I decided to go ahead and post two chapters today since I already had them written. I'm working on the 5th chapter now, so let me know what you think about these two so that I know where to go from here. Review please! Hope you like it! And if there is anything you don't like or think I could change/do better, please let me know, but in a nice way? Lol, I just want to make sure that I am doing my best. Thanks!

While Addison was talking to Derek, Amelia had made her way to Addison's house and found her niece on the back deck, soaking up the sun. "Hey you! Why didn't you tell me you were in LA!" She said loudly, startling Zoey.

"Amy! I missed you!" Zoey said, getting up and giving her a hug.

"You are one of the few people in the world who is allowed to call me that. If anyone else calls me Amy I would kick their butt! How you doing Zo?"

"I'm fine, just chillin' in the sun, it's a nice change from Seattle."

"Yeah, I'll bet." Even though Zoey and Amelia did not spend a lot of time together in the same state, they would text each other every day and send emails back and forth. Zoey told Amelia everything, which is how they were now on the subject of boys.

"So how is that guy you were seeing? Nick right?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah, Nick. We broke up a few weeks ago."

"What? Why? I thought you really liked him."

"I did. He broke up with me because I wouldn't sleep with him again," Amelia stared at her,

"Again? You mean you already slept with him?" Zoey nodded, "Aww, my little niece is growing up! How was it?" she asked eagerly, causing Zoey to blush brightly.

"Amy! I can't tell you that!" Zoey said, embarrassed.

"Sure you can. You tell me everything else. So tell me, was it good? "Zoey looked at her then smiled,

"It was amazing! Not that I really have anything to compare it to."

"Well since it was your first time it's a good thing you think it was amazing. If it had been bad you probably never would have wanted to have sex again." She paused thoughtfully, "Not that that's a bad thing. You're too young to have sex." Amelia said as an afterthought, trying to sound like a responsible adult.

"Amy, I am sure that by the time you were my age you had already done it, you can't say that I'm too young."

"Ok, well, you make a good point. Different question, Did you at least use protection?" Amelia looked at Zoey, who didn't answer and would not meet her eye, "Zoey? Did you?"

"Well, we kinda forgot. But I'm on the pill, so it's not like I can get pregnant. It's fine."

"Have you taken a test just to be sure? The pill doesn't always work Zo."

"I don't want to talk about it Amelia!" Zoey said loudly as Addison walked into the house.

"Talk about what?"

"Nothing," Zoey and Amelia said at the same time. Addison looked at the two oddly, knowing they were keeping something from her, but quickly passed it off,

"Well you're mine for the summer kid."

"Really! I can stay?"

"Yepp. Your dad would really like you to call him though."

"Well he is just gonna have to suck it up, because there is no way I am calling him. Can Amelia stay for dinner?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

"Sure, if she wants to."

"Please Amy, stay?" Zoey begged, not wanting to be alone with Addison, who would surely question her about why she wouldn't talk to her father.

"Why would I say no to dinner with two of my favorite girls." The three of them had a casual dinner filled with laughter and catching up, and then watched a movie while sprawled out in Addison's living room. After two hours Zoey had fallen asleep with her head in Addison's lap and her feet across Amelia's. "Don't you miss the old days when she fell asleep on you, and you or Derek could just carry her to bed? Now we are kinda just stuck here with 115 lbs of teenager laying on us." Addison just sighed and laughed,

"Looks like we are sleeping here tonight. Unless you want to wake her up."

"No way, she's mean when someone wakes her up in the middle of the night," the two women laughed. Addison played with her daughters reddish hair and sighed,

"What were you two talking about earlier when I walked in?" hoping she could get some answers about Zoeys behavior.

"I can't tell you Addison. That's something that she should tell you. It's one of those mother/daughter things."

"Zoey doesn't talk to me though. We've never been overly close. She won't talk to Derek either. Did she at least tell you why she won't talk to him?"

"We didn't talk about Derek, she didn't bring him up. Have you asked her about it?"

"Of course. She got mad at me."

"That's Zoey for you. I don't know what to tell you Addison. My niece is one crazy mystery."

"If she tells you anything though, could you let me know? I just want to make sure she's ok."

"Of course Addie. I guess we should try and get some sleep. Although, I don't know how easy that will be with Zoey laying on us, but we can try." Amelia said, effectively ending the conversation.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Addison had gone into work and Zoey was walking the beach along the water, in the short time she had been in LA the beach had become her favorite place to go and think. She had been sick for the last two weeks and finally decided that it wasn't just a bug. She eventually broke down and bought a pregnancy test, thinking that Amelia could be right and the pill hadn't worked. After Addison left for work she locked herself in the bathroom and watched as a pink plus sign showed up on the little screen.

She stood, staring out at the vast ocean, wondering what she was going to do. She was only 16, she couldn't raise a child. And she didn't believe in abortion. There was no way that her parents were going to be happy about this, Derek and Addison had always preached abstinence to their daughter. She sighed deeply, and then sat down on the sand, not caring that it was slightly wet. After just staring at the water for an hour and not coming up with any resolutions to the situation she currently found herself in, she got up and started to walk back to the house. When she got inside she picked up her phone and dialed Amelia's number.

"What's up chica?" she asked when she saw it was Zoey calling.

"I need your help," Zoey said quietly.

"Are you ok?" Amelia asked worriedly, thinking that her niece was in immediate danger.

"I don't know yet. I just need to talk to you about something. Can we hang out after you get off work?"

Of course, but what is so urgent? You're like freaking out."

"Um, well remember that conversation we had the other night? About the sex and the birth control sometimes not working?"

"Oh my god! Are you pregnant?"

"AMELIA! Don't say that out loud, you work in the same place as my mother! She could hear you!"

"She's at lunch Zo. Calm down. I'm gonna take off of work early and come get you, ok? Then we're just gonna go somewhere and talk, or something. Get ready and I will be there in like 20 minutes."

"Ok. Thanks Amy."

"Anytime Zo, anytime." Amelia hung up the phone and cradled her head in her hands. Zoey is way too young to be pregnant, and nowhere near mature or responsible enough to raise a child. What if she is pregnant, Amelia thought, How the hell am I gonna tell Addison? And Derek! Oh my god.

Amelia was too caught up in thinking about Zoey o notice when Naomi walked in, "Are you ok?" Naomi asked as she walked into Amelia's office.

"What? Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be ok? Is it cool if I take off early today? I'm gonna go spend some time with Zoey."

"Sure, you two have fun," she says, looking at Amelia oddly, "Say hi for me."

"Will do," Amelia said, standing up quickly to gather her belongings then walk out, leaving Naomi staring after her, wondering about her strange behavior. Naomi sighed as she began to wonder if Amelia had slipped up and was on drugs again, but then shrugged it off, deciding that she wouldn't willingly go back to that place.
