Chapter 9: You Skipped WHAT!

I absolutely detest this house. Stupid Socs, can't even give me 40 damn bucks to clean their house, and when we all put our money together at the end of the month, we only have 250. Barely enough to live on or pay the bills.

We have three things in out fridge; a gallon of milk, a wedge of cheddar cheese, and a can of mustard. I seriously don't know how we're still alive. I do occasionally "borrow" food from the Sheldon's kitchen.

Two-Bit's mom, Karen, usually gives Sage left overs. She's so sweet. I love her to death. Amanda and Belle have to steal a liter of Pepsi every now and again.

I snuck into the Sheldon's marbleized kitchen. I opened their refrigerator quietly and looked at all the yummy foods. There really is a fabulous selection. I looked in their cabinets and grabbed a bag of potato chips and some sour cream and onion dip. I grabbed the 20 dollars they leave for me on the table and then went into my car. I don't know how they never realize they have food missing. But with two teenagers you never really know.

"I brought snacks!" I yelled as I walked into the house and plopped the chips and dip onto the counter.

"Ooo!" Belle and Amanda came running into the kitchen and started fighting over the bag.

I slapped the back of their heads, causing them to bump heads and then laughed. The bag fell out of their hands and I caught it. I pulled out four paper dishes and poured in some chips and then opened the dip container.

"Where's Sage?" I asked dipping my potato chip.

"In bed, she says she doesn't feel good. She's been throwing up alllll morning, and said she has headache's. I think it's a hangover," Belle pointed to her and Sage's bedroom and then stuffed a handful of chips in her mouth.

"Pig," Amanda called Belle, with a mouthful of chips in her mouth.

I grabbed Sage's plate and went into her room.

"Hey Sagey, you feel okay?" I asked, but she was on the phone. I sat at the edge of her bed and hanged her the plate of chips.

"I gotta go, I'll call you later," she said into the receiver and then hung the phone up.

"Who was that?"

"Johnny," she replied quietly. She seemed different, she looked scared. Almost as scared as Johnny usually has.

"Oh."

"Stephie, you know me and Johnny are dating, right?" she asked sitting up a bit.

"Yeah.." I started wondering where this was going.

"Well...we uhm...we got a little carried away the other day...and uhm...well...I skipped my period," she fiddled with her thumbs, and you can tell she was having a hard time saying the words.

My mouth dropped open about a million feet. "Sage, you mean you could be..."

"Pregnant." she finished my sentence.

I was in pure shock. Sure I expect this from Amanda, or Belle, but from Sage? Innocent, normal Sage? No way.

"Did you tell Johnny?" was the only thing that I could get out of my mouth.

She shook her head, and I saw she was starting to cry. "I couldn't..I just couldn't...he can't support a baby, and neither can I! Steph I messed up big time, and I don't what to do! I'm scared."

I held her and rubbed her back. "Well we don't know for sure Sage. You should take a test, and then maybe go see a doctor. I mean maybe your not. I skip my period plenty of times, and I am definitely a virgin."

"I guess," she sniffled and wiped her nose. "Can you tell Belle and Manda for me?"

"Sure thing." I stood up and went outside, gently shutting the door behind me.

"Guys, we have a little problem.."

"What?" they asked at the same time.

"Sage thinks she's pg."

"What?" Again they asked in unison, but were more shocked this time.

"It seems her and Johnny went all the way, and she skipped her monthly bill."

"Shit!" Amanda yelled.

"We don't have enough money for ourselves, how the hell are we gonna help raise this kid? Cause you know Johnny ain't got no job. Who the hell knows if he'll stay with her?" Amanda continued.

"Johnny's a good kid. And I think he really loves Sage. I was talking to him the other night, and he was saying that he'd be happy if we got a record deal, but at the same time torn apart if Sage leaves him. Said he never felt this way about nobody in his life. I don't think he'll leave her," Belle reasoned.

"We gotta work extra hard now. We have to get a record deal," I told them.

Amanda sighed, "I just don't like this happening to Sage. I mean I wouldn't care so much if it was Belle, or me. But not Sage."

"I know, but what are we gonna do? We can't do nothing else, but support her."

"Your right Steph."

"I know I am," I smiled trying to make light of the situation.

SAGE'S POV

I had to tell Johnny. I had to tell Johnny now. But I can't. I know he won't leave me, he's not like that. Now if I was dealing with Dallas, and maybe those Shepard kids I'd say yeah, sure, they're leaving. But not Johnny. But how will he take it?

A thousand thoughts flew in and out of my head. I decided to be positive I was pregnant before telling him. Hopefully the girls won't say anything. I picked up the phone and called the doctor.

"I need an appointment with Dr. Peters. Sage Porter. Thank you" I hung up and got out of bed. I pulled on a pair of sweat pants and a sweat shirt and walked outside. Belle and Amanda just stared at me, then ran over and hugged me.

"I'm going to kill you, I really am," Amanda threatened while clutching me tightly.

"Oh I feel safe now," I laughed slightly.

"Did ya tell Johnnycakes?" Belle asked.

"Not yet, I wanta be positive. But can one of ya'll come with me to the doctor?"

"We will!" Amanda and Belle

I looked at Stephie.

"I gotta stay here. Dal's coming over, and someone's gotta make dinner. But tell me everything okay?"

I hugged her and then left with Amanda and Belle.

STEPHANIE'S POV

I opened the fridge and took out the left over Mac and Cheese Ms. Mathews gave us. I stuck it in the microwave and let if heat up. There was a knock on the door, which I was sure was Dally. I walked..quickly, over to the door, fixed my hair and opened it.

"Hey sweetheart," he kissed me tenderly then walked in.

"I was just heating up some mac n cheese. What some?"

"Nah I just ate at the Curtis's," he plopped down on the couch then stood up a bit to look at what he was sitting on. He pulled up one of Amanda's tampons that she likes to throw around.

"That's Amanda's," I took it from his hands quickly and threw it into the bathroom.

"Where are the girls? Did ya kick 'em out for me?" he asked grabbing my waist and pulling me down on top of him so I was now sitting on him.

"They went to the doctor with Sage," I said and then realized that I probably shouldn't have. I'm usually really good at keeping secrets.

"Why?" he started kissing my neck, which made me giggle.

"Don't tell anyone but she giggle thinks she might be giggle pregnant."

"What? With who's kid?" he stopped kissing me. Damn I thought.

"Johnny's.." I trailed off a bit.

"Johnny? As in Johnny Cade Johnny?"

"Yes that Johnny. What other Johnny would I be talking about?"

"I don't know. Does he know?"

"Not yet, she want's to make sure she is before telling him. Don't you say a damn thing about it Dallas Winston!" I looked at him sternly.

"I promise..."

I didn't know if I should believe him or not, but I knew Sage was gonna kill me if she found out I told him.


Should Sage be pregnant? Or just a false alarm? Tell me what you think. I love you all. I'll probably update ETHAR (Every Thorn Has A Rose) tonight. Love ya!
