Arnold could feel his heart beating. It's been a while since he's been in the hospital. He has never had any bad times in the hospital (Author's note: At least that I know of.. Let me know otherwise) he just hated being here; for some reason it always gave him some anxiety, especially now since the love of his life Helga is the reason for Arnold coming here. Arnold sat patiently as Helga was in the office without him waiting for her to come out. He then heard a voice he hasn't heard in such a long time.

Gerald: Arnold?

Arnold looked around to see Gerald.

Arnold: Oh hey Gerald, what are you doing here?

Gerald: My dad's here for his check up. What are you doing here?

Arnold: Helga fainted tonight so I brought her. .

Gerald: Dang I hope she's alright.

Arnold: Me too. I don't know what I would do if I were to lose her.

Gerald: She's going to be fine. Don't worry.

In the office:

Helga sat up in the bed, she looked around to see where she was at. She noted that she was in the hospital again. Helga sighed as she got up, she felt muscular hands grabbing her wrist gently pulling her back into the bed. When she turned she saw Michael (Arthur's note: He was in the last chapter) Michael smiled at her and grabbed his clipboard.

Michael: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I just didn't want you to trip and fall.

Helga laughs while blushing a little bit. She couldn't help that he was very gorgeous.

Michael: You passed out again due to not drinking a lot of water. It's important to drink a lot of water when you are carrying an infant.

Helga: I know.

Michael smiled at her while continuing his news.

Michael: Other than that I think you should be fine. I gave you my number in case you have any questions or something.

Helga raised her eyebrow at him in confusion

Helga: How did you know my password?

Michael: You don't have one…

Helga: Oh-

Michael: Yeah.. anyways you should be able to go. Just let me get some papers for you to sign then you are all set.

A few minutes later Helga came out of the office with Michael. Helga saw Arnold and smiled at him while walking over towards him. Arnold smiled back at Helga.

Arnold: You okay?

Helga: Yeah. Can we go home now?

Arnold: Sure thing.

Arnold and Helga left the hospital and were on their way back home. It took a while for them to get back home and the car ride was quiet. Helga was thinking about how she was going to tell Arnold that she was pregnant with his child and Arnold was thinking about how to tell Helga that he loved her. They both were trapped in their own worlds just thinking until Arnold stopped the car at a motel. Helga looked at him confused.

Helga: Why are we here?

Arnold: Because Helga everyone at the boarding house is asleep so we can't go back until morning.

Helga: What?

Arnold: House hours are over right now so no one can come in or out of the boarding house until the morning.

Helga: Don't you have the keys to the place?

Arnold: Yeah but I kinda… left them at home…. I didn't think it would take so long at the hospital so I didn't bring my keys

Helga sighs and rolls her eyes

Helga: So we have to stay here?

Arnold: Yes.

Helga: Okay..

Arnold: Is that okay?

Helga: Yeah it is, I guess. You go inside. I have to make a quick phone call.

Arnold: Sorry Helga, I can't leave you out here at this time of night. I'll give you time to talk on the phone when we get to the room. Okay?

Helga sighs

Helga: Fine. Let's go.

Helga and Arnold get out of the car and check into the motel Arnold paid for the night and the pair went to their room. The room had one bed and a couch and a tiny bathroom. Helga sighed and went to the bathroom to throw up. Arnold then sat on the bed and took off his shoes. He had to admit he was worried about Helga. She was throwing up a lot and it made him worry. Was she sick? Did she need a doctor? Arnold wanted to ask her about it but he was scared to do so. Arnold then sighed and ran a hand through his hair and sighed once more.

Arnold: Scared or not I'm going to ask her.

Helga: Ask her what? Who's she?

Arnold turned to see Helga standing in the doorway of the bathroom. Arnold then blushed some because he was embarrassed.

Arnold: Helga I'm going to ask you something…

Helga lifted one of her eyebrows in confusion as she began to make her way to the bed to sit down on the bed. Arnold sighed while looking at her.

Arnold: Why are you constantly throwing up? Are you sick? Do you need to go to the doctors?

Helga: I told you it's morning sickness.

Arnold: Yeah…. but what is that?

Helga sighed and began to change out of her clothes until she was in her bra and underwear. She then went to the right of the bed and got into it.

Arnold: Helga?

Helga: Look Arnold, I don't want to fucking talk about it…...now go to sleep.

Arnold sighed and went to the bathroom to clear his head. He then heard a knock on the door. Arnold went to get the door to reveal Helga standing there looking at the ground. She sighed while taking her extra strands of hair out of her face.

Helga: I'm sorry I snapped at you football head. Things haven't been good to me lately.

Helga walks over to Arnold and puts her head on his chest. She then wraps her arms around Arnold's waist and stays there. Arnold is shocked by her movements but then hugs her back. He has never seen Helga act this way towards him and it was starting to creep him out. Arnold then looks down to see Helga playing with the strap on his sweatpants.

Arnold: Are you okay Helga?

Helga: No, not really.

