A/N: Merry early Christmas! Co written with werewolfgirl022.
The house was quiet now as Carly and Johnny were finishing setting up the Christmas tree… and then Carly started feeling dizzy, Johnny catching her as she almost fell off the ladder.
"Alright, you need to rest darlin." Johnny says, taking Carly into his arms and walking over to the couch, putting her on it.
"Maybe using a ladder wasn't a good idea." Carly says, both hearing a knock at the door and Johnny opening it, letting Jack and Tommy in, Tommy startled by how pale Carly looked.
"You okay, tiny?" Tommy asks.
"She almost passed out a few seconds ago." Johnny says, Carly's phone chiming and her seeing a text from Ashley.
'Ready for the party tonight?'
'Yeah. Just resting now, almost fell off the ladder while decorating the tree.' Carly replies.
'Oh shit!' Ashley texts back.
'I'm okay, it's over… but could you stop by a drugstore? Better than going crazy with worry.' Carly replies.
'Yeah, sure.' Ashley replies, grabbing her keys and causing Clint to open his eyes.
"Carly okay?" Clint mumbles after glancing at the texts.
"Yeah she just needs me to go to the drugstore for her." Ashley says.
"Alright and if you run into Jack, tell him that I want my knife back." Clint says before they kiss and Ashley leaves.
At the drugstore, Ashley had gone down the aisle and picked up a test… unaware that Trevor had followed her into the store.
"You and Clint giving me a grandchild?" Trevor asks, making Ashley jump.
"Maybe why?" Ashley says.
"Just curious… I ain't getting any younger." Trevor says.
"Okay, just out of curiosity how would you feel about Carly and Johnny being parents?" Ashley says.
"Maybe in a decade or so… Carly's still too young." Trevor says, trying to stay calm. Ashley bought the test, left and went to Chumash.
"Really, Johnny? Is this necessary?" Carly asks as Johnny props Carly's slightly swollen feet onto a pillow and Tommy lets Ashley in, Ashley walking into the house.
"You owe me big time Carly." Ashley says, handing the test to Carly.
"Trevor?" Carly says, Ashley nodding. "I ain't budging with him." She says.
"Tiny's acting odd." Tommy whispers as Carly thanked Ashley and heading to the bathroom.
"You guys did a fantastic job here." Ashley says, admiring the decorations.
"Thanks… I guess the stress of the holidays caused some impulsiveness." Johnny says, Ashley seeing a nervous look on his face and trying to reassure him. "Ash, what if I screw this kid up?" He asks.
"Hey, you and Carly will be great parents. That little baby will be the best of both of you." Ashley says.
A few minutes later, Carly emerged from the bathroom, Johnny walking over to her and seeing the test… he immediately picked her up and spun her around as they hugged tightly, Tommy screaming as the test flew and hit him in the nose.
"That actually hurt a bit." Tommy says as Lex walked in.
"What did you do this time Tomboy?" Lex asks.
"It was an accident. Sorry, Tommy." Carly says after she was back on the floor and she and Johnny had let go, Lex picking up the test and seeing Positive 3-4 weeks. "You gonna start a betting pool, Lex?" She asks.
"Maybe." Lex says.
"Wait until we announce it later tonight, alright? Don't want everyone being blindsided." Carly says.
Later that night…
Silver And Gold by Burl Ives played from the radio as Trent tried to offer Carly a glass of vodka as Carly straightened out her black lace cocktail mini dress.
"Not tonight, buddy." Carly says, sticking with her 2nd glass of cranberry juice and confusing Trent.
"Did you draw the short straw for being the sober driver?" Trent asks.
"No, I think that was Scott." K8lynn says as she and Trevor walk in, Carly taking a deep breath and trying to stay calm.
"Party crashing, T?" Jack asks, downing more whiskey.
"Yeah, seems like someone left me off a list." Trevor says.
"Take a fucking hint, lunatic." Carly mutters, instinctively rubbing her stomach… which Trent notices, Trevor looking at Ashley who was drinking a beer.
"Ash, should you really be drinking?" Trevor asks.
"Yes why?" Ashley asks.
"He's gonna blow like Mount Rushmore." Carly says as Johnny walks over to her, Trent, Paul and Jack glancing at each other and deciding to get Trevor out of here.
"How is alcohol even permissible in your condition?!" Trevor yells at Ashley, screaming out as Paul bites him.
"The test came back negative!" Ashley yells back.
"Get off of me, you drunken-" Trevor yells, trying to pull Paul off of him but Trent punches Trevor.
"Whoever throws Trevor into traffic gets $500!" Trent shouts, K8lynn pulling Trevor away from them as Paul backed away from Trevor's right leg.
"Are you crazy?! What's gotten into you?!" K8lynn screamed at Trent, Jack and Paul.
"If I remember correctly, Trevor started it!" Carly says before grabbing a microphone, everyone else looking at her and Johnny. "I was gonna wait until later or possibly Christmas Eve to announce this but… Johnny and I are gonna be parents." She says, everyone's eyes widening.
