She picked up the box the test came in and went over the instructions once more.
She turned to look at A.J., "Yep, blue I'm pregnant, pink I'm not."
"So, what's it say?" he asked.
"Geez...Oh wow....It's uh...blue," she smiled.
A.J. jumped up and hugged her, "Oh my God! I can't believe it!," he said then pulled back a little and looked at her, "I'm sorry, I didn't even ask. Are you okay with it?"
"Actually I'm too happy for words on the inside. I'm just too shocked to show it on the outside," she laughed nervously.
"Wow! I'm gonna be an uncle!" he exclaimed, "Better yet, a godfather," A.J. hinted.
"Lord! This baby isn't even born yet! I can see it now. All you guys fighting over who gets to be the godfather, this is going to be crazy," she said and shook her head.
"I can't wait to see Brian's expression! he's going to be doing cartwheels around the block!" A.J. said and started for the door.
Annie grabbed him by the collar, "Oh no you don't McLean! If you so much as breathe a word about this to Brian, I swear A.J. I'll personally come over your house and beat you down! I promise you won't be able to walk straight for weeks!" she warned and letting his collar go.
He put up his hands, "OK, ok! I get the picture. I see the mood swings are already in effect."
"Shut-up!" she said hitting him in the back of the head.
"OW!" A.J. yelped, rubbing his head, "Oh, now she's abusive!"
She raised her hand.
"OK! I'm sorry!"
"Better be," she mumbled putting on her shoes.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go out and get some air. And I want to think of how I'm going to tell Brian," she got up and stretched then put her hand on her stomach.
"I'm going to be a mommy. I mean think about it A.J., someone is going to be running around calling me...mommy!" she said in shock.
A.J. walked over and gave her a hug, "You'll be fine."
"Thanks," she whispered and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ann sweetie! I'm back!" They heard Brian yell from downstairs.
"Oh my God, how am I gonna tell Brian! I didn't think he'd be back this soon!" Annie panicked.
"Calm down, he doesn't need all that fancy stuff, just tell him," A.J. said.
"You act like you KNOW what I'm going through," she said.
"Yeah, yeah just go!" he said.
"Alright, no need to get pushy!"
A.J. looked at her.
"I'm going already! Sheesh!" she said before going downstairs.
"Hi Brian, did you have a nice day?" she asked hugging him.
"It was OK, you?"
"Um, I guess you could say I had a pretty good day," she said nervously.
"Well, what did you do?" he asked sitting on the couch and pulled her down next to him.
"OK, I woke up, took a shower, ate breakfast, talked to A.J., found out I was pregnant, talked to A.J. some more, ate a-"
"Whoa! What did you say?" Brian asked, confused.
"Um, I talked to A.J.?"
"Before that."
"Oh, I...uh...found out I was pregnant."
"You're not?" Brian asked shocked.
"Afraid so."
"You are!!!" he shouted hugging her.
"You're happy?" she asked, still a little uncertain.
"Am I happy? I just found out my wonderful, loving, caring, girlfriend is having OUR baby! Of course I'm not happy, I'm ecstatic!"
Annie didn't say anything while they embraced in a hug. Now they had all the love in the world, they felt safe in eachothers arms. All the love they had grew more in those 5 minutes that it ever could in a lifetime.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~A couple of days later~
"I love you," Brian kissed Annie, "and I love you," Brian said and kissed her bare midriff.
She giggled, "That's tickles, sweetie."
"Sorry, I just can't stop kissing your tummy," he looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
She smiled and sighed. They were at the beach. With much encouragement from Brian and the guys she got into a bathing suit. Everyone just decided to take a day oof...from everything. Everyone turned all their cell phones off and told their bosses not to expect them in for the day.
"Anybody want a sandwich while I'm going in the cooler?" Nick asked.
"Uh, yeah, get me a coke," Brian said and turned to Annie,"Want anything?"
"Um, is there any sandwiches?" she asked.
Nick looked through the cooler, "Yeah, PB+J."
"Nothing else?" she asked getting a disgusted look on her face.
"Nope, um there's grapes."
"What color?"
"Uh, the regular color, purple."
"Never mind forget it," she said waving her hand.
"Why don't you want them? Brian asked.
"They're purple. Jelly is purple and the grapes are purple. I don't want any purple food."
"Man, this pregnancy thing is weird, no purple food?"
"It's not weird!" she protested, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Aw, honey I'm sorry, " Brian laughed going to hug her.
"No, you're not!" she said her eyes watering over.
Brian panicked, "Oh honey! I'm sorry, don't cry!"
"I'm not crying!" she said, hugging Brian.
"You are, it's OK," he comforted her.
"I hate being pregnant!" she pouted staying in Brian's arms.
Brian laughed, "I know what would make you feel better," he said resting his chin on the top of her head.
"What?" she sniffled.
"Why don't you come with me to the charity concert tomorrow? I know you'll love it. We're performing and you're favorite singer is going to be there too."
She looked up at him, "Enrique?"
"Yep."
"I love you."
"Love you too Babe." He said.
"Hey B, what tapes did you bring?" Nick asked.
"Uh, look in my bag, there's a bunch in there," he looked in the direction of his white bookbag on the blanket.
Nick looked through it and pulled out a single tape, "There's only one in here dumbass! You forgot to bring music!"
"Well, Soorrryyy. Just put it in and see what's on it," Brian said still holding on to Annie.
"OK," Nick popped the tape in a pushed play.

I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world

Blared through the speakers and Annie jumped up and cut it off shaking.
"OMIGOD! They're here!" she whispered. Brian and Nick looked at her confused.
