Lila was sitting away from everyone as she sat in deep thought. Her father was upset that this could happen to her. He demanded to speak to Brainy. Her father wasn't known for his temper since he kept himself always very relaxed around her, but this wasn't ideal to have her still in high school, and pregnant. When he asked about protection and was it used, Lila knew he asked this for some piece of mind. Lila lied saying there was protection, but the condom must of been defective. She felt like her mouth needed to be washed out from that lie. It was a lie that even Brainy was surprised with. Her father asked if she was going to keep it, and when her reply was yes, he merely sighed before telling her it will take time to adjust, but he will.

Hearing wheezing, Lila looked at Brainy while he went to sit beside her. Still no other friends knew about them and their situation besides, Arnold and Helga. "This is tearing me apart."

Brainy wanted to touch her for comfort, but they were even keeping their relationship secret. Really it wasn't much of one since he felt it wasn't about to grow with her father always around them since her announcement. "I know it is and I'm sorry."

"Don't be." That reaction showed Lila who couldn't believe she said that. "I have to admit that I really enjoyed my first time with you."

"Same here." Brainy smiled very shyly as he visualized her again in his bedroom the first time.

Falling in a comfortable silence, Lila wasn't aware of someone approaching before Brainy whispered to her as a taco shaped teenager stepped forth.

"Hey."

"Oh hey, Arnie." Lila greeted sadly.

Without looking at her companion Arnie just blurted out what was forefront in his mind since he looked at her. "You're pregnant."

Both Lila's and Brainy's eyes widened as Lila instantly got on her feet. "Whatever are you saying?" Did her friends spill on her? Oh no they wouldn't. Could they?

Arnie finally regarded Brainy. "It's yours isn't it?"

Brainy of course didn't know how to respond to that as Lila actually clenched her tiny fists. "Arnie?"

Looking at her before focusing downward, Arnie decided to explain simply. "I live on a farm. You should know how to detect this since you grew up on one till you moved away. I can tell you are pregnant." Looks back to Brainy. "His reaction is simple. I never seen you both hang around together until now." Glancing back to Lila, he snorted. "If you want you can come back to the farm with me and raise the child together."

Lila leaned back against the wall. "But you don't love me. You don't even like-like me."

Snorting again, Arnie did his lazy blink. "You are a teenager now and still using the like-like schoolyard expression." He shook his head. "I don't like you in that way since I plainly like you. I offer this as a means of escape from here. At least it is simple on the farm, and the baby will have fresh air."

Brainy stood up with an almost even attitude. "You want to take our baby away because of that? You just admitted you are experiencing friendship feelings for her. Do you want to marry her also?"

"No. That's just plain silly. I'm offering a way of escape for her." Arnie replied simply. "It helps you out too."

"I want to help her out with our baby." Brainy was never one to raise himself in anger, but this just was insulting to him.

"Then send money." Arnie seemed to have an answer for everything. "If this was Helga you would be running around happy, but you aren't, you're panicking."

Getting in front of, Arnie, Brainy's eyes narrowed to little slits. "I'd still be panicking. I'm young. It is completely natural to be like this."

"If it was me, I would be happy." Arnie countered. His dull eyes just took Brainy in as if sizing him up for the first time in his life.

Finally regaining some semblance of dignity, Lila stepped forth placing a supportive hand at the small of Brainy's back. "Arnie, I appreciate the offer, but you are being ever so rude to Brainy. I will have none of that." She lightly admonished.

Snorting, Arnie smiled at her. "I see being pregnant has finally given you guts, Lila. Perhaps I should reconsider my feelings for you."

"Wow. Rude much?" Helga came forward as she overheard the conversation.

Arnie turned his full attention towards, Helga as his smile became wider. It clearly scared, Helga to see something unusual like this on the normally stoic male. "Helga if you were pregnant. I would take care of you."

"What is with you?" Brainy stopped Arnie's creepy staring at, Helga by stepping in between them. "First Lila. Then you insult me. Then you hit on, Lila, and the second Helga shows up, you are back hitting on her again. What is with you?"

Helga slipped over to Lila's side while raising up her cell. Time to reign in your cousin. Brainy is very angry. - H

Coming. - A

"I still know I could do better than you." Arnie was finding this very interesting now. "This is a first you've ever reacted to anything."

"Better than you, Captain Lint." Mocked Brainy.

Helga almost laughed at the nickname till she noticed, Arnold rushing forward to instantly grab, Arnie by the arm to pull him away. Anger was sifting through him as he continued to pull his lackluster cousin along.

Lila went over to stand where Arnie was. "Brainy?" She squeaked when Brainy pulled her against him for a hug. "Oh it's alright. I'm not leaving." She soothed.

Brainy enjoyed that her scent was more lessened now than before. He was enjoying the feel of her in his arms as the days passed. In truth he was falling for her more and more as he was still unsure if it was love. Opening his eyes, Brainy's gaze fell on Helga's. "He'll blab."

"Not if we can help it." Helga promised as she ran off to find Arnold.

When he was sure they were alone, Brainy pulled back so he could look at her. "Don't leave."

Kissing him gently on the lips, Lila removed a stray hair from his cheeks. "I won't. I'm staying." She was truly afraid to ask him this one question. "Do you like me more than friends?"

"Yes." Should he of been more scared to answer that or at least to hear the question? No. When you find you are having a child, that seems to be more daunting then that small question she posed. "No need to be afraid of asking that question of me, Lila. You do know admitting our other situation is far more difficult to bring up, don't you?"

Laughing daintily, Lila threw her hands up to cover her blushing cheeks. "Oh I'm so silly. You're correct, Brainy."

'Are they about to have a Care Bear with a heart shaped symbol on it's belly?' Thought Brainy as he observed how she was acting now.

As for Helga, she stopped short at seeing a very expressive Arnold versus the dull Arnie having a heated conversation. Well at least, Arnold was.

OOOOOOOOOOO

Eyebrows furrowed as close together as humanly possible. The leaning into the back of the chair was soon replaced with leaning against the desk. Arms coming up to rest in a crossed fashion to support the body to prevent him from slamming his chin at the edge of the desk. His dark eyes flickered through the many negative emotions one experiences. The lips thin into a straight line. The male is unhappy at reading what is on his desk curious on how it passed inspection. Hearing a call, he picks up the receiver.

"Yes, Mavis?" The tone of voice is dull at the moment.

"Sir, I'll be leaving in a few minutes. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Came Mavis's professional tone.

He wanted to burn or stab the letter in front of him. He wished it never came. Wished that the prison actually screened this. "No, Mavis, go home. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, Mr Welker. Have a good evening."

Frank was unaware if he wished her a good evening back. "This isn't good." Picking up the phone he called the proper department to help handle this situation. "Hey, Samuel, it's Frank Welker." Pause. "Yeah, the family is good. How's yours?" Pause. "Excellent. Um, Sam I have a bit of a problem here that came across my desk that I need to speak to you about."
