A/N: Sorry it took me longer to update. I went to the beach for a few days, and then I became addicted to the Sims 2. I have periods when I don't play that game at all and then I have periods when I play all day. Thanks for all the reviews! I think we're going to break 200 this chapter! YAY! This takes place 1 month after Laci's shower. Laci is 31 weeks pregnant so she is almost 8 months! Oh and BTW, they still are not talking to Emily!

potostfbeyeluvr- Go ahead and kill Emily! It would save me and lots of people the trouble!

ProFfeSseR- I almost typed your name with out looking, but I ended up looking so it would be right. I thought about putting Luke in, but I just though that it might confuse things. I love Luke, but I didn't know what to do with him!

Kylie1403- Thanks for the opening idea!

Bloomin Daisy- I'm sorry but I just couldn't use the name London. Every time I said it I kept hearing London Bridge is Falling down in my head. The name that I picked is close to it though, so that's good. One of the teenage girls is named after you!

"Come on! Open this one! It's from all of us!" Mandy shrieked!

"You guys really didn't have to throw me a shower! I was planning on using all of Matt and Bryan's old stu..."

"Oh will you just open it!" Kiley cut Laci off.

"Wow, this is wow. I don't know what to say." Laci said after opening the present to find a car seat.

"Well thank you would be a good start." Sophia replied with a little bit of attitude.

"We know it's not the most expensive car seat, but we wanted Landon to have something of his own." Mandy said.

"Guys this is perfect! I'm sure he'll spend tons of time in it!" Laci got up, hugged her friends, and sat back down.

"Open the rest!"

"Okay!"

After Laci finished opening her presents, the four girls sat around Mandy's kitchen table and ate dinner. Once everyone had finished eating, they all made their way over to the local park for some girl time. Laci was sitting at the picnic table while the other girls were swinging on the swings.

"So how does your brother like his new school?" Sophia asked.

"He's only been there a few, but so far he loves it. He even told me that on the weekends the boys' school goes over to the girls' school and they have parties. My parents don't know about that though." Laci answered.

"When's the next time he's coming home?" Kiley ask.

"Um…I think on my Dad's birthday in September." (A/N: I'm not sure if we were ever told when Luke's birthday is, but I'm going to say that it is in September.)

"Oh, that's cool. I'm sure your dad will love that." Mandy said.

"I know he will. Hey, speaking of my Dad…he gave me an address of a young mother's group and I was thinking about going."

"I think that's a great idea!" Mandy reassured. "When is it?"

"Tonight at 7:30."

"You should definitely go! I'll take you if you want." Ever since Mandy had gotten her license, a little over a week ago, she had volunteered to take everyone everywhere they had to go.

"Um…I guess so. It's in Hartford though."

"I don't care about the long drive. Let's go back to your house and get ready! We need to leave in 20 minutes!"

"Why don't you just go and get your car and come pick me up here. I don't really need to get ready."

"Okay!" Mandy clapped as she ran to get her car.

Mandy returned ten minutes later with her brand new Civic. Laci said goodbye to her two other friends and thanked them for the small shower before getting in the car. After about twenty minutes, Mandy and Laci had finally arrived at the new mothers group.

Laci said goodbye to Mandy and told her to come back for her in an hour. She gradually made her way inside and sat down on one of the hard plastic chairs.

She looked around and spotted many girls like her self that were pregnant, some with new babies, some with older children, and some that looked like they didn't belong there. Laci assumed that the last set of girls had just found out that they were pregnant.

Laci heard a woman start to speak at the front of the room so she turned her attention to her. The women noticed that Laci was new and began her way over to Laci and shook Laci's hand.

"I see that you're new here. My name is Karen and I started this group about ten years ago after I had my first baby. What is your name?"

"I'm Laci."

"How far along are you?" One of the girls named Stacey asked. Stacey was rocking her daughter's car seat on the floor with her foot.

"I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow." Laci answered quietly.

"Are you still with the father?" Another girl, Amy asked. Amy looked to be about nine months pregnant. Her stomach was the first thing you noticed when you looked at her.

"No, we never really were together. You see he's older then me, and I met him at a club and we had sex a few times. The only reason that I went there was to get out my house for few hours." Laci was beginning to get more and more comfortable around these women by the minute.

"I take it that he didn't take the news very well." One of the skinnier girls, Sara, asked. Sara was just starting to show, she looked about four or five months pregnant.

"No, I actually never told him. I went to tell him one night, and when I got to 'the club', he got mad that I was there and I ended up getting into a fight with his 'date'. She actually knocked me over. I haven't seen him since."

