Okay, so it was either review replies or a chapter. I choose the chapter. I'm leaving in thirty minutes for an afternoon at a spa and then dinner with my husband. Maybe turning 40 isn't such a bad thing! Hopefully I'll come home tonight to tons of reviews!

Last time:

He looked at her and she was looking back at him, blue eye's wide as she listened to his every word. "I hate John. Really I do, I hate him. I hate that he has you and he doesn't even begin to realize what he really has. I hate it that he gets to hold your hand. I hate it that he gets to kiss your lips and feel the tingle that I know would run straight through me, if it were me kissing you. It breaks my heart to know that he might have touched you in ways that …"

But he never got to finish because suddenly her arms were around his neck and she was pulling him towards her, closer and closer until finally their lips met. They literally melted into each other as the kiss deepened. And there it was, that tingle, actually it was more like a bolt of electricity, that shot straight through him.

Finally, he made himself pull away from her. "Please tell me this means your breaking it off with John."

She didn't say a word, but pulled him back down to her, and once again he felt that bolt of electricity and he knew that he never wanted to be without it again.

They had gone to Derek's office, after making sure that John's parents had already picked him up to take him to the hospital. Of course, they had found a very enjoyable way to pass the time and literally had to make themselves pull away from one another.

Whitney wanted them to talk to her dad and let him know what really happened. To tell him that Cameron had only been defending her honor. She also said that she wanted to be open and upfront with her parents about their new relationship. And that's why Cam was feeling the butterflies in his stomach. Not because he was afraid of his punishment for the fight he started, but because he had been around first hand to see the way Derek treated the boys that dared visit his home.

Whitney held firmly to his hand as he used the other to knock on the door. When they heard a gruff, "Come in," Whitney leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his lips and it calmed him. He could face anything, as long as he knew that she was with him.

They walked into the office and Derek raised his eyebrows. "So is this a new development? Because I could have sworn I saw you holding hands with a different boy this morning."

Cameron looked nervously at Whitney, as if to say, 'Please take this. I don't think I can form a complete sentence at the moment'.

Whitney nodded her head in affirmation. "This is a new development Daddy, but it's the right development too. I was with John for all the wrong reasons and if I'd just listened to Cam in the first place, I would have realized that John was definitely in it for the wrong reasons. The only reason that Cam got into the fight in the first place was because he was defending my honor."

"Is that true Cameron?"

Cam took a deep breath and prayed his voice wouldn't squeak, or for that matter that something would come out when he opened his mouth. "Yes sir, it is. He was saying some pretty horrible things about Whitney, because he knew that I'd come after him. He knows exactly how I feel about Whit and he was using it to his advantage."

"So you were just defending my little girl's honor?"

"That's right. It was blatant lies, but I have to tell you it still hurt like hell to hear it. I know I shouldn't have lost my cool, but I just couldn't take it anymore. He's total slime."

"Well, I'm just glad someone else sees it besides me. I didn't say much, because I was hoping that it would run its course, but God I really can't stand that kid. Now if you two tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it. But really, he's just a creep."

"So you're not going to punish Cam then?" Whitney asked hopefully.

"No, I'm not going too. But I have to tell you that I called Sam once I got John situated. He may not be so forgiving. I have to tell you Cam, he's not happy."

Whitney turned to Cameron and smiled. "Maybe I can go home with you and I can tell your dad what happened. Then you won't be in so much trouble."

"It's okay. It's probably something I need to do on my own."

"He's right Whit. And besides, shouldn't you be at home getting ready to fly out in the morning. We're leaving at five."

"Okay, but can he at least comes over for supper. I'll be leaving in the morning and I won't get to see him until Monday."

Cameron couldn't keep the grin off his face, just knowing that she was as crazy about him as he was about her.

Derek nodded his head. "If you're not grounded and your parents don't care, we'll expect to see you at supper, okay?"

Cam nodded. "Thanks Derek. I really appreciate it."

"So I assume Cam is taking you home and you won't be needing a ride from me?" Derek asked Whit.

She looked over to ask Cam if that was okay but he was already pulling her up and heading for the door. Just when his hand was on the door knob and they where about to leave, they heard Derek call to them.

Turning around they saw a smile on his face. "I just want you two to know that I'm happy for you. I couldn't have hand picked a better boy myself. Though knowing your Kendra's son does give thought to a bit of concern."

"Daddy!" Whitney gasped.

"Well it's true. Being Sam's son is a huge plus, but when it comes to Kendra, I know first hand what I'm talking about. So I hope that your manners and the way you conduct yourself with my daughter when you're alone, will be much more in the mode of Sam.

"I promise," Cam said as his face turned bright red at the implications that Derek was pointing too.

"Good then, I'm glad to hear it. But," he said as his face took on a serious expression, "I want you to know Cam, that I have one rule that takes precedent over all others. And if you follow this, along with a few others we'll get along just fine."

Whitney could feel Cam's palm begin to sweat against hers as he shook his head and asked, "And what's the rule?"

