Chapter 24

Tiffany's View

3 Weeks Later

We're in Chicago right now and for some reason each day I keep getting sicker and sicker. Just this past week all I've been doing is throwing up and getting these weird cravings. Just the other day I asked Brian to make me a jelly, pickle and mustard sandwich. I know isn't that just gross! I couldn't help it though I was in the mood for jelly, pickles and mustard. You should've seen Brian face though! It was so funny! He stopped walking to the kitchen type room and turned to face me but he fell. He looked at me from the floor with this face saying 'what did you just say?! Are you nuts!?' I couldn't stop laughing for like a half an hour. Anyway like I was saying it's like I was preg…OH MY GOD! AM I PREGNANT! I started to panic. I can't be! Brian and I only had sex a couple times and we used…SHIT! WE DIDN'T USE PROTECTION! I need to go to a doctor to clear all this up! Maybe I just got the flu! Yeah that's it! I just have the flu! But I can't! I feel fine accept for in the mornings!

"Baby are you alright? You seem really stressed out," Brian said looking at me concerned.

"I…I'm fine! I was just thinking that's all!" I said looking at the TV in front of us.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Ummmmm, about…about… my family."

"You miss them don't you?"

"Yeah a lot."

"Do you want to go back to Colorado because the tour goes on for six more months?"

"No! I'm staying here! I miss them but I don't want to leave you."

"OK but if you change your mind just tell me?"

"I'll do that," I slightly smiled.

He smiled back and turned back to the TV throwing more M&M's in his mouth.

I need to make an appointment with a doctor. I looked around and found the yellow pages on the table next to the bed. I got up and walked over to it. I picked it up with Brian's cellular phone and went to the bathroom. I closed the door and sat on the toilet. I flipped through the pages until I found a hospital that was close by that I could go to. I dialed the number and waited, "St. Mary's Hospital, How can I help you?"

"Hi I was wondering if I could come over and get a pregnancy test?"

"Sure when would you like to come over?"

"Can I come over today?"

"Yes we aren't that busy so we can get you in here. When will I be expecting you?'"

"In 5 or 10 minutes."

"OK just come to the front desk and I'll get you set."

"Thank you so much!" I said pressing end on the phone.

I got up and came out of the bathroom. I put the yellow pages and Brian's cellular phone back to where I found them. I walked to Brian and said, "Bri? I'm going out for a walk and I won't be back for a while."

"OK have a nice time," he said smiling at me.

"I'll see you later," I said walking out the door.

"Bye!"

At the Hospital in a Room Waiting For the Doctor

"Hello Tiffany! I'm Doctor Marian and I understand you would like to be tested to see if you are pregnant."

"Yeah"

"So what are your symptoms?"

"For the past week I've been throwing up in the morning, I've been more emotional, and I get these really weird food cravings."

"OK! Now I just need a urine sample and we'll see!"

I did as she instructed and she told me that she would give me a call when she found out the results. I gave her Brian's cell phone number and went back to the hotel. I walked slowly into the room throwing my jacket onto the floor. I walked over to the bed to find a note. I picked it up and began reading it:

Princess,

The guys and I went down to play some basketball and if you want to come down and play then you can. AJ said he wanted to go clubbing tonight so you can get ready for that if you want to go and you don't want to play basketball with all of your sexy, muscular, fine men! I love you!

Hugs and lots and lots of KISSES!

Your baby duck,

Brian

I set the note down and sighed. I don't feel like getting all sweaty so I'll get ready to go clubbing. I walked over to my suitcase and opened it. I took out my black mini skirt and my red halter-top with my black clogs. I got dressed and put my hair half up in a butterfly clip. I curled my hair under and put some lip-gloss and some eye shadow on. An hour has gone by since I got back and Brain is still not back. I sat on the couch and turned the TV on. I turned to MTV and found Carson hosting TRL. He is fine! I love Carson! Well maybe not love him I just like the way he looks. He just announced the top video and it turned out to be none other then the Backstreet Boys 'Larger Than Life'. I love this video! I think it's their best yet but I have to admit that Brian kinda looks like he just got out of bed. I know it's mean but I think if I was there to do his hair and make up then it would have looked way better.

"I'm back!" Brian said running into the room.

"Hi!"

"Woah! You look good!"

