Crazy Ride
Chapter 10
Andre yawned as he sat down at the gang's usual table, where everyone was already there except for Cat and Robbie, who were getting books from their locker. Andre put the tray in front of him, and there was a bowl of spaghetti on there for him and a plate of salad for Cat. A soda for him and a bottle of water for his precious girlfriend. Poor Andre wanted nothing more than to go back home and curl up in bed to sleep some more.
Jade raised an eyebrow. "Why do you look disgusting?"
Andre glared through his sleepy eyes. "I had to get up kind of early this morning."
Tori looked away from her bowl of ravioli to Andre. "Why?"
"Cat was craving a hotdog, but they had no hotdogs to put in the bun. I still don't understand why they had buns, but no hotdogs. Anyways, she called me at 5 in the morning and made me go to the 24 hour store across town and bring it to her. I stayed with her and watched her eat 3 hotdogs, but she put chocolate syrup and pickles on there with the hotdog and bun." He cringed. "Her cravings are really freaking me out."
Beck stared at him in disbelief. "She put chocolate syrup and pickles on a hotdog?" Andre nodded. "That is the grossest thing I have ever heard in my whole life."
"Tell me about it." Andre said and yawned again.
Cat came up and put a comforting hand on Andre's shoulder as Robbie sat down next to her. "Why are you so tired, babe?" She asked with concerned.
Andre put on a fake smile and helped her sit down with her large stomach in the way. "Oh, I'm just exhausted from homework, princess. No worries." He lied as he kissed her cheek.
Cat smiled. "Aw, my poor baby." Andre handed her the salad with Thousand Island dressing and the water. "Oh, thank you!"
"Anything for the mother of my child." Andre said, wrapping an arm around her waist and then eating his food.
"So are you ready for tonight, Andre?" Cat asked innocently, putting the dressing on.
Andre nodded. "Sure."
"What's tonight?" Beck asked curiously from across the table.
Cat smiled brightly. "Tonight is our first class on how to learn to take care of the baby and labor exercises!" Everyone burst out laughing obnoxiously as Andre groaned at the situation he was currently in. Cat looked confused. "Why is everyone laughing?"
Tori shook her head, trying to recover. "Nothing, Cat. Don't worry."
"Can Rex and I go with you guys?" Robbie asked.
Cat shrugged. "Of course."
Andre stared at Robbie in wonder. "Why do you want to come?"
Robbie grinned. "I'm going to be the uncle, right? I need to help as much as I can."
Beck caught attention of that. "I'm the uncle too! If Robbie's going then I'm going!"
Cat looked touched. "Aw, you guys are so sweet!"
Jade sighed. "I'll go, since I'll be in the delivery room when the baby's born. I should know this stuff."
Tori spit out her food. "WHAT? Why are YOU going to be in there? Why can't I?"
Cat giggled. "Jade's the godmother."
Tori glared. "Well, I'm going tonight too! Let's see who will get the hang of this labor thing! I say whoever does it better, get's to be in the room!"
Jade growled. "You're on, Vega!"
"Is everything competitive with you guys?" Andre asked. "Jeez…you're worse than Tom and Jerry."
"Andre, I don't want this thing on my stomach." Cat whined as she sat in the middle seat of Jade's truck, only she was in the front seat. Beck was actually next to her in the passenger seat because he was too tall to sit in the non-spacious backseat. Andre was back behind him, with Tori in the middle and Robbie behind Jade's driver's seat. Cat was holding an iPod while Andre bought headphones that could stay on her stomach. It was playing classical music. "It feels weird."
Andre sighed, turning his attention from the small, but fat book in his hands. "Cat, this baby book I've been reading lately says that classical music makes the baby smarter as his brain develops. I wouldn't mind my son being the president of the United States or the next Bill Gates."
Cat pouted. "Phooey."
Jade looked bored as she speeded through cars on the busy freeway. "Why did you guys make an appointment at a place an hour away?" She asked with venom.
"Because this place is the best place around." Andre said to defend himself. "I want nothing, but the best classes for Cat."
Cat was touched. "You're so sweet, love."
"Yeah, adorable." Jade said sarcastically.
