Chapter 35: Baby Baby Baby

Pauline almost spilled the water. "You're what?" she said and her eyes rolled. "I'm not sure if i am." Ava tried to answer calmy. "Ava are you sure about that? This is not fun." "Of course and is not fun Pauline. What are we going to do now?" Ava asked her best friend terified.

Taking some deep breaths she answered. "First, we must learn if you or not. If you're not we're great. But if you're we're fucked up." Pauline was sitting across from Ava. She was watching her cry. She stood up and walked to her side. "Shhh. It's okay, we'll get through this." Pauline said and pulled her in her arms.

"But what if i'm pregant? What Alex will say? What my Dad will say? He will regret that he took me from LA because if i was there nothing of this will ever happend. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Ava said crying and buried her head in Pauline's sholder. "Ava that's not true. Richie loves you and he will never say that no matter what will happend." Pauline answered to her.

"He will not want to see me again. I don't want this to happen." "Nothing will happend Ava. Just don't rush things. Let's take a step at a time okay?" Pauline told her but Ava wasn't looking at her. "Ava look at me." she said and faced Ava's watered eyes. "Nothing of these will ever happend okay? We have to make sure that you're pregant with Alex's baby. Is Alex's right?" "Pauline what are you talking about? Of course and is Alex's." Ava answered.

"Alright. Do you want to tell him?" Pauline asked. "Yes. He has the right to know if he will be the father of my child or not." Ava answered and wipped the tears from her eyes. "Okay. I'll let him know tommorow at school." Pauline answered and stood up and sut on her chair next to Ava.

"How does he doing?" "Not too good. Since you left, he's not himself. Zack never saw him like this before. We don't know what to do. He's always asking me how are you doing." "Tell him i'm fine and i can't wait to get the Hell out of this fucking place." Ava answered. "Okay. I'll tell him." Pauline replied and looked the time at her phone.

"Look princess i have to leave you now. I'll come here tommorow with a pregnancy test." she paused for a second and looked at Ava. "You sure about that? We can wait a little more if you want." "No the sooner we know the better." Ava answered.

Pauline stood up from the chair while she said "Okay. See ya tommorow." "Pauline, please don't say Dad anything about it. Just give him the letter and leave okay?" "That was what i was going to do. I'm not sure if can i see him in the eyes right now." Pauline answered to Ava. Ava shaked her head and answered "Thank you." "Samboras have it with thank you these days. Anyway i have a letter to deliver. See you tommorow Ava. Sleep well." Pauline said and walked away. "You too Pauline." Ava answered from behind.

Pauline walked back to her car. She opened the door and sut on the driver's seat. She couldn't believe that Ava might be pregnant. Her mind couldn't prosses her words. At first she thought that Ava was lying to her. But how she could ever say such a lie and what will be the point of it. She knew that Ava was saying the truth.

What are they going to do now? They are alone at this fight. Pauline must tell Alex was is going with Ava.She can imagine his reaction but she must do what Ava asked her to do. But first she has to do something else first. She must give Richie the letter. She must pretend that nothing is going on. She hates when she lies to people she loves and care. But she can't do nothing to change that. Is better that way, at least for now.

She doesn't even want to cross her mind that Ava is pregnant. Her life will change forever and nothing will be the same after that. She doesn't want to think that option at all.

With her thoughts all over her mind Pauline reached one more time the Sambora house. She rung the bell and waited for someone to answer it. She faced the happy Richie's face. This is going to be harder than she thought.

"You brought it?" he asked. "Yeah, i brought it." Pauline answered and smiled at him. She must act natural. "Come in Angel." Richie told her whule the smile never leaving his face. Pauline walked in and closed the door behind her. She put the letter from her jean pockets and passed it to Richie.

"Here you go King." "Thank you Angel." Richie answered and nodded. "Do you want something to drink or to eat?" "No, thank you. I must go to the trainning. You know with all these happening i wasn't able to go." Pauline answered. She knew that the longer she stays here the more dificult will be for her.

"Sure. But can i tell you something first?" Richie asked. "Yeah, sure what it is?" "Look, the court day is on 15th of January and i was hoping if you could testify in the court in my favour." Richie said to her hoping and begging that she will agree.

"Yeah, i can do that but you must ask my parents first." Pauline answered more than suprised to him. "I already told them and they say is up to you." "You told them all?" Pauline asked with rolled eyes. "I didn't have any choise. They weren't going to believe me if i wasn't tell them the truth." "And they believed you?" Pauline asked.

"Yeah, they did. So is up to you if you want to testify. Look Angel i will not try to convinse you i never done that before and i won't do it now. I know that these are too much for you. And i will respect if you don't want to get involved." Richie told her while he was looking in her eyes.

Pauline's breath caught on her throat. Damn him. Why he has to do that with his eyes? She told herself. It was a weird moment for her. "If i testify in the court will help you take full castody of Ava?" she asked him suddenly. "If they believe what are you saying, you will." "And who else is going to testify?" "My Mum, Jon and you if you want to." Richie answered hoping she will say yes.

Pauline's mind was running in top speed. If she testifies in the court everybody will know what Heather was planning to do to Richie. She knew if she say that Heather will be behind bars for a very long time. But on the other hand who will beliebe a 17 year old girl? She must answer to him.

