A/N: Hey there.. Its me again lol I just want to thank you all for reviewing. You keep me going 3 Heres the next chapter..this ones kinda long .. I hope the content is worth the length.

I replay her words in my head over and over and over again. Pregnant. Was I dreaming? Maybe I just didn't hear her right… Pregnant. Even after she showed me the pregnancy tests she took, both reading positive, I still just couldn't quite get it. Pregnant. Pregnant? I never really though this day would come. I mean, yeah.. sure, I'd be a father… someday.. but.. not now… and maybe I'm being selfish.. I just got Tori all to myself.. just me and her, together, finally.. and honestly, I'd like to keep it that way for a while.

It's funny how, something can happen in your life so fucked, that you swear it can't get any worse.. That's until something even more insane pops up. I know, it sounds like the news of Tori being pregnant with my child, is like, just about the worst possible thing that can ever happen. That's not it at all. I'm just… so confused… suddenly, the problems right in front of me, took a few steps back…

After Tori had calmed down. Stopped yelling. Stopped crying. After the both of us held each other, hysterical. After the apologies. The 'baby, I love you's'. after all that, was when the reality really started to set in. we were in a predicament worse than we thought we were in. Bigger than Euyi. Bigger than Blake's insanity. Bigger than all of that.

Me and Tori lay facing each other on the bed. Knowing now that there is a life growing inside of her, I'm almost afraid to touch her.

"What are you thinking?" Tori softly spoke.

"Too much." I answer, staring hard at the blue sheets that cover our bed.

"Me too.." She sighed, placing her hand on her stomach,"I wasn't gonna tell you."

"What?" I look at her, confused. She wasn't gonna tell me?

"I don't know.. this is all too much… I don't know, Dustin. I just.. don't think we're ready for this at all.." Tori blurts.

"You're right.. but, why wouldn't you tell me?" I ask, feeling hurt.

Tori pauses. She seems to think of what to say. How to say it. She finally speaks,"I was going to abort it… and…. Just not tell you. I think that's still an option right now."

I feel my heart sink. A lump in the back of my throat. Abort it? Not tell me? That is so wrong! Doing something like that would be the same as packing up and moving to Japan. It almost made me feel like she was saying that she just didn't want to have a baby with me at all. And that doesn't feel too good….

"I can't believe that just came out of your mouth!" I blurt, still shocked at her crude intentions.

Tori looks away, ashamed, "I don't know what else to do.. I'm too young for this! Way too young! What am I gonna do? I can't afford to take care of a baby! I can't afford the prenatal care! The hospital…. What am I gonna tell my parents? My family will look down on me! We're not married! What will I do?" tears build up in her beautiful blue eyes.

"Tori.. you are not alone in this.. we are in this together.. I'm gonna help you through this." I lovingly place my hand on hers.

"I know, Dustin.. but you just don't understand!" Tori cries.

"How do I not understand? What are you talking about?" I just don't get it…

"You don't have to go through this shit, ok! I do! You don't have to fucking, vomit all damn day! Feel like shit! Have mood swings! Push a person out of you for God's sake! I do!" she grows more upset, sitting up on the bed.

I sit up and move closer to her, "Tori.." I sigh , "Do you think that I'm ready to be a father? Do you think I'm ready for any of this? Do you honestly think that seeing you in pain.. seeing you hurt… isn't going to kill me? It's killing me already.." I pause, "Dude… I know that I'm a goof.. and an idiot… I'm not good at math.. I know, that was pretty random.. but, what I'm trying to say is that, even though we're not ready to have a baby.. at all… I know we can get through this.. we can get through anything because we love each other. So much." My eyes tear along with Tori's.

She sighs. She looks at me through watery eyes and shakes her head, "did you cheat on me, Dustin?" a tear falls violently down her cheek.

"No." all I can say is no. I speak to her, staring right into her eyes.

"Then why is this happening? Why? Why wouldn't you just be real with me? Why, Dustin? Why make it so much more harder for me to believe you?" Tori's face reads of confusion, hurt and disgust.

I grab both of her shakey hands in mine, "Tori.. listen to me… Blake is trying to break us up.. I'm telling you, baby.. please…. I just wanted to get rid of her.. period… I didn't want this to happen this way. You gotta believe me.. I love you.. you are my reason for living.. please.. trust me, Tori.. please."

"You know, the fact that I wanted to rip her pretty little head off the minute I met her, really doesn't help." Tori blurts, letting out a sarcastic giggle," and that was years ago.." She stares blankly at my chest with wide eyes. Her cheeks, wet with tears.

