Lita and John decided to tell their parents about their plan in person instead of over the phone. They lived in Atlanta, Georgia including Lita's parents but John's parents moved a couple of hours away to Savannah a couple of years ago so they decided they would drive to Savannah over the weekend and tell his parents after they told her parents. It didn't really matter to Lita what either of their parents said, it wasn't going to effect her decision at all. John reassured her that it wouldn't effect his decision either.

They had planned to tell Dave when they met at his and Victoria's house before they went out. Unfortunately for Lita, that wasn't going to happen. When they arrived there, there were tons of people waiting ready to surprise her as a surprise birthday party. John didn't know anything about this either because his birthday was a week or so later so their friends decided to throw them a joint birthday party.

"Way to ruin our plans." Lita muttered under her breath taking a seat on the bed in one of the rooms in her brother's house. She wasn't too fond of being around a lot of people especially when she had something on her mind. She already mingled and tried to have fun with the guests but she couldn't take it anymore and decided to retreat upstairs.

"Not having fun?" John asked sitting beside her.

She rolled her eyes. "No. I'm having a lot of fun that's why I came up here."

John rolled his eyes in return. "I know you wanted to tell him but it can wait. Why not just tell him tomorrow when we tell your parents."

Lita snorted. "You obviously don't know him. He's going to freak more than my parents. I rather tell him without them present."

"Well then we can just tell him tomorrow before we head out to my parents." John suggested.

"I rather get it over with. He's going to be the most difficult, well for me anyways, to tell. You know how over protective he is. Even though I'm basically 30."

"What are you two doing up here?" Dave entered the room in which Lita and John were talking in. "You know the party is for you two. You abandoned your own party."

Lita looked at John who looked just as nervous as she felt. She thought maybe she should wait to tell him but she just wanted to get over with it. She looked at Dave and decided she should just do it now. "We need to talk to you."

Before Dave could say anything, John spoke up "Right now?"

Lita looked at John again. "Yes right now."

"Is that really a wise idea? I mean, there are people present downstairs."

"Yes. Stop being such a wimp."

"I am not a wimp."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"Enough already!" Dave exclaimed, rubbing his head, before John could get in another 'no'. "Will you two ever learn to act your age?" He paused for a second waiting to see if the two would tell them what they wanted to talk about. "Okay, so do you guys want to tell me what's going on?"

"I can tell him on my own if you want." Deep down inside Lita was hoping John wouldn't leave her to tell Dave alone but she understood if he wanted to.

"No that's fine." He was not going to let her deal with Dave alone even though he knew she would be able to.

"Just tell me please." Dave pleaded glancing between the two.

"Please close the door."

"Okay. You're worrying me," Dave started to say closing the door. "Is everything okay? What's wrong?"

Lita took a deep breath before she let it out. "I'm pregnant."

"What?! How is that even possible?! You're not even dating anyone. I hope you're not a one night stand type of woman. I don't even want to think that about you. Unless you're secretly dating someone?" He suddenly looked at John who looked shocked at by the red-head just said.

"What the hell Li?!" John was shocked at how Lita decided to drop the bomb. She was making him regret staying with her.

"You!" Dave glared at John heading towards him, Lita standing up in between the two of them. "Get out of my way Li."

"Okay so that wasn't the smartest way to say that, but I'm not pregnant."

"Why the hell would you even start it off that way?" John was a little angry at how she started off the conversation.

"I thought it would be easier."

"On what planet?"

"Shut up! And tell me what the hell is going on." Dave was still glaring at John even though he calmed down a little knowing that his sister was not pregnant.

After a couple of seconds of thinking of what she was going to say, Lita decided to tell her brother the plan. "Well, first let me get through everything and then you can react." She continued when Dave nodded in response. "Okay. So. Here's the thing. I'm turning 30 next year. You know how much I want kids and it's hard for women to have kids in their 30's. I thought that, you know, I don't really have anyone to have a baby with right now and I'm not getting any younger so why not use a sperm bank." It looked like Dave was about to interrupt her. "Please let me finish first." She continued when Dave gestured for her to. "So I don't want to use a random person because I won't really know everything about his family background and health background. So I decided why not ask my best-friend, who, by the way has agreed to have a baby with me. Now it's totally up to John about how much of a role he wants in the baby's life, he already said he wants a big role which is okay with me. Just know, I don't care too much what you think, I mean, obviously I care because you're my brother, but you're not about to change my mind about this. I'm one hundred percent serious about this."

