Hey guys! Something I forgot to mention...at the end of the Squeakquel movie, the chipmunks and the chipettes sleep in the same room, but here, they sleep in a separate room from each other. It just makes sense for my story :) and thank you for the fast reviewing! Keep this up and i'll update fast too!
---6:30 PM, Friday June 18---
Today was a long day. It was a day that changed everyone's lives, especially Alvin and Brittany's. Just around 5 hours ago, Brittany had found out the biggest news of her life. She was pregnant. But not only that, she was pregnant with her boyfriend, Alvin Seville, teenage international rockstar sensation. But the thing is, he didn't have a clue that she was. After finding out about their sister's news, all Eleanor and Jeanette could do was worry. Brittany didn't want anyone else to know, especially not Alvin, because of these reasons.
Brittany didn't want Alvin to find out because she was scared that Alvin would reject her (even though they are all living together). She also didn't want to ruin their music careers. She didn't want Alvin to regret that night when it happened. And she worried that Alvin didn't want to keep the baby, after all, they're still teenagers. Thinking about these things made her heart skip beats.
Dinner time was getting pretty awkward too. Eleanor, Jeanette and Brittany didn't leave the room ever since finding out about Brittany. And Brittany promised herself that she would try to avoid Alvin, so that she didn't have to tell him.
Tonight at dinner was pretty quiet. The only conversations going on was from Claire and Dave, talking about random things adults usually talk about, like the latest celebrity news, or when the next hockey game will be. Of course, the chipettes ate in silence, but so did the boys. Alvin, Simon and Theodore were getting a bit suspicious about the girls behaviors today, but none of them were as suspicious as Alvin.
"Brittany, honey. You haven't touched your food yet." Said Claire.
Brittany snapped out of it and regained her thoughts. She stared at the plate of roast beef, mash potatoes and gravy on her plate. Everyone else was already done eating. "Oh, I guess I'm not hungry." She mumbled, pushing the plate away from her. But she was starving. She hadn't eaten all day.
"Well, you have to eat something. You don't have to finish it all if you'd like." Claire said.
Brittany shook her head. "No thank you."
"Then would you wanna skip to dessert?" Asked Claire. "We have coconut cream pie in the fridge."
Brittany shook her head again. "I'm not hungry."
Alvin raised an eyebrow. There's something wrong with her.
Brittany knew that Alvin was staring at her and it made her feel self conscious. She didn't want to deal with him now so she asked, "May I be excused?"
Claire looked at Dave for a brief moment then said, "Okay, I guess."
Brittany hopped off the table and walked to her room and shut the door. Everyone stared at Brittany as she walked away. Everyone but her sisters were confused. But Jeanette and Eleanor still tried to put on a fake surprised face. Then Dave turned to Alvin.
"Alvin, what did you do now?" He asked.
Alvin's eyes widened. "ME? What are you talking about? I didn't do anything."
"Are you sure? You two didn't get in a fight?" Dave asked.
"No, well, not that I know of." Alvin said. What if I did something that hurt her, and I didn't know?
"Alvin..." Dave said in a warning tone.
"I don't think we got into a fight." Alvin said.
"Why don't you go talk to her." Dave suggested.
Eleanor and Jeanette lept out of their seat at the same time and yelled, "NO!"
Dave, Claire, Alvin, Theodore and Simon looked at the two chipettes like they were crazy because of their sudden and random outburst.
"I-I mean, I don't think you should talk to Brittany right now. You know how she gets whenever she's in a bad mood. We don't want anybody getting hurt." Eleanor said, faking a laugh at the end.
Alvin shrugged. "I can handle it."
"No Alvin, you can't handle it." Jeanette said, and he raised an eyebrow. "I mean, you shouldn't right now."
"But trust us, she isn't mad at you." Eleanor said.
Alvin looked confused. Then why has she been avoiding me all day?
It was silent between Eleanor, Jeanette and Alvin. Dave cleared his throat and said, "Okay, well that was interesting...who wants to help me with the dishes?"
