All of her family left and JJ stayed the night again after the party. He couldn't stop thinking about maisey and how her mom was going to affect her for the rest of her life. He felt bad but was helpless over the situation.

He fell asleep with Kie on the couch. She still wasn't feeling good and they both didn't know why. They just assumed it was something she had ate or some kind of stomach bug.

The next day they woke up and went to school and life went on as normal.

Pope updated everyone and told them that him and Cleo were starting to talk again and he was very excited about that.

After school, Kie got permission from her parents, and they all went over to the chateau to hang out.

"You want a beer?" JJ asked Kie from the fridge

"No thanks" Kie said, disgusted, while on the couch.

"Why not?" He asked, curiously

"Even just the thought of beer right now makes me want to throw up." Kie said

"You still don't feel good?" He asked, concerned as he made his way over to her.

She shook her head no

"Wait Kie, what's wrong?" Sarah asked, confused

"She's been sick for like a week now" JJ explained

"it's really been more than a week, but it just started to get worse" Kie added

Sarah looked at her a little scared. Then looked at JJ.

"Kie.. can I talk to you a sec?" Sarah asked casually gesturing to John bs room.

"Sure?" Kie got up and followed her, and so did JJ

"Not you" Sarah said, stopping JJ from going into his room

"What? Why not?"he asked, being nosey

"Because" sarah said, shutting the door in his face "girl stuff"

JJ rolled his eyes and went back into the living room with pope and John b.

"Kiara, please tell me you've started your period" Sarah said in a whisper as she looked at Kie with a serious face

"Not yet" Kie said "why?"

Sarah just looked at her

"Sarah, I'm not pregnant" Kie said, folding her arms.

"Your late, and your nauseous" Sarah listed "tell me that doesn't sound familiar"

"Sarah, there is no way I could be pregnant." Kie said. "We use condoms... usually"

"What do you mean, Usually?" Sarah said, her eyes widen

"I mean we've done it a couple times without them, but that was forever ago." Kie explained "I'm telling you Sarah, I'm NOT pregnant"

"Then why are you sick?" Sarah argued

"I dunno, sometimes people just feel sick. It doesn't always mean anything" Kie argued her accusation "and I'm feeling better now anyways, let's just go back out"

Sarah wasn't really done with the conversation but they went back into the living room anyways.

"What'd y'all talk about?" JJ asked Kie as soon as she came back in the living room

"Don't worry about it" she said and walked outside

He followed her and all the pogues went out to the dock to fish. JJ had a fishing pole in his hands and leaned on the side of the rail.

John b was also fishing on the other side, and pope was sitting on his phone texting cleo. Sarah and Kie sat on the dock, dangling there feet over the water.

John b felt a tug on his reel and started reeling a fish up. He struggled for a minute before getting it up and dropping it onto the dock.

Everyone congratulated the catch and JJ went to get pliers to get the hook out of its mouth.

Kie watched as the fish flopped around, splashing and getting dirt from the water everywhere. She covered her mouth as she gagged.

"That's disgusting" she said, queasy "I'm actually gonna throw up" she said to where only Sarah could hear her. Kie stood up and Sarah quickly stood up with her.

"I'm gonna puke" Kie said again as they started walking down the dock.

"That's not normal, Kie" Sarah said as if she was trying to get something through to her.

They started walking down the dock. Kie covering her mouth the whole time.

"JJ" Sarah hollered from halfway down the dock to get his attention off the fish "come here, now."

Kie didn't want to make it a big deal, but she didn't care in that moment. At that time she was just trying to keep her lunch down.

"What did you do?" John b teased, seeing that Sarah was a little mad

"I don't know" he said, confused and started following them.

He caught up with them and they headed inside.

"What's going on?" JJ asked "Kie are you sick again?"

"Ugh, You two are oblivious" Sarah scolded as they walked inside. Kie didn't say anything as she was trying not to throw up

"What?" JJ asked defensively

Sarah rolled her eyes and took Kie into the bathroom.

JJ waited by the bathroom door, cringing as he heard Kie throwing up. He felt bad for her.

After a minute, Sarah walked out of the bathroom and leaned on the door to talk to him. She gave him a mother-like look as if he were in trouble.

"What?" He asked since she wasn't talking.

"JJ" she said seriously "when's the last time you two had sex"

"Woah- that's a really weird question" JJ said almost as a joke

"JJ I'm being serious" she said

"Wait why?" He said, not joking anymore "what's going on"

"Kies been nauseous, she's late on her period, she's a little moody. Is this making sense?" She said, annoyed at how oblivious they were.

