The next day, Chandler found herself in the Martin's living room, surrounded by silence. Each person was quiet and wanting to put an end to the awkwardness, but had nothing to say. Bailey, Bentley, and Kinley sat on the couch, while Scott and Chandler were on the love seat opposite of them. Cody had placed himself in his chair with Brady in front of him on the floor. Bailey had not wanted Brady in the room for this visit, but Cody disagreed, saying that since the youngest Martin was there for the big reveal, he needed to be there for this. Unfortunately, Bailey was over-ruled, for Cody always had the last say in things.
So, there they were, still not speaking, until Bailey cleared her throat. "Any time would be great, Chandler."
Cody glared at his wife, knowing she was mad, but she didn't need to be rude to the girl. Bailey rolled her eyes that the icy stare, ignoring it.
"Y-yes, sorry. Uhm, the reason we're here-" She gestured to herself and Scott. "-is because I didn't exactly tell everything there is to know..."
She trailed off, trying not to make eye contact with anyone. Bentley sat up straighter. "What's that?"
Chandler began to softly cry. "Bentley, you're not the father, Scott is..."
"You know that for a fact?" Cody asked sternly.
Chandler nodded. "I've known all along; I just didn't have the courage to tell you. I figured I had already hurt you too much and that this would just take it over the top..."
Bailey stood up angrily. "And you think that it doesn't hurt now, huh? What difference does it make whether you told us last night or this morning? It's still the same news despite when you decide to share it!" she yelled, causing Chandler to cry more.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry," wailed Chandler, who was shaking hard.
"Mom, I think you should leave," Bentley suggested quietly from his spot on the couch. "Please."
"No, no, no Bentley, I have every right to be here!" his mother argued.
"I agree with Bentley, sweetheart," Cody said, which shocked Bailey.
"What?" she asked.
"You need to cool down. Please leave," Cody demanded in the sweetest, yet forceful way he could.
Bailey huffed and stared at Cody for a few long seconds. She knew she wouldn't win this battle. After all, anything that Cody says, goes, and there was no fighting that. Bailey finally broke her gaze away, turned on her heel, and stormed out of the room.
Cody sighed and turned to Chandler. "Chandler, I'm very sorry about that, please forgive me for her outburst."
Chandler nodded. "It's alright, Mr. Martin. Thank you."
"Please continue," Cody offered.
"Well, um, I talked to Scott last night and told him the truth as well and we've decided that it's too early to tell whether we will keep the baby or not. My dad is still giving me the silent treatment and his mom doesn't even know about all this yet. My mom is pretty positive about all this, so she's leaning more on the side of keeping the baby, too..."
There was more silence as everyone took in this news. Cody nodded and patted his knees. "Okay, here's what we'll do. Since Bentley is not the father, we will not be helping you. I'm sorry, but that is not our responsibility. However, we'll be here for encouragement and support when you two actually come to a decision. I cannot promise what Mrs. Martin will say about all this, but this is what I've decided... Now, I think that you all should talk privately. Brady, go to your room, please."
Brady nodded and headed for the stairs. Soon, everyone else followed, all separating to figure out what to do.
Brady turned on his computer and opened his web chat, seeing if the specific person he wanted to talk to was on. Luckily, she was, so he opened up a window. "Hey Amanda," he greeted.
"Hey," Amanda Fink answered back. "How's everything baby-related? I know you only told me last night, but has anything else changed?"
"Oooh, yeah!" Brady laughed. "HUGE drama!"
"Tell," his girlfriend whispered while smiling.
"Okay, well, turns out that Bentley actually isn't the father and that Scott is. Chandler didn't want to tell all of us last night because she said it was 'too much'," Brady explained while using air quotes.
"Wow, what else?"
"My mom had a meltdown and was screaming at Chandler and made her cry, then my dad made her leave!" Brady laughed as he saw Amanda laugh too.
"I can totally see that happening!" Amanda agreed. "What happened after your mom left? Did your dad say anything?"
"Yeah, he said we aren't going to give her any money because it's not Bentley's kid, but he said we would be there for support," he answered. "Bentley and Chandler are talking while Kinley and Scott are too. I bet my dad is trying to calm down my mom, too."
