(Now at thanks giving...FYI the baby is now 12 weeks)
Sarah POV
I gulped hard as I watched Shane pack my belongings for me. Even though I was only three months gone, I found it difficult to go half an hour without either throwing up the entire contents of my stomach or feeling the need to sit down. Pregnancy sucks. I knew it wouldnt be fun and games, but i miss the days where i could keep my meals down or where i'd be able to eat normal meals without craving salmon and hot sauce.
Ever since Shane had vowed he would stand by my side through thick and thin, he's practically taken the role as my personal slave. And to be honest, it was beginning to get on my nerves.
And then of course there's the big Thanksgiving visit we'll be embarking on in a matter of hours, I don't want to imagine what his parents think of me, what if they hate me?. I'll be 'The girl who has ruined their sons life' just the reputation I want. It's all he had been going on about for the past few days, how excited he was to see his family and his best friend Mitchie. A name i must have heard hundreds of times recently, Mitchie this, Mitchie that... I don't know what it is about this girl but whenever Shane mentions her, his face lights up and is if he is on cloud nine. Something tells me a certain Shane Grey may have a slight crush.
It was a good week or so after i told Shane before I plucked up the courage to tell my parents, I sent them a text. Not the best method, I know, but I didn't have the guts to look at them cold in the eyes. They've practically disowned me, well my mom anyway, she doesn't believe in casual relationships let alone pre-marital sex.
My dad on the other hand always did as my mother had said, he was a push over, it was if he didn't have his own mind at times. He would call me when my mom had disappeared for another one of her nights out with the girls, asking me how I was and if there was anything he could do for me. All I wanted to do was to come home, it wasn't that far from the college, I just wanted to be around people who I felt safe around, who could look after me, I wanted to act like the child. But that wasn't a possibility. Mom wouldn't let me set foot in the house, I was a disgrace in her eyes, but I guess I always had been.
No one could compare to my sister. My beautiful, all knowing, whiter than white, sister- Alison. She was a college graduate and was now studying to become a financial lawyer at Harvard. She was the type of girl everyone aspired to be- pretty, smart and successful, but my god was she prude. She practically spent the best part of her teenage years locked away in her room or in the library reading about things that would probably be no use to anyone. And as for guys? I think the most contact she had with a guy between the ages of birth and 19 was an accidental brush of the shoulders. But now she was in a 'respectable' and steady relationship with some hot shot guy called Callum, who just so conviently happened to be extremely rich. To be honest i just think my sisters a gold digging bitch who will end up having some mental crisis at the age of 24 and run off with his money to Vegas and get married to some guy called paolo.
Shane zipped up my suitcase and placed it on the floor, extending the handle up "Was there anything else you wanted me to pack? Do you have enough painkillers for the journey?"
"I think you've practically packed my whole entire life into that suitcase. And yes, I have plenty, stop worrying, it's an hour away, it's not like we're driving to Australia." i rolled my eyes
He threw up his hands defensively "Okay, I'm sorry....do you want me to bring a bin in the car, just in case you feel sick?" his voice became frantic again
"Shane stop worrying! I'm a big girl you know" I instinctively placed my hand over my now slightly swollen stomach
He looked to the floor, slightly embarrassed at his over reacting "Okay, but I can't help but worry."
"C'mon you, let's go get Jason, we don't want to be late do we" I rubbed the top of his arm reassuringly before smiling; he returned the smile as he grabbed my suitcase, leading me out of the apartment.

