Nikki and Jonesy sat at the dinner table at the Garcia-Masterson house sullenly.

"What's the matter with you two?" Diego teased.

"Yeah, you two have been acting pretty weird all week." Jen asked, a little concern in her voice.

"We're fine heh…" Jonesy stated awkwardly.

Nikki just sighed. "Please excuse me Mrs. Masterson… I mean Garcia."

"Sure Nikki…"

"Awkward." Robbie rolled his eyes.

"I'm getting up too, mom." Jen rose and joined Nikki in the living room. "What's up girl, you and Jonesy fighting?"

"Ummmm yeah. We're fighting." Nikki let out a nervous chuckle.

"You're lying." Jen proceeded to give her the eye.

"Jen I can't talk about it right now. I'm sorry but…" Jonesy walked into the room. "Jonesy!" Nikki jumped up, "I need to talk to you!"

"Okay…"

"In private!" Nikki grabbed him by the ear and led him upstairs to the room. "We can't keep this a secret forever, even if I can hide the bump behind baggy clothes for the next thirty-four weeks, what then, I show up with a baby? Yeah that will go over real well."

"I didn't think of that…"

"And you haven't even been looking for a job! You haven't had one since the day I bought the test, and that was three days before I had the nerve to pee on it!!!"

"Nikki this is all too hard to take in right now. I need to digest it."

"I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A MISTAKE!" Nikki yelled.

"No, it's not, it's just not real to me yet… I promise once I see the ultrasound or hear the heartbeat, I will shape up so fast. I promise…. Just bear with me."

"How do I know this Jonesy? You don't understand, you may think you're going through this, but I'm LIVING it. This little.. Thing growing inside of me is a part of me, it may not be real to you, but it's more than real to me." Nikki turned away from him, and then heard the floor boards behind Jonesy's door squeak. She opened the door, and to her dismay, Robbie and Diego were standing behind the door with cups, looking mortified.

"Dude…. I'm sorry…." Diego's eyes looked sincere.

"DADDDDDDDD!!! EMMMAAAA!!!!!" Robby ran down the stairs. Jonesy took off after him, getting him at the top of the stairs and putting him in a headlock.

"You shut your mouth Robbie! You don't say anything." But it was too late, Emma and Mr. Garcia ran up the stairs with baby Kylie.

"What is the meaning of this!" Mr. Garcia yelled. "You let your brother go!" Jen walked up behind her step father, not wanting to miss out on the commotion.

Nikki pensively stepped out of the room and looked at her hands while twiddling her thumbs.

"Dad! Dad!" Robbie gasped, catching his breath.

"I'm pregnant." Nikki whispered, choking back tears.

"Excuse me Nikki?" Emma looked up, shock in her eyes.

"I'm pregnant. Six weeks. We're keeping it." Nikki still didn't look up.

"OH MY GOD!" Emma and Jen gasped.

"Madre de Dios!" Jonesy's dad yelled, and put Jonesy in a headlock. "What were you THINKING!"

"Dad… dad stop!" Jonesy yelled. "I'm sorry! We don't know how it happened! It just…. Happened."

"How dare you shame our family like this! In my house! You both are sixteen!"

"Nikki, honey, do your parents know?" Emma put her hands over Nikki's.

"No, we wanted to sit you all down together after my first appointment." Nikki still wouldn't look at anyone.

"When is that?"

"I haven't made it yet…"

Jen went over to Nikki and hugged her. "I didn't know you guys were even… you know… active." she blushed. "I won't tell anyone."

"No, no go ahead. I'd rather them just know then to have to go over THIS awkward scene again. I just don't know how to face my parents."

Jonesy's dad let him out of the headlock. "We will sit down with you, make a dinner date next week. You're going to need as many people in your corner as you can get with your parents. I know it will not go down smoothly."

"Thanks… Look I'm gonna go, you all have a lot to talk about."

"Bye Nikki…" everyone chimed in, disillusioned.


Nikki and Jonesy sat down at the table by the Lemon and braced themselves.

"So… you guys have any news to share with us?" Wyatt raised an eyebrow.

"Guys, can we just not talk about it. We know you know and that's good enough. Maybe when I'm huge and glowing we can talk about it but not now. It's still too new. I gotta go to the Tacky Barn now, I'll see you."

"Duuuuuuuude." Jude shook his head, "you're in for it now."

"You think I don't know, there is a four month old screaming terror living in my house!" Jonesy waved his hands wildly. "But I love Nikki and that's my baby in there and I'm going to try."

"Caitlin you're being quiet…" Jen chimed in.

"I'm in shock. I always thought I would be the one in this predicament." She chuckled.

"I wish you were." Jonesy banged his head on the table. Jen put her arm around him.

"Jonesy, I have to get to work, but if you need to talk I'm here and so is my mom. Your dad… maybe not so much… I'll see you later"

"Awwwwwwwwwwww!" Jonesy groaned.

"I gotta go too Jonesy!" Caitlin put on her lemon head and walked to her station.

"Duuuuuude. This is why you got to wrap it up, bro! Chicks are like fish, you gotta keep them separated."

"Yeahhh…."

Wyatt clapped Jonesy on the back. "Call me anytime man. I gotta go."

"Duuuuude." Jude stood up "See ya broham."


