A/N: Okay, this chapter deals a little with how Tori and Jade's relationship progresses. I also put bits and pieces of "Okay" the Backhouse Mike song that made Andre fall for Jade. I am having Vegas Valentine cover it. Especially since now I know where it comes from

Anyways, Review!

Tell me what you really think—S.K.

Count on me

Tori

There is no upper hand

I'm giving you mine

It doesn't have to end up

Wasting your time

There's things that I could say,

But hear it my way,

I want to let you know

That it's all okay

I sit in a trance listening to Jade's haunting voice. She transforms when she sings. And even though THIS song made Andre fall in love with her, I can see why. We are all falling in love with her, and it's all okay.

Things were beginning to feel really natural for Andre and I. We drove to school in the morning, kissed in the car, and then walked side by side into the school. We went our separate ways until we met in the hallway to get to Sikowitz class. Then we hit up the Asphalt, and then separated again for some other classes, and we had play rehearsals, then all of our friends would convene at our house to work on our music.

Things could not be better. Even with Jade and mine's relationship. I mean now that she knows I could care less about taking her man, she and I get along much better. Don't get me wrong; I still annoy her, but I trust her better.

This night, however, Jade didn't seem to be concentrating very well. So we kind of stopped rehearsal early and everyone just hung out in the theater. I headed up to the kitchen to get some popcorn and Jade and cat came up to help me take a couple of bowls down.

Cat grabbed a bowl full of popcorn and headed to the theater. Jade stood back and leaned on my kitchen counter. "Do you have any pregnancy tests?" She said a bit nonchalantly. I nearly dropped my bowl full of popcorn.

I turned to face my friend. I had learned to read her, because she had let me see her rawness, I knew what she looked like when she felt a certain way. "I may…" I signal her to follow me to the master bedroom. I reached out for the last test I bought. Andre and I had a bit of a scare… even with my IUD things aren't 100%. I handed her the last of them. "Do you want me to wait with you?"

"NO." She yelled, then she sighed, "yes, please wait with me."

"Okay, I'll just be in my room." I head out and sit on the bed crisscross applesauce. I waited for her to tell me what she needed to say. If she needed to vent, I would be here for her. I understood where she was. Only the month before I was telling her I had gone through a similar thing. I supposed she felt safe enough to trust me with this.

"FUCK." I heard coming from the bathroom. Jade, as nasty as she could be, never really cursed unless she was really worked up. She once, told me it was a sign of a weak mind and low vocabulary. She must have been at a lack of a better word.

I walked back into the bathroom to see her stare at the stick; as if staring at it long enough would change the results they held. "It will be okay…" I said knowing full well what the results were. I didn't have to look, nor did I have to ask. Jade would not have even done this if she didn't think that this was actually happening to her. We know our bodies; we just take these tests in the hopes that we might be wrong.

"No it won't!" Jade snaps. I really don't care at this point I know she needs a friend so I become that.

"What are you thinking?" I ask softly and sit on my toilet. She slides down the wall and drops to the floor.

"I'm not thinking," Jade said softly. "The thoughts are jumbled and all I can think is, Vega better keep her mouth shut." She looks up at me, "But I know you will."

"Yes, I will." I conceded.

"What should I do?" Jade asked sincerely.

"I can't tell you what to do, the only thing I can say is you have to look at the options." I sat down, "No one can tell you what to do with your body."

"Come with me to the planned parenting clinic tomorrow." That was an order, and I knew it.

"What about Beck?" I asked.

"I don't need him to be involved in this." She said.

"But Jade…"

"I thought you said that no one could tell me what to do with my body." She said standing up and raising her voice.

"What makes you think he'd try to tell you anything? He never has before." I answered. "He is the father of your baby."

"WHAT BABY!" she shouts, "after tomorrow there won't be a baby. That is why I asked you to come with me… You know what, never mind."

"No Jade, wait…" I said following her out of my bathroom. "Okay, I will come with you, and I won't say another word about it."

"You swear?" She asked, stopping in front of me.

