to himself. "I always hoped that you would be careful when it came to these things, Alvin. As your father, it hurts to know how often you sleep around with girls. No parent ever wants that for their child. However, I was hoping, that since you do it so often, that you would be aware of the consequences if you aren't being careful. And now look at you, Alvin. You've gotten, not only someone pregnant, but someone you've known your entire life, pregnant. I am extremely disappointed in you, Alvin. Very disappointed."

Brittany looked at Alvin when he didn't respond. She could tell that Alvin was hurt, and it made her feel sorry for him. She turned back to Dave and said, "Alvin has been very supportive so far, Dave. We've been getting along lately, mainly because Alvin has changed a bit, for the better."

Dave sighed. "Alvin has only been supportive because he knows the mother of his child. If it were someone else, someone he randomly met at a party, do you think he would be as supportive?"

Brittany knew that Dave didn't really mean any negative intent, and that his anger was fueling his words, but it did shock her to hear that. "I feel like Alvin would've been supportive either way. He's taking this seriously, Dave. He really is."

Again, Dave said nothing as he kept his gaze on Alvin. "That still won't help how upset I am. I really thought you would be smarter than this, son. You've disappointed me many times in my life, Alvin, but this one tops it all."

Brittany frowned. "Dave, it really isn't Alvin's-"

"Now if you'll excuse me, I...I need to step outside for a bit," Dave shook his head again. He took one last look at Alvin and Brittany before walking out of the kitchen and into the backyard, leaving the two just sitting there. It was silent for the longest time.

Alvin finally let out a sigh, as if he was holding his breath the whole time. "He fucking hates me, I just know it."

Brittany looked over at him, and couldn't help the ache in her chest when she saw his face. "Alvin, he doesn't hate you. He's your dad, and he loves you, but he's just having a hard time comprehending all this right now. I'm pretty sure this was the last thing Dave was expecting to hear when he woke up this morning. But just let him cool down and walk if off."

"I guess you're right," Alvin sighed. "God, dinner is gonna be so damn awkward tonight."

Brittany let out a small smile. "Hey, at least we got this over with."

But Alvin still looked a little upset, and he shrugged. "It could've gone better. I just...I just hate when he's upset at me, y'know? When he blames everything on me? Because Dave's right, and it makes me feel like shit, like I'm the world's worst son or something."

"Hey, don't say that. I don't think you're that bad, so you shouldn't either," Brittany gave a small smile. "And even if Dave can't see it, other people can, and that should be good enough, right?"

"But it's different, Britt. He's my dad," Alvin sighed.

Brittany truly felt bad for him. She has known Alvin and Dave for a long time, and knows that they do have a great father-son relationship. However, Alvin was the type of kid who always got into trouble, always created a mess wherever he went. Dave, as frustrated as he would be, would always understand and forgive Alvin at the end of the day. However, she has never seen Dave this upset before, where he would just walk out without even giving Alvin a second look.

"Hey, if my sisters, and your brothers can come to terms with it, then so can Dave. You just need to give him a little time," she said.

Alvin shrugged and nodded a little. "Can I walk you back to your place? I need to get out to the house for a while."

Brittany nodded. There was a sad tone in his voice, and it made Brittany feel horrible. This was the first time she has ever seen Alvin so down, so powerless, so not himself. Alvin has always been afraid of disappointing Dave, and feels that he is always making things worse by his out of control, party behavior. But this, this definitely tops it all.

They soon arrived at Brittany's front door, before she turned around to look at him. "You okay?"

Alvin shrugged a little. "I will be."

"Don't think about it too much. Dave's only mad because he cares about you. He'll understand eventually," said Brittany.

Brittany was taken into surprise when Alvin stepped in and wrapped his arms around her. If this had happened a month ago, Brittany would've pushed him away within a second. However, she didn't push him away. Within the past few weeks of hanging out with Alvin, and getting to understand him more, there was a change in the way she used to think about him. No longer did she hate or despise him; there was none of that at all anymore. He hugged her softly, and it made her feel warm on the inside, and it just felt so damn right.

"Thanks for, y'know, doing most of the talking back there. I knew that Dave couldn't get angry at you, and that he couldn't exactly kill me if you were there."

Brittany gave a soft smile before returning the hug. "You're welcome. I can't help it if people like me too much."

She felt Alvin laugh against her body before he pulled away. "Anyway, I would love to stay and hang out here to avoid Dave as much as possible, but I gotta start getting ready for work. Can I call you later when I get home?"

Brittany wondered why Alvin needed to call her. It's not like they see each other everyday, nor do they talk to each other everyday either. Maybe he just wanted to call her. But for the first time, it didn't matter to Brittany, and for the first time, she was actually looking forward to hearing his voice over the phone once more.

"Aww, are you gonna miss me that much?" Brittany taunted.

Alvin rolled his eyes but laughed. "You wish. But it would be nice to have someone to talk to later, after the fucking mess we just went through."

She couldn't help but smile at that. Alvin probably had a billion friends he could talk to. Hell, he even had his own brothers. But it did make her heart swell to know that he wanted to talk to her, of all people. "Sure, of course you can call me."

He smiled back. "Thanks, Britt. Anyway, I'll see you later."

Brittany bid him goodbye before she watched him jog across the street back to his house. There was definitely something there that she couldn't quite understand, something that made her heart hurt every time she said goodbye to him. If anything, today's actions showed that maybe, just maybe, Alvin Seville wasn't all that bad anymore, and that maybe, in some crazy alternative universe, if she were to keep the baby and raise the baby with him, she wouldn't mind it at all.

Poor Dave, he was about to lose his mind. But it was so sweet of Brittany to defend Alvin like that. Is it just me, or is there a friendship growing between these two?
