I haven't updated this in FOREVER and I am so sorry…okay, okay, let's get to the chapter, because I left you guys with a horrible cliffhanger.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lemonade Mouth
"So?" Jaxson asked, as one of his eyebrow rose, as Avery walked into their room. Avery shrugged, looking a bit shaken as she sat down next to Jaxson on his bed. "Avery!" Jaxson exclaimed; staring his sister down, his arms folded. "What happened?" Avery sighed, but still didn't open her mouth to speak. Jaxson rolled his eyes and threw himself backwards onto his bed. "Argh! Sometimes girls are so…annoying!" Jaxson growled.
Avery shook her head and chuckled softly. "He said that he'll 'take care of it'." She said softly. Jaxson quickly sat himself back up. "What do you mean 'take care of it'?" He asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. Avery shrugged. "He said that the only thing keeping him from kicking Luke's ass was me standing in the way to his room." She restated, smiling a small smile. Jaxson chuckled.
"But seriously…is he gonna do something?" He asked, wanting to be sure. Avery nodded. "Wen said he wants to be subtle about it…he's afraid that if he confronts Luke right up front about it, then he will totally deny it, plus he'll know that I told, and there'll be no way to stop him. He wants to set up hidden cameras so that he can turn them into the cops, if he tries to hurt me again." She explained, looking up at Jaxson's TV. "Seriously, bro? Power Rangers Jungle Fury? You know the series was taken off the air years ago for a reason." She said with a smirk.
Jaxson ignored her. "So he's willing to risk you getting hurt again so that he can get it on tape?" He asked, clearly not fond of the idea. Avery shook her head. "He said he's gonna talk to Mo and Stella and Charlie about always being close to me and Luke, in case something happens. Plus, I can scream, or call someone with my phone, and Wen will be watching the cameras whenever I am alone…" Avery's voice trailed off, and Jaxson knew that even she wasn't sure about the idea.
"It's a start. Better than him hurting you without anyone know about it." Jaxson pointed out. Avery nodded, picking at a loose thread on Jackson's comforter. Jaxson nudged her, a small smile on his face. "Mo is gonna tell Charlie that she's pregnant. You wanna be there?" He asked, a hint of amusement in his eyes, knowing that his sister couldn't say no.
Mo walked back and forth in the living room, pondering how she would tell Charlie her news. Stella rolled her eyes at her worrying friends while continuously moving her head side to the side so that she could continue to watch Kourtney and Kim Take New York on the flat screen. She found it amusing to watch what it was like during the 72 day marriage, but she had to admit, she didn't like the way that Humphries guy treated Kim.
"Would you just chill, Mohini? Why would lover boy be upset that you're pregnant?" She asked, fed up about not being about to see the TV, and shutting it off. She and Wen had teamed up to try and stop Luke (Well, actually, so did Mo and Charlie, but the two both seemed to be a little…distracted.), and at the moment, Wen was out trying to buy small video cameras that they could hide around the apartment. Luke was out with some friend, and Olivia was shopping.
"I don't know...maybe it's just the fact that we aren't even married!" She shrieked, running her fingers through her hair. Stella rolled her eyes, and then looked at Mo's stomach. "What are you staring at?" She snapped. Stella slid over on the couch a bit. "Sorry that I'm just trying to help." She snapped right back, turning back to the TV. "Maybe I should just shut up."
Mo shook her head and sighed. "I'm sorry, Stell, I'm just…scared…" Mo's voice trailed off. Stella shook her head. "You shouldn't be. I mean, you aren't showing that bad." She joked with a smile. "But you guys could still get married…I mean; it takes nine months to give birth to a baby, right? You have time. And I doubt that Charlie would leave you. He loves you, Mo."
Mo turned to face Stella with an incredulous look as she sat down next to her on the couch. "Okay, who are you and what did you do with Stella?" She joked. Stella shook her head and shut off the TV. "It's probably coming from all of those hours you've forced me to watch those Lifetime Movies…oh, the horror and pain…all of it is coming back to me..." She moaned, falling onto Mo's lap. Mo shook her head, and Stella laughed wholeheartedly.
Mo bit her lip. "But…Stella, getting pregnant before marriage is wrong…" She whined, just as Avery and Jaxson walked into the room. Stella got up from Mo's lap and gestured towards the twins. "Exhibit A…" Mo slapped her shoulder. "No, their situation was different." She said, rolling her eyes. Stella nodded. "Sure, sure."
Avery looked in between Mo and Stella. "I can't understand what you guys are talking about, and don't really think I want to." She declared, sitting down on the couch next to Stella. "Yup, so, your Dad went out to some store to buy hidden cameras, and tonight, Operation Get Luke's Sleazy Ass Arrested is a go." She rubbed her hands together evilly. Mo shook her head, pushing Stella once more. "You have to remember that this isn't a game, Stella. It's real."
Stella rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know. This guy just needs to know that no one hurts our Avery and gets away with it." She said with a smile towards Avery.
"Okay, so this bonding time has been great and all, but I really, really want to see Mo when she tells Charlie that she's pregnant." Jaxson spoke up. Mo moaned, and this time she threw herself onto Stella's lap. "It's not just some reality show! It's my life and it's real and…" Mo bawled into Stella's lap. Stella rolled her eyes. "Women and their hormones! I can't take it!" Jaxson groaned as he turned away.