Suddenly Cat hummed. "I'm craving a Big Mac."
Not wanting Cat to freak out on her like she did with Andre the other day, Jade turned her blinker on and drove off the freeway onto the off ramp. "Thank God McDonalds was close by." She mumbled. She went into the drive thru and rolled down her window.
"Welcome to McDonalds, would you like to try our-"
"NO!" Jade snapped, startling everyone in the truck. "I want a Big Mac, pronto!"
"Do you want that in a meal?"
Jade looked back at Cat, who shook her head. "No."
"Anything else for you today?"
"No, now give me the stupid total!" Jade growled.
"2.80 at the first window."
"No, it's going to be 2nd window because we're in a hurry!" And Jade kept to her word and speeded to the second window. Andre handed her a 5 dollar bill from the backseat and she harshly handed it to the lady. "Hurry up and give me my change." She glared.
The lady quickly opened the cash register and fumbled, but gave Jade the change. "Your food will be out in a-"
"Quit standing here talking to me and give me the damn burger!" Jade snapped again. "My best friend is pregnant and craving a Big Mac so I insist you give her what she wants!"
Tori raised an eyebrow. "Remind me never to hang out with you when I get married and get pregnant."
Jade scoffed. "Like I'd do this for you, Vega."
Cat suddenly looked saddened. "It's not my fault I'm not married…"
That struck a nerve with everyone in the truck.
Tori panicked. "Oh, Cat, I didn't mean it like that! I'm so sorry!"
The window opened up again and the woman fumbled as her co-worker threw her the sandwich and handed it to Jade. "Have a nice-" Before she could finish her sentence, Jade floored it and speeded back onto the freeway.
Cat squealed with delight as she unwrapped her burger from the paper around it. "Ooh, how delicious this looks!"
Robbie smiled. "Can I have a bite?"
Cat glared. "No!"
Beck helped Cat out of the truck before opening the back door for Andre and the others. Cat gasped. "This place is huge!" She said, putting her hands on her stomach, Andre took her from Beck's grasp and put an arm around her waist. She felt tiny as she looked up at the 5 story building. "This is the right place?"
Andre nodded. "That's what the GPS said." He led her and the others into the building and Beck held the door open for them. They walked to the front desk.
The woman looked up with a smile, but frowned for a mili-second as she noticed how young Cat was. "How may I help you?" She said with a disgusting attitude which made Jade want to slap her.
Andre also noticed the woman's tone and forced himself to remain calm. "We have a 4:30 appointment with a one-on-one class with Mrs. Michaels." He said, glaring at the lady.
The lady challenged him back. "2nd floor, go left, 5th door on the right." She said rudely.
Cat blinked. "Why aren't you being nice?" She asked innocently.
The lady sighed out of annoyance. "Be on your way, young lady."
Cat looked hurt, but before anybody could blow up at the lady, Cat led them towards the elevators. "She wasn't a nice lady." Cat mumbled as they entered the elevator. "It's not my fault that I'm pregnant at such a young age!"
Andre kissed her forehead. "She's just jealous because she probably wasn't glowing and gorgeous when she was pregnant like you are, babygirl."
Cat smiled brightly suddenly. "Oh, thank you!" They excited the elevator on the next floor and Cat was the first one out. "What'd she say?" Cat asked, clueless, making her friends and boyfriend laugh.
"She said go to the right." Robbie said, leading the way.
They all stopped at the 5 door on the right, which said "Mrs. Colleen Michaels" on the door. Andre stepped up and knocked loudly. The door opened and a woman with…blue…hair smiled a creepy smile. "HI THERE!" She said, practically shouting.
Beck blinked. "Oh…no way."
Jade glared to Andre as they all walking in after Colleen invited them in. "Best in the state, huh?" She growled.
Andre sighed. "That's what the website said."
The gang noticed the office was quite large, as it had a work desk, a couple chairs, and a mat in the middle of the floor close to the giant window, with a few exercise tools. This was definitely the right place.
"Please, have a seat." Colleen said, sitting down in her chair behind the desk. "It's wonderful to meet you, Caterina and Andre…which one is Caterina?"
