Esmeralda chapter 14 . Jun 1
Haha thank you
Well… it seems both Stella and Arnold know now. I think Helga would like cooking as she gets older… some people in her situation would develop some affinity towards cooking. And I feel she doesn't want to be like her parents so she would do things they wouldn't do for her.
But will she also take care of Olga's kids? That would be interesting but not sure how it would work.
But yay more Shortaki!
- I personally think Helga would get into cooking and baking because chiefs (not all but most) are very bossy and like to always be in control and we all know Helga is the exact same way, so I kinda matched her abilities with her personality if that makes any sense. As for Helga watching Olga's children until she recovers... read and find out! ;)
Also feel free to check out my other story Lost in the real world where Helga and Arnold are adults (Two different universes) Lost in the real world takes place after The Jungle movie while this story takes place before the Jungle Movie.
Chapter 15:
Helga was her 6th month of being pregnant. She knew she would have to tell Arnold eventually but Helga just didn't know how. She was just scared of what Arnold's family was going to think of Helga when she finally told Arnold's family the truth. She didn't want to lose Arnold but Phoebe was right, it wasn't fair keeping this huge secret that can affect Arnold, from him. He has every right to know even if he doesn't want anything to do with Helga after she tells Arnold.
Helga wakes up a bit earlier than everyone and goes to the bathroom to shower. After she showers she gets dressed wearing one of Arnold's large T-shirts and some underwear underneath. Helga then heads down stairs to prepare breakfast for the family that morning. As she was starting to cook some waffles she heard her phone ringing on the kitchen counter. She walks over to the counter to pick it up.
Helga: Who would be calling me this early in the morning?
Helga looks at the phone to see who was calling her; it was Patty. Helga was confused.
Helga: Why would Patty be calling me at 6 in the morning?
Helga answers the phone and sighs
On the phone:
Helga: Hello?
Patty: Helga where are you? Practice is about to begin.
Helga: Practice for what?
Patty: The Wrestling Tournament that's tonight. How can you forget?
Helga: Oh yeah that. I'll just come for the Tournament. I'm not going to be able to make it this morning.
Patty: You know Wittenberg needs both of us here. We are the best ones on the team.
Helga: Patty, I'm not going to make it for practice today. I'm not feeling well.
Patty: Oh. Well I'll tell the Wittenberg You're his favorite so he'll understand.
Helga: I'm not his favorite.
Patty: Sure you aren't Helga. Anyways gotta go. Get better soon. I can't do this without you.
Helga: Don't worry, I'll be there tonight. Now go have fun at practice.
Patty: Don't worry, I'll knock 'em dead for the both of us.
Helga: Thanks Pats, love you.
Patty: Love you too.
End of phone call
Helga put her phone back on the counter and finished making breakfast. After an hour, when she was done cooking, everyone was sitting at the table eating the breakfast and was enjoying a great time until the door opened.
Phil: What the- What's he doing here?
Helga and Arnold turned their heads to find Oskar standing in the doorway of the diner room. Suzie then stood up and shouted.
Suzie: Oskar what are you doing here?
Oskar: I have nowhere to sleep.
Suzie: I thought you went back home to Europe?
Oskar: I didn't have enough money so I couldn't. Could you give me some money Suzie, my love?
Suzie: No. You are not my responsibility. You are a grown man. You need to make your own money.
Oskar: How can I make money? What do you want me to do? Sell my dick on the street?
Ernie: No one is going to want that Kokoschka you bum!
Oskar: Shut up Ernie, I'm not talking to you.
Suzie: I don't care how you make money. I am not providing you with anything else.
Oskar: Can I stay here and eat Papa?
Phil: Uh.. I guess.
Suzie: Do not let him stay here.
Stella: He can't just turn down a guest because you have an issue with them.
Suzie: I know that, but he's not supposed to be anywhere near me.
Miles: We didn't hear anything about that.
As everyone was arguing, Helga was starting to get annoyed along with Arnold.
