DISCLAIMER: I am NOT Meg Cabot. I do not own the charecters (except for the unknowns). The plot, however, is all mine.

Back now! Were about to move to another house, though, so I'll be fairly busy. But anywho... thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed :hands out ice creams to save you from the blistering hot summer:.

On with the story!

Suze's POV

The party was in full swing. All our friends and family were sitting there, staring at the TV as we munched on some nachos.

Well, they were munching. I was sipping my water in an attempt not to vomit.

Morning sickness doesn't only last in the A.M.

Jesse and I decided to tell every one about the baby during halftime, when the guys blab on about plays and stuff before the show.

But until then, the guys were yelling at the TV. Including Jesse, actually. He's making his transition to the role of the 21st century man quite nicley by getting intrested in the sport.

Jesse sat down next to me with a second bottle of Corona and another water for me. I couldn't help but fantasize about stealing his beer and taking a swig, but I knew it would be bad for the baby.

He noticed me eyeing his beer. "Querida, if you don't want me to drink, I won't. I don't want to tempt you or anything." He whispered in my ear as hewrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer so I was snuggled very comfortably against his chest.

"No, I don't mind." I told Jesse, not wanting him to feel guilty or anything.

"You sure?"

"Yes" I reassured him, before we turned our attention back to the game.

Once the first half ended, Jesse andIstood up, getting everyone's attention. Once everyone finally stopped talking, he began.

"First of all, thank you all for coming over to watch the game. I hope you all are enjoying yourselves. But Susannah and I have an announcement to make..." He looked over at me, beconing me to continue.

I took a deep breath and finally said. "Were gonna have a baby!"

A statement which earned me an attack of hugsand kisses from my Mom, to start with, who was also crying and saying things like 'I'm so happy for you' and 'I can't believe I'm going to be a Grandma'. That was only the start. Everyone gave me a hug, a congrats, and a pat on the stomach.

Since when did my stomach become public property?

Well, just to fill you in on all that's happed in these last couple of years, here's what everyone's been up to:

A) CeeCee and Adam got hitched a couple of months ago (finally!)
B) Gina and Jerry have started dating, and things are starting to look serious
C) Jake got engaged to a girl he met at the grocery store. They're getting married on Christmas.
D) Brad graduated college and started playing pro football. He's not on the starting line-up, but he's on the Oakland Raiders team. Unfortunatly, he hasn't played a single game yet. (A/N: Long shot, I know, but hey, It can happen.)
E) David is about to graduate college with a bacholers degree in Physics.

That's basically it. Well, Mom and Andy are still doing good. And little John is doing great, as a Toddler should. My little brother was upstairs sleeping in one of the other rooms (which, now that I think about it,will probably be the baby room).

Paul finally saved me from the attack of the hugs (which should be the next horror film) by making an anouncement of his own.

"Well, Kelly and I found out the same thing this afternoon. Were gonna have another child." He said, with a proud smile, as he looked over at Kelly. Thisannouncment automatically turned the hugs to her, allowing me fresh air.

Deciding to congratulate the couple, I made my way over to Paul and Kelly.

"Congrats guys!" I said, hugging them both. Jesse gave Paul a simple handshake and Kelly a small hug.

As we stood there, all thoughts of High School left. We were adults now, and it showed. There were no hard feelings or anything, which was nice.

"Congratulations to you too!" Kelly said, in an all to familier high, squeaky voice. "Ohmigosh, Suze. Were gonna have to go shopping together! And we could do Pilates and Yoga and stuff! Ohthese 9 months will be so much fun!"

Oh dear God, save me now.

OK, don't get me wrong. Kelly and I are becoming great friends now. It's just the whole hanging out 24/7 thing that I'm not liking. I can handle Kelly in small doses, but I can already tell she's going to want to hang out alot more than we've ever hung out.

That will be hell.

About 12:30, everyone had left. Jesse and I were both exausted, so we went straight to bed. My back was resting against his perfectly sculpted abs as he gently rubbed my stomach. Like I was Buddah or something. But I could definatly handle Jesse touching me, as opposed to my little half-brother!

"I can't believe your pregnant, Querida." I could practically here him smiling from behind me.

"Niether can I." Itold him, turning in his arms to face him. I was right. He had such a radiant smile on his face.

"Nombre de Dios, your so beautiful." He told me, reaching up to tuck back some of my hair. I had heard about how pregnancy gives you sort of a glow. But he always tells me that, so it had to be more than pregnancy.

I smiled. "I love you." I told him.

"I love you too." Jesse told me before bending down for a quick kiss. "We should get to bed."

Nodding in agreement, I said. "Good night." Before cuddling back up into Jesse's warm hold.

He gave me a quick kiss on the head, whispering into my hair. "Good Night, Querida."