"Whoa, I can't wait to see what happens with all of this..." Amanda said while shaking her head. "It's a lot to keep up with. I kinda feel sorry for all of you."
"I got dragged into it somehow," sighed Brady while slouching in his chair.
"Oh, you poor baby," pouted Amanda, but then she rolled her eyes and laughed. Brady laughed too, but stopped when a voice came in the background of Amanda's chat.
"Amanda, lunch is ready!" Addison called.
Amanda sighed and yelled. "Coming, Mom!" She turned back to Brady. "I'll talk to you later, bye!"
"Bye!" Brady said before they both signed off.
"Bailey?" Cody called softly while entering their room. "Bails?"
No answer came.
"Bailey?" he asked once more before the sound of a loud sob came from the bathroom. He walked in to find his wife sitting on the edge of the bathtub, head in her hands. Cody walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Shh..."
Bailey buried her face into his shoulder, letting all the tears flow freely into Cody's shirt. No words came from her mouth, but only wails that showed how she was really feeling.
All Cody could do was to hold her tighter and tell her everything would be okay.
Meanwhile, in Bentley's room, Chandler and Bentley were just staring at anything but each other.
Finally, Chandler broke the silence. "I guess this is it? We're done, aren't we?"
Bentley then made eye contact with her. "What else are we suppose to do?"
Chandler looked down. "I don't know; is there really ever an answer for that question?"
Bentley shrugged. "We could always stay friends. I mean, I don't mind agreeing with what my dad said. I'll support you on any decision you make... As long as it's not aborting the baby."
Chandler slightly smiled. "Don't worry, that won't happen." She paused. "Thanks, Bentley."
"For what?" he asked.
"For going through this without being such a jerk... I mean, that punch was pretty much the only thing you did. I've been such a bitch about all this and you've been the good guy getting all the crap that comes with it. I'm sorry."
Bentley sat down next to her. "No problem and like I said, I'm here for you."
Chandler smiled for real for the first time in a long time. She gave Bentley a long hug, in which he returned. It wasn't awkward until they pulled apart. "So, um, who told you that you weren't the father?"
Bentley's eyes widened. "Someone!" he answered quickly. "But I promised I wouldn't tell you who they were..."
Chandler sighed. "Fine, but you'll tell me sooner or later!"
"Dream on!" Bentley challenged while nudging her slightly. Another awkward silence fell over the room.
"Friends?" she asked.
"Friends," Bentley agreed as they smiled at each other.
Unfortunately, while Chandler and Bentley worked things out, Scott and Kinley were arguing.
"I'm sorry, but I can't just leave her! She's carrying my child!" Scott yelled.
"But what about us? I know this is a big deal to you, but you can't just drop everything else in your life!" Kinley shouted back.
Scott fell silent. "I don't know..."
Kinley felt tears forming. "I thought we had something special, Scott," she whispered. "I thought you cared about me... Loved me."
"I do, Kinley, but-"
"Then why would you leave me just like that!" she screamed through her tears. "It doesn't make sense! If you really loved me, then you want to try to work this out! You wouldn't just leave me to become a part of your past! Chandler is my best friend, Scott, and whether you like it or not, I will be helping her out with a lot of this... So, even if we do split, you'll still be seeing me!"
Scott looked away. "Kinley, I want to be there for my child, and that means I have to be there for the mother. I don't know if that means we'll be together, but I be around her; helping her and doing everything I can for her..."
"What do you mean 'together'?" Kinley was crying now and she didn't care.
He sighed. "I don't want to hurt you, but I think we need some space..."
Kinley narrowed her eyes. "What are you saying? That we should break-up?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry Kinley, but I'm breaking up with you."
A/N: OH! Just when you thought he loved her, then he leaves her in the dust... I brought in Amanda! I felt I needed to bring in their long distance relationship I mentioned earlier... So, Chandler and Bentley are friends while Scott and Kinley... Not so much..
Please review and tell me what you think! This story is almost over! :'(
Thanks!
