Wayretro - Hey, thanks. I posted this because I had nothing better to do.

Chapter 6

"Jess, honey, are you okay?" My mom asked me. I was in the bathroom throwing up. There was no flu or any virus going around, so why the hell was I puking my brains out?

"Yeah, mom, I'm fine. I guess I have a virus or something." I said back to her. For some reason I just thought about what Rob and I did that night. Man, it was amazing, but if my parents ever found out, they'd kill me. I guess you've figured out what we did; the huge step in a relationship, the deed. Yeah, we did it. It was all pent up emotion that caused it. We weren't really leaning toward that, but it just happened.

Yeah, so here I am barfing away, when a thought comes into my head. Morning sickness. Oh, no. It couldn't be, could it? I mean we did it but we used protection; both me and him. So, what the hell!

Then, I remember back to health class: "If you children should feel it is necessary to have sex, use protection; but remember: abstinence is the only 100 guarantee of no STDs or unwanted pregnancies." SHIT! It can't be. I just have a virus, that's all, just a stupid virus.

"Honey, would you like me to go to the store and pick up some stuff for you?" Yeah like a pregnancy test? Fuck that.

"Sure mom thanks." Then I heard her walk away and the front door slam and then the car start and pull out of the driveway.

Okay, I've been in sticky situations before, but this is by far the worst

Morning sickness.

"Mommy, mommy wake up," I heard Kia saying to me. I opened my eyes and saw that she was jumping on the bed. Then, I heard the ring of my cell and groaned. Don't they ever leave me alone?

I got out of the bed and answered the phone.

"Jessica, there is a situation here and we need you here as quickly as you can get." I heard Krantz yell into the phone. I heard chaos on the other end also.

"Dr. K? What the hell is going on?" I heard a scream and then a crash.

"Jess, please just come to Crane as soon as possible." Then he hung up. Great, what the hell am I gonna do? Should I bring Kia, or find someone to take care of her? If Crane is chaotic as it sounds, maybe I should find someone to baby-sit; fast too.

I thought of who I could call. Not many, since no one really knows that I exist anymore.

Rob?

No.

Mom?

No.

Ruth?

No.

Wait, yes, Ruth.

I went over to my bag and pulled out my address book. Before I left, Ruth had given me her new cell number. I hoped she still had it.

I found the number and dialed it. Someone picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?" It was a male voice. Okay…

"Um, yeah, is Ruth there?" I asked in, what I thought was, a sweet voice.

"Uh yeah, hold on…wait, who's this?" He seemed to be breathing a little heavy. God, I hope I wasn't interrupting anything.

"Um, Jess." I heard whispers in the background and then Ruth immediately came on.

"JESS! Jess, is that really you!" She screamed right in my ear.

"Yeah, Ruth, calm down, I need a favor."

"Anything."

"Well, I'm in town and something has come up and I need a HUGE favor. Where are you now?"

"I'm in my apartment on Pine Crest Road. It's the big apartment building there; number 212. Why?" She inquired.

"I'll try and explain when I get there. Um, I realize I may have interrupted something and I'm deeply sorry, but this is a serious emergency. Can you two be dressed when I get there?"

I could almost see her blush. She laughed a little nervously before replying, "Yeah, sure."

"Okay, see ya in a few."

212's door flew open to reveal a pretty thin Ruth. Wow, she lost a LOT of weight.

"Wow, you look great Ruth."

"You don't look too bad yourself." Then, noticing my company – Kia, Chigger, and the kitten – she gasped.

"Yeah, like I said earlier, I'm really sorry about this, but, well, there is a situation down at Crane and I need to be there ASAP." She looked at me like I was crazy.

"Crane! What the hell are you going there for?" Oh, right, I hadn't told her I was an FBI agent. I fished my badge out of my pocket and showed it to her.

She gasped again and then looked at me with wide eyes. "You're actually working for them?" I rolled my eyes and repeated practically the same thing I said to Rob.

"Oh, well come in." I walked in and set Kia down on one of the couches in the living room.

When I set Kia down, Ruth gasped again. "Oh my god. She is so adorable!" She shrieked.

"Yeah, I know she is. Now what I need you to do is watch her and the animals. Take the dog for a walk and the kitten too to go pee and stuff and feedKia only what's in the bag."

She was just staring at Kia and Kia was staring back.

"Ruth, did you hear a word I just said?"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, she's just so cute and adorable."

"Yeah, you said that already."

"I know. But is she yours?" I looked at her as if she was a retard.

"Duh."

"Oh, my god. Jess," she said taking another look at her, "it wasn't him was it?"

I didn't answer. But apparently she took my non-answer as a yes. "Jess! Why didn't you tell me sooner!"

"I couldn't. I have to leave now. I'm sorry. I'll get together with you soon. Okay? Buh bye," I said heading towards the door and dropping the duffel bag full of snacks, "oh, and please, for the love of god, don't tell any of my family you saw me." And then I left.

Her boyfriend looked oddly familiar, but I just couldn't place him. Well, whatever.

Okay, I did my part now all you have to do is review.

I'll try and post chapter 7 by tomorrow if I'm not busy.