Nikki rushed back to the back of the store and hugged the trash can to throw up in it.

"EWWWWWWWW!" The clones all piped in unison. "Nikki!!!!!"

"I'm sorry guys, I have the stomach flu."

"I heard she threw up three times in psychology alone." Kirsten chirped.

"She's soooooooooooo preggers!" Chrissy squealed.

"OH MY GOD!" The clones all screamed and stared at her through the doorway.

"Nikki! You so went Juno on us!"

"WHAT!!" Nikki jumped up.

"You've been throwing up all day, and even now. I know the signs, my cousin had all day sickness too. Bummer."

"I SAID I HAVE THE STOMACH FLU!" Nikki screamed. "OUT, ALL OF YOU! BEFORE I KILL YOU ALL!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" The clones screamed and ran out of the doorway.

"Somebody kill me." Nikki sighed and threw up again.


"Good afternoon Mrs. Wong, Mr. Wong…" Jonesy smiled. His step-mother and father walked in behind him with their own greeting. It was the night of the big day, and everyone was nervous. Nikki moved across the room and gestured everyone to sit down. Everyone was dressed up, including Nikki. She was wearing jeans and a green blazer, Jonesy was in slacks and a dress shirt.

"So what's the occasion? Are you going to ask our Nikki's hand in marriage?" Mr. Wong chuckled.

"Not until she finishes university!" Mrs. Wong piped in good naturedly. Everyone else chuckled nervously. The dinner was beautiful, the main course was roast beef with potatoes and asparagus.

"This is a great dinner Mrs. Wong!" Jonesy smiled.

"Yeah mom, you really did yourself in." Nikki pushed her food around, and looked down at her feet the whole time. Emma laughed nervously and squeezed her husbands hand.

"Well I'm glad we all had a chance to sit down." Mrs. Wong said bitterly, changing the mood with her words. "Let's get down to brass tacks." She pushed a paper towards the middle of the table, towards Nikki. Nikki picked it up and immediately put it down.

"Oh God…" Nikki closed her eyes. "Oh God mom!" she handed the paper to Jonesy.

"Nikki you had it sent to the house! Ohhhh man!" He smacked his forehead. In his hands was her 'First Prenatal Appointment Reminder on November 21st with Dr. Gomes.' And her parents read it! And now they knew. Everyone knew. Jonesy's step mother and father looked around perplexed. "Emma, dad, this is Nikki's first prenatal appointment reminder… the Wong's know." There was an awkward silence which seemed like forever.

"Well…" Emma started, looking at Mrs. Wong, "What now?"

"What now! What now! I will tell you what now! Nikki is moving to the states to be with my sister and giving that baby up for adoption! She will finish this year out in high school, and then we will drive her to Minnesota with my sister where that baby will be adopted out. And your son in the mean time is not to see our Nikki."

"Mother you bitch! I won't. I can't! I would rather be homeless than to give this baby up!" Nikki got up from her seat and stormed out the front door.

"Mr and Mrs Wong, with all due respect, we will take Nikki in. Our son and your daughter are dead set on raising this child and I would never want them to do something they may regret. Having a child at seventeen is not ideal, but they will have this child and they will do a damn good job!" Emma yelled. She stared Mrs. Wong straight in the eye and didn't falter.

"Easy for you to say, your 'son' isn't a straight A student. This may be the best he can do with his life, having a child at seventeen, but not our Nikki. She could have a future." Mrs. Wong also didn't break eye contact. Jonesy looked around uneasily, before heading after Nikki.

"Well then, we officially move Nikki in this weekend. For the next two days, she will stay with us until my wife and I can come get her things. Is that understood?" Mr. Garcia joined in, for the first time since he found out ready to truly be a grandfather.

"Fine. But from now on she is your problem and our disgrace." Mr. Wong said apathetically.

"Well I can see we have outstayed our welcome. We will be back to fetch Nikki's things this Saturday. Good day to you both." Emma and Mr. Garcia both stood up and headed toward the front door.

*************************MEANWHILE**********************************

"Nikki!" Jonesy yelled after her. She stopped, and hung her head, obviously crying. "Nikki please. I love you and I don't care what your mother or father say, this is our child and not theirs. They said that the only reason my parents agreed to keep this baby was because they knew I wasn't doing anything with my life, and that you actually had a future…"

"Jonesy…" Nikki interrupted.

"No, no let me finish. It's true, you do have a future Nikki, and I ruined it by getting you pregnant. So if you want to have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption then I would understand. I will be here for you no matter what decision you make."

"Oh, so is that what you want Jonesy? You want me to give this baby up!"

"No!!! Nikki you don't understand. I meant that I wont stand in the way of your perfect future, because your parents have a point." Jonesy looked down at the ground, and a tear fell off his cheek.

"Jonesy, this is my future. This baby, and you." Nikki took his head in her hands, and their tear stained eyes met. He leaned down to kiss her and she met his kiss. "I love you." She shared when they broke off.

"I love you too Nikki, and I want this baby more than anything I have ever wanted." Just then Emma and Jonesy's dad huffed out of the Wong House.

"Nikki, you are staying with us." Emma stated harshly. "We are picking up your personal belongings on Saturday. Right now we made off with enough clothes to last you until Sunday, provided from your mother. Now get in the car." The family went in, and no one said a word the whole way home.
