On The Way Down
´Chapter 1´

Chris loved to walk to school even though he has a car of his own, the only time he didn't walk to school was if it was storming or there was a lot of snow but that hardly ever happened in San Francisco. It was an additional plus that he didn't live too far away from school, only about twenty minutes. After a couple days of feeling exhausted and nauseas he finally decided to go to the free clinic to find out what was wrong with him, even though he had an idea.

Wyatt and himself had been too caught up in the bliss of orgasm to even realize that Wyatt didn't pull out and that he flooded Chris with his seed but there was nothing they could do about it. They stayed together for about another week before they finally decided to break-up, or until Wyatt decided that they should break-up.

A sigh left Chris's lips as he forced himself to relax before he entered the clinic and made his way to the front desk and wrote down his name. He was grateful that he decided to leave nearly a half an hour early since there were quite a few people waiting. Chris walked over to an empty seat and sat down between a pregnant woman and a man with a baby on his lap and felt very nervous suddenly and was tempted to leave.

He'd thought about buying a pregnancy test but he knew that they weren't always correct and couldn't take it home with him, knowing his luck someone would find out about it and if he wasn't pregnant he'd still get the disappointed talk from his parents about having sex and really didn't want to have to deal with that. He also thought about going to the doctor's to get a pregnancy test but since his father was a doctor that quickly ruled that out and now he's in a free clinic surrounded by pregnant people and small babies.

"Chris Perry."

"Well that was certainly quick." Chris thought as he stood up and followed the woman back to a room and was told to sit on the table.

"So, what can I do for you?" she asked and Chris bit his lip as he hesitated to tell her and the woman seemed to notice. "Don't worry, no one else has to know anything."

"I need a pregnancy test." Chris finally said and she nodded but didn't look very surprised. Probably because they got a lot of teenagers coming in and out needing them and she quickly left the room and Chris left out a breath as he looked around the room and noted the light blue walls and the wallpaper at the top with fire trucks on it.

Chris numbly walked into Home Economics and sat down on a stool as he thought everything over. Pregnant. He was pregnant and to make things worse the baby belonged to Wyatt Halliwell, his ex-boyfriend. Meaning he would either have to have an abortion or raise the baby without a father and he knew it would be the latter since he couldn't even think about killing an innocent baby, after all it's not like it had any say in its conception; it was innocent in the situation.

He was deep in his thoughts when his best friend Tyler Sullivan flicked his ear and Chris immediately scowled at him and rubbed his sore ear before he let out a sigh and opened his book. Chris once more zoned off and didn't even notice the teacher until she called out a name, which made him look up at her and saw she was looking at a list.

"What are we doing?" he whispered to Tyler, who raised an eyebrow at him and he only rolled his eyes. Tyler was usually the one to ask that question and Chris always got to be a smartass about it.

"Oh how the tables have turned," Tyler said with a smirk. "Project, she's gonna give us a paper about everyone once we're in pairs."

"Ok thanks," Chris said as he listened for his name and his eyes went wide with horror when the teacher paired him off with Wyatt Halliwell. Wyatt glanced back at him for a second before he looked at his girlfriend next to him when she squeezed his hand while giving him an apologetic look that made Chris want to slap her. "She's such a whore."

"What's with you today?" Tyler asked with a grin. "I like it, maybe you should consider being like this every day."

"Oh shut up, Ty!" Chris exclaimed loudly and blushed when everyone looked at him. He quickly covered his face as he looked down at his book, suddenly interested before the teacher slowly began reading the rest of the names and Tyler groaned when he was paired with Lucien Roberts, Wyatt's best friend.

"Why in the hell do I have to be with Lucien? I mean, the guys a total fucktard." Tyler whined and Chris only rolled his eyes in response as he closed his book.

"At least it wasn't Brittany or Lindsey." Chris said and Tyler instantly nodded his head. Brittany McMann and Lindsey Taylor followed McKenzie Piper – Wyatt's new girlfriend – everywhere and Lindsey was even considering getting a nose job just like Kenzie's since her father is a plastic surgeon. Chris wasn't one to be stereotypical but they blew him out of the water and how well they acted like the dumb cheerleaders. Too bad Brittany was a brunette...for now anyways.

"Goodbye Christopher. If I shall not return, tell my mommy I love her." Tyler said once the teacher finished and Chris only laughed at him as Tyler made his way towards Lucien and Chris bit his lip when he saw Wyatt walking towards him before he dropped his bag near the seat and sat down before looking at Chris.

"Hey," He said and Chris only nodded without really looking at him. "So, um, how are you?"

"Well, I am pregnant with your baby but other than that, pretty good!" Chris thought. "Pretty good, what about you?"

"I'm good."

"That's good." Chris murmured as the teacher placed a piece of paper on the desk in front of them and walked off. Chris was the first to grab it and he nearly groaned when he saw what it was; the teacher wanted them to film each other, asking questions and getting to know each other. "At least it isn't an electronic baby."

"What is it?" Wyatt asked before Chris handed him the paper and he quickly skimmed it over before making a face. He set down the piece of paper and glanced up at the teacher as she explained how to work a camcorder and nearly everyone blocked her out. Honestly, who doesn't know how to work a camcorder?

Suddenly, Chris felt a wave of nausea wash over him and quickly covered his mouth before darting from the room, ignoring the cries of the teacher and rushed straight to the bathroom to empty his stomach. He sat back on his butt once he was done and wiped his mouth and nearly gagged at the salty taste in his mouth before he took a couple deep breathes and slowly looked down at his stomach.

"You just love making me sick, huh?" he couldn't help but whisper before he slowly stood up so he didn't get sick again and stood there for a couple moments before flushing the toilet and washing his hands and mouth out. "Man, I need my toothbrush."