"Forget her. Please. Fuck everyone else! This is about me and you!" I say. Please Tori… don't do this….

"I swear to God that she makes me physically sick… physically fucking sick." She speaks to my chest and I wonder if she's even listening to me.

"I love you so much, Tori." I say as I wrap my arms around her.

"No.." She whispers, pulling away, "Just… give me some time.. just.. I need some time…"

"What are you talking about? Time? Time to do what?" I panic. What's going on? A tear escapes my eye. Me heart just crumbled inside of my chest.

" I need to think… I need to re-evaluate… I thought I finally had control over my life.." Tori blurts.

"Tori.. what are you saying?" I ask, afraid of the answer.

"I need to talk with Sensei tomorrow… I need his guidance and wisdom… I don't know what to do.." Tori shakes her head, wiping away stray tears. I attempt to hold her in my arms once more, and this time she lets me embrace her. But, she doesn't hug me back. At all.

"Tori.." I close my eyes, feeling my chest cave in. No emotion at all from the one I love. Cut off.

"Shane is at Vanessa's." She blurts, pulling away from me, "I think.. you should sleep in your room tonight."

I shoot a blank glare at her. She looks at me with the most hollow look I've ever seen. How can this be happening? I run my fingers through her soft blonde hair as I stand up to leave her be. I turn to her one last time before walking to my room, "I love you." I say.

She closes her eyes, letting out a painful sigh, "Goodnight." She mumbles.

My shoulders drop as I turn and walk towards my room, tears showing no mercy now. I stop, hesitating. I want to just beg her… beg her not to stop loving me.. beg her… tell her that I'll be a good father to our baby… that I only want to be with her… no one else..

Just then, I hear sobbing. Loud. Hysterical crying. Oh dude.. I'll never live with myself if I don't go back…

I rush back into Tori's room to see her curled up on the bed, gripping one of my pillows for dear life. She's crying hard. She looks up and notices me. She cries harder.

"Just go!" She painfully yells.

Hurt, I walk away. I'll leave her be. I'll let her get it out. Maybe she needs this. Maybe I really don't understand. Maybe she hates me for getting her pregnant. As I close the door to my room, I lean against the door. I can't stop myself from crying. I don't even try. I think we'll both cry ourselves to sleep tonight. I wish things could be different. It almost makes me feel like…. If Blake was never released, none of this would be happening.And I can't help but think that wherever Blake is… he's smiling about all of this…

Typically, I'd have woken up, showered, ate some kind of breakfast, messed around with my girlfriend, drove her to work, blah blah blah blah blah…..

But today it was different. First off, I woke up alone. Lonely in my own sad little room. But, the air felt different. Something was off. Not right at all. I felt like I had cameras on me. Watching me. Following my every move. And somewhere there was a room full of people watching me and laughing. Talking about what a fucking dick I am.

And instead of driving Tori to work, she insisted I let her borrow my car. She needed to be alone today. To breathe. To sort things out. She told me Sensei was expecting her. She's go to the forest. The waterfall. The secret entrance to the Wind Ninja Academy. When I asked her if I can be there with her, she totally said no. She had to talk with him alone. She has to tell him everything. So afraid of losing her, I didn't argue. Whatever she wanted. The car? Fine. I'd get to work. No problem. Not that I felt up to it anyway. Not after the heavy news recently dumped on me. But gotta pay rent. And now, keeping my job and saving money is even more crucial.

Here I am now, at work. I can't concentrate on anything in front of me. Bikes? All of a sudden I have no idea what the hell I'm doing…

"Dustin…"

Damn.. I wanna call her right now….But, no… no, I can't…

"Dustin.."

I wonder is she's still with Sensei… I wonder what she told him…

"Dustin! Hello?" Kelly waves a hand in front of my face, "are you in there?"

Snapping back to reality, I jump up, "Oh.. hey, Kel.."

"You'd tell me if something was up, wouldn't you?" Kelly asks, her hands to her hips.

I pause, "Oh… yeah.. yeah.. sure thing, Kel."

Kelly stares at me, skeptical. She raises her eyebrows.

"I'm just.. I dunno, Kel.." I lower my head into my hands. The bike that I'm supposed to be working on is laughing at me, I swear.

"This doesn't have anything to do with that girl, does it?" Kelly asks.

I let out a deep sigh, "I did not cheat on Tori!"

