A/N: Here's an early NYE chapter, I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season.

Carly groaned angrily when she heard a loud knocking sound outside, followed by arguing.

"She's not gonna listen!" K8lynn says.

"And would you blame her if she didn't?! He's still being a damn hypocrite, wanting to raise a kid with you while trying to kill their's!" Jack says, Carly unlocking and opening the door as Johnny stood behind her.

"You still look mad." K8lynn says, Carly nodding. "Look, it was… a bit of a heavy shock to Trevor, finding out that you're pregnant…" She says, Carly looking at her. "You don't believe what I'm saying, do you Jadey?" She asks.

"No, not even close. Trevor made no attempt to hide that he thinks I'm carrying a mistake and he still wants me to be that little kid he loved so much. I've denied for some time that he didn't love me at all but not anymore." Carly says, her arms folded. "You feel the need to stay with him, I get that… but either he calms down and backs off…" She says.

"Hopefully, it won't turn out like that… have you managed to keep food and tea down?" K8lynn says, Carly nodding… before Carly pursed her lips.

"Hold that thought." Carly says before bolting into the bathroom and Johnny following her, the slamming the door shut.

"I hope she's feeling up to hosting the party tonight. Do you need my help dealing with Trevor?" Jack says.

"I've got Ash and Lex to deal with that one." K8lynn says.

Meanwhile…

"No! How the hell can she not invite me to the party?!" Trevor shouts.

"Do you remember how you acted on the 22nd?!" Lex demands.

"I was practically blindsided, she didn't tell me first!" Trevor yells, Ashley trying to stab him but Lex stopping her.

"Hey, no stabby stabby! Much as you don't like it, K8lynn's kid needs a dad!" Lex says.

"And what about me? I grew up thinking he-" Ashley says before pointing the knife at Trevor. "-was my father when it turned out Brad was. And for all I know he could have killed my mom." She finished.

"K8lynn didn't grow up with a mom. Her dad died and she ended up on the streets, then in prison, then on death row! You think she hasn't had it rough?!" Trevor says.

"And you think I haven't had rough as well?! I spent four months kidnapped and tortured by the FIB, I was basically half dead when I managed to escape! I formed a drug addiction and lived on the streets as well! Or have forgotten all of that because I'm not your daughter and you don't give a single fuck!" Ashley yells.

At the house in Chumash, Trent and Paul walked in with bags of food.

"Bad timing, boys." Johnny says, motioning to Carly, who was drinking a cup of ginger tea.

"Hey, guys." Carly says, Trent seeing the sonogram picture of a very small baby and smiling.

Later during the party, Carly had managed to keep herself from throwing up and was making another of tea when Scott walked over to her.

"How's the impromptu cricket game going?" Carly asks.

Before she could answer, the ball smashed through the window, startling everyone inside.

"Jake, you dumbass! Tiny's gonna kill you!" Tommy yells.

"You have the pitching skills of a drunk grandma, Tommy!" Jake shouts.

"Whose idea was it to let them play Cricket?" Carly asks.

"Fuck if I know… and you did not hear me swearing, kiddo." Ashley says, lightly patting Carly's stomach.

The window was fixed easily thanks to Immy and later, Carly and Johnny poured themselves glasses of ginger ale while the others settled on alcohol as they waited by the Tv.

'Been crazy this year… gone from living around Madam Godzilla to living with Johnny, getting engaged… and now he and I are having a baby.' Carly thought, affectionately rubbing her stomach before she smoothed out her black satin mini dress.

"You could've had a few drinks, Johnny." Carly whispers as Johnny wrapped his arms around her waist, resting a hand on her stomach.

"It's not fair to you and I know your favorite part of New Year's Eve is our kiss to ring in the new year." Johnny whispers as everyone started counting.

"10!" Ashley exclaimed.

"9!" Clint shouted.

"8!" Trent yelled.

"7!" Lex proclaimed drunkenly.

"6!" Carly and Johnny yelled simultaneously.

"5… 4… 3… 2… 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone cheered, Carly and Johnny kissing as did every other couple in the house. Out of the corner of her eye, Carly saw Jack and Sam's twin sister Reyette sneak off into a guest room.

'Now it really has come full circle… happy New Year, you two.' Carly thought as she smiled.

The next morning was a bit quiet… until Jack snuck out of the bed, readjusted his pajamas and found Trevor passed out in the backyard.

"Happy New Year!" Trevor slurred drunkenly, Jack grabbing Trevor and tossing him over the wooden fence, Trevor screaming as he fell until he hit the ground with a thud.

"Last of the season's beatings, you old lunatic!" Jack says before walking back inside, closing and locking the sliding door before feeling small hands cover his eyes, turned after she rested her hands on his and saw Reyette, who was wearing his shirt before they kissed.

This year was going to be different for everyone...