"I'll do it." "Really?" Richie asked happily, he wanted to hear it again. "Yes." Richie couldn't hide his smile or how happy he was right now. He hugged her tight, he almost caught her breath, but she didn't care she knew she was doing the right thing.

"I don't know what to say that day." "Don't worry about that. We'll meet on Monday afternoon in Jon's house to talk about that. Can you be there?" "Sure and i will be." "Great. And thank you again, Angel. You know i was right calling you Angel that day in the hospital." Richie said and smiled. "You know i'm not always the Angel you think, i can be Devil if you make me." Pauline answered and left him puzzled.

"What that supposed to mean?" Richie answered from behind. "Nothing. Just remember that don't mess with people i love. That doesn't goes to you but i want you to remember this, okay?" Pauline gave him a little warming of what is going to happen next. But will Richie be able to understand what she is saying?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday morning at school pauline rtying to find Alex. It was the time to tell him what is going on. Pauline was looking around at the cafeteria but he wasn't there. Then she remembered where he and his friends were hanging out. She went there and found him sitting on the bench.

She walked closer to him and his friends and said "Hey Alex can i talk to you? Is important." "Yeah, sure." Alex answered and excuse himself from his friends and follwed Pauline to an nother bench for away.

Pauline sut on the bench and Alex followed her. "So, what to do you want to talk about?" he asked when he sut. "I visited Ava yesterday." she started. "How is she?" he asked. "I want you to stay calm." "Pauline what is it. Tell me, i'm worried." "There is nothing to worry about exept one thing." she paused and took a deep breath. "Exept what?" "You might going to be a dad." she told him.

"What?" Alex almost yelled. "Ava is pregnant?" "We're not sure yet. We're going to find out today." Pauline tried to answer as calm as she could. Alex was running his fingers throught his hair. "This is not happening. This is not happening." "Alex we don't know if she is, maybe she is not." "And what if she is?" Alex asked her. "Alex let's find it out first and then we'll see what we can do." Pauline answered to Alex.

"Okay. She'll do the test today?" "The sooner we know the better. I'll let you know when we know okay?" Pauline said and stood up "Where are you going?" "I have a pregnancy test to buy Alex. Do you think it will be easy for me to go and buy it?" "Yeah, you're right. Don't forget to tell me, please." "I won't. Keep the faith okay? I'll text you." Pauline told him and walked away.

Going to school was the last thing she wanted to do right now. She went to her locker and took her bag with her. She left school in a hurry, she didn't want to be seen by anyone. She arrived at the car and drove away as fast as she could.

She is now outside of the drug store more than 30 minutes. She couldn't understand why she was so nervous about it. A pregnancy test is what she wants not cocain. But it still hard for her, but she must go and take it. Taking a deep breath she opened the door of the car and walked in the drug store.

Five minutes later she walked out relaxed and with a pregnacy test on the little bag. It wasn't that ahrd as she thought it would be. She got what she wanted and that is what that matters. Pauline out on the engine and drove away.

She arrived in Ava a few minutes later. She hide the pregnancy test in her jacket and walked to the building. As she was walking in she saw Ava sitting on a bench, she smiled and walked to her side.

"Hey, Ava." Pauline said. Ava lifted her head and faced Pauline. "I got it, are you ready?" "Yes, let's do this fucking test." Ava said confident and stood up from the bench. "Since when you start cursing?" Pauline asked suprised, she wasn't get used to Ava saying bad words. "Since i came to this fucking place. Now, give it to me." Ava said and held out her hand. "Are you nuts? In the middle of the garden? Let's go ot the restrooms." "Yeah, you're right. Let's go." Ava answered and lead the way to the restroom.

"Okay, i can't wait anymore. Give it to me." Ava said as she locked the door. Pauline pulled it out from her jacket. "Here you go." she gave it to her. "Did you tell Alex?" "Yes, two hours ago." "How he reacted?" "Better than i though he will. He's very worried about you. Oh and by the way the court day is on 15th." "On January?" Ava asked and eyes rolled.

"Yes, and guess who is going to testify?" "You are going to testify?" Ava asked more suprised than before. "Yeah, he asked it from me and i couldn't say no for many reasons. But i don't want to talk about it in the restrooms with the pregnancy test in your hands." Pauline replied and pointed the test. "I think you should go. It's time."

Ava nodded and walked in the toilet. The minutes she was there seems like forever to Pauline. The door opened and Ava walked out. "You did it?" "Yes. We must wait 10 minutes. One line negative, two lines positive." she explained and left in on the sink.

Pauline took a look at her, she was so scared. "Ava are you okay?" "I'm so scared, Pauline." she said and hugged her best friend tight. "Everything is going to be fine. You'll see it with your own eyes." "I hope you're right. I don't want to be pregnant, not now, not like this." "Trust me Ava, no one does." "Is it ready?" Ava asked and broke the hug.

Pauline looked at it and answered "Not yet." Ava sighed. The two girls were walking up and down to the rest room for the next 8 minutes. It was time to see. "Pauline could you please tell me what it is. I can't looked it." Pauline nodded her head. She understands Ava's situation.

She walked to the sink and took it in her hands. Eyes closed and a heart ready to break. It might is negative. It has to be negative. With a deep breath Pauline opened her eyes and faced the result. Holding it in her hands she turned to Ava.

"What is it? Am i pregnant?" she asked. Pauline couldn't answer and she gave it to Ava.

Reaching for her phone she texted to Alex.

She is not pregnant.