MITCHIE POV
I was practically running around like a headless chicken, trying to get everything ready, I glanced at the clock, knowing I didn't have long before I would be bombarded with endless hugs from Jason and Shane. Ever since me and Shane had made up, its been just like old times, besides the obvious distance. We spent hours upon hours on the phone talking about absolute nonsence, and if i wanst on the phone to Shane i was talking to Jason. Actually come to think about it, in one way or another i spend all my waking moments either with or talking to either Shane, Nate or Jason.
Shane had literally begged me on the phone one night to let Jason spend the week at mine seeming as he had a 'secret' guest to house. I hadn't really hesitated with my decision, I absolutely loved Jason, he was the perfect cure to a bad mood. Yet I couldn't help but wonder who Shane's other guest was...
I glanced at Nate who was slumped on my sofa with his iPod playing a full volume, his eyes firmly closed. So much for being a gentleman, he hadn't even once offered to help out.
I walked to the kitchen, opening the freezer and grabbing the nearest pack of ice before making my way back into the living room. I bit my lip, trying to suppress my smirk as I quickly grabbed Nate's waistband and dropped the bag of ice.
I took a step back as his eyes shot open "AHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL?" He pulled out his headphones and gave me a death glare "MITCHIEE"
I couldn't help but laugh as his voice went high pitch, revenge is oh so sweet.
"Yeah?" I inquired politely, trying my best to play the oblivious
"What was this for?" he asked, now fully standing up, retrieving the ice pack from his pants.
"That wasn't me..."
"Well who was it? Pixies?"
"Maybe, but I think it's more likely to be smurfs..."
"Oh very funny Mitchie, ha ha ha....Just you wait, I'll get you back" he smirked mischievously
I laughed, as I continued dusting the dining table "I'm sure you will"
A good half an hour passed after Nate had left to clean his room before the door finally rang, I felt my stomach erupt with butterflies as the excitement of seeing Shane and Jason was getting a little too much. I practically sprinted to the door to be greeted by the cheesiest grin I'd ever seen
"JASON!!!!!" I jumped up wrapping my legs around his waist as he spun me around
"MITCHIE! "He put me down and hugged me again tightly
"How've ya been crazy kid?" I asked him
"Good! Nothing to complain about! Actually I was getting a little bored, Shanes not that fun"
I laughed as a voice coughed from behind him "Excuse me" he said mocking hurt "I'm a lot of fun... when I want to be"
He pushed Jason to the side and extended his arms "And there was me thinking I was your best friend"
I laughed as I walked into his arms, accepting his embrace "You are, but let's face it, Jason does give the best hugs" Shane tightened his grip around me as I breathed in his cologne, closing my eyes.
I opened them a matter of seconds later to see an unfamiliar figure standing at the bottom step looking extremely uncomfortable. I blinked hard before looking at them again...it was a girl...Oh no he didn't.
I pulled away abruptly "Shane, who's your guest?"
"Oh this is Sarah" he turned around and grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer "Sarah, Mitchie. Mitchie, Sarah"
I smiled politely through gritted teeth as I shook her hand. Just when I thought this thanksgiving was going to be the best to date, he had to ruin it by bringing the mother to be with him. I inhaled deeply as I tried to calm myself, the urge of slapping that pretty face of her, becoming even more tempting. Sure she hadn't done anything to me personally but she's ruined my chances of ever getting my prince charming.
I quickly took my eyes off of her and look towards Jason "So I'll show you to your room" he nodded "Oh and I'll see you later Shane" I added, still not looking at him but waving my hand as to say 'go'
"Okay" he agreed sounding slightly disappointed before shutting the door behind him and Sarah.
As soon as I heard the door click, I narrowed my eyes at Jason "You could have warned me that Shane was bringing her "
His eyes softened "I'm sorry, I didn't find out until yesterday and well I was too excited to see you that I totally forgot to warn you"
I sighed heavily, feeling completely defeated. I couldn't be mad at Jason, even if I tried. "It's okay Jase. Is she staying for the whole of Thanks Giving?"
He bit his lip and nodded
"Oh great" I said sarcastically.
"C'mon Mitch show me to my room"
I nodded as I leapt up the stairs, Jason following eagerly with his famous leopard print suitcase. I led him to the room next to mine which had joining doors. Something tells me that I'd be regretting that those doors were ever fitted...

SHANE POV
I sighed as I left Mitchie's , it was almost as if she was in a hurry to get rid of me. I know that she was only going to show Jason where he was staying, but part of me wished it was me staying with her, that she jumped me not...Jason! I snapped out of my jealous thoughts as I noticed Sarah walking quietly behind me.
"You okay?" I asked her concerned, maybe she was feeling sick, maybe something was wrong with the baby
"Yeah..." she said quietly, i guess she was nervous about meeting everyone. I nodded as I opened the front door, to be greeted with my parents waiting eagerly at the bottom of the stair case. I had told my parents about a week ago that I planned to bring Sarah along, after all they were going to have to put up with her for a very long time. They had finally accepted the fact that I wasn't playing some cruel joke on the pair of them, and that I was in fact a soon to be father.
"Hi mom, dad" I said my hello's and exchanged hugs before introducing Sarah
"Guys this is Sarah" I looked towards her, her face slightly paler than usual
"Hi Mr and Mrs Grey, it's really nice to meet you..." she trailed off, not knowing what else to say. I quickly looked towards my parents to see how they would react to her
"Come here!" my mom said as she pulled Sarah close to examine her "Why aren't you a little stunner! And look-" she pointed at Sarah's now visible bump, she placed her hand on it "Oh hello future grandkid"
I couldn't help but smile at my mom. I watched as Sarah relaxed, laughing at my mom's comment. Even though I had accepted that Sarah and I were going to be parents, I couldn't help but think that this should be me and Mitchie. Maybe one day it will be, I can only hope.

JASON POV
I continued jumping up and down on Mitchie's bed as she rummaged through a cardboard box which she retrieved from under her bed
"Whatcha doing?"
"Well..." She sat up straight and looked at me "Every thanks giving we make something for one another, it can be serious or as a joke. And I haven't even begun thinking about what to make you guys"
"Well you know I'm easy to please...I'd be thrilled with a packet of potato chips or even better some pancakes drenched in syrup" Mitchie laughed as I looked at her seriously, the thing is I would be.
A light bulb went off in my head, I had to make sure that Shane made the sweetest, romantic and ...suggestive present he could. Operation Smitchie would finally be able to get under way
"What else do you guys do at thanksgiving?" Ever since Shane invited me along I had practically been on the edge of my seat. Thanks giving was never celebrated in my house, there was no reason to. My dad was always out of the country on business and when he was on home turf he was in some sleazy motel with his latest flavour of the week, whilst my mum held down three part time jobs just to pay the rent. Our thanks giving would consist of baked beans on toast or a burger from McDonalds.
And what made this that much better was that not only was I now celebrating it with one family, but two!
"Well the Torres-Gray thanksgiving consist of, games, karaoke, stories, presents, more presents and endless amounts of food, trust me there's never a dull moment. Oh and Nate, Jake and Shane always have a pudding eating contest which inevitably results in them throwing up all over my bathroom floor"
Nice. "Speaking of Jake, is he coming this year?"
She nodded " Yep, he's bringing Caitlyn along with him as well. They're getting pretty serious. My brother has never been able to hold down a girl friend for more than a couple of weeks. Looks like he's finally grown up"
I nodded and smiled as my mind drifted back to all the activities the next few days would have in store for me, it was as if I was going to heaven. I could sing Barbara Streisand and eat turkey till my heart's content.
Let the fun begin
