It was four months since it all started, Sydney's belly kept growing as the child inside developed, although she was being homeschool the amount of activities she was missing out on began to take their toll on the teenager.

-Noodle are you OK? - Judy asked

She sighed.

-Do you know where Olive, Sophia and Emmy are right now?

-Well they're not here right now…

-They're probably ready for tonight's dance under the sea…

Judy glared at her with dubious eyes

-Come again?

-That's the theme of the dance grandma… under the sea… sea shells, corals, you know…

-Oh… you want to go?

Sydney glared at the elder woman

-You know I can't… for one I'm not part of the student body and for seconds how will I dance being four months pregnant?

-Perhaps we can do something special in the girl cave when we're done.

Sydney smiled

-A movie, a pizza and some ice cream? - she replied

-That could work.

An hour and half later Sydney finally was able to close her notebook and her books and call it a day. She walked down and realized there was no noise in the kitchen and her Dad wasn't back from the store yet. Yawing and thinking that she would probably fall asleep mid-movie she walked down to the girl-cave. But as she reached the last step she almost fainted as four voices yelled…

-SURPRISE!

As she glared in shock the whole place was filled with decorations as if she was at the school dance. In a corner were Emmy, Sophia, Olive and Judy, all smiling.

-w… what… what is this?

-Since you couldn't go to the dance, we brought it for you.

Sydney began to cry, Olive ran to hug her.

-Don't cry, we did it because we love you. Also, someone else came with us.

Sydney's eyes opened wide as Harry appeared from the other corner and walked to her holding her hands.

-H… Harry…

But the impression was too much and the next thing Sydney knew was to find herself on the couch with her friends, Harry and her Grandma with concerned looks.

-w… what happened?

Harry was quick to kneel beside her

-I didn't mean to startle you…

Sydney sat

-Can I be alone with Olive please?

Judy motioned the others to leave.

Scared Olive sat beside her friend

-Sydney I… I thought you…

-I love him Olive… and you bring him here… to see me like this…

Then she realized something

-wait… when did he come back?

-two days ago… he went to school and asked for you…

The brunette began to sob.

-It's so unfair...

-We did this for you… we wanted you to be happy for a while… - Olive said

-Do I deserve to be happy Olive? After all that I have done?

Olive opened her eyes as much as she could

-Sidney… What makes you think you don't deserve to be happy?

-It's just… Why do you think Harry will like me now?

-He wouldn't be here if he hates you right?

Sydney couldn't find a reply, she knew Olive was right.

-I… I can't… I can't do this right now…

Olive went after her as her best friend made her way to her room. She sat and held her best friend's hands as she laid on her bed.

-You're not going to go through this alone Syd, you have us - Olive said

-All of us - said Sophie as she entered the room alongside Emmy.

Sydney smiled and hugged her friends. Two days after that the group was having pizza and reviewing the latest homework.

-Math is getting harder by the day… - Olive complained

Sydney giggled

-Wow… if the math wizard says that then we're all in trouble…

But things were about to take a turn for the worse, Emmy, who was sitting on the floor beside Sydney tried to get but, but her hand slipped on something.

-wh… what…

Sydney turned and saw the horrified look on Sophie's face

-t… that's blood… - she said scared

Olive realized where it came from

-Sydney you… you're bleeding…

Sophie held her hands while Olive ran to get Judy.

-You'll be OK Sydney… you'll be fine...
