Alrighty, time for a new month and a new chapter!

Month 5, week 1.


It was 6:45 on the dot. The sun had just started to rise. Bailey's alarm clock went off. It was her iPod, playing her and Cody's song the night they had sex, Thank You by The Redwalls.

"And so I said, "Thank you for being there, because you and me are gonna be alri-" Bailey rolled over and hit the pause button on her alarm clock. She smiled, stood up, and went to the mirror to brush her hair...

"LONDON!" Bailey shrieked, dropping the brush the moment she looked in the mirror.

"Ryan... yeah... I'd love to check out the sky deck with you.."

"Wake up, roommate from hell!" she said, walking over to her and hitting her with the paddle brush. London sat up in bed, removed her eye mask, and said, "What?"

"I popped, London."

"...What?" London asked, still half asleep.

"I POPPED!" Bailey shrieked again, stepping to the side to reveal her rather large, 5 month stomach. Just last week, Bailey had grown slightly, and only a few students seemed to notice. Bailey remembered being in the cafeteria last week on Thursday, eating a bowl of fruit salad, a bowl of regular salad, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a carton of orange juice, the popular girls from her class, Tracy Kembell and Veronica Wells, kept giggling and pointing at her. Bailey ignored them and continued to eat her feast. Cody, who was sitting next to her and trying to hold her free hand under the table, kept pointing them out. "Stop," Bailey said, stuffing a forkful of salad into her mouth. "If you just ignore them, they'll find another fat girl to pick on." Cody gulped and said, "You're not fat... you're pregnant." Bailey gave him the death glare, but shrugged it off, and agreed. I mean, she was! At the end of lunch, she stood up to toss out her trash she heard Veronica say, "Check out Bailey's stomach!" and started laughing. Cody took Bailey's arm and led her to class.

Last week, it looked like Bailey had stuffed a small rubber bouncy ball under her shirt. It wasn't very big, but a handful of kids kept pointing it out. Now, it looked like she had stuffed a full blown balloon under it.

"Holy shit! Did you swallow the Titanic last night?" London asked, undoing the buttons to her nightshirt and putting on a tight, navy blue, sequined V-neck shirt. Bailey picked up a new blue and green swirled maternity shirt and glanced envyingly at London's perfect figure. Her flawless skin, her flat stomach, her tight clothes, her shiny, rich hair...

"If I did, I would've crapped out Leonardo DiCaprio by now."

"He didn't die on the ship!"

"Whatever! I only saw the movie, like, once with Cody, and the whole time I was just staring at him!"

"How did you know Leo was in the movie?"

"I watch the credits!"

"Nice. Anyway, it's 7. Let's go have breakfast." London was halfway out the door before she looked back and saw that Bailey hadn't moved. Her hands kept rubbing her stomach and her eyes were glued to it.

"It... moved." She said, wiping a tear from her eye.

"It probably wants some pancakes and OJ! Oh my god, so do I! Well, let's go eat before I turn into a skinny bitch!" London said, tapping her fingers on the doorway.

"Too late." Bailey muttered, standing up and walking out the door. "Hey, can I go get Cody?"

"Sure. I'll meet you in the cafeteria."

"Adios." London turned around and walked into the cafe. Bailey watched her walk, her hips going right and left every step she took, her shiny black hair bounding ever so slightly, her heavily lipstick coated lips curving into a smile as she saw her boyfriend Ryan at the end of the hall. They saw each other and began to make out. Right there. Bailey just watched for a while until Ryan noticed her, giggled, and walked off with London.

Bailey unwrapped her arms from around her stomach and walked to Cody's room. Once she was there, she knocked on the door a few times until Cody finally opened it.

"Hi Cody." she said, giving him a peck on the lips.

"Hey Bales." Cody looked down at her stomach for a moment, then back at Bailey's face. He blushed and returned the kiss. "You wanna come in for a bit? The guys and I were just hanging out."

"Sure." Bailey replied, looking into Cody's room to see who the guys were, and wasn't surprised to find Zack and Woody sitting on the floor. "Hi guys."

"Hi Bailey." they said in unison, staring at Bailey as she walked in. Bailey awkwardly sat down on Cody's bed, and Cody joined her. They all sat in silence for a while. Woody and Zack felt awkward being in the same room with Bailey because they never thought they were going to see her like this. Pregnant. With CODY'S baby.

"So, what were you guys talking about before I bounced in here?" Bailey asked, propping herself up against Cody's new body pillow his mom sent him.

"Nothing." Woody replied, trying to pry his eyes off her stomach. "Just... guy stuff."

"Oh." More moments of silence. Bailey was beginning to feel unwanted, and it hurt her. She fixed her shirt, which was starting to ride up, and let out a deep breath. Cody looked at her, then at the guys.

"How's the pregnancy thing going?" Zack asked, sitting up and glancing at Bailey's face for the first time this morning.

"Well... it's good. Great actually. I went to the doctor last week so they could draw my blood and all that. She said the baby's healthy. I also set up a time to go get my ultrasound, so soon I'll have pictures of him or her."

"Fun." Zack responded, picking at his nails. Before Cody could say anything, Zack asked, "Do you want it to be a boy or a girl?" Bailey sat upright as soon as he mentioned that. She hadn't really thought that much about it.

"I think I'd like to have a girl."

"Ah." Zack didn't even bother asking why she'd want a girl. "What about you, Cody?"

"A girl. Definitely a girl."

"Wanna have to deal with this all over again?" Woody muttered under his breath. Everyone heard what he said, though. Cody and Bailey both stood up.

"Can we go eat, baby? I'm starving."

"So am I. Let's go." With that, Bailey and Cody left to go eat and slammed the door behind them.


By the end of the day, everyone Bailey had see in class and at lunch noticed her bump. She heard some kids make comments behind her back as well. Bailey had to shrug them off the best she could. It was really all she could do. Bailey was standing next to the hot tub when London came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. Bailey jumped around, and was glad to see it was her, and not one of those bitchy popular girls.

"How was your day?" she asked, stroking Bailey on the head.

"Fine. Almost all the kids know about my pregnancy, though."

"Aww, Bailey!" London turned to face Bailey and gave her a big hug.

"Well, I knew this day would come. I just didn't know it was going to be today... oh well. I had a great school day, though. Got back my history quiz. I aced it." London knew Bailey wasn't this peppy about today, and that she was hurt, but she smiled and let Bailey continue to talk about the positive. Finally, Bailey was done, and the two girls headed back to their room. Once they were there, London turned to Bailey, grabbed her hand, and asked her, "Now come on. What's bothering you?" Bailey looked into her eyes and said, "This afternoon, at lunch, Cody got sick and went to go rest in his room, leaving me all alone at the table. Then, Veronica and Tracy came over to where I was sitting, called me a 'whore who couldn't keep her legs crossed', and walked off."

"Fuck them! Bailey, don't let their snarky comments get to you. You know that they're the whores." Bailey laughed. Her stomach bobbed up and down. "Do you want to check in on Cody?"

"I already did after I scarfed down my food. He's puking his guts out and is really limp."

"Eww, TMI!" Now THAT'S the London I know best. Bailey thought, smiling and laying down on her bed.

"I'm gonna take a nap, okay?" she asked, getting comfortable amongst the pillows.

"Did you do your homework already?"

"Half of it. Get me up at dinner time. I'll do the rest of it later tonight."

"You better!"


I know this one was boring and short, but I needed to make another chapter. lol. I promise the next one will be better! Love you all! :)
