Thanks for the reviews and suggestions. I can't make the story completely about the kids or else it really wouldn't be a South Park fic, would it? There will be some focus on a few of them in future chapters. Anyway, R&R! Enjoy! :-)
Chapter 6
Cartman's POV
As soon as I arrive at work, Kyle immediately calls me into his office. "What's this all about Jew?" I ask him as I walk in his office and close the door.
"You and Wendy need to stop this shit!" He orders. "You guys are killing Stan!"
"He knows?"
Kyle shakes his head. "He knows something is up with Wendy, but he's not sure what."
"So how are we killing him?"
"Like I said, he sees a change in Wendy and its hurting him. You guys need to stop. He's in a lot of pain dude."
I shake my head. "No way dude. Wendy is planning to tell him she wants a divorce."
Kyle's eyes widen. "Are you serious? What if the baby is his?"
"It doesn't matter. She doesn't want to be with him anymore."
"Dude...this is so fucked up."
"Maybe, but don't we have the right to be happy?"
"Why does it have to be at Stan's expense?"
I shrug. "It is what it is."
"So you don't care that he'll be hurt."
"Of course I do. But we're following our hearts. Is that really a bad thing?"
Kyle sighs. "I hope it's worth it..."
"It will be. She's the love of my life. I've waited a long time to make her mine." I reach in my pocket and pull out a ring box and hand it to Kyle.
"Dude..." He whispers as soon as he opens the box.
"As soon as her divorce is final, I plan to put that ring on her finger."
"Dude..."
"Can you say something else besides dude?"
"I really don't know what to say. Does Wendy know about this?"
I nod and smiles. "We've discussed getting married, but she doesn't know when I'm planning to pop the question."
"I don't condone this!"
"To be fair Kyle, I didn't ask if you do!"
Kyle face turns red with anger. "You and Wendy will reap what you sow! I hope you know that!"
"I'm sorry our relationship isn't perfect like yours." I say mockingly.
"My relationship isn't perfect! Nichole and I just didn't have to hurt anyone for us to be together."
"The only person that will get hurt is Stan."
"What about Julia? Did you ever stop to think how this will affect her?"
"She's Shannon's cousin and best friend, I'm sure she'll be accepting of our relationship. They'll be step sisters."
"What a great example you're setting for your daughter! I'm sure she'll be proud."
"She'll understand when she sees how happy Wendy makes me."
"I'm done. I'm not saying anything else. I hope you and Wendy have a "happy" life. You two are really fucked up for doing this to Stan!"
"You're no better than us. You know the truth and you haven't said a word to Stan, Mr. High and Mighty!"
"It's not my fucking place to say anything!" Suddenly he's overcome with anger. "Get out!"
"Fine." I leave his office and he slams the door behind me. That got us nowhere. Oh well, he doesn't have to be happy for us, nor do we need his approval. He's going to have to accept it just like Stan is.
Wendy's POV
I'm having lunch with Nichole and Bebe to tell them my plans for the future. "Poor Stan..." Nichole pokes out her bottom lip.
"I know this is going to hurt Stan and I do feel bad for him, but I have to follow my heart. My heart is with Cartman not Stan." I explain.
"You never should've married him!"
I look down. "I know..." I look back up at them. "Cartman wasn't ready to commit and Stan was. I figured I would go with the guy that loves me and was willing to do anything for me and that wanted to settle down."
"So you used him?"
I sigh. "It sounds so horrible saying it out loud. I've always loved Cartman. I knew then that marrying Stan was a mistake, but I was ready to settle down and start a family."
"But you never left Cartman alone."
"Yes I did!"
"You started messing around with him when you found out you were pregnant with Julia. You should've left Stan then."
"Cartman was dealing with Shelley at tea time, or something lost that. We were new parents and in terrible situations. All that is about to change. I'm going to tell Stan everything."
"That's good. It's better he hears the truth from you before someone else tells him." Bebe steps in.
"Well you two and your husbands are the only ones that know. You've done a good job keeping our secret."
"Julia knows too..."
I nearly spit out my drink. "What? How did she find out?"
"She never said, at least I don't think she did."
