By the end of the conversation we were all in tears holding each other. I still hadn’t told them I thought I was pregnant. And I figured now would probably be the best time to bring that up,

“The worst part in this whole situation is, I think I really am pregnant…” after that sentence there was nothing but silence, until Val spoke

“Come on, lets go put pants on and go to the store.” I looked from her to Leana knowing full well what we were going for. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take one or not. If I wasn’t pregnant then none of this would matter and everyone could move on, but if I am pregnant what am I going to do. Leana nodded in agreement,

“Come on Aidan. You’ll need to take on eventually.” I let out a sigh, holding back a sarcastic comment about just waiting nine months to see if I am and nodded. We all got up and went to go put pants on. And as we were all running out the door we ran into Jimmy on his way in.

“Where are you girls off to?” Val and Leana looked at me,
“We’re off to go buy -” I cut Val off,
“We’re going to the drug store, I’m buying a pregnancy test.”
We stood their in silence,

“Aidan, I didn’t mean to make you think you were earlier. And Just because Brian said what he said doesn’t mean you are.” Jimmy frowned looking at me.

“It’s not because what Brian said, it’s what you pointed out to me. And there’s a good chance I could be pregnant and if I am, only one person could be the father…” Jimmy nodded

“I’ll come with.”

We arrived at the drug store, I was feeling slightly nervous. Not only because I was about to buy a pregnancy test but because I was here with my “celebrity” friends and it felt like the few people who were in the store were watching us. That would be the last thing I’d need, some body to get a picture of Val, Jimmy, and two mystery girls buying pregnancy tests.

“why are there so many to pick from?” I asked bewildered.
“I don’t know just grab five.” Val said, causing me to look at her.
“Why five, so you can take more then one!” I rolled my eyes and just knocked five random tests into the basket Leana was carrying. Jimmy had has arms around Leana and I while Val was walking behind us calling Matt. I had an a feeling that she would tell him, but that’s alright everyone would find out eventually anyways. We got to the cash register where the kid behind it was starring us wide eyed.

“You’re The Rev!” He stuttered out pointing to Jimmy.
“Yes thank you, now if you don’t mind we’d like to buy these and leave.” He stated as he dumped the five tests onto the counter. The kid rang them up, and before I even dug my money out from my pocket jimmy had paid for it.

“Jimmy! Why’d you pay for those!?”
“Cause you’re my friend, and I want you to name it after me.” he smiled, handing me the bag. I rolled my eyes as we walked out of the store.

“Wish me luck.” I said to everyone as I walked towards the bathroom with the bag of tests in my hand. I sat down on the floor in the bathroom looking at the different tests in front of me. Two of them I had to pee in a cup and wait a couple minutes, the other three I just had to pee on the stick. I opened one of the stick tests, deciding to take that one first.

I walked out a few minutes later, b-lining for the kitchen grabbing 3 bottles of water and walking back to the living room where everyone was sitting, even Matt came down stairs.
“Well?” Val asked as everyone looked at me,
“It was positive,” I paused to chug half of one of the water bottles “I’m taking another one though, just to be sure.” I continued on my way to the bathroom before anyone could say anything.

Vals POV

We all just silently looked at each other, I couldn’t believe what was going on. It was like a fucked up plot from a movie.
“Baby, what’s going on?” Matt looked up at me, his head resting in my lap. I sighed, this really wasn’t something he should hear, especially since he was sick.

“Well, Aidan and Brian have been sleeping together.” I paused, Matts expression turning from shock to anger, “And well now we are pretty sure she’s pregnant.”
“I’ll kill him.” I looked at him with a sad smile,
“I don’t think that’s going to make this situation any better.”
“So, He’s seen what the last guy did to her. He shouldn’t be dicking around on her. She deserves better than him!” Matt said his annoyance clear in his tone.
“What if he still loves Michelle?” I asked, I know I shouldn’t be in Aidans corner in all of this, but I am. Michelle is not right for Brian. She still has a lot of growing up to do.
“Then I’m really going to kill him. If I don’t who’s stopping Benji from killing him? And for that matter what’s stopping Jimmy from killing him?” We all looked at Jimmy, Aidan is like his little sister. God help Brian when he gets back from New York.

We sat here for a little bit longer until Aidan emerged from the bathroom again. Tears running down her face as she collapsed to the ground,
“What am I gonna do?” she cried, we all rushed to her. Leana and I holding her trying to calm her down. Matt and Jimmy were trying, but weren’t as helpful as they’d like to be since their anger was hard to hide.
“Everything will work itself out hun, shh…” I cooed as we rocked back and forth. Her sobs filling the silence. We all sat on the floor with her for what felt like hours, Matt however had stepped into the kitchen to make a phone call. I didn’t have a clue why until almost twenty minutes later there was a hard knock on the front door. And I assumed he called and told Benji.

Aidans POV
I wanted to be mad at Matt so badly but seeing Benji was about the only think to make me feel better at this point. As soon as the door opened and I saw who it was, I darted straight for him. Crying into his chest, which I know caused probably most of Benji’s anger to completely drain away. He scooped me up and sat down on the couch with me in his lap. I left everyone else to fill him in. I couldn’t even form the words.

“When is he supposed to be back?” Benji asked in such a calm way it gave me chills, Matt was the only one who replied,
“In two days.” Matts tone also just as calm.
“Alright then. I’m staying here with her.” Benji looked down at me, he was trying so hard to soothe me. And I was trying so hard to stay awake but I couldn’t. Everything started to blur together and everyone’s voices started to become muffled so I let sleep over come me.
