Disclaimer: I own plot and nothing else.

Chloe's POV.

Derek hurried out of the kitchen, toward the hallway, Tori in his arms. I followed right behind him, and Simon and Mr. Bae weren't too far behind.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked, worried. He didn't answer. But I knew he knew. He rushed down the hallway, leaving me a few paces behind. "Derek." I whined. He turned his head back, to look at me. "I-I can't tell you." He mumbled, and kicked open Tori's door with his foot. It slammed open, and he walked in. When he reached her purple-sheeted bed, he gently laid her down upon it. Then he turned back to face me as Mr. Bae hurried to Tori's side and checked her over. After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Bae let out a long sigh of relief.

"I don't think she's hurt…I mean I cant see any damage…Derek?" He asked, implying that if he sensed anything-which I knew he had-he needed to tell us. He slowly turned back to face his Dad. Simon and Rae stood, one on each side of me. Simon's eyes studied Tori. He looked genuienly concerened. Rae looked worried, too. Her lips trembling.

Derek must've given his Dad a look, because Mr. Bae's facial expression turned to surprise. "Oh." Mr. Bae muttered. Then he turned to all of us. "I know you guys are worried about Tori, but…can you wait in the kitchen for a while? Just till she wakes up."

"Which should be soon." Derek said, looking back to me. Simon also glanced at me, and by the look on his face he was just as confused as I was. I couldn't read Rae's expression. "Yeah. Sure." Simon mumbeled, and motioned me to follow him to the door. But before I was out of the room, I managed to shoot Derek a suspicous glare.

Rae followed behind us silently.

Simon shut the door behind us. "What the hell." he said under his breath. He looked up to me. "I have no idea." I whispered. Rae just stood, arms crossed. "And when did Derek become so…un derek? I mean, I thought he hated Tori? Then again… since when did he become lover-boy?" She was almost inaudiable on the last sentnce. I glowered at her. "Sorry. I just…don't see it." She shrugged. I narrowed my eyes"Hey. He's sweet and kind, and there for me when I need him. He helps me, and I love him." I bit back. Rae cringed when I said "there for me." It took my a minute to figure out why. He's there for me when you betrayed us. I cringed too. Simon sighed. "I don't think this is the best place to discuss this." He whispered hastily. We both nodded, and headed off back to the living room.

We all sat on the couch, uncomfertable. For a few seconds, we didn't know what to talk about. I was too angry to really strike up a conversation. Angry at Rae, a little, yeah. At Derek? Yes. I was a little jealous of his new taking to Tori-but what bugged me the most was that he couldn't tell me what was wrong with her. When I told him everything, he couldn't just tell me what Tori had? Why? I didn't make sense.

We were all just silent for the longest time. Then Rae piped up with, "Sorry bout before. So…How did you to get together?" I decided I didn't want to fight anymore; I didn't have the energy.

So I told her.

Every so often she would widen her eyes in disbelief, or I'd see a hint of disgust in her face. When I finished, she blinked. "Wow…you live with him?" She raised her eyebrows. "Yeah." I replied. She looked down for a moment. "Is he a good kisser?Or-"

"OK! Who wants a drink?" Simon jumped up off the couch, interupting her. I bit back a laugh. "Coke, please." I said. "Same here." Rae waved him off, and Simon rolled his eyes as he walked into the kitchen. Rae lowered her voice. "So…what do you think happened with Tori?" She glanced around. I thought about that, hard. It could easily be explained. A medical condition. Or maybe something the Edison Group modified. But it was something more than that. I had that gut feeling deep down. Something happened.

Simon came back in with our drinks. He gave them to us, we thanked him, then he sat down in between us. Everything was quiet again.

"You know," Simon started, looking off into space. "Something weird is going on between my Dad and Tori. Some times the way he looks at her…" he shook his head.

"Woah, woah." Rae looked at him, wide eyed. He laughed. "No, not like that. Ew. No. It just seems like…I don't know. There's something in his eyes. Like when he looks at me, or Derek." He stopped. Then looked up to me and smiled. "Weird, huh? Maybe I'm reading too much into it." At that moment I wanted to tell him so badly. But… I couldn't. Mr. Bae wanted too. After all, these were his kids. I sighed. "It's not…crazy. I've seen it too. You…you should ask him about it." I suggested. Rae nodded, excitedily. Simon laughed at her egarness.

We heard a door open, and stiffened. We heard footsteps. Too light to be Derek's. Mr Bae popped his head around the corner. "She's awake. Derek and her are talking." He ran his hand through his hair. Another wave of anger struck me. My face must've given something away, because Mr. Bae said "I'll tell him you'll be waiting." and he walked back down the hall. "Derek's screwed." Simon laughed.

* * * *

About an hour later, Derek finally came out of the room, and told me we should get going. Rae and I exchanged numbers, and planned to meet up some time next week.

In the car, at first, there was nothing but silence. Then finnally I worked up the nerve. "You never told me what's up with her." I said quietly. Derek sighed, and looked over to me. "I really wish I could, Chloe, but-" "But what, Derek? I'm not stupid." I interupted. "I didn't say that. I-" he shook his head. We were silent again. He turned into the parking lot, and found a spot nice and close to the door. We got out, and walked to the front door, without a word.

* * * *

I pulled the covers over me, and buried my face in my pillow. It was 8:42 P.M. Pretty early to go to bed, but there was nothing else to do. I heard Derek's footsteps and my heart stuttered. "Chloe?" He whispered roughly. I sat up. "What?" I asked, still a little ticked. It really is a stupid thing to be mad over, my inner voice urged me. Derek came closer, then sat on the bed, making it squeak. He frowned at the noise. He took a deep breath. "You won't tell anyone, right?" He said it low, like someone could be in the next room. I nodded, feeling like a twelve year old. He sighed again. "Alright." He looked away, and scratched his neck.

"Tori's pregnate."

Alright, I know im going to get some comments about how I should've streched this out, made Chloe figure it out, but I swear there are a lot more twists.

How long has Tori been Pregnate? Did she know? And who's the father? And is it me or is Rae acting a little strange…
