Alright, due to my pilot working out, I'm going to keep the series going! Yay! This episode is called Water and a Test. Hope you enjoy it! WARNING: The pregnancy test part might be kinda... strange. LOL!


Last time, on BAILEY PICKETT!!!:

London: You don't have a date, do you?

Bailey: No, I honestly don't.


Cody: Ever since I found out you were a girl, I've been... secretly admiring you.

Bailey: C- Cody, what?


Bailey: Let's have sex!

Cody: Whoa, whoa, whoa, SEX!


Bailey and Cody having sex...


Bailey: (Standing in the hall with Cody) I love you.

Cody: I love you, too.


10 days later...

Bailey was in math class, jotting down notes when Cody caught her eye. He was staring at her, smiling. She smiled back, and Cody blew her a kiss. Bailey caught it and put it on her lips. She turned around and went back to her notes. Cody never stops, does he? I mean, I thought after we had sex, he was going to be avoiding me. I guess he really did mean that he loved me. Bailey's mind trailed off until the bell rang for dismissal. All the kids dashed out the door, and Bailey quickly wrote down a couple more notes she missed before heading out the door. Cody caught her just as she was about to leave the classroom.

"Hey baby!" said Bailey, grabbing Cody's hand and giving it a kiss.

"Hey, Bales!" he replied, giving her a kiss on the lips. They walked out the door and began to make their way down the hall. Cody and Bailey played along in their normal flirty way until Cody asked a serious question.

"Bailey, remember ten days ago?" Bailey stopped a moment, smiled, and began to walk again.

"Yes, that was our special night. How could I ever forget that?"

"I know. So anyway... did you have any coverage?" Bailey stopped Cody in the middle of the hall and held his hands.

"What do you mean by coverage?"

"I mean like birth control, condoms, maybe an insert. That kind of coverage." Bailey looked at him with a serious edge.

"No... did you?"

"...No..." said Cody, looking at the floor as he answered. They stood there a couple minutes, looking at the ground and slightly feeling the boat rock back and fourth. Finally, Bailey pulled up her head and Cody pulled it up to match hers.

"Cody, if we didn't use any coverage, do you think there's any chance I'm.. you know." Cody's eyes got glossy again and he used the back of his hand to wipe away this tears before they dropped to the ground.

"Have you gotten your period yet?"

"... No, and I was supposed to five days ago." As Bailey finished her sentence, she looked as though she were going to explode. Cody removed one of his hands and placed it on her face, stroking her chin and cheek.

"Well, you'll never officially know unless you take a test. You know, a pregnancy test." Bailey looked into his eyes and let out a sigh. She knew that sex wasn't ALL THAT, but she never knew things like this could happen on your first time. It made her want to turn back time. Bailey told Cody to be quiet as she saw someone coming down the hall. It was Woody, and apparently he was looking for Cody.

"Cody! Cody" he shouted, wiping his nose with the back of his hand.

"Cody! Cody! Come on, all the guys are on the deck waiting for you! It's Student Swim night! They landed at a near-by island and they're letting us swim close to the boat!" Cody looked at Bailey a moment, then at Woody. He DID want to go swimming and maybe tan a bit, but he knew Bailey needed him. Suddenly, Cody had an idea, but first he had to get rid of Woody.

"Woody, I think that girl you were dancing with at the Deep Sea Dance is on the beach. Oh, a bikini! It's so small, so tight, so... hey look! She's getting into the water. Looks pretty chilly..." Cody stopped there as he saw Woody run off. He turned back to Bailey, who now was crying.

"Bailey, don't cry! I highly doubt that you're preggo!" said Cody, hugging her tightly. Bailey could always count on Cody for a nice, warm hug when she was sad or angry or just wanted one. She kept crying as she spoke.

"Cody, you don't understand! I don't have a pregnancy test on hand! If I am pregnant, I don't want to be taken by surprise one day when my jeans won't button! I should've never asked us to have sex unless I was completely ready!" She was crying harder by the time she finished the last sentence. Cody rubbed her back to try to soothe her down a bit. Then he spoke again.

