A/N: Sorry for not updating in a few days...I haven't really felt like it. Also, this chapter takes place right after chapter 5 ended, so I won't put any dates or town locations in it.
Dark Katsumi: Sorry the last chapter was so short, but I'm glad you thought it was good.
Breakthefloor22: Sorry, I know the last chapter was total carp. I'm putting a lot of effort into this one. Now, if only I could get my dad to turn his darn stereo off, I can't think!
jenna-lynn: No...I don't believe that Roxanne is a slut. I actually like Roxanne a lot, I think she's a sweet person and really cares about others. She's like my favorite 7th Heaven character (besides Chandler, Matt, Sarah, Lucy, Kevin, Ruthie, Peter, Jeffery, Mary, Wilson, Simon, Cecilia, and Robbie). The actress who plays her also played characters on two of my other favorite TV shows (she played Cher Horrowitz on "Clueless" and Kristen on "Are You Afraid Of The Dark" incase anyone wants to know), so I'm a huge fan of Rachel Blanchard (better known as Roxanne, Cher, of Kristen). I'm also about the biggest Chandler/Roxanne shipper/fan on the face of the earth; they wouldn't exist without Roxanne. I'm also very pissed that she got ripped off the show this season (I haven't watched a new episode in two weeks, the show is really boring without Roxanne, Chandler, Peter, Jeffery, or Cecilia). I only ever write about Roxanne. And I know she isn't the type to date someone just to sleep with him. And, not to be rude, but if you reread chapter 2, it says that Courtney Lane, the snobbiest girl in the church in my story, called her a slut, I didn't state so in the story. Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to state that I am a huge Roxanne fan. Also, if you're the same other jenna-lynn who sent me two other reviews, thanks so much! Cats rule! Me, I love my little Georgie to death! Sorry, once again too much soda. Also, sorry if I sounded rude in the upper part, I didn't mean to. I was just answering your question.
junior1985: The baby's name is already picked. I'm guessing you didn't read "Changes Are A Looming" or "Thirteen Years Into The Future", it said that the baby would either be named Tuesday Daniel or Leanne Emma. And I made the baby a girl, so her full name is Leanne Emma Hampton.
Disclaimer: The TV show 7th Heaven is not my property. I also don't own the song "Margaritaville", that belongs to Jimmy Buffett.
Summary: Roxanne learns the real results to her pregnancy test.
Chapter 6: The Rain In July
God, I'm not going to have any fingernails left by the time this stupid test is over with. Roxanne thought, biting out a huge chunk of her fingernail. She didn't mean to, it was a nervous habit.
Roxanne was having a nervous breakdown. She was sweating like crazy everywhere, her whole body was shaking, and she was chewing up every bit of fingernails. Please let the test I took be wrong. Roxanne was pleading that in her thoughts. She didn't want to be pregnant, not now at least. Sure, she loved Chandler and would love more than anything to have his kids, but not just now. Her and Chandler were not ready for a baby.
Lucy came up behind Roxanne. The two of them were out in the parking lot of Pete's Pizza, heading towards Roxanne's car. Lucy was walking behind Roxanne and had caught up with her finally. Lucy tapped on Roxanne's shoulder.
Roxanne practically jumped out of her skin. She turned around and looked at Lucy, breathing heavily, "gosh Luce, don't do that anymore, you scared the living crap out of me, and I'm already in the middle of a nervous breakdown."
"Roxie..." Lucy slowly started. "Why don't I drive us to the hospital?"
"I can handle it, why do you ask?" Roxanne replied.
"Because, you're kind of...well...a nervous wreck today," Lucy said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. And knowing my luck, I'll end up killing the both of us in some fiery car crash. You can drive, Luce," Roxanne pulled her car keys out of her purse and tossed them to Lucy.

As she and Lucy made their way to the hospital, Roxanne decided to turn on her car radio. As soon as she did, Jimmy Buffett's song "Margaritaville" blared through the speakers. It was one of Roxanne's favorite songs, so she started singing along.
"Wasted time again in Margaritaville, searching for my lost shaker of salt, some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I know it's nobody's fault..." Roxanne sang the words in a loud voice, trying to drown out her pregnancy induced I'm-going-to-breakdown thoughts.
"You like this song?" Lucy asked, trying to strike up conversation
"Yeah, it's an old favorite of mine. Plus, it's the first song Chandler and I ever danced together to," Roxanne replied.
"Aww, that's sweet," Was all Lucy said, knowing that Roxanne probably not in the mood to talk right now.

