Cleo's POV:

This is probably the only time I have ever not wanted to go to school. Even though I wasn't really showing, people have a way of knowing these kind of things. Ace finally started to be his normal self again, i think he was acctually somewhat excited, we had been looking at baby cloths the other day on the internet and he seemed to keep clicking on the girls cloths more than the boys, it was so cute.

The first half of the day went by alright, but when lunch came...that was a different story. Ace finally allowed me to sit with his friends, I didn't mind Steven and Teddy, but Kaz still had a thing for Ace. I tried my best to ignore her.

"So how was Paris?" Steven asked.

"Ummm, uneventful. We went to this stupid fashion show, and Kahlyn did unbelievable amounts of shopping."

"What about you Cleo?"

"umm, well, it was fun, i guess." I looked away quickly so they wouldn't see the lie on my face.

"Okay, what happened in Paris that you're not telling us? You guys are acting funny."

I looked at Ace, should we tell them or not. It was most likely to spread a lot quicker than I was hoping, but these guys could tell something was up.

"She's pregnant." Ace said a little loudly and squeaky. He always breaks under pressure.

"Ace!"

"i'm sorry, I can't take the pressure. You know that." I just sighed.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that." Teddy said. I glanced over at Kaz and I could tell she was holding back laughing in my face.

"Are you alright?" Steven asked.

"As good as I possibly can be i guess."

This was too much for Kaz. She burst out laughing and yelled "I knew you were going to get knocked up you little whore!!!!" The Cafeteria went silent. Great everyone knew now. Little tiny whispers swirled around me, I felt like I was going to faint.

"Kaz! why would you do that, why would you say that?" Ace yelled at her. It's about time he recognized how horrible she is.

"Well, you could have been with me, I wouldn't be that stupid, I wouldn't get knocked up."

"It's not just her fault, It's more my fault then anyone elses. I want you out of here Kaz, you're a horrible person, I can't believe I didn't see that before, and now you've hurt Cleo, I can never forgive you for that."

This whole argument was yelled. It was the best gossip the school had had in a long time.

i walked to English alone because Ace had History. People stared and giggled and pointed the whole way there. I sat way in the back, no one even sat near me, like i was a disease or something, but they had no problem with staring at me and whispering behind their hands.

I saw someone sit next to me in my peripheral. I turned to see Steven drop his bag on the floor next to the desk that was next to mine. I had never really talked to him without Ace being there so I didn't know how this was going to go, but I appreciated him sitting next to me.

"Hey." I said trying to break the awkward silence.

"Hey, how's it going."

"Alright...You know you don't have to do this. I really appreciate it, but you don't have to sit with me cause you pitty me."

"I don't pitty you." He said as the teacher walked in and started class. "I acctually wanted to offer you some help. I know how you must feel, my older sister got pregnant around your age, and I was the one that had to run errands for her cause her boyfriend was horrible, and I'm sure Ace is going to want to get some sleep, and it's going to be hard for him when you need stuff."

"Oh, well, thanks, but how are you going to do that. Am I going to call you at like 1 AM at your house and you're going to come over."

"Well, I could always stay at your house. It'll be like an extended sleep over or something. For as long as you need me, I'll be there."

"Won't your parents want you home?"

"Ehh, they don't really pay attention to me. Sometimes I wonder if they even remember I live with them."

"Oh, well, thanks, I would like that, and I'm sure Ace would love it. I would just have to ask my family." I turned to listen to the teacher, but Steven leaned over the isle.

"Don't worry, it'll all work out, you'll see."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we returned home, I went up to Carlisle's office. I knocked lightly and there was a soft come in.

He looked up from some papers and smiled when he saw me. "What can I do for you?"

"Well, I was talking to Ace's friend Steven, and he offered help with the baby, but I told him that it would just be too hard for me to get a hold of him. So, he suggested that he would stay here. I also feel really bad because his parents don't even know he exsists. I think he needs a real family, not permanant, but until the baby comes, and it would really help Ace, Steven could give him tips and everything cause his sister went through this and he helped her. So, can he stay?" I knew I went through this a little fast, I would be surprised if Carlisle even understood anything that came out of my mouth.

"I think it would be a little difficult for us to act normal for that long, but if you really think this would help, then I don't have a problem with it."

I ran up to him and hugged him. "Oh thank you Carlisle."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I walked back downstairs to find Ace, Kahlyn, and Aiden sitting on the couch, I explained to them that Steven was going to stay with us.

"Awsome." Ace said

"You mean the really hot one!?" Kahlyn asked.

"Excuse me?" Aiden said a little hurt.

"Oh, sorry, but not as hot as you."

"That's what I thought you said."

I sat next to Ace and he pulled me onto his lap. I leaned my head against his chest. This wouldn't be too bad after all.