"Woah! I never said anything about you cheating on Tori!" Kelly snaps back. She glares at me.. hard. Almost like I just offended her.

"I'm sorry, Kel… I'm just buggin' out." I sigh.

"Dustin.." Kelly kneels in front of me, "What's going on?" She whispers.

I hesitate. Talking about this would be nice. A big help. Some weight off of my shoulders…. That, and it would be better than bashing my own head through a brick wall. Way better. But the thought of my brains scattered all over the place is putting a smile on my face…

"Kelly…" I speak, "I trust you with my life."

"Dustin…"

"Tori's pregnant."

"WHAT?" Kelly loses balance and falls to the floor.

"Woah.." I sigh as I help her up. She's staring at me like I just told her that the world is totally ending around us right now as we speak.. and by the way, yeah…. I'm the former Yellow Ranger… yeah, hi…

"What did you just fucking say?" I can't tell if this is good or bad.. I can't tell what the hell is going through her mind…

"She's pregnant, Kel.." I lower my head… I can't look at her.. I feel like I just dropped a bomb that killed thousands…

"Oh my God!" She yells.. She covers her mouth, as customers stare at her, "Oh my God.. " she whispers.. "Holy shit!"

"But you can't say anything.. ANYTHING.. you're the only one who knows.." I gently hold her hands in mine.

"Holy shit!" Kelly's face lights up. She jumps at me and hugs me tight, "How exciting is this?"

I crack a smile. Yeah.. wow… I guess it is pretty exciting…

What went down is still a blur to me. I mean, exactly what happened with Euyi showing up at the house and Blake randomly appearing out of nowhere, just seems too damn weird. Too much like a non-coinsidence. Its just way too convenient. All I know is that whatever went down must have scared Euyi back to hell because she hasn't shown up at my job like the stalker that she is. Which is great. But what the fuck? Where does Blake come in? how is he right there in the middle of this? Feeding shit in Tori's ear….

I felt so lazy, so I took a cab home. I'm exhausted, but I barely did any work at all today. I feel like my head got ran over by an 18- wheeler. It feels squashed. Painfully squashed against the hard concrete.

Here I am now, at home. Mine and Tori's home. In the hour that I've been here, I feel like I totally became one with the couch. Melted right into it and no one would notice. Lets hope no one would notice…

It's late.. no one's here. Shane is still at Vanessa's. as long as he stays off his feet, he'll be good. When I called him, he told me he had no idea where Tori was. He hadn't heard from her all day. I've been calling her cell phone all night. No answer.

Ring…

Ring…

Ring… voicemail.

I left insane, stupid messages for her to call me. I'm bugging out over here, nervous as all hell. Where is she? Oh.. I get it.. maybe she's getting me back for the shit I pulled last night. She's probably just sitting in the car, laughing… hating me.. killing time.. ignoring my calls.

Just as I get the energy to peel my sorry ass off of the couch, the doorknob turns. My heart jumps. Thank God…

I turn to see Tori appear from behind the door, closing it as she enters. Her hair is hanging in her face. Her eyes look drawn and swollen. She says nothing. She doesn't look up. She walks right by me into the kitchen and drops her keys on the counter.

"I was worried.." I blurt, following her into the kitchen, "I called you like a hundred times."

Tori opens the fridge and grabs a bottle of water. Saying nothing, she slams the door and walks out of the room. I stand there, hurt. Confused. She's still angry with me. It seems worse.

"I…. I really missed you all day today." Nervously speak, walking into the living room where she sits on the couch, taking her shoes off," I couldn't function, worrying about you. Hoping that you were ok."

Tori shakes her head, sarcastically grinning. She pushes her blonde hair from her face.I wait, standing at the doorway for her to say something. Anything.

"We really have to seriously talk, Tori." I suggest.

"Oh.. you wanna talk?" Tori barks. She sticks her hand in her jacket pocket, "here are your fucking keys!" she throws my car keys at me. I duck, and the keys crash against the wall.

"What was that?" I blurt, startled.

"You have nerve! You are incredible, you know that?" Sarcasm, thick in her voice," You tell me what that was! I mean, really… think about that for a second. Why on Earth, would I want to violently throw car keys at your head?"

I stand, puzzled. Unsure of myself. I didn't do anything, but I feel like the biggest shit to ever grace the Earth.

"What? Cat got your tongue? Or do you just feel as fucking stupid as you look right now?" Tori scolds.

I sigh, as the pain in my chest swells, "Tori.. what.." I feel a wall of tears forming behind my eyes, waiting to bust through.