Roxanne and Lucy sat in the waiting room of The Glen Oak Community Hospital. Lucy was flipping through a copy of ym magazine. Roxanne on the other hand just sat there, regretting her past choices...
-
Chandler and Roxanne sat out on the beach together, awaiting the setting of the sun. The couple had promised themselves that they'd watch the sunset together earlier that day with each other. They both found it incredibly romantic. Just the two of them sitting out on a blanket on the beach, holding hands, looking into each others eyes, waiting for the sun to set. It seemed all too perfect.
Chandler turned to Roxanne and stroked her long blonde hair softly, "you know, I was just thinking that one day, fifty years from now, that'll I'll be watching this same exact sunset with you."
"Are you sure about that?" Roxanne asked.
"What do you mean?" Chandler replied, taken back.
"Well, it's not set in stone that we're going to get married," Roxanne told him sadly.
"But, I love you Roxanne, and I know we're going to get married," Chandler said.
"I love you too, Chandler," Roxanne replied.
"You're the only woman I ever want to be with again," Chandler pulled her closer to him.
"And you're the only man I ever want to be with again," Roxanne replied, gazing into Chandler's eyes.
"How about kiss again?" Chandler asked.
"Yeah, that too," Roxanne felt her head move closer towards his. Their lips soon enough made contact. The two fell onto the beach blanket, rolling around like crazy, and kissing like there was no tomorrow...
-
I'm such an idiot! Roxanne screamed angrily to herself in her head. Another flashback soon popped into her mind...
-
Roxanne felt her pulse rise as Chandler kissed her with more force. He was on top of her. They somehow were now making out on his bed. How did we get here? Roxanne kept asking herself. She knew this wasn't right. She shouldn't be doing this. She shouldn't be having sex with Chandler. They should be out on the beach still. They should be anywhere but here. But it was too late to turn back...they were already there. Roxanne pushed all of those haunting thoughts into the back of her head and kissed Chandler back with the same force. Roxanne felt like screaming out loud when Chandler's hand slid up the back of her shirt. She started shaking.
Chandler stopped when he noticed that Roxanne was shaking, "should we do this?"
Roxanne wanted to say "Are you crazy?! We should be waiting until we're married!", but she instead replied with, "no, it's ok, I'm just nervous. You know, first time and all. Go on..."
His hand slid up to Roxanne's bra clasp. Roxanne felt it unsnap. She sighed deeply as her hand reached for the buckle of his belt. This was so wrong...
-
Roxanne then thought about how badly that night had ended...
-
"How could we?! How stupid are we, Chandler, tell me?!" Roxanne screamed as she jumped out of the bed, clutching the sheet that she had around herself even tighter.
"We're idiots," Was all Chandler said as he pulled on his pants and looked around the room for the rest of his clothes.
"God, I can't believe we actually...that we...well, you know," Roxanne stammered, picking her clothing, that was scattered all over the floor, up.
"Do I," Chandler replied, but then changed the subject. "We should really talk about what just happened."
"No. Not now, not ever," Roxanne snapped, exiting the room. Chandler followed closely behind her...
-
I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an...Roxanne was cut off from her train of thoughts when Hank walked into the room.
"Lucy," Hank greeted.
"Hey Uncle Hank," Lucy replied. Her and Roxanne walked over by him.
"You remember Roxanne, right?" Lucy asked Hank.
"Yeah, of course, you helped me out with my car the night before Lucy and Kevin's wedding," Hank replied.
"Yeah," was all Roxanne could say in reply.
"Now, Lucy," Hank said, switching back to 'doctor mode'. "You said that you needed something important over the phone, am I right?"
"Yes Uncle Hank, if it's not too hard, I need a pregnancy test done right now if it's possible," Lucy nearly choked out those words.
"Well, ok Lucy. I'm not busy now, so you can get the test done right now," Hank replied.
Lucy quickly shook her head, "no Uncle Hank. It's not for me, it's for..."
"It's for...me," Roxanne finished off.
"Ok, no problem. If you two can please follow me to my office, we can get this test done," Hank walked towards his office, with Lucy and Roxanne following closely behind.

Lucy and Roxanne sat in Hank's office. They both were waiting for the results of Roxanne's pregnancy test. Hank entered the office, holing the results.
"Now Roxanne..." Hank started. "You told me that you took a home test that come out positive?"
"Yes," Roxanne replied.
"And you also have told me all the possible pregnancy symptoms you've been experiencing: late or missed period, nausea, feeling tired, weight gain, carvings for weird foods, and tender or enlarged breasts?" Hank asked.
"Also yes," Roxanne answered.
Well, as you can see, I've got the results. And Roxanne, you are two, almost three, months pregnant. Your date of conception was somewhere in early or mid September. And your due date is somewhere in May," Hank said.
Roxanne felt tears plunge into her eyes. She began crying out waterfalls worth of tears. She hadn't cried this much since July of 1993, when she found out that her mother, Leanne, had been killed. She had called those tears 'the rain in July', because they were so heavy. Well, the rain in July had come back to haunt her.
"Oh God, Luce, I can't be pregnant...I just can't," Roxanne collapsed into Lucy's arms.
Lucy hugged Roxanne tightly, "don't cry, Roxanne. Everything will be fine." Sure, Lucy said that everything will be fine...but did she really mean it? Hell no I don't...but I have to say something to keep Roxanne's spirits high.
End Of Chapter 6
