A/N: I know I haven't updated this story in a while. I've had a pretty crummy week. Oh well, I'm back on track now.
Disclaimer: I don't own 7th Heaven. Why would I be living in New Jersey if I did? I also don't own the songs used in this chapter. I put a song in each part. But, I do own "Lacey's Dining Paradise".
Summary: Basically, this chapter is the dinner.
Chapter Nine: Out To Dinner
(Last Chapter)
"Hey Kevin." Roxanne greeted Kevin, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Roxanne, Kevin and I have a surprise for you." Lucy said; the plan was about to be put into action.
Lucy opened the back door of the car. Chandler was sitting in the back seat.
"Hello Roxanne." Chandler greeted.
"Chandler, what the hell are you doing here?!" Roxanne screamed.
(Regular Chapter)
Roxanne got no response. Chandler just sat there, motionless, just glancing at her. She was really getting annoyed with Chandler and the way he had to act so clam all the time.
"I said: what the hell are you doing here?!" Roxanne repeated.
Chandler said nothing. "Damnit Chandler, answer me!"
"I had to get you to talk to me somehow." Chandler responded, finally.
Roxanne turned to Lucy, who was standing behind her. "How could you do this to me, Luce?! You and Kevin both, I thought you were my friends!"
"We are your friends, that's why we did this." Lucy replied, getting into the passenger's seat of the car.
"Well, I am not getting into any car and sitting next to...to...to...that man!" Roxanne said, pointing at Chandler.
Kevin turned his head towards Roxanne. "Roxanne, you're being ridiculous. You and Chandler love each other. Just talk to him."
"NO!" Roxanne shouted.
Lucy stepped out of the car. "Look if it makes you feel any better, I'll sit in the back seat and you can sit in the front."
Roxanne thought about it for a quick moment. "Fine, as long as I don't have to be near Chandler."
Roxanne got into the passenger's seat. Lucy sat in the back seat. After everyone closed his or her cars doors, Kevin drove the car away from Roxanne's house.
-When I look in your eyes
Baby here's what I see
I see so much confusion
And it's killing me- (Shoo-Bee-Doo, Madonna)
(-----)
-True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be
True blue
Baby I love you- (True Blue, Madonna)
The song "True Blue" played on the radio station that was on. Roxanne quickly changed the station. She was not in the mood to hear any kind of love song, Being that her love life wasn't that great right now.
"Roxanne, are you ok?" Kevin asked her as he was driving.
"Look Kinkirk, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just focus on the road, ok?" And with that, Kevin continued to drive.
(-----)
Meanwhile in the back seat, Lucy and Chandler sat in silence.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll talk to you." Lucy whispered to Chandler.
"I hope so. I love her, and I want us to work out. If not, I don't know what I'll ever do." Chandler whispered back.
-I'm still hanging on
But I'm doing it wrong
Can't kiss her goodbye- (Promise To Try, Madonna)
(-----)
After a car drive that seemed to last forever, though it was only about ten minutes, Kevin pulled the car up at the restaurant: Lacey's Dining Paradise. It was a rather big place with many fancy dining rooms, a huge garden out in the back, live entertainment such as singing or dancing, and about the best darn food in Glen Oak.
As the four were walking into the restaurant, Lucy and Kevin purposely walked ahead of Roxanne and Chandler...hopefully then they would talk.
Chandler caught up with Roxanne, who was trying to avoid him. "Please Roxanne, talk to me. I mean you've been playing coy with me for the last two and a half weeks. And now, we finally get the chance to talk, and you're still acting as if this is my entire fault."
Roxanne glared angrily at him. "You know what?! This is your fault! For one thing, how the hell do you think I felt when you'd have sex with me in public, in a church, but then, you wouldn't when we were alone, damnit! I feel like you were only with me because I was some kind of publicity stunt to gain you attention!"
"Roxanne, it's not like that. I just didn't want us to have sex the second time that day because we'd be making a huge mistake..." Chandler tried to explain.
Roxanne cut him off. "Yeah, a mistake! The only mistake I made was falling in love with you, Chandler Hampton!" Roxanne stomped ahead, trying to catch up with Lucy and Kevin.
Chandler hit himself in the head with his hand out of frustration. This was going to be harder than he thought. The only thing he knew now was that Roxanne was going to drive him bananas with this whole thing. He continued into the restaurant.
-I'm going bananas
And I feel like my poor little mind is being devoured by piranhas
For I'm going bananas- (I'm Going Bananas, Madonna)
(-----)
-A crowded room
Friends with tried eyes
I'm hiding from you- (Last Christmas, Hilary Duff)
The four were now seated at a table. Roxanne was trying her best to keep Chandler out of her site. She just didn't need to see him right now. Especially since of what was eating away at her mind: the fact that the pregnancy test she took was positive. She could be pregnant...this was awful, just awful.
"Roxanne." Roxanne snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Lucy calling her name.
"Yeah Luce." Roxanne said, half of her still wrapped up in her thoughts.
"Can we step outside for a minute and talk?" Lucy asked her.
"Sure Luce." Her and Lucy went out into the garden to talk.
(-----)
-Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned
Till then
It will burn inside of me- (Live To Tell, Madonna)
Out in the gardens, Lucy and Roxanne sat on a bench talking.
"Look Roxanne, he loves you. Why don't you give him a chance to talk you?" Lucy asked Roxanne.
"Because he'll have sex with me in a public church, but not in his own house. What does that make out to you?" Roxanne asked her.
"Well, did you ever think that the whole 'having sex in the church office' was kind of a caught up in the passion of the moment thing and the reason he didn't do it again is because he loves and respects you?" Lucy questioned Roxanne.
"You mean like, he wanted it save it until we're married so it was special, but we did it away, and he didn't want to do it again because it would ruin it for us when we got married?" Roxanne questioned Lucy back.
"Yeah, my point exactly." Lucy replied.
"Oh, you know come to think of it, I have no idea why I got so mad. I'm going to talk to him and apologize for getting so mad." Roxanne told Lucy.
"That's great!" Lucy said happily.
"But there's one thing..." Roxanne said quietly.
Lucy raised and eyebrow. "What?"
"I think I'm pregnant." Roxanne practically whispered those words.
Lucy's eyes widened. "How do you know?"
"Well, I usually start my period at the beginning of the month, but I missed it this month. So I picked up one of those early stage pregnancy tests at the store. I took it, and it was positive." Roxanne explained.
"You've got to tell Chandler." Lucy responded.
"I plan to when I talk to him. But I might not be, those tests aren't always one-hundred percent accurate." Roxanne stated.
"But still..." Lucy started to say.
Roxanne cut her off. "I know, I know. Talk to him."
"Yep." Lucy said in response.
Roxanne hugged Lucy. "Thanks Luce, you're a great friend."
Lucy gladly returned the hug. "So are you, Roxie."
They headed back into restaurant.
(-----)
-C-A-L-L-I-N-G now
I'm calling you
Calling you know
C-A-L-L-I-N-G now
I'm calling you
Calling you now- (Calling You, Aqua)
Lucy and Roxanne went back to their table. Lucy sat back down. As for Roxanne, she tapped on Chandler's shoulder. He turned around and looked at her.
"I need to talk to you." Roxanne said to him.
"Sure, why don't we go outside?" Chandler suggested.
"Ok." Roxanne agreed. The two headed outside to the garden...
