"This is bullhonkey." I muttered under my breath as I tried to button my jeans. I heard Olga snicker from the door way as she watched me struggle with the button.

"Having som problems there?" She asked rhetorically as she waltzed in the room.

"Ha ha. Very funny." I scowled at her. "You wouldn't be laughing if you were me at the moment."

"This is very true. But this is why we're going shopping." She smiled brightly as she headed over to the closet door. "First things first. You can't wear jeans."

"What?" I exclaimed. "No I refuse to wear anything else. It's cold today and I'm NOT wearing a dress." I protested.

"You'd rather go around with unbutton pants?" She asked me as she pulled out a light blue dress. The dress that meant to be be worn on my honeymoon.

"Maybe..." I muttered as she threw the dress on the bed and started riffling the dresser for something else. "Is this really necessary? I mean I can borrow pants from you or Allie."

"Nope you can't." He said popping the 'p'. Standing back up she made an "ah ha" sound and turned back to me holding a pair of black leggings. "Perfect. And you can wear a jacket if you want."

"In my head I know I should be thanking you. But I really don't want to wear a dress." I said looking at the clothing on the bed.

"Tough." She smiled and started for the door so I could change. "I'll be out here waiting."

"Yeah yeah yeah." I sighed and started to change my clothes. Slipping my tee-shirt and tank top off I slipped the dress on and sat on the bed to wrestle myself out of my tight pants. When I was done, I silently walked into the bathroom and looked at mussel in the full length mirror. I really wasn't big yet. Hardly even noticeable. But when you're a size zero in pants, a little bit of weight makes a huge difference. And to be honest I wasn't really looking forward to pregnancy jeans. I don't know. I just find them awkward.

I walked out of the bedroom in my converse and modified outfit to find Olga vlogging and Toby being stupid in the background. As per usual. My brain snickered. I rolled my eyes at myself. You fell in love with that remember? I told myself as Olga noticed me and ran up to give me a hug. "Told you you'd look fantastic." She beamed, then leaned in closer, dropping her voice to a whisper. "And someone's staring." She joked and motioned to Toby.

I pulled back laughing and smiled sarcastically. "Still wanna wear pants."

"We'll that's why we're going shopping. Now go say good bye to your lover so we can go. I'll be in the car." She said and walked off.

"Hey." Toby smiled and wrapped his arms around me.

"What's going on?" I asked seriously. "You've been out of sorts all week. Something is worrying you."

He sighed and let his head rest against mine, finally giving up the secret. "Em hon, when are we gonna tell Ian? He needs to know. He is your brother after all. He's basically the only one who doesn't know. I mean even Mel knows."

I sighed. I was regretting this part of all that's happened. "Ian and I aren't really on talking terms still." I mumbled as I rest my head against his chest.

"Still?" He asked surprised. I nodded.

"He's still mad about the death thing you know? I'm worried

What he'll say or do when he does know about the baby." I confessed.

"But he's your brother. He still loves you, no matter what happens in life." Toby said reassuringly rubbing my back.

"I know. I gotta go. We gotta pick up Allie." I said I actually tried pulling away from him this time, not wanting to continue this topic.

"Okay..." He nodded and let me go. I muttered a small 'thank you' before scurrying out the door.

"What took so long?" Olga exclaimed jokingly.

I stuttered for a moment. "T-Toby wants to tell Ian about this..."

Olga just looked at me, an apologetic look to her face. "He's right Em. He is our brother after all."

"That's what he said." I mumbled as I buckled into the car. "An I know you guys are right. But I'm jut afraid that he'll hate me more.

"What?! Ian doesn't hate you!" She exclaimed, stopping dead in her tracks of backing out of the driveway. I looked at her shock ridden face. "He's just disappointed with you. You yourself said when you both met Ian said he didn't want you to end up in the hospital the same way he has." She explained like it really was that easy.

"Olga I never told him about the birth control thing. He's gonna think Toby did it on purpose." I responded, still looking on the down side of things.

"The point is, he'll love you no matter what. That's what older brothers are for." She said with a smile and started back out of the drive again and towards allies house. As we pulled into Allie and Felix's new apartment, Allie was already waiting outside for us, squealing in joy as she ran up to the car.

"Hey guys!!" She exclaimed a little to brightly.

"What kinds of drugs are you on now?" I chuckled.

"All of them." She replied looking my dead in the eye very seriously.

"Oh joyous." I said sarcastically.

"Ooh Mickey. I haven't got to tell you!!" She exclaimed once more, almost bursting Olga and I's eardrums. And before I could even get 'what?' out, she was crying out the answer. "Ryan is coming for the wedding!!"

"Ryan? And ex or and old friend?" Olga asked, not knowing who we were talking about. I somewhat ignored her, but yet at the same time answered her question.

"Cry is gonna be there? Felix got him to agree?" I screeched myself.

"Yes!" She said obviously overjoyed. "He's gonna wear his mask, but then again he never really takes it off." She shrugged the last part, returning to her normal self. Or as normal as an Allie can get.

"Cryoatic?" Olga asked.

"Yes!" Allie and I said in unison.

"Oh. My. God." She said slowly.

"I. Know." Allie said matching

Olga tone.

----------------------------------------

"We need to go tell him..." I said out if the blue to Toby. He looked up - or down rather - at me in confusion.

I sat up so he could himself sit up. "What? Now?" He managed after setting his laptop down.

"Yes. You were right. He's my brother. He deserves to know." I said. My stomach churned, and for a second I thought I was going to be sick.

"Okay." Toby said, reassuringly squeezing my hands. "Let's go then."

I nodded and followed him out the door to his car. Well this would be an experiment...

AN: I know. A bit of a cliff hanger. I'm sorry. But I don't want to just skip month to month of the pregnancy. So next chapter will be about Ian and Em I guess. And I also know this was a short chapter. Sorry bout that too. My laptop still doesn't have a cord so I can't get anything off of it still. I'm sooooo sorry!! I'm gonna try to get it tonight with the little battery it has left. I gtg I'm in school. Soo yeah...

Don't go crazy while I'm gone.
