A/N: Okay, so you guys who are guessing, I like your attitude. Thank you, but I'm not going to say there's no cheating… but I'm not going to say there is. But this is the final chapter. So, we begin!

Apology Accepted?

Chapter 5

Eleanor smiled as she packed the last of her things into her duffle bag. She was so happy to be going with Alvin and the rest of their family. It had been so long since they had taken a trip. The last time she had gone anywhere big was there trip around the world. So… I wonder why Alvin wanted to take this trip. I need to get a pregnancy test… It's probably a good idea after what happened with me and Alvin. Her mind drifted back to that night, the feeling of closeness, his skin against hers, the warmth and love of the moment. A knock at the door drew her out of her memories. "Come in." She called.

Jeanette poked her head inside and looked at Eleanor lovingly. "It's been two weeks." Jeanette stated. Eleanor had let Jeanette in on the fact that Alvin and she had had sex. Jeanette wasn't particularly happy with Eleanor's decision, but all the same she had agreed to be there the day of the pregnancy test. Eleanor nodded and looked up in time to see Jeanette toss her a blue box. Eleanor looked at it and smiled smugly.

"I'll be right back." She said, holding up the test and exiting the room. She walked to the bathroom slowly, the box tucked under her shirt. She entered the bathroom quickly and took the test out of the box. It felt odd in her hands, unnatural and cold. Inhuman. She quickly carried out the process of completing the test. She quickly hid the box and quickly ran to her room. Jeanette smiled as she ran back in the room and hopped onto the bed. Jeanette scooted close to her and looked over her shoulder. Eleanor held her breath for what seemed like hours. Jeanette gently shook her, reminding her how precious the oxygen was. She took a quick breath and stared at it again; Jeanette looked at the box and sighed.

"You have another minute to wait until the test gives you your result." Jeanette told her. Eleanor sighed and took another breath. The seconds ticked by slower and slower as the moment approached. Jeanette told a deep breath and both of their eyes went wide as the test beeped and showed in clear words 'pregnant'. Eleanor grabbed a hold of Jeanette as her legs got woozy.

"Jeanette." Eleanor managed to gasp. Her whole world began to spin around her. She was pregnant, with her one true love. Her heart melted as she sank you to floor. Tears flooded her eyes as Jeanette sunk to the floor with her, she rocked Eleanor.

"Eleanor… I'm so happy for you." Jeanette whispered, Eleanor looked at her and smiled.

"I have to tell Alvin!" Eleanor said, sudden realization hit her. Jeanette placed her hand on her shoulder.

"You should wait until he is here to tell him in person. This type of news is best delivered as such." Jeanette told her, Eleanor nodded.

Eleanor went back to her packing; she opened a drawer and saw a pair of red boxer shorts and smiled, blushed, and picked them up. Jeanette stuck her tongue out in disgust and Eleanor laughed. She folded them and stuck them in her bag for the trip. "Those bring back memories." Eleanor said to Jeanette. There came an angry knocked from the door, just as Eleanor was about to ask who it was, Brittany all but kicked down the door.

"How could you!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Eleanor backed against her dresser.

"Brittany…" Brittany crammed a hand over Jeanette's mouth.

"What have I told you a THOUSAND MILLION times!?" Brittany asked angrily. She let go of Jeanette and walked straight to Eleanor. She pulled the box out of her pocket and crammed it in her face. "What is this?!" She asked. Eleanor turned her head away from Brittany.

"Brittany..." Eleanor started. Brittany smacked her across the face. Jeanette gasped. Eleanor's eyes flooded with tears as she stood up. Brittany's eyes filled with fear as Eleanor's filled with rage. Eleanor pushed her back. Eleanor stood her ground. "Brittany, Alvin and I have consolidated our relationship on a level that you and Simon won't know for a long time." Brittany's fear turned to shock, both her and Jeanette's jaws dropped. Eleanor walked over to Brittany. Brittany looked at her angrily.

