Ike's P.O.V.

I woke up to my phone vibrating on my nightstand and the soft sound of Chopin playing. I shut off my alarm and sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes to help wake me up I desperately needed coffee. I slid my slippers on and quietly walked down stairs, outside of Nilo's room I could the sheets moving around and him mumbling slightly "poor kid…" I whispered quietly.

Nilo had nightmares when we were kids a lot no idea what triggered them but I have a pretty good Idea about this one. I walked in his room and he was tossing and turning in his bed wrapped up like a burrito in sheets, I sat on the side of his bed and waited till he rolled my way and I caught him. He was still trying to move around but I wasn't letting him "you're alright bud it's just a dream." I kept repeating to him over and over till he calmed down.

I left his room so I get coffee and some food before I went to work, these kids are going to have to go through a lot these next few months non the less the rest of their lives. This is just the beginning they have to tell everyone and if this is how stressed Nilo is this is going to be hell on Max; I just hope there ready for the challenge.


Max's P.O.V.

It was not a good morning for me I woke up an hour early and sat on my bathroom floor thinking I was going to puke but never did, I put on a loose fitting tee shirt and some stretchy shorts. I went downstairs and my mom had made my sister and I some food but I wasn't in the mood; but that would be out of character so I grabbed it and went outside and just walked to Nilo's. I texted my mom telling her that he told me to meet him at his house, half way I got hit with light headedness and nausea.

I had to use a tree to keep myself standing and I gaged a little but I refused to throw up. I was almost at Nilo's when he pulled up next to me and I got in his car. I placed my bag at my feet and rested my head on the head rest "How are you feeling today?" I barley looked at him "not too well but what can I do?" I shrugged. I could feel Nilo giving me a once over before getting on the road, "when are we going to tell everyone? We need to start thinking of these things now." Nilo said but I wasn't ready to think just yet. I sighed I kept my eyes closed "Well I was thinking last night about telling Emily tonight or something, then we can tell our friends, and worry about our parents last."

Nilo didn't say anything back to me "are you ok?" I asked him softly I heard him exhale a little longer than usual probably thinking of what to say "yeah Im fine, do you uh have to go to the doctors or something to get the baby and your heart checked out anytime soon?" I sighed he's trying to change the subject.

I could tell we were getting close to school from the amount of turns "Nilo please?" I could feel the car going faster and I sat up and opened my eyes "slow down your speeding!" Nilo didn't listen to me, the road we were on is twisty and has dense forest so it's not the safest and this ass knows this I have no idea what's gotten into him. "Lo!" I grabbed the 'oh shit bar' as I somewhat yelled at him to slow down but he still wouldn't listen I curled my legs up to my chest and I could feel my heart racing.

We continued to speed until we got to the parking lot and he parked "Im fine" Nilo grabbed his water bottle and got out of the car and slammed the door shut.I froze I couldn't move, I was so shocked at what I had just witnessed it made me even more nauseas. I was late to my first class and I just couldn't be at school so I texted my mom and skipped, I found out my sister was sick and at home. I might as well tell her when I get there so she has time to process before mom gets home tonight.


Nilo's P.O.V.

I was so pissed off I couldn't concentrate on my classes at all, during lunch Gabe tried to get me calm down but my temper wasn't haven't it. I ended up walking out and hiding in me and max's place but I quickly left because I wasn't in the mood to see her right now. I was just so ugh! Right now I needed to blow of some steam I ditched last period and I drove to one of the many hiking trails nearby and I just ran.

I needed to feel the wind on my face and the sun on me even though it was bloody hot out. The particular trail I was on went uphill to an open field. I picked a spot of grass and just laid flat on my back and looked up at the clouds there was an occasional breeze that felt nice. I thought about what happened today and how I reacted and what I should I done instead, I was just pissed about this whole mess were in and what little I can do it. It was scary and stressful to think about everything but I knew I had to.

I dug my phone out of my pocket and texted Ike letting him know I ditched so I would get in less trouble when I saw him. I got up and started to walk back to my car and I realized how much I must have freaked out Max this morning, I checked my phone and she hasn't texted. I ruffled my hair back and texted the girls asking if they have talked to Max and they told me they haven't seen her all day.

I jogged back down the hill and got in my car and tried calling her but she didn't answer so I called again then sent a few texts nothing. Was she that scared she didn't want to talk to me? Great just great.


Max's P.O.V.

Me and Em were having a blast I've been caught up in my own shit I haven't spent as much time with her. My sister likes Nilo and she's one of those girls who thinks all babies look the same, so I don't think she'll be upset. I know she'll be excited to be an Aunt though; she has talked about being the cool Aunt and how my kids will adore her more than me and tell her everything that's going on in their lives that they don't want me to know.