"Really, it's very simple and if you care about her at all it won't be a problem."

"I really do care about her Derek. I'm crazy about her."

"Good, then this won't be a problem. The only real rule I have is that if you make her cry, I make you cry. It's as simple as that."

Cameron grinned at him and waited for Derek to grin back, but it didn't come. He soon realized that he was very serious and that he had meant exactly what he said.

Cam quickly lost the smile off his face and nodded in understanding. "Don't worry. It won't be a problem, I promise."

"Good," Derek said, a smile once again gracing his lips. "I'll see you at supper. And if it'll help, tell Sam to call me. I'd be happy to tell him that I'm looking at the whole situation from a different perspective now."

She had reluctantly pulled away from him and watched him walk down the steps to his SUV. She couldn't believe the luck of finally getting her dream guy and now she was going away for the weekend. She only hoped that his dad would be forgiving enough to allow him to come over for supper.

After she had watched him pull away she walked in and found no one downstairs. Once up the stairs she looked in her parent's room and found no one and assumed that her mom had ran to the store. Walking over to Jenna's room, she knocked on the door and waited for an answer. She couldn't wait to tell her what had happened this afternoon.

She heard a muffled "it's open", so she went in. She was shocked to see a very frazzled looking Jenna sitting on her padded window seat, looking quite distraught.

"Jenna are you okay?" she asked as she walked in and closed the door behind her.

Jenna just shook her head and looked back out the window.

"What happened? Are you and Jordan fighting?"

Jenna once again just shook her head no, but didn't speak.

"Then what is it? You look like you lost your last friend."

"I'm late," she whispered.

"What?"

"I'm late Whit. My period's three days late and I'm never late."

"Oh my God," Whitney said as she went to sit in the chair at Jenna's desk. "Have you taken a test yet?"

Jenna once again shook her head no. "I can't go buy a test. Everyone in London knows who all the Venturi's are. It would be all over town in a minute."

"You've got to take a test and find out for sure. My God, I can't believe this."

Jenna turned to Whitney and gave her a sad smile. "You can't believe it? Try being me."

"We've got to find a way to get a pregnancy test. Maybe there's not even anything to worry about and it's just the stress of the last couple of weeks. A lot has changed in your life."

"Yeah, maybe," she said. But she definitely didn't sound convinced.

"What about Chloe? Maybe she could buy one."

"Chloe doesn't know about us and I want to keep it that way. She's my best friend and I love her to death but I'm just not ready to tell her. You know how she is."

Whitney shook her head in understanding. "So are Gage and I still the only one's that know about you two?"

"Yes and I know that this is definitely something that I don't want to share with Gage. He's going to kill me. Well, he'll kill me after he kills Jordan."

"What about Cam?"

Jenna looked at her with shock evident on her face. "What about Cam?"

"Well, I was coming up here to tell you Cameron beat the crap out of John at practice today and now we're together."

Whitney saw a real smile cross Jenna's face, the first one she'd seen since she had entered the room. "That's great Whit. I'm really happy for you. But what does Cam have to do with my situation."

"He's coming over for dinner tonight and maybe he could go buy a test for you before he comes."

Jenna laughed out loud. "You can't be serious, Cameron Shepherd buying a pregnancy test? No way!"

"Well do you have a better idea? You know he won't betray your confidence and I don't see any other way to do it."

Jenna sat there for a moment letting everything sink in. "Do you really think he'd do it?"

"Well, I don't think he'll want too. But he's never been very good at telling us no, so I think maybe we can work something out."

Jenna looked back outside for a moment and contemplated her options. "Alright, see if he'll do it. But he's got to be sworn to secrecy."

"I promise Jenna."

Whitney got up to head for the door and she heard Jenna call her name. "Whit, I'm really sorry about this morning in the kitchen and for being such a 'b' when John was here. I was just really stressed about this whole situation and I'm sorry. And I'm also really happy for you. I know how crazy you are about Cam and he's a great guy. You two are going to be very happy together."

Whitney smiled at her sister. "Thanks, that means a lot. Now I'm going to go call Cam and see what we can do about solving your dilemma."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"You want me to go buy what?" Cam asked as he felt behind him for a chair. Suddenly, his legs felt very weak.

"I need you to go to the store and buy a pregnancy test before you come over for supper."

"Oh my God," he said as he began to hyperventilate. "I thought you told me you didn't even come close to doing anything that would require you needing a pregnancy test."

"It's not for me silly," she replied. "It's for Jenna."

"Jenna!"

"Yes Jenna."

"Why does Jenna need a pregnancy test?"

Whitney rolled her eyes. "Duh, because she thinks she might be pregnant."

"I know that much. What I meant was, why does she think she's pregnant and who would the father be?"

"She and Jordan got together a few weeks ago and lets just say that they quickly took their relationship to the next level."

"No way!"

"Yes way! Now are you going to help us out? Maybe you could go over to the drugstore on the other side of town. I don't think you'll know anyone over there and no one should recognize you."