Arnold: Why is it always something wrong when we are trying to enjoy a good meal? (To Helga)
Helga: I don't know football head, but all of this arguing is making me nauseous. (To Arnold)
Arnold: You need help going to the bathroom? (To Helga)
Helga: Yes please. (To Arnold)
Arnold helps Helga out of her chair and walks her over to the bathroom. When Helga finally got to the bathroom she lifted the toilet seat and started to vomit. Arnold then stood behind Helga and gently wraps her hair with his hand so she doesn't get any in her hair.
Helga: Thank you.
Arnold: Of course.
After a few more minutes when Helga was finished vomiting they went back to the dinner room to see everything was back to normal except Oskar was eating a plate of food and Suzie had her back towards Oskar eating her own plate of food. Arnold looked at his father Miles and he just shrugged and rolled his eyes.
Arnold just sighed and pulled out a chair for Helga to sit down in. Stella smiled at Helga as they finished eating breakfast in silence.
After Breakfast was done Helga was in the kitchen cleaning up when Stella comes in the kitchen.
Stella: Helga?
Helga turned around and faced Stella.
Helga: Yes?
Stella: I want you to get dressed, we're going out. Don't worry Arnold already knows.
Helga: Okay.
Helga puts the dish she was about to wash in the skin and runs up stairs to Arnold's room to get dressed. Arnold then comes into the room naked after taking a shower. Arnold then gasps and Helga turns around staring at Arnold's.. You know ;)
Arnold: Oh my god, sorry I didn't know you were in here. I thought you were going out with mom or something.
Helga: I was just coming in here to uh..
Arnold then grabs the towel that's sitting on his chair and wraps it around his waist. He then walks in his closet and picks out some shorts and then drops the towel around his waist and puts them on. While Arnold was doing that Helga couldn't help but stare at Arnold. Helga has seen Arnold's body numerous times but every time Helga takes a look at it she falls more and more in love with him and could feel herself blush as Arnold found a random shirt and puts it on.
Helga: God, you're so hot.
Arnold quickly turns around and looks at Helga while raising an eyebrow. Helga blushes and quickly looks down.
Arnold: Did you say something?
Helga: No, Did you?
Arnold: No. Weird, I thought I heard someone say something.
Helga: You're coming to my show tonight right?
Arnold sighs and walks to the bed to lay down on it. Helga follows him and sits on the bed next to him.
Arnold: Are you sure you should be wrestling?
Helga: What do you mean? I've been on the wrestling team since the sixth grade. I'm prepared.
Arnold: Helga you're preg-
Stella: Helga? Are you coming?
Helga sits up as she hears Stella yelling for her.
Helga: Yes, I'm coming.
Helga gets up from Arnold's bed and takes off Arnold's shirt (Helga is wearing Arnold's shirt) Arnold smiles as Helga takes off the shirt and throws it to the side. Helga then bends down and grabs some leggings. She then puts them on and and starts to wiggle into her leggings shaking her hips as she puts her leggings on. Arnold just smiles, walks past Helga and closes the door as they… ya know ;)
A few hours later Helga and Stella are at the mall just hanging around and enjoying each other's company. Helga has to admit, it's weird hanging out with a mother. Her own mother Miriam was always busy getting drunk and doing other things to ever be a true mother to Helga. Her father Bob was always busy working and focused on money to never even notice Helga. I mean Bob has been calling Helga Olga for years. So she gave up on having real parents until she met Arnold's Parents. Stella always makes sure Helga is okay and is always safe. Then Arnold's father Miles watches her and protects her. Then Arnold's grandparents are very sweet and loving. Helga honestly thought about being here with them anyways. But was she ready to finally settle down with Arnold and move in with him?
As Stella and Helga finally sat down and ate something at the food court. Stella just smiled at Helga and Helga noticed.
Helga: What?
Stella: How long?
Helga: How long what?
Stella: How long have you been pregnant?
Helga was shocked. So shocked she started stuttering.
