Thank you so much for the reviews they make me so happy!

Jade being in complete denial about the pregnancy was going about her life as normal. Tori on the other hand after finding out about her friends pregnancy had found herself doing a little research. It had been a week since they filmed the brain squeezers show and Tori was sat on the sofa reading up on degrees of morning sickness when she noticed something rather odd. Jade was stood on her tip toes reaching for a glass from a high shelf in the kitchen and her top rolled up a little. That was when Tori saw it, it wasn't big but it was obviously a bump.
'Are you.. showing?' Tori tilted her head to the side staring at the goths stomach in surprise. Jade looked down and immediately covered herself up.
'No, don't be stupid' Jade snapped back quickly.
'Nuh uh, lift your top up!' Tori demanded walking over to the pale skinned girl who crossed her arms immediately
'No'
'Jad-'
'No!' Jade interrupted.
'Jade, please please acknowledge this!' Tori pleaded with the black haired girl.
'Ughh! What do you want me to do?' Jade snapped, looking down awkwardly.
'See a doctor. You don't have to talk to Beck, or your parents or to me.. but please just go to the doctors' Tori said calmly, knowing this may be the only way to progress with this. Jade stayed silent, a good sign Tori thought. She was considering it. Tori held her breath as she watched Jade process her thoughts. The pale teen walked over to the kitchen table and took a seat, taking out her phone she looked at it for a good minute before dialling.
'Hi.. can I make an appointment with Dr. Rose?'
Jade was thrown when the receptionist informed her that due to a cancellation, she could have an appointment that afternoon but Tori had quickly realised what was going on and encouraged her to take the appointment. She was tense for the rest of the day so Tori came along for support. Sensing how nervous the teenager was Dr. Rose spoke softly with the already anxious teenager before going on to do several tests including a pregnancy test.
'So you've made your decision?' Dr. Rose asked once the test came back positive. Jade nodded, she didn't think she could go through with either adoption of abortion and if she knew Beck at all she knew he would feel the same.
'In that case, congratulations Mummy' Dr. Rose smiled sympathetically finding the black haired girl very difficult to read. Dr. Rose had long blonde hair and she looked like she could be in her 30's. Jade couldn't smile back. This was the first time anyone had ever called her that and it made her feel even more anxious.
'I'd just like to assess how far along you are, do you know when your last period was?' Jade thought back, realising she couldn't even remember.
'Ok don't worry.. Can I take a look at your stomach? Just lay back on the bed for me.' The doctor began to feel around and press lightly on Jades stomach and Jade couldn't help but notice the surprised look on the doctors face.
'How long did you say you've been experiencing nausea for?'
'About a month' Jade confirmed.
'Have you noticed your bra feeling tighter recently?'
'Erm kind of, I guess.' Jade said wondering why she was suddenly asking all these questions. 'Is something wrong?'
'No nothings wrong just, put your hand here' Dr Rose guided the pale girls hand towards her lower abdomen. Jade felt around and then looked at the doctor confused.
'Is that..?'
'Thats definitely the start of a bump'
'Oh my God' Jades eyes widened as she felt the bump, Tori had been right after all.
'I'd like to do an ultrasound, we could probably hear the heartbeat, is that ok with you?' Jades face fell.
'It's just I'm not sure how far along you are. It's important we find out' Dr. Rose said firmly. Jade kept quiet for a moment thinking it through but eventually nodded.
'Could I get my friend from the waiting room please?' Jade asked quietly.
'Whats her name, I'll call her in'
'Are you alright?' Tori asked cautiously as she took a seat on the comfy chair next to the bed on which her friend was laying on in apparently deep thought. The last thing Tori expected whilst she was sat in the waiting room was for the doctor to call her in and to tell her that Jade West was asking for her.
'She wants to do an ultrasound' Jade explained her expression solemn.
'And that's bad because...?' Tori questioned
'We'll hear a heartbeat'
'And?'
'He should be here for that' Jade said quietly, looking upset. Tori frowned and glanced at the doctor who was already setting up the ultrasound equipment and looked at the two girls sympathetically.
'I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think it was necessary, this ultrasound probably won't show much anyway but you are welcome to come back with the father for the second one' Dr. Rose said as she came closer to the bed.
'See Jade? It's fine, you can get another one' Tori said trying to remain positive even though she too felt like Beck should be the one sat there not her. Dr. Rose lifted Jades top up and placed the gel on her stomach.
'Ok.. lets do this. If I can't get a good picture then I'll have to do an internal scan but I think we'll be good' Dr Rose said pressing the ultra sound device against Jades abdomen. The gel was cold and for the girl who hated anyone touching her it felt awkward and uncomfortable letting someone do this. It was silent for a few seconds and then suddenly a sound filled the room. The heartbeat.
Jade and Tori looked at each other their eyes wide as they processed what they were hearing. It was muffled and distant, but definitely there. Dr. Rose turned the screen and for the first time the two girls saw the image of the tiny human growing there.