They stared at her in disbelief. "Maybe the girl who has a large stomach?" Jade said in an obvious tone.
Colleen slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand and burst out in laughter. "Oh, my goodness, I should've thought of that!"
Andre helped Cat sit down and stayed standing. Tori sat next to Cat, while Beck leaned against the nearest wall. Jade stayed close to Cat's side as well, but glaring at the blue haired lady. Robbie and Rex sat down next to Tori.
"So, Colleen, how long have you been in this line of work exactly?" Beck asked in a protective tone. He couldn't have his unborn nephew's health in the hands of this blue-haired middle age woman, who didn't even realize which one was the pregnant mother in the room. He wanted to make sure it was safe for Cat and his future nephew.
Colleen controlled her laughter. "19 years." She said, wiping away her tears from laughing too hard. "It's the best job in the world. So who's who? I know who Caterina is!"
Cat giggled. "Call me Cat, please."
Andre raised a hand shyly. "I'm Andre, the father."
Tori cleared her throat. "I'm Tori, the future aunt."
Jade shot a glare to Tori, but regained herself. "I'm the godmother of the baby, Jade."
Robbie smiled goofily. "I'm Robbie! Going to be the uncle! This is Rex!" And he made Rex wave.
Rex chuckled. "Nice to meet you, crazy lady!"
"REX!" Everyone in the room yelled.
Beck rolled his eyes, but became serious. "Anyways, I'm Beck. Cat's overprotective older brother." Colleen chuckled. Beck narrowed his eyes at her, to show he was not joking around.
Colleen raised an eyebrow at the wild haired boy. "Oh, you were serious? I'm going to have to watch out for you now." Colleen looked to the others. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Colleen Michaels, professional teacher of how to train women to give birth and-"
"Train?" Jade asked. "What is this? Boot camp?"
"Not at all, but I am going to force in Caterina's head of what to do when the baby comes." Colleen told them. Andre, Jade, Beck, Robbie, and Tori didn't appreciate the way Colleen was explaining things. Cat didn't have a clue. "Let's get things started shall we?" Colleen stood up and motioned for them to follow her. "Okay, Andrew, you're going to sit Caterina down right here." Colleen said as she put a pillow on the ground to make thing more comfortable for Cat.
Andre raised an eyebrow as he did as he was told. "Did she just call me Andrew?"
"Now Andrew, I'm assuming you're going to be in the delivery room with Caterina?" Colleen asked.
Andre nodded, getting the gist that Colleen wasn't planning on using their normal names. "Yeah, of course."
"Anybody else who is in this room?"
Before Tori could scream out that she was, Jade slammed her side into Tori's, making the Latina fall to the ground harshly. "That's going to be me." Jade said roughly as Colleen motioned for Jade to sit on the other side of Cat, holding her hand.
"Alright, Cat, breathing exercises." Colleen said, kneeling in front of Cat.
On the car ride home, everyone was exhausted. Cat was sound asleep on Beck's shoulder. Andre sighed deeply form the backseat. "That was a long day."
"Absolute nightmare, if you ask me." Tori said in a drained manner.
"No one asked you, Vega." Jade growled. "I can't believe that toy baby. He wouldn't shut up."
"I pray to God my son won't be that way." Andre said. "My ears are still ringing."
"Guys…" Beck sighed out. "We're in for a hell of a ride with this pregnancy and the next 18 years of this kid's life."
Everyone, except Cat, in the truck groaned in misery.

Next "Dumb Question":
When cows laugh, does milk come out of their noses?(I usually contemplate this too)
Preview for Chapter 11:
"I'm here, I'm not leaving you. Never." Andre's voice cracked. "Oh god, Cat, please be okay. Don't leave me. Stay with me forever. I need you to go on."
Cat wanted to tell him that this wasn't life-threatening, but her breathing was getting shallow. "Andre, I can't…breathe."
"No!" Andre cried out as he sat in front of her again. Cat noticed how much he was actually crying now. "No, no, no, no, no, NO! Please, don't leave me alone, Cat! Don't leave me! I need you so much! I can't live without you!" The door burst open and an ambulance team came in.
