Well let's start of with this.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE YOU SAID THE LAST UPDATE WAS GOOD. It was like caffeine. Saved my sanity.
In tribute to my fellow readers and E/C shippers I decided to flip chapter 36 and 37.
I now present to you the NEW chapter 36. :D
Dec 16
Calleigh was pacing around the apartment deeply hoping that the pregnancy test will be negative.
"Stop walking around like a crazy person, you'll break the floor." Natalia joked as she entered the apartment.
"It's not funny!" Calleigh exclaimed.
"Calleigh, what's wrong?" Natalia asked, dropping her bag speed walking to Calleigh's side.
"I might be pregnant." Calleigh reported, the statement making Natalia almost faint.
"What? How!" Natalia exclaimed.
"I don't know! I mean- ahh, I screwed up! I really screwed up this time!" Calleigh declared, pulling at her blonde locks.
"Cal, calm down. You don't know what he'll say yet." Natalia told her, her brown eyes full of concern as Calleigh stared at her with her scared green eyes.
"Natalia! Jeez! Do you know how many girlfriends he's had?" Calleigh screeched.
"No, but I don't see the point in knowing..." Natalia said, those words having no meaning on Calleigh.
"A lot! He can probably dump me and move back to where ever the hell he came from!" Calleigh exclaimed, staring at the clock. "I can't do it." Calleigh said as she looked at Natalia, at the clock and back at her friend.
"Yes, you can." Natalia coaxed her friend, pushing her into the bathroom.
"You do this." Calleigh thrust the stick towards Natalia.
"Calleigh, calm down damnit! You're Calleigh! You have a gun! You don't freak out easily!" Natalia barked at her friend. "If I'm pregnant and we're still friends, you're gonna be doing the same procedure to me!" Natalia snapped, noting that Calleigh's fingers were shaking when she took back the white stick.
A look of doom overcame Calleigh as she looked back at Natalia. "I'm pregnant." Calleigh gulped nervously.
"Alright, come on." Natalia pulled Calleigh out of the bathroom. When Natalia picked up their main wireless phone, Calleigh tried to tear away from Natalia.
"Calleigh. You are going to call Eric and ask him to come over soon. And you will call now. Before you do something stupid." Natalia pressed putting the white phone into Calleigh's shaking hands. "And you will dial... now." Natalia said, Calleigh obeying her.
"Hey, Eric, it's, uh, Calleigh." Calleigh stuttered nervously as Natalia kept her from falling.
"What's going on, Cal?" Eric asked in his velevty voice.
"Can, uh, you, uh, come over?" Calleigh asked.
"Like right now?" Eric asked.
"Uh-" Calleigh looked up to Natalia who was nodding like a bobble head. "Yeah, if you can. If you can't it's not really a big deal." Calleigh lied.
"It's okay, I can come by. I'll be there in about 10 minutes. Bye." He said.
"Natalia, I CANNOT DO THIS!" Calleigh's whipped the phone across the room, it hitting the wall and falling into two parts.
"Yes you can!" Natalia said, running to retrive the phone whose battery cover fell off. Calleigh sat on the couch, nervously awaiting Eric's arrival while Natalia walked around the room collecting random items that were knocked over during Calleigh's major freakout. When both of them heard the knock on the door, Calleigh made a run for it, but ended up running right into Natalia, while Natalia made Calleigh sit down, and opened the door.
"Hello Natalia." Eric gave her an up nod as a greeting.
"Um, Calleigh, I think you need to tell your boyfriend something." Natalia said calmly as Calleigh nervously got up and walked over to Eric.
"First off all, if you're not okay with this, it's perfectly fine, I can manage on my own." Calleigh told Eric, Natalia giving her a "get to the point already" look.
"Umm..." Eric nervously looked at Natalia, Natalia giving him a shrug.
"I'm pregnant." Calleigh sighed, Natalia looking around herself to locate the rifle. Or at least an umbrella.
"I, you- wait HUH?" Eric needed to sit down, and while he took a seat on the couch, Natalia started running circles around the room, looking for a long stick or something to hit Eric over the head with. "How?" Eric asked, his eyes still square as he looked at Calleigh in confusion.
"I think it was the time we did in the bathroom..." Calleigh said, Natalia's jaw literary falling on the counter as she looked for a broom. "Too much info" Natalia thought.
"I- uh. I'm pretty much speechless right now." Eric said as Natalia stood behind him a wooden broomstick above his head.
"You're breaking up with me aren't you?" Calleigh asked, biting her lip to keep herself from crying. "Say that you are and this end with end up on your head." Natalia thought.
"No!" Eric exclaimed that being a statement that he wouldn't ever break. Natalia dropped the broom to the floor, crossing her arms in a way that read 'Well then what?'. "No, Cal, I'm not breaking up with you." Eric said, pulling Calleigh into his lap. "Even though this is a surprise pregnancy, it doesn't mean that this is bad thing, carnia." Eric said, kissing Calleigh's curls.
"You mean-" Calleigh raised her head from Eric's chest looking up at him.
"Hey. Two is a pair, 3 is a family." Eric smiled, kissing Calleigh lightly. Natalia carefully put the broom back in place, grabbed a beer from the fridge, took her sweater and tip toed outside, acting as thought she just didn't want to hit Eric over the head with a broom.
"Yesss!" Natalia squealed once she was outside, bringing a slight expression of amusement from Ryan as he, also holding a beer, looked at her.
"What.. was that?" Ryan asked, doing his best not to laugh.
"Calleigh's pregnant." Natalia annouced happily.
"And that is good how? That means that she only gonna get more crazy with each day." Ryan said, receiving a light slap on the back of the head.
"That's good because I just stopped a big freak out and a lot of aftermath." Natalia smiled.
"Well you deserve an award for being such a good friend." Ryan figured. "Cheers." Ryan said as he and Natalia clicked their bottles.
"Cheers." Natalia smiled before sipping the amber liquid.
AHHHHHHHHH!
E/C! And Calleigh's pregnant. Isn't that awesome?
