Thank you a lot for all the reviews. I know a lot of you are waiting for Paige to tell her parents.. I will write it as soon as it happens. I'm trying to at least make the beginning of the story bases on my experiences. I will always let u know in the author's notes when something is coming from my imagination. If it doesn't state, assume that this is pretty much the exact situation I was in and almost perfect words.

Also sorry on the BIG difference in Paige's childhood and what the show writes it to be…

Chapter 3

Pulling on her new black hip huggers she sighed, feeling they were a little tighter than when she had bought them a few weeks ago. Groaning she turned side ways in the mirror, glancing at her back and but in the pants. Sighing she kept them on, happy on the way it made her butt look. Walking slowly back to her closet, she slowly begin thumbing through her shirts. She still was skeptical about going to the party, but had been convinced time in and out by Kayla that everything would be normal, and might get her mind off it. She was a little upset at the thought of a party as it is.  She was the party girl, the one that was always on the dance floor grindin' with the guys, the one laughing it up and always the center of attention. And look where it got her.

Sighing she ruled out almost have of her wardrobe to wear, mostly halter tops, tube tops, and other inappropriate shirts. She was sure she could still fit into most with quiet easy. She just didn't feel comfortable. Then again, she couldn't give any clues that she was pregnant. She didn't need the loud mouths telling her parents, and it wasn't any of their business. She will tell them when she's ready. Or they will soon find out on there own. Shaking her head at the thought of when she soon won't be able to hide, "the secret."

Pulling out a black halter top with black, fish net almost, like pull over sleeves. Finally changed she did another check in the mirror. She looked different to herself, but she wasn't sure why. She patted her stomach like she had done so many similar times in the last three weeks. She was a little over two months now, her stomach was still flat. She, herself, could see it already starting to bulge, but no one else had seemed to notice and she was great full.

She quickly pulled her hand off her stomach when she heard the soft knock on the door, and before she answered it slowly began to open just like it always did. Groaning silently, she mumbled something about no privacy before smiling to her mother.

"Alright you have our cell phone numbers if you need us."

"Uh huh"

"Have fun with Kayla"

"I will mommie, Happy New Year"

As soon as her mother closed the door, Paige's hand went right back towards her stomach. "Don't worry little one she'll know soon enough."

Hearing the honk from outside, she grabbed her coat of the chair and began to run down the stairs and out the door.

Paige sat on the couch in the corner, glass of punch in her hand, her head slightly bouncing to Causalities playing in the background. She watched as Kayla danced with about 3 guys, her body in perfect rhythm with the music and the guys. She sighed and took another sip of her punch. That was usually her, granted Kayla was a better dancer than she was, but she wasn't half bad herself. She smiled as Justin and Kellie sat down next to her, old friends she had known a few years. She could smell the beer on Kellie's breath, made her slightly giggle to herself.

"Wanna sip" Justin offered, Paige quickly snapping "No". Shocked at her own response she tried to cover up for herself, "I mean I already had one, I am going easy tonight."


"Yah right, Paige Matthews suddenly becoming a light drinker, On New Years Eve to top it off, my ass."  Paige bit her lower lip not to comment, but she knew Kellie wasn't thinking straight. "Yeah I know" She faked a small laugh smiling at her "so called friends." She watched as Kellie suddenly put down her drink and stepped up onto the coffee table, dancing to the music as a few guys around her did the same. She laughed as Kellie, who wasn't the best dancer as it was, tried to dance while she was drunk. She shook her head softly as Kayla finally stopped dancing and joined her also drink in hand.

"I'M NOT LIKE THAT WHEN I DRINK, AM I?" She shouted over the music as Kayla laughed herself at Kellie's sight. "Nah HUN, USUALLY TAKES A LOT MORE TO GET YOU THAT BAD."

She laughed as Kayla slowly walked back into the dancing mode, leaving her to sit on the couch and watch everyone else. Sighing, she put down her punch and headed into the front room. Grabbing her coat off the rack, she waved goodbye to Kayla, and opened the door, fully ready to walk the pretty long distance home.  Stepping out, she almost walked straight into someone.

Rubbing her head slightly, she opened her mouth to apologize, and looked up realizing it was Jason. Both smiled at each other as he made way for her to step outside and closed the door after her. "Didn't think you would come…"

"I didn't drink. Headin' home… Didn't realize how boring these things are when you're not drunk." He gave her a slight laugh and wrapped his arms around her waist, hoping to stop some of her shivering. "Come on I'll give you a ride home."

~~

"10…9…8…7...6...5…4…3…2…1..."

"Happy New Year" The two yelled at each other as Jason kissed her on top of her forehead, as she blushed slightly. Jason bent down and placed his face next to Paige's stomach as she giggled, "Happy New Year little one."

The two giggled, settling down on the couch. "Sorry this isn't as good as the party, you could have gone back ya know?"

"This is where I belong, with my sorta-in-a-way-screwed-up-demented-family." Laughing they raised their glasses and cheered to the start of their new family and collapsed on the couch and flipped through the stations trying to find something to watch.

