*Audrey's POV*

Its been three weeks since Zander came home and since Kane got his stuff and got out. I couldn't deal with the fighting no more and I didn't need it. What we need is to be seperated from each other and I think that's the best thing to do. The house being this quiet just made everything feel eerie. I've never been so lost without my husband.

I was standing in front of the sink tending to some dishes when I heard someone knock at the front door. I set the dishes on the drying rack and dried my hands off with a towel as I walked to the front door. I opened it to reveal Carmen and Bria standing there. Carmen was holding a white paper bag. I knew exactly why she was here.

They came into the house and walked upstairs to my bedroom. I led them into the master bathroom and closed the door. I figured since Bria was Carmen's daughter I'd let them do it without me getting in the way. Carmen walked out and took a seat down on my bed.

"I'm a nervous wreck and I'm not taking the test!" Carmen laid back on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. "But you told me that the best thing I can do is support Bria."

"Correct." I smiled laying down next to my best friend. "Just don't worry about the what if's right now. Bria's still in there and the results don't even come out until five minutes. So, let's just chill out and wait."

Bria walked out from the bathroom and sat at the bottom of my bed. Carmen sat up and crawled down to her daughter. She wrapped her arm around Bria's shoulder and hugged her tightly. "Its going to be alright." Carmen kissed Bria's temple and rested her chin on top of head.

A knock at my door caused our heads to look up to see who it was. Only Zander. He stood in the doorway, not knowing what to do or say. Bria got up from the bed walking over to him and lightly hugged him since his rib was broken. Zander looked at me confused and hugged Bria back.

"Are you pre-"

"No, we have to wait five minutes, right Mom?" Bria asked turning towards Carmen.

Carmen nodded her head and turned back to look at me. I nodded my head back to her and rested my head against one of the pillows. Carmen duked it out with Corbin and let Bria and Zander continue to date. Just in case they end up being parents. I couldn't imagine my son having a child this young, it just bothered me.

I got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. "I'll be back. I'm going to use the bathroom." I closed the door and turned on the sink splashing my face with cold water.

I know my Mother was in the shock of her life when she found out she was pregnant with me, but who could blame her? Can you blame any teenager being in shock if they found out they're pregnant. No, its a scary and tough situation to be in. I could only imagine how scared my parents were.

"Has it been five minutes yet?" I heard Bria ask.

"Not even close, Bria. Just be patient."

I looked down at the sink counter and looked at the waiting pregnancy test. I looked into the bag that Carmen had brought over and saw there was another box in the bag. I pulled it out and stared at it. Its been awhile since the night Corbin and the kids walked in on me and Kane.

It was only one time and I know we talked about having another baby, but I doubt anything happened. But then again I haven't been feeling myself lately. What am I worrying about? Its probably because of all this fighting that's been going on. It wouldn't hurt if I took one, right? I pulled the test from the box and did what I needed to do.

I didn't want Carmen and the kids to get suspicious of me, so when I was done I placed the test far from Bria's and flushed the toilet running the water washing my hands. I smiled coming out from the bathroom and took my spot back on the bed.

Several minutes later Carmen and I were still sprawled out on my bed, while Zander and Bria made themselves a spot on the floor in front of the TV. Bria groaned rolling her head back and looked up at Carmen.

"Are the five minutes up, Mom?"

Carmen pulled her phone from her pocket and looked at the screen. "Just about."

"It wouldn't hurt if we looked at them a second early?" I suggested.

Carmen nodded her head getting up and walked into the bathroom. I got up with her and stared down at the results with her. Carmen looked up at me and then to Bria. I walked into the bathroom to see if my test was done yet. Just in time it was. I picked it up and stared at mine as well.

"Mom, what is it?!"

"You're not pregnant!"

Bria, Zander, and Carmen all let out a sigh of relief. Bria gently hugged Zander and kissed his cheek.

"Guess who is?" I said walking out with the positive stick in my hand.
