Crazy Ride

Chapter 6

"I'm so excited!" Cat squealed at the lunch tables, unable to concentrate on eating her salad. Everyone else around the table was eating the burritos, but Cat settled on salad. She was 5 months pregnant now, and things have been going pretty smooth for the gang. Cat has not fallen or hurt herself, so that kept everyone at ease. Her mood swings weren't any better, but they shrugged them off since they knew she couldn't control them. "Today is going to be wonderful!"

"What time is the doctor's appointment?" Tori asked. "I want to go!"

"Only 2 people are allowed in the ultrasound room, Vega." Jade growled. "So obviously it's going to be me and Andre there."

"Okay, THAT'S not fair!" Tori snapped. "Obviously Andre's going in since he's the father, but why do you get to go in? Cat's my best friend!"

"Mine too!"

"But I have a heart!" Tori countered. "I'll actually respond to seeing the baby on the screen!"

Jade gasped with fire in her eyes. "I am very touched when I see the baby! It's such a beautiful sight!"

"I thought you said you like to go because you like playing with the goo they put on my stomach." Cat said innocently, making everyone laugh, except Jade.

Jade glared. "Thanks, Cat."

Cat blinked in confusion. "Um…you're welcome."

"HOLD ON A SECOND!" Robbie suddenly yelled, making the table freeze. "Frankly, I don't find this fair."

"Me neither. You're still here even when I want you gone. So no, life isn't fair." Jade said bluntly, cutting a napkin with scissors.

"What's not fair?" Andre asked.

"I have not gone ONCE to see one of Cat's ultrasounds!" Robbie pointed out. "I want to go today!"

"I haven't gone either." Beck shrugged. "I want to go today too."

"I'm sorry, but I think I misunderstood. Are you suggesting you two take our place next to Cat as she finds out if she's having a son or a daughter?" Jade asked in disbelief. The two boys nodded. "You two suck at playing jokes on us."

"We're not joking!" Robbie snapped. "We're going to be the kid's uncles, right?"

Cat nodded. "Yes, of course."

"Then we should be part of the experience." Beck said firmly.

"I'd rather you two not see my girlfriend while her shirt is up really high, thank you very much." Andre threatened.

Cat slapped his arm. "Andre, don't be silly. The only thing on me that's exposed is my pregnant stomach. Nothing else. And I think Robbie and Beck have a valid point."

Andre's eyes widened. "Cat! I am the kid's father! I deserve to be there when they tell you the sex of the baby!"

"Next time, sweetheart." Cat patted his shoulder.

Andre saw red. "WHAT?"

Cat ignored his anger and looked to the two anxious teenage boys. "You two can go with me today."

"Yes!" Robbie pumped his fist in the air as Beck smirked towards Jade's direction, since she was pissed about the whole ordeal.

Andre clenched his fists. "I'm going to pummel you two." He growled, making the other two boys gulp.

…

Beck helped Cat out of his car as she tried to balance herself, still not used to the extra weight on one side of her body. He put an arm around her waist to keep her steady as he helped her walk to the entrance of the doctor's building, with Robbie on the other side of her. "Do you think Andre was serious when he said he was going to pummel us?" Robbie asked curiously.

Cat nodded. "Oh yes. Very much so. This is his first child."

Beck shrugged. "Oh well. He'll get over it."

"Exactly my point." Cat agreed and the trio laughed about it.

Robbie jogged up to the doors and opened one of them for Beck and Cat. They walked into the lobby and walked towards the receptionist desk. Robbie went to find a place to sit, since it was pretty crowded. Beck stayed right next to Cat. Cat checked in and once she was done, she turned to Beck. "I have to pee." She said with a nervous smile.

Beck chuckled. "You're lucky we still have a good 10 minutes before we see the doctor." He led her over to the bathrooms. "Don't slip."

"I'll try not to." Cat joked as she walked into the lady's side. Beck leaned against the wall and waited, still freaked out to be in a place full of pregnant women and small children. He saw Robbie, one of the only males out there, sitting uncomfortable, waiting for them. Beck felt sorry for some of the women. Sometimes they don't have a man in their lives to bring with them. He bet they were jealous of Cat for having two. Finally Cat came out and gave him a sweet smile. "All better."

"Good." He led her to Robbie, who saved a seat, but that was the only one open. He sat her down and stood in front of them. "This is a big, but crowded place."

Cat nodded. "This practice is a very well known one. One of the best. Andre said that's all he wants is the best for me and his child, hence why we come here."

"Is it expensive?" Robbie asked curiously.

"Very." Cat said in a dead serious tone. "But Andre insisted on the best of doctors to care of me."