"You knew that she knew, and you didn't tell me?"
"I was drunk!"
My eyes widen. "Bebe, what did you tell her?"
"I confirmed that you were cheating on Stan with Cartman."
Oh my god, I could kill her. "Why the fuck would you do that?"
She shrugs. "Sorry, I was drunk."
"How much did you tell her?"
"I don't remember."
I roll my eyes. "That's explains the extra attitude I've been getting from her. I thought she was upset about getting arrested, but now I know there's more to it. I guess the first thing I better do when I see Stan is tell him."
"Yeah, you better hope and pray Julia hasn't told him." Nichole adds in.
"I think she almost did. She said a few weeks ago she had something to tell us, but she changed her mind."
"Now you know what you need to do. Good luck."
"Thanks, I'm going to need it." Before I say anything to Stan, I'm going to talk to Julia first. I have to make her understand things…at least I hope I can make her understand.
Julia's POV
Dustin picked me up from school and brought some beer with him. We decided to drink in my room. I tell him about my mom's affair. "My parents cheat on each other all the time." He shrugs.
"That doesn't bother you?" I ask.
"Not really. They've always been so screwed up. It's really not a big deal."
"It is to me! My dad doesn't deserve this!"
He puts his hand on my shoulder. "You're still young and naïve. When you grow up, you'll see that cheating is normal in relationships."
I frown at that comment. I can't believe he sees me as young and naïve. "Cheating isn't normal! My dad doesn't cheat on my mom!"
"How do you know? Maybe he hasn't gotten caught yet…"
I shake my head. "Because my dad isn't that kind of person! He loves my mom and cherishes his marriage! He would NEVER cheat!"
Dustin laughs. "Calm down, it's not that serious. Don't be surprised if one day you-" I shut him up by kissing him. He pushes me away. "What are you doing?"
"That was a kiss." I smile.
"Dude, you're like 12! I could go to jail for that!"
I can feel myself blushing with embarrassment. "I'm 15! You think I'm old enough to drink with you, but not old enough to kiss? That doesn't make sense."
"I'm sorry I said that. I mean, you're a cute girl and all, and we're friends. Maybe in a few years when you turn 18 we can see what's up, but for now, let's just be friends."
I can feel my heart breaking in a million pieces, but I play it cool. "I respect that." I feel so stupid.
"Good." He picks up his beer. "I should get going, let me know if you need a ride tomorrow."
I give him a fake smile and nod. "I will, thanks." He leaves and I burst into tears. Moments later, there's a knock on my door. "Yes?" The door opens and I quickly wipe my eyes. I look and see it's mom. "What can I do for you Mother?"
"Mother?" She laughs and closes the door. "What's wrong with you? You look like you've been crying." She asks concerned.
"Nothing, I'm fine!"
"Sorry for caring." She sits down on my bed. She starts sniffing me. "Have you been drinking again?"
"No…" I lie.
"Don't lie to me! I can smell it on you."
"You're the last person who should accuse anyone of lying."
Mom sighs. "I know you know about Cartman and me…"
I wasn't prepared for this. "I can't believe you would do that to Daddy! What's wrong with you?"
"Cartman and I love each other. We've always loved each other."
"Why did you play daddy all these years? That's not fair to him!"
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm going to tell him everything, including that I want a divorce." Even though I already knew this, hearing her say it, has further pissed me off.
"So you're going to break his heart and destroy our family! What if this is his baby?"
"Wow, Bebe told you everything. It doesn't matter if this is his baby, I'm going to be with Cartman. I'm 99 percent sure this is Cartman's baby though."
"You're disgusting!"
"I just want to be happy that's all. Cartman is exciting and adventurous, the complete opposite of Stan."
I cover my ears. "I don't want to hear anymore. You're sick and I hate you!"
"Don't judge me, you may find yourself in a similar situation. Then you'll understand what I'm going through."
"I would never marry and start a family with a man I don't love. That's so cruel."
"Just be there for your dad, he's going to need you." She puts her hand on my shoulder. "I'm going to go break the news to him." She leaves the room. I want to go be there for him, but I'll wait until the worst is over. That doesn't mean I'm not going to eavesdrop.