Arnold picked up Helga and laid her on the bed. Arnold then grabbed a blanket and covered themselves up with the blanket. Helga then scooted over and laid her head on Arnold's chest. She then sighed and started to play with Arnold's sweatpants string again.

Helga: Arnold?

Arnold: Yes Helga?

Helga: Do you ever get the urge to say something but you can't find the right words for it?

Arnold looked down at Helga's legs. He wanted to tell Helga how he felt but he didn't know how to. He really wanted to tell her but lately Helga has been very emotional so he wasn't sure how to tell her.

Arnold: Yeah

Helga: It's just hard to get this thing off my chest. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Arnold: It's going to be okay, I promise.

Helga: No it's not Arnold. It's not.

Arnold: Well if you wanna talk about it.. I'm always here for you.

Helga smiled at Arnold. She loved that about him. Helga loved how when she was with Arnold she could just be herself and Arnold would accept her no matter what. Helga sighed then looked up at Arnold. Arnold was on his way to sleep holding Helga in his arms. Helga finally shifted over and joined Arnold in the land of sleep.

The next morning Helga woke up before Arnold. She removed herself from Arnold's clutch and snuck outside to gather her thoughts.

Helga: What the fuck is wrong with me? This is Arnold, we've known each other for many years. Why the hell am I so nervous to tell him this?

Arnold: Tell me what?

Helga gasps while holding her stomach. Helga didn't even hear Arnold coming out of the room. Helga sighed and turned around to face Arnold.

Helga: I didn't hear you coming out.

Arnold: Helga are you okay?

Helga: W-what are you talking about?

Arnold: Helga, you're just not acting like yourself.

Helga: It's just tuff for me at the moment.

Arnold: Helga….

Arnold took a step closer to Helga while Helga backed up some more. Arnold then walked up to Helga and grabbed her cheeks forcing Helga's eyes to meet his own eyes.

Arnold: Helga… you know you could tell me anything.. you know the last thing I would ever do is judge you.

Helga sighed while getting out of Arnold's grab. She then turned around while looking out into the empty spaces where they were located.

Helga: Arnold.. I'm preg-

Suddenly the pair hears a phone ring. Arnold ran back into the motel room to find his phone ringing. Helga sighed while trying to listen to Arnold's conversation.

Meanwhile with Arnold:

Arnold rushed back to the room to see who's phone was ringing. When he saw that it was his phone he rushed to the bed to answer it. Without thinking who it was he answered it sounding like he was out of breath.

On the phone:

Arnold: Hello?

Stella (Arnold's mother): Arnold? Where are you honey?

Arnold: Mom?

Stella: Your grandfather called me telling me that you didn't come home last night.

Arnold: Helga and I accidently-

Stella: Helga? Who is that?

Arnold: She's a-

Stella: YOU SPENT THE NIGHT WITH A GIRL? OH MY GOD! DID YOU USE PROTECTION? YOU BETTER HAVE KEPT YOUR PANTS UP MR.

Arnold rolled his eyes and sighed loudly.

Arnold: Mom, Helga and I didn't do anything. We're just friends mom. We hung out by the park last night and lost track of time so we slept over at her house.

Stella: So you two didn't…

Arnold: No mom, we literally just talked and did homework in the park. Nothing sexual or anything happened. If it makes you feel better.. I-I'm still a-a virgin.

Stella: Okay good. We haven't had the sex talk yet so I don't want you to do anything yet. Okay?

Arnold: Yes mom. Anyways is that it?

Stella: Yes I was just coming to check up on you. I know I haven't been there for a while but I will be home I promise.

Arnold: Okay mom.

Stella: We love you.

Arnold: Love you too, bye.

Arnold hangs up the phone and then turns his attention to Helga who was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed. She makes her way to the bed where Arnold is at and sits next to him. Helga sighs while grabbing Arnold's hand and fiddling with his fingers. Arnold smiles down At Helga as he puts his head on her shoulder. They stay like that until Arnold breaks the silence.

Arnold: Hey Helga?

Helga: Yes Arnold?

Arnold: Have you ever been in love before?

Helga stopped playing with Arnold's fingers and looked at the ground. Her heart stopped in the process… why was Arnold asking about her love life? Was he asking for himself? Did he love her like she loved him? Or did he fall in love with someone else? Helga eventually sighed.

Helga: Yes. But like everything in my life it never worked out.

Arnold: Why?

Helga: Well they didn't love me back. It just shows you that you can love someone with all your heart and no matter what they won't love you back.

Arnold: That's not always true.

Helga: Really? Because after everything the person I love the most still doesn't love me back.

Arnold: Well did you ask them? It might come as a surprise

Helga: No, because he loves good girls. Not someone like me.

Arnold: Well he's a fool. Who wouldn't love you? You're the most amazing woman I have ever met. You're kind and generous and you're just amazing. So if he doesn't love you then he's the stupidest guy ever. Don't go chasing after someone who doesn't want you. You'll then realize it was a waste of time.

