Here's the next chapter. This is one you don't wanna miss reading :D
---1:20 AM, Friday June 25---
Brittany laid awake in her bed. Eleanor and Jeanette were already fast asleep. Brittany was just waiting for Alvin so they could go talk to Dave and Claire. They were ready to tell them about it, the thing that changed their lives. Brittany could hear the distant voices coming from the television, which means Dave and Claire were still awake. There was a silent knock on the door. Brittany automatically got out of bed and went to the door. Alvin was standing there.
"Theodore and Simon are asleep now. You ready?" He whispered.
Brittany nodded. "I'm ready." She closed the door behind her and she and Alvin made their way to the living room. Dave and Claire were sitting in one of the couches, with their attention was on the TV.
Alvin took a deep breath. "Um, Dave? Claire?
Dave and Claire turned around, and saw Alvin and Brittany walking over to them.
"What are you two doing up? It's past midnight." Claire said.
"Brittany and I want to say something." Alvin said.
Dave and Claire looked at each other with confusion written all over their faces. Alvin and Brittany took a seat across from the couch Dave and Claire were sitting in. Dave turned off the TV and asked, "What's wrong?"
Brittany took a deep breath. "What we're about to tell you is not joke, it's serious."
Claire looked at her. "What do you mean? Guys, what's going on?"
"You two have to promise us that you won't get mad." Alvin pleaded.
"Alvin, what are you talking about?" Dave asked, getting a bit mad, even though he had no idea what was going on.
Brittany decided that she was gonna tell them right away, instead of letting them guess. She thought it was better if she'd let it all out, just to get it over with. But this was gonna be a hard and painful thing to do.
"Claire? Remember at dinner, when you said I was getting a bit fat?" Brittany asked quietly.
"Yeah, why?" Claire asked, getting a bit serious.
Brittany looked down. "It's not food." She confessed quietly.
Claire felt her heart sink. She knew what this meant, but she wanted to make sure. "Wh-what do you mean?"
Brittany placed her hands on her stomach. Both Dave and Claire gasped at the same time.. knowing what it meant. Alvin looked at them. Dave was staring at Brittany, with the most dumbfounded look on his face. Claire held her face in her hands.
"No..." She whispered. "No, please don't tell me this is happening..."
Dave glared at Alvin. "Alvin, is this what I think it is?"
Alvin gulped. "If your thinking that Brittany is pregnant, and I'm the one who got her pregnant..." He forced a chuckle. "Well, you're right." He said, slightly terrified for his own life after saying that.
Dave stood up, with rage in his eyes. "ALVIN SEVILLE, THIS IS NOT A JOKE!"
Alvin was now very terrified for his life. "Dave, Dave!" He stuttered. "I'm sorry, I-"
Dave walked over to the red clad chipmunks and towered over him. "SORRY? ALVIN I'M GONNA GIVE YOU 5 SECONDS TO TELL ME THAT BRITTANY ISN'T PREGNANT."
Brittany and Alvin sat there, terrified to death. Brittany could fell her eyes swell up again. Her vision was getting blurry. Tears started to come again, and fell out of her eyes. "Dave, we're being serious. Please."
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? CAN'T YOU TWO SEE THAT I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKES LIKE THIS?" Dave spazzed.
Brittany cried intensely. "Dave, please listen to us!" She cried. "I'm pregnant!"
Dave got a sickening feeling to his stomach. He sat back down beside Claire, who still had her head down, with her hands covering her face. Dave looked at them. "What?"
Brittany took a deep breath. She still continued to cry. "Please, I know you two probably hate us so much. But...I am pregnant." Her whole body started to shake with nervousness.
"God, no..." Dave mumbled. "No, no, no." He shook his head. He angrily ran his fingers through his hair. He didn't want to accept that fact. But he couldn't. Brittany was crying her eyes out, and it only took that to convince him that she and Alvin were telling the truth.
Claire looked up. There were tears streaming down her face. "I can't believe you two. Brittany, you're pregnant? Do you know how this will affect your guy's lives?"
They both nodded. Unfortunately, they knew the downfalls to teen pregnancy.
Dave looked up. He stared at Alvin and said, "Alvin, why did you do this?" He looked at both of them now. "You two are just teenagers! What were you thinking?" He snapped.
