A/N: Yay! Chapter 2! I didn't get alot of hits on this story...so I'm not sure it actually appeals to people but it is so amazingly fun to write, so I'm going to keep up with it. For the record, this says nothing about how I view the members of the illustrious Sector V. I love them all dearly and honestly hope they never end up like this :D haha

Chapter 2

The pattern of water drops from the shower interrupted my dreams. I looked over at the clock, 6:45. The friggin' shower had woke me up again. Hoagie came out of the bathroom, soaking wet. "Oh, you're awake," he noticed.

"Kinda," I replied. I gave him a once over. "Boy, why do not have a towel on?"

"Oh, well, when you and Kooks aren't up, we don't use them." Hoagie nodded at me like this made perfect sense. Maybe I wasn't really awake yet.

"You walk around naked?" I repeated.

"It saves towels!" he said.

I stared at him. "Well, can you please tell Wally I'm up before I see something I can never un-see?" I sat up and pulled on one of Hoagie's huge sweat-shirts. Hoagie is not as chubby as when we were kids, but he will always be 'big', and I like that. I was in the mood for some eggs, I realized as I walked over to the kitchen. I pulled out the skillet.

"I had cereal," Wally's voice said from behind me. I turned around. He had a towel, thank the lord. "Who said it was for you?"Hoagie appeared behind me and wrapped his arms around my middle. I leaned back to kiss his chin.

"Yeah, back off, Beatles," Hoagie added.

Kuki walked sleepily from the bedroom. "Hey, Kuki, want some eggs?" I asked, grinning at Wally.

Hoagie, Kuki, and I ate our eggs and then I went back to sleep. 7 was much too early to be awake. I woke up again at around 11. Wally and Kuki were out, but Hoagie, Nigel, Ace, and Patton were in the living room. On Saturdays, Hoagie only has one class, at 7:15, and then he is home for the rest of the day. There was a football game at the school, boys against girls. I was going to watch everyone else play and go with them to the after party. The game wasn't until 5, but I went to shower and get dressed. I was about to step out of the shower when Ace walked in to pee.

"ACE! GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE!" I screamed, covering myself with a towel.

"I have to pee," he said, lifting the lid of the toilet.

"There is another bathroom, genius!" I kicked his shin.

"Alright, ella esta loca." Ace slipped into his native tongue as he left the room. I might hate that boy if he wasn't so good looking.

"Shut up," I retorted. I probably should've showered in the bathroom with a lock. I dried off, got dressed, and went to have lunch. "There's never anything to eat here," I moaned. Finally, I found some pop-tarts in a cabinet. "How old are these?" I held them up so Hoagie could see them.

"Oh, man, you found my pop-tarts?" He hopped over the couch to come get one. Hoagie opened the bag to find a green mass of pop- tart remains. "Well, that's gross."

"I'm starving. We need to go to the store," I said peering into the empty fridge.

"My mom told me last week she was bringing us some food." Hoagie looked into the empty fridge as well.

"I need to eat. Don't make me use the pregnant card," I replied, giving a warning look.

"Let's go out to eat," Patton suggested. He looked like he had an awful hangover, serves him right for spilling that stupid beer.

"Best idea that fool's ever had." I pointed at Patton with my thumb.

"We should go to La Mesa, it's like this cheap restaurant on campus," Nigel piped in.

Patton laughed. "I think we should do exactly the opposite of what Nigel wants."

Hoagie, Ace, and I joined in. "I'm all for that," Hoagie added.

"Come on guys," Nigel pouted. We made fun of him a lot, it was bad. But he was a trouper.

"So, B-Dawgs. I'm glad we all agree on it," Patton decided. B-Dawgs was Patton's gangster name for a restaurant down the road called Bar and Grille.

"Where are Kuki and Wally, though?" I asked. The boys all shrugged. "I'm gonna call her," I decided. I walked into the bedroom where it was quieter.

Hoagie followed me in. "Why do you have to call Kuki?" He shut the door behind him.

"Well, I don't know. Ace walked in on Abby in the shower." I hadn't planned on telling him, but whatever.

"SAY WHAT?" Hoagie exploded. He left the room quickly to yell at Ace.

I turned back to my phone call. "Hey, where are you guys? We wanna eat," I asked.

"Walking in the door as we speak!" Kuki giggled. I heard the door swing open.

I walked out of the bedroom and grabbed Kuki by the arm. Her long, dark hair swung out behind her as I dragged her in to the kitchen. "What's the matter, silly?" she asked.

"Ace walked in on Abby in the shower today," I whispered to her. Wally was looking at us funny.

Kuki gasped, which made her features look cartoon-like. "What is with that boy and girls that are obviously taken?" She was referring to the crush Ace had on her for years that ended when he became good friends with Wally. We giggled about this for a while.

After lunch, everyone went home to get ready for the game. I decided to stay home because my back was bothering me again. I mostly watched TV and, of course, ended up falling asleep. The door slamming shut woke me. "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty!" Hoagie called. "Feeling any better?"

"I guess. How was the game?" I asked.

Hoagie kissed me on the forehead. "Well, all the guys were afraid to hit the girls so…we lost. However, we're having the after-party. So put your party face on, baby!"

I got up and went to go change. The pants I was wearing were too tight. I was running low on pants that fit; I'd have to buy some new ones. Kuki walked in the door and hung up her coat. "I need pants," I told her.

