Peta's POV
Sharna pulled up at the studio. She turned off the engine and looked at me. 'Peta talk to me please' Sharna whispered to me. I just climbed on her and cried. 'Why are you crying Peta? Talk to me please' Sharna said into my hair.
'Sharna, you were supposed to have the baby, you have been waiting for this for years. You have everything planned. I don't, I don't have the first clue about being a parent. I'm so scared about how Maks is going to react, how the producers are to react, how everyone is going to react. I've ruined everything Sharna, you should have a baby, not me!' I screamed into Sharna's chest.
'PETA JANE MURGATROYD STOP BEING SO SILLY!!! You deserve this more than anyone, Maks will be over the moon about this, the producers can stick it and who cares what everyone says!! This is you, Peta, you were made to be a mother and an amazing one you will be!! I am thrilled for you, I am going treat that child like it is my own. Don't cry Peta, it can have two mum's and two dad's because Val and I will treat the child as it's our own because we are family Peta. You will always have us, no matter what. I love you, Peta Jane Murgatroyd, never forget it.' Sharna tells me. I just hugged her, she's literally the bestest friend, my un-biological sister for life. She's all I need in a friend. 'Come on Peta, let's go inside' Sharna opens the door and lets me get out, Sharna follows. She pulls me into a hug and wipes away my tears. She grabs our bags and my hand and we walk inside.
As soon as we walk inside, Maks and Val run over to us and take us in their arms. 'Where have you guys been?' Maks says. 'Yeah. we've been worried sick' Val says. 'Can we go to an empty studio, it's not a good idea to this here' Sharna says pulling me to Studio C. The Chmerkovskiy's followed behind us. Sharna and I walk over to the steps and sit down. She holds me tight and gives me the box of tissues just in case. Val closed the door and walked over to us. 'Peta, what's going on?' Maks says bending down to her. 'Maks I'm pregnant.' I stutter out. Maks just falls into me, hugging me so hard. Val started jumping around saying woooo whilst crying. I felt Sharna get up and walk over to Val. I looked at them and they were hugging, she was in tears. I knew this was killing her but she was trying to be strong for me. Maks let me go and I got up. I ran over to Val and Sharna, engulfing them into a hug, saying sorry over and over again. Sharna started to say it will be ok like she said in the car. She's trying to be strong after what happened yesterday but it is killing her so so much. 'Sharna I love you' I say in her ear, 'I know you are hurting and I'm here for you, please don't suffer in silence. You mean the world to everyone in this room and everyone else in this building. You are strong and I am strong. Let's do this together Sharna, please.' Sharna looked at me with a smile on her face, 'Peta I would be lost without you and these two.' she laughed at me. We all let each other go and started to plan things for the baby. I will let her treated this baby like her own. But I'm still wondering what plan B is.
Maks and I got up and left to go and tell the producers so they could find someone to fill my spot.
*Sharna's POV*
Peta and Maks left. Val and I stayed in Studio C. I cleaned my face up and looked at Val. He was up to something, he had that look on his face. 'Whats that face for?' I questioned raising an eyebrow at his face. 'How did I end up with someone so perfect as you?' Val said walking over to me kissing my forehead. 'How did I end up so lucky is the real question' I replied with a smirk. 'Oh we going to be like that are we?' Val said with a smirk. 'Oh yeah, it is' I say walking away from him. And with that Val chases after me and throws me over his shoulder. 'Val put me down' I scream laughing at how silly he is being. He starts to walk towards the door, swinging it wide open and walking around the dance studio with me screaming at him to let me down. I love how stupid he is sometimes. Everyone was recording me on their insta stories and posting it on Facebook. 'Val put me down please, I beg' I said laughing. 'Ok that's fine by me' Val said laughing back. By now, we were outside, it was cold and I just wanted to go back in to dance. Val threw me down. Not on the ground, in the pond outside the studio. 'Valentin Aleksandrovich Chmerkovskiy, you are so freaking dead.' I got up and started to run after him. I chased him around the whole studio until Peta came out and grabbed me before I killed Val. She stood laughing at me, I was soaked. 'Let me at him Peta, he is so so dead' I said laughing in Peta's grasp. 'No, you are coming with me' she said pulling me into Studio A. 'No Peta, let me at him please' I said struggling in her grasp.
We got into Studio to see Maks and the producers staring at me. Val is all I said to them and then they nodded. 'So Sharna, Peta told us the news, we are so sorry to hear this' the producer tells me. 'Thank you, I'll be ok' I reply. 'We called you in here to help us pick a replacement for Peta. You say one name and then we will see if it matches what Peta says.' the producers tell me. 'JENNA PICK JENNA!!' I scream at them. They smiled and nodded, that means me and P picked the same person. They walked out and left us to it. Peta, Maks and I followed them and went and spoke to everyone. I went and got changed into a fresh pair of leggings and walked back to the season 23 cast. It was all the pros and troupe. I went over and joined in the conversation. I wasn't really paying attention until Val knocked me and whispered in my ear. 'I think we should tell them Shar' I looked at him and nodded.
'Erm guys, me and Val have something to tell you all' I begin to say with tears slowly falling down my face. 'As you all know I am pregnant. Well yesterday, Val and I went to the hospital because I was bleeding and my stomach was in major pain. So after hours of tests and needles, I am sad to say that I lost the baby.' By now tears were streaming down my face and Val was keeping me close. All the girls were crying and the boys were looking at us sympathetically. Jenna got up and hugged me tight and then I felt the rest of the girls follow suit and gave me a big group hug. We all had a big group cry and then I said 'Peta has some news yanno, something good.' The girls all removed themselves from me and looked at Peta. She just sat there smiling at us, so smiley it made me laugh. 'PETA WHAT IS IT??" Witney, Lindsay and Hayley screamed, smiling from ear to ear. 'Well since you asked and someone spoilt the surprise' Peta looked at me and I just smiled, 'I am pregnant, which means I won't be dancing this season so Jenna will be taking my place.' The girls all screamed and started jumping around and all the lads were clapping Maks. Everyone was so happy. Moments like this made my job so worth it. I'm gutted Peta won't be dancing but I'm so excited for this bundle of joy to come into the world. I could scream with happiness but the rest of the girls already burst my eardrums.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off mine and Peta's shoulders. I looked at Peta and Peta looked at me. I smiled and mouthed I loved her and she did the same back. She is the best friend I could never do without.
