" Sky, where's my hair brush?" Cara called. After announcing her pregnancy, she was quickly moved into a room with Sky. Natalie wound up sharing with Jane, and Nick was with Michael.
" On the counter." He walked into the bathroom, shirtless, which she enjoyed. Cara looked at the counter in front of her, and sure enough, her hair brush was sitting in the middle of it.
" Oh." She said blankly. He chuckled, working around her. She turned, looking at her baby bump that had grown significantly over the past month.
" Still hasn't quite struck me that we're having a kid." Sky commented.
" Yeah." She pulled her shirt over her stomach.
" So, boy or a girl?" He asked.
" I still say boy." She laughed.
" And I still think it's a girl." He smiled.
" Guess we'll wait and find out." She grinned.
" Guess so."
oOOo
" JoJo, you need to tell him." Josh chased her down the hall. It has been a week since she had taken the pregnancy test, and she still refused to tell Ben about it.
" What are you so afraid of?" He grabbed her arm.
" Everything. I'm afraid of everything." She stressed.
" JoJo, it's Ben." Josh deadpanned.
" No." She tried to get away from his grasp.
" If you don't tell Ben, I'm telling Bexley." Josh threatened. JoJo's eyes widened.
" You wouldn't." She gasped.
" Try me." He squinted.
oOOo
" Be careful today." Sky pressed a kiss to Cara's forehead.
" You act like she's going into battle." Kaylee, another violinist, commented as she passed.
" He always does this now." Cara shook her head.
" She's pregnant, not disabled." Bexley called from down the hall.
" I feel like privacy just doesn't exist." Sky sighed.
" Nope." Josh appeared beside them.
oOOo
" Girl or boy, place your bets now." Bexley called. After the show, the cast had a small baby shower in the practice room.
" I think it's a girl." Josh stated.
" No, definitely a boy." Bexley shook her head.
" Cara said it was a boy too." Sky called.
" Mother's intuition." Bexley and Cara said in sync.
" I'm team boy." Ben stated. JoJo drew closer to his side, uncharacteristically quiet.
" You good." He pressed a kiss behind her ear.
" Yeah." She flashed him a convincing smile. Except it wasn't convincing enough. Ben decided to let it go for the time being.
" Cara, you excited?" Natalie pulled her away from Sky and to the circle of girls.
" Very." She smiled brightly.
" So, who's next?" Cara asked.
" Funny, I'm already a mom." Bexley winked, walking off to talk to Jeff and Josh. Natalie got pulled away by Nick. Cara studied JoJo, who seemed utterly lost in thought.
" You okay?" Cara asked.
" Is it scary?" JoJo asked quietly.
" Pregnancy?" Cara knit her eyebrows.
" All of it." JoJo nodded.
" A little, but when you're surrounded by people you love, it's not that bad." Cara gave her a sympathetic smile. JoJo nodded.
oOOo
" Ben!" JoJo ran into their room.
" You okay, baby?" He looked up from his phone.
" I have something to tell you." She place a box in his hands.
" Okay?" He gave her an odd look.
" FREEZE!" She shouted before he could open it, nearly scaring him out of his skin. She ran over to prop up her phone, pressing the record button.
" Okay," she sat back down across from him," Now go."
He slowly opened the lid of the box. He looked between the box and JoJo about thirty times.
" I-I'm gonna be a dad?" His face broke into a grin as he saw the pregnancy test.
" Yeah." JoJo flooded with relief at the sight of his smile.
" I'm gonna be a dad!" He picked her up, spinning her around.
" So, you're happy?" She asked as he peppered kisses all over her face.
" So happy!" He beamed.
oOOo
" Guys!" Ben sprinted into the practice room. Everyone paused, waiting for him to continue.
" I'M GONNA BE A DAD!" He yelled.
" HOLY SHIT!" Sky yelled as everyone tackled Ben to the ground. The girls immediately went to JoJo.
" WAIT A MINUTE!" Bexley yelled, quieting everyone down.
" You knew?" She looked at Josh, who paled.
" Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run." Nick sang mockingly.
" I'm sorry." Josh squeaked.
" Uh-huh." She gave him a look that made him certain he was gonna pay for that later.
oOOo
" Ya know, if you get me pregnant, I'm breaking you." Natalie said in the middle of her's and Nick's make out session.
" Gee, thanks." He mumbled sarcastically, leaning down to kiss her again.
" Just saying." She laughed against his lips.
" PDA!" Michael yelled as he opened the door. Natalie shoved Nick off of her, causing him to land on the ground.
" Thank you, Michael." Nick said dryly from the floor.
" My room too." Michael threw a pillow at him.
" Hey Auzzie, got any marmite?" Natalie asked.
" Ya know you're not supposed to eat too much of that?" Michael laughed, tossing her the container and a package of cheddar cheese slices from his fridge.
" I can't believe you like that stuff." Nick wrinkled his nose.
" You just can't appreciate quality food." She shrugged.
oOOo
" Hey, Angel?" Josh said after Penny fell asleep.
" Yeah?" She glanced up from her book as Josh laid down beside her.
" Just checking, you're not pregnant, right?" He asked slowly.
" No, not that I know of." She laughed lightly.
" Okay, because, ya know, we didn't-"
" Use protection a few weeks ago?" She cocked an eyebrow.
" Yep." He nodded, throwing his arm over her waist. She put her book on the nightstand, switching off the light, and snuggling into his arms.
" I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant." She pressed a kiss to his lips.
" I mean, I certainly wouldn't be upset." He added.
" I know." Bexley smiled, lacing her fingers into his hair.
" I love you." He stated.
" I love you too."
