here is the next chapter. thank you for the awesome reviews and i'm trying to update as quickly as i can!

Before I knew it Christmas vacation was over. I had gone to the doctor the day before we went back to school and there definitely was a little alien inside of me. After that check up Squid and I went to a McDonalds where I scoffed down 2 quarter pounders and a large diet coke.

"You must be pregnant," Squid said as he watched me eat, "you're acting like you haven't eaten in days."

"I'm eating for two now," I reminded him. Suddenly I remembered something I had picked up at the store for him. "Oh dear, I got you something." I rummaged around in my bag for a few moments before grabbing the book. I dropped it on the table and squid looked at me, confused.

"What's that? You got me a book?"

"It's not just any book," I said, holding it up so he could see the title, "it's a book for future daddy's, like you!" Squid made a face as he took the book from me.

"Who needs a stupid book to tell them that the little tykes just poop, eat and sleep?" I laughed, even though it wasn't funny that he wasn't taking it seriously.

"Squid," I said, placing both of my hands on the table, "I just want you to be the best father you can be. It tells all about what to expect, how to do certain things and even how to support the mother," I added the last part in harsher and more stressed than the other reasons.

"Well, I'll read it I guess. I'll bring it to me to the gas station when there's nobody there." I took another bite before asking my next question.

"Oh yeah, how's the job going anyways. You've never talked about it since you first got it." Squid bounced his head a little, obviously lost for words on how to describe it.

"Not so great?" I asked, taking another huge bit from my second burger.

"It's definitely going to help pay for college," he said hopefully. He was about to say something but then stopped.

"What?" I asked but he shook off the question and stole one of my fries.

The first day back at school was anything but pleasant. It's not like people were mean about the baby, they were OVER nice. Random people I'd never even met were asking me how I was doing. I had a small band around my ring finger that people always stared at. It was a filler ring, as Squid called it, before he would actually get the real one. Even Lianne was nice to me that day, which was a first.

"Kelly!" she had said when she saw me at my locker that morning. "I heard about the, accident." I looked at her for a moment.

"I don't call them an accident," I said slowly before pulling a book out of my locker.

"Well then it was planned?" I shut my locker, harder than intended and turned to face her.

"No they weren't planned but it's not like they aren't wanted." Lianne raised her eyebrows.

"Well Kelly, there's some old parenting books in my basement from when I was born, would you like them." Then, she smiled at me. It was a genuine smile too. I was in utter shock. I slightly nodded and then she flounced off.

"Hello beautiful," Squid said from behind me, sneaking up to give me a peck on the check.

"Get a room," Chloe growled as she walked by with her man candy on her arm.

"Lianne is going to give me some parenting books," I said as Squid and I started walking towards the cafeteria, "I'm kind of excited to read them." Squid beamed.

"You're going to be an amazing mom," he said as we entered the café, "I can feel it."

"Dude, this baby is going to be the cutest baby," I added as we found a table, "but I'm praying it inherits your height." Squid laughed and waited for me to go buy lunch. It felt like the cafeteria scene from the movie JUNO. I grabbed one of everything and two chocolate milks. The look on the cashiers face was priceless.

"Big appetite today?" she asked while adding up the total.

"No, I'm eating for two now," I replied laughing as her eyes widened. I paid her and went back to the table where Squid immediately grabbed a chicken nugget.

"Oh I got those for you," I said shoving the container closer, "and take one of the milks."

Pregnancy is really boring and laborious. I started to notice my stomach getting bigger week by week. By the third month I had a little bump that was definitely noticeable under my normal clothes. So, I had to get bigger, bagger clothes. Truth be told, I looked like I aged 50 years too. I looked dumpy and a mess. My tummy was getting a pain to lug around and frequently vowed I would never get to be obese because I obviously couldn't take the pressure of all the weight.

I looked kind of silly in public. This short little petite girl with the little belly bump made even old lady's giggle a little bit. But hell, it was only the beginning of a long 9 month period.

yay, so here marks the beginning of the BIG journey kelly has to make.....dun dun dun :)
