Allie pulled the comb through her blonde hair. She couldn’t get what she had seen last night out of her head. Why was Julia leaving each night, and what was in the briefcase she returned with? As Allie pulled her hair back into a ponytail her thoughts continued to wander. She didn’t hear the creaking of the floor behind her until it was too late. The next thing she knew she was pinned in a bear hug by Lindsey.

“What are you thinking about?” Lindsey asked as she kissed the back of Allie’s neck. Allie’s entire body quickly responded to the tender kisses on the nape of her neck as she felt herself melting back into Lindsey’s arms. “Is it about me?”

“No, actually I was thinking about Julia.” Allie said letting it linger as a grin spread across her face. Lindsey caught on after a moment and smacked her with a pillow. “Jealous much?”

“I’m serious, what are you thinking about? You seem like you’re in another world.” Lindsey said, this time a little more forcefully, but with that hint of playfulness.

“Seriously I was thinking about her, but not in that way. I saw her climb out of her window last night and come back a few hours later with a briefcase that she didn’t have before.” Allie said as she lay her head back in Lindsey’s lap, letting Lindsey play with her hair. “It’s the second time I’ve see her sneak out. It’s got me very curious.”

Lindsey had stopped fidgeting with Allie’s hair and now had a confused look to match her girlfriend’s. “That is extremely odd. Do you think we should ask her about it?”

“I think we should wait it out first. But still, maybe we should keep a eye on our new friend.” Allie said letting her voice change to her Sherlock Holmes impression. “My dear Lindsey, it appears that we’re on the case.” Lindsey let out a giggle as she gave Allie a quick, but powerful kiss and they grabbed their books to head downstairs.

When the girls got to the kitchen they found Jamie sitting at the kitchen table and closing her cell phone. She had apparently just got off the phone with someone before they walked in. The two came in cheerfully, laughing and poking at each other, until they realized that Jamie was crying. Lindsey was the first to rush to her side.

“Sissy, what’s wrong?” Lindsey said as she put her arm around her older sister. Allie pulled up a chair beside of them and scooted in close.

“I just got off the phone with my doctor. I went in for a check-up a few days ago and all of my results came in this morning. According to what the doctor is seeing, I’m…pregnant.” Jamie said, choking up at the end and beginning to cry her eyes out all over again. Lindsey was in shock at the moment so Allie took up the responsibility of asking the necessary questions.

“Does Nick know yet?” Allie said as she gently rubbed Jamie’s back.

“No, I’m gonna call him after I calm down.”

“Are you gonna tell him on the phone, or get him to come over?” Allie said, thinking that it would probably be better in person.

“I’d rather do it in person, but first I need to get you girls to school, so I suppose I’m just gonna call him.” Jamie said as she started to pull herself together.

“We can walk to school if you wanna tell him to come over.” Lindsey said, finally recovering enough to join the conversation. Jamie looked at her for a moment before laughing and kissing her little sister’s forehead. “Sweetheart, it’s 8 miles. I think you’re gonna need a ride.”

Just then they heard a knock at the door. Allie walked to the front door and opened it to find Julia standing on the other side smiling happily. “Hey, you guys wanna ride to school?”

“Wow, talk about your plot device.” Allie said as she invited her in. “A ride would be great. I’ll tell Lindsey to grab her shit and we’ll go.” Lindsey and Allie each gave Jamie a kiss and grabbed their things. A few moment later they were in Julia’s car and driving off in the direction of the school. After a few minutes of silence, Julia spoke up.

“I know it’s none of my business, but what’s with all the gloom and doom?” Julia said as she bumped Allie’s shoulder with a smile.

“Lindsey’s sister thinks she might be pregnant, and is having a mini freak-out.” Allie said while pulling a pack of gum out of her bag and popping it in her mouth. Lindsey turned her head toward Allie and glared at her girlfriend in a way she never had before.

“How can you be so nonchalant about this? Jamie doesn’t have a clue what to do! She isn’t sure how Nick is going to take it! She doesn’t know if she can take care of a baby, on top of already having to take care of us! Don’t you have any sympathy!” Lindsey screamed before bursting into tears and turning away from the two in the front seat.

Allie didn’t know what to say. She did the only thing she knew how, she climbed into the back seat and put her arm around Lindsey. “I’m sorry, I know how you feel. I feel the same way, but I’m trying to look positive. If Jamie sees that we’re as worried as she is, she’s just going to feel worse. I’m not good at these situations. I’ve always been the funny one. When something bad happened, I always tried to make everyone laugh and forget about it, if just for a second.” Allie started to cry herself, but fought back the tears as she gently rocked Lindsey back and forth to console her.

