Thanks to x snow- pony x and Justice237 for reviewing.

The only story I'm updating nowadays is the search for a family haha. I just have it planned out so to the point I can write one chapter after the other like every other day. But here's a new chapter for this.

Oh, I turned 24 the other day. And another thing that happened that day was that I found out I got in at a school I've applied to the last three years. It makes me really happy that I finally got in. But of course, starting there I don't know about time and everything. Or how much time I'll have left for writing but of course I'll still do my best to write for and in its time, finish all my stories.

I did notice something though. In this story Kenny's sort of an annoying Mary Sue- a character without flaws. Hmmm… There's not much to do about her character this long into the story. But one thing I do know is that she makes quite a few decisions (like running away) without thinking about how it will become for others… Anyway. I hope you'll like the story anyway.

"And that's why Robert and Margo Campbell might foster me too."

Michael hadn't shut up about the Campbell's since they had left the day before. Of course I couldn't blame him for it. So wouldn't any kid in here if they had the chance of getting fostered all of a sudden...

"Are you okay Harry?"

Harry didn't seem too happy about it though. And of course we had all heard that the Campbell's plan was to foster him.

"Harry. For the thousandth time." Mike had tried to talk Harry several times I had heart. "Those guys aren't going to leave you behind for meeting Michael. If they change somehow they'll end up fostering the both of you. And they already have five children so one more brother or not couldn't hurt, right?"

Harry pouted. He still seemed sure he was going to get left behind for ever and ever.

And while I felt sorry for Harry. It must be something fantastic if the Campbell's really were to foster both of the boys.

I hadn't talked to the couple and hadn't wished to do so either. But I had met Robert in the hallway slightly and when I nodded at him and saw him into the eyes there was something in there it was about a real, good parent. Something these kids hadn't seen and were craving so badly.

"Mike told me not to tell anyone. But I can't keep a secret and I'm so happy. And Robert and Margo really liked me I could tell."

That secret had gone already by dinner only minutes after they'd left…

And there wasn't much else the children here talked about or thought about during the rest of the day and the next day.

At last I had gone into my room to at least not to have to hear it one more time.

"I know." When I sat on my bed and tried to get some rest the door opened and Johnny stood in the doorway. "You're tired of hearing about it too?" I gave a tired nod. "Imagine what it's like for me having to share with Michael." He gave me a meaning look. "Can I come in?"

"Yes of course."

"You know I can't come into anyone's bedroom without their permission." Johnny came in and sat on my bed next to me. "Especially not a girl's." I leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed with my eyes closed. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just so tired… Geez. It's only March, we've got two months left of the pregnancy and I'm big as a mountain and I can't even sleep through the night. If he's not kicking, I'm bathing in sweat or can't find a good position. Or my nose feels all stuffed or I have nightmares…" I sighed again. "And all the time, twenty-four hours a day I'm wondering what on earth will happen to Boo once he's born."

"Well, about you I think you look as beautiful as ever. About Boo, I can't do much really. But I can promise you that I'll be there for you and I think that in itself could be helpful. Am I right?"

"Johnny."

"Mhm."

"Don't lie! I haven't showered in way too long. My hair is all messy, I've been sweating to death and I'm fat. I've never been as far from beautiful as I am now…" Johnny chuckled. "What? I can kill you right now and blame it on pregnancy hormones."

Johnny only laughed more. I leaned closer into his grip- if I had ever thought I was in love with Jace…

"I guess you won't kill me then."

"I won't if you shut up."

I could almost hear the way Johnny smiled. I could have fallen asleep right then and there if Boo hadn't made a summer salt and started kicking inside of me right then.

"Feel that," I laid a hand on my belly and showed Johnny to the same. "He's kicking… Hello Johnny." I made my voice squeaky and pretended that I was talking as Boo. "I bet you one day will make a whole lot of a better dad than my dad… I'm pretty sure most dads will." I sighed and Boo calmed down again. "I wish… I wish there was a way I could just fall asleep and then wake up again in three months and everything will have been taken care of."

Johnny didn't answer, but I felt him comfortingly blowing in my hair. And for quite a while we both sat quiet.

"Those people look like a nice family though." I said thoughtfully at last. "And I know also the social services will make sure they are before anyone ends up living there whether it's Harry and Michael or only one of them… Or the McDonald's… or Matthew… But there are so many out there and oh my God."

I buried my face in Johnny's shirt and tears started streaming down my cheeks and into the blue fabric.

"I wish this was an as easy decision to make as it is to just say that wherever he is I just want Boo to be treated well, to be loved and cared for… but how am I supposed to know who will?"

I couldn't keep talking and I lost count of how much time passed by while we sat there- it must have been quite uncomfortable for Johnny.

"I'm sorry." At last I sat up and wiped the last of the tears with my sleeve. "Gosh! I got snot and tears all over your shirt."

"It can be washed." Johnny took my hand as if he wanted to still feel my touch- or as if he knew I needed his. "Don't say you're sorry…" I sniveled. "I just wish there was more I could do to help you Ken."

"It's just… it's just so little but still the biggest things. I would give anything to make sure Boo lives with parents, parent or a family that loves him and treats him right no matter what."

"Whatever happens there will be someone who loves him though." Johnny stroke my hair. "You!"

I sniveled and wiped my nose with my sleeve again. A short version of everything that had happened the last seven months passed by for my inner vision.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you home?" Jace's mum asked me when I passed the kitchen to get out of the house. "If you weren't feeling well I could…"

"It's just a headache." I said, a bit too quickly. How was I supposed to tell her, or even to myself what had happened while she was at work? Did I have to? It felt like I had to. "I'm sure some fresh air will only do me good and it's not far anyway- bye."

Half running out onto the street the august rain was falling, I would have tried to hurry if this was a normal day but it wasn't a normal day…

"He didn't care enough to even follow me…"

"What?"

"Just…" I leaned forward and kissed Johnny again and then leaned my head against his neck and shoulder. "Just one of the reasons of why you are a better guy than my ex-boyfriend… he just ran away and pushed me out of his life when I told him about everything…"

Johnny didn't answer, but it was like I could feel how he tensed angrily of how Jace had hurt me.

"I hope you'll have children some day Johnny." I mumbled tiredly. "You'd be a better dad than Jace and the fathers of all… Can you promise me something?"

"What?"

"That you'll be by me while I have to make the decisions and after I made them. Even if you might think I make the wrong…"

Johnny cleared his throat and let go of my hand. And for quite a while we were both quiet.

"No?"

"Yes, of course. And I'm pretty sure that if you make the decision that you feel is right then it will be the right one too." He took my hand again. "I promise I will be there."

I couldn't find a good way to end the chapter. And I know it's just a filler with Johnny and Kenny talking but this had to happen too. So I hope you liked it anyway.

Random fact

From the beginning this story was supposed to be only about Kenny and the pregnancy. Then I was running out of ideas and asked for readers to send in syoc (submit your own character) characters. And now we're at this point in the story. And one chapter that's mostly a filler actually. But I needed to make a chapter all about Kenny and Boo.
