-Sarah-

Okay so Cassidy was right. We all did get pregnant at the same time. That's amazing since we only made this deal almost two months ago. And now it’s time to tell our parents and boyfriends. Wren and I are doing this together. We’re sitting down our parents, Mikey, Gee and their parents to tell them. Wren was shaking with fear and nervousness. Poor girl. I was more excited than anything, I mean I’ve always wanted this and it’s the perfect time. I’m with the perfect guy. I smiled and watched everyone watch us. I stood there in a pair of slacks and a yellow hoodie. My blonde hair weaved it way around to one side. Wren sat in a pair of neon green skinny jeans and a black Iron Maiden tee shirt.

“Mom dad. Mrs and Mr Duke. And Mikey and Gerard’s mom....” I trailed off trying to find the best way to put this. I thought for a long moment trying to put my finger on the best way to put it. But before I could even speak Wren slammed down the pregnancy test on the table and begged for forgiveness. I watched as Wren’s mom burst out in tears. Mikey sat there horrified. While his mom was crying softly. My mom got the idea and smiled at me.

“Is this what you really want?” She asked. I swallowed hard and nodded. She stood up and went over to my side.

“I think, instead of badgering the girls and boys for what they have done; we help them. It was a mistake and we need to help our children. Remember we knew this day was coming.” My mom was in denial. That’s why she’s being so nice. I felt horrible about this.

“Cassidy, Holly and Kat are pregnant too.” I whispered softly. I felt her arms tense around me. I could hear her wincing sobs quietly.

“Great minds think alike.” Yep she was going to either blow up or die. Gerard and Mikey’s mom looked at her boys with a shocked expression. She looked at Wren and I then nodded.

“Okay. Let’s help them.” She uttered with a painful tone.

-Later that day-

We’re meeting up to exchange what has happened with telling our families. Kat and Holly came in arms linked. Kat looked so happy, for someone who told the man she loved she is pregnant with his baby she looked extremely radiant. Holly looked saddened but rather happy. They both were bundled up since it was a chilling minus four plus the wind. Usually New Jersey is warmer but today it was chilling. Kat came in, in her really thick fake fur lined hoodie, a panda hat and bright red wool mittens. Her black hair stuck out under the hat. Her black jeans led down to her bright red converse. Holly waltzed in, in a nice long black jacket, wool mittens, light wash jeans and normal running shoes. Her blonde hair came down long on her. They both sat at our cafe table and smiled. Wren, Cassidy and I smiled back at them. Our conversations began. Kat smiled at me lively.

“I’ve got news, and I’m sure you’re going to be mad at me for agreeing to it but....” She led us on as she took off her mittens to reveal a silver band with a white jewel in the center. It was placed nicely on her ring finger. It took my breathe away. I was in awe. Cassidy and Wren gapped at the ring.

“Frank asked me to marry him.” Kat announced happily. I felt my heart drop. She was going to marry the guy who slept and knocked up her best friend? Well that’s more than I was expecting. I was expecting him to leave her high and dry. I was so proud of her. She was happy and that's all I care about. I smiled and clapped for her happiness. Then they went on to speak about making a baby vlog. So when the babies grow up they can watch it. Sounds like a good idea. At the end of every week we are going to sit down with the video camera and talk about how we’re feeling and what’s happened that week. That is a good idea. Maybe this wasn’t such a big mistake after all.
