A/N: OMG! I am soooo sorry for not updating in like, what two weeks? I've been really busy lately. Also I apologize for this chapter being so short. Ill try to update soon, okay?
By the way, thanks so much for the reviews! Really appreciate them :)
Looks like she was wrong.
Eyes wide, the blonde woman violently shook her head back and forth. Arnold, meanwhile, had an eyebrow raised at this. "I'm good, really." Helga said a little too fast. The nurse nodded, now ready to wheel the cart out of the room. "Alright Ms. Pataki. I'll see y'all in a few." And then she left without another word.
Helga bit her bottom lip, not daring to look at the man right next to her. Maybe he wouldn't catch on.
"What did she mean by, 'eating for two'?"
Damn it.
"Nothing." She replied. "She meant nothing"
Arnold, with his eyebrow still cocked, watched as the blonde slowly placed her hands on her belly, as if protecting it. She was still looking elsewhere, as if trying to act normal. But the young man wasn't that stupid.
"You're pregnant." He gasped, not really saying it as a question, but a fact. Her eyes quickly snapped towards his, narrowed. "What makes you say that, football head? It's rude to assume." She then glanced towards her hands, seeing then were wrapped around her stomach area. Crap! I'm doing it again. She thought, moving her hands to her sides. Clearing her throat, she turned her attention back to Arnold, still glaring. "I am definitely not pregnant, Arnoldo. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
"Your lying." He said, narrowing his eyes as well. "I can tell. You didn't call me by my real name. I know that when you're being sincere, you call me Arnold."
Helga clenched her teeth, almost ready to rip this guys head off. "Stop with all of these... accusations!" She then reached her arm out, yanking his face closer to hers as she pulled on his robe. "I. Am. Not. Pregnant. Arnold."
She then released, letting out a small sigh of annoyance. Arnold was still staring at her questioningly, and it was starting to get on her nerves. "Alright, get out."
He blinked. "What?"
"I said, get out. I'm done with you for today." Her arms were folded, and her eyes were still narrowed. Arnold sighed, putting a hand on her shoulder. She quickly shrugged it off.
"Look, I'm sorry. I just... when the nurse said that, you know..." He said sheepishly. She still continued to stare forward. Sighing again, Arnold shifted in his seat. "But really. I'm sorry, and..." He then remembered the small detail from the other night, one that he had left out. "I uh, have your gun." He had whispered the last part, in case anyone had been listening.
Her eyes widened at this, now giving the young man her attention. "You do?" He nodded, eyes glancing at the door every few seconds. "Yeah. So like, when you get out this afternoon, I could take you back to my place and give it to you. Also, the doctors said you have to go down to the police station for questioning, and you don't look like you'll be able to get there by yourself, so..."
"Alright, fine. Just shut up; jesus football head. I didn't know you could talk so much." She then pointed a finger at him. "But I'm only staying for tonight, got it?" He nodded, a small smile on his face. "Cool. I'll be waiting outside. Meet me at the front entrance, okay?" He then got up out of his seat, stretching his arms and legs, since he had been sitting for a while. But, just as he was about to open the door, she stopped him.
"Wait!"
He turned his head around, lifting an eyebrow. "Yes?"
"Why.. why are you doing this? Why are you being so... kind to me? Like, I get taking me to the hospital and everything, but... this?" It was a question that had just appeared in her mind, right after he said those things. She knew he was a good guy, but.. she also knew he wouldn't do that for just anyone.
"You remind me of someone."
She gave him a confused look, as if wanting him to explain.
"This girl I knew. She always wore this pink dress, and big, pink bow. She bullied me a lot." Helga's face flushed. "But I liked her anyways." He then winked, in an almost teasing manner.
Gawking, Helga's face had now turned a bright red, mostly from embarrassment. "Th-that's not funny, football head!"
He laughed despite the young woman, now turning the knob. "But really, don't always put yourself down like that. Has it ever crossed your mind that I'm helping you because I care?"
"I thought it was just your good nature." She replied honestly. You're doing it again, dip-shit. What happened to the worlds best liar?
"Well it's not. I might have taken you here as a stranger, but now, I'm taking you back as Helga." And with that, he was out the door. She blinked, face still a bit flushed. God, he had grown up to be such a smart ass.
And she hated that.
A/N: Okay, done! Again, I'm sorry this is so short.
Also, I almost forgot what happened last chapter. like when Helga explained how he was a good guy, and stuff. Well, she knows he good, but she would never think that he would actually help her even more.
and what arnold meant was that he wouldn't do all that if she was a stranger. and LOL, arnold, your such a tease. don't you know that this girl used to have the ultimate crush on you?
till next time, my loves. ~girly
