A/N: Once again thank you all for the reviews! I need to think of something new and creative to say. LOL. By the way…no body has spoken to Emily since that night!

Oth2007- Caitlin, Caitlin, Caitlin…Emily does know that Laci is pregnant. She was pretending to play stupid, but she does know. Her whole rant was about Laci, not some other girl. Hope you had a good time in RI.

ProFfeSseR- You were right! Emily's rant was about Laci.

falcons my daddy- I was to lazy to look this time, so lets just say that you had the longest review!

Lackinglime13- The father will probably find out 2 chapters from now.

One day in the middle of July, there was a knock at the door. Laci was the only one home, so she got up to answer it. She suspected that it was Liam and he had gotten locked out of the house or something, but it was a bunch of her school friends. Laci was really embarrassed but she welcomed them in anyway.

There were four girls counting Laci, and they all made their way to the couch. Laci didn't know what to say, so she said nothing at all. Thankfully Mandy was one of the girls, because she broke the awkward silence.

"So, Laci…we thought it would be nice if all of us took a trip to the beach today. Do you think you'd like to come?" Mandy asked hopefully.

"I'd have to ask my mom, but other then that I'd love to." Laci said while she got up to get the phone.

She walked into the kitchen with the phone at her ear and waited for her mother to pick up. The girls in the other room were listening intently to Lorelai and Laci's conversation.

"Hey, mom…No, I'm fine. I just have a question. My friends just stopped by, and they were wondering if I could go to the beach with them today…No, not over night...No I'm not…Mom, seriously…I'm not too far along. I'll be fine…I'm only six months pregnant….I'm sure I won't go into labor down there…Mom!...Really?...Thank you!...I'll be fine, I promise!...Love you too, bye!"

Laci hung up the phone and went back into the living room. Everyone had heard the conversation, and they watched her as she came in. Laci sat down next to them with a huge smile on her face.

"My mom said I could go!" Laci cheered.

"I know. That's great, but do you think its such a good idea for you to be going that far?" Sophia, the only girl with her license asked.

"Yeah, you never know what might happen. It is a long drive." Kiley added.

"They're right, Laci. Maybe this isn't a good idea." Mandy continued.

"Nothing will happen! I'll be fine!" Laci said with hurt in her voice.

"Laci…what happens if something goes wrong? We won't know what to do!" Kiley tried to reason.

"You guys don't want me to come, do you?"

"Yes we do! We're just scared!" Mandy explained.

"Fine. You guys can go with out me. I don't care. I have some things to do around the house anyway. I'll see you guys around." Laci's whispered.

"Laci, it's not like that…" Sophia persuaded.

"If you guys don't go now, you'll get stuck in the traffic. You better go, plus this baby here has a tendency to make me pee a lot, and I really have to go now. You know the way out." Laci tried to hide her sadness.

Before the girls could argue Laci had locked herself in the bathroom. She stayed there until she thought they had left, and went back to the living room. She was surprised that they were still there. She quickly turned around as if she had to go to the bathroom again, but Mandy called after.

"We have concluded that it would not be a day at the beach without Laci Emilyn Danes. Would you like to come with us?" Mandy asked.

"I guess it really wouldn't be a day at the beach without me, huh?" Laci joked.

"Goody! Go get your stuff!" Kiley shrieked!

"And hurry!" Sophia added.

Laci came out of her room wearing her bathing suit and a pair of shorts. In her hand she was holding her beach bag and an extra towel. The girls looked up at her, and their eyes held a shocked expression. They hadn't seen her since May, so the big belly thing was new to them. Once again the awkward silence was back. Kiley and Sophia just stood there staring at Laci's stomach, not sure what to say. After a few minutes Mandy spoke up.

"So…I guess we should be leaving. I call shot gun!"

"Hey um Mandy? Can I sit in the front by any chance? The back makes me car sick." Laci whispered.

"Oh, yeah. That's fine!"

All the girls ran to the car, except Laci who waddled. They spent the whole ride there catching up.

After they got there, all the girls laid their towels out on the beach and went in the ocean. After about twenty minutes Laci's feet got tired, so she walked back to their things and sat down on her towel. The rest of the girls stayed in the water for quite some time.

They joined Laci almost an hour after she had gotten out. When they got to their spot, they found Laci with her hands on her stomach. The girls looked at her, wondering why she was doing that, but they didn't say anything. Laci looked up at them and she knew what they were thinking.

"He's moving a lot now. He's been kicking for the past ten minutes, it's pretty neat. You can feel it if you want too."

"No, that's okay." All three girls said at once.

"So what do you want to do now?" Laci asked.

"We were thinking about going on the boardwalk and going on some rides." Sophia answered.

"I can't go on them, you guys can go if you want." Laci said.

"No, that's okay. Do you want to go back in the water with us then?" Kiley asked.

"Sure." Laci said as she tried to get off her towel. "Can somebody help me up?"

"Yeah. I will." Mandy volunteered.

The girls went back into the water. Mandy, Kiley, and Sophia stayed there for hours, but Laci found herself back on her towel after only a half an hour. Laci's back was starting to hurt from not having any support, but she was trying not to complain. After awhile she forced her self to get up and rent a chair. The chair made her look weird compared to her friends, but then again so did her stomach.

. When the girls dropped Laci off at home later that day, she was the happiest she had been in awhile. She walked right to her room, curled up in bed, and thought about the events on the day. She finally realized that she wasn't a kid anymore. She was a kid's mom.

A/N 2: I hope you all liked this chapter. The next one is going to be Laci's sweet sixteen. Please REVIEW!