Charlie walked back and forth in the dining room, wondering if he should tell what he had seen, who he would tell, how he would even tell. He wasn't even sure if what he heard was true, but he wasn't about to take any chances. Luke could really be Scott…that was too surreal, like one of those creepy identity crazy people in the horror movies. And if it was true...what did Scott really have against Lemonade Mouth? Except for, you know the whole fact that they kicked him out of the band, and Mo broke up with him and started to date Charlie, but still… what would cause him to do all of this…
Charlie ran a hand through his hair and let out a shaky breath, just as Mo was pushed in the room by the twins and Stella. Mo, too, was nervous about telling Charlie about the baby, but she had to. She just had to! It would be even worse if she gave birth to the baby and the father didn't even know about it…no, no, that would be such a huge mess.
"Hey, Mo," Charlie said with a smile. No matter what the situation, whenever Mo walked into a room, Charlie couldn't help but smile. "Hi, Charlie," Mo said, her breathing a little shaky. "I have something to tell you," they both spoke at the same time. Mo blushed and took a small step back. "Wait, you go first." Charlie said softly. Mo took a breath and closed her eyes.
"I think that I might be pregnant. I took like five different tests…and they all came out positive." She said quickly, her eyes still shut. When she didn't hear any kind of response, she opened her eyes. Charlie was still there, staring at her stomach with his mouth open. "Seriously?" He finally choked out, still staring at his girlfriend's stomach. Mo nodded. "Are you angry?" She asked.
Charlie looked up at her face incredulously. "What are you talking about? How could I ever be mad at you, Mo? Even if it were your fault…which it isn't!" He quickly assured her when he saw her face fall for a quick second. "I mean, it takes two to...tango, right?" He said with a laugh as he wrapped his arms around her. Mo let out a large a breath that she felt like she had been holding since that morning.
"Oh, thank God. I guess I thought that you would've been angry at me or something…" Mo's voice trailed off as Charlie planted a kiss on top of her head.
"Aw, what a beautiful moment!" Stella walked into the room, clapping her hands. "Now I don't have to endure Mohini here going on and on…and oh, the hormones! You're sure to love that, Delgado." She said with a grin. Charlie rolled his eyes. "Thanks, Stella…wait, you told Stella before me?" He asked, turning to Mo.
"Was that wrong?" Mo asked, looking over to Stella. Charlie shook his head quickly. "No way…I just think it's so weird that you were nervous to tell me. You know that you can tell me anything, right, Mo?" He asked. Mo nodded into his chest. "It was probably the hormones…" Stella mumbled as Avery and Jaxson walked into the room, Jaxson holding his phone in his hand, videotaping the moment, while Avery wiped imaginary tears from her eyes.
"Aw, that was so beautiful." Avery said while pretending to sob. Charlie rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Mo looked back up at Charlie. "By the way, what did you want to tell me, Charlie?" She asked. Charlie immediately tensed up. "Oh, about that…well, I'm not sure how to say this, but…well, I head 'Luke' talking to someone on the phone, and…I don't think he is who he says he is. I think that he is Scott Pickett.
So, I hope that chapter wasn't horrible…I spent two hours on it, which isn't necessarily a lot, but I have a computer at the moment and I am trying to get as much writing as I can done. I have tried to write stories in notebooks, but I am just one of those people who write way better and faster when using a computer, you know? Are any of you like that?
Oh, and I got an iPhone for Christmas, so I can sometimes write chapters on my phone...at least, I have heard of people-authors whose writing that I really enjoy, too- writing chapters on their iPhones or iPods. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks if you do.
Thanks to:
Glemonademouth Maddy and Reynolds: He really is mean, but I needed a villain in this story…don't worry, I have the story planned out, and something bad will happen to him…
Daughter-of-Poseidon627: Hehe, it isn't specified whether "Luke" is Ray or Scott, which I think makes the story a bit more mysterious…
Chocolatelemonade: Aw, thank you so much! And Lemonade Mouth rocked on So Random. I loved that performance.
lemonademouth4ever: Aw, that is the mystery…lol.
Readingcutie428: It may seem like it…but you never know…and you are right, a lot of trouble is coming up.
Movie-musicaddict24: I know, right? I mean, I feel like a lot of people leave Charlie out when it comes to their stories, so I am trying to include him a bit more.
Ayriniszm: Aw, well, I love you for reviewing :)
Superbatnerdxx: Well, I hate Luke too, lol. Hmm….I'm not sure I would downright call Olivia stupid at the moment, even though it really, really, seems like that is how she is acting. And I am happy about Mo being pregnant too :) Thanks for your long review! The only thing I didn't understand was what you said about Wen and Jaxson parallels being 3…
SavannahCaileyAndZayaRules: I am sorry that you feel that way, but you never know what is going to happen. For all you know, Scott could become the hero, or Luke could even be Ray.
Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice: Well, I try, but you can't always please everyone :)
And sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I think that you really should make an account, cause you could have favorites and write and PM and whatnot.
GinnyBloomPotter: I'll try and make sure that Olivia gets hurt for you…lol. But I'll try to incorporate that somewhere…thank you for reviewing :)
Nico Di Angelo and I eloped: Hehe, I kinda love him in this chapter too…and you and Nico got married? You should have invited me! LOL.