Chris's eyes went wide when his toothbrush orbed into his hand and he could only stare at it for a couple moments before getting it wet to quickly brush, almost hoping his toothpaste would orb as well but wasn't so lucky. After he was finished he wasn't sure what to do with it so he slipped it into his pocket and looked at his reflection before he rubbed his face. He looked horrible.

He slowly made his way back to the classroom and was immediately ushered into the hall and got a lecture from the teacher before he was allowed back into the classroom and was told to sit down and apologize to the class for disrupting them. Chris rested his chin in the palm of his hand as he closed his eyes and almost fell asleep but Wyatt had to gently grab his shoulder and gained his attention.

"Are you ok, you looked like you were gonna get sick." Wyatt asked with actual concern in his eyes and Chris only nodded his head but Wyatt didn't look like he believed him. Chris focused on the teacher for the rest of the period before the bell rang and Chris quickly left the room without saying another word to Wyatt or waiting for Tyler. He just needed to get out of that classroom.

«««««»»»»»

Any other night and Chris would have been thrilled to babysit his nephew and nieces but tonight he just wanted to crawl into bed and die. Since he got home he'd already puked eight times and was absolutely exhausted and didn't have nearly enough energy to deal with hyper little kids who wanted to play with their Uncle Chris. Chris frowned when the doorbell rang before he forced himself to stand up and immediately had four little kids following him to the door, along with his brother.

He was surprised to see Wyatt Halliwell standing there with Lucien Roberts right next to him. James sneered at Wyatt and tried to look tough but it didn't exactly work for him and left Chris to roll his eyes before he looked at Wyatt.

"Can I help you with something?" he snapped and Wyatt looked surprised at the tone of his voice before Chris sighed and rubbed his face. "Sorry, what is that you need?"

"Uh, I thought we were gonna work on our project...remember?" Wyatt asked and Chris nearly groaned when he remembered that he had promised Wyatt they could work on it after school and had also said that Lucien and Tyler could come over as well; of course, he'd forgotten that he was babysitting.

"Right, come in," Chris said as he moved to the side and lifted Emily out of the way and set her next to Kyla. Wyatt and Lucien stepped inside and looked around at the five kids but didn't say anything but they didn't look to comfortable with James glaring at them. "Jamie, can you take them upstairs and keep them up there?"

"No, they're fine down here," James said and Chris gave him a pointed glare to remind him who the big brother was. "I'm staying down here Chris. If you want them up there then you have to go up there too."

"Whatever." Chris said as he purposefully pushed his brother as he walked past him and into the living room with Wyatt and Lucien following. When they made it into the living room the door burst open and Tyler ran inside and headed straight for Chris with a wide smile on his face as he held up a piece of paper and Chris gave him a confused look.

"Can't you read!?" he shouted and Chris rolled his eyes.

"Can you say dramatic, it's a skateboarding competition, big deal." Chris said with a shrug and he watched Tyler pout. He knew Tyler was in love with skateboarding and liked to think that he'd be a pro one day and Chris didn't have the heart to tell him that it probably wouldn't happen.

"Chrisssss..." Tyler whined. "You have to promise to be there, my good luck charm."

"Right, I promise. Sit down, we need to start." Chris said and Tyler seemed to notice Wyatt and Lucien for the first time and sat down before he looked at James and snapped his fingers at him while James scowled at him.

"Jimmy-boy, go get me a soda." He said and James's eyes narrowed at him before Chris jerked his thumb towards the door and James huffed before he got up and did as he was told. Kara made her way over towards Lucien and climbed onto his lap while the 17-year-old looked very uncomfortable with a toddler on his lap. Chris was about to get her when Aiden rushed over and pulled his cousin off of the stranger and over towards her sister before sitting down next to them while staring at the two 'intruders.'

"So, um, are they your brother and sisters?" Wyatt asked since he'd never met them before or really heard about them while they were dating.

"James is my brother. Aiden is my nephew and Emily, Kyla, and Kara are my nieces," Chris said and Wyatt nodded before James came in with five sodas and handed one to Chris before throwing the rest at Tyler, Lucien, and Wyatt. "James..."

"What?" he asked innocently. "I was just giving them their sodas."

"Don't play innocent with me. Go do your homework and leave us alone, ok?" Chris asked as he got out the camcorder from his book bag on the couch and then the paper as Lucien did the same and James frowned.

"I already did it."

"Don't lie to me James, go get your homework and get it done or I'll call mom and dad." Chris said and James hurriedly left the room to get his homework before returning to the room and sat down at the coffee table in front of the couch and started up at Chris.

"Chris!" Kyla shouted as she pointed at Aiden with a wrinkled nose. "He icky!"

"That's great, Ky." Chris said as he wanted the night to be over just as Wyatt's phone rang. He quickly took it out and answered and Chris almost gagged when he realized it was McKenzie checking up on him like he was a baby.

"Um, hang on Kenz," Wyatt said as he moved the phone from his ear and looked at Chris. "Would you mind if Kenzie, Brittany, and Lindsey came over to work on their project too?" Chris was about to say yes when he found himself looking at Wyatt's big brown eyes and prayed to god that their baby didn't get them.

"Uh, sure." Chris said and Tyler gave him a pointed glare, clearly asking what in the hell was wrong with him. Chris looked away from him as Wyatt gave him a smile before telling his 'girlfriend' that they could come over and talked a little bit more before hanging up his phone.

"Thanks Chris," Wyatt said as he gave him a grin. "I know it may be a bit awkward and all..."

"No, of course not, I mean, we're over." Chris said with a shrug and Wyatt nodded with a smile.

"Kill me now."