Helga: What? I'm not pregnant. Wh-who even told you that?
Stella: Helga, I'm a mother. I would know if a woman is pregnant or not. And it's quite obvious as well, I mean the craving and mood swings?
Helga sighs. She knew Stella would find out eventually. I mean she is a mother after all, so of course she would pick up quickly.
Helga: 6 months.
Stella: Does Arnold know?
Helga: No… but I am going to tell him after the wrestling match tonight.
Stella: Oh you mean the show?
Helga: Yeah I'm in it so I have to be there.
Stella: Wait.. you're in the wrestling match?
Helga: Since I've been in 6th grade.
Stella: Helga, it is definitely not safe to be wrestling while 6 months pregnant. You and the baby could get hurt.
Helga: I'll be fine, I'll just be extra careful.
Stella: Helga, I don't think so.
Helga: I have too, you don't understand. I have to win the championship for us.
Stella: I get it Helga, but you're starting to be a mother, you have to think about your child more. That means giving up stuff to keep them safe and well protected. Why do you think I have given up exploring?
Helga: But you still do it sometimes.
Stella: I know, but when Arnold was born I stopped doing it. And when I do go I make sure Arnold is all set and give him some money just in case something happens.
Helga: My mother would never. She would just lock the door, but since I was an independent child I would know how to open it and leave.
Stella looked at Helga with a sad expression. She then reached over to where Helga was sitting and grabbed her hand.
Stella: You're mother isn't the best is she?
Helga looked down on the ground while nodding "no" Stella just smiled and grabbed her hand to hold it.
Stella: Don't worry Helga, you aren't alone anymore. We are here for you and we mean it.
Stella stood up from her seat and went to help Helga up. They walked around the mall and other places until it was now around the time for Helga to get ready for her wrestling match tonight. She has been preparing for months and she thought if she could use all the planned moves she or her baby wouldn't get hurt. She sighs as she gets out of the shower and looks in the mirror at her body (It's a body mirror) She then places a hand on her belly.
Helga: Hey in there, Mommy is going to do her best to protect you tonight. I know you think it's selfish that I'm going to fight while having you in there but I have to win the championships and then I will be done until you are old enough to stay with your family. But I promise you I will protect you no matter what my love. I love you.
Moments later Arnold came into the room. He looked angry yet hurt. Helga of course saw this and turned around.
Helga: Hey, what's wrong with you? You seem upset.
Arnold: Helga, please don't do this. I really don't think it's a good idea to be fighting tonight.
Helga: I'll be fine Arnold, nothing is going to happen. I promise.
Arnold: Helgs I don't care. It's not safe for you to be doing this any of this. I just want you to be safe. I know how much you wanna do this and I get it but this isn't safe at all.
Helga sighed, she knew what she was doing was dangerous. All she wants is to be a good mother for her child since she never had one herself. Even if that means not doing something she knew she shouldn't have been doing it. But she had to do this, even though she knew deep down she shouldn't.
Helga: I get it, Arnold, but I have to do this. I've been practicing and it should be okay. Now are you coming or not?
Arnold sighed while running a hand through his hair. He knew how stubborn Helga could be. Arnold threw on some gray sweatpants with a black muscle shirt. He then threw on a black sweatshirt on top of it. After Arnold did that he put his hair up. He grabbed his backpack and sat on the bed. Helga then rolled her eyes while continuing to get ready herself.
An hour later Helga was wearing her wresting outfit. She was wearing a pink sports bra crop top with glitter and shorts to match. She pulled the shorts over her belly button so no one would try to recognize that she was pregnant. Helga had her hair in two pony tails with pink eyeshadow and red lipstick. Helga looked good but felt awful. She sighed to herself.
Helga: You got this Helga old girl. Kick some ass.
After Helga was done talking to herself she finally awoke Arnold up and they left. Of course Helga was wearing baggy clothes when she left and changed in the car. She already knew if she left with her costume on Stella would have told her no. When they got there Arnold went to go have a seat while Helga went backstage to meet up with the team. She bumped into Patty and pulled her aside.