At this time, it was usually Jeanette and Eleanor who always offered to help, but this time, they kept quiet. All eyes stared at them, expecting them to speak up, but neither of them did. Jeanette looked up and saw all eyes on her and Eleanor. "Oh, we'll do it."
Claire shook her head. "No, no. I'll do them tonight. Why don't you girls go see how Brittany is doing."
Eleanor nodded and she and Jeanette hopped off the table. "Okay." They said before walking into their room.
But when they got there, Brittany wasn't in the room.
Eleanor started to get worried. "Britt?"
"In the washroom." Brittany called.
Jeanette and Eleanor walked into their washroom and saw Brittany standing on the counter in front of the mirror, looking at herself from every angle.
"Britt? What are you doing?" Asked Jeanette curiously.
"I'm checking my weight." She answered.
Jeanette rolled her eyes. "Brittany, it's not like you have a choice. You will get bigger."
Brittany glared at her sister. "Thanks for making me feel a whole lot better Jeanette." She said with sarcasm. "But I just want to compare what I look like today to tomorrow."
Eleanor shook her head. Her sister was being ridiculous. "Britt, that's enough." She pulled her sister away from the mirror. "You look beautiful in any way, but there's a baby in your stomach, not a whole pile of food!"
Brittany sighed. That's right, she did have a baby inside her stomach. She wanted to avoid that thought, but there was no way that she could.
"You're not getting fat Britt. Your stomach is just getting...bigger." Eleanor said.
Brittany sighed and hopped off the counter and walked to her bed, followed by Eleanor and Jeanette. "I think Alvin is getting suspicious."
Eleanor sat on her own bed and said, "I think so too Britt. And so are Simon and Theodore. I think the way we all acted at dinner made them all suspicious."
Brittany looked down. "Am I being mean?"
"What do you mean?" Jeanette asked her sister as she got into her night dress.
"Do you think I'm being too harsh at Alvin? You know, for ignoring him?" Brittany asked.
Jeanette thought about it. "Well, it was your decision to ignore him. But to be honest, you are being a bit mean for ignoring him."
That wasn't the answer Brittany was hoping for. "Oh." Brittany sighed. "I don't wanna hurt him, but I don't wanna tell him about the baby either."
"At dinner, Dave suspected that you and Alvin were in another fight, since you two aren't talking." Said Jeanette.
"What? Oh no. Did you tell him that I'm not mad or anything?" Brittany asked.
"Don't worry. We told them. But Alvin still looked a bit confused." Eleanor said.
Brittany really felt bad for him. He did nothing to deserve this. She didn't want Alvin to think that he did something wrong, she just needed to avoid him for a few days until she's ready to tell him. To tell everyone. And she hoped that the day she will, won't come any day soon.
There was a knock on the door. The three chipettes froze. What if it was Alvin, Simon and Theodore. What if they were here to ask 'What in the world has gotten to you girls today? Why are you acting so weird?'. Then there was another knock. But the girls felt so relieved to hear the voice on the other side.
"Girls? It's me. Can I come in?" Claire said.
Jeanette looked at her sisters. Brittany didn't do anything, but Eleanor just shrugged. "Sure Claire, you can come in."
Claire opened the door and shut it behind her. Each chipette was already in their own bed, and in their PJ's. Claire went to go sit on Brittany's bed.
"Hi girls, sorry for barging in." She looked at them. "Why are you three already in your pajamas? It's only 6:45."
Jeanette sighed. "We had a long day today." She looked at her sisters, but only Eleanor nodded. Brittany stayed frozen.
Claire cleared her throat. "Would you girls like to tell me what's going on?"
They all froze.
"Jeanette, Eleanor? Why didn't you girls want Alvin to talk to Brittany? And why did you say that 'he can't handle it'?" Asked Claire.
Brittany felt insecure all of a sudden.
Eleanor gulped. "What?" She asked innocently.
"I don't want to seem strict or anything like that, but I have a bad feeling about something. Something that you three are hiding from us. And I want you to tell me." Claire said. She turned to Brittany, who herself, felt like she was gonna pass out any moment.
