Lauren woke up to find that Alexis had moved unto the chair in her room. Alexis was still asleep. She looked at the clock. It was 7:30.

'Oh no,' Lauren thought.

They were supposed to be at work at 8. She was almost better now but she was still weak. She shook Alexis awake and then went to go take a shower. After her shower she got dressed. She brushed her teeth and then she ran out to the car with Alexis. Well Alexis ran Lauren hobbled.

The got to the set around 8:15/8:30. They ran to there trailers and looked at there call times. Thankfully neither of then had to go into hair and make-up for another 15 minutes. They weren't that late but they hadn't looked at there scripts or what scene that they were going to be shooting. Lauren looked at her script and tried to memorize some of her lines. She just couldn't focus. She had so much on her mind. She tried to push those thoughts to the back of her mind so she could study the script but every once and awhile a thought would slip through.

"Lauren! Alexis! Hair and make-up!" Someone outside of their trailers called. Lauren and Alexis trailers were pretty close to each other. Lauren walked out of her trailer and started walking to the hair and make-up trailer still looking at her script. She felt someone put her arms over her eyes.

"Guess who," the person said. Lauren recognized the voice right away.

"Oh. Umm… God?"

"Haha very funny. Now a serious guess."

"Oh this is a hard one, Alexis. I just don't know."

"How'd you know," Alexis seriously replied.

"Well you know when you do that your not supposed to talk that much and your not supposed to let me see your feet."

"Oh. Well I'll do better next time."

"Well we should probably get going."

"Well ya we don't want to be late."

They both laughed. They walked to the make-up trailer to get ready.

Lauren woke up with a stomach ache which she did every morning. But today it wasn't as bad. She hoped that soon she wouldn't have to put up with stomach aches. They started to go down during the day but by the time it was almost gone she was asleep and it started all over again.

At around lunchtime at the set Lauren wasn't hungry but she really wanted to eat something. She wasn't quite sure why she felt this way, but it had been happening quite a lot. Both Alexis and Scott noticed that Lauren hadn't been eating her lunch lately and they were getting worried about her. Lauren just wasn't hungry. She really wanted to eat now because she didn't really eat breakfast and she should probably nourish her baby.

She tried to eat some apple sauce but she just couldn't eat it. She took one bite then had to give it to Alexis. Alexis refused to take it and tried to make Lauren eat it but then she saw the look in Lauren's eyes. Lauren didn't know about her eye thing but everyone else did. So she took the apple sauce.

"Hey Alexis?"

"Ya," Alexis said through her mouth full of apple sauce.

"Would you help me pick some stuff for the baby?"

"Don't you need to know what sex the baby is first?"

"Ya I went to the doctor last week and they said what it was."

"Well… Is it a girl or boy?"

"I guess you'll have to come to find out."

"Oh great now I have no choice. I'm done at 5 so we can go then if you're off."

"Ya I'm off. I'll see you then."

Lauren and Alexis walk off to their own trailers. Alexis curious to see if it's a boy or girl and Lauren thinking about what she needs for a kid. She has no idea.

'Thank God Alexis is coming,' Lauren thought. She would only know to get a crib but her dad was sending Lauren her old crib.

Later on Alexis waited for Lauren to pick her up. They were going to the mall to look for baby things. She was still excited to find out the sex of the baby.

'I hope it's a girl!' she thought to herself.

Soon after the doorbell rang and Lauren was standing there smiling as much as she could. Lauren and Alexis walked to Lauren's car. Alexis was trying to see if she could trick Lauren into telling her if it was a boy or a girl the whole time. It didn't work. Alexis could sense that something wasn't right with Lauren but she didn't want to drill her about it.

Lauren ran to her vehicle. When Alexis got there Lauren already had her seatbelt on and was putting on her Rascal Flats CD.

"What took you so long," Lauren said.

"Well I accidentally got into the wrong car then the guy accidentally kissed me because he thought I was his girlfriend! How weird is that?"

They both started laughing as Lauren started to drive to the mall.

About 20 minutes they got to the mall. It took them a while to find a parking space because there were so many cars there today. They walked around the mall for a while, neither of them quite sure where to go. They both felt awkward because of the reason they were in the mall. Lauren thought this would be easier than it was.


After what seemed like hours of just walking around in circles, Alexis noticed a store called "The Baby Store".

"Hey. What about that store?" Alexis asked pointing to the store.

"Uh-Um sure" Lauren said getting nervous.


Alexis walked into the store a little quicker then Lauren. Lauren was nervous and Alexis saw that but she knew that Lauren wouldn't want her to know so she just kept on walking. She didn't want to make Lauren any more nervous then she already was.

Lauren slowly but surely walked into the store. As soon as she walked in she saw the perfect bed sheet. She wasn't sure what she would do with it but she knew that that was the bed sheet she needed. Lauren walked up to the bed sheet and Alexis followed.

"It's purple. What does that mean? A girl?"
