This chapter is dedicated to Madeofmatches because their answer was funny. Milkshakes are good.

I'm updating tonight quickly, and I'll be updating my sister's story too. She's sick right now. No voice. So we're helping her out a lot of her son. It's hard to update.

Crazy Ride

Chapter 11

2 weeks later, it was Thanksgiving time.

Cat was still 6 months along, and getting tired and sore. Her back was beginning to hurt from the extra weight on only one side of her body. Her mood swings and cravings were much, much worse than they imagined. One time, Andre was so frustrated that he walked away from her, but went running back not even 20 seconds later, begging on his knees for forgiveness. Cat wasn't worried, since she knew he would. He'd never abandon her. Everyone knew Andre loses his temper every now and then.

The day of thanksgiving, everyone was getting together in the morning time for a group thanksgiving since everyone was going to be with family later that night. Everyone was going to Tori's. Cat had spent the night to help Tori with everything. The two girls had stayed up all night decorating, making the turkey, and the food.

Cat was by far exhausted and ready to pass out.

By the time they were done, it was 9am. Everyone was coming at 10. She didn't have time to sleep. It was time to get ready. Soon, she was ready before Tori, dressed in a pair of tan Bermuda shorts, a black fancy Spanish style blouse, and black flats that had a bow on the stop. She put some curls on the ends of her hair and a black bow on. Since she was done early, she curled up on the couch, ready to take a quick 5 minute nap, but suddenly…

"YOU CAN TRAVEL THE WORLD! BUT NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE GOLDEN COAST!" Trina's screeching singing voice was screaming while coming down the stairs. Cat almost cried. She just wanted to sleep. "CAT!" Trina screeched as she saw Cat on the couch. "Why are you being so lazy?"

Cat gasped and sat up as quick as she could without causing too much pain for her. "Lazy? Trina, I was up all night with Tori decorating and cooking! I'm not lazy! I'm so tired!"

Trina shrugged. "You're young. You'll get over it."

Cat sat back on the couch. "I'm 6 and half months pregnant. Trust me. I'm not going to recover from an all-nighter anytime soon." Suddenly, Cat cringed. "My stomach kind of hurts."

"Probably because you eat too much." Trina said heartlessly, picking at the pies on the kitchen counter.

Cat rolled her eyes and rubbed her stomach. "Oh, son, what's wrong?" She whispered with concern and love for her unborn child.

Soon, people were arriving, except Andre wasn't there yet. Cat was trying to keep up with serving people, with Tori. Jade tried to help, but they told her just to relax and they're the hosts…even though Cat wanted nothing more than to sit down and put her feet up, since they were starting to swell up. Her stomach was getting knots and her heart was racing, but she ignored it. This was Thanksgiving Day. She needed to suck it up because if she was to whine, everything would turn to her and she didn't want that. It would ruin everyone's day.

After coming back to the counter to grab another appetizer, Cat tried to catch her breath and leaned against the counter with her hands holding her up. She felt a strong hand on her back and another on her cheek. Cat looked up and saw her boyfriend with worried eyes. "Hi, love." She said, forcing a smile and giving him a kiss on the lips softly. "Happy Thanksgiving." She said against his lips.

Andre kissed her again and then leaned back. "Happy Thanksgiving, precious girl." And then his eyes went back to concerned. "Are you alright there? You looked like you were in pain."

Cat shook her head. "No, no, I'm fine. Don't worry." She rubbed his arm to comfort him. "Everyone is sitting down at the table in Tori's other dining room. Let's go over there, okay?" Before he could protest about her exhausted state, she led him to the other room. She smiled brightly to everyone. "Look who's finally here!"

"About freaking time." Jade glared as Andre took his seat next to Cat's. "What held you up?"

Andre sighed. "My grandmother was having a panic attack again from when the news announced that a lion escaped from the zoo…in China…and she thought it'd come to her house." He shook his head. "The woman needs to go to a loony bin. I keep telling my parents that grandma's gone senile and that it's time to stick her in a home."

Everyone laughed at that, but Cat suddenly stopped. Another ping of an uncomfortable feeling went through her stomach and chest. This time, Tori noticed and put a hand on hers. "Cat, what's wrong?"

Cat regained herself quickly and smiled. "Oh, nothing, Tor. I'm tired from being up all night."

