A/N: I'm sorry that I've been really slack in updating. I've been really busy lately and haven't had the time to sit down and write. To be honest I'm not completely happy with this part, but I need it in order to be where I want to be. I'd like to thank those few people who kindly took the time to review, this is for you.
Andie's eyes roamed the ground at her feet, her fingers fidgeting with whatever they could grasp. Chase watched her and his unease grew.
"Andie?" he said softly after a minute or so of Andie's nervous fidgeting. Andie looked up at him quickly.
"What? Oh, yeah, right…." She muttered. She stilled her fingers as she took a deep breath.
"Chase, I'm……I'm…….I'm pregnant," she struggled to get the words out, "I just, I wanted to tell someone." Her eyes searched his for a moment before falling to focus on the ground at her feet.
"What? How…..who…..what?" he stuttered after a minute of silence. Andie looked up at him, anxious to see how he reacted.
"Your parents never had that talk with you?" she joked. Chase glared at her.
"Who?" he demanded, "Who did this to you?" It was then that Andie caught on that Chase was assuming that this child wasn't one conceived through consent.
"What? Chase no, it's not like that!" she said quickly.
"What? Then what is it like?" he growled. Andie had never thought about Chase's reaction, and if she had then she wouldn't have ever imagined that he would react like this. She looked at his face and watched as the anger flicked through them, he looked as though he was going to explode.
"Chase calm down please! I…." She began, but Chase was too far gone to listen to her. He jumped up from his seat and began ranting and pacing. Andie could only watch in shocked silence as Chase muttered how he was going to 'kill the bastard' if he ever found out who he was.
"He goes to MSA doesn't he?" suddenly Chase burst from his rantings and asked her the question directly. She stared at him blankly for a moment. Unfortunately for her, Chase took her silence as a yes and started jumping to conclusions. He kept looking at her as he went through the names of all the male students at MSA that he thought could possibly pique Andie's interest.
"No, no, no, no, no…." she kept repeating to every name he mentioned. She didn't know where he was going with this and she didn't know what to do or say to calm him down. She knew that he wanted to know who had fathered her child, but how could she tell him that it was his brother? She wasn't an idiot and had caught on to the fact that Chase, like Blake, had feelings for her, and the last thing she wanted to do was cause a riff between the brothers.
"Chase!" she said sternly, interrupting his list of names and rants. "Chase, stop it!" Chase paused in his ranting and turned to focus his anger filled eyes on her. "You'll never figure it out, so just let it rest," she patted the bench beside her. He stared at her for a moment before slowly sitting next to her.
"I only told you about this because I wanted to tell someone. You're one of my best friends, this is one of the most exciting things that will happen to me and I want you to be a part of it. I know this is a huge shock to you, and believe me Bl…..both of us were as equally shocked," Andie caught herself before Blake's name slipped from her lips. She prayed that Chase hadn't noticed her near slip-up. She watched him as a series of emotions played upon his face.
"I need to go," he said abruptly. He stood up and walked away from her, leaving her sitting alone on the bench wondering how long it would take for him to figure things out and for her world to fall apart.
