Okay, so on the cleanup part, we stopped at the opening of the love letter from Anderson. Let's continue!

They had just finished reading the letter. They were all freaking out!

"Oh my golly, golly gosh! Is this reaaaal?!" Candice exclaimed.

Here is the content from the letter:

Dear Rachel,

I admire you so much. I hope you'll notice me someday. I have a crush on you. Oh, maybe this isn't having a crush. It looks like I'm falling in love with you. Every inch of you. I love you so much.

Yours truly,
Anderson Cooper

And that's it!

"Oh my God! Chloe, where did you found this?" Jessica exclaimed.

"Just on the pile of trash," Chloe answered.

She was surprised. Pretty much.

"This is....a treasure, Chloe! Holy cow! Keep this secret, 'kay?" she muttered.

Somebody was knocking on the door and they hurriedly cleaned the whole room up.

"Coming!" Candice shouted from the kitchen, the messiest part of the whole house. It was where the letter was found. They hurriedly hid the letter inside Chloe's shirt.

"Holy cow! Faster!" Candice whispered to them.

They were still knocking on the door. Candice hurried and opened the door.

"Oh! W-welcome b-back, Rachel, Anderson!" she stammered. She had to lie to them.

"What happened?" Rachel asked.

"N-nothing, Rachel," she answered, still stammering. "C-come on, l-let's go eat l-lunch."

They were appraoching the dining room but Chloe stopped them.

"Wait, Rachel! Are you tired? Go to sleep first?" she interrupted.

"Uhm, yes, Chloe. We'll just skip for today," Rachel answered. They went upstairs and closed the door.

"Thank you, Chloe," Candice sighed. She almost blew up their cover.

"Quick! Hide the letter in your purse, Candice! Don't let them see it!" Jessica commanded. She agrees and hides the letter.

"What is the commotion there?" Rachel asked them weakly. But they said it was nothing.

"Okay," she said and went upstairs and locked the door.

Everyone sighed. It was close! Chloe was trembling bad and she had to go to the toilet fast!

"Hey, Chloe! What's happening?! Go to the toilet, quick!" Candice exclaimed, helping her go to the toilet.

Much to her surprise, Chloe was vomiting blood and she is rushed to the hospital by them.

The next morning, Rachel found out what happened to Chloe.

"Hey, Anderson, we need to go to the hospital, quick!" she exclaimed as she packed her things and went out to drive the car. She rushed with Anderson to the hospital to check on Chloe. Candice and the others were already there.

"Rachel, I have something to say to you..." she frankly said. "...I'm going to have a baby!"

Rachel gasped and cried in awe.

"Holy cow! What?!" she exclaimed.

They were surprised, too. Chloe's having a baby!

"My pregnancy test was positive, too. But I don't know yet what it is," she sadly told them.

"But it's still a baby, Chloe! Don't be saddened," Rachel encouraged.

"But, what if it's...not for me?" she said with still a sad, tearful tone.

"It's okay, Chloe. We're here for you. Anderson, Sara, Lynn, Candice..all of us! Look, you're surrounded by all of your closest friends!" Rachel optimistically said.

"Thank you, Rachel. Can you please fill in for me at my show?" she asked.

"Of course!" she agreed. And then they left.

She raced to the studio and waited for 11 am, since her show "The News Today with Chloe O'Hara" will start at that exact time.

Then the clock struck ten. She was being prepared for the broadcast.

Then the clock struck eleven.
