New Years Eve

Ted sighed as he began to crush bags of ice. The fighting with Kristen hadn't gotten any better, and any time she could, she would accuse him of cheating with either some ring rat or even Carly. He had finally decided to officially end the engagement. As he poured a bag of the crushed ice into one of the coolers, he heard the doorbell ring. When he opened the door, he wasn't surprised to see it was Kristen. He purposely asked her to come early so they could talk.

"Hey baby!" she said jovily as she quickly pressed her lips to his before entering the house.

"Umm...hey," he said confused. He then shut the door and glanced at Kristen one more time. She was definietly in alot better mood than the last few weeks. "You seem like your in a good mood!"

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Oh I don't...maybe the way you have been acting."

Kristen casually shrugged and walked into the kitchen. "Ted, I have the most amazing news ever! What would you say that we finally set a date for the wedding?"

"Umm...yeah we could talk about it. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, anything before July. I found out today that I am pregnant with our baby!" Kristen exclaimed.

Ted was shocked, but happy at the same time. He instantly took Kristen in his arms and gave her a long soft kiss. "I love you," he said smiling. The thought of breaking off the engagement immediately left his mind. Even though he truly loved Carly, he couldn't abandon his baby like that.

Kristen returned his smile and hugged him tighter. "I love you too, Ted."

A few hours past, and soon Ted's house was slowly beginning to fill with people. Carly and Mickie soon made it, and she immediately began to look for Ted. When she found him standing by the french doors talking with John and Cody, it literally broke her heart to see his arm draped around Kristen, looking in love as ever.

"Damn," Carly said.

"What's the matter?" Mickie asked as they walked over to the kitchen to grab drinks.

Carly pointed in the direction of Ted and Kristen. "Look over there. It looks like you were right...Ted and Kristen patched things up."

Mickie pulled her friend into a hug. "Sorry babe. It's like I told you, yeah couples fight, but fights can be mended."

Carly nodded as Ted walked into the kitchen, neither girl noticing. "Hey ladies!" he exclaimed, both girls jumping. "I'm so glad you guys made it!"

Carly put on the best fake smile she could. "Hey Ted. It's a great party."

"Yeah, thanks for inviting us," Mickie said as she turned toward Carly. "I'm going to catch up with some of the girls. I'll see you guys later."

Carly nodded as she turned her attention toward Ted. "So...it looks like you and Kristen are getting along better."

Ted raised his eyebrows while he took a drink. "Yeah, this is the first time in weeks I have actually seen her in a good mood. She did give me some great news earlier though."

"Oh really. What was that?"

"Kristen is pregnant. We are going to have a baby."

Carly felt like she had been kicked in the stomach, but had to put on the best fake smile she could. "Ted, that's great! Congratulations!" she said as she wrapped her friend in a hug.

Little did either know, Kristen saw the two of them hugging and grew a disgusted look on her face. He does like her! she thought to himself as she stomped away. She grabbed a friend that came with her, Trish, and stormed off into another room.

Carly could feel tears starting to form as she finally broke the hug, and couldn't help but think Ted's face looked disappointed when she did. "Congratulations again Ted. Listen, ummm...I'll catch up with you later. I need to go find the rest room."

She could see a look of concern on Ted's face. "Carly, are you ok? Are those tears in your eyes?"

Carly laughed it off like it was no big deal. "Oh don't worry about it. I have allergies, remember?" she said as she took off. As she walked down the hall, she passed the game room. The door was partly closed, but could still hear Kristen and another girl talking.

"See, I told you he liked her!" Kristen spat to Trish. "He always said they were just friends, but I could tell by the hug he wanted more. That is why I came up with a brillant plan to break up their friendship."

"What are you talking about?" Trish asked.

"Well...you know Ted has been on the road alot, and probably sleeping with every ring rat in town. We've been fighting so much that I could tell he wanted to break up the engagement. Well, I came over earlier today, all happy and care-free. I then told him that I was pregnant!"

"You really aren't pregnant?" Trish asked.

"Nope. You see, if he thinks I'm pregnant, he wouldn't abandon his baby, so I start making up some excuses to have him by me, and ultimately he will be so busy that he will spend all his time with me!" Kristen said proudly, with a smile on her face.

Carly's jaw literally dropped as she listened to what Kristen was saying. She immediately walked away before being caught, and walked straight toward Ted, who was now in a tense game of poker. "Ted, I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Can it wait, Carls? I'm kind of in the middle of a game," he said, not taking his eyes off his cards.

"No it can't wait. Please." Ted looked up and saw by the look in her eyes that something was wrong. "Cody, take over for me man," Ted said as he handed the cards over to the youngest member of Legacy. "Don't lose any of my money!"

Carly then took a hold of Ted's hand and led him to the bathroom, where they could talk alone. "What's this all about?" Ted asked as Carly shut the door.

"Ted...Kristen isn't pregnant."

A look of disbelief came across his face. "What do you mean she isn't pregnant?"

"I walked toward the bathroom just a few minutes ago after we talked, and I heard her in another room. She was telling another girl that she told you this lie to break up our friendship."

"Oh come on! Carly, I know that you have never liked her, but to make up such an insane lie is crazy," Ted exclaimed.

"Why would I lie about something as important as a baby, Ted? I wouldn't. She doesn't want me in the picture!"

"This is insane!" Ted exclaimed as he opened the door and saw Kristen walking toward them. "There you are baby!" she said before lightly kissing him, and then saw Carly was also in the room. "What's going on?" she asked cautiously.

"Kristen, I heard your little confession earlier to another girl about not being pregnant. Now fess up, tell Ted the truth!" Carly said.

Kristen wrapped an arm around Ted's waist, and looked him straight in the eye. "Why would I lie to you about being pregnant? I want to have a family with you."

"Oh my God, this is insane!" Carly said covering her face in disbelief, and then dropping her hands again. "What about trying to break up me and Ted's friendship?"

Kristen smirked. "Oh, you probably heard Trish, and thought it was me. I don't know why, but she told some guy that she was pregnant as a cruel joke. I would never break up your friendship," Kristen said as she first glanced at Carly and then at Ted. "I know you guys have been friends since you were little kids. I would never do that," Kristen said innocently.

"Ted, do you believe all of this?" Carly asked.

"I don't have a reason not to, Carly."

Carly then glanced at Kristen and then at Ted. "One day, Ted you will figure out she's lying. One day," Carly said as she stormed out of the room, and ultimately out of the house.

Still in the bathroom, Ted wrapped Kristen in arms tighter. "Sorry for that baby. I don't know what got into her."

Kristen just casually shrugged. "That's ok. You guys are so close and now that we are engaged, she probably feels threatened," she said as she returned Ted's hug and smiled smugly into his shirt. Yeah, my evil plan is working!
