The next morning, she opened her eyes and the room started spinning. Her stomach turned as she truggled to sit up. A wave of nausea flooded over her body and she ran to the bathroom.

After what seemed like hours, she stood up from her kneeling spot by the toilet bowl, and cleaned herself up. She splashed cool water over her pale face before slowly walking to her room and getting dressed.

She walked into the kitchen and Sadie was making breakfast.

"Hey. Good morning."

"Uh, morning," she said, as the scent filled her nostrils, bringing another bout of nausea upon her body.

"Something wrong? You look sick."

"Yeah, I think it's the flu or something. I'm just uh going to go to bed."

"Okay."

Kwest passed Jude on his way to the kitchen and carefully eyed Sadie. "What's wrong?"

"She said she has the flu."

"Oh, okay," he said, wrapping his arms around her thin waist.

"Kwest, I'm trying to make breakfast."

"I know that," he said, nuzzling her neck.

"Knock it off!" she giggled.

"Here," he held out a small black box.

Sadie dropped her spatula at the sight of the box. "Wh...Kwest, what is that?"

He slowly knelt down in front of her and grabbed her hand, before he opened the box. "Sadie Marie Harrison, will you marry me?" he asked with a smile.

"Yes!" she pulled him up and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He picked her up and spun her around, before speaking. "After Tommy's death, I realize that I love you and life's too short to lose you."

"I love you too Kwest."

"Do you want to tell Jude or not?"

"Not yet," Sadie shook her head. "It's too soon. Let's just keep it between ourselves."

"Fine with me."

After a week, Jude was still not feeling any better and Kwest entered the bathroom when he heard her gagging.

"Jude, are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine," she said, out of breath.

Kwest opened the door and saw Jude hunched over the toilet.

"You're fine alright," Kwest said, kneeling down beside her and pulled her hair back. Her face was pale and dripping with perspiration.

"I am," she said before she threw up again.

"Yeah," Kwest said as he rubbed her back.

After the nausea passed, she sat down and leaned back against the wall.

"Jude..."

"What?"

"Let's get you back to bed," he said as he picked her up and carried her back to her room.

Once Jude was back in bed, Kwest left to find Sadie.

"Sades, honey," he said as he gently shook her sleeping body. "You gotta wake up."

"Why?" she whined.

"Jude's still sick."

Sadie groaned, pulled herself out of bed, and walked into Jude's room. "Hey, Kwest said you were still sick."

"I'm fine."

"You look pale."

"So what? You should just go back to sleep Sadie."

"Jude, I'm not so sure you're really sick."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"You haven't been eating, you're throwing up, you're crabby one minute and crying the next..."

"My boyfriend just died Sadie!"

"I know, but Jude, I, I think you're pregnant."

"What? Sadie, are you nuts?"

"Jude, I'm serous."

"I can't be pregnant Sadie."

"I'll be right back."

Sadie came back into the room carrying a small cardboard box.

"Where did you get that?"

"Long story. Just go," Sadie handed her the pregnancy test.

Jude eyed her curiously before taking the box and going into the bathroom.

Kwest walked into the room when Jude closed the bathroom door.

"What's going on?"

"I think she's pregnant."

"What? Do you think it's?"

"Ryan's? I don't know," she said, as she knocked on the door. "Jude?"

Sadie heard something crash to the floor and quickly opened the door. She picked up the positive pregnancy test and looked at Jude.

"This isn't happening Sades. Not now."

Kwest looked on from the bathroom, keeping his distance from the sisters.

"Is it for sure Ryan's?"

Jude shook her head. "No."

Kwest swore under his breath. "Dammit Tommy. What were you thinking?"

"You had sex with Tommy?"

Jude nodded and looked at the floor.

"Jude," Sadie said as she hugged her sister again.

"What am I going to do Sadie?"

"I don't know Jude."

The next day Turner and Leila stopped by before their plane left. Jude told them both everything soon after they had arrived.

"What are you going to do?" Leila asked.

"I don't know. I'm 17, pregnant, and my boyfriend just died."

"I'm really sorry Jude," Turner said.

"It's not really something to be sorry about, but thanks anyways."

"I have to go back today," Leila said. "Autumn's getting sick of my Mom taking care of her, but Turner is staying another week."

"Yeah, I can stop by and visit.

"And you know I'll call."

"Thanks you guys," she hugged Leila and Turner.

"But right now, Turner has to give me a ride to the airport. We'll talk soon okay?"

"Yeah, bye."

Turner and Jude ended up becoming good friends before he had to go back to Hawaii. He would stop by at least once everyday, usually around lunch when both Kwest and Sadie were at work, and he would keep her company. She said a tearful goodbye to him the day he left.

"Bye Turner. Thanks for everything."

"Hey don't worry. I'll try to come visit sometime soon."

"Bye."

That night, Jude and Sadie were curled up on the couch watching a movie when the phone rang. Kwest reached for the phone on the table and answered it.

"Hello."

"Kwest," came Victoria Harrison's sultry voice.

"Mrs. Harrison."

"I would like to speak to one of my daughters. Preferably Jude."

"I don't think so."

"What?"

"Jude and Sadie don't want to talk to you."

"I want them to come see their new baby sister. I'm in Toronto."

"Whoa, baby?"

"Turner and I have just had a baby girl."

"Turner?"

"My boyfriend Turner. He's a med student in Hawaii and he met me in Toronto to pick up the baby."

Kwest slammed the phone on the hook. Turner, the so-called friend of Jude's was Victoria's boyfriend. As if it wasn't bad enought that her boyfriend had died, and she was pregnant, but now part of her support syster was banging her Mom.

"Kwest, who was that?" Sadie asked quietly.

"Your Mom."

"What did she want?"

"I don't think you want to know."

"Kwest," she said in a firm voice.

"She wanted you and Jude to come see Turner and the baby."

"Turner? You mean the guy that was in our house and called Jude from Hawaii."

"He's not in Hawaii, he's in Toronto."

"Isn't that just lovely," she sighed as she sat down at the table.

"What are we going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean with Jude."

"To be honest, I don't know. She hasn't even really mentioned the baby."

"She's 17 Sadie, I'm sure she's a bit overwhelmed. I just hope she doesn't do anything stupid."

"If she was going to, she would have done it already. Tommy's been gone for almost a month."

"I know, and if she wouldn't be pregnant I wouldn't be worrying, but thinka bout what's going through her head," Kwest said.

"We'll just have to keep an eye on her," Sadie said.

Kwest nodded as Sadie heard Jude gagging in the bathroom. "I'll go," she said.
