Greetings earthlings! (Embracing my nerd side today) How's it going? I finally got this chapter done after rewriting the whole thing like three times. Eventually, I decided, screw it and, like I've done before, skipped over a few months to keep the story moving because, let's be honest, before, it wasn't really moving at all. Anyway, here's something I've been planning on happening for awhile. Hopefully it'll shake the story up a bit. Also, since i haven't done a diary entry in like a zillion stories (k there's only four so it couldn't be a zillion, but still) all diary entries are Sonny's POV, regardless of the POV the rest of the chapter is in. So...hyea, enjoy!

Dear Diary,

Today is exactly one year from the day we first got stuck in the future...or 11 years depending on how you look at it. Either way...wow. A lot's happened since we got here. Chad and I broke up, got back together, and then got engaged, Grady and Zora started dating, broke up, started dating, broke up, and started dating AGAIN, Tawni had a baby, and got engaged and married to James Conroy (after divorcing Chad of course), and Nico and Malena surprised us all by getting married in Vegas. The real surprise came last week though, when they announced that they're having a baby. I wish Chad and I were as lucky as them...

Nico's POV

"Nico, are you okay?" Chad asked. I stopped banging my head against the table and looked up at him.

"Yea, fine," I said, smiling weakly before resting my head down on the table again.

"Come on, it's not that bad," Grady tried to convince me.

"Easy for you to say," I answered. "You're the only one here who isn't a father."

"Stop stressing out, Nico," James said. "Everything's gonna be fine. When I found out Tawni was pregnant, I flipped out and left as fast as I could, but when I came back, everything turned out fine."

"Yea, but you weren't there while she was going all psycho on everybody's ass," Chad said. "Hell, her hormones were so screwed up, she was convinced she was in love with me."

"Not helping," I commented, trying to push the thought of Malena leaving me for Chad out of my head. Now that it was in there, it wasn't easy though. But then again, I had a bigger concern. Malena was still sick and she wasn't showing any signs of getting better. The last thing she needed was a baby.

"Everything's gonna be fine," James assured me. "Trust me. You'll be a great dad. It's really not that hard."

"Says the guy who left his 7-month-old alone in the car for two hours yesterday before noticing she was missing," Chad smirked.

"That was one time," James said. "And it's not like you've never done anything like that with Ellie."

"Actually, I haven't," Chad informed him. "No one has. Except for you evidently." James scowled at Chad and then went to go join Tawni and the other girls in my livingroom. Through the door, I could see Malena sitting on the couch, squealing excitedly as she rested her hands on her belly.

"How could this happen?" I muttered, blinking rapidly to stop myself from crying.

"Is there something you want to talk about?" Chad asked me. I shook my head. "Are you sure?"

"I'm not supposed to say anything, but..." I trailed off, not sure whether I should tell Malena's secret to another person. I glanced over at Grady and he nodded. "She has leukaemia."

"Oh my God," Chad muttered under my breath. "Is she...you know...is she gonna be okay?"

"I don't..." I began, choking up. "I don't know." Grady patted me on the shoulder and I let out the tears I'd been holding back.

"And the baby?" Chad asked.

"Well, we talked to Malena's doctor yesterday," I explained, trying to regain my composure. "And she said that preterm labour, spontaneous abortion, and still birth are all common in mothers with leukaemia."

"I'm sorry," Chad said, putting his arms around me and hugging me. Grady joined in and they both hugged me until I was gasping for air.

"Thanks," I said, after our group hug was finished. "You guys are the best friends I could ever hope to have."

Haha I love that Grady and Nico are both friends with Chad now...not James though. Not really. He's just like this guy who's always around when they don't need a guy around. He's like this spare guy. GOD, he's such a spare! Haha! Half expected Voldy to come in and Avada Kedavra his ass! (That whole spare thing was from AVPM if you didn't get that...)

Anyway, speaking of Harry Potter, I forgot one important person you need to vote for for the teen choice awards. Tom Felton for movie villain. I forgot cuz it's like way at the bottom of the page, but better late than never right. Ooh and speaking of Tom Felton, have you seen his reaction to avpm on youtube? it's hilarious.

"She rolls around on the floor a lot."

"Rolls around on the floor alot?...She?" lmfao. anyway, i was watching the philosphers stone again the other day and i cannot get over how cute ten year old emma watson is. Every time i see her, i'm like "OMG! I wish 10 year old hermione was my little sister." then she opens her mouth and i'm like "UGh! goD! never mind!" haha i don't actually dislike her, but she can be annoying sometimes. Anyway...that's all for now. I'll try to write another chapter tomorrow. Peace out suckahs!
