I woke up early Tuesday morning, about 6:00. And I wasn't tired having fallen asleep around 7:00 last night.  Well the bus didn't come until 7:15 but for some reason Gaz wasn't in her room.

I got dressed, grabbed my school bag and slowly walked downstairs.  Gaz was in the kitchen making her some breakfast.  I walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder.

"Hey, you're making eggs, can I have some?"  I asked.

"No."  She said dully.

"Well… ok.  Hey Gaz you never told me about your problem…"

"Oh Dib…"  She sighed.  "I don't know if I can tell you…"  She sat down at the table with the plate of eggs.  She rolled the eggs over and over with her fork, not eating any.

"Gaz that's what you keep telling me…  I hate being left out! I…"

"Ok…  Ok you really want to know Dib?"  Gaz asked.  I slowly nodded my head.  She closed her eyes and took a deep breath…  "Dib, I'm…  I'm gonna…  Have a baby…"  Gaz said quietly.  I sat there trying to let what she just said sink into my head.

"G-gaz…  You're not…  Are you?"  Gaz nodded.  "W-with who?"  Gaz looked guilty.

"H…he…"  She said as she shrugged. 

"How many possible culprits are there?!!?" I yelled.

"Uh… one…"  She said.

"It's him, isn't it?  ZIM!  I knew it.  The way you're always with him!  That's just wrong Gaz!  It's…  Oh my God…"  It just hit me…  Gaz was pregnant… 

I fell over and everything went black.

"Ugh…"  I groaned as I woke up lying on the floor.  It was just like Gaz to just leave me on the floor after passing out.  Well I stood and noticed her on the couch, asleep.  Her face was tear stained and I brushed the hair out of her eyes.  How could this be happening?  My little sister…  and an alien?  Zim.  I bet it was all his fault.  Yes, he wanted to reproduce so more of his little alien friends can take over the world.  I knew what his plan was.  But for crying out loud, Gaz is only in the 8th grade!

"Sigh…" 

Gaz started to cry in her sleep again.  I pulled out a blanket and put it over her as she shivered.  Poor Gaz…  She needed Mrs. Ling more than I did…

"DIB!"  Gaz suddenly shot up from the couch.

"It's ok Gaz…"  I reassured her.  She must have had a bad dream or something because she was still crying and a bit shaky.  I hugged her but she shoved me away and said that she'd be fine.

"Oh Madelyn called earlier."  She said.  "She said to come pick up your homework.  Her message is on the machine."

"Wait my homework?  How long did I black out??"

"Long enough to miss school."

"Ok well thanks for telling me that Madelyn called.  Wait did you go to school today?"

"No."  She replied.  "I felt sick."

"Oh.  Well I'm going to go get my homework.  Do you need anything?"

"Could you pick up mine too?  It's at Zim's house."

"Sigh…  Ok…"  I said with my fists clenched at hearing Zim's name.  "Bye."  I said, but Gaz had already gone back to sleep.
