"9-1-1, please state your emergency."
"My friend is lying passed out on the floor and I don't know why!"
"Alright miss, calm down. May I have your name and location, please?"
"My name is Caterina Valentine, Best Apartments Complex on West 23rd Street."
"Okay, Caterina, what is your friend's name?"
"Beck Oliver."
"Alright, we're sending paramedics; stay on the phone with me Miss Valentine."
"Kay-Kay."
"Can you try to explain to me what happened?"
"I was leaving his apartment, so he went to grab at my arm and then he kind of looked like he was in shock. He fell to the ground and passed out a few seconds later."
"Do you know what could have caused this?"
"I don't know, he seemed normal until he went to grab my arm."
"Alright, well the paramedics are on their way to the location. Could you give me the apartment number?"
"Number 300."
"Alright."
Cat and Jade sat nervously in the waiting room, still confused about the whole situation. Jade's thumbs moved quickly across the keypad as she texted Robbie about everything that was going on. Cat was barely able to look at Jade in fear of crying and apologizing. She promised herself she would not be the one to apologize this time. She constantly found her hand resting on her stomach. Although she was still nervous, Cat began to feel light-hearted over the situation. Maybe having a baby wouldn't be so bad. She unlocked her phone, going to The Slap.
Jade West: Pretty sure my roommate is leaving me ;c At the hospital waiting to find out what happened to Beck. Mood: Sad & Confused
Robbie Shapiro: Heard what happened to Beck. I'd come but I am in charge of making sure a certain someone doesn't come back and get her things alone. Mood: Don't Hurt Yourself
Andre Harris: On my way, as soon as I convince my grandma that my phone is not an actual pear. Why couldn't she have stayed in LA? Why does Jade's status say Cat is leaving? Where you going Red? Mood: Questioning
Tori Vega: Oh my GOD, Beck! Hope you're okay! I'd come, but Trina is being a douche. P.S.-Why is Cat leaving Jade? Mood: Curiously Furious
Cat giggled at Tori's mood, before typing a status of her own.
Cat Valentine: At the hospital, hope Beck is okay! I need a place to stay! Any takers? Mood: Homeless
Cat clicked Post as a spunky nurse came out, calling for friends of Beck. The girls jumped up, running over to her.
"Is he okay?!" Cat asked, before the nurse could say anything.
"He's fine; the doctor will take you to his room and explain what happened," she said in a bored tone as she pointed out the same doctor Cat had so many weeks ago. She approached, smiling at the Goth and red head.
"Hello, girls, how is everything?"
"Great!" Cat lied. "What happened to Beck?"
"Beck experienced what we call anaphylactic shock, which is a shock after having a severe allergic reaction. After what Beck said, we are assuming it was to the spider bite he received a few moments before Cat arrived at his apartment, but the tests are showing he's doing quite well," she said, leading them down a darker hallway. She pointed to a room, saying it was Beck's. "We're going to ask that only one of you go in at a time."
"Kay-Kay, thank you," Cat said to the doctor as she began the long trek back down the hallway.
"Cat, you can go in first."
"Kay-Kay."
Cat walked into the room to see Beck laying back watching a wrestling match on the television. He turned and saw her, smiling, the feeling he had before passing out not returning. Maybe he was just hallucinating after the spider bite.
She sat down in the chair next to him, placing her hand on his. "How are you feeling?"
"Better I guess," he said, finally taking his eyes off the TV. "I've experienced worse."
"Than this?" she asked, giggling. "I'm sure." She rolled her eyes as she began to grow slightly nauseous. No, not here, not now.
"It's a little weird."
"How so?" she asked, trying her best to ignore the feeling in her stomach.
"Last time we were here, you were the one in the bed."
Cat tried to laugh, though the feeling was over whelming. "I'm sorry," she said, running to the small bathroom. She let the feeling win, barfing into the hospital toilet. She felt a hand on her back, although she ignored it at first. When she finished, she flushed the toilet, turning around to see Beck. "Get back in bed!" she yelped, jumping up. She led him back to bed, where he looked relieved.
"Maybe you should talk to one of the maternity doctors while you're here, see if they have anything to make the throwing up better."
"I don't want to go by myself."
"Ask Jade to go with you."
Cat looked away. Beck put his hand to her cheek, saying, "You can't be mad at her forever."
"I can be mad at her now, though. Andre and Tori said their coming; I'll ask one of them to go."
Beck pursed his lips. "You still set on moving out?"
"Yep, I've needed to leave for a while now."
"Well, if you can't find anywhere else to stay, you're more than welcome to come with Shapiro and I."
"Thanks, Beck. Feel better."
Than she left.
Cat walked out to see everyone in the gang but Jade.
"Whoa, whoa," I said. "One at a time." Andre raised his hand sarcastically. "Yes, Andre?"
"Are you seriously moving out?"
"Yep," she answered.
"Why?" Tori asked.
"Certain reasons, but guys, I have HUGE news."
Robbie smiled, Cat assuming that Jade already told him.
The questions began to soar again.
"I'm pregnant!" Cat blurted out excitedly.
"What?!" Tori exclaimed. "By Garrett?"
"I'm trying not to think about that, just about the little baby inside. I'm already so in love with it. I have to go to a doctor though, to see if I can have a medicine for my morning sickness."
"I'll take you, Red," Andre said, stepping up.
"Thank you, Andre," Cat smiled as Andre came and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Jade said she is going to rent us a hotel room right down the street," Robbie said.
"Kay-Kay! This will be so much fun!" Cat exclaimed.
They all smiled as Andre led her off to the maternity ward.
The pediatric doctor squeezed the cool gel on her young girl's small stomach, smearing it everywhere.
"What does it feel like?" Andre asked. "You know, possibly having another human inside you."
"Weird," Cat laughed as the doctor smiled.
"Alright, Miss Valentine, if you're pregnant, you will see a small bean sized spot on the screen right up there," she said as she pointed to the flat screen mounted on the other side of the small room.
They waited until; soon enough, a little spot appeared on the screen. Cat laughed happily as Andre just sat in shock.
"Okay, Miss Valentine, I'm going to take you off of your antidepressants, and put you on a prenatal that you will need to take every morning. I took pictures of the ultrasound, you should recieve them in the mail sometime next week. Congratulations, Caterina," the doctor said, cleaning her off and leaving her with the still Andre.
"Andre?" Cat called.
"Our little Cat is having a baby," he said, still staring forward.
Cat giggled, grabbing his hand and walking out of the room.