Patty: Helga? What the hell? The match is going to start any minute now.
Helga: I know, but we have to switch people.
Patty: Uh why?
Helga: Because I can't fight those girls I was paired with. At least not for another 3 or 4 months.
Patty: What? Why not? Helga, I didn't prepare myself to fight them so I can't.
Helga: Patty.. I'm pregnant.
Patty: You're what?
Helga: Yeah I know, it happened unexpectedly.
Patty: You should not be here. Go home. I'll tell Wittenberg your sick.
Helga: No, I'm going to bring us to victory again. We can tag team the others if we have to. But we are going to win this thing.
Patty: Helga no. You can't risk the baby. Please go home.
Helga: Fine I will...After I bring us to victory. Now you are coming with me or do I have to drag you myself?
Patty: Fine but I will be watching and jumping in if it gets too intense. Also you've got a lot of explaining to do.
Helga: I know (laughs) Come on let's go.
Patty and Helga gathered with their team and said some encouraging words. Moments later the match had started. After an hour into the match Helga was finally going to go up after the break.
Wittenberg: You ready 'taki?
Helga: Yes sir.
Wittenberg: Good, hey you okay?
Helga: Yeah why?
Wittenberg: You missed breakfast. That's your favorite thing ever.
Helga: Yeah, I just haven't been feeling well. I've been sick.
Wittenberg: Ah okay, you know you're like a daughter to me right? I can't imagine you not being on the team.
Helga: Gonna have to Wit, I'm a senior this year (12th grade)
Wittenberg: Don't remind me. I'm going to miss you and Pat. You decided where you are going to college?
Helga: Uh I don't know yet. I'm kinda just figuring things out. I'm probably going to take some time off and just focus on some other things.
Wittenberg: Well you have my number. Contact me if you need anything. Tish and I will always be ready to help ya out.
Helga: Tish, how is she anyways? Last I heard of her she was pregnant with baby number 5 ( Author's note: Yes they have kids in this universe.)
Wittenberg: Yeah I know, we're okay. She's moving stuff with her mom 'cause her mom's going across the country. She took some of the kids with her to help. So that's good.
Helga: Yeah that is very good. I'd love to see her when she's available oh and make sure you tell her I said hi.
Wittenberg: I Will 'taki now go make me proud.
Helga: You got it Wit.
Helga ran up to the wrestling ring to face her opponent, Tilly. After the referee counted them in they began to battle. Helga took the first hit and swung at the Tilly. She fell back but quickly got up. Helga huffed but got into another fighting position. Tilly sung at Helga and fell back dizzy. After a minute of Helga getting up slowly the referee gave Tilly the point. Helga rolled her eyes and got up. After the second match between the two Helga had gotten the point since she had knocked Tilly out. Helga stepped aside to get some water and take a deep breathe. There she saw Arnold smiling and cheering for her. Helga smiled as she went back up and begin to fight again.
After the Referee counted them in again, Tilly took the fist swing but Helga then grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back pushing her on the ground. Tilly than got back up and punched Helga in the face, making her nose bleed and throwing her off balance. After Helga gained some of her balance back Helga tried to swing at Tilly but Tilly grabbed Helga's wrist, twisted it and pushed her back. Helga was still dizzy but she fought back anyways. Helga tried kicking but Tilly grabbed her leg and slammed her down on the ground with her back facing it. Tilly than ran up to Helga and was about to jump on Helga but Helga quickly moved. After Helga had gotten up she grabbed Tilly by her hair and threw her to the ring ropes. Tilly bounced back and punched Helga hard in her stomach. Helga immediately fell to the gown and passed out. The referee waited a few seconds then went to check if Helga was okay.
Referee: Stop! She ain't breathing.
Arnold felt his heart stop and went into the ring to see if Helga was alright. He tried CPR but nothing.
Arnold: Call an ambulance She's not breathing
Tilly called an ambulance immediately.
