John was waiting for Lita in his car trying to understand what Dr. Moretti just said. He was wondering why Lita never told him about her previous pregnancy which resulted in a miscarriage. He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard the door to the passenger side open. Lita took her seat, closed the door, and put her belt on. John just sat in the drivers seat without starting the car or without any intention of starting it. "Would you like to drive?" Lita asked looking straight ahead avoiding eye contact. Please don't let him say anything right now.

John took a deep breath before he looked over to Lita and spoke. "So you were pregnant before?" He waited for Lita to answer him but when she didn't, he continued. "How long ago was this? Were you plannin' on tellin' me? Did you tell anyone?"

Lita sighed. "Can we not do this right now." She really didn't feel like having this conversation right now.

"Please."

"Fine. I was pregnant about a year ago and I had a miscarriage. That's all you need to know about this. You know what? You didn't even need to know that because it's none of your business."

"Why didn't you say anything before?"

"Like I just said, it's none of your business. It's no one's business except for mine and..." she still couldn't say his name without getting upset.

"But I'm one of your closest friends. I should have been there for you. You kept avoiding everyone back then."

"I told Trish. I had her." Lita said sternly. She was not about to give in and tell everything.

"So is this why you and Christian broke up?"

Lita finally turned to look at him. "Look. I found out I was pregnant, I told him, he freaked out, he told me he didn't want to have kids, I broke up with him, I found out I had a miscarriage and yea, that's all that happened." She really hoped he couldn't see right through her because there was more to this story, more that she wasn't planning on telling him. She waited for him to start the car and drive away, but he was still in shock so he didn't do it just yet. "Are you going to drive or should I just walk home?"

John started the car and began to drive. "I'm gonna kill him." John said breaking the moment of silence.

"No you're not. This is exactly why I didn't tell anyone."

"Christian left you when you told him you were pregnant."

"No." Lita corrected him. "I left him when he told me he didn't want to have kids."

"And he just let you. He was gonna let you deal with it all on your own. You can't even say his name. There's more to this than you're telling me."

"No there's not." Lita lied. "Just leave it. That's all there is to know." John left it alone when he knew Lita wasn't about to continue this conversation anymore.

"Trish!" Lita called entering the house after John dropped her off. "Tirshy poo where are you?!"

"In here!" Trish called from the kitchen.

"Trishy! I have something to tell you!" She opened the kitchen door and saw someone else was in there as well. "Oh. Hey Jeff." She smiled at the blonde's boyfriend.

He smiled back at her. "Hey Lita. What's going on?"

"Um, nothing."

"So what did you have to tell me?" Trish questioned her friend.

"Um, nothing."

"Got the message." Jeff said getting up from the kitchen table.

"No." Lita started to say. "This can wait. You two enjoy your time together."

"It's okay. I had enough of Trish time for the day. And by the way you were shouting and smiling, it looks like it can't wait." He smirked at his girlfriend who just pouted at him. "See you later. I'll lock the door." He gave Trish a quick kiss and left.

"You two make me sick."

"Okay spill." Trish said ignoring her remark, pulling out the chair next to her so Lita could sit down.

"Okay. The test was wrong. I'm pregnant!"

Trish started to squeal in excitement. "OHMYGOD! I'm going to be Auntie Trishy! I can't wait to go shopping with you! I hope you're having a girl! It's fun shopping for girls! It's fun dressing them up."

Lita rolled her eyes. "I don't care what the gender is. As long as my baby is healthy, I'm fine with a boy or a girl."

"I hope you have twins!"

"What?"

"You said your doctor said it's not unusual for the pregnancy to end up in multiple births so it'll be fun if you end up having one of each! OhMyGod! Triplets are so cute! I hope you have triplets."

"Trish, I'm happy seeing your enthusiasm but you're not the one who's going to be pushing them out of yourself so maybe when you have kids, you can have multiples, yea?"

Trish rolled her eyes. "Anyways. Where's John?" Trish asked. "Why didn't he come inside? He doesn't usually just drop you off and leave you."

"He knows."

Trish looked confused. "He knows about what?"

Lita hesitated before she continued. "Christian."

Trish's eyes widened in shock. "Everything?"

Lita shook her head. "No, just the miscarriage part. And not wanting to have kids."

"Wow. How did he find out?"

"Dr. Moretti let it slip. Obviously she didn't know I was hiding this from people, so can't really blame her."

"And then you just told him?"

"Yup. Not everything though. It's not his business." Lita paused before she continued. "He thinks there's more."

"You're not going to tell him everything? What if he finds out himself?"

"He won't. How would he find out?"

"Maybe if he runs into Christian and asks him about this."

"Well, it's none of his business so he shouldn't ask him about anything." It was quiet for a few minutes. "So how's the fashion world?"

"Great! Oh this reminds me again of how excited I am to go shopping with you! We can get you some really cute and hot maternity clothes! And some really cute clothes for the baby! I'm so excited!"

Lita rolled her eyes. "Sorry I asked."

"Shut up. This is soooo exciting! We should should start the shopping now!"

"No we shouldn't. I don't like shopping."

"I know you don't. But I know you're excited to shop for the baby."