I smiled just thinking about it, we were playing a card game Em's favorite thing to do. We were snuggled up in her bed looking like total bums; I figured this would be the easiest way to tell her.

"hey can I ask you something?" Em cut the smiles and jokes she sounded real serious "yeah what's up?" I put my cards on her nightstand it didn't seem like she was interested in playing anymore.

"you and Nilo are serious and all and I was wondering what's it like having a boyfriend like that?" I scooted next to her and wrapped her in a hug "aww does somebody have a crush?" I said in a really gushy voice.

Emily squirmed free from my hold on her, "ok forget I asked" I laughed "Im sorry it's a big sister thing I had to, let's see a boyfriend….." I paused in thought thinking of what to tell her "well there are some perks like going out, and being complemented a lot; also some not so great things is if it doesn't work out you feel empty and crushed depending on how long you guys were dating." "Oh" I rubbed her shoulder "it's different for everybody you just have to get out there and try" Em seemed happier with that bit of advice.

I felt like this was as good as a time I was going to get to tell her "Em can I tell you something, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone even mom" she looked up at me with concerning eyes "yeah….are you ok?" I nodded and took a deep breath "I'm uh pregnant" I gave a light side smile and played with my hands.

Em didn't change in facial emotion then all of a sudden she broke a smile and gave me hug "are you serious?" she looked from my face to my belly then back and forth several times. Well this went better than I had expected "yeah" I was shocked with how happy she was "how far along are you, who else knows?" "I'm 3 weeks along and Nilo and Ike know." "It's tiny!" she pulled the covers down and put her left hand on my belly "hey there Im your favorite aunt Emily" I laughed "the baby doesn't have ears yet it can't hear you silly" Em didn't seem to care she 'talked' to the baby and we had talked about baby stuff for almost 2 hours.


Nilo's P.O.V.

I couldn't take it anymore Max hasn't been answering my cell I figured she must be home, I already my school work and I could stand just sitting around my room so drove over to Max's. I saw that her mom wasn't home so I just used the spare key to get in it was hidden in the flowers next to the door.

I entered the house and I could her Max and Emily talking faintly "hello" I said loudly so it reach to the second floor "Nilo?" Emily called back "yeah it's me where are you guys?" I inquired "were in my room, hey can you bring me some left over pizza from the fridge pleaseeee?" she asked like a little kid "yeah you want it cold right?" as I made my way over to the kitchen "yup!" while getting Emily some I warmed myself 2 slices I was hungry and this way Max could have one if she was wanted.

I brought the plates upstairs and into Emily's room, the girls were in the bed together in their 'bum' clothes as referred to. I walked passed Max and handed Emily her plate "thanks" she said before she stuffed her face. I sat at the foot of the bed and took a bite of my pizza "Max you want one?" I didn't get the response I had hoped for, Max jumped out of bed and sprinted towards the bathroom with her hand over her mouth.

I set my plate down on the bed and hurried after her, Max was sitting on the floor gripping onto the sides of the toilet throwing up. I went in and put her hair in a ponytail and started to rub her back, when she stopped I tore off some toilet roll and cleaned off her face.

Max leaned on me and rubbed her belly "it was the smell of the pizza, it just made me feel so sick" she closed her eyes and sighed "do you want some water? Or do you think you going to be sick again?" Max groaned "both" "Em can you bring me a bottle of water please?" I called I heard her get out of bed and head downstairs.

I decided not to ask why she wasn't answering me earlier sense she puking now, crap what are we going to tell Em about this? Max got up and began throwing up again I rubbed her back, Em came in the bathroom and set the water bottle on the floor near us "thanks" "I thought you only puked in the morning when you were pregnant?" shit she figured us out. Max stopped and I cleaned her face and handed her the water "relax I told her" I sighed in relief "well smells also cause you to be sick apparently, take little sips or you might get sick again" Max just held onto the cool bottle and pressed it against her forehead.

"Are you hot?" she shook her head "just a headache" I took the water from her and un capped it "water might help, drink" I handed her back the bottle and made sure she drank "when are you guys going to tell mom?" Max and I just looked at each other "were not sure, ok slow down" I took the bottle from Max and capped it shut. "We haven't thought about to much Em were still letting the fact sink in, and we want to think about how to tell our parents gently" Emily nodded "ok it'll be funny mom will be a grandma" Em started to laugh, we joined in and began joking around in the bathroom.

When we looked at the time and noticed there mom would be home soon I put Max in bed and me and Em played a few rounds of Golf before I went home "I'll see you around, have Max text me when she wakes up ok?" I asked getting ready to head out "that might be hard sense she left her phone in your car this morning" she smiled "are you serious?" I asked dumbfounded I didn't even notice it in there "yeah she said it might have fallen out of her bag and on the floor" nice job Max no wonder she wasn't answering me.