Brittany and Alvin remained quiet. They're hearts were beating very fast.
Dave took a deep breath to calm himself down, his voice was quiet. "Alvin, do you how this will affect your careers? How would you two go on tours if you have a baby to take care of? What about school? You two are still in high school. Do you know how hard it will be to go to school, and raise a family? And to make things worse, you guys are international rock stars, for crying out loud!" he said, raising his voice at the end.
"We know. We're sorry Dave." Alvin said.
"No Alvin. You don't know." Dave fired back. "If you knew, you and Brittany wouldn't of been sneaking around with each other knocking each other up!"
Both Alvin and Brittany felt uncomfortable after hearing that. Claire put a hand on Dave's shoulder. She stared at the two chipmunks. "Why? Why did you do this? At such a young age?"
Alvin had a feeling that they were gonna hear the 'talk' soon. "We didn't know any better Claire. We're sorry."
Alvin hated repeating the word 'sorry' every time but he didn't know what else to say.
"Do you two know anything about babies? Do you know anything about raising a family?" Claire asked, and they shook their heads. "So do you think you're gonna be able to raise this baby by yourselves?"
Brittany and Alvin said nothing. They knew Dave and Claire were right. They were just being careless at that time when it happened.
"Why did you two do this?" Dave asked. He was furious that Alvin had gotten Brittany pregnant, but he still didn't have the guts to start yelling at his 'son' about this because you couldn't undo what has been done. "Do you two think you're responsible enough?" He asked.
Brittany looked up. "Dave, we were being reckless, and stupid. To us, it was...fun, but we got carried away that one time." She said. Alvin glared at her when she said the word 'fun'. That was NOT a good choice of words.
Claire stared at them. "Fun? So you two did 'it' before? You two did 'it' more than once?" She asked them. Her voice was trembling.
Brittany and Alvin didn't dare to answer that. They didn't want them to know. Not only was it embarrassing, it was also 'inappropriate'. Brittany bit her lip after realizing that the choice of words she used wasn't exactly the right ones.
Claire shook her head. "You know what? I don't wanna know." She said. "I just can't believe that this is happening." She groaned. She started to cry silently again.
Dave took a deep sigh and turned to Claire, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "I know how you feel Claire. Imagine what I'm going through right now, Alvin is my...son. But I don't think yelling at them is the right thing to do right now, especially at a situation like this." He said quietly.
"He finally came to his senses." Alvin muttered. Brittany elbowed him in the ribs. Back talking is not a good thing to do right now.
Dave did feel furious when he first found out. But to his surprise, he seemed to calm down a bit. Brittany is pregnant, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. He realized that yelling was not the way to solve anything, it'll just make matters worse. So he calmed his temper down and looked at the 2 chipmunks in front of him. Dave sighed, he knew this was gonna happen someday, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Claire looked at Dave. "You're right." She said. She turned her attention back to the chipmunks. "Brittany, when did this happen? When did you find out?"
Brittany took a deep breath before answering, but her hands were still shaking. "Um, I found out last Friday." She said.
Claire shook her head. To her, it felt so weird talking about this subject. Never in a million years have they thought that any of the chipettes would get pregnant so soon. Of course, she knew that Eleanor and Jeanette would never do something like that. But Alvin and Brittany were unpredictable.
"Who else knows about this?" Dave asked.
Alvin said, "Well, you, Claire, Simon, Theodore, Jeanette and Eleanor." He chuckled nervously. "And soon, the entire world." He sighed.
Dave shook his head. "I hope you two know what this will cause."
"Yeah, news headlines, paparazzi, weekly tabloids." Alvin said.
Brittany rolled her eyes at his cockiness. "Gee, I bet you're gonna be happy with all that attention."
Alvin glared at her. "Brittany, this is the only time I don't want attention." He told her, which made her sigh out loud.
Silence fell between the four of them for a long time. It was so quiet that Brittany could hear her own heart beating. She was so scared to look up at Dave and Claire. She looked over at Alvin who was staring at the floor.
Dave cleared his throat. He looked at the clock. It read 1:45 AM. He looked at Brittany and Alvin. "Britt, Alvin, I hope you guys know what you're getting yourselves into. I'm not gonna say anything more because there's nothing anyone can do about it. We can't fix it anymore. You two are gonna be parents."
