Just thought I'd give all of you a heads up- I'm NOT taking lyrics out of my stories, that's just stupid. So if, or more likely when, my account is closed, you'll still be able to find my work on my site. Now, without further adieu, here is 'No Rain'.

"Would you please stop pacing?"

"I can't!"

"Well, try. You're making me nervous."

"How much longer?" Squib sighed and turned to face his wife of three years.

"Thirty seconds," Cody said after she had checked her watch.

"Can't we just check now?" Squib asked.

"No, Squib. Thirty more seconds."

"It's going to be negative."

"Don't say that!" Cody shrieked at him.

"It's been negative for the past three months!"

"So? This time it'll be positive," Cody reasoned.

Squib sighed, "Cody…"

"I don't want to here it, Squib. Unless it's 'what are we going to name it?' Actually, scratch that. I'm not in the mood for that debate again," Cody told him.

"I can't help it," he said, moving to sit by her on the bed, "every time we try this, you get your hopes up and then you're crushed. I hate seeing you like that."

"I know," she said, "but one of these times it will be positive; I know it." Squib sighed and looked down at his watch.

"Can we check now?"

"Yes," Cody said, getting up. Squib stood also, but made no attempt to move from his place by the bed. Slowly, Cody picked up the small white stick and glanced at it. She was silent for what felt like hours and Squib was about to yell at her to say something, when she slowly spoke.

"It's…positive," she said, almost as if she believed she was reading it wrong.

"Are you sure?" Squib asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," Cody spoke again, a smile now making its way across her face. Squib grinned and was about to speak when Cody let out an almost unnaturally high pitched squeal, dropped the pregnancy test, and launched herself into his arms. He was thrown off balance by her sudden outburst and ended up falling back onto the bed.

"We're gonna have a baby," Cody giggled as she propped herself up to rest on her elbows that, in turn, rested on his chest.

"Yeah," Squib smiled and tucked a strand of orange hair behind his wife's ear, "we are."

"So," Adena said, "are you showing yet?"

"Adena," Cody giggled into the phone, "I'm only a month and a half along!"

"Well, call me when you get fat!"

"You'll be the first to know," Cody laughed.

"Do you have morning sickness?"

"Unfortunately. But it's not too bad…"

"You're so lucky," Adena sighed, "you get a baby!"

"You will too, one day," Cody assured her.

"Yeah right," Adena said, "You have a husband and a baby on the way. I have a boyfriend who's so afraid of commitment he won't even leave a toothbrush at my house."

"I'm guessing no progress had been made on the Michael front?"

"None."

Cody glanced at her watch, "Hey, I gotta go. I've got a doctor's appointment."

"Where's Squib?"

"Meeting me there."

"Cool. Call me later; tell me everything! Mail me a sonogram!"

"Will do," Cody laughed. The two friends said goodbye.

"I'm fat!" Cody exclaimed, staring at herself in the mirror.

"You are not fat," Squib said, chuckling lightly.

"Yes, I am! I am a horrible, ugly, fat, fat woman!"

"Cody, you are only four months along! You're barely showing!"

"Can you not see the bulge?" Cody yelled, finally turning away from the mirror.

"Cody," Squib said, standing up from his place on the bed and walking over to her. He encircled her waist with his arms, "you are not fat. You are pregnant and that is a very beautiful thing."

Cody smiled slightly, "Fine. But I will be fat! Maybe not right now, but in a few more months! And then you won't even want to look at me!"

"Trust me," Squib said, "I will still love you even when you're as big as a whale."

"How'd the checkup go?" Tannis asked.

"Good," Cody said into the phone, "everything's fine."

"Three more months!" Tannis squealed.

"If everything goes according to plan."

"You guys have to come visit us!" Tannis exclaimed.

"Once everything has settled, we'll be on our way."

"Picked any names yet?"

"Oh gosh," Cody sighed, "don't even start!"

"I'm guessing no?"

"We can't agree on anything!" Cody exclaimed.

"Well, you could always name it Tannis Jr…"

"Nice try."

"Allan?"

"No."

"Jake?"

"No."

"Squib?"

"You wish."

"Fine," Squib sighed, "you think of something!"

Cody rolled over to face him, "Why don't we move on to girls names for now?"

"Okay…Alexandra?"

"No."

"Elizabeth?"

"No."

"Katie?"

"No."

"Cody!"

"Oh, I like that one," Cody giggled.

"That wasn't a suggestion, that was a cry of frustration!"

"Oh, calm down Squibey."

"We only have two months until the baby is due," Squib said.

"Okay…Molly?"

"Oh…I like Molly!"

"Are you just saying that to agree with the pregnant lady?"

"No, I like Molly."

"Okay, so if it's a girl, Molly Meghan Furlong."

"Molly Meghan….sounds kind of like a comic book character…"

"Squib! Please don't make me choose another name! Molly Meghan is fine. It's cute."

"Okay," Squib mock sighed as he smiled at his wife, "Molly Meghan it is."

"Okay. And for a boy?"

"Jonathan?"

"Maybe…"

"How about…Cole?"

"Oh! I like Cole!"

"Okay. So it's either going to be Molly Meghan or Cole Sebastien."

"Sounds good."

"Can I please go to sleep now?" Squib asked.

"Fine," Cody giggled, kissing him goodnight.

"Hello?" Squib picked up his cell phone as he drove towards home. On the other end he heard a frantic Adena, who had flown in to be Cody's midwife.

"Squib! Water! Broke! Birth! Now!"

"Adena! Calm down! And use full sentences!"

"Cody's water broke. I have her stuff. We're at the hospital. Come now! Before the baby's born!"

"She's giving birth right now?"

"Well….no. But soon! Maybe…Just come!"

"I'm on my way," Squib said, snapping his phone shut.

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane

I just want some one to say to me, oh oh oh oh
I'll always be there when you wake
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape...escape...escape...

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
you don't like my point of view
you think I'm insane
Its not sane...it's not sane.

I just want some one to say to me, oh oh oh oh
I'll always be there when you wake
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
and I'll have it made, and I'll have it made, and I'll have it made...

-Blind Melon 'No Rain'

Okay, I admit. The song choice was not really about it relating to the chapter. I mostly chose it because I thought it'd be a nice title for my story. Read, review, enjoy!
