Jenna stared numbly at the results. She was pregnant. She was pregnant and she didn't know what to do. What kind of mess have I gotten myself into? she thought, regretflly, What am I gonna do?
She sat down on the cold bathroom floor, and rocked herself, tears falling down her cheeks. The worst thing about this was that she didn't know who the father was.
"Frick, you've been acting pretty weird lately. What's up?" Nick asked, while they were driving back to the hotel. Nick and Brian went in Nick's car, and Kevin, AJ, and Howie went in Kevin's car. Well, the rented ones anyway.
Brian looked up abruptly. He looked at his best friend, and could feel the familiar guilt rise up every time he saw Nick, and talked to him.
"Bri?" Nick repeated. He looked away from the road for a second to stare at his friend.
"Nothing's wrong, Nick. What would make you think that?" Brian asked, good-naturedly.
"Well, you've been really quiet lately, and haven't talked much, or gotten much into what we're doing, and you're definitely not like that. Maybe you need a girlfriend," Nick teased, a smile on his face. Brian looked away.
"Yeah. That's probably it," Brian replied.
Jenna stood up from the bathroom floor after a while, and went to bed instead, even though it was pretty early. She tried to fall asleep, but found it nearly impossible. She sighed. I'm in deep crap now, she thought, miserably. What am I gonna tell Nick? He can't find out that I've been with both him and Brian. He would be so crushed, and he would leave me for sure. No. He must never know. Even if the child is Brian's, she thought, determinedly.
"I'll see ya later, Bri. You should rest some," Nick said, before unlocking his hotel room door, and entering the room. He glanced at his watch. 8:30. He walked over to the bed, and saw that Jenna was sleeping. He rubbed her arm soothingly. She looked so tired. Maybe bringing her with me was a mistake. That was selfish on my part, Nick thought. He sighed, and went to get dressed for bed. After all, he couldn't do anything if Jenna was asleep.
The next morning, Jenna slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Nick had brought her breakfast.
"Hey, sleepyhead," Nick said softly. He leaned down and gave her a short kiss. "It's almost one o'clock," Nick informed.
Jenna almost shot out of bed. She had been sleeping for 16 hours straight. "Oh, my God," she whispered, sitting up. She suddenly felt queasy.
"Are you all right, baby? I mean, you slept for an awful long time. What time did you go to sleep? I came around 8:30, and you were already sleeping," Nick said, bringing the tray of food over to the bed. He put it on Jenna's lap.
"Thanks, Nick. Um...I went to sleep around 8." She started to eat the delectable food that was in front of her. It tasted so good.
"Wow...that's a long time. I think you should go to the doctor," Nick suggested, sitting beside her on the bed. Jenna shook her head.
"No, Nick. I'll be okay. It's probably just a stomach virus or something," she said.
"Well...okay, Jen. But if you get worse, I'm taking you, okay?" he said. Jenna nodded.
"We have a radio interview later on today, so you're gonna have to stay here again by yourself. I'm so sorry, baby. I'll make it up to you," Nick said. Jenna smiled weakly. She decided to tell Brian that she was pregnant. He would know what to do.
That night, Jenna told Nick that she wanted to go downstairs to get something to drink, but instead she softly knocked on Brian's door, anxiously, hoping that nobody saw her.
Brian opened the door, and when he saw who it was, he smiled, and pulled her in for a kiss before closing the door. Jenna pulled away.
"Jen? What is it? What's the matter?" Brian asked, pulling her towards the bed to sit down.
Jenna sighed deeply. "Well, um...Brian, I'm pregnant."