"Wait you lied to me Ashley?!" Trevor demands.
"Yes and I lie to a lot of people, who cares?" Ashley says.
"It's not fucking right, she's too-" Trevor shouts.
"What, young?! Cause K8lynn's a year older and you're screwing her, I bet you two haven't used any protection!" Carly says, K8lynn looking down and everyone realising it.
"What were you gonna do, play daddy to your new child but stop me and Carly from having kids?!" Johnny asks once he held the microphone, K8lynn looking at Trevor.
"Yeah, what were you gonna do?" K8lynn asks, her hands on her hips.
"Trevor, outside!" Michael says, grabbing Trevor by his blazer and dragging him outside, both seeing Franklin and Immy.
"It all got a bit loud, what'd we miss?" Franklin asks.
"Carly is having a mistake!" Trevor yells.
"Both Carly and K8lynn are pregnant and apparently, Trevor's planning on killing my grandchild while raising his own kid!" Michael says.
At the same time, Ashley walked into the master bedroom, where Carly and Johnny had retreated to, Johnny holding Carly in his arms.
"2017 is gonna be crazier than 2016 was…" Carly says softly as tears rolled down her face, Ashley walking over and lightly rubbing Carly's back.
"Has the lunatic left, Ash?" Johnny asks.
"Oh, how dare you bring that up?!" Trevor yells after Michael brought up what Ashley and everyone else knew, that Trevor kidnapped her and never told her that Brad was her father.
"You ran out on Ashley, got pissed when Sammy and I got closer and you completely forgot about your other kids but they're out there!" Everyone heard, looked and saw Sam, who had taken her stiletto heels off when they started pinching her feet and smoothed out her white lace dress.
"I was okay with Carly having a more intimate friendship but Johnny being twice her age told me it would turn into more! I saw this the second I found out that they knew each other!" Trevor yells.
"Lights out for you!" Paul yells before whacking Trevor with a baseball bat and knocking him out.
"Nice one, Paul!" Sam says, Sammy joining her. "Want to go tie him to a tree?" She asks.
"Let's load him up into my van." Paul says.
It was a few hours later that Trevor regained consciousness as Trent was spray painting "Take a knife and cut me!" on Trevor's torso, a long arrow following and pointing down.
"Fucking untie me!" Trevor yells.
"Not happening… I could chop the tree down and roll you into the river." Jack says after walking over to them, angering Trevor even further.
"You fucking TRAITOR!" Trevor shouts, yelling the last word.
"If I remember correctly, there were three girls you betrayed! Carly, Ashley and Sam!" Jack shouts.
"I didn't betrayed them, they betrayed me!" Trevor yells.
"Come on, let's head out." Jack says before he and the others leave, Trevor screaming in rage.
The next morning…
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Carly looked up and saw Paul sitting on the bed.
"Hey. Good morning." Carly says through a yawn. "What did you all do to him?" She asks.
"Left him tied up… you okay?" Paul says.
"Yeah… Trevor's gonna make the next 8 months difficult but mine and Johnny's baby comes first in our lives now." Carly says, Paul lightly rubbing her arms.
"And if he tries anything it will not end well for him." Paul says.
Carly was about to respond but then Johnny walked in, a black eye visible.
"Did you find Lex in the cupboard again?" Carly asks after sitting up.
"Yeah and he whacked me with a frying pan." Johnny says as Lex walked in.
The strong scent of alcohol made Carly bolt out of the bed and into the bathroom, Johnny following her as Lex and Paul heard Carly throwing up after the door closed, Paul flopping onto the bed and looking at his phone when it chimed.
"Which stripper texted you now?" Lex asks.
"The new one, Christine." Paul says.
"Wait there is a new one there?" Lex asks.
"Yep, she's about 23." Paul says as Carly and Johnny walk back into the room, Johnny helping Carly lie down.
"Feeling okay, tiny?" Lex asks, Carly nodding as she ran her right hand through her hair.
"Do you want some ginger tea?" Paul asks.
"Yeah, that sounds good." Carly says, Paul lightly hugging her and climbing off the bed before venturing out into the kitchen.
"Something you looking for, Tommy?" Paul asks, seeing Tommy setting several boxes of tea on the countertop.
"Yeah, coffee. She has red velvet, chai white, chai spice, chai green and ginger tea but Carly has no coffee." Tommy says.
"Can you make a cup of ginger tea please? Too short to reach." Paul says.
"Yeah. Let me guess, tiny's started throwing up?" Tommy says, putting some water in a coffee cup and then in the microwave, setting it for two minutes before opening a packet and grabbing the tea bag.
Scott groaned as he stumbled into the kitchen, hungover and looking for coffee.
"She tossed it." Tommy says, grabbing the boiling water and weighing the tea bag down with a spoon.
"Seriously, how much tea can one woman drink?" Scott mutters, looking at the boxes.
Tommy and Paul shook their heads, knowing Scott would never understand why Carly preferred drinking tea sometimes.
