As usual, R&R folks! Enjoy! :-)

Chapter 18

Cartman's POV

I hear the sound of Eric crying on the baby monitor. I wake up and look at the time. 8:25am, he must be hungry. I look over and see Wendy is sound asleep. I'll let her get some rest since she was up practically all night nursing him. Thank goodness we can switch the greedy little guy back and forth between breast milk and formula.

I fix a bottle for him and head to his room and pick him up. "Hey little dude, you hungry?" I put the bottle in his mouth and he finishes it in about two minutes. Damn, this boy is greedy!

"All done?" I put him over my shoulder to burp him, then I notice he's sucking on his hand. "Aw come on, I know you're not still hungry." I decide to fix him another bottle and feed him. Sure enough he was still hungry. "There you go..." I coo at him. "That's daddy's big man! Keep eating like that and you'll definitely take after me." I laugh.

"Awwwww!" I turn around and see Wendy in the doorway smiling at us.

"What?" I smile back.

"You look so good with the baby!" She walks over to me and puts her arms around me and looks down at Eric smiling. "My little Eric Theo." That's what she decided to call him.

"I wouldn't trade this little guy for anything."

"Neither would I. We're so blessed!" She kisses me. Our kiss is interrupted by the doorbell. "Who could that be this early?"

"I'll go see." I stand up and head towards the door.

"Can I hold my son?" Wendy jokes. "Don't be such a baby hog!"

"Sorry babe." I hand Eric to her and go answer the door. To my surprise it's Stan with a gift bag in his hand. "What are you doing here?"

He starts fidgeting. "I...um...I came by to tell you guys congratulations and I have a gift." He hands me the bag.

"You're a month late, but thanks."

"Sorry...well good luck to you and Wendy with everything." He turns to leave.

"Stan, wait!" He turns around. "Why don't you come in?"

He shakes his head. "I really shouldn't."

"Come on dude, I know you didn't just come to drop off a gift."

"What?" I turn around and see Wendy coming downstairs with the baby.

"Babe, Stan got us a gift." I inform her.

"Thanks Stan. That was nice of you."

"You're welcome." He tells her. "Congratulations, you have a handsome baby." He says nervously.

"Cartman's right, why don't you come in?"

"I really should get going. I just came by to drop the gift off."

Wendy and I exchange looks and I nod. "Hey Stan?" Stan looks at her. "I just wanted to let you know that Cartman and I have talked about it, we're going to drop the assault charges. We think you've been through enough as it is."

Stan nods. "Thank you, I really appreciate that."

"I hope one day we can be friends again." I add in.

Stan forces himself to smile. "We'll see. Take care guys and congrats again!" He quickly leaves.

"It looks like he's finally accepting this!" I tell Wendy.

"It's about time. Our divorce will be final in three weeks and I don't want any issues. I'm ready to close that chapter of my life and start a new one with you."

"I'm looking forward to becoming your husband!"

"We need to start planning our wedding." Her eyes light up when she says that.

"There's something else we need to plan..."

"What?"

"Julia's sweet 16. I know we did a family dinner for Shannon, but she's not big on parties so that was easy. Julia is the opposite of her. I think we should do something big for her. She's really been going through it."

Wendy nods. "I'm so glad you're still willing to throw her a party despite all the crap she's put you through."

"Of course! She's your daughter so I would do anything for you just like I would do anything for you and my little dude here." I touch Eric's cheek.

"I would do anything for you and Shannon too. She really is a sweet girl. I wish Julia would stop being so rude to her. I'm sorry about that."

"No need to apologize. They'll work it out like they always do." I reassure her and we start kissing again. Now that Stan appears to have finally come around, it looks like things really are working out for us.

Julia's POV

Dustin and I are sitting in his bed drinking. He's technically not supposed to drink because of what happened to him, so we're doing it on the down low. Then again, I'm technically not even supposed to be here. Dustin seems a bit agitated. "Is something wrong?" I ask him.

"This liquor isn't doing anything for me…" He gets up and goes to his drawer. He pulls out a plastic bag with something white in it, a razor blade, and a dollar bill. My eyes widen.

"Oh my God, is that coke?"

He nods. "Yeah, why?"

"I thought you said you didn't do coke?"

He shrugs. "I just told my parents that." He snorts a line of coke.

"Why did you lie to them?"

"My dad thinks Butters drugged me. He's pretty much cut Butters off. He sees him at work, but it's now a strictly professional relationship!" Dustin states proudly. "My mom cut Butters off long before that."

"So you don't care that your parents think Butters is guilty?"

He shakes his head. "I got what I wanted out of the deal. Butters is out of my parent's lives." He snorts another line.

"I wish I could get Cartman out of mine…"

"That's different. Your mom loves him and is planning to marry him. My parent's relationship with Butters was strictly sex." He looks at me. "Speaking of your mom, she doesn't know you're here, does she?"

I shake my head. "No, she thinks I'm at the library with Danielle."

"Good." He smirks. "Maybe we can finish what we started before your mom interrupted us…if you're up for it."

I smile and nod. "I'm up for it!"

He raises his eyebrow. "Really? What changed your mind?"

I shrug. "Curiosity." I grab him and push him down on the bed. I get on top of him and start kissing him. I rip his shirt off and he takes off mine and we continue kissing. He grabs my titties, but he doesn't remove my bra. Instead he takes off my pants just before taking his off. He reaches in his night stand and grabs a condom and puts it on. I look at him in shock. I can't believe this is about to happen! There's no going back from here!

"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Dustin whispers.

I nod slowly. "I'm sure…" The next thing I know, he inserts himself inside me. He's very slow and gentle, and I'm feeling a little pain.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine…" He keeps going. With every thrust, the pain lessens and it begins to feel good. Scratch that, GREAT! I can't believe this is happening! I'm actually losing my virginity! I'm losing it to someone I've had a crush on for years! Someone I love! I feel tears coming to my eyes.

"What the hell is going is on here?" We look and see Kenny standing at the door. I quickly cover myself up.

"Dude Dad! Don't you know how to knock?" Dustin asks him angrily.

Kenny looks at me. "You know you're not supposed to be here! I normally wouldn't do this but-"

Just then Bebe comes in the room. Oh God, this is so embarrassing. "What's going on here?"

"What do you think is going on? I caught Dustin having sex with Julia!"

Bebe's eyes widen. "Dustin! How could you?"

"I'm a grown man! I can do what I want!"

"She's only 15!"

"I'll be 16 in 5 weeks!" I remind them.

"Wait until your mom hears about this!" Bebe tells me.

"I was just about to call her!" Kenny tells Bebe.

"Please don't! I don't want my mom pressing charges against Dustin. Especially since this was consensual."

"She has a point." Bebe tells Kenny. "I don't want Dustin to get locked up for this.

Kenny nods in agreement and looks at me. "Put your clothes on and get the hell out of here! NOW!"

I nod. "Ok."

"Can you guys leave so she can get dressed in peace?" Dustin asks.

"You leave the room too!" Bebe tells him.

"I'll call you later Julia." I nod as he leaves. I'm still in shock, but I'm so happy that Dustin and I had sex. The only thing I regret is that his parents walked in and interrupted the moment. I'm sure this won't be the last time though…
