Wildest Dreams

The Plan

Time for me to attempt a second chapter! Let me know what you think and if you find any mistakes! By the way, in this story her relationship with Christian never occurred.
————————————————————-

Stefani awoke in the middle of the night. It was pitch black and for a second she forgot where she was before remembering what had happened. Her face was tight and her eyes puffy from the dried tears that had fallen down her face the night before. Gathering herself up from the floor she was struck by a sudden dizziness, how long had it been since she'd last eaten something. After pausing to let it pass she made her way to the kitchen, pouring herself a bowl of fruity pebbles, and then another quickly following the first.

After her hunger was taken care of Stefani made her way into the living room, where she knew she left her phone. Collapsing onto the couch she dialed the one person she knew she could count on in this situation.

"Natali, i'm sorry for waking you. Can you please help me? I'll buy your plane ticket."

——————————————————

Natali arrived in LA early the next morning and hopped into the waiting rental car in her name. When her sister had called late last night she had not known what to think, frankly, she still did not know what to think. But if Stefani was calling asking for help then something must be drastically wrong. Her sister was fiercely independent and didn't take nobody's shit. When she finally beat the traffic and entered the gated community that her sister lived in a few hours later she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of help her sister needed from her that she could not get from the members of her team.

Parking her car outside Natali went to the front door and was shocked when the front door opened before she could even raise her hand to knock. Stefani stood before her, with red puffy eyes and crazy hair, looking so messy that Natali couldn't help but laugh and exclaim

"What the hell happened to you?!"

What she wasn't expecting however was for her sister to burst into tears. She quickly entered the house and hugged her sister tightly before leading her to the couch.

"Stefani,"

She said while giving her a hug and rubbing her back,

"What is going on?"

She watched as her sister tried to get her breathing under control in order to quiet her sobs and stop crying. Waiting patiently for a few minutes she debated asking the question again once Stefani had calmed down enough to speak but she did not have to,

"Natali.. I'm pregnant."

She whispered so quietly that Natali thought she had misheard.

"You're what?!"

"I'm. Pregnant. Knocked up. With child. Whatever you want to call it. I'm pregnant and he doesn't want me."

Stefani stayed before starting to softly cry again.

"I can't stay here anymore."

She said through her tears,

"I need to leave, there's too many memories, too many rumors swirling around. I have to disappear somewhere where nobody will recognize me and where I can stay away from him. Forever."

Natali inhaled deeply,

"Stef, surely there's been a misunderstanding. He wouldn't abandon you during a time like this?"

She questioned her sister with wide eyes.

"No. There is no mistake. He doesn't know. But he doesn't want me anyways. He told me that this was all a mistake, that being with me was "fun," but he HAS a family...."

Stefani accentuated the "has" hysterically.

"I should've known better. I've never been a cheater, I never wanted to cheat. But he told me he loved me. He told me that he was going to leave her. That they didn't care about each other anymore. And now here I am. I can't be a homewrecker Natali. I can't let them see me like this. But I can't bear to give up my baby. She's all I have left."

Natali was in shock. She stared wide eyed at her sister taking in everything that she had just said. This was not something she would have ever expected.. not even in her wildest dreams. Bradley Cooper had knocked up her sister and then left her heart broken for a women she had been sure he cared nothing about. She was not sure how long this had been going on for, but from the time she had spent around them she was sure it had been a while. The two had been comfortable around each other in a way she had never seen too people be and she had been sure they were soulmates. "That bastard.." she thought to herself, her heart went out to her sister and she knew that she would do anything to help her do whatever she needed to do.

"It's going to be okay Stefani. You are going to be okay.. both of you are."

She said reassuringly pulling Stefani into an even tighter hug. Murmuring in her ear she said,

"And you are going to be the best mother in the world. This child is going to be lucky to have you. How far along are you? Do you know?"

Stefani pulled back and wrung her hands, looking at the floor she responded,

"No. I haven't been to the doctor. But I've been sick for weeks. All day long. I'm gaining weight and all the tests I've taken are positive. I'm so scared that i won't be able to do this. That my body won't be able to handle it."

"Don't say that."

Natali stated sharply before gently reassuring her,

"You, my beautiful sister, are strong; you know what your body can and Cannot handle. We are going to have to be careful and you're going to need a lot of help but you can do this."

"Thank you. I love you so much. I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

Stefani said gently before exhaling loudly and letting herself fall backwards into the couch cushions.

"I need to plan and find a house. Will you help me? The fewer people who know about this the better."