After a few minutes of the ambulance arriving Arnold and Patty rode over with them to the hospital. Arnold and Patty waited out in the waiting room while they took Helga in.
Arnold: It's all my fault, I should have never let her go. God why am I such an idiot.
Patty: Arnold, it's my fault too. I told her I would protect her and I didn't. I just hope she will be okay.
Arnold: Me too, I can't lose her or my child. It would kill me.
Soon the Doctor Michael came out. (Author's note: He was in chapter 10, go read it)
Michael: You two must be here for Ms. Pataki?
Patty: Yes, how is she doctor? Can we see her now?
Michael: Yes, come come.
Michael led Patty and Arnold to Helga's room where she was sleeping.
Michael: Now can you tell me what happened?
Arnold: She was in a wrestling match and she got hit in her stomach. Is the baby alright?
Michael: Yes they are fine. All three of them are.
Arnold: Three?
Michael: Yes Helga is expecting triplets. I'm assuming you're the father?
Arnold: Yes. But they are okay, yes?
Michael: Yes they are perfectly fine.
Patty: Are you sure? Helga was punched very hard in her stomach.
Michael: Yeah, she must've put her arm or something in front of her belly. But no they are perfectly fine. Growing very healthy and looking very healthy.
Arnold: So why did she pass out then?
Michael: Lack of water, lack of food and from the exhaustion of the fight. We ran a test and Helga hasn't eaten since earlier this afternoon. Helga has to eat at least every 2 hours if she wants to keep her babies alive. Along with drinking.
Arnold: I'm such an idiot. I should've been watching her.
Michael: Don't worry kid, she should be fine. But she did break her arm so she won't be able to wrestle until she's done carrying the babies.
Arnold: Will she be okay?
Michael: Yeah she's just gonna have to wear a cast on her right arm for a month then she should be fine.
Arnold: Okay, anything else?
Michael: No, she's gonna be fine. Are you ready to see her?
Arnold and Patty: Yes
Michael unlocked the door and allowed them to enter into Helga's room. Patty saw that Helga was still asleep and kissed Helga on her forehead (Author's note: Yes they are women and friends and kiss each other on the foreheads. It's very common from where I am from. They are not together they are just friends) and left her alone. Arnold on the other hand walked in the room and looked at Helga. He sighed then put his hand on Helga's stomach.
Arnold: Hey you all, mommy is out right now. But I promise she didn't mean no harm. Your mom is just.. Very stubborn and just wants everyone to be happy around her no matter how much pain it will cause her. I promise you she's a great person. Just try not to get on her bad side. Okay I love you all, I'm going to let you all go back to sleep. I might ask the doctor if I can spend the night until your mom is well and ready.
Arnold smiled and kissed Helga's belly. Arnold then reached up and kissed Helga on her forehead. Arnold then sighed and walked away to find Doctor Michael. After finding him and asking him if he can stay, Michael said yes and had one of the nurses give him something to eat. Arnold then slept in the bed next to Helga and eventually fell asleep while talking to his children in the womb.
The next morning Helga woke up with a massive headache. She sat up slowly while stretching at the same time. After she was completely up she took a minute to look around to see where she was at. After figuring out she was in the hospital she sighed and rolled her eyes.
Helga: What did I do now?
Helga sighed once more and turned her body to get up from the bed. As she got up she heard a familiar voice she hasn't heard in a while.
Michael: Hey Pataki, off so soon?
Helga blushed instantly. The way he always said her last name when referring to her always got her excited. Helga took a deep breathe and look Michael in his beautiful hazel eyes.
Helga: No, I was just going to use the bathroom.
Michael walked into the room and touched Helga's forehead.
Michael: How are you feeling?
Helga: I'm okay, but enough about me. How is my child?
Michael: They are great, growing real smoothly and healthy.
Helga: Oh… then why am I here?.. Wait did I give birth?
Michael: No (chuckles) You passed out due lack of water, lack of food and from the exhaustion of the fight. You also broke your arm on the processe.