Laci felt good that she was letting this all out. She didn't talk to Mandy about Landon's father. The only one she had talked to about this was her mother. The girls continued to ask her questions and she continued to answer them. After twenty minutes of questions the leader stepped in and began talking.

"This is the part of our meeting where we go around the room and share one thing that happened this week that ticked us off, and one thing that made us happy. Why don't we start with Lisa?"

"Um…well, I took Ellie to the mall with me so I could get some new bras. I hadn't taken her anywhere but here until yesterday since she's only three weeks old. Anyway as I was looking at bras, she started crying and I couldn't get her to calm down. I didn't know what was wrong with her. I tried giving her her pacifier, I checked her diaper, I held her, but nothing was working. Finally this older women came up to me and yelled in my face. She asked me to control my baby! I felt like punching her! I ended up putting the bras back on rack and leaving. Once we were outside and the stroller was moving Ellie calmed right down." Lisa shared.

"That must have been frustrating. Now tell us one good thing that happened this week?" Karen asked.

"Well, Ellie smiled for the first time. It was the most precious thing I ever saw." Lisa smiled as she picked up her new daughter.

"I remember when my little Caylin smiled for the first time. It was a very magical experience. Would you like to go next Sara?" Karen asked even though she knew Sara didn't have a choice.

"Sure. My grandparents came out from Florida two days ago, and I hadn't told either of them about the baby. My mom made me go pick them up at the airport, and when I didn't help them with their luggage; they got mad and told me how rude I was becoming. Once we were in the car, I ended up telling them everything. They weren't as mad as I had expected. They were actually pretty happy. They took the news better then my parents did. Okay, and one bad thing…I went to the doctors office for my four month check up and they couldn't find the heartbeat. I was scared out of my mind, but eventually they did find it. It made me realize how much I love this baby already." Sara told everyone and placed a hand on her belly.

"Now let's hear from Marissa."

"Okay. I guess I'll do bad stuff first. My morning sickness has finally started. Its worst then I thought it would be, and it's not in the morning at all! I get it after lunch. I am always in the bathroom after lunch throwing up. All I have to say is thank God school hasn't started yet. My good news is that Mike took the news extremely well, and we're getting married!"

"Congratulations Marissa! We are all very happy for you! Why don't you tell us about what happened to you this week, Laci?" Karen asked.

"By far, the best thing that happened to me was that my friends through me a baby shower. It was only me and my three best friends, but it was perfect. They bought a car seat for the baby! It has a sailboat and a sun on it but its mostly navy blue. A lot of bad stuff happened to me this week, but the worst thing that happened would have to be my Braxton hicks. I get them every night while I'm trying to fall asleep. The doctor said that it's completely normal, but they keep me up all night."

"Braxton hicks are painful! Let's move on to Amy!"

After everyone in the group had successfully shared two pieces of information with each other, Karen ended the meeting and handed out dessert. The girls mingled amongst each other until eight o'clock rolled around. All the girls were walking out together when Laci spotted someone coming towards her. She hadn't seen him in about five months. All the other girls had gone ahead and left after Laci told them that it was okay, so it was just her and this guy in the hallway together.

He walked up to her and looked into her eyes as she looked into his. She wasn't sure what to say so she just stood there waiting for him to speak, which didn't happen.

"Wh…what are you doing here?" Laci asked.

"I came to meet my girlfriend for a few tests; this is Planned Parenthood, isn't it?" Rich answered back.

"Yeh it is." Laci mumbled.

"I though you said that you were a virgin!" Rich yelled.

"I was. I didn't lie to you!"

"You obviously did! Look at you! You're ready to pop!"

"This baby is yours, Rich." Laci looked down at her feet.

"What!" Rich screamed.

"You are this baby's father."

"No, I'm not! You're lying! I know you are! Ever since the beginning you were a liar! You lied about your age. You lied about you experience with boys. How do I know you're not lying this time?"

"Because I'm not."

"Laci, I have places to be. Good luck with your baby." Rich stormed past Laci and into the lobby of Planned Parenthood.

"He's your baby too." Laci whispered.

Laci walked outside and got into Mandy's car. Mandy looked over at Laci to ask how things went inside, but she found Laci crying hysterically. Mandy asked Laci what was wrong a few times, but all Laci said was 'you wouldn't understand'. Mandy took Laci straight home, and left her with Lorelai.

A/N 2: I know this isn't a great way to end the chapter but I wasn't quite sure how to so…this is what I ended with. Next chapter Lorelai and Laci will talk about what happened. Maybe one of Laci's new friends will show up at her house to comfort her. And maybe, just maybe, Laci will go into labor. Review please!
