*****Karen's POV*****

I wake up to Adan pacing the foot of the bed. It was like 6 o'clock in the morning and it was still a little dark. He noticed I woke up when he nervously looked at me and I said, "Babe? What is bothering you?" "Don't worry. Go back to sleep and I'll explain at breakfast. OK?" "No. I am wide awake an I can't go back to sleep. I am going to make some breakfast now so you can tell me whats up." I walked out of the bedroom in a baggy t-shirt to the kitchen.

I made the same breakfast as always. The mexican breakfast with eggs, squash, beans, and tortillas. I poured the food onto the plate from the pan and put it on the table. In a lazy manner, I plopped myself onto the couch and watched cartoons. Adan sat down at the table only to see one plate of food. He ate it and then asked me, "Hey, have you eaten anything?" "Nope" "Do you want me to make you something to eat?" "Nope. I got it." He watched me as I walked over to the fridge got some toast, the nuttella, the sugar, and some milk.

*****Adan's POV*****

I asked her, "Karen, are you sure that you don't want me to make you something to eat? " "No. I just finished making my breakfast. Look!" She showed me her creation. It was heavan for a sugar junkie. She sat down and poured some milk and when she reached for the "sugarwhich", I grabbed the plate and she pouted,"AAAAADDDDDDAAAAAAANNNNN!?! WTH THAT'S MY BREAKFAST!!!" "Really? Here let me have a taste." I winked at her, took a bite and spat it on the plate. "Yuck! This is  not breakfast! This has allot of sugar. Clearly if you take a bite of it you and the baby will get diabetes. I won't let you eat this." I threw it away and she hollered at me saying, "BUT ADAN!!!!! I CRAVE CHOCOLATE RIGHT NOW! I WANT SOMETHING SWEET!" "Did you just say crave? Is sugar gonna be your first craving?" I started to joke aroud with a smirk on my face. "WHAT NO! What I meant was that I miss chocolate and I really want some right now. This was not a craving." "Oh yes it w-" Karen grabbed me in a headlock and exclaimed,"WE WILL NOT SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN MR. ADAN KAUFMAN. UNDERSTOOD?!?" "Yes ma'am", I said so she could loosen her headlock grip. "Now if you want you may go ahead and make me some breakfast." I was a bit freaked out of what she did there. I made her some eggs with the leftover beans and heated up some tortillas. She ate it without feeling sick.

*****Karen's POV*****

I ate the breakfast in a bored fashion, but then I noticed that I was stuffing my mouth with the food. I caught Adan staring at me. I stared at him back and he motioned to me to clean my face. As I did so, he started to talk to me. "Karen? Have you thought of when your parents are coming back from vacation?" "Yeah. They are coming back on Friday and today is Sunday." He just looked and me and I gagged, "THEY ARE COMING HOME IN 5 DAYS! OMFG! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? THEY DON'T KNOW I'M PREGNANT!!! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!?!" "Babe, babe calm down. You know stress is bad. Don't worry. We can move out." "You are right. We should go apartment hunting."

15 minutes later, we are in the car and driving around. An apartment complex had a FOR RENT sign on it and we went to see the place. The rooms were beat up and outdated. The carpet was dirty and the blinds were super dusty. The rent was $900 per month. When we made eye contact, we agreed that that apartment was not a good place. With that we kept on searching. Within 10 minutes of leaving, we found an apartment complex that was having a grand opening. We walked up and were each given a paper. The paper showed that each apartment had 2 rooms, one bathroom, a small kitchen, no washer and dryer, and the rent was $600. Adan looked at me and asked,"Babe what do you think?" "Well, this apartment is close to the school and there is a landrymat and a mini mart next door. I like it." "If you like it and you are happy then I'm happy." He then bent down, kissed my flat tummy and stood up. Then he kissed me. "Karen. I just remembered that we have to aske our parents if we could move." "Oh Yeah. We might as well step outside and call." 

We stepped outside into the stairway and I dialed my mom's number. "Hello?" "Hey mom." "Hi mija! How are you?" "I'm doing fine ma. I just called to ask you a little question." "Oh Yeah? What is it?" "Ma? I was just wondering if I can move out into an apartment." "Oh. With who will you be living with?" "My friends of course!" I winked at Adan. "Well then let me ask your dad." 10 seconds passed. "Your dad says yes. Take care of yourself. I will miss you. Love you Mija" "Thanks! I love and will miss you all. Bye." "Bye."

Adan's turn and he dialed his home number. "Hello?" "Mom? It's me Adan." "This is dad." "Oh sorry dad. I just wanted to ask if I can move out." "Hmmmm. I'll pass you to your mom." "Mom?" "Hello? Who is this?" "Mom its me Adan." "OH ADAN! How is my baby boy doing?" "Mom I'm doing fine. I justed wanted to know if I can move out." OH! MY BABY IS TURNING INTO A MAN AND HIS MOVING OUT! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU BABY! Yes you can move out. Take care!" "Bye mom." "Bye!"

We celebrated, got the apartment and by Wednesday, everything was that belonged to us was out of each other's houses. Adan helped me get my stuff out and when he went to get his stuff, he would leave me home so his mom wouldn't find out of my pregnancy and also so I could organize the little things.

It was Wednesday afternoon when I turned on the radio. Adan had left to go get some frozen dinner meals. Katy Perry's "California Gurls" came on and I immediately grabbed my hairbrush and sang to it like a mic. "California girls we're unforgettable. Daisy Dukes bikinis on top. Sun-kissed skin so hot we'll melt your popsicle. Oooooh Oh Oooooh. California girls we're undeniable. Fine, fresh, fierce we got it on lock. West coast represent now put your hands up! Oooooh Oh Oooooh." The song ended and I pretended that there was an audience. I heard clapping and cheers, but the claps were louder than the cheers. I turned around and saw Adan with his phone taking a video. "What are you doing?!?" "Don't worry babe. I was just taking a video that I am gonna send to all the people we know." "NO!!!" We start to fight over the phone and I land on the bed with him over me. We start to make out and he asks, "You hungry?" "Yeah but all we have is cereal and we have no milk." "Ok. ", He rolled onto his back and sat up, "I will go to the mini mart and get a couple gallons of milk." "Ok.", I reply, but when he exited the apartment I remembered that we had no fridge. "Wait babe!", I exclaimed but it was too late.
