MICKEY FINALLY CAUGHT Up to Adrian then cupped her face. Adrian's eyes looked anywhere but at Mickey's. How would she tell him Leslie Macher dropped the baby bomb on her? Mickey leaned down, planting a kiss on her cheek.

"What's going on?" Mickey questioned, letting his lips linger on her cheek.

Adrian sighed, looking up at Mickey, rubbing her thumbs over his hands. Mickey always knew how to calm down Adrian.

"You know Jolene Macher, right?" Adrian questioned, looking down at her boots.

Mickey nodded, making her look at him "Your roommate, the youngest Macher sibling?"

Adrian nodded her head, pecking his lips "Her sister, Leslie Macher came to visit me and she asked...she asked if you and I could take her unborn child.."

Mickey sighed, resting his chin on Adrian's head, wrapping his arms around her waist. Adrian wrapped her arms around Mickey's waist, sighing.

"I don't mind having a family with you, beautiful." Mickey kissed her forehead, rubbing her back.

Adrian smiled a bit, giggling. The pair joined the gang at a little area.

"OH MY GOD. This is huge." Randy looked over to the press conference.

Adrian wrapped her arms around Mickey's waist as he filmed the press conference. Amanda nudged Adrian, pointing to Gale Weathers.

"Your best friend." Amanda teased, looking over to Adrian, rolling her eyes.

Adrian stood up straight, looking over to Gale. Mickey rubbed her back, soothingly.

"Oh my God.." Adrian mumbled, looking at Mickey then Gale.

"Star of the Gale Weathers press conference, based on the book by Gale Weathers." Randy spoke up, looking over to Mickey.

"Soon to be a major motion picture starring Gale Weathers." Jolene rolled her eyes, looking at Adrian, giggling.

Sidney sighed, looking at Gale "Be kind. She saved our lives."

Adrian rolled her eyes, glaring at her sister "She also wrote the book on mom."

Amanda and Jolene giggled from behind Adrian. Adrian had a point.

"So, that's her?" Derek questioned, sitting next to Sidney.

Jolene sat next to Hallie, holding her hand. Adrian sat in Mickey's lap, sighing. Murphy and Lois came over to the group, looking at Adrian and Sidney. Oh boy.

"Hello, Sister Lois, Sister Murphy." Hallie greeted, standing up.

Adrian pinched the bridge of her nose in aggravation.

"Hello, pledge. Hi, Sidney, Adrian." Murphy smiled at the two siblings.

Adrian rolled her eyes, looking away from the two girls. Kiss asses.

"Hey." Sidney greeted, giving a fake smile.

"This must be flat-out hell for you. How are you holding up?" Murphy fake pouted, which annoyed Adrian greatly.

Adrian tilted her head, looking over to Murphy "We manage, Barbie."

Mickey looked away, trying to hide his smile. That's his girl.

"It's really weird, isn't it? To think this fuss is all because of you two!" Murphy threw her hands in the air.

Mickey and Amanda blocked Adrian from attacking Murphy. Murphy was pushing it.

"I mean not directly, but in some six-degrees-of-Kevin Bacon way." Murphy smiled at the two.

Adrian mentally cursed at Murphy.

"Now, Hallie, are you gonna bring your friends to our little martini mixer tonight?" Lois questioned, looking over to Sidney and Adrian.

"We have a lot of work to do." Adrian pursed her lips together, looking at Lois then Murphy.

"We'll be there." Hallie butted in, looking at Lois.

"Oh good, because, Sid, Dri. We have our eyes on you. You hang in there, and if there's anything we can do." Lois smiled at the two sisters.

"The Delta Lambdas are very sensitive to your plight." Murphy placed her hands on her chest then waved at Sidney and Adrian.

Adrian picked at her hands, looking over to Mickey "What's that look for?"

"The Delta Lambdas are the biggest bunch of fuckin'-" Mickey started, but got cut off by Hallie.

Jolene snickered, looking over to Hallie "Babe.."

"No, I got it. I'm pledging Delta Lambada, thank you." Hallie sassily replied to Mickey's comment.

Adrian and Sidney looked out into the distance seeing a figure searching around. Dewey.