"Listen here, Alvin Seville is nothing but a womanizing, hypnotizing, life-stealing… Demon!" Brittany said. She glared at Eleanor, she raised her hand to smack her again and Eleanor slapped her across the face. Jeanette gasped as Brittany rubbed her cheek and looked at Eleanor in true disbelief.

"Listen to me! Alvin Seville loves me with all of his heart and if you can't get that through your thick skull then I don't know what more I need to tell you!" Eleanor told her, she pointed to the door and Brittany turned to leave. Jeanette stopped her and looked at Eleanor pleadingly.

"Ellie, you have to at least tell her." Jeanette told her. Brittany looked confused. Jeanette ran over to the trash can and pulled out the pregnancy test. Brittany's eyes went wide with realization. Her mouth turned itself into a concerned smile.

"Oh Ellie, I'm so sorry." Brittany told her. Eleanor's expression softened, but did not let down her defense. Jeanette and Brittany walked over and all three of them embraced each other in a warm hug.

"I love you guys." Eleanor said to them. Eleanor smiled and shooed the two of them as she started packing again. Her cell phone buzzed on her dresser. She dropped the shirt she was folding and picked it up.

"Eleanor, I can't wait for this trip,

It's going to be so amazing. I can't

Believe that after so long we are going to

Be able to be with our family travelling.

This might be better than when we smuggled

Those diamonds around the world. As a matter

Of fact, I know it will be. Because I will

Be able to spend most of the time on the trip with you."

Eleanor smiled as she read the text and then closed the phone. She finally finished her packing and gathered everything up. She toted it all downstairs and sat it by the door where Jeanette's two bags sat. She sat down on the couch and sighed. Brittany was complaining while she toted her bags downstairs. Eleanor rolled her eyes; she counted at least five bags. Brittany sat them by the front door as Eleanor heard the boys pull in. Eleanor's heart started to race. The front doorbell rang and Jeanette answered it.

"Hello boys." She said, she waved shyly at Theodore and the guys stepped into their living room.

"Hi Eleanor." Alvin said when he stepped through the front door past Jeanette. Eleanor stood and walked over to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a tight and passionate kiss. She pulled away gently, gasping for air.

"Alvin, come with me into the kitchen." She told him, breaking loose from his grasp and walking slowly over to the kitchen. Alvin followed her in toe. She pointed to a chair and he sat obediently as she sat across from him. "Alvin… I don't really know how to tell you this…" She looked away from him.

"You're not breaking up with me are you?" Alvin asked suddenly. Eleanor looked at him confused.

"No… Alvin… do you remember our first date?" She asked him. A smile crossed his face as he nodded. "Well… after that day… Alvin… Alvin, I'm pregnant." She smiled at him. His eyes went wide, not from shock to what Eleanor could gather it was horror.

"You're not joking with me are you?" Alvin asked incredulously. Eleanor shook her head and smiled, he stood up and she went to hug him. He held out his hand and stopped her. She looked up into his eyes. They were cold, lifeless. "Eleanor, I can't do this. I love you, but I'm nowhere near ready for a child." He kissed her on the forehead and back away from her. "I'm sorry." Was all he said before he turned. The rest of their family sat out in the living room and looked on in awe as Eleanor fell to her knees and started crying. Brittany and Jeanette ran to her. She held the door slam as Simon and Theodore ran over to comfort her. She heard the roar of an engine and the squeal of tires as Alvin peeled out.

**********

"Ellie, you have to give it up." Jeanette pleaded with her as she threw her phone across the room for the third time today. It had been six months since that fateful day that Alvin had disappeared from their lives. Not even Dave or the press knew where he went to. Eleanor slumped over on her bed. She cried, as she had done every day since. Jeanette ran her fingers through her hair. "Don't worry Ellie, he'll return when he's ready." Jeanette told her softly before looking at Eleanor's bulging stomach. She sighed and left her room.

"When will he be ready?" Eleanor asked, looking at her stomach.

A/N: I know, most of you must be ready to kill me right now… I am too. But there's a sequel, I promise. I'd never end on something that depressing. So look for the next for days when the sequel will start to rear its ugly head. P.S. It's about 13 years in the future from the end of this.
