Chapter Seventeen-That Nasty Little...

"T I don't know about this, I mean we hardly know who this guy might be.Now you want the both of us, to go chase him down all over Harmony."Kori squealed, as she followed Tania down Harmonies sparse streets."girl this is crazy, it's too damn cold outside."

"look, if you want to complain you know exactly how to get yourself home, I'm staying out here."

"and what?"Tania roared"what? are you gonna sit out here thrusting that damn piece of paper at people,honey, they'll much rather throw throw your butt in the looney bin."

Tania rolled her eyes, realizing her friend was right,"so what are we going to do, Kori?"

"research, T good and proper research...you have a copy of the yearbook at Marcus' right?"

"yeah."

"well let's go then, run down a possible list of suspects..."Kori linked onto her firneds arm as they turned a new direction"and get our verdict, ooh! girl I feel like Miguel's sexy older brother!!!"

"which one?"

"girl c'mon."Kori jerked Tania.

Ah lovely pure quiet, that's what Miguel and Charity finally got the chance to have, only three more months left and the two were just fine sitting around enjoying eachother's blissful company.

[Outside.]

"you know I still think we should of called before comming ovr like this."David began as he shivered.

"nonesense, David.Charity is my daughter...Miguel is my son in-law, that's like a permenant invetation, to their humble home."she inforced.

"I know that but lovey---"

"didn't you tell me, you wanted to make sure Miguel was treating Charity properly."

"yeah."

"well, now's the perfect time to check on him...three months before the babies born."

"I don't like the idea, Faith."

"ah, well."Faith dismissed, as she knocked on the door.

[]

"I knew it,"Charity sighed, as she reluctantly got up to answer the door Miguel not too far behind, a little pissed aswell because of the loss of quality time.

"you know what babe?"

"hum."Charity smiled, as she turned to him stopping in her tracks.

"why don't we just pretend we didn't hear the doorbell, and just run away."Miguel teased.

"run away?"Charity contimplated the very tempting thought.

"yeah, for about three months until the baby's born...hey, we don't even have to come back,"

"they wouldn't miss us that much, I mean we could write."

"or phone."

But alas the damn ringing wouldn't stop, as Faith grew more impatient on the other end of the door.

"Charity, Miguel...where are you, I know you're in there."she kept on while looking through the door's small window.

The couples sighed, softly as they approached the door.

"hey sweetie!"Faith beamed as she again, let herself in jerking her boyfriend along side her.

However before Charity or Miguel could get another word out in brushed Jessica and Reese, squabling about Reese's decison to take Ethan's prenuptual agreament to heart.

"why didn't you stop me from opening the door?" Charity whispered, to her husband who watched on.

"why is the house so full all the time?"Miguel shrugged as he replied.

The two watched on as everyone pilled themselves in making comfy in the living room.Jessica and Reese prefereed to stand and continue to bicker.

"urgh Reese I can't believe you!"

"Jessica I was only doing this to ensure a happy future."

"no, Reese,"Jessica glared on"if you really wanted to do that you wouldn't have gotten that damn thing anyways!---I mean, when the hell did you start talking to Ethan Crane in the first place!?" she screeched, at this point everyone's attention when for left to right as the couple continued to argue.Pausing to an akward silence when Charity and Miguel stepped in.

"not that were bothered by you guys popping in, any time that you very well please."Charity began with a touch of sarcasum in her voice."but why are you here?"

The five looked around at each other before all giving an array of answers, all at the same time.

"okay, let's try this again."Miguel spoke up, as the group hushed and focussed towards the two again"maybe you could tell us why your hear one at a time," he finished focussing on Faith and David.

"right,"Miguel snipped, as David nodded quietly.

"why don't you tell them Reese."Jessica began again.

"you know maybe this was a wrong time for us to come over."David began."come on Love."

"no! please stay, I think you'll really like to hear why this wedding is plumeting to the ground.

"I, um was looking into a prenuptual agreement."Reese filled in the blanks.

"wow."Miguel began, to speak into the silenced room.

"yeah, and now Jessica's a little bit upset about it...but all I'm trying to say, is this has absolutely nothing to do with us,it just protects everything.You never know,"he rambeled."right Miguel?"



Meanwhile Tania and Kori sat down, in the livingroom working with Jhon's labtop.Thinking up a list of suspects, and better yet thinking of who this secret admierer might actually be.

"that's all I know Kori, I can't think of who might acctually write all these things"Tania huffed, reffering to the poems.

Kori contimplated, she was just as stuck as her friend was but she was determined and when Kori and Tania were determined toghether, you better watch out!"I got it!" she screetched, as she took the lab top from her friends hands.

"what?"

"this guy, has to be someone we know--you know right?"Kori began as she tapped on the keys furiously.

"I'm guessing..."

"exactlly, so all we have to go is log on to your instant messages and this guy is bound to pop up right?"

