A month later, Sam's classes were going by smoothly. She's been okay, no bad dreams or seeing darklings or anything weird ever since her and Chase has been hanging out all the time.
And of course Pogue hates it. Kate's been noticing the way Pogue is always jealous every time Pogue sees Sam and Chase together and all Kate and Pogue do is fight about it.
When Sam and Reid's parents came back into town. She told them about the baby. They were so happy, they went shopping right away and started fixing up a nursery that connects to Sam's room. She thought they would be mad, but they weren't, they are happy they are going to be grandparents.
Sam is now sixteen weeks pregnant and showing a little more than she wants to. But she keeps herself very well hidden from Chase, Pogue, and everyone else at school that doesn't have a clue. Although, Chase kind of has a suspicion, but wasn't sure.
Brooke finally got her bed and all her stuff into Sam's room. She had to sleep in Sam's bed for a few weeks, but it was no big deal.
It was a Saturday, Chase took Sam out to lunch where he was going to ask her once and for all. He was falling for her and he needed to know.
While they were eating, Chase noticed Sam looking like there was something on her mind not only that, he was noticing what she was eating.
"That is not normal." he thought to himself.
Then he finally asked her "Hey Sam."
She snapped out of her gaze, noticed that he called her 'Sam' instead of 'Samantha' what he always calls her, she looked at him funny and said "Yeah?"
"Can I ask you something? First I'm going to say is… eating steak and dipping it in grape jelly is not normal."
"Oh shit." she thought then she said "Hmm… I think in Europe it is." trying to play it off.
Chase gave her that 'yeah right' look then said "Tell me the truth… are you pregnant?"
It took her a few minutes to respond, then she said "Yes. I am."
"How? Well I know how… but who and when?"
"Well… it happened a few weeks before my summer vacation."
"Summer vacation? How far long are you?"
"I'm about four months."
"How come I haven't noticed?"
"I've been hiding it very well… from everyone. Only a selected few know about it."
"Like who?"
"Well… now you, Brooke, Ty, my brother, my parents, and Cal."
"Who's the father if you don't mind me asking?"
"Promise you won't say anything to anybody?"
He grabbed her hand and said "I promise."
"Okay… it's Pogue."
"What!?" he yelled a little.
"Yeah, Pogue is the father. He doesn't know and I want to keep it a secret as long as I can."
"Oh… I see." he said letting go of her hand and taking a drink of water.
The rest of their lunch was different. Sam noticed the way he was acting towards her, like it wasn't him. When they left to the dorms, the ride back was quiet. He didn't even drop her off at her room, instead he went to his own room making her walk to hers by herself.
She thought it was strange and she was beyond confused. She walked in her room and sat down on her bed.
Brooke looked up from her face being buried in a book and said "What's wrong, Mama?"
"Chase…was acting weird."
"How?"
"Everything was fine, then I slipped up. I was eating steak and dipping it in grape jelly. I couldn't help it, that's what I was craving."
"Eww… gross. You have strange cravings." Brooke said making a funny face.
"Anyways… he asked me if I was pregnant. I said yes. Then after he asked who the father was and I said Pogue was… he changed into a completely different person. He didn't talk to me the rest of the time."
"He likes you, you know. Maybe he's upset that Pogue got there first."
"I don't know… I mean I like Chase too, but even though it still hurts seeing Pogue with Kate all the time, her rubbing it in my face on purpose… I am still in love with Pogue, B."
"You two need to talk and work something out. The baby is growing and your stomach is getting bigger… you won't be able to keep a secret for too long."
"Yeah, I know."
"Like I said before, Daddy needs to know about his baby… Maybe when he finds out, he'll leave the bitch."
"That's what I am hoping for… but he' s in love with her, so I doubt it."
"Tell him tonight at Nicky's and find out."
"Okay, I will."
"Good."
"But, I am afraid of what his reaction will be."
"Honey… it's not like he'll like hate you forever or never talk to you again. I know he cares about you and all of you have your 'special bond' that can't be torn apart and I doubt he'll ask you to give it up or ask you to 'get rid' of it or something."
"Well… not only that B, this child is the first of his bloodline, heir to the power… and say if that were to happen, it would be the end of the Parry bloodline. It would stop at Pogue."
"Seriously? Wow… well we all know then that, that's not going to happen. That would be bad."
"I don't know B… should I tell him?"
"Yes, you should." Brooke nodded.
"Fine."
"You'll feel better once you get it off your chest… before it comes out of your stomach."
"Ha-ha, B." she said throwing a pillow at Brooke's head.
"Everything will be fine, Sam… you'll see."
"I hope so, B. I hope so." Sam said looking out her window.