Tori nodded. "Me too! After this, before our thanksgiving dinners with our families, let's take a nap!"

Cat nodded in agreement. "You won't hear me arguing."

After another half-hour, Tori and Cat decided it was time to serve the food. "Are you well enough to help me serve?" Tori asked as she stood from her seat.

Cat nodded. "Of course. I helped, so I should help."

"Do you girls need help?" Andre asked.

"Nope!" They both answered.

"Everyone just relax and Cat and I will handle everything!" Tori said with cheer. "Right, Cat?"

Cat nodded. "Of course." Tori and Cat brought out dishes of different types of food. Mash potatoes, gravy, corn, salad, and of course the main dish of the large platter turkey. "We spent all night on this, so you guys better enjoy it!" Cat told them.

Tori looked over. "Sikowitz, you should cut the turkey." She told him.

So Sikowitz stood from his seat and ran up. "Well, WHAT AN HONOR!" He shouted with excitement, taking the two sharp knives from Tori. Everyone chuckled. "Alright, dark or white meat?"

After everyone was served, they enjoyed their dinner. Cat tried to eat, but the uncomfortable feeling was getting worse. Andre noticed. "Cat-"

"We need more water, servers." Jade glared at Tori as she motioned to the empty jug. "Get me some, Vega."

Before Tori could counter, Cat reached for the water jug. "I'll get the water." Cat smiled. "I need to walk around anyways." Cat lied as she went into the kitchen without another word. Once there, she put the water jug down on the counter, once again, leaning against it, her hands gripping the sides. She was breathing heavily, her heart racing and pounding against her chest. The more she stood there thinking about it, the feeling became worse. "Suck it up, Cat." She whispered.

"Hey, Cat! You getting the water or not?" Trina's rude voice yelled from the next room.

Cat sighed out the pain, even though it was still there. "Yeah! I'm coming back right now!" She put the jug under the faucet and started the water on high. Soon it was full and with a struggle, she lifted it out of the sink. As she was walking back, a large, sharp pain shot through her stomach, back, and chest all at the same time. She screamed in pain and dropped the jug of water everywhere, slipping on it and falling harshly against the counter's cabinets onto her bottom. She curled up and held her stomach with her arms, breathing heavily. "HELP ME!" She screamed, worried about her child's health.

First thing she saw when she opened her eyes again was Andre kneeling in front of her, tears brimming his eyes as he had his hands on either side of her face to make her face him. "Cat! Cat! What's wrong?" He looked over to the others. "Call an ambulance!" He shouted with fear and desperation filling his voice. Lane nodded and stepped away to call the godforsaken number everyone hated dialing. Cat was in a delirious state of mind as everything was getting blurry with her tears. "Oh, Cat, please talk to me!" Andre sobbed.

Cat swallowed before speaking. "Andre, help me." She pleaded weakly. "I can't breathe."

"I'm here, princess, I'm here." He sat next to her now, wrapped his arms around her fragile figure and she leaned into him. "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. Andre looked relieved, but he was still scared. "Help her! PLEASE! I can't lose her!"

Cat noticed that Tori and Jade her sobbing in each others arms, while Beck was leaning against a wall, face first, looking absolutely helpless. Robbie was curled up against the same wall, crying, while Trina was trying to comfort him, tears in her own eyes. Sikowitz was talking to Lane, going about getting a hold of Cat's parents.

Cat felt Andre lift her up after the paramedics checked her weak heartbeat and high blood pressure. "Yeah, she's going to the hospital." One man said.

Andre grabbed the guy's arm after Andre put her down. "I need to go with her! I'm her boyfriend! The father of the baby! Please!" He asked in sheer panic.

The other paramedic nodded. "Yes, of course." They began taking Cat out to the ambulance and she slowly losing consciousness, the pain being too much for her. One she was in, Andre was by her side as they shut the doors. The paramedic that was in the back with them was trying to put an IV in her as they started going. The paramedic noticed Cat's eyes shutting. "No, no, Cat, you stay with us! Cat! Stay with us!" He was snapping his fingers in Cat's face, but it did no good.

Andre thought he was having a heart attack. "No, no, CAT, NO!"

Cat's whole world went black. The last thing she heard was her boyfriend's devastated and terrified voice.

"CATTTTT!"