~~

Yawning, she blinked her eyes and stretched slightly. Letting out another yawn, she glanced down at the sudden blanket that was covering her that she was sure was not their when she fell asleep. Smiling slightly, she noticed Jason asleep in the recliner in the corner. Grabbing her own blanket, she walked over and gently placed it on top of him and walked into the kitchen to start on break feast for the family. More than likely, they would be hung over and in desperate need for food.

Walking past the dining room and into the kitchen she took a quick glance at the clock above the island. She couldn't believe Jason was still here and it was already five am. Shaking her head, she rubbed her temples slightly, even though her head didn't bother her, just out of habit. Biting the inside of her lip, she was still slightly depressed it was New Years Day and she had about no fun last night. . Of course she enjoyed being around Jason, and was very impressed he stayed with her instead of at the party, but she's the party girl. She goes out and has fun and then complains about how it's extremely hard to do Honors Chemistry while you have the biggest hangover. But she would manage, still get an A on the test, and then go to the mall for the soul reason to walk around and rag on the preps they could find. She had fun, and now, what could she do? Stand in the kitchen and make breakfast for everyone.

Glancing at her stomach she shrugged slightly before heading into the refrigerator for eggs. Getting out the skillet she found herself silently humming. She couldn't put her finger on how she knew the song though. Not exactly her every day song. Shrugging it off, she continued cooking the eggs, hearing the door, rather loudly, close shut. She laughed as she heard her mother and father humming the "We wish you a Merry Christmas" Song.

She couldn't tell if they were still drunk of if the drowsiness and the hang over was beginning to set in. "Hey you"

She turned to see her two older cousins standing in the door way. Obviously they had handled their liquor better than her parents. "Those two got messed up bad"   She laughed and offered Michael and Christian a plate full of eggs, which they happily took. Smiling to herself, she opened her mouth to talk, but shortly forgot what she was about to say as she heard her mother scream her name.

Running out into the dinning room, she met her mother half way, who was looking very mad. "Mom, Jason is asleep what do you need."

"That's exactly it. I thought you were at Kayla's what is Jason doing here at Five in the morning, when no one else is in this house but you two."

Rolling her eyes, she sighed slightly, how could her mom think…. She stopped herself in mid-thought. She has no right for her to get angry at her mother for her "lack of trust" in her anymore. "Mom its ok nothing happened"

"Like Hell, Like I need you getting pregnant Paige. You are actually doing well in school you don't need to ruin your life with a baby, and a guy who will leave you as soon as you find out, which by the way would mean I WOULD be raising the child." She sighed; she has had this conversation with her mother before. Her mother had gotten pregnant at 17 and had to drop out of high school because Paige's father had left her, not ready for a child. Her step-father had been their since she was two years old, Paige would never think of him any less than a father.

"Ms. Matthews it's ok, if your uncomfortable here then I can leave I fell asleep we were watching old movies, I'm really sorry" Jason tried to  guide the situation away from the pregnancy subject, obvious Paige was on the verge of tears. He stood in the door way, looking groggy, Paige's father standing behind him.

"Your damn right I have a problem with you being here. Jason I thought you were better than that, but when you dumped Paige for that stupid skanky cheerlead Becky, I lost…."

"MOTHER STOP" Everyone, including Paige herself was shocked by the tone of her voice. Everyone turned to stare at her, as tears were now streaming down her face, and no one but herself and Jason had noticed her hands were shaking. Jason slowly walked over to her, Paige's mother's face showed a look of disgust as he walked right past her and grabbed Paige slightly by the shoulders, whispering something no one could hear but them.

"You sure you wanna do this now Paige? In Anger, and rage? This isn't the way and you know it."

She only nodded slightly as she walked to the side of him towards her mother. Thankfully, he grabbed her around the waist and held her affectionately, preventing her from showing to much anger.

Her voice was still screaming, as her cousins sat down at the table, continuing to eat sensing this was a family moment. "MOM YOUR TO LATE, I'M ALREADY PREGNANT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S NOT GONNA RUIN MY LIFE CAUSE JASON IS GONNA BE HERE WITH ME, WE ARE GETTING THROUGH THIS TOGETHER, HE'S NOT LIKE DAD" Her voice was brought down severely at her own comment, as tears were raging from her eyes. Jason kissed the top of her forehead lightly, trying to calm her slightly. "He's not like how dad was. He's gonna stay here for me, and take care of me and the baby."

Her mothers eyes were widen and her jaw had dropped. She was standing in shock and rage, as her husband came up and held in her in a similar fashion that Jason was holding Paige. Michael and Christian had placed down their plates and were quickly in between Paige and Jason, and her parents.

"Look Aunt Jan, Uncle Joe now is not the time to discuss this. She's tired and needs sleep and you're still drunk. Go upstairs and rest and talk about it later."

"No we.."

"No Aunt Jan look at Paige. She needs you to go upstairs and calm down more than she needs a lecture right now." Grabbing the older couple Michael lead them upstairs as Paige quickly walked out the door, Jason and Christian quickly on her heals.