Helga: God I'm such an idiot, why would I go and wrestle would I know I'm pregnant.
Michael: Helga, it's okay. A lot of early mothers like you don't think things through. But now you know and won't be doing that again.. Hopefully.
Helga: Yes of course I am done with the wrestling at least until my kids can stay home with my family. I am never going to put them in harm ever again.
Michael: That's good Helga. You can start by eating properly and always drinking.
Helga: Alcohol?
Michael: What no! That will kill the baby. Drink stuff like water and juice. Mostly water.
Helga: Yeah I figured that.
Michael: Also talk to them while they are in there.
Helga: I always do.
Michael: You have my number if you need anything else. You and your boyfriend are going to be great parents.
Helga: Boyfriend?
Michael: Yes, the young man laying in the bed next to you. He didn't want to leave at all. He insisted he stayed right there next to you.
Helga: Young man-
Helga looked over in the guest bed and saw Arnold laying in it. Helga blushed once again before looking away at Arnold.
Michael: Well I better go check on other patients. Let me know if you need anything.
Helga: When can I go home?
Michael: In 4 days.
Helga: Okay, can I have some breakfast? For me and my boyfriend.
Michael: Of course Ms. Pataki, I'll let the nurse know right away.
Helga smiled and went back to the bathroom where she began to shower and do her morning activities. (Arthur's note: Helga is Ambidextrous, meaning she can use both hands equally well Craig Bartlett said it himself. ) An hour later Helga was laying in bed eating her pancakes and cereal the nurse had gotten here for breakfast. As she was eating she heard movement and a yawn coming from her room. She looked over to see Arnold sitting up looking at Helga. Arnold gasps then jumped up and hug Helga then kiss her all over her face. Helga was shocked but of course but she laughed while she hugged Arnold back.
Arnold: Oh my god you scared me Helga.
Helga: Arnold, I'm fine.
Arnold: I know but just the thought of losing you scared me.
Helga: It did?
Arnold: Yes Helga, I- I- I-
As Arnold was about to say " I love you" Stella and Miles came in running along with the other boarders. Stella and Miles hugged Helga.
Helga: Hey everyone (chuckles)
Stella: You scared me, how could you do this?
Miles: What happened?
Helga: I went to the wrestling match…
Stella gasps while frowning at Helga.
Helga: I know, I know. I'm in big trouble.
Miles: When can you come out?
Helga: In about four days. I broke my arm and they wanna give it 4 days to see if I'll be fine on my own.
Stella: I'm very disappointed in you Helga. You could've gotten yourself badly hurt. Or worse, you could've killed the ba-
Helga: I know, I won't do it anymore till after. I'm going to be very careful.
Stella: I really hope so Helga. You mean a lot to me and I don't wanna see you or anyone hurt.
Stella leans over to kiss Helga on her forehead.
Stella: Please be careful.
Helga: I will, don't stress about me. I'll be fine.
Miles: That's good kiddo.
Mr. Hyunh: We take very good care of you when you get back.
Ernie: That's right Helga. You take care of us, we are gonna return the favor.
Helga: Awe you all don't have to do that.
Suzie: Nonsense Helga, we love you. And we will do anything for you.
Phil: That's right Helga, You're a big part of our life now.
Pookie: That's right Eleanor, call us if you need anything at all.
Helga looked like she was going to cry. She never had a family who loved her as much as Arnold's. It was like a dream come true.
Stella: Come on everyone, Helga needs her rest. We'll be back later on tonight. Well I will be.
Helga: Thank you everyone. I really appreciate you all. You all are the absolute best.
Miles: Get some rest kiddo, you need it. Arnold, are you coming with us?
Arnold: Uh I'll meet you all at the house. I'm gonna stay with Helga some more.
Stella: Okay honey, call us if you need anything okay?
Arnold: Okay mom, bye I love you.
Stella: Bye my loves. I love you two as well.
