"Well, Miss Curtis we have the results of your tests." the doctor started. "They came back posotive."
"Ex- exuse me?" Andrea asked, not beleiving her ears.
"I said that your tests came back posotive. ma'am, you're going to be a mother.." The doctor repeated.
"O- ok, thank you doctor," Andrea said getting uo and walking out of the office with her boyfriend Chris.
"Call soon to set up an appointment ok?"
"I will thank you, good-bye." With that Andrea and Chris walked hand-in-hand out to their car. "Chris what are we going to do?" Andrea asked as they sat in the car.
"What do you mean what are we going to to?" Chris saked, repeating her. "We are going to be happy about this, and nothing else, ok?"
"I don't know, I mean this could potentially ruin your career, and we both know Johnny and Jive aren't going to be too thrilled either."
"So what? Do you really care what they think, Andi? Is that the most important thing to you?"
"No, but I don't want you to loose your career over this Chris." Andi told him, breaking down in to tears.
Chris reached over hugging her to his chest. "D, stop, everyting is going to be just fine, trust me ok, everything will be ok, now come on, let's go tell everyone the good news, alright?" He asked her starting the car.
"Ok, let's go." Andrea replied forcing a smile on he face that she didn't feel. Inside Andi was a big emotional mess. She was worried that she woud ruin Chris's career for him, that everything would just end up being ruined. Though she was excited to be pregnant, she had always wanted to have children, just not at such a hectic time in her life.
Andrea was a 26 year old choreographer. She owned her own studio which her father had handed down to her when he died a few years back. She had been extremely busy with appointments and trying ot maintain a sane relationship with Chris. Andrea was one of those people who always had to have things under control and always had things planned out, and she always did, until she became pregnant.
"OK, you ready to do this?" Chris asked unbuckling his seatbelt and hopping out of the car.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Andi replied, taking his hand and getting out of the car.
"OK, come on, I'll be right there, supporting you one hundred percent, don't forget that." Chris said as they entered Justin's house where everyone was hanging out.
"Hey guys!" JC said getting up.
"Hi, JC, can you sit down, we have some news to tell you guys." Andrea informed him sadly.
"Ok, what is it?" He asked nervously. "Well," she started grabbing chris for support. " I...I...I'm pre- preganant" she said finally spitting it out.
Everyone sat there, stunned, for a minute until Lance jumped up and said, "Congratulations guys!" Giving Andrea a hug and Chris a firm pat on the back. Everyone then followed Lance's example getting up to congratulate the couple.
Andrea and Chris were happy that everyone had been so excepting of their news, even though they knew deep down they had some doubts too.
"Ok, Chris, that went pretty smooth, now the tough part." Andrea started later that day, as she and Chris sat alone. "We need to tell our parents."
"Oh, good point, we'll do it tomorrow, ok?" He suggested.
"Ok, I think, I love you, Chris."
"I love you too Andrea, now come on, let's go home. I'm tired, and you need some rest."
"Sounds like a plan, let's go." At that the two left for their house, They arrived a few minutes later and headed straight for bed. it had been a long and strenuos day and all either of them wanted was for it to come to an end.
::knock::
"Coming!" She heard her mother yell from inside. "Oh, Andi! Chris! it's so good to see you both." she said giving them a hug and moving out of the way so that they could come inside.
"Hey mom, Dad." Andrea said entering the living room to the home she had grown up in.
"Hey, sweetie, how you doing?" Her dad inquired, giving her a hug.
"Ok, Chris and I have some news for you guys." She started taking a seat, grabbing Chris's hand. "We, well, I'm pregnant." She told them apprehensive on how they would react.
"Congratulations sweetie!" her mother said geting up and walking over to her giving her and Chris both hugs.
"Dad, what do you think about all this?" Andi asked her father nervously.
"I think it's great, congratulations you two." he said giving his daugter a hug and Chris a pat on the back.
"Well, sorry to rush this, but we have to run over to his Dad's house and be back in time for an interview in about an hour I'll stop by soon though, ok?"She asked getting up.
"Ok, drive safely, we'll be seeing you soon, bye honey." Her mom said as Andi and Chris walked out to their car.
"Bye, mom ,I'll call you." She said as her and Chris drove off towards his dad's house.
"You ready to do this, D?" He asked before getting out of the car.
"Sure, I told my parents, why not your dad?"
"I suppose you have a point there, well, let's go!" Chris said hopping out of the car and going around to help Andrea out. The couple told Chris's dad about their news. He took it well, infact, he was thrilled that he was going to be a grandfather. Next thing was to tell his mom back in Pennsylvania and then tell Andi's two Best friends, Cait and Whitney.
"Hey, D, how you holdin up?" Justin asked her later that day before the guys went in to do their interview for Teen People.
"I'm doing pretty good actually, what about you? they're not running you too hard are they?" she asked him jokingly.
"No, I'm great!"
"Really?"
"Yes, really, you'll never guess who I just saw."
"Hmmmm....let me think...Cait?"
"How'd you know?"
"Let's see,. it could be that you been obsessing over her the last ooo...2 months!"
