Juliet POV

"Just relax White Rabbit!" I kissed my Andy on the cheek. "It will be fine, they are a couple. They just want to spend some time alone."

He sighed, "but its not just that is it. He is my best friend and the bassist of my band. She is my baby sister!"

I rolled my eyes, "your gonna have to stop calling her that babe. She isn't a baby! She is eighteen. And she certainly isn't innocent from what sammi has told me."

"Okay but I am not happy about this."

"We all know that sweetie. You made it pretty clear. Now enough of the heavy. Let's go get some chinese."

He jumped up and ran for our apartment door, "CHICKEN BALLS!!!!" He paused, "why does that sound gay only when I say it?"

I shrugged, "I love you sweetie!"

***Ashley's apartment a week after arriving in LA***

Ashleigh POV

"Sweetie!! I made breakfast!" Ash's voice woke me. I smiled and walked into his sleek modern kitchen. Then it hit me. Bacon. I urged and ran to the toilet.

"Baby are you okay?" 'No I'm not Ashley!' I threw up about three times which didn't feel particularly pleasant. I probably had a stomach bug. "Baby? Maybe you should go to the doctors!" Ash's concern became audible.

I nodded and then realised he was outside the door so he couldn't see me. "Okay." I mumbled as I wiped my mouth and splashed my face with cold water.

***at the hospital***

The doctor smiled as she wrote down something on a form. "Right we will have to do a few tests to determine the problem. A blood test and a urine sample should be enough to determine the problem. If not then more extensive tests will be necessary." I nodded as she prepared my arm for a stabbing. It didn't hurt but I still didn't like the idea of being poked by a needle. Tattoos are different. "Right now for a urine sample."

She handed me a wierd shaped cardboard bowl. I took it and scooted off to the toilet. I placed it underneath me and began to pee. Ewwwww! The hand that was holding my pee bowl was ever so slightly getting splash back. I screwed my face up and thought of soap.

The doctor fumbled around in a draw and brought out a long thin stick in a packet. She un wrapped it and put it in the pot that had my piss in. My piss pot. I smiled. That was mildly funny. She looked at her watch and pulled the stick out of my piss pot and looked at it. "Hmm!" She pulled another two sticks out and put them both in my piss pot and waited the same amount of time before pulling them both out and looking at both of them. "We have a diagnosis."

I smiled. Thank god. "Great. So just give me the medication and let me go on my way."

"Unfortunately its not that easy Miss Beirsack." I looked at her in pure confusion. Then she uttered three words that shattered my world. "Congratulations. You're pregnant!"

***

Ashley drove us both back to his apartment. He kept asking what it was. I just mumbled random shit about a stomach bug and phoned sammi as soon as I got home. "Hey leelee!"

"Sammi I need your help!"

"Okay sweetie get a cab and meet me outside my apartment block."

I heard jinxx in the background, "our! Apartment block"

***

I sat down on the sofa and watched jinxx leave so Sammi and I could have a girly chat. "What's up chick?" She held my hand to comfort me.

"Okay. Say I was pregnant how do you think Ashley would react?" I looked at her with worried eyes.

"You're pregnant!?" I shook my head,

"no. I just want to know that's all."

She nodded, "oh okay. So say you were. Ash would probably freak a little bit. But that is to be expected. He is a guy after all. Umm. It would probably be the timing that is wrong. I mean look at his career, he works constantly. Touring eight months a year and works for another two months. Leaving only two months for rest. He has no time for a baby. I don't think he has it in him at the moment. The guys can't believe that he is even in a relationship."

I nodded absorbing sammi's wise words. I know what I have to do even if it goes against my beliefs.

***

I was waiting in the clinic looking at all the posters. Why do they have to be so depressing?

"Miss Black?" A nurse called.

I got up and walked towards her, I used a fake name so word wouldn't get out. We sat in her office and placed a pill on the table with a cup of water. I knew what to do.

Ashley POV

I figured out where she ran off to. The clinic. I was worried, that's why I drove down. I saw her walking out, she looked so sad.

I ran up to her. "Babe! Are you okay? What's wrong? Why are you here?"

"Please don't hate me," a tear fell down her cheek. I couldn't ever be mad at her beautiful face.

"Never baby!" I smiled into her eyes.

"I had an a-a-abortion," she stammered. My world stopped. She was pregnant, I was a dad. She took that from me without telling me!!

"WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!!!??" I screamed in her face. I turned back to the truck and drove off without her.