"how?maybe? but what are the chances of that happening?"

"obviously they're very high"Kori smiled as a message box popped up, she turned to Tania handing her the computer,however, she didn't share the same sentiments."what's the problem, T I just found your secret admierer."

Tania looked at her, with a frown"no you didn't, you just found me Ray-J!"

"I guess it's back to the drawing board huh?"Kori smirked faintly, as tania turned away and began to talk to ray-J who yet again asked her if she was going to the dance, as Tania typed she began to think she'd never find her secret admierer...her first love.

Kay and Fox had just put Alexia down, she was growing so quickly and the couple were loving every single moment of watching it.Luckilly for them she was beggining to sleep regularly, and you know what that ment...they could sleep too of course.

Kay clicked off the light switch as she shifted the covers and joined Fox in the bed."night,baby"she began cheerfully, as they kissed softy, for a brief moment and then intensely.Kay pulled herself away, with a wide grin"we can't" she whispered with a giggle"Fox, Lexie's in the other room."

"she's in the other room across the hall."he corrected, as he kissed her more, as the both playfully fell back into the bed.

The baby monitor was on, and momentarly the both could here soft little whimpers comming from Alexia's room.She was six months and compleatly horrified of the dark.Before, she let out a compleat wail her parents met her standing in her crib.

"it's alright pumpking, dady's right here."Fox coaxed, as Alexia gripped on to him.

"you wanna sleep with mommy tonight?"Kay asked, as she rubbed the baby's back and she nodded timidly.

"she doesn't have to do that, we could just---"he whispered speedilly.

"Fox she's scared, we can't just let her stay here on her own stuff like this could scar her for life, you don't want our baby to end up in therapy do you?"Kay questioned half kidding as she rose her brow.

"no."he huffed, childishly"come on Alex, let's go to bed."the familly tariled out of her room and one by one got into bed.Alexia lay comfortably in between the two, as they had one arm wrapped protectively around their little one.

"well, I don't Know Reese...I mean I haven't gotten one."Miguel rambelled, as everybody nodded, awkwardly calm."but, maybe that wouldn't of been a good idea" Miguel teased, as he looked back at Charity.Now take it back a few months before Charity's emotions going through the rough, she wouldn't of came back with the perfect come back and they both would laugh.Not this time.Oh, sure everyone else was giggling off the chain, Hell even Reese and Jessica thought it a little funny, but Charity began to take it to heart.They all stopped, and realized Charity was still pregnant and not her normal humour filled self and hushed quickly.

"so, that's what you really think?"Charity questioned looking as if she was about to colapse on the floor and sob, until her eyes could sob no more.

"baby I was just--"

She put up her hands, to dismiss Miguel's explanation.

"oh he really shouldn't have done that."David whispered to Faith as they watched on.

At this point, Charity and Miguel were face to face and at that poitn Miguel was realizing how he really knew what to say at the wrong time.Charity on the other hand had allot of things she wanted to say to Miguel but didn't dream of saying them infornt of her own mother, thus, she did the next best thing.

"Debo de nunca lo se casó, usted bastardo engreído auto justo. yo lo haré desea que usted hiciera, obtiene a un Dios maldice de nup pre"she stated calmly as she trotted herself up the stairs, slightly turning around."Jessica would you mind.."she trailed, needing some assistance at the stairs.

¡ "Ah anda, bebé. ..I era sólo bromear regresa abajo aquí!" Miguel demanded, as Charity stubbornly stomped her way up the stairs.Miguel looked up smiling suavely, before turning back around.¡ "Mierda!" he sighed, as he made his way upstairs, but obviously Charity didn't want to here it she simply handed Miguel and pillow and in not so many words told him to fend for himself because there wasn't a way in Hell he was getting in their bedroom tonight.

"so what did they just say?"Faith questioned, as Jessica came back downstairs.

"well, my spanish isn't all that good...but I did understand Miguel was speakign the universal language of screwed."Reese said, while chuckling a bit ceasing when Jessica came into view.

"ah I was very familiar with that"David smiled."one of the many reasons I'll never marry again."he finished, as he noticed a fearful look in Faith's eyes."oh don't worry, it's just a little lover's squabble."

"yeah, aunt Faith by tomorrow I bet they'll be back to normal...they always are."Jessica giggled at the situation.

Defeated Miguel walked back downstairs,pillow in hands.

"maybe we should get going now,"Reese began.

"yeah, it's obvious you two need some time to talk...in whatever launguage you please"David went on trying not to errupt in laughter, as his eyes went towards Reese and Jessica"come, on maybe on the way home we come make some sense of this prenuptual mess up huh."he continued as he ushered everyone out, as they past through the door."son,"

Miguel looked up, as he walked through the door.

David shook his head, at the poor rookie as he sighed."words of advice for any future pregnancies...never kid with a pregnant woman."he snikered as he closed the door.
