ALEX'S POV

"Jack I'm pregnant! It's Alex's!"

My breath caught in my throat as I looked at the two people arguing in Jack's room. Jack's eyes got wide as they turned to my own and the girls head snapped around quickly.

The entire room was silent and I heard Cass gasp from behind me. "I tried to stop him." she whispered.

Liz is pregnant with my child?

She had tears rolling down her cheeks and I wanted too comfort her but it was all to surreal. I couldn't move.

"Alex I-" I didn't give her a chance to explain as I turned around and walked off. I got in my car and just drove, there was no way I could do this.

I needed to think. I needed to see how I felt. I couldn't handle this. I wasn't supposed to feel like this when I saw Liz! I should hate her! But when I saw her standing there, I was so happy. Even with what she said.

It's because I love her. I am completely in love with her. That's why I haven't stopped thinking about her in two months. That's why I've been a wreck- even if I acted tuff. She was the girl I loved and she was carrying my child.

ELIZABETH'S POV

Alex wouldn't listen to anybody as he walked out of the house, completely emotionless.

Jack stayed quiet as Cass and Rian turned to me. "Will give you guys time?" she smiled sadly and hugged me.

"Congrats, Liz." Rian said it lightly but it didn't help the situation. He hugged me tightly before walking downstairs and leaving with Cass.

Jack hadn't said a word and I carefully turned around to face him.

He sat down on the bed and let out a breath. He looked in shock. But I would be too if I just found out my best friend- who I hadn't seen in two months- was carrying my other best friends child.

"Your pregnant?" he breathed.

I nodded my head, "I found out a week ago." I mumbled.

"I didn't know. I'm sorry." I sat down beside him as he spoke. He sounded weak and tired of fighting.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have just left Jack." 

He turned and looked at me with remorse, "Can we just start fresh? Please? I want my best friend back." 

"I should be the one asking this, but yes. Of course. I love you Jacky, I love you a lot." I hugged him tightly until he pulled away.

"Alex will come around. He's crazy about you. He's just still hurt from you leaving, and now with a baby, I'm sure he just needs time to clear his mind." Jack frowned sadly and I nodded my head.

"I understand, I'll give him time. Can I stay here for a little while? I don't exactly want to go home until I find out what Alex wants to do. If he wants to be part of the babies life and stuff. So I might be here a little while."

"Of course you can, and Alex will want too. But what about your job?"

"I got fired from taking off to much time." I chuckled knowing it was from going to see Jack all the time, "So Harley's rich parents have been helping me out. It's what I needed, even though I feel horrible."

He looked sad, "You could have asked for help."

"Jacky, I wouldn't ask you to do that. Ever." I smiled and hugged him again.

"Movie night?" Jack smiled again- a real smile.

"Of course! If you make the popcorn, I'll pick out the movie?" he nodded his head and we both hurried downstairs.

I made my way to the den where I knew all his movies were. I decided on The Nightmare Before Christmas, because Tim Burton is the best guy ever, and wandered back upstairs.

Getting bored easily as Jack made popcorn I pulled out my phone and checked twitter.

4 new mentions

@JackAllTimeLow: Movie night with @elizabethxo_ ! I missed this bitch! 

@JackAllTimeLow: I burnt the popcorn don't tell Liz

@jackbarakitty: @elizabethxo_ is hanging with ATL again? YES! Everythings fixed :)

@joshmeatsix: ATL gets to see @elizabethxo_ but i don't? not cool lady <3

I smiled at Jack's tweet- typical Jack - and retweeted them. I retweeted Josh's tweet and replied to the fan.

@elizabethxo_: @jackbarakitty, yes i am! so stoaked to be back with my boys ;)

I saw Pete had tweeted something about being on tour in Baltimore and decided to tweet him too.

@PeteWentz heard you might be near balt? your gonna stop by and see me right? ;)

I pulled up IMessage and sent two texts.

To: Harley
Alex knows. I'm staying at Jack's. Rian, Cass, and Jack are all okay. I haven't talked to Zack. Alex walked off.

To: Josh
Are you happy? I'm /trying/ to make up with the guys. x

Harley texted back in seconds saying 'Alex will come around, he loves you!' and I didn't bother to reply. Everyone was so convinced Alex liked me when he probably he hated me.

I closed my phone as I heard Jack come back upstairs. "So I remade the popcorn, because I burnt it." he admitted.

"Wow, Jack." I giggled as he put the movie I picked into the DVD player happily and climbed into bed.

I curled up next to him and smiled, "I missed this." 

"I missed this too. I need my best friend time." he smiled and kissed the top of my head as the movie started.

"I hope little guy or gal likes Tim Burton movies." I heard Jack mumbled and then stop. I glanced up to see him frozen. I was little shocked but didn't show it.

"I-I'm sorry." he stuttered.

I breathed, "It's okay. I mean I'm having a child- it's something that's happening. We can't ignore it. And you're my best friend so you have every right to say stuff like that."

He smiled brightly, "Your gonna name it Jack right? If it's a boy?"

I shrugged, "I don't think Alex would want that."

I stopped myself and frowned, "He probably doesn't want the baby either." I mumbled.

Jack pulled away, making me sit up, "Don't say that. I know Alex, he'll want to have that baby with you."

I shrugged, "Jack what if he doesn't? I can't raise a baby on my own." 

I felt the tears welling up and Jack grabbed my hands, "Then you'll move in with Uncle Jack and I'll help you raise it. But Alex will want to raise the baby."

Before I could protest Jack turned his head back to the movie and I knew he wouldn't talk about it anymore.

I sighed and curled up against him again, letting myself drift to sleep.
