Chapter Four

Early the next morning , Cassia stretched and yawned, She rolled over to place her arm across Nick's bare cheats, but all it hit was empty space. "Nick?" she asked, as she sat up she realized all Nick's things were missing, all that was in the room was her and her clothing that was scattered across the floor. She got up wrapping the blanket around her naked body, She searched the room, only finding a note.

Cassia, Last night was great babe, see ya in 12 months - Nickels Carter.

Cassia felt hoot tears threaten the brims of her eyes, furiously she got dressed and left the room.

1 month later....

"oh my god Mandy! How can this happen? To me! I'm the most popular girl on campus," Cassie whined. She paced her friends dorm room.

"Cassia, your the second most popular, Brooke Willkins is the most popular, she is dating Lance now. But your right if this gets out, your popularity is going to go from cool to slut," Shy little Maundy Replied.

Cassie groaned and fell into a hoot pink bean bag chair. She began to fan herself with her palms. "God why, how?" she asked.

Maundy began to rub her head, "Well you had a night of pleasure that leads into 9 months of hell" Maundy said (*AN* in a voice that sounded like Phoebe from Hey Arnold)

Cassia just moaned louder.

7 months later.

"I hate this, My ankles are sore , I can't see my feet, I look like a blimp," Cassia moaned sitting on her new couch in her new apartment. She and Demon had moved out of the house they had to share with Dominic, Carla and Marie.

"You look great," her 12 year old brother offered. Her Two friends Buff and Maundy snickered a little. The phone began to ring. Cassie paid no attention to who answered it or what they said, she was grumpy, pregnant and sore.

She hoped all hell would freeze over. She felt her brother tap her shoulder.

"Nick," he replied, she made a noise that sounded like she said GRRRRRR. Buffy, Mandy and Devon made their way to the kitchen.

"Hello," she said grumpy,

"Oh don't you sound cheerful," Nick laughed.

"Look, I'm fat, I'm sore, I'm bitchy, and I haven't had my god damn period in 8 months, do you still want me to be perky," she argued.

"8 months?" Nick repeated.

"Is there an echo? Yes 8 months, I'm pregnant Sherlock. Why do you think I moved out, quit college and got a full time job, I have a house to pay for, a little brother to take care of, and an on coming child," She sighed, she felt horrible that she was so rude.

"Who's baby..." before Nick could finish the question she answered.

"Yours" she whispered.

Nick was silent for a few moments. "I'll try to be home early," with that he hung up the phone.

Nick sighed and put his head into his hands. He was all mixed up inside, he didn't know how to feel.

"Brian!" he called.

Brian made his way into the room, "What's up Frack?" He asked. Nick couldn't help it, all the emotions were rushing at him at once, he broke down crying. Brian dropped the dish towel he was holding and wrapped his arms tightly around the 20 year old. His little brother, his partner, his best friend. "Nick what's wrong," he asked, He hated to see Nick in so much pain, when they were young, like when Nick was really little and joined the group, on tours, Nick would crawl into where ever Brian was, just to talk, most of the time he fell asleep all curled up at the bottom like a little puppy dog, but sometimes he would lay back and relax in Brian's lap or lay next to him. Finally Nick had calmed down enough to speak.

"I got Cassia pregnant," he sniffed.

Brian sighed, "Nick I told you would get in trouble one of these times," Brian let go of him and stood back up, "Do you love her?" he asked.

Nick thought "Yes!" he laughed and ran out to his car.

"I'll call you later!" he called behind his shoulder.

Brian laughed and went back to drying towels.
