                After the ride home Carter and I head downstairs to our cave to get dressed for my parent's dinner. "I have something to tell you." Carter says while we sit down. "Okay. What is it." I ask her calmly. She shows me her hand. On her finger is a huge diamond ring. "Oh my gosh. No way." I say getting excited. "Before you get too excited, I have one more small thing to tell you." She says blushing. I look at her letting her know that she can tell me. "I think I might be pregnant." She says. I look at her and start bursting out laughing. "Why are you laughing?" She asks me confused. "It is funny because I am pregnant." I tell her. Her smile is so big that it might fall off her face. "Our babies can play together." She yells. We start laughing together. "Lets get dressed." I tell her. We go upstairs to get ready for dinner. Carter quickly slips on a long blue gown for evening. She has her hair curled down. I have on a simple purple dress that comes to my knees. It has a belt on the waist and mini patterns at the bottom. I got it from Forever 21 in America. I've had it for a while. I put on some simple black pumps and put my hair up into a nice bun with a purple flower by it. Elliot is wearing a nice pair of black pants from a suit he has. He also has on a white button down shirt with a purple bow tie, which matches my dress, and some nice black shoes. Nick is wearing some really expensive nice khakis and a light blue polo shirt, which matches Carter's dress, and some slick black shoes. We all hop in Carter's car. It is a Silver 2011 Nissan Rogue. Her dad got it for her before he passed. Sadly, Carter's parents passed away the year we met. Ever since then she has always either lived with me or on her own. Her aunt didn't want anything to do with her, so she gave her some money and disappeared  My mom hated it when she rented out an apartment and was all alone so that is why she was always over. That is why it was no surprise to see her everyday. As we pull up in Allison's driveway, we see an unfamiliar car sitting there. It is a Silver Chevrolet Camaro. "Looks like someone will be joining us." I say as Elliot opens my door. He looks over at the car and walks straight for the door. We follow behind him. He knocks on the door. It opens and Zion is standing there with a smile on his face. "Zion, I didn't know you would be here." I tell him surprised. "Well, I had to come to see how your trip was. Come on in." He says gesturing for us to come in. We walk in. "You know him. How?" Elliot says gritting through his teeth. I forgot to let Elliot know about Zion? How could I forget? Oh yeah, now I remember. "Well, I was going to tell you the day Trevor and I went out to lunch and you saw us, but you were too jealous and angry to listen." I whisper to him. He tenses remembering. "Hi, my name is Elliot. Nice to meet you." Elliot says all of a sudden and walks over to shake Zion's hand. "Hey Elliot. I have heard a lot about you. I am a woodcutter and I have one son. " Zion asks Elliot. It is so obvious that Zion is nervous and wants Elliot to like him. " Nice, I own a warehouse near here and I have one child too." Elliot says evening it out. "Elliot!!!" I hiss. I wanted to tell Allison, not let her hear it. "What? Am I missing something?" Allison asks confused. "Allison, I am pregnant!!!" I tell her excitedly. Her face snaps with excitement. "Oh my gosh. I am going to be a grandma! I didn't think I was that old!!!" She blabbers on with anxiousness. I start laughing. "Calm Down Allison." I tell her trying to calm down her nerves. "How old is your son?" Elliot asks out of nowhere. "He should be about Krystal's age. His name is Harris." Zion finishes. I cringe. I remember him telling me about him before we left. "Elliot, Zion's son is my step-brother. Zion wants me to reconnect the connection they lost many years ago." I finally fill in the confusion. Elliot tenses. "You are the guy who raised that cowardly freak?!?" Elliot yells. "Yes I am. May I ask what he did to be called a cowardly freak?" Zion asks staying calm. "What he did? What he didn't do you mean! He sat there and watched as Krystal was nearly killed. He had so many freaking multiple chances to stand up or get help, but he freaking just sat there. I know God needs me to forgive, but with him it will take much time." Elliot finishes. He got all his frustration, I mean anger out. "What do you mean by nearly killed." Zion asks. Elliot starts shaking. "Go for a walk Elliot." I tell him. He dashes out the door which he slams behind him. "I got it." Nick says while running right behind him out the door. I nod. "Zion, my father was a crazy obsessed man. He beat me nearly everyday. Jenna and Harris never did anything about it, but they knew what was going on." I explain. Zion's face turns red. "I apologize for my son's cowardly behavior." He says. My phone rings so I pick it up and walk to the other room. "Hello?" I ask in the phone.

"Hi, I am the head skateboarder of the group that Michael was talking to you about. My name is Harris Miller and May I ask what yours is." I nearly drop the phone. Harris got my number.

