Just To Let You Know: I own nothing at all.
"Mommy, daddy, wake up." Maria said jumping up and down on the bed.
"Maria, if you don't get off of this bed...I swear..." Paul yelled putting a pillow over his head.
"What time is it?" Stephanie asked getting up.
"I don't know but Alyssa woke me and Gregory up and made us get dressed and we had cereal and milk." Maria said still jumping around. Paul pulled her down and she screamed as loud as she could.
"Maria, shut up." He said tickling her.
"Daddy, let go!" Maria giggled.
"Paul, don't wrinkle her clothes." Steph told him. "Get off of my bed." Stephanie picked her up and put her the other side of the door and closed it. "Go somewhere and bother somebody." Stephanie said to her daughter. "She is sucking up."
"I know." Paul agreed as he sat up.
"You bring Maria and Gregory to school and I'll bring Ally." Stephanie suggested.
"Fine." He said following her to the bathroom. They both started brushing their teeth.
"You think she's pregnant? I mean she's a baby." Stephanie asked.
"We had Kris when we were young." Paul said looking in the mirror.
"I know, somehow I was there." Steph chuckled at her sarcasm.
"That was the joy of it." Paul laughed while he wiped his face.
"Yeah, I know that, too." Stephanie said kissing him feverishly.
"You haven't kissed me like that in a while, it makes me wanna throw you across our bed." He laughed.
"It comes naturally." She smirked. "OK, we need to become very angry parents."
"Just think about it and that too, will come naturally." Paul told her.
"Alyssa!" Stephanie yelled, she walked in with a smile on her face.
"Mommy I got everyone up, dressed and fed, so can I go on a date?" Alyssa questioned.
"Never." Paul said walking pass them.
"But daddy." Alyssa watched him leave.
"Ally, I found a pregnancy test in your room on your sink. Are you pregnant?" Stephanie asked bluntly without hesitation. Ally chuckled before answering.
"No, at least I don't think so." Alyssa laughed, looking at her mother. She had a frown, one of the angriest she's seen in a while. "It was a joke."
"It better be." Stephanie warned.
"It is, it is." Alyssa sat on her mom's bed.
"Well, then, whose is it?" Stephanie asked.
"I, uh...well I can't say." Alyssa said. "I gotta go before daddy leaves me." She stood up.
"Sit, Elizabeth, you an tell me if it's yours."
"Ma, I just told you that it wasn't mines. Hello?" Alyssa said using her hands to wave in Stephanie's face.
"Tell me who it belongs to." Stephanie said putting an ounce of authority in her voice.
"Okay, okay. It belongs to my friend, uh, Marie." Ally said, it was kind of the truth, sort of a lie. Who came to Stephanie's mind was Chelsea Marie, Eric's daughter. Marie was the first name that came to Alyssa's mind, it wasn't her fault every other person around her has a name like Marie.
"Oh, okay. Go and wait for me to get dress." Stephanie said as Alyssa left. Stephanie got dressed and drove her daughter to school; it was a really silent ride. When Stephanie pulled up to the school, she looked at her daughter. "Daddy will come and get you. And we're not finished talking just yet."
"I need a note." Alyssa said giving Stephanie a piece of notebook paper. Steph wrote a quick note and Alyssa gave her a kiss on the cheek and ran into school. Not because she couldn't wait to get to class. (Get real) She had to get to the bathroom so she could warn Marie. Stephanie decided she had to tell Trish so she could speak to Chelsea Marie. Stephanie got out of her car and knocked on the door, she was starting to feel as if she was coming too often.
"Hey, Eric, I didn't have your number so that's why I didn't call." Stephanie explained as he opened the door wide so she could enter. As soon as she entered she remembered what he had asked her over the phone. "Um, is Trish home?"
"No but she'll be home in a minute." He said motioning for her to follow him into the kitchen. "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Stephanie chuckled.
"Would you like something to drink?" Eric asked.
"No thanks." Stephanie answered with a small smile. "Where exactly is Trish?"
"She went to the doctor to make sure the baby was okay." Eric answered as she sat down.
"Is Brittany alright?" Stephanie asked with concern in her voice.
"She's just fine and I meant the baby, we're expecting." Eric smiled.
"Oh, congrats." Stephanie grinned now knowing the blonde was out of her hair.
"Thanks, the baby is why we tried to work things out." Eric informed.
"Way too much info." Steph put her hand up to stop him from speaking. She looked around the kitchen as she crossed her legs.
"Nice legs." Eric smiled.
"Uh, thanks." Stephanie said putting them under the table. "When is she coming home?"
"Soon." Eric answered.
"Um, I think I should go." Stephanie stood up and straitened her skirt noting herself not to wear skirts around this guy. "Tell Trish to call me."
"Does she have your number?" Eric asked.
"No…but you do." Stephanie reminded him. "But here, just in case you lost it." Stephanie gave him a business card and wondered if she was flirting with him or not. "I'll see myself out." She left.
"Okay." He chuckled putting the card in his pocket never intending on giving Trish Stephanie's number.
"Eric, I'm home." Trish yelled coming into the kitchen.
"Hey." He kissed her forehead. "So, how's the baby?"
"Fine." She answered; you could barely tell she was pregnant.
"That's good news." He said wrapping his arms around her.
"Yeah, I could have sworn I saw Stephanie's car; was she here?" Trish inquired.
"No." He said quickly.
"Are you lying to me?" Trish questioned raising her eyebrow.
"Now, baby, would I ever lie to you?" Eric asked.
"No, you wouldn't." Trish said. 'Although I'd hate to think about it', she thought.