"Bailey, I have a plan. Let's get off the boat and search the island a bit. They probably have a little market somewhere." Bailey lifted her head up to look at him.

"How can you think about shopping at a time like this?"

"Bailey, I meant that they probably have a store that carries pregnancy tests."

"Oh." Bailey laughed, wiping her eyes and looking back at him. "I don't have any money on hand right now."

"Here, take this. It's about thirty dollars, which should be enough for a couple different tests."

"Why do I have to buy more than one?" asked Bailey, holding the money in her hands.

"Because if one is a false positive or false negative, you want to take a couple more, just to be sure."

"Wow, you know more about pregnancy than I do. And I'm the girl." The two of them laughed for a while, and then Cody and Bailey left the boat to find a store.


Cody had worked out a plan: Cody would hang with the boys for a brief amount of time, then he would call Bailey to see if she found anything. If she did, Cody would meet her up there and help her bring them back to her room. If she didn't, then they would have to ask a teacher if they had any. Bailey and Cody kissed goodbye and then they parted ways. Cody could tell Bailey wasn't shivering because the water was cold, but because of the fear of getting lost and not finding the right store.

Bailey walked up the western side of the beach, crossing her arms and rubbing them with her hands. She was worried that she would have to turn around soon, because she was about to cross the Student Restriction boarder. Once she did, she sighed, kicked some sand, and turned the other way. She was getting pissed with the Student Restriction boarders. What if there was a store across it? Never mind she thought. I have to look at all the ends of the beach!

Bailey was beginning to think she was going to have to ask a teacher for one, or for a teacher to cross the boarder and grab a couple because she checked the East end of the beach, too, and nothing was there. She couldn't check the North end, because it led straight into the water, and she highly doubted that the South end would have anything. Then again, she thought, Why not just try? She headed down the South end of the beach, and to her relief, she reached a small, gas station like store. They ought to have them here! Bailey thought excitedly as she pushed open the door. She stepped in and began to search the shelves.

Inside, the store was filthy and silent, except for the faint sound of smooth jazz on the radio. She kept being eyed by the cashier, a dark skinned, sickly skinny old man. She felt bad for him, but she had to keep her eye on the ball: pregnancy tests. She came across on aisle, and she found exactly what she wanted. She grabbed two Clearblue easy's, and two First Response's. She carried them up to the cash register, and the sickly old man began to ring her up. She began to blush, but she was never going to see him again, so she stopped herself.

"That'll be twenty dollars." Bailey handed him two ten's and he handed her the tests. Cool, he know's English! Bailey thought, handing him the money.

"Thank you. Do you have any bags to carry these in?" He pointed to a corner of the store where there were a couple plastic bags. She picked one up and stuffed them into the bottom. She twisted up the top and double knotted the bag so that nobody would look into the bag to see what she bought.

"Thank you again!" Bailey yelled out in a sing-song manner. Her phone suddenly went off. She picked it up and asked, "Hello? Cody?"

"Hey, Bales!"

"Hey."

"Did you find a corner store or something?"

"Yeah. I just bought some tests."

"Okay, I'll help you back to your room. Where are you?"

"Head up the South end of the beach."

"...Okay. Do I keep going straight or what?"

"Take a left at the large papaya tree, then keep going straight."

"Okay, I can see you from where I'm standing. Can you see me?"

"Hmm...." she hummed, looking around for him. Finally she spotted him, jumping up and down and waving his arms around like a crazy person. Bailey giggled into the phone before she answered him.

"I see you, Cody!"

"Alright, come over here and I'll help you carry the bag."

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!" Bailey hung up her cell and ran to Cody. Cody caught her in his arms and she giggled. He set her down and she handed him the bag.

"Whatcha' got in there? Looks like a lot of small boxes." Bailey giggled and replied, "I got two Clearblue easy's, and two First Response's."

