A/N: My chapter!
Okay, so I thought I might as well elaborate as Cat for a while. It's a bit of a filler, but whatever. You don't care. I hope.

Beck and Tori left round 10 that night, and I watched them pull out of the driveway, a feeling of satisfaction letting itself in. I had forgotten how much I had missed having adult friends that weren't Aiden's friend's parents. Sure, that's how my own mother met all of her friends, but I decided when I was younger that I wouldn't rely on my children's friend's parents alone, because young friendships can be gone in the blink of an eye.
When I was 3 years old and still living in Florida, my best friend and I were inseparable. Her name was Cassidy, and she had curly blonde hair that I was always jealous of. She and I met in school, and we played together all the time. During recess we'd play princesses, power rangers, and Indian tribe girls. We always had the best time together, and I thought we'd be friends forever. Her mother's name was Ellen, and she and my mom were inseparable, almost more than Cass and I. But one day Ellen and my mother were hanging out when they got to talking about old boyfriends. They found out that Ellen took my mother's boyfriend, and everything took a turn for the worse. Cass and I were in her bedroom playing Barbies when we heard yelling from downstairs. We were worried, and hid on the staircase to get a better listen. At the time, we had no clue what they were talking about. All we knew is that something bad was happening. My mom took me home from Cass's house early that day, and then I only got to see her in school. We started to blame each other's mom's for what happened, and then we stopped talking altogether. I remember crying in my room when I finally realized I lost Cass as a friend.
When I was ten, my mom finally told me that she and Ellen had gone to the same high school. Ellen was head cheerleader, and my mom was one of the better actresses in her drama club. Ellen was apparently very jealous of my mom because she was dating a boy named Kingston, who they both liked. Kingston ended up being unfaithful to my mom during spring break with Ellen. Ellen got knocked up and Kingston had to man up and care for the baby. Kingston and Ellen ended up getting married, and my mom still holds a grudge against her. That's why as I got older, I kept myself guarded. I never wanted something like that to happen to me. Whenever someone made any kind of move on me, I panicked. It may not have seemed like it, but I was always tentative when it came to dating. Before Robbie, I had only dated two other guys, both of whom were a big mistake.
I watched Tori and Beck's car until the lights disappeared in the fog. I closed the curtains and turned around to see that the living room was still a mess. I sighed and bent down to pick up Aiden's discarded Superman costume. I would have to remind him tomorrow that he needs to pick his toys up. All night he paraded around the house in his superman costume, showing every toy he owns to Beck. They ended up wrestling, and Aiden ended the play fight by sitting on Beck's head, giggling uncontrollably when Beck flipped him over his head and tickled him.
When Tori told me about her pregnancy I got very excited. Not only because Clea will have a friend close to her age, but because Tori's wanted a baby longer than I've known her. One night, during one of our sleepovers, I remember her saying that she's wanted a baby since she started babysitting. She said that her motherly instincts were calling to her, and she wanted so bad to have a baby of her own. I feel bad, having two of my own while Tori has to wait nine months for hers. I know it'll be worth it, through. I know Tori will be an excellent mother.
Robbie comes back into the room and sees me picking Aiden's toys up. He ushers me out of the room.
"Cat, you go to bed. I'll stay and clean up. It's been a long day." He shuts the French doors to our three season porch and waves to me from the other side of the glass. I kiss the glass thankfully and head upstairs. I can hear Aiden's little piggy snores from his room, and I tuck him in and close the door. I do the same to Clea, and get myself ready for bed.
The next day I'm making pancakes for breakfast when I get a call from Tori.
"Guess who woke me up this morning?" She asks, clearly irritated. I laugh and take a wild guess.
"Your baby's here already? Is it a girl or a boy? What'd you name it? Can I come over and see it?" I'm shocked. Tori didn't look pregnant last night, did she?
"No no no!"
"But I let you see my baby! Why do you have to be so mean to me?"
"Cat, Jade called me at 2 this morning."
"Jade, like, high school Jade? Beck's ex Jade?" I'm shocked. Jade and Tori weren't exactly chummy in high school. Not while Jade was dating Beck, and certainly not after Tori started dating him.
"Yeah. She got into a bar fight."
"Oh, that's not good. Then she can't come to our party Saturday?"
"Not unless we bail her out of jail."
Oh the suspense! hah