Claire wiped the remaining tears on her face. She looked at the two chipmunks. "Dave's right. There's no point in getting mad at you two anymore. You chose to do this, and it happened. But you two need to know how this will affect everything."
Alvin and Brittany both nodded their heads.
"Are you two sure you want to keep this baby?" Dave asked. "I mean, it is hard work. As I said earlier, you two are still in school, and you two are celebrities. Can you manage your time in everything?"
Suddenly, lots of thoughts ran through Claire's head, all relating to the baby. A bolt of sadness ran through her when she got the thought of the baby, not getting enough love because Alvin and Brittany were so busy with everything. Claire spoke up.
"I'm gonna help you with the baby, Brittany." She said.
Dave, Brittany and Alvin looked at her. Brittany blinked once. "W-what?"
Claire nodded. "I can't imagine the baby without you and Alvin. So if you want, I can take care of the baby once school is starting again. I don't want anything bad happening to it." Claire suggested.
Brittany smiled. "Oh, would you really do that?" Then her smile disappeared. "But, what about your job?"
Claire thought about it for a while. "I'll stay here and stay with the baby, and when you guys get home from school, I'll go to work."
Dave laughed lightly. "Claire, you're always one step ahead of yourself. But are you sure you want to do this?"
Claire nodded. "Yes, of course. Dave think about it. You're gonna be a...grandfather." She giggled. "Do you want the baby to get all the love it can get?"
Dave sighed. "Yeah, but-"
"Then that's what I'm gonna do." Claire said.
Brittany felt so guilty. Claire was doing this, so she and Alvin wouldn't worry about too much things. "Claire, we appreciate it, we really do, but I feel really bad that you're giving up your job just because-"
"Brittany, it's no problem at all, I swear. I don't really like my job anyways." She smiled.
It was silent again. After 5 minutes, Dave stood up. He looked at Brittany and Alvin. "Well, thank you guys, for telling us." He said.
Alvin looked at him. "You're not...mad?"
Dave sighed. "I was mad, when you first told me, Alvin. But now, for some reason, I'm not anymore."
Alvin gulped. Was he joking?
"I'm sorry for yelling at you guys, it was just something I didn't expect at all." He said. "Listen, I had a long day today. I think I'm gonna go to bed now."
Alvin and Brittany said goodnight to him. Dave walked into the hallway, and into his room. There sat Claire.
"Claire, you're not mad at us, right?" Brittany asked.
"I was, just like Dave said, it was something that wasn't called for. But I'm not anymore, but I'm still pretty shocked that this is happening." She paused for a moment. Then she stood up. "I'm pretty exhausted as well, so I'm gonna go to bed now too. Are you guys okay?" She asked.
Brittany nodded. "Yeah, we're okay."
Claire smiled. "Goodnight guys, and make sure you don't stay up too late."
Alvin looked surprised. Usually, or mostly, Dave and Claire would never let them stay up. "Wait, you're letting us stay up?"
Claire nodded. "Only if you two behave, but that doesn't matter anymore. I trust you two now." She smiled at them, then walked away, into her room.
Now it was just Alvin and Brittany sitting on the couch, everyone else was in their room. Alvin took a deep sigh and pulled Brittany close to him. "That was probably the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life."
Brittany laughed. "Yeah, I know. Me too."
Alvin looked down at her. "Britt, are you ready to be a mom?" He asked nervously.
Brittany sighed again. "Oh, ready as I'll ever be." She said with sarcasm. "You?"
Alvin yawned. "Yeah...me too."
"Are you sleepy?" She asked.
Alvin nodded.
"Me too. Let's go to bed." Brittany said.
She and Alvin got off the couch and walked towards their rooms.
"Goodnight Alvin." Brittany said, walking closer to him.
Alvin wrapped his arms around her and kissed her for a long time. Brittany returned the kiss. They stayed like that for at least 2 minutes before pulling away.
"Goodnight." He said, before walking into his room.
:) I decided to make it cute to end the chapter.
Well, now that Dave and Claire know...I can finally get onto the 'baby' stuff! YAY.