"And no candy for the boyfriend?" Bailey laughed and handed him his money back. He stuffed it into his pocket and put the bag under his right arm. They made their way around the jocks safely and headed up the stairs. They ran down the hall and came to Bailey's room. Bailey stopped a moment and looked around before she asked for the bag. Cody handed it to her, and Bailey hid it under her left arm. She opened the door, hoping London wasn't there. Luckily, she wasn't.

"Alright. Take the tests and give me a call when you know for sure that you either are or aren't."

"Okay... wait!" Cody stopped and looked around.

"What? Do you want me here when you take them?"

"No, but... I don't have to pee."

"... What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I have to pee on the pregnancy tests, stupid. But don't feel like peeing."

"Then drink lots of water." Cody headed into his room for a moment, and then returned with some bottles of water. "I hope it goes right through you!" Bailey laughed and kissed Cody goodbye. She needed all the love she could get to gather her strength up to take the tests.


She closed the bathroom door and locked it behind her. As she broke open the bag, she pulled out the Clearblue's and one large bottle of water. She slipped her pants and underwear off and sat down on the toilet, chugging and chugging until she was about to burst. She opened one of the tests and peed on it. Then she stopped the flow for a moment so she could set it in the sink and open the other one. Then she let the rest go. She shook them around as the instructions told her and then she let them sit in the sink while she chugged more water. After about four minutes of waiting, the test windows showed a tiny picture. Both of them had the words PREGNANT on them. Bailey started to cry, but then she stopped herself and pulled out the other tests and peed on those. She shook them wildly for a few minutes, then she set them down. In a few minutes, the words YES and a + showed up on the windows. That was it. She was officially pregnant.

Bailey picked up her cell phone and put Cody on speed dial. He picked up almost immediately.

"Hey, Bailey! I've been waiting for you to call! What's up?"

"... Well..." Bailey could feel tears coming on. Her throat was swelling up, her eyes felt puffy, her heart felt like it was going to break in half.

"Bailey? You there? What did the tests say?"

"... I'm pregnant." There was a pause before Bailey started crying.

"Bailey, I'm sorry. Do you want me to come over?" Bailey nodded her head, but then she realized she was on the phone.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll be right there. Don't worry, everything's going to be fine, Bales!" He stayed on the phone until he came to her room. He opened the door and called out for Bailey.

"I'm in here." Bailey called out, unlocking and opening the door. She stood up and Cody came running in and hugged her. Bailey let out the loudest cries he'd ever heard, but Cody didn't care how loud they were. All he cared about was Bailey's health. He walked over to the sink where the tests sat in the sink.

"Are these the little trouble-makers?" he asked, picking one up. Bailey sat down on the toilet, sniffled, and nodded. Cody and Bailey sat there a moment, Cody telling funny stories about his mother and father, and even some experiences he'd had that were tricky, but always got a good chuckle out of telling. He wanted to see Bailey smile again. That smile could heat the world. he thought as she lit up. Bailey sat there, holding the tests in her hands and laughing at Cody's hilarious stories. Suddenly, Cody said, "We should probably get you to a doctor now." Bailey stood up suddenly, throwing her arms down.

"Why? The tests already told me that I'm pregnant! Why embarrass myself even more by making me go to a doctor?" Cody stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her.

"I don't want to embarrass you. It's just a good idea to visit a doctor and make sure. Plus, you can get advice from another girl."

"But you've already given me comfort, love, and advice. I don't want some doctor to take it all away."

"Naw, I don't think any doctor can replace me." Cody said, giving her a kiss on the lips. Bailey returned the kiss and she said, "Is there a doctor that specializes in that area on board?"

"I don't know, but there IS a doctor on board. I'm guessing they specialize in that kind of stuff. I mean, they're doctors. They went to school and studied all that stuff!" Bailey grabbed Cody's hand, her body shaking. Cody could tell again that she was nervous. "Loosen up! They're going to help you. Come on, dinner isn't until seven, and it's five-thirty. You should be able to go in and get checked out without an appointment."