"Wait wait wait- hold on" JJ said, slowly closing his eyes for a minute as he thought. "What are you trying to say?"

"JJ, I think she's pregnant"

"PREG-" "shhshhhsh" Sarah cut him off, putting her hand over his mouth. She gave him an shocked and angry look, surprised he was dumb enough to say that out loud. She geustured over at John b and pope who were on the porch.

"Are you serious!?, shut up." She whispered, taking her hand away.

He looked at John b and pope and then grabbed Sarah's arm and led her into John bs room and shut the door.

"Pregnant? What do you mean pregnant??" He said in a hushed voice.

"JJ- think about it" Sarah argued "those are literally all of the symptoms"

"Sarah, we haven't had sex since forever ago - like spring break, forever ago" JJ argued, shaking his head "she can't be pregnant"

"She can still be pregnant. JJ, she hasn't had a period SINCE spring break" Sarah explained "think about it"

"But I-" he paused as if he was making sure no one was around "But I pulled out?!" He whispered like that was a legitimate argument

"That like- actually doesn't work!" Sarah said, giving him a dumb face "why wouldn't you use a condom?!"

"I didn't have any at the time!" he said, defensively

"Oh my god" she rolled her eyes and then covered her face with her hands.

"Sarah" JJ said, starting to pace as he put his hands on his head. "She can't be pregnant"

Sarah just looked at the ground as she thought

"Ohhh her dads gonna kill me" he said rubbing his face as he was stressed. "He's actually gonna fucking kill me"

"JJ it's fine, calm down" Sarah said, trying to help "look we'll get a test to make sure. Maybe she's not- I'm just saying, that it's definitely a possibility right now"

He took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Look- go to the store, and get a test" Sarah said "then we'll know"

"Sarah, she can't be pregnant" he said, almost light headed "we can't have a kid- no like really this can't happen"

"Jayj, listen." Sarah said, trying to calm him down "get the test, and then you can freak out. Alright? But right now it's not gonna help anything to stress over something we don't even know is true or not"

He took a deep breath and stopped aimlessly walking around the room. He sat on the bed and put his face in his hands.

"I can't be a dad, bro" JJ said, muffled by his hands

"Hey, it's gonna be okay" Sarah said before opening the door and leaving him in the room to have a moment to himself.

Sarah left the room to go check on Kie and JJ stayed back, trying to calm down. He was freaking out. He had no idea how he would raise a baby.

He left John bs room and came into the bathroom, slowly opening the door. He saw Kie sitting on the floor against the wall. They both looked at each other a little scared.

Sarah left, squeezing past him in the doorway as he came into a room of silence.

"You're not pregnant." He said as if he was trying to convince himself.

"I can't be" she said, matching his tone of denial.

"Look- I'm gonna go buy a test" JJ informed her "your gonna take it and it'll come back negative and then we can not worry about it anymore" he said, hopefully

"...JJ what if I am" Kie asked, scared.

"You can't be" he said, almost more as a question. "There's no way"

"JJ, that night during spring break" Kie reminded him

"Kie, I pulled out" he said

"JJ, that doesn't always work." she said.

"Your not pregnant" he said again, getting down to her level on the floor and grabbing her hand. "We're gonna take a test and it's going to be negative"

"..but what if I am?" She said softly. Her voice breaking as she was about to cry.

"If you are..." he thought for a second, holding her hand up to his chest "then we'll, figure it out" he said positively.

A few uncontrollable tears fell down Kies face and she started crying.

"Heyyy, hey hey" JJ said, wiping the tears off her cheeks with his thumbs and looking at her "it's okayyy" he reassured "it'll be fine"

"Yea- Unless I'm pregnant" she cried

"Look" he said, tilting her chin up so that she would look at him. Her sad red puffy eyes almost broke his heart. "no matter what happens, I promise we'll figure it out" he smiled. He was so positive and it was exactly what Kie needed.

She wiped her face rid of tears and collected herself. JJ stood up and offered his hand out to help her get up off the floor.

She gave him the realest smile she could give in a moment like that and took his hand and stood up.

She was so scared. She didn't know if he would be mad about it or what would happen if her parents found out. All the possibilities and scenarios were flying threw both of their heads and they were both terrified.

This would change everything. What would the pogues think? Her parents? His dad? They had no idea what to do. All they could do was hope and pray that she wasn't pregnant.