A few moments later they noticed that Julia was pulling into McDonald’s. “I’m buying you guys breakfast and I won’t take no for an answer.”

“Lindsey, can we take her home with us?” Allie said as she grabbed Julia’s arm and started to playfully pull her towards the back seat.

Lindsey laughed, “Let go of her, you slut. You’ve already got a girlfriend.”

Julia surprised them when she gave just as much as she got, “It’s okay girls, you can share me. I don’t mind” She licked her lips seductively before bursting out laughing. The three of them ordered and then pulled around the corner to eat. Lindsey ran inside to fix her make-up after crying most of it off, leaving Julia and Allie sitting on the hood of the car.

“I’m sorry for bringing that up. I had no idea you guys would fight like that.” Julia said as placed her hand on Allie’s thigh. A gesture which did not go unnoticed by Allie.

“It’s alright, apparently that was just waiting to happen. Better on the way to school than in the middle of the hallway.” Allie thought maybe this was a good time to bring up what she had seen the past few nights, but decided it was best to ease into it. “Hey I wanted to ask you, I saw you climb out of your bedroom window last night. What was that about?”

Julia got visibly tense. “I had to meet a friend in the city. My dad would throw a fit if he knew I was leaving in the middle of the night, so I snuck out the window.”

She never looked Allie in the face as she said this. Allie knew that their probably was an element of truth to her story, but it was nowhere near complete. Before she could slowly sneak in a little more info, Lindsey came bounding out of the store bouncing like a child. She hopped up in between Julia and Allie and “accidentally” bumped into each of them giggling uncontrollably.

“What has you so happy?” Julia said as her and Allie squished her in between them and started tickling her. After she calmed down, she could talk.

“I was just flirting with this one guy by the drink machine, trying to get a rise out of him. I never realized how much fun it is to be a lesbian and fuck with people.” Both of the other girls looked at each other and nodded. They had been out longer than Lindsey and had made this realization long ago. Allie pinched Lindsey’s cheeks as Julia cooed, “ Awwww, wittle Widnsey’s gwowing up.”

Lindsey laughed and pushed them both away. “You two are too much alike.” Before Lindsey could say anything about the smile that she noticed her girlfriend and new friend exchange, they heard a noise behind them.

“Hey, beautiful. Why don’t you ride with us?” The guy that Lindsey had been flirting with, who had said his name was Chad, was walking toward them with two other guys. “Hey look boys, three chicks, three dudes. We’ve got the makings of a party here.

Julia raised her hand and said, “No thanks, Gay” Allie raised hers and said, “Ditto” She reached for Lindsey’s hand to pull her back towards her when the other guy grabbed and said, “That’s cool, as long as we’ve got you. Come on, Baby. We’ll drive you to school. Get you away from this Dykemobile.”

Lindsey started to protest when she saw a blur of black leather in front of her. The next thing she knew Chad was lying on the ground with Julia on top of him, a sliver switch-blade in her hand. “You best back off, little boy.”

The other two guys ran off back toward the building and Julia let Chad up to follow them. “Did he hurt you?” Julia asked as she closed the knife and slipped it into her pocket.

“No, I’m fine, thanks. We better get out of here.” Lindsey said as she threw away her trash and hopped into the car. Allie was the only one who seemed taken aback buy the fact that Julia had held a knife to that guys throat. She waited until they arrived at school and Julia had gone off to her locker before she pulled Lindsey to the side to talk.

“Don’t you find it a bit odd that Julia’s first reaction was to pull a knife on that guy? I mean, it’s illegal to have that at school anyway, but the fact that she was willing to use it so quickly.”

Lindsey just smiled and put her finger over Allie’s lips. “You’ve never lived in the city. I carried a can of Bear Mace in my purse every day until I moved down here. A knife is really the same thing. I don’t think she would have used it. She was just trying to scare the guy.”

Lindsey gave Allie a quick peck on the lips before taking off for her own locker. Allie watched her leave and then leaned against the door to the school. “I’m watching you Julia Andretti.”

-----------------L8r------------Jamie’s House------------------------

Jamie paced back and forth until Nick stood up from the couch and stopped her. He kissed her on the forehead and pulled her down to the couch with him. Neither said a word as they waited for the pregnancy test results to show. The minutes seemed like hours as Nick checked his watch every few seconds.

“It’s time.” He finally said as Jamie reached for the test sitting in the coffee table in front of them.

Jamie took a deep breath as she looked, grabbed Nick’s hand and said, “It’s positive.”
