-It is a couple days after Becca took the pregnancy test. Connie and Shaylie are IMing back and forth.

------Shaylie---Where is Becca?
------Connie---She's here. She just doesn't want to talk.
------Shaylie--Why?
------Connie--I'll go get her.

-Connie goes to Becca's room and looks in. Becca is still in her bed even though it is noon.

-Connie-Shaylie wants to talk to you.

-Becca-No. I don't want to talk to anyone.

-Connie-Becca, you can't just hide from everyone.

-Becca-Oh yeah? What would you do? Prance around? Like nothing's wrong?

-Connie-*doesn't say anything*

-Becca-*sits up*-See? You don't even know!

-Connie-Oh well.

-Becca-Close the door when you leave.

-Connie-*outside the closed door*-Ok Miss Grouch. *she goes back to her room.*

------Connie--Shaylie, she's busy.
------Shaylie--Is she mad at me?
------Connie--Nooo...not you....not you at ALL.
------Shaylie--Oh no. What's wrong?
------Connie--Long story.
------Shaylie---I've got time.
------Connie-No, I shouldn't tell you. Becca would kill me.
------Shaylie--Come on, u & Becca r my best friends, if there is something wrong with Becca, shouldn't I kno?
------Connie--Okk..I'll tell you.

-Becca meanwhile starts to cry again. She has been so emotional lately. Feeling sad, hating herself, hating Joe, crying over Joe, hating him....it was a cycle. And she found she needed Joe more than ever.

-She hears a knock on her door, silence, another knock then the door opens and Joe comes in.

-Becca-*doesn't even comment on why he's there*-Please leave me alone.

-Joe-I don't think I should. We have to talk.

-Becca-Oh great.

-Joe-Becca, we really need to.

-Becca-Ok I'll tell you one thing. I took a test....Joe, it was positive.

-Joe-*takes breath*-I know....well...I didn't but I figured. We have to plan.

-Becca-I don't want to plan! I don't want this to be happening!

-Joe-Becca...

-Becca-Don't Becca me...you don't have to deal with this!

-Joe-Yeah...I do...I am part of this problem.

-Becca-*starts crying again, she stands up and goes to him*-Joe...

-Joe-Yeah?

-Becca-I'm scared.

-Joe-*hugs Becca and holds her there*-I'll be there.

*********************************************************

-Kevin who had driven Joe there, goes to Connie and asks her if she wants to hang out. Connie agrees and they leave and go to the movies. Connie finds that being this close to Kevin is nervewracking...but she likes it. In the movie, Kevin puts his arms around Connie's shoulders.

-Afterwards, they go to lunch at the Gazebo. It is a beautiful July day and there is a light breeze blowing through the trees near where Connie and Kevin are sitting.

-Connie-This has been fun.

-Kevin-Yeah...at least it's taking our minds off of....well....the problem.

-Connie-Why does Becca have to get dragged into everything ? Let's not talk about her right now.

-Kevin-Ok...so, let's talk about you and me.

-Connie-Sounds good to me. *smiles at Kevin.*

-Kevin-Well, you know our tour is almost over. And...

-Connie-And...?

-Kevin-*leans forward in his seat*-Connie will you go out with me?

-Connie-I..

-Kevin-Officially?

-Connie-YES!

-Kevin-*laughs*-Wow.

-Connie-Yes, yes yes. Oops...sorry..sounded desparate huh?

-Kevin-Just uh..just a little bit.

-Connie-Sorry.

-Kevin-Well that settles that.

-The day gets alot sunnier and more beautiful after that to Connie.
