A/N: Thanks for all the reviews guys ^^ I have a couple ideas going aroundi n my head that I need to sort out, but I now know the real reason why Arnold and Phoebe got married, so you will see that in this chapter =). I know this isn't terribly long but I wanted to get it up for you guys. School's started up, two more weeks until Winter Break. Then I'll start uploading more often =)

It had taken everything Helga had to finally go to Phoebe's hotel room when she knew that Arnold wasn't around. How was she going to explain this? Her ex-best friend's husband had kissed her while her ex-best friend was pregnant. Helga knocked and Phoebe answered after a moment, seeming surprised, but smiled.

"Helga! Do come in." She said, moving aside.

Helga managed a smile as she walked in. "Hey Pheebs...how much longer to go?"

"Oh about three months. It's very uncomfortable, but when I feel the baby kicking I don't mind so much. So what brings you here? Not that I don't like this surprise visit." She said, leading them to the couch in the hotel room and sat down carefully.

"Well. There's...something we need to talk about." Helga sighed, sitting beside her and turning to face her.

"Is it about Arnold?"

"How...how did you know?"

"I'm not stupid Helga." Phoebe smiled faintly. "It's not like he really loves me anyways."

"Of course you're not stupid." Helga frowned. This was becoming confusing very quickly. "What do you mean? Why are you married? That note said..."

"I know what the note said!" Phoebe snapped. "Oh! I'm sorry Helga! I didn't mean to snap at you." She took a breath. "The note...was a lie." Helga stayed silent so Phoebe could continue. "You see...Arnold and I went to this frat party. I wouldn't have gone if he hadn't been there...you know how I am at parties. Well we got drunk and...you know...and I got pregnant." Phoebe bit her lip lightly. "We found out in Las Vegas, and my parents would die if they knew I was pregnant out of wedlock. And you know Arnold...he always has to help everyone..."

Helga spoke up now. "So...he married you...so your parents wouldn't get mad?"

"Yes...and because it was his child. He felt some sort of responsibility."

"What happened?" Helga asked. Obviously there was no other child. Unless it was back home with her parents?

"I had a miscarriage...three months in. I told Arnold that we should get a divorce, because I knew he didn't really want to be married to me. Nor I him. We do love each other but not enough to be married." Phoebe managed a smile. "But he said no. We were married and we would stick this out...and then I got pregnant again." She motioned to her stomach.

"Oh...Phoebe." Helga frowned. "Why didn't you tell me the truth? If I had known...I mean. I was hating you and I didn't even have a reason to!"

"I just didn't want to admit my mistake. Then when the miscarriage happened I was so depressed Helga. I was glad Arnold was there to help me through. I see it though, his restlessness, and I could see his thoughts and atitude change a bit after I finally told him how you felt about him and everything."

"He kissed me Phoebe."

"He did?" Phoebe asked, though she didn't look too surprised.

"He did...but why? I...I'm happy with Gerald and he comes and confuses everything."

"Would you like me to talk to him?"

"No!" Helga said quickly. "No..no. Gerald...had a nice talk with him."

"Oh yes, I remember that." Phoebe smiled slightly. Gerald always was one to protect the ones he loved. "Well...I will keep an eye on him for you?"

"I...um...guess. I had the intention of warning you that Arnold wasn't being faithful...but I suppose you knew that already..."

"Yes...he hasn't been faithful for a little over a year. I know he has a woman or two back at school, but I think after the baby is born...I'm going to divorce him Helga."

Helga was walking outside now, taking in a few sights while she tried to sort her mind. Brainy wasn't too far behind, she knew this, but he was giving her space and for that she was thankful. If Phoebe divorced Arnold...then what would happen? But she truly cared for Gerald...she loved him...but she hadn't said that out loud yet. Even after these years. Oh what to do? Why did love have to be so confusing? She sighed softly and finally turned around, looking to Brainy, who came over to her.

"What's on your mind?"

"Everything." Helga sighed. "I don't know what to do anymore Brainy."

Brainy sighed and hugged her. "Follow your heart."

Helga normally loved Brainy's advice, but he couldn't have picked a worse time to say those three little words.