Lita smiled at the thought. "That I am. But that doesn't mean we need to start right away. Don't even know if it's going to be a girl or a boy and... we know what happened last time. I don't want to get ahead of myself and jinx this."

"Li," Trish said taking Lita's hands into her own, "that's not going to happen again. Last time you had a lot of stress especially with what happened with Christian and you didn't even tell anyone while you were pregnant but this time, I'm with you. You have me to vent and get everything out when you need to. No stressing this time okay. This time you even have John with you. He actually wants this baby with you too. It'll be great."

"I hope so."

Lita was at her parents house later that night. She asked Dave to be there as well, so he was there along with Victoria. She decided to tell them about what happened at her doctor's appointment that day. It didn't matter to her if John was there or not, but he decided since they broke the news to their parents about the plan together, that they might as well tell their parents about the pregnancy together as well. It was still a little bit awkward between the two after what he found out about her today. He knew it wasn't really his business but he couldn't help but think there was more to the story than she was letting on. The way she spoke about this told him there was definitely something else that went on.

"Well. Mom. Dad. Dave. Vicki. There's a reason why we are all here today." Lita started to say glancing between the four. "Remember how I took the home pregnancy test and it came out negative?" She continued when they all nodded. "Well," she started to smile, "It was wrong. I'm pregnant! I went to Dr. Moretti today and I had a blood test and the results show that the test was false and I'm pregnant!"

Her mom, Olivia, started to walk over to her and started hugging her and crying. "I'm so happy this is happening. I'm going to be a grandmother. I don't know how long those two," she said glancing at Dave and Victoria, "were going to make me wait"

Dave rolled his eyes. "Well, my little sister, who isn't married, nor is she is in a relationship, is knocked up and having a baby with an immature brat." He saw the way both John and Lita were looking at him. "No offense."

"Dave." Lita's father, Steven, started to say.

"Dad, I didn't say anything that you weren't thinking." Even though Steven wasn't Dave's biological father, he acted like he was and Dave was his own son. Dave's biological father died when Dave was only one year old. A couple of years later, Olivia met Steven, they got married, and Lita was born.

"You know what?," Lita started to say, "I'm not going to let you bother me today. Because I'm happy, I'm excited. So you can just pretend you're happy even if you aren't."

He got up from where he was sitting and walked over to his sister and hugged her. "You know I'm happy."

"Uncle Grumpy."

"Excuse me?"

"My baby can call you uncle Grumpy since you're grumpy all the time." She smirked at him.

Dave rolled his eyes. "We can think of something else. We still have time."

"So John," Olivia started to say, "when are you going to tell your parents?"

John looked at Lita who started to look around at the floor, her smile disappearing. "I'm gonna go on Saturday."

"Alone?" Dave asked cautiously. He knew how this was a touchy subject, but he didn't want his sister to go somewhere where he knew she was going to be uncomfortable and feel unwelcome.

"No." Lita spoke up before John could. "He came here with me so I'm gonna go with him." She looked at John who looked like he was about to protest but he didn't say anything, he assumed her parents didn't know what happened at his house a couple of months ago so he just kept quiet.

Dave was worried about his sister. He didn't want her to get stressed over something stupid that could be avoided. John knew that's what Dave was worried about so he made a mental note to tell Dave that he wouldn't let his father say anything horrible to her again.

*Saturday*

John and Lita sat waiting in the car. They were sitting in the car for about fifteen minutes outside of his parents house. "You didn't have to come." John said looking over at the red-head who looked nervous.

"I know." Lita replied

"Then why did you?"

"I don't know."

"We've been here for fifteen minutes. I saw my mom look outside the window twice. They know we're here. Are you ready to go?"

"No." She unlocked her door. "But I never will be so let's go."

John followed her out the car and to the front door. Apparently his mom was still watching from the window, she was waiting for them at the door. They exchanged pleasantries with one another with Lita entering the house reluctantly and cautiously.

"It'll be okay." John whispered from her side, squeezing her hand as a way of reassurance. They entered the living room which was not empty. John's father was sitting on the couch reading something. "Hi dad," John greeted his father.

John Sr., looked up from his newspaper. "Son. How are you?"

"Good."

"Oh Lita." John Sr. started to say looking up at the red-head. "I didn't see you there. How are you?"

"Um, hi. I'm fine." She was definitely nervous about encountering John's father after what happened last time.

"Look Lita." He put down the newspaper. "I would like to apologize for what happened last time you were here. I shouldn't have said what I said. I know you aren't using John for anything other than having a child with him. But I was out of line and overreacted. So I'm sorry for that."

"It's-"

"Don't say 'it's okay' because it's not. Just please forgive me."

Lita smiled at him. "I forgive you."

He smiled at her. "Won't you two take a seat? What brings you two here?"

John looked at Lita who looked back at him. "Well, no point in waiting," John said looking back at his parents, "she's pregnant."

His mom was having the same reaction her mom had when they told her parents. "But I thought you said that she wasn't?"

"Home pregnancy tests aren't always effective." John reminded her.

"Oh Lita." Carol said hugging the red-head. "I want to be in this baby's life. I know you and John aren't having this child under normal circumstances but I still want to be a grandmother to this child."

"Of course." Lita said smiling at Carol. "Just because John and I aren't having this child under normal circumstances doesn't make you his or her grandparent any less."

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.