"Absolutely." I said and wrapped my arms around her. I felt her relax into the hug even though she didn't hug me back. She took a little bit to compose herself then took a deep breath.

"You can let go now Vega." I did as she asked. "Thank you." She murmured and we headed downstairs to rejoin our friends.

Andre

Beck looked a little off. He was my bud I knew I needed to talk to him. I waited till Tori, Jade, and Cat headed upstairs to get popcorn to broach the subject. "What's up Beck?"

Beck looked at me then around and saw that there were only us guys down in the theater, and Robbie was busy at the projector trying to find a movie. "This is all your girlfriend's fault."

"What?" Andre asked, "What girlfriend? I don't have a girlfriend."

"I mean, Tori…" Beck said exasperated. "Do you remember last month when Jade kissed her?"

I felt a smile come to my face, I remembered it well, I remembered that night too… after Beck and Jade left our house Tori and I finished what we had started at the black box. "Oh yeah… I remember."

"After we left the Black Box, Jade pulled me into the janitor's closet… and we may have taken it a bit too far."

"Wait you protected yourself right?" I asked.

"Yes… but when we were done… I couldn't find it."

"What?" I said startled. I hadn't ever really thought about it because I can't actually remember me or Tori worrying about condoms, the first time was a mistake, and by the time we did it again, she was already pregnant.

"I am so scared that she could be pregnant because of a stupid moment of weakness."

"So what now?" I asked as Cat bounced down to the theater, popcorn in hand.

Beck shrugged. "I guess now I wait to see what happens. I should know soon what would happen." We lean back and begin to watch the movie that Robbie picked. It was an old movie, American Pie. Cat and Robbie are sitting next to each other. And slowly you can see the two kind of getting closer. Cat places her legs over Robbie's. Rex has been relegated to the corner. Every once in a while you can hear him laugh at the things that are going on in the screen.

Beck and I were quiet because we figured our ladies would follow Cat down, but when they didn't we kind of looked at each other and decided to go see what was holding them up.

When we got to the kitchen, we saw the bowls of popcorn on the counter but no Jade and Tori. We walked toward the living room and ran into them coming down the stairs from the bedrooms. "We'll go tomorrow after school, and then we can come here right after for rehearsal." Jade stated.

"Great," Tori said and turned Jade around.

When her eyes fell upon us, Jade rolled her eyes and grabbed Beck's hand. "Lets get out of here I'm tired."

"Bye," Tori said and then turned to me. She smiled and takes my hands. "Let's go watch the movie."

"Okay," I said and followed her to the popcorn. We grabbed the bowls and headed to the theater. I kind of bumped into her because she stopped at the entrance of the theater. She covered her mouth and turned to me. "What's up?" I whispered.

"Shhh…" She has me peek at Cat and Robbie, were having a heavy make out session. She goes around me back to the living room.

I followed her, Tori jumped excitedly for Cat and Robbie. "I can't believe it!"

"Well it was bound to happen sooner or later." I said sitting on the sofa.

She began to pull me back up off of the sofa. "No, come on…"

"Baby," I said allowing her to pull me up.

"Baby…" she said, and then I got that look. All thoughts on how tired I was disappeared.

"Okay, I'm with that." I said and goosed her. She jumped a little then ran up to our room giggling a bit. Once in the room I held her in my arms and kiss her deeply. Then my thoughts turn to Jade and Beck. "Baby, do you think we should start using condoms too… just in case?"

She looked at me and ran her fingers through my hair. "If you think that's necessary."

"Beck lost a condom while making love to Jade... Now he is afraid that she's pregnant."

Tori's eyes widened.

"I had no idea…" She moved away from me and just sat next to me for a minute. "Well… we don't have any of those Andre, should we stop until you get some?"

I looked at Tori, She is not necessarily dressed in super sexy lingerie, but she has that fresh girl next-door look that makes me want to touch her. I leaned forward and kissed her neck. "I'll go tomorrow." She laughed and leaned back in the bed. "Right now, I have to have you." And she let me touch her all night long.
