Chapter 2…It was soon two weeks later and the guys had to leave for three days for some promotional stuff. I had not been feeling well so I had decided to go into the doctors to see what was wrong. "Kourtney, I can't seem to find anything wrong with you. Maybe it is just stress." The doctor said looking at some of his papers. "But I am not stressed out. I think I would know if I was." Then the doctor looked up at me. "Have you had any sexual contact in the past few weeks?" He asked looking at me. Oh great I thought. Please just don't get onto this subject. I just nodded my head. "That's what I thought. OK, time to run this final test." I went and took the pregnancy test and sure enough it came back telling me that I was pregnant. I went home that night and just lay on my bed crying not knowing what to do. I didn't have like any friends really except for the guys. My parents never really let me have friends growing up. I really had to talk to somebody, but I didn't know whom. I didn't want to tell Joey yet, cause I was afraid he would want to kill me. So I decided to just wait till the guys got back and I would then talk to one of them, before Joey. I just had to tell one of them so they could support me when I told Joe. I pretty much slept the whole three days till they got home. Now I was stressed out. Soon enough the time came of the guys’ arrival back home from promotional tour and they all made their way to my apartment. We all talked for hours just about nothing and pigged out on pizza. "YUMMY!" Chris said as he ate his 7th piece of pizza that night. "This is pretty good. Usually the pizza sucks around here." He said still chewing. "So Kort, what did you do while we were gone. I know you missed me." "Oh I just missed you so much Chris. I can't stand being away from you for more then two days. It's just so hard." I said with sarcasm. "Oh you know you want me." He said blowing a kiss at me. "Oh god Chris, I'm trying to eat here!." I said as me and the guys laughed at him. "So, Justin how is that girlfriend of yours. What's her name...um...Danaor something?" "We broke up." He said looking kind of sad. "Aww...I'm sorry." I said. I felt bad. Lance quickly changed the subject knowing that Justin did not want to talk about it. "So, Kort. Are you going on tour with us next week?" "Um. I don't know. If you guys really want me around and all." I said looking around at them all. "Of course we do." JC said rubbing his sleepy eyes. "Yeah, especially Joey. He was going through hell the past few days. 'Oh I want Kourtney so bad. Oh I want her now. Oh. Aw. Oh...." He said as Joey threw a pillow upside his head. "Shut up I was not." Joey said. "Man the immaturity in this room!" He said joking around. "I'll be back." He said getting up. "Where ya going?" I asked him. "Bathroom." "Use the one in my room. The other one is broke." He just shook his head. I kept chatting with the guys as Joey went into my room. On his way back to the living room something caught his eye. He saw a book sticking out from under the bed. And the title totally took him off guard. It was called '9 Months of Baby'. A book about what a person would go through during there nine months of Pregnancy. Joey put it back under the bed and slowly made his was back to the living room. "Hey guys..." He started. "Why don't you get going for the night. I'm going to stay here. I wanna be alone with Kort for a little bit." By the look on his face the guys knew something was up and all agreed to bail for the night. I was worried by his look. "Well, Bye Korts." JC said as he gave me a hug and headed out the door. "Bye JC." I said bye to the rest of the guys and shut the door. I turned around to Joey who had disappeared. I walked back to where my room was and saw him sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. "What's up Joey?" I asked at the doorway. He just looked up and didn't say a word. "Joey!" I said as he ignored me. I walked over to him and took a seat right next to him. I turned him so he was facing me. "JOSEPH STOP IGNORINGME!" I said very angrily. He then looked up at me and stood up. "Are you pregnant?" He asked looking down at me. I was stunned. I didn't understand how he could have known. I didn't answer. I just looked down at the ground with my hair hanging in front of my face. "KOURTNEY!" He said even louder. The only thing I could do really was sit there looking down at the ground and spill tears out of my eyes. "I'm sorry." I managed to whisper out of myself. "And when did you plan on telling me?" He asked me calmer. "When we were alone. Joey I am sorry. I am so sorry." I said as I started to cry harder. "Jesus." He started as he sat on the bed and laid back on it. "I'm sorry Hun. I'm so sorry. I know it's all my fault and I let you down ‘cause I got pregnant." I said still crying. He sat back up on the bed and brought me into his arms. "Kort. It's not all your fault. I just don't get it though. We used protection. We had it." He said stroking my hair. "Yeah well it didn't work." I said tilting my head up so I could look at him. "Are you mad at me?" I asked him. "No. I could never be mad at you." He said giving me a kiss on my forehead. "Joey, is this going to ruin your career?" I asked knowing that it could. "Cause I could always stay unseen so no one would know." "Kort. It won't ruin my career. Everyone already knows that I am dating you. If they can handle that they can handle this. And if they can't screw them." He said wiping the tears off my face. "So you are OK with this?" I asked him. "Yeah. Do your parents know?" "Oh shit. I forgot about them!" I said falling back on the bed. "No, they don't know. Oh man. How am I going to tell them? They are never going to approve." "Well, we will see soon enough if they are."

1 WEEK LATER…We thought about the pregnancy almost night and day for a week before the two of us decided to tell my parents. The guys all knew and they were totally cool with it, but now it was my parents turn to find out. We had to tell them before we all left for the tour the next day. We went to their home in Atlanta and broke the news to them. We rang the doorbell waiting for my parents to answer. Their maid Linda answered. "Oh Kourtney! I haven't seen you in ages!" Linda said surprised as my parents came walking down the stairs. "Ahem..." My father said to get our attention. "Hi Daddy." "What are you doing here." "What can't I just stop by?" I asked. "You never just stop by." My mother said. "Well, come in. Tell is what you want." "I don't want anything." I said only moving in the house enough for Joey and I to stand there. "Well...there must be something that you are here for." My mother said as Joey stepped up behind me and put his arms around my waist with my back to him. "Mom. I'm just going to get to the point. I'm pregnant ok."