"Listen here. I don't know if this is a joke, but I am done with you Harris. Don't show any interest in me now. You didn't when I was getting beat. By the way your dad says hi." I hang the phone up as soon as I finish. I walk into the room getting upset. I walk over towards Elliot. "His number is *(707)-516-9045.(A/N..Please don't be that one person who tries to call the number. Just don't.)Just make sure he doesn't call my cell again please." I tell him. He runs outside to talk on the phone. Allison, Carter and I just head over to the table to eat. We sit down and eat in silence for a few minutes then we start talking about our trip. By the time we finished joking and talking, we had finished desert. "Oh, I forgot to tell you." Carter stops Allison. "I'm listening." Allison sits back down and listens. "Mamma Al, I'm also pregnant, but we want to be married before we have the baby. He already proposed, but I was wondering if you would like to help plan our wedding." Carter asks with hope in her eyes. "Carter, as much as I want to get started planning your wedding. I just can't. I don't have the money for it right now." Allison says sadly. Carter's face falls. "Good thing I will have the money in two more days." Allison says smiling with huge eyes. Carter looks up. "I don't understand." Carter says confused. "Well, my stupid ex husband wasn't smart enough to get all the money out of his safe and he forgot to change the password to two of his bank accounts that we supposedly shared. Tomorrow, I will be going to the bank to get all the money out and store it in my own account. Zion has been paying off this house and that's a lot to ask. I would be happy to help plan your wedding." Allison explains. We all jump up and down squealing. Zion comes in the room with a pissed off face. When he sees' the scenery, his face changes. "What did I miss ladies?" Zion asks confused. "Oh, nothing. Just that my daughter-in-law is pregnant and my little niece is pregnant too." Allison says calmly. Awe, she called Carter her niece. "Oh, Wait, What!!" Zion runs over to Carter picks her up in the air and starts dancing with her. Allison turns on some old music. "Oh, I'm so proud." He starts dancing again until his eyes fall on me. "Your turn." Zion says. "Noooo." I yell giggling. He throws me in the air and I hear the door open. After he catches me, we start dancing. I'm spinning until he dips me and pulls me back up. We are all laughing. The music turns off, but Zion and I keep dancing. I start cracking up laughing. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN HERE!!! I LEAVE FOR FIVE MINUTES AND COME BACK TO SEE MY WIFE IN THE AIR, EVERYONE DANCING, AND LAUGHTER! KRYSTAL, EXPLAIN!" He yells waiting for an answer. He is so pissed off. "I am only going to ask you once not to yell in our parents house. We were just dancing and celebrating the fact that we are going to we having a child. I am so sorry that your mood didn't fit our taste." I snap at Elliot. "Ha, This is my mom's house. Did you forget that your mom lives in a different country? My mood isn't fitting your taste. I'm not sure your baby's mood is fitting my taste because I'm not even sure it's mine. I don't even remember us... There you go. You wonder why I've been so distant, well that's why. I am not sure it's mine." Elliot says with a smile on his face. "Elliot!" Allison takes a sharp deep breath. "No, it's okay Allison. I've taken too many blood tests to prove whose child this is. I am going home. When I get there I don't want to see your face in that house. I better not hear, smell, or see you until I feel like it. Since this is YOUR mom's house how about you stay here for a few days." By the time I finish talking I am dripping with tears and anger. I storm out the house and start walking. I walk until I can't feel my feet anymore. I walk to the nearest place I will feel safe. I walk to Trevor's house. When I get to the door, I see the porch light is on. I walk up and knock on the door. "Hello? What are you doing out here in this cold? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Trevor answers the door and lets me in. He guides me toward his living room which has a plain sight of his beautiful kitchen. "Sit on the couch while I stir up some tea. You know what. Since you're from America, I'll make some hot chocolate." I nod. He makes his way over to the kitchen and gets cooking. "So, you wanna tell me what's the matter?" Trevor asks silently as he heats the hot chocolate. As he makes his way over to me with two mugs in his hand, I start to cry. "Babe, don't cry. Come on, tell me what happened." Trevor says as he hugs me. He is so comfortable. "Elliotsaidthebabywasnthisandthathismomisntmymom." I cry out. "Sweetheart, I can't understand unless you slow down. Here, drink something first." He grabs the cups and stirs it around then hands it to me. I take a few sips then take a deep breath. I explain everything that happens. "It feels so great to get it all out." I explain. "I get how you feel. That's why I box." He shares with me. "I don't feel like doing anything. Can you turn on "Modern Family?" I ask him wanting to get some laughter from the television. "I knew I liked you for some reason." Trevor says chuckling which makes me smile. We lay on the couch and watch it on Netflix until I fall asleep.