"Brittany? Why didn't you eat dinner? Are you feeling alright?" Claire asked.
Brittany gulped. "I'm feeling fine Claire, I promise."
Claire doubted it, but nodded her head anyway. "I want you girls to know that you can tell me anything. I won't even tell Dave, or the boys. It's just between us girls." She paused for a moment. "So girls, please tell me what's going on. I'm getting pretty worried about you three. Brittany, you're not talking or eating, and Jeanette and Eleanor, you girls are acting very weird lately, and I just wanna know what's going on."
Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor remained silent.
"I consider you three like daughters, and it worries me that you three are acting strange." Claire said.
Jeanette spoke up. "Claire, we love you. And we promise that everything is alright." She lied.
Claire sighed. "You sure?"
Eleanor and Jeanette nodded, but Brittany continued to stare into space.
Claire nodded and stood up. "Alright, bit if you need anything, just call me okay?" She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her and went back to the kitchen where they boys were sitting on top of the counter while Dave was finishing up the dishes.
"What did they say?" Asked Dave.
"They wouldn't tell me. They said that everything is alright and we don't need to worry. But I'm sure there's something going on." Claire said.
"How was Brittany?" Asked Alvin.
She looked at him, then Dave. "I'm not so sure. She hardly said anything when I was in the room."
"What about Jeanette and Eleanor?" Asked Simon.
Claire shrugged. "They seemed alright, but they were still acting weird today at dinner, have you noticed that?"
The three chipmunks nodded.
It was quiet in the kitchen for a long time. Dave decided to speak up and change this topic. He cleared his throat. "Uh, okay. Well, I'm done the dishes now, so what do you guys wanna do?"
"I-I think I'm just gonna go to bed." Alvin said.
"This early?" Asked Dave.
Alvin nodded his head.
"Why?" Dave asked.
"I'm just not feeling well." He walked off into his room.
Dave looked at the remaining chipmunks. "What's wrong with him?"
Simon shrugged. "You know Alvin, he acts like that whenever he's in a bad mood. Whatever, he'll be fine tomorrow."
Alvin got ready for bed. He brushed his teeth, got into his pajamas and laid on his bed. But he was so confused.
What the hell is their problems? Jeanette and Eleanor are acting weird, like they don't want us to know something. Maybe they're helping Brittany? But what's Brittany's problem? What did I do to get ignored? Why isn't she talking to me? Why is she avoiding me?
Those questions ran through Alvin's mind all day. He hated it when he was totally clueless about something, and it just frustrates him all the time.
---11:45 PM, Friday June 18---
Alvin laid in bed for almost 5 hours now. The good thing was that he was completely alone. Theodore and Simon were still in the living room with Claire and Dave. It just gave him more time, and more room to think. Just as he thought everything was going okay, the bedroom door opened. Simon and Theodore walked in. They were surprised to see Alvin still awake.
"Alvin, you're still up?" Asked Simon.
Alvin rolled his eyes. "Yeah, so?"
Simon shook his head and ignored him. Once Simon and Theodore got ready for bed, Alvin asked, "Don't you think the girls are acting a bit strange, like they're keeping a secret from us?"
Simon rolled his eyes. "Not this again please..."
Alvin rolled his eyes. "I'm serious Simon. Did you see the way they all acted at dinner. I mean, all three of them! Even Jeanette and Eleanor."
"Yeah, I noticed. But it's none of our business." Simon told his brother.
Alvin glared at him. "I don't care. Don't you get worried about Jeanette, Simon?"
Simon said, "Yeah, of course I do, but-"
"So why do you think they're acting this way?" Asked Alvin.
Simon shook his head. "Fine. I'll go talk to Jeanette tomorrow morning and see what's going on. But Alvin, stop overreacting. The girls are fine."
Theodore said, "And I'll talk to Eleanor tomorrow too."
"Trust us Alvin, the girls aren't hiding anything from us. Now goodnight." Simon said before switching the light switch off.
Alvin rolled his eyes and fell onto his pillow. "You can never be so sure."