Dave could not believe what he just heard. "So you want to have a kid with someone you aren't even in love with and the two of you would carry on and act like a happy family? Where did you get a crazy idea like this from?"

"Well. Like I said, I have always wanted a child so... Yea." Lita started to say until Dave interrupted her.

"And having a child with your best-friend randomly came into your mind?"

"Well, actually, I was watching 'Friends' and th-"

"'Friends'? You're making a huge decision based from a show?"

"No." She continued on. "Look, they had this whole back up plan thing where Phoebe told Rachel that Joey would marry her if they weren't married when they hit 40. And then it reminded me of 'Will&Grace' where Will and Grace decide to have a baby together because they wanted one, and again, they weren't getting any younger."

"A baby is not a toy Lita. You have to think this through."

"And I did. I'm not stupid. That just made me realize that instead of getting some random guys sperm I could get someone that I know very well instead. It would be better since I can know his family health background as well. Guys do lie on their files about their background sometimes." Her voice was starting to raise and she was starting to get angry.

"So you're going to get married to him too then if you're still single by you're 35?"

"If it comes to that yes. But honestly, I just care about the baby right now."

Dave knew there was no way in talking his sister out of this. He knew she was adamant when she really wanted something. He turned his attention to John who was quiet for most of the time. "And why did you decide to help her?" Dave saw that Lita was about to answer for John but he stopped her. "I'm talking to John right now."

John started to rub the back of his neck. "I knew it would make her happy. I know she's always wanted to have a family of her own even though this might be a little weird family but that's fine for her."

"She said you don't have to play any role in the baby's life but you said you want too. Are you ready for this kind of responsibility?"

"I wouldn't have agreed if I wasn't."

"When did she ask you?"

"Yesterday."

Dave looked a little surprised to find out that John agreed to Lita's plan quickly. "And you agreed right away? Why didn't you take time to think about it?"

"Look Dave." Lita interrupted before John could say anything. "Like I said before, I don't give a damn what you think. I'm doing this whether you like it or not."

"Is it bad that I want to make sure he's all in for it? That he won't change his mind?"

"I won't."

"See, he won't."

"Well, I think it's a stupid decision."

"Well I think, no wait, I know I don't care. Not even a little support?" Lita said a bit hostile.

"I just don't want you to make a mistake and get hurt."

"Damn it Dave." Lita got up from where she was sitting. "I'm leaving."

"Li, wait. Don-"

"No. I'm not going to stay somewhere any longer where someone thinks something that what I'm serious about doing is stupid. You're my brother. You should be supporting me. I'm nearly 30. I'm old enough to make a decision like this on my own. I thought this through, it's not something that popped into my head and I said 'Okay I'm going to do this' and then not even think about it. I talked to my gynecologist. I researched a lot on my own as well. I'm not a little kid anymore. I know what I'm doing."

"I'm sorry. You're my little sister. I just don't want you to get hurt."

Lita calmed down a little bit taking a deep breath before she looked at Dave. "Look, I know you're always going to be a little over protective of me. But like I said, I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I know what I'm doing. I would just like a little support whether you agree or not."

"Okay. I just want you to be happy." He gave her a hug.

"And this will make me happy. I still want to leave though." She ended the hug and turned to look at John. "We came together so can you drop me off or I'll take Trish's car and you can drop her off later? Unless she wants to leave right now too."

"Um. No I think I'm ready to leave too." Lita left the room after John responded who wasn't too lucky in leaving quite yet. Dave stepped in front of the door before he could leave.

"You better be one hundred percent serious about this. If you hurt her in any way, I will hurt you. I won't kill you because I would love to see you suffer over and over again. Got it?"

John gulped, Dave really sacred him sometimes. "Yea. I promise. I would never hurt her intentionally. Or even unintentionally." That was enough for Dave who moved out of the way and let John leave. He thought his sister was crazy but he had to support her because he didn't want their relationship to suffer and he knew she wasn't about to change her mind.
