Ch. 12 Pregnant… Twice!
"You're what?" Eric asked at her pausing. Taylor sighed and bit her lip.
"I know it's soon, but I'm pregnant," Taylor looked up at him pleadingly, pleading please, please don't hate me…
Eric stared at her for a while, processing the information. Then he had to sit down.
"Eric?" Taylor asked, upset, "Eric, please say something. I'm sorry. I know I promised not till later, but this was an accident. I'm really sorry," Taylor cried. Eric looked up at her.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking. And no, not just since you told me. Since our last pregnancy discussion. If it happens, it happens. So I'm fine with it, besides," Eric looked back towards the campground again, "I'm sort of starting to see the other's happiness in a whole new light, and well… yeah. It would be cool to have one of those," Eric shrugged.
"Eric!" Taylor smiled and threw her arms around him. He staggered backward and smirked.
"Thank you. Although you didn't say it, I know that mean that you are excited," Taylor laughed.
"You know I'm very cryptic," Eric laughed. Taylor smiled into his neck.
"Thanks for being supportive," she whispered for the millionth time.
"You know I would be anyway," Eric laughed and kissed her. She deepened the kiss, just to hear coughing from behind them.
"Hello people," Melissa laughed.
"Right, sorry," Eric sighed, grabbed Taylor's hand, and they walked back to camp.
Lexie was playing around with her doll, Tony asleep in Jackson's arms. Daley and Nathan were cuddling (as always) and Lex and Abby had walked off somewhere.
"Where are Lex and Abby?" Eric asked.
"I'll go get them," Melissa sighed.
"No, don't," Daley laughed, "Lex deserves to not be interrupted for the first time in this millennia."
"Oh yeah," Melissa laughed.

"So," Lex murmured as they walked away from camp. They both had their hands in their pockets nervously.
"Yeah," Abby sighed.
"I've been meaning to ask you something for some time now," Lex murmured, "but being the youngest I've been interrupted more than enough times now," Lex laughed nervously.
"It's unfair that way," Abby admitted, "but go on."
"Well… I… well… that is… I mean… I just… I was wondering," Lex stammered, "Um… would you maybe… like to… go out sometime?" he finally managed to blurt out. Yeah, that was so not cool at all.
Abby bit back her grin, "Yeah, yeah that would be cool." Lex smiled sheepishly back.
"Well… then… yeah… that would be fun," Lex stammered, his face flushed.
"Well, um, okay," Abby stammered, "so that's it then," and blushed herself.
"Yeah, I guess," Lex sighed. Then, in a whir of emotions that he didn't really understand, he placed his hands on the back of Abby's neck and kissed her. Her eyes bulged out and she kissed back. Lex broke away after a while, blushing even more now.
"Um… that was…" Lex mumbled.
"Nice," Abby laughed.
"Yeah," Lex laughed as well, and held out his hand. Abby took it, and they walked back to camp.

Daley woke up the next morning, and had to run outside immediately. She threw up outside of her hut, clutching her stomach. Nathan came outside and held back her hair.
"All done?" Nathan asked when she paused in the retching for a bit.
"Yeah," Daley stammered and stood up weakly.
"When will you know if it's…?" Nathan murmured.
"Well, if my period doesn't start soon, it probably is. But Taylor still has a few pregnancy tests. Why her mom gave them to her before we left, I have no idea. But they are coming in handy fast," Daley smiled and chuckled.
"Too true, too true," Nathan shook his head and laughed, "Do you want to check now?" he asked, grinning.
Daley thought for a minuet, then said excitedly, "Okay!" and ran off to Taylor and Eric's hut. Nathan could hear yelling, annoyed shouts and Daley running back.
"Here, I got one- Taylor got upset because she got a box of ten and there's now only 5 more, the extra one lost being from when Melissa wasted one way back when," Daley laughed, "so I… I'm going to go check now…"
"Okay, good luck," Nathan kissed her softly as she ran over to the latrine. He walked inside the hut and pulled out Lexie, then walked back outside to wait. Jackson and Melissa were eating breakfast, Tony asleep. It appeared that Eric and Taylor were asleep again, and Lex and Abby were off walking somewhere.
Daley came rushing back in ten minuets, a goofy grin on her face.
"Yes!" She squealed and hugged Nathan. Nathan laughed and spun her around, making Lexie giggle as well.
"That's so amazing," Nathan laughed, kissing her neck. Daley laughed softly and took Lexie from him, who was looking (understandingly) confused.
"Lexie," Daley turned to Lexie immediately as Nathan continued kissing her neck and now stomach, "you're going to have a little sister or brother!"
She looked confused for a second, before clapping her hands together happily.
"Yay! Yay, yay, yay!" she giggled. Daley laughed herself.
"Nathan, stop it!" she laughed and Nathan jumped up.
"Oh fine," he rolled his eyes.
Lexie was clapping her hands together, "yay!"
"I feel exactly the same," Nathan laughed and took her from Daley, "Now come on, I'm going to have Taylor and Eric watch you- Lord knows they need the practice- while I talk to Mommy."
"K," Lexie giggled and Nathan took her away. Daley stood smirking against their hut as more yells, annoyed shouts, and running occurred. Nathan ran back up to her.
"Hello again," he laughed and kissed her full on the mouth. Daley moaned into it as Nathan wrapped his arms around her.
"Is this what you meant by 'talking'?" she laughed.
"There are certain things young eyes shouldn't see," Nathan mumbled, nuzzling her neck.
"But… Nathan…" Daley giggled as he traced kisses around her neck.
"Nathan!" she tried again, "come on, I'm already pregnant! And we have no idea if this is a bad idea for the baby…" (AN: Nor do I. That sort of information is greatly appreciated.) Nathan just replied by kissing her jaw.
"This is how we find out. Besides, we celebrated this way the last time and Lexie turned out okay," he laughed.
"Yeah, but the other didn't," Daley murmured softly.
"He was stillborn," Nathan muttered, "it wasn't your fault. Nor mine. Nor Melissa's or Taylor's or Abby's or Lex's."
"I know," Daley sighed, "Okay then," and Nathan kissed her passionately again, and Daley moaned in response.