"Whit, I'm sorry but I don't think I can do it. I feel like I'm having a heart attach right now and we're only talking about it."

"Cam, you're our only hope. I wouldn't ask you to do such a thing if it wasn't important."

"I know, but what are people going to think?"

"Well, they're probably going to think that you got your girlfriend in trouble and that you're buying a test for her to take."

"But that's not true. I don't want people to think that about me."

"Cam, you don't even know these people and you'll probably never see them again. I'm begging you, please just do it. She needs to know one way or the other."

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I cannot believe that I'm about to say this but yes, I'll go buy the test."

"You're the best! You really are. I know Jenna's going to be so happy that you're doing this for her."

"Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I'm not doing this for her. I'm doing this for you. Jenna made her own mess and she should have to clean it up. But I know it's important to you, so I'll do it."

Whitney felt the butterflies begin to form in her stomach at his words. After all the years of knowing how he felt about Jenna, to know that he was going to risk public humiliation not for Jenna, but for her brought tears to her eyes. "Thank you so much Cam."

"Alright, I guess I'll go ahead and leave and drive over there and pick it up. I'll see you soon."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They all sat at the dinner table, eating quietly. Finally Derek spoke up. "I don't think I've ever heard it this quiet. Doesn't anyone have anything to say? Isn't there anything interesting going on?"

Cam and Whitney looked over at Jenna and caught her eyes momentarily before she looked back down and began to push the peas around on her plate.

"Well, I have some news," Jordan said.

"Well tell us about it. It feels like we're all in solitary confinement here at the moment."

"Well, my agent called me and said that Sports Illustrated was interested in doing a story on me. It would be kind of a human interest story. We'd talk about my injury and how it's affected my life. And they're really interested in the fact that I've come back home to work with my mentor and coach at my old school. They want to talk about how excited I am to get to start working out again soon, and then the fact that I'll be back in New York this summer with the team. Stuff like that."

Jenna never looked up from her plate the whole time he was talking, the reality of her situation weighing on her more heavily every moment. Jordan was famous. And he'd be even more famous once the article ran and then when he was back with the team it would be absolutely crazy. With his looks and talent, he was going to get great endorsement deals and lots of publicity. That is unless they found out that he had gotten his best friend's little sister pregnant and that she was still in high school. It could absolutely ruin him. She had to take that test and know for sure, one way or the other. She couldn't take it any more.

"May I be excused?" she asked as she took her napkin from her lap and placed it beside her plate. "I'm not feeling that great and I just want to go lay down."

Everyone was looking at her questioningly. "I can't be sick tomorrow. It's the first pep rally and football game. Maybe if I go lay down for a while, I'll feel better."

"Do you want us to take you to the hospital? I'd feel better if a doctor looked at you before we all flew off to New York and left you here."

She could see the concern in her mom's eyes and tried to smile at her reassuringly. "No really it's fine. I think I just need to lay down for awhile. Jordan will be here and Nana and Papa are just a few streets down. Really, I'll be fine."

"Alright, go lay down and we'll come check on you in a little while," her mom said.

She could feel Jordan's eyes on her but she didn't look back. She couldn't, because she was afraid if she ever looked at him she'd immediately start bawling and just want to fall into his arms.

When she reached her room, she shut the door behind her and locked it. She went and pulled the sack that Cameron had given her earlier from underneath her bed. He had actually bought three different tests. He said he had no idea what to buy and he didn't want to stand in the aisle reading the back of pregnancy test boxes, so he just grabbed three and went through the self-checkout line.

Going into the bathroom she opened each box and took out the contents carefully. After reading the instruction on each one, she did as she was told and then sat in the floor, her knees pulled up tightly to her chest and her back up against the bathtub. She held her phone tightly in her hands and watched the time as is went by slowly.

Finally, the time was up and she took a deep breath, getting up on her feet and slowly walking over to her vanity. She knew that her life could be changing in a moment, just by looking at the results of three little sticks.

She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to calm herself. Telling herself, that no matter what they said, it would be okay. But she couldn't fool herself.

Opening her eyes, she looked down to where the sticks lay. And tears immediately began to stream down her cheeks. Positive, positive, positive, all three read the same thing. She covered her mouth with her hand so her sobs couldn't be heard, but still they wracked her body. Life as she knew it was officially over.

So let me clear a few things up. I know that at this point and time, technology isn't to the point where she would be able to tell she was pregnant. But this takes place almost twenty-five years in the future. We can tell at the present time at four weeks, so I'm going with technological advancements and saying that this would be a distinct possibility twenty-five years in the future.

So as you can tell its drama for Jitsy, Whitney still has her meeting in New York (which means more Gage), Citney is going strong, and Dasey is still pregnant. I think we've got a lot of story still left to tell, don't you?

Please let me know what you think. I promise I'll reply to all your reviews from this chapter!

So, that's it. I'm signing off for the last time as a thirty-something!
