The next three weeks went by and slowly things returned to normal for the Summers's household.

Elizabeth had been punished. Her parents had grounded her for two weeks and after the two weeks it seemed as if all had been forgotten.

Her parents still treated Dawn like an ex convict and her as their princess who just happened to be tempted by the dark side momentarily.

It was now three weeks into summer vacation and Elizabeth was pissed. She had just spent two weeks grounded and now she was currently bent over the toilet with the stomach flu.

"Elizabeth maybe we should just stay home tonight." Willow was trying her hardest to talk her friend out of going to the party at their other best, Cordelia's, house.

Cordelia always had the best parties and it was proving to be quite the task to get Elizabeth to stay home. However, Willow was determined and when Willow gets her mindset she usually gets what she wants.

"Wills I am getting out of this damn house. I have been in here for wayyyy to long."

"Yeah I know, but one more night won't kill you and come on Liz you're really sick. I mean for the past like six days you've been throwing up."

"Only some of the time. Other times I'm perfectly fine." Elizabeth pouted.

Unfortunately for Elizabeth Willow was not letting this go and Elizabeth had no choice but to agree that she wasn't feeling good enough to go out. Plus it would definitely suck if you like decided to throw up all over some cute guy. Elizabeth cringed at the thought.

"Ok so you may be right." Elizabeth admitted. "You think." Willow joked.

"Ok so how about we both stay home tonight. We can rent some movies and get some ice cream. It will be girls' night. Willow squealed at the thought but then backpedaled. "Or maybe no ice cream since your stomach is all blah."

Willow began to ramble about how there was no need for ice cream when Elizabeth piped up. "Are you kidding me we need ice cream and maybe some chicken." Elizabeth mouth began to water at the thought of the food.

"Ice cream and chicken?" Willow questioned. "Yeah, doesn't that sound good?" Elizabeth went to wash up.

"Sure Liz, ice cream and chicken it is." Willow shot her a weird look but Elizabeth didn't notice she was too busy drying her hands.

"Listen, I'll go get the food and movies, you stay here and rest."

"Ok. Hey Willow can you get some barbeque chips too." Elizabeth called over her shoulder as she went to get something for her stomach.

"Uh sure, no problem Elizabeth." And Willow walked out the door, new thoughts tumbling through her head.

********************************* *An hour later*

"Hey Elizabeth, I'm back!" Willow called out into Elizabeth's large home.

"Mmmmm yummy food time." Elizabeth said as she grabbed the bags and proceeded to dump them across the table.

"Hey Wills are you sure you want to stay with me all night? I mean it is ok if you want to go to Cordelia's. I promise I won't mind.

"Forget it Liz you're stuck with me tonight. It's gonna be me and you whether you like it or not." Elizabeth smiled widely at Willow thankful that she had such a good friend.

Elizabeth began her search through the bags contents "Oh Phish Food Dawn's gonna be so mad she missed that. Oh well too bad for her."

"Wait Elizabeth hold on a second." Willow pleaded with her to get her to stop her searching.

"What is this Willow?" Elizabeth asked holding up an at home pregnancy test.

"Well you know how umm" Willow stammered "Yes" Elizabeth prodded. "Well you know your sickness and the food choices got me thinking and well you know that night with Spike?"

Elizabeth recoiled a bit at the name she still hadn't told anyone besides Willow about that night. It had been sad that first week after he had left but now she had just stored the memory in her head and learned to live with it.

"Yeah what about that night?" Elizabeth questioned Willow wondering exactly where she was going. "Well did you two use protection or anything?"

"Of course!" Elizabeth replied instantly but as she said the words her mind raced back to that night. The bed and the kissing and she slowly sank into the chair behind her in horror.

"Oh my God, Willow what have I done?" Her face had fallen and worry was now etched into her features.

Willow immediately went to comfort her friend and hugged her close. "Hey Elizabeth don't be sad. Come on we don't know anything yet. Lets just wait and see what happens with the test before we freak out."

"Willow what am I gonna do if it comes back positive? I can't have a baby. I can't be a mother." Elizabeth started to tremble.

"Well have you skipped a period?" At Elizabeth's ignoring the question and letting her eyes glue themselves to the ground Willow decided to let that one go. "It's ok Elizabeth. It will be ok." Willow began a comforting chant trying to calm her friend.

Elizabeth pulled away from Willow and looked over to the pregnancy test on the counter. This is crazy she thought. I'm not some girl who gets knocked up by some guy she doesn't even know.

Hey maybe it's not what we're thinking. Yeah it will probably come back negative and we'll all laugh over this. Nevertheless, as she thought this she was also thinking yeah right you knew this was coming. You knew something was off and now it's time to find out for sure.

"Well, here goes nothing." With that Elizabeth got and grabbed the test from the counter and turned towards Willow. "Wish me luck." She said and headed down the hall to the bathroom.

"Good luck" Willow whispered as she heard the door close.