After Arnold and Helga said goodbye to everyone, Arnold sat in the chair next to Helga's bed. Helga looked at him confused.
Helga: What's up?
Arnold: Is there something you would like to tell me?
Helga felt her heartbeat racing.
Helga: W-what are you talking about?
Arnold sighed while looking Helga in the eyes.
Arnold: Helga, I know you're pregnant.
Helga gasped, how could he have known?
Helga: W-what?
Arnold: Helga why didn't you tell me?
Helga looked down at the blanket and started to play with it. Then Helga looked Arnold in his eyes while saying..
Helga: Cause you would've left.
Arnold: Left?
Helga: You think a guy who gets a girl pregnant would wanna stay in her life? Arnold, you have a whole future ahead of you. I don't want you to feel like you have to be with me because I'm carrying our child.
Arnold: Helga, I wouldn't leave you because you're pregnant. I'm not like that at all. If you're pregnant I'll be there for you and our children. I don't want you to do this alone. I'm going to help you get through with it.
Helga: You would?
Arnold: Yes Helga, I really really like you and I really wanna be there for you and our children.
Helga laughs
Helga: Children? I'm pretty sure I'm carrying one baby.
Arnold: Uh… about that..
Helga: What?
Arnold: We're having triplets.
Helga: W-what? How?
Arnold: That's what Michael said.
Helga: Well do we at least know the gender?
Arnold: No, he didn't say that much. Just that we are having triplets.
Helga: Oh my god, you're never going to want to be with me after this. I'm going to be so flabby.
Arnold: That's not true Helga. You're going to still be so beautiful.
Helga: Really?
Arnold: Yes Helga (laughs)
Helga: Oh my god, how are we going to take care of three kids?
Arnold: Well.. that is an issue.
Helga: I don't know what I'm going to do.
Arnold: Helga, don't worry we will figure it all out… together.
Arnold grabbed Helga's hand and kissed it. Helga smiled while blushing. Arnold saw it and kissed her lips. Once again Helga was shocked by Arnold's straightforwardness but she didn't care. She actually kind of liked it. As they were getting more and more deeper into the kiss they heard throats being cleared and looked up to see Phoebe and Gerald looking at them smiling. They blushed and then looked away from each other. Before Arnold sat back down in the chair next to Helga.
Gerald: Well… it's about damn time. It's been what? 10 years? 11? 12? 13?
Phoebe: Ger? Really?
Gerald: I know. I know.
Phoebe: Helga, we heard what happened and came right away. Are you okay?
Helga: Yeah, we're fine.
Phoebe: That's good.
Gerald: Hey Arnold, why don't we go and give the ladies a chance to catch up.
Helga: I agree Arnold, go home and bathe or something.
Arnold: I kinda smell don't I?
Phoebe: Well…
Helga: Yeah you do.
Arnold sighed
Arnold: Okay Helga, I'll see you in an hour.
Helga: Arnold, go. I'll be fine
Arnold: No, I'm not leaving you alone .
Helga: Arnold, I'll be fine. Just go home and bathe and get a few things for me. Please?
Arnold sighed while looking at Helga.
Arnold: Fine, I'll be back later on with your stuff.
Helga: Thank you. I'll text it to you.
Arnold reached down and kissed Helga on her lips. Then Arnold went to Helga's belly and kissed her stomach.
Arnold: I'll be back. Please call me and let me know if you need anything.
Helga: I'll be fine Arnoldo. Just get outta here before I start throwing things.
Arnold laughed
Arnold: Okay, I'll see you later. Bye
Helga: Good bye.
After Arnold and Gerald left Phoebe closed the door and screamed in cherry. Helga just looked at her confused.
Helga: What the fuck?
Phoebe: I know, I know. I'm just happy for you two. You two are finally together.
Helga: Uh.. Pheebs.. We aren't dating…
Phoebe: What? I thought-
Helga: No, he never asked me. He was going to tell me something until his family showed up.
Phoebe: Oh.. well either way I'm excited for you two. You told him about the baby?