Helga: You… think I'm.. amazing? After everything I did to you?

Arnold: Yes.

Helga: But why? I've bullied you for years… since we were in pre-k.

Arnold: Because Helga, I know under that bad girl act there is a beautiful, sweet loving girl who just wants to feel accepted by everyone. I know you, Helga.

Helga smiles at Arnold while still holding his hand. Arnold smiles and then sighs.

Arnold: We should probably get going.

Helga: Oh yeah of course.

A few minutes later Helga and Arnold were driving back to Arnold's house or what Helga called it home. When Arnold eventually got back to his house he noticed Helga was sleeping. He laughed to himself and gently got her out of the car and picked her up, their chest facing each other's and Helga's head was on his shoulder while her arms were wrapped around Arnold's neck. As he was grabbing Helga out of the car he saw Gerald walking and looking.

Gerald: Arnold?

Arnold: Shh she's sleeping.

Gerald: Arnold what the hell are you doing?

Arnold: Nothing just carrying Helga up to bed.

Gerald: Why is she living here anyways?

Arnold: Because she needed a place to stay.

Gerald: Well don't forget we are going Last School Dance shopping

Arnold: Gerald, we have 4 months till L.S.D

Gerald: Better late than never.

Arnold: Yeah you're right. Those damn 9th graders will buy all the good suits.

Gerald: Yeah it's going to be me and you.

Arnold: Okay Gerald, I should probably get going before she wakes up.

Gerald: Yeah… bye man.

Arnold and Gerald went their separate ways and Arnold started to head to his room when he saw Suzie at the dinner table crying. Arnold stopped in his tracks and went to Suzie.

Arnold: Suzie?

Suzie: Oh uh Arnold (sniffs) What are you doing here? I thought you were at a game or something?

Arnold: Where is everyone?

Suzie: Well your grandparents are out with Ernie and Mr. Hynn, Mya is working and Oscar is god knows where and I'm just here.

Arnold: Why are you crying?

Suzie: Oh Arnold, I've done something horrible.

Arnold: What did you do?

Suzie sighed

Suzie: I'm pregnant…

Arnold: Wow that's great. Did you tell Oscar?

Suzie: That's kind of the problem… the baby isn't his…

Arnold: Wait.. what are you saying…

Suzie: Remember when Oscar and I went to visit his family in Europe? ( Chapter 8: Who you are?)

Arnold: Yeah but what does that-

Suzie: Well Oscar and I got into another fight like we normally do and I went out to a club without him and met someone. Turns out they were also visiting there as well so we started having an affair and next thing you know I'm pregnant.

Arnold: Suzie you need to tell Oscar.

Suzie: No I don't. I realized something as I was sleeping with him. I don't love Oscar, I'm filing for divorce.

Arnold: But Suzie..

Suzie: No Arnold. I've been with Oscar for a while and he will never change no matter what. Now it's time for me to spread my wings and leave him behind. Also give Helga my number she's going to need it.

Arnold: Why would she need it?

Suzie: Oh I thought Helga told you already..

Arnold: Told me what?

Suzie: Arnold, Helga is-

Suddenly Helga yawns, waking rubs her eyes and stretches her arms above her head as she was looking around to see where she was at. When Helga looked forward ahead she was face to face with Arnold's gorgeous green eyes.

Helga: Arnold? Where are we?

Arnold: We're home.

Helga smiled and kissed Arnold's nose. Arnold smiled back at her and started walking towards the stairs. After he managed to go up the stairs with Helga kissing and sucking on his neck Arnold put Helga down in the bed and closed the door. Arnold then took his sweatshirt off while Helga watched in Amazement. Arnold then felt Helga's eyes on him and he turned around.

Arnold: What?

Helga: Your body.

Arnold: What about it?

Helga: It's amazing.

Arnold: Gee uh thanks Helga…

Helga: Sorry.

Arnold then makes his way to his bed and sits next to Helga. Arnold had to admit he never thought he and Helga would be… together. Arnold remembered when they never got along and now look at them. Sharing bed, sharing kisses and other important moments together. Helga then reached over and kissed Arnold on the cheek. Arnold gasps as Helga moves back to her spot on the bed.

Arnold: What was that for?

Helga: For taking care of me earlier. I really appreciate it.

Arnold: I'd do anything for you Helga.

Helga: But why? I would never do anything for you..

Arnold: Yes you would.

Helga: What?

Arnold: You've done things for me like when we were in 10th grade and you stood up to Wolfgang for me that one time.

Helga: Well yeah he was being a dick head.

Arnold and Helga share a quick laugh then Arnold moves over to Helga's lap and lays his head on it. Helga is shocked by his movement and then starts to play with Arnold's golden locks. Arnold smiles and turns his head and starts to fall asleep. Helga then smiles down at Arnold and kisses him on his lips.

Helga: Good night my football headed king.

Arnold: Good night my Pataki Angel

Helga smiled as she laid back in the bed and fell asleep dreaming about her handsome Arnold.