"Thank you!"

"To good!"

I just laughed.

"Can I get a kiss because it's really hard not to take you right here and now!"

"If you weren't so sweaty I would but not right now."

He didn't say anything else. He ran to the shower and turned it on. In less then five minutes he was out and was putting his clothes on. After 5 minutes he was done and he came over and sat neat to me, "Now can I get my kiss?"

I kissed him on the lips lightly and went back to watching MTV.

"That's it!?"

"Yep!"

To tell you the truth I was uncomfortable knowing that a small baby might be growing inside me and if there wasn't then I didn't want to get Brian in the mood because I'm afraid to even have sex now.

"Why?"

"Because I don't fell like kissing," I simply said flipping through the channels.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No why?"

"Because ever since we started having sex you ignore me."

"I don't ignore you!"

"Practically!"

"Look I'm sorry! I've just been distracted."

"From what?"

"Umm…from not getting any sleep."

"You've been sleeping fine! Tiffany do you love me?

"Of course I do!"

"If you do you shouldn't keep any secrets from me."

"Right!"

"So just tell me what is wrong. I want you to be happy and if it's something that I did then I want to make it up to you."

"You didn't do anything. I just have to get used to this touring thing. It's new to me."

"OK thank you for telling me and you'll get used to it soon. I promise!"

He was leaning in to kiss me when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" I said slipping away from Brian. I opened the door to find all of the guys.

"Hey!" I said.

"Hey! Are you ready to go?" AJ asked. He was wearing a pair of black pants with a white shirt and red vest. Nick had on Khakis pants and a green T-shirt. Howie was wearing black pants and a blue sweater and Kevin was wearing Khakis pants with a purple silk button up shirt and Brian was wearing Khakis pants and a blue silk button up shirt.

"Yeah! Hey Brian we're leaving!"

"Let's go partay!" AJ said once Brian reached the door.

At the Club

Brian and I were on the dance floor doing some pretty good dancing to Jennifer Lopez's song 'Waiting for Tonight' the remix. During the song some girl tapped Brian on the shoulder. He turned around and he got wide eyed.

"SARA!" Brian said wrapping her in a hug.

"CHEESE BOY! I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU!" the girl said. Cheese boy? Where in the hell did she come up with that?

"Sweetie? Who is this?" I asked.

"Oh this is my ex and still friend Sara!"

"It's nice to meet you!" I said lifting my hand for a handshake.

"Yeah so any way how are you!?" She said ignoring me. What a Bitch!

"I'm fine! How are you?"

"I'm great! I moved here a couple years ago for a change of scenery."

"That's great! So do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope! I'm single!" she said smiling at him. UGH!!!!!! I don't even know this girl and I already hate her. Brian and her were talking about high school and about their friends. I walked off to the table where we were all sitting. I sat down next to Nick who was the only one at the table.

"Hey! Where did Bri go?"

"He's talking with an ex and a so called still friend."

"Are you talking about Sara?"

"How did you know?"

"Brian only has one ex who is still his friend and that would be Sara."

"That's nice!" I said sarcastically.

"You don't like her do you?"

"Nope!"

"Me neither so join the club!"

"Gladly so anyway what are you doing here not shaking that fine ass of yours?"

"I don't feel like dancing," he said simply.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I'm just going to sit here and enjoy the scenery."

"OK! I'm going to the bar. Do you want anything?"

"No I'm fine."

"I'll see you later then," I got up and headed to the bar. I sat myself down on a stool and waited for the bar tender to come over.

"HI! What can I give you?" the guy said.

I looked over at Brian and Sara who were now seated at a table for two talking. Sara's hand was over Brian's and she was giggling. I looked at the bartender and said looking at his name tag and then at his face, "Well Mark! Give me something strong!"

He gave me some kind of beer but I didn't bother to look to see what it was. I just started forcing down huge gulps. Damn! This stuff is strong! I soon finished it and asked to keep them coming. I was just getting down number 6 when Mark asked me what was wrong. I looked at him through blurred eyes and said with difficulty, "My Life!"

"What could possibly go wrong in such a beautiful girl's life?"

"First off my best friend is in love with me! I might be pregnant and my boyfriend is flirting with an ex!"

"Wow! I'm guessing you might want a couple more."

"Yep!"
