"here you can use these" Linda said as she handed Trish one of her pjs.
"Thanks"
"So, are you gonna tell me what's going on?" Linda asked as she watched Trish getting on the pjs.
"well, I really don't know what to tell you" she said as she sat on Linda's bed.
"Maybe the truth the reason for all this secret, what are we gonna do tomorrow?"
"Linda..."
"Yes?"
"you know how I always bitch at you to use something you know?"
"yeah sure, sometimes you just push it too hard seems like you think I'm a kid or something"
"yeah, seems like I was the irresponsible kid " Trish said as she covered her face with her hands and started crying
"What? what ? what do you mean?"
"Trish looked up at her "I' m saying that I'm late, and that I'm never late, and that there is a chance I can be pregnant"
Linda just stood there in shock, "pregnant?"
****************
"Shit it was gonna be tonight I was so sure" Howie said as he walked with Nick to his room
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Well.." Howie said as he opened the door "this" as Nick saw Howie's room with mountains of red roses, and a dinner for the two with candles and all.
"Oh, you were planning a big night huh?" Nick asked as he laughed a little
"Well, it seems like it's just you and me my dear"
"Man, that's scary"
"I know, I wanted to make it really special for her to see if we could start all over again"
"All over again?"
"Well I love her very much, but but I just need a little more"
"sex?"
"yup, we like just sleep together, nothing more"
"no, you're kidding me right?"
"No, it's the honest true, I've been patient and all but sometimes"
"I know I know"
"well anyway i hope you're hungry"
"Always"
"great, common let's eat"

Trish just curled up on her bed next to Linda's and closed her eyes trying to sleep.
"T?" Linda finally called breaking the icy silence.
"Yes? she answered not turning around to face her
"who's the father? If well, if you are really pregnant.. coz maybe you aren't, but if there is a chance you are, you know who is it?"
Trish turned around to face Linda.
"AJ, it has to be him, coz well it was the only time we had sex but we didn't use something"
"shit, and what do you pretend to do?"
"I dunno, Linda I really dunno, and for the first time I gotta say I'm really scared"
" aw T, I'll be there for you, don't worry"
"I know you will, thanks"
"But let's not start worrying yet, ok? maybe it's nothing, maybe you aren't pregnant"
"Yeah maybe"
"Let's just sleep, good night Leticia"
"Good night Linda, love yah"
"Love you too"

"we need to go to a supermarket or something"
"No, I think it's better go to a drugstore and get a test there" Trish said as the two girls were waking that cold spring morning on the streets of Berlin
"Yeah you're right" Linda said as she hold on to Trish's hand "Don't worry T"
"I'm ok, let's get this over with"

Howie woke up to see Nick was already up.
"Shit Nick, what's up with that? you are already up? what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just I wanted to call Linda early, and like she has her mobil off, and now I'm starting to worry"
"Come on she is just sleeping, you know better then that"
"No, I'm sure she isn't, she said she was going out with Trish first thing in the morning"
"huh? why?"
"Dunno, but

Trish arrived at Linda's parent's house it was lunch time, the two girls

"I know I'm pregnant, I just know, I can fell it" she said as she smiled at her
"And is that bad or good? sorry me asking but I just don't get what's on your mind"
"it's wonderful, yeah, i admit it at first I started panicking, but I'm gonna keep this baby, i am, and I don't care if I have to live on my own and all, but this is just such a beautiful gift "
"Yeah" Linda said as she started nervously laughing a little
"So, Linda look at it, what does it say?"
"Well..."

"Come on Nick, just leave that phone alone" Howie said as he was getting dressed
"Shit, why does she have it off'? it's past noon"
"Come on you need to get ready we have to get something to eat and then we have that interview with bravo"
"Screw the interview I need to know what's going on and now" he said as he dialled her number one more time and finally heard a tune

***********************
"Shit, it was Nick, I must have forgotten the mobil home with all the rush and all" Linda said as she turned around to see Trish was sitting there at her bed
"Are you ok T?"
"I'm fine" she said as she gave her a smile "Well, I'm gonna be a mommy, that's like wow scary"
"Are you sure you wanna go through with it?"
"Positive, if God send me this child He had to have a reason, and I'm not getting ride of it"
"No, I wasn't suggesting that, but what about Howie? and what about AJ?"
"I really care a lot for Howie, he has been the greatest friend I could ask for, but, I'm not gonna lie, it's just isn't me, I'm go tell him, I don't care I think i'll move back to my mom's place"
"Going back to Portugal???? Are you abandoning me? Oh no"
"i have to, I can't stay with you guys, it's just isn't right"
"And what about AJ? You are going to tell him aren't you?"
"No" she said as she looked down at her feet
"No? are you out of mind? If he is the dad he needs to know!"
"No, listen, what me and AJ had was like amazing, so, so I just don't have words to describe it, but it was just not right, and look at him, it didn't took him long to find what he wanted in another woman's arms"
"I don't think you have the right to do that"
"No, it's my baby, you know just mine"
"It took two to make him"
"Yeah I know, but that time we were already over and he had no right to treat me that way, so he has no right on this child"
"I'm not with you on this one, sorry but I'm not. I'll be there for you and for that baby, but I don't think it's right what you are doing"
"Linda, promise me"
"Promise you what?"
"Promise me, you ain't gonna tell a word to Nick or any of the guys, let me tell Howie, please"
"Fine, but I ain't gonna lie to Nick"
"I didn't
ask you to do that"