Tori stands up and begins to walk towards her room. Our room. I don't even know anymore.

"I love you, so much, Tori." I speak the only words I know how.

Hearing my words, Tori stops in her tracks. She stands, facing away from me. She digs a hand into her pocket, "Here… I think these are yours!" She spins around and throws something at me. I catch it and stare at her, tears fall from her eyes, "You are a fucking asshole!" She screams, running into her room, slamming the door.

I look down at the object in my hand. Oh no….

The sound of Tori crying and screaming into her pillow fill the apartment, as I realize the soft pink panties I'm holding in my hand, are Euyi's. The ones she pulled off right before she got out of my car and caused a scene on the street. The ones that tell their own bullshit story that no matter what I'd say at this point, Tori would believe over me. Everything in my body sinks to my feet. My blood. My organs. My world. My life. I angrily grunt, bolting up and tossing the false evidence out of the window. I pace back and forth, my head pounding. I grab at my hair. I know that right now, anything I say to Tori, she wont want to hear. I know. And I know that everything that comes out of my mouth will sound like one big excuse. But I lover her too much to let this be the end. Let her scream. Let her swing. Let her tell me how much she hates me. I can't let this ruin us. I take a deep breath and open the door. Tori looks up at me, a mess. I've never seen her like this before. Never. Her face is red and swollen. Her eyes, puffy and bloodshot. Wet from tears. She shakes as she tries to hold back more tears.

"I know you don't want to hear what I have to say." I calmly speak.

"Go to hell." She whispers.

I sigh, "But if you just give me one chance. One last chance to explain this entire thing-"

"Explain? There's nothing left to explain! Just admit it! Do yourself the damn favor and stop lying to us both!" Tori scolds.

"I did not touch her. You have to believe me." I try to speak as calm and collected as I possibly can.

"Oh.. ok… random Victoria's secret panties in size XS… pink of all fucking colors…" the hurt in Tori's voice overshadows the anger, "I just wish you would've said something. Anything. God, if you wanted to fuck her, you shouldve just said something…"

"I didn't fuck her, Tori. She kissed me, I pulled away.. I told her to leave me alone. I told her I didn't want anyone but you.. I swear to you.. I swear on everything that means anything.." I pleade, sitting on the bed next to her, "She's conniving.. she's crazy.. she'd do anything in her power to fuck this up.. please.. don't let this happen.."

Tori glares at me. Her eyes look chapped and hurt. Filling with tears. "I don't want to believe it.." she confesses, "My heart hurts too much.."

"Tori.. please.. you have to trust me.. you know I would never do this to you." I plead.

"I don't know.." Tori mumbles, crying.

I kneel down in front of her and grab hold of her shakey hands, "I would NEVER… do this to you. You know me, Tori. ..look at me.."

Tori sighs, hesitating to look me in the eyes, "I can't.."

"Look at me.." I gently tilt her head with my hand until our eyes meet, "I did not cheat on you. I would never do this to you. I respect you, Tori. I love you."

"Sensei told me this baby is a gift. A precious gift." Tori's voice cracks as she touches her stomach, "He told me it'd be against humanity to abort it. He told me I'd have to make the final decision, myself, in the end. Regardless of what anyone tells me is right or wrong." She sighs, crying harder, "he.. said… I'd go against love….I refuse to .. go.. against.. my love for you. I refuse."

"Tori.." I place my hand with hers on her stomach, "I love you so much." I mumble through tears.

"You tell me right now… right now… the truth.. the truth, Dustin.. and I will believe you. Right now… tell me the truth." Tori cries, her eyes shut.

I squeeze her hands in mine, "I did not touch her. I did not cheat on you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I want us to have this baby. Raise it together. With pure love. I love you, Tori."

Tori opens her eyes and glares at me, "I love you.." she whispers, grabbing me in her arms. We hold each other like it's the first time we've ever held each other. Like it's the last time we ever will. Tori pulls my face to hers and kisses me. We embrace, making out and crying all at the same time.

I sit up on the bed, holding her. She takes my hand and places it on her stomach, "we're gonna have a baby." She giggles as I wipe her tears with my finger.

"We are, aren't we?" I laugh with her.

She motions for me to lay on the bed with her. I kiss her forehead, as I hold her in my arms. We'll lay here in comfortable silence until we drift off to sleep.

Type-o's… type-o's.. I'm sorry bout that…if my errors get too annoying let me know.. I'll proofread next time..
