meadow felt what could only be described as fear build up in her throat as the phone rang, shifting uncomfortably. "mum?" she asked when the phone stopped ringing.
"meadow," rhianna hummed, "hello!"
"mum, i-i've gotta favor to a-ask you." meadow whispered, biting her lip tightly.
rhianna frowned, "what is it, baby?"
"can you t-take me to the doctor?" meadow asked quietly, getting up and playing with her fingers.
"why?" rhianna asked quickly, "are you hurt?"
"i think i'm pregnant."

rhianna grabbed meadow's arm when they got out of the car, just about dragging her into the hospital. "i swear to god, meadow lillie wilson, if you're fucking pregnant." she glared, meadow biting her lip tightly. "you're too damn young for this shit."
"p-phoenix and ro-rosa are pregnant." meadow whispered weakly, trying to defend herself.
"xina," rhianna started harshly, meadow glaring at her instantly, "is an unstable girl. she's got no business with a child. rosaleene's not much better, whole neighborhood knows about her temper."
"you've got no business talking about my friends like that, and if i am pregnant, you're not going to talk shit about it." meadow snapped, glaring at her mother. "you're either going to be happy for me and be a loving grandmother, or you're gonna get the fuck out of my, the baby, and zach's life."
"meadow wilson?" a doctor hummed, meadow getting up quickly and walking back to the office.
~
"well, congradulations, mrs. wilson." meadow sighed, sitting down next to her mother.
"oh thank the lord, you're not pregnant." rhianna sighed, nodding and getting up.
"you're gonna be a grandmother." meadow said simply, holding out the pregnancy test.
rhianna turned quickly, glaring at her daughter. "what the hell did you just say?"
"i'm pregnant, with child, in nine months i'll be a mother." meadow hummed, keeping the pregnancy test held out.
rhianna just glared at her daughter, huffing and turning. "just like your father," she snapped, walking out of the hospital quickly and getting in her car. she didn't even wait for meadow, just starting the car and driving home.
meadow let out a breath, her cheeky smirk falling right off her face as tears pricked at her eyes. she got up quickly, rushing to the hospital bathroom and grabbing her phone.

zach, halfway across the country, paused as his phone started ringing.
the interviewer stopped talking, all eyes turning to him.
"sorry," he whispered as he saw it was meadow calling, getting up and walking to the side. "hey, mea, what's up?"
meadow didn't say anything, just sniffling and wiping her eyes quickly, her breathing labored.
"mea?" he whispered quickly, jack coming over with a raised eyebrow.
"s-she's ma-mad at m-me, za-zach." meadow whimpered, curling up slightly. she knew it was v e r y unsanitary to be sitting on a public restroom floor, but she couldn't help it.
"who is, mea?" zach whispered, holding a finger up to jack.
"my mum."
"why's she mad?" zach furrowed his eyebrows, looking up. he'd always heard about how proud rhianna was of meadow, he couldn't think of why the woman would ever be mad at her.
"sh-she too-took me to th-the hosp-hospital today.." meadow whispered, opening her mouth to keep speaking before zach cut her off.
"why'd she take you to the hospital, are you hurt? are you alright?"
meadow sniffled, nodding even though he couldn't see it. "'m f-fine..i to-told he-her tha-that i thought i w-was pre-pregnant."
zach paused, his mouth opening slightly. he didn't say anything, just staring at jack.
"and sh-she got ma-mad..and she t-took me.." meadow continued, about to continue speaking before breaking into sobs.
"mea, mea, it's alright. i'm here, it's okay." zach whispered, biting his lip tightly.
"and now she's more ma-mad at me, because-" meadow paused, sniffling. "because i am."
zach didn't say anything for a moment, letting out a breath. "you are?"
meadow paused, shaking her head quickly, "f-fuck, you're ma-mad-"
"no-" zach shook his head quickly, "i'm not, i'm not mad. it's alright..you are?"
"i am."
zach smiled slowly, looking up at jack. "it's gonna be a boy."
"zach!" meadow groaned, wiping her eyes.
"fuck your mum, if she's not happy for you then she doesn't deserve to be in your life, or the baby's life." zach said simply.
meadow smiled softly, nodding. "t-thanks, za-zach."
"no problem, love. now stop crying and tell me where you're gonna be tonight."
"home," meadow whispered, slowly getting off the floor.
"i'll be there." zach smiled, "love you." he hummed.
"love you too."
zach hung up, looking up at jack and smiling brightly. "she's pregnant."
"she's pregnant?" corbyn asked, zach jumping slightly.
"she's pregnant." zach nodded.
"why're they all pregnant?" jonah huffed.
zach and jack turned to jonah, raising an eyebrow. "you gotta secret?"
"no- that's not what i meant."

meadow was, in fact, at home. she was eating icecream with rosa and phoenix, all three of them yelling about how much they hated her mum.
that was until mika came downstairs and yelled at them to stop yelling because they woke the twins up.
then they quietly talked about how much they hated meadow's mum.
until, of course, zach bursted through the doors with a big smile on his face.
"you look tired as hell," meadow hummed softly, holding her arms out as zach plopped down next to her.
"i am," he whispered, nuzzling into her neck.
meadow giggled, cuddling into his chest and closing her eyes. "then go to sleep."
"if you want me to," zach hummed, wrapping his arms around her waist and closing his eyes.
and about five minutes later, the two were asleep on the couch