"Um, sorry?" She looked down at her tiny frame. Right, Kuki was smaller than me before I got pregnant even, that was stupid.

Hoagie was digging through the boxes that we kept our clothes in. He held up a pair of black sweat pants. "She can't wear those," Kuki exclaimed.

"They're fine," I said. I let Kuki decorate them while we waited for people to show up. The guys were first. Patton was already drunk. "We should invest in a tarp so he don't destroy our carpet," I said to Kuki.

"No kidding," she giggled. We were sitting on my mattress, which had a perfect view of the door and the party. After around 20 people arrived, we decided to go enjoy the party. Kuki went to find Wally.

"My pants!" A voice behind me cried out.

I turned around. "Hey, Abby's been looking for you!" And, what do you know; Hoagie was staring at my boobs again. "Boy, don't you start that again. Eyes up here." I smiled at him.

"Hey, preggers," Patton slurred. "Want something to drink?" It was almost impossible to believe Patton could be more idiotic when you saw him sober. Then you saw him drunk. I pushed him, he fell over.

I dragged Hoagie over to our bed. We sat down. "What's the best part about being pregnant?" he asked me. He was rubbing my back in small circles.

"Abby likes knowing the little one depends on her for everything. I hope I'm doing a good job, ya know?"

Hoagie nodded his head. "You're doing awesome, Abs. I know this wasn't how we wanted things to happen, but I'm so glad you are the way you are." He kissed me.

Around 1 or so, people started to clear out. I fell asleep to Hoagie rubbing my back. I woke up at noon Sunday morning, everyone was watching TV.

"Kuki, come here!" I called from the mattress.

She hopped off Wally's lap and walked over to me. "I didn't know you were up."

"The baby's kicking like crazy!" I pressed her tiny hand up against my small bump. "Hoagie, get over here."

"Oh, Lourdes!" Kuki sang. I rolled my eyes. "This is your Auntie Kuki and I love you!"

Hoagie pressed his hand up too and a smile broke out on his face. "That's so cool." Eventually, the baby stopped kicking and they walked back over to the couch.

"Have you guys eaten?" I asked. I walked over to the fridge with the hope that possibly over night we had acquired food. No such luck.

"No," Nigel responded.

"Wanna go to the grocery store with me, Kuki?" I walked over to the bathroom to change and wash my face. I stopped. "Where the heck is the door?" I exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah," Wally began. "It fell off the hinges last night while you were asleep." Kuki handed me and baggy shirt with beads all over it.

"How am I supposed to take a shower?" I asked her.

"I guess you have to wake up before the moochers show up," Kuki said. She pulled on her bright pink high-tops.

"And before Wally wakes up. Abby is not happy about this, girl." I pulled on the shirt and found some pants that weren't too tight.

"Well," Kuki smiled. "I can help you with the Wally issue." We stood by the door. "One of you boys needs to go shopping with us!"

"Yeah, right," Patton laughed.

"Do I need to remind you of the man outside the other day? He had a gun!" I said loudly.

Kuki, who had not heard this story, took in a sharp breath. "I'm living until I am one-hundred and that day is not today! One of you come with us RIGHT NOW!" Sometimes, I swear I can see fire in that girl's eyes when she is angry.

"Fine," Nigel sighed. He picked a sweatshirt off the back of a chair on his way over.

"Thanks, Nigel," Kuki and I chorused.

When we got back from shopping, I was tired considering we didn't have a car and I was carrying around ten extra pounds. "Abs, you're sweating," Hoagie noticed as he helped us with the bags on our way in.

I placed a hand on my belly. "I feel like I'm carrying about 50 million extra pounds."

By the time we had eaten, it was 4 and I was due for a nap. All the guys left after lunch. "Abby!" Hoagie yelled from the bathroom, waking me up.

I walked into the door-less bathroom. "Put some clothes on, boy! Kuki's gonna see you!" I tried to flatten some sticking up pieces of his auburn hair. He smiled at me and pulled me to him. "Stop it! You're getting me all wet!" I pulled a towel around him and exited the room with him in tow.

I stopped on the way to our mattress, realizing it was much too quiet. "Where're Kuki and Wally?" I asked.

"Oh, they left during your deep sleep." He put on boxers and a t-shirt.

I looked at the clock, it was 8. "I'm sorry I sleep so much, baby. I just get so worn out."

Hoagie took my face between his large hands and smiled. "Whatever's best for the baby, right? Anyway, they're getting books to study for finals with. They're bringing some home for me; I didn't want to leave you alone."

"Oh, OK. Do you wanna eat?" I realized that all I did these days was eat and sleep. Sweet.

Hoagie started fixing me a sandwich and I sat down at the table. I started slowly winding my hair into a braid. I wouldn't be able to watch TV; I'd have to find a book or something so I didn't disturb Wally, Hoagie, and Kuki from studying. "I think we should talk about names." I reached over to grab a notebook and pen.

"Hmm…Rainstorm Gilligan?" Hoagie suggested, glancing out the window.

"Funny," I responded sarcastically, "but, I do like Raine for a girl." I wrote it down.

"For a boy…not Hoagie. I'm putting that out there right now. No matter what my mother says, Abby, you can't give in. How about...Brady? I like that." He smiled.

I smiled back and added it next to Raine. "Brady it is." I set the paper down on the table and started to eat my sandwich. The paper sat on the table for weeks before anyone noticed it.