"Dang, he's going to spoil you." Beck chuckled. "Lucky, lucky girl."

Cat giggled. "You'll never hear me complain about it."

Robbie groaned as he slammed his head on the tinted window of the doctor's examination room, staring out into the busy streets of Beverly Hills. "Jeez, when is that doctor going to come in already?" He whined.

Beck was sitting lazily in one of the chairs next to Cat's side, raising an eyebrow at Robbie's desperation. Cat was lying down on the bed, quite comfortable too since she was half-asleep. "Chill out, Rob." Beck said, stretching a bit. "We've only been here for 20 minutes."

"The doctor is a very busy man." Cat said softly.

Robbie looked back at his two friends. "We've been in HERE for 20 minutes! We were out in the waiting room for 45 minutes! We have been here for an hour and 5 minutes!"

Cat suddenly had tears. "I'm sorry, Robbie."

Robbie eased up and walked over to the other side of Cat. "No, no, I'm sorry." He took her hand. "I'm just irritated when I'm bored."

Suddenly the door opened and a doctor and nurse came in. "Hello again, Miss Valentine." He greeted and then looked to the boys. "I'm Dr. Prescott. You boys are?"

"Her older brothers." Beck automatically said and Cat giggled. "I'm Beck." He said, shaking the doctor's hand.

Robbie was next with a cheesy smile. "Robbie's the name."

"Nice to meet you boys." The doctor did a quick check up on Cat, taking her vitals. "Alright, you're still a healthy girl."

"Yay!" Cat squealed. The Dr. Prescott chuckled as the nurse brought over a machine. They hooked it up and the doctor put some cold goo on Cat's stomach, rubbing it around. Cat giggled again. "It tickles." She told the boys, who smiled at her silliness.

The doctor turned the machine on and the screen was on. He took the controller and smiled towards Cat's older brothers. "Okay, boys, I bet you're new at this?"

Beck nodded. "First time seeing this."

"Let me explain what you'll be seeing." The doctor motioned to the screen. "On here, you'll see black and white everywhere. That'll be the inside of your sister's stomach. There will be a little, as some women call it, blob in the middle. That's the baby."

"My baby is going to look pretty though…or handsome." Cat looked anxious. "Either way, I'll be happy about it. Only my boyfriend wants a boy."

"I don't blame him. If he has a daughter as pretty as you, I'm sure she'll be a handful to keep the boys away. I'm sure the uncles here feel the same way." The doctor joked. He placed the device on Cat's stomach. "Alright, he or she will be on the screen right…there." He pointed. "There's the baby."

Beck's jaw dropped as Robbie almost had tears. "Oh my…Cat…it's beautiful." Robbie whispered.

"You can hear his or her heartbeat too."

And they did.

"Oh my god, this is life-changing right here." Beck said, still in awe.

Cat just waited with joy, excited to know if it was a boy or girl.

"Ooh, look at that." The doctor pointed to the baby's bottom. "See that thingy-ma-jigger. Miss Valentine, you're going to have a baby boy."

Cat gasped with happiness. "A boy! Oh how grand is that!"

Beck and Robbie were extremely happy as well. Beck leaned down and gave Cat a kiss on top of her head. "He's beautiful, Cat."

Dr. Prescott wiped the goo away from her stomach and Cat put her shirt down. "We'll be right back with the pictures." He smiled and the two walked out.

Cat suddenly looked saddened.

Mood swing?

"What's wrong, Cat?" Robbie asked with concern. "I thought you were happy you were having a boy."

"Please, don't get me wrong, I'm so happy about this." Cat almost had tears. "But…I'm afraid."

"Of?" Beck asked, not liking the fact the girl he was protecting was scared of something.

"The fact that this baby could look like…Ross." Cat's tears fell.

"I bet you anything, Cat, that this baby will look just like you." Robbie comforted. "I'll bet all the money in the world."

Cat smiled. "Okay. I'll believe you."

Preview for chapter 7

Cat clapped her hands with excitement. "Ooh, really? Oh, how nice of you guys! I'm so happy! You guys are so sweet to support the cause!" She wrapped her arms around Andre's neck and hugged him.

Andre wrapped his arms around her with an aggravated sigh. "Yeah…we're flippin' saints."

"Well, if we're going to do this, let's quickly decide on a stupid float so we can get that over with." Beck said, and everyone agreed. "Who's going to pick?"

"I say Cat, since she wants to do this the most out of everyone." Robbie said.

"Yeah, my pregnant model, what's it going to be?" Rex used his "smooth" voice, making Andre growl at him. "Don't hate the player, Andre, hate the game."