Helga: No, he already knew.
Phoebe: What? How?
Helga: I don't even know.
Phoebe: So?
Helga: We are going to work things out. He really wants to have a family with me.
Phoebe: Oh Helga, that's so sweet.
Phoebe got up from her chair to hug Helga. Helga hugged her back.
Helga: I'm just scared. What if he says this now and then leaves?
Phoebe: He won't leave you Helga, the boy is head over heels for you. He clearly wants to be there for you.
Helga: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Phoebe: Do your parents know? Does his parents know?
Helga: Arnold's mom knows but his father, I'm not really sure. As for my parents, no and I'm not telling them either. I don't want them in my children's life.
Phoebe: Children?
Helga: I'm having triplets…
Phoebe: Oh..
Helga: Yeah..
Phoebe: Have you thought of a plan?
Helga: Well we are definitely going to finish school since we are almost done anyways. No point in dropping out.
Phoebe: True, and it's not like Highschool really matters anyways. You both are still passing even though you haven't been there for months. So as long as you graduate it's fine.
Helga: I just hope I can do this.
Phoebe: Helga there is no I. You have to work with Arnold. They are his children as well.
Helga: I know that Pheebs, but I'm talking about me. I really don't want to be like Miriam or Bob.
Phoebe: And you won't be. You just have to be patient and have faith in yourself. You both can do this. You have a great team to support you no matter what.
Phoebe smiles at Helga and Helga smiles back at Phoebe.
Helga: Thanks Phoebe. I really don't know what I would do without you.
Phoebe: Probably would die, and besides I'm always here for my nieces and nephews.
Helga: I know, they are going to be so lucky to grow up around people who love them.
Phoebe: You too Helga.
Suddenly Michael comes into the room.
Helga: Hey Michael, what's up?
Michael: Your parents are here, would you like to see them?
Helga: My parents?
Helga could feel her heart beating fast. Just the thought of being around her parents made her nauseous. She knew she would have to tell her parents eventually that she was pregnant but she didn't really want to either. Her parents did nothing for her growing up, why would she want her parents in her child's life.
Helga: What- what would they be doing here?
Michael: Well your sister is also here for her cancer.
Helga: Oh yeah I forgot about that. How is she anyways?
Michael sighed.
Michael: Do you really wanna know?
Helga: I mean yes..
Michael sighed once again
Michael: If she doesn't find a donor in about 2 weeks she's going to die.
Helga felt her heart dropped in her chest. She thought Olga had another month left. She didn't realize she would have only 2 weeks.
Helga: Let me give her some of my blood.
Michael: You can't Ms. Pataki, a pregnant woman, can not give blood. And plus you and Olga don't have the same blood type. But I did some searching because I don't give up easily.. Your mother Miriam Pataki can give some blood but she already said no.
Helga: Wait, Miriam can give blood?
Michael: Yeah she's a perfect match
Helga: But she said she wasn't…
Michael: Well that's a lie because Miriam is.
Helga: But why should she lie? She told me I was a perfect match.
Michael: I don't know Ms. Pataki. Should I invite them here?
Helga: No thank you. I would like to see Olga though
Michael: Yes, you can.
Helga: Thank you.
Michael: I'll give you her room number when I get back from your parents.
Helga: Thank you Michael.
Michael: Anything Helgs
Helga blushed as Michael left her room. Phoebe cleared her throat and looked at Helga. She looked at Phoebe and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Helga: What?
Phoebe: You sure have gotten smitten with him last time I've seen you two.
Helga: Well we talk sometimes.
Phoebe: Really about what?
Helga: Mostly about my pregnancy or he checks to see if I am okay. Nothing too much.
Phoebe: Oh gotcha.
Helga: He's very sweet.
Phoebe: I can tell.
An hour has passed since Helga and Phoebe were talking and catching up on everything. After another hour Phoebe had left and Helga was alone in her room. Helga was watching some tv until hours later she fell asleep…..
