A/N: I'm on an absolute roll with this. It's like I've been mining and I've suddenly tapped a rich ore vein! I promise I will update other things as soon as possible, I just want to get as much of this done as I can while my motivation is fresh.

"A girl? Oh, Haven, that's so exciting!"

Haven laughed as Amber threw her arms around her, staggering back slightly before she caught herself.

"It is...I'm starting to feel like I can do this," she admitted once Amber relinquished her hold on her. "Up until now, it's been totally crazy...things are starting to settle"

"How's your dad taking everything now?" Amber asked as they turned towards the front steps and started walking up to the school.

Haven shrugged. "He seems ok. I can tell it's upsetting to him though. He's still trying to come to terms with it all"

"Yeah...I mean, I do understand that. My dad would've killed me," Amber said softly.

Haven raised her eyebrows. "My dad nearly did, remember?"

Pushing open the doors, Haven ignored the few judgemental looks that came her way. She shoved her hands in her pockets, keeping her head down as she and Amber headed for their lockers.

She stayed silent as they reached the lockers, standing stock still beside Amber as the other girl spun her combination into the dial.

"Hey Amber!" a familiar voice called out, making Amber stop momentarily.

"Zachary, what do you want?" Amber teased as she turned around.

"Oh, just the usual sex in the locker room," Zack replied with a huge grin, leaning against the adjacent locker. Haven laughed at his faux cockiness, which in turn only made Zack's grin wider.

"Get real, Zack," Amber replied, hitting his shoulder as a smile spread across her face. "Like I'd ever sleep with you"

Zack grinned. "You love me. Anyway, I was wondering if you two lovely ladies wanted to come to a bit of a...let's just call it a get together that I'm having on Friday night?"

"I'm keen. Haven?" Amber asked.

Haven hesitated for a moment, one hand coming to rest on the swell of her stomach. Looking up at her friends, she shook her head slightly.

"Sorry...I'd better not. Might be too much for this one to handle," she said softly.

Zack nodded in understanding. "No worries. I'm having a movie night the weekend after anyway, just a few friends, no drinks. You're welcome to come along with Amber if you like?"

Haven smiled. "I'll think about it"

"Great!" Zack said happily. "I'll see you guys around. Catch ya"

Watching as he walked off, Haven slowly turned back towards Amber, who was returning to the task of opening her locker.

"I slept with Connor the other day," she said quietly as Amber's locked clicked open.

Amber snapped around to look at Haven, her eyes widening. "What?"

Haven looked directly at Amber. "You heard me"

Slamming her locker shut, Amber grabbed Haven's arm, leading her into a nearby empty classroom. Closing the door behind her, she turned to face Haven.

"Are you serious?"

Haven nodded. "I went over there after my ultrasound to tell him that it's a girl...and we were talking...and then we started kissing. Somehow we got from there to having sex"

"Do you still have feelings for him?"

Haven took a deep breath before nodding again. "I didn't realise until around the time our parents met to talk about the baby. But...I don't know...I don't think he feels the same way"

"I know I gave you shit for sleeping with him before...but you two are a good pair. You're absolutely stunning, Haven, I'm sure Connor feels something for you," Amber replied, stepping towards her.

"You think so?" Haven asked uncertainly.

Amber smiled. "I know so"

"So, your birthday's next week. Have you thought about what you want to do to celebrate?" JJ asked as she slid into the chair at the end of the table. Will looked up from his case file, looking over towards his daughter.

"Can we just do the usual? Go out for dinner with your team and Amber?" Haven replied, spreading the thick chocolate spread she'd been craving all day over the slices of bread on her plate.

"If that's what you want to do," JJ shrugged.

"Can I invite Connor and Zack too?" Haven asked, grabbing the plate with the bread and a bag of Cheetos before moving over to the table.

"Zack, who's Zack?" JJ asked, perking up immediately at the sound of an unfamiliar name.

"Oh, just the guy I'm sleeping with," Haven replied nonchalantly as she sat down.

The reaction was instantaneous. Her father almost choked on his own tongue, Henry burst out laughing from the next room, and her mother fixed a stern yet terrifying glare on her daughter.

"I'm kidding," Haven said simply, biting back a grin. "He's just a friend from school"

Ignoring Henry's snickers of laughter from the next room, JJ pointed a thin finger at her youngest.

"You don't get to make jokes like that," she said firmly. However, Haven could see the edges of the grin she was fighting so hard to keep under wraps.

"He's honestly just a friend, Mom. He's...one of the only people that hasn't been a complete dick to me since the entire school found out I'm pregnant. He's actually been really nice," Haven explained, opening the bag of Cheetos.

"Ok...well if you want him and Connor to come, that's fine by me," JJ replied, watching curiously as Haven started putting Cheetos on top of the chocolate spread layered on the bread slices. "Haven...what are you doing?"

"Eating," Haven replied, picking up one slice and taking a bite. "Ohhh...that's good"

"Do you want us to give you some privacy?" Will teased, a grin growing on his face.

"What? I'm hungry," Haven replied, taking another bite and savouring the odd combination of flavours.

"That is disgusting," JJ chuckled, shaking her head as she looked back down at the newspaper.

"Hey, you can't talk," Will said, pointing a finger at his wife. "I remember one night when you were pregnant with her, you sent me out at three am for donuts. When I got back, you put pickles on the donuts, covered them in barbecue sauce and crammed them into your mouth like you'd never seen food before"

Haven burst out laughing as JJ stared incredulously at her husband.

"How the hell do you remember that?"

Will grinned. "Because it was so revolting I couldn't look at barbecue sauce for a month without gagging"

Haven snickered, standing up from the table and taking her plate into the other room to join her brother.

"What are you all laughing about?" Henry asked, scooting over so Haven had room to sit down.

"Mom's weird eating habits when she was pregnant with me," Haven said with a giggle. "Barbecue sauce covered pickle donuts"

Henry mimed gagging, making his sister laugh.

"Although," he said, eyeing Haven's plate. "Chocolate covered Cheeto sandwiches don't exactly appeal to me either"

"Shut up, I'm so hungry," Haven scolded, taking a large bite of her concoction as Henry shook his head with a grin.

"You women are weird"