'So Jade, It looks like your a little further along than I first thought. You're about 12 weeks along. It's too early to determine the sex but everything looks normal and healthy. You're just entering the second trimester so hopefully the nausea should stop soon. Would you like some pictures?'
Jade nodded still in a state of complete shock. Hearing the sound of her babies heartbeat was overwhelming, terrifying and beautiful.
'Wait that cant be right' Tori suddenly popped in. Jade and the doctor looked towards Tori in confusion.
'You and Beck got back together at the Full Moon Jam. If you're 12 weeks pregnant how could..' Tori's mouth dropped and she looked at Jade shocked 'Is this why you've been putting off telling Beck? He's not the father?!'
Jade covered her eyes with her palms and exhaled trying to stop herself from lunging forwards and strangling Tori.
'I'm just going to go get you some leaflets and a prescription for the anti-nausea medication' Dr. Rose smiled, leaving the room obviously to give the two girls some privacy. As soon as the door clicked closed Jade moved her hands from her face revealing her death glare.
'Who's the father Jade?' Tori asked seriously.
'Oh my god, it's Beck, it's Beck obviously!'
'I don't understand, 12 weeks is like 3 months, you've only been back together for a month'
'Ughh!' Jade groaned covering her eyes with her hands
'Jade..' Tori said in a warning tone
'Beck and I have been.. messing around for a while'
'I don't understand'
'WE WERE HOOKING UP! GOD TORI!'
'What?! Since when!'
'Since he did that stupid blonde squad movie' Jade admitted, not looking Tori straight in the eye.
'Noo!' Tori said in shock, 'No way. No!'
'Well.. Tell that to my unborn child' Jade said sarcastically.
'That explains why Beck was so opposed to the Meredith thing and oh my God the opposite date'
'Uh huh.. Thanks for that by the way'
'3 months along.. you only have 6 months left.'
'Thanks Tori I don't know what i'd do without you here to do the maths for me'
'Thats not a lot of time, there's so much to do!'
'Once again thank you so much Tori. No really, you're helping. Like I don't already know that! Like I'm not shit scared!' Jade shouted exasperatedly.
'Language!' Tori exclaimed, getting an eye roll from Jade. The door opened and Dr. Rose smiled walking in with her hands full. She had tons of leaflets, vitamins, prescriptions and various other things. Jade just nodded along not really listening as the doctor handed her the thing she really wanted. That small black and white photo. Dr. Rose trailed off realising there was no point telling her anything important now as she just stared at the picture in a trance.
They left the surgery and Jade still didn't say a word, she just stared at the photo. They sat in Jades car for 5 minutes and Jade still made no signs that she would be starting the car any time soon.
'Jade?' Tori said taken aback back, 'Are we gonna go home any time today?'
'I-' Jade whispered placing one hand on her slight bump but not taking her eyes off the photo. Shaking her head she suddenly seemed to come out of the state of trance she was in and turned to face Tori.
'Woah.. Weird right?' Jade said, turning to face Tori.
'Scary actually' Tori admitted, never having seen this side of Jade ever. Jade put the photo carefully in her bag and finally started the car. They didn't speak all the way back to Tori's house but neither girls minded as their heads were too clouded with their own thoughts.
'Aren't you coming?' Tori asked when they pulled up outside the Vega household. Jade shook her head.
'No, ermm, i'm gonna go talk to Beck' Jade said quietly.
'Really?' Tori cried, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Jade nodded and the tanned girl threw her arms around her and hugged her. 'You're doing the right thing' Tori assured her before hopping out of the car, not wanting to stay long enough for Jade to change her mind. Taking a deep breath the goth began to reverse out of the drive. It was the route she'd done a million times. She was nervous. But she knew this conversation was long overdue.
Pulling up outside the RV she took one last look at the ultrasound photograph. So much had changed in such a short amount of time. Only last week she was living a perfectly normal teenage life and now she was 12 weeks pregnant. What if Beck didn't want anything to do with her after she told him? She didn't think she could take any more rejection.. not after what happened with her parents. But she knew it was the right thing, she had to tell him and she stuffed the ultrasound photograph into her jeans pocket.
Climbing out of the car she decided to do it quickly and ran over to the RV and banged on the door. But Beck didn't answer.
'Jade?' Jade spun around at the sound of her boyfriend calling her from the house. He walked down the yard, grinning excessively
'I need to tell you something' Jade began.
'I was just about to call you!' Beck spoke at the same time. Too excited to contain himself anymore, Beck lifted Jade up and spun her around.
'Whats going on?' Jade furrowed her eyebrows as soon as he put her back on the ground, startled by her boyfriend's sudden enthusiastic behaviour.
'I got the part! Remember that movie I told you about? They start filming next week!' Beck was giddy as he pulled her by the hand and into his house. His parents were sat in the living room and had popped open a bottle of wine in celebration. Beck was ecstatic! This was huge. This wasn't just a small part.. this was a lead role.
'And they start filming in London! I'm going to England!'
I'm really sorry about the ending, I'll try and update soon!