"True, not a lot of people are sick these days." She stopped shaking and took a deep breath. "Okay, but you have to walk me there."

"Fine by me!" Cody kept holding her hand as they walked down to the doctor's office. Bailey asked if there was a doctor available while Cody waited in the waiting room. Bailey thanked the lady at the desk and sat back down next to Cody.

"Did you get an appointment?" asked Cody, looking around at the toys scattered all over the room.

"Yeah, in like five minutes."

"Oh. Well, I have to go. Zack needs me to help him out with a roommate problem. Call me when you finish up." Cody gave her one last tender kiss on the lips and then he disappeared up the stairs. Bailey sat there, hugging her knees and looking around the waiting area. Her hair was being swung all around as she twisted her head around to either sides.

"Pickett, Bailey?" called out a lady in a white jacket. Bailey looked up and waved.

"Hi."

"Come with me, the doctor is ready." Bailey stood up and walked into the back. She glanced behind her shoulder even though she knew Cody wasn't there. Then she turned back around and walked into the office...

TWO HOURS LATER...

"Thank you, Bailey. Come back in a few months so that we can set something up for an ultrasound, okay?" Dr. Allison called out as Bailey headed for the door.

"Okay." Before Bailey could open the door, Dr. Allison grabbed her arm and pulled her closer in so that she could whisper something to Bailey.

"Listen, if you ever need to take a little break from school or just relax without having to worry about the students, you can always hang out with me. I know how hard pregnancy is, Bailey." Bailey nodded her head and opened the door. She walked back to her room and shut the door so that nobody would walk by and see her crying. That was the most embarrassing thing Bailey had ever gone through. She knew she was better off listening to the tests, but Bailey knew that it was important to talk to your doctor when you're going through any kind of tough situation, sickness, injury, or pregnancy. Plus now, she could have an ultrasound and a safe birthing area. Bailey took a deep breath and let it out slowly, easing her breathing and stopping the violent shaking throughout her body. She wiped her eyes and put Cody on speed dial. It took a couple rings before he picked up, probably because he was having dinner.

"Hey Bailey." Cody said softly as he left to find a more peaceful place to continue the conversation.

"Hey Cody. I just got out of the doctor's ten minutes ago."

"Oh, did you try calling me before? I'm sorry if I didn't pick up, I was eating..."

"No, no, I just called you now."

"Oh, good. So, how did it go?"

"I'm officially pregnant, Cody." Bailey let out a fake laugh to try to lift her spirits. It didn't work.

"Oh. I'm sorry Bailey. I really am. I should've just gone along with your idea and trusted the tests."

"No, it was actually really good that I went. I got to talk to her about everything and she gave me advice. We also get to have an ultrasound!"

"Oh, cool! I've always wanted to see one of those!" Bailey laughed and rocked back and forth on her bed. Suddenly she heard the doorknob turning. Bailey dashed into the bathroom to hide the pregnancy tests behind a bunch of her junk.

"London's back. I gotta go."

"Okay, bye Bailey!"

"Love ya."

"Ditto." Bailey hung up her cell phone and walked out of the bathroom. London looked at Bailey as she opened up the door.

"Did you flush?"

"...No, I wasn't..."

"You wasn't thinking! Go flush! Eww, am I, like, your mother or something? Yuck!" Bailey rolled her eyes and headed back into the bathroom to flush the already clean water. Bailey froze up as soon as her hand touched the door knob. I'm gonna have to tell my parent's about Cody and I! she thought, letting go of the handle. And London too. And Zack. And Woody. And all my other friends! If I don't tell them, they're going to find out in a couple of months when they see me walk into class with a fat stomach! She told herself to chill out. She'd tell her parents tomorrow and worry about the rest of her friends another time. She walked out of the bathroom and opened her closet before London asked, "Did you forget to wash your hands, too? Ugh!" Bailey let out a groan, grabbed her PJ'S, and went into the bathroom to wash her hands and change for bed.

There, Chapter 1! Hope you liked it!
