To say everyone was shocked to hear Abby's news was an understatement.

Lena practically had a minor panic attack, but soon calmed down and then went baby crazy, looking up different ideas for the baby on Pinterest.

Ian found it surprising, but didn't exactly care. He was happy that Abby was happy, and he congratulated her. Abby was only happy that Ian was now home, and could recover in the comfort of his true family.

James... he didn't take it that well at first. He even threatened to beat the crap out of Percy for getting Abby pregnant, but Abby and I both managed to calm him down and knock some sense into him.

Eventually, he said he was okay with it, but told us not to hold our breaths at the idea of him and Percy getting along any time soon. Especially after everything that he's done to James and I.

Abby assured everyone that Percy seems different, and wants to slowly build relationships with all of us. Of course, James didn't like that idea in the slightest. I'll have to do a little more convincing later.

Tonight is the Halloween dance.

James and I did manage to pick up last minute costumes, but we didn't have enough time to get the costumes we originally planned on. I suppose we can save Chucky and Tiffany for another year.

Ironically, we decided on mustard and ketchup, despite Abby's protests.

She actually decided to go, and went as a zombie. She even put her own little twist on it, painting a hole on her stomach and painting a zombie baby coming out of it. I guess that is her twisted way of telling everyone she's pregnant. Leave it to Abby to make it dark.

I'm not sure if Percy will be there, but if he does decide to go, I hope he at least proves that he's changed and acknowledges Abby's existence. After all, she is indirectly announcing their baby to the entire student body.

As the girls and I get ready at my house, we wait on Ian and James to show up because they're driving us to the dance.

"I can't believe you're going as ketchup." Abby sighs. "That is so basic."

"Well, you have to be basic when you go shopping for costumes literally last minute." I deadpan, applying some deep red lipstick to my lips. I also bought a red wig, which ties the outfit together quite well.

"And whose fault is that?"

"The universe." I shrug. "Anyway, Lena, get out here!" I shout toward the bathroom. I assume she's struggling to get into her cookie costume.

"Hang on!" We hear her shout from behind the door.

Numerous minutes go by, before the door opens and Lena walks out.

I snort while Abby laughs directly at Lena.

"Holy crap, you really are a cookie!" Abby laughs some more.

"I think you look very cute Lena." I grin.

"Oh I know I do. I'm not gonna let Abby ruin my fun." Lena smirks as she struts in her cookie costume. Chocolate chip cookie, to be exact.

"You look great honestly. Better than I do." I shrug with a laugh. "But nothing beats Abby's zombie makeup."

"Yes well, I am a professional." Abby says with an evil smile.