"Have I really been that bad?!?"
"Yes, you really have, you just need to go ahead and ask her out."
"but what if she turns me down?"
"Trust me, she won't turn you down!"
"Really, and you are 100% sure about this?"
"Yes, 100%, just like with JC and Whitney, that boy needs to make his move before she gets snatched up by some one else."
"Well, maybe you should tell him that...after we do this interview, lata Andi."
"Lata J, have fun!"
"Will do." Justin said walking into the room where they were holding the interview. A little over an hour later the guys emerged from the room and Chris and Andrea left for Cait and Whitney's apartment.
"Hey guys," Andrea said, walking into the apartment.
"Hey D!" Cait said getting up and giving her friend a hug as Whitney followed.
"Guys, have some good news for you..." she started. "Me and Chris are going to be parents."
"OMG! you're pregnant?!?" Whitney exclaimed.
"Yup, I'm pregnant." Andi replied simply.
"Congrats!"
"Thanx, so what are you guys doing?"
"Not too mcuh, pretty mcuh just beng lazy." Cait told her.
"I see, well, how woudl you like to go out?"
'How would we like it?!? I think we would LOVE it!" Whitney said.
"Ok then, come on, we're going shopping!" Andi said to her two friends.
"Hold up!" Chris said, putting his hand up in the air. "I was not informed of anyone going shopping."
"Don't worry ya big baby, we'll drop you off at home first." Andrea told him.
"And who says I'm gonna let you take my car?"
"Me."
"Oh ok, that explains it all!"
"Good, i'm glad you understand, now let's go!" Andi said walking out the door with Cait, Whit, and Chris following.
The girls dropped Chris off at Justin's where the rest of the froup was hanging out and headed off ot the mall themselves.
"So, Justin, you ever going to ask Cait out?" Chris asked him once he was settled in a chair.
"yes, I will, soon." he answered.
"Suuuure ya will." Chris told him doubtfully.
"I will... I swear, I'll do it when Andi comes to pick you up after."
"Ok, fine, I beleive you."
"Good, now shut up about it, why don't you ask JC when he's going to ask out Whitney?"
"Yeah, when are you going to ask Whitney out?" Lance asked, turning his attention form Justin to JC.
"Tonight." JC answered proudly.
"Oh, ok, sure, I'd love to see that."
"I will, I promsie you that I will!" The rest of the time the guys were there they just talked about the tour they had coming up in a few weeks and Andi's pregnancy andhow it was going to affect the group as a whole.
"Guys, trust me, this isn't going to take away from my commitment to the group, I promise you that." Chris tried to reassure his bandmates.
:We don't doubt you Chris we are just worried, this isn't just you're group ya know?" Justin said.
"Yeah I know, and beleive me nothing is going to change ok?"
"ok, fine, but you better be telling the truth, I mean we understand if you take a little time off in the begginngin like a couple months or so, but we can't stop for too long Chris, you know that,man." Justin told him.
"yes, I do, which is why I am not going to stop." That ended their conversation quickly. A few minutes later the girls walked into Justin's house, laughing at some joke Cait had just told.
"hey guys!" Cait said, going and standing next to Justin.
"Hey, C, can you come with me for a second?" he asked leading her out of the kitchen to where no one could hear them talking.
"Cait, I have a question for you." Justin said once they were out of ear shot.
"Go on..." she urged him.
"Well, I was wondering if you would be interested in going on a date with me tomorrow night?" He asked her nervously.
"I would love to go on a date with you, Justin."
"You would?"
"Of course I would."
"Good, well, I'll pick you up at 7:30 tomorrow night, ok?"
"Sounds like a plan, come on, let's go back before they get TOO suspicious." Cait said grabbing Justin's arm and dragging him into the kitchen with the rest of the group.
"Hey guys, where ya been?" Chris asked when they re-entered the kitchen.
"None of your business where we've been." Cait told him.
"Ok, fine." Chris said holding his arms up in surrender. The girls stayed for a few more hours until Andi and Chris wanted to go home.
"Whit, can I talk to you for a sec beore you go?" JC asked her grabbing her by the arms.
"Of course! What's up?" Whitney asked curiously.
"Well, I wanted to know if you woudl be interested in going out with me tomorrow night?" He asked her.
"Of course I would like to go out with you, what time and where?"
"Well, I'll pick you up around 8:00 and we can go ot a movie or something, ok?"
"Sounds like a plan, man, I'll see you later JC, good-bye." Whitney said, giving JC a small kiss on the cheek before getting in the car. The next night both Justin and JC went out on their dates. Both of them had a good time and they both learned alot about their dates.
"I have a little something for you here," Cait said.
"Awww, you didn't have to." Andi replied.
"Well, wait until you open it, you might mean those words."
"I doubt it." Andi said as she began tearing the paper off the box. When she opened she pulled out a pair of leather maternity pants and started cracking up.
"OMG! I can't beleive you actually got these!" Andi said in disbeleif.
"why not? I figured you would enjoy them."
"Well, thank you so much, I'll have to wear them when I start to show!"
"Damn straight you will!" Cait said as everyone laughed.
