"Howie, it's AJ" said Brian holding out the phone.

"I'm not ready to talk to him" said Howie.

"He's upset. He said something about Raine" said Brian.

"AJ, what's wrong" said Howie.

"She's gone Howie. I dropped her off. I took care of some things. When I came back she was gone. What am I going to do. I have to find her Howie" said AJ.

"Ok, calm down. Maybe she just went for a walk" said Howie.

"No man, she's gone" said AJ.

"Alright just stay put, I'll be right there" said Howie.

"Something wrong?" asked Brian.

"Raine, she's missing."

"Raine, who's Raine?" asked Brian.

"She's umm...It's a long story. You want to call the guys and tell them to meet us there" said Howie.

"Sure, you want to tell me what's going on."

"I'll explain on the way" said Howie.

This was all his fault. If he had just believed her she wouldn't have taken off. God, how many more lives was he going to screw up. Why, why did he sleep with her. He was gay for christ's sake. Sure he had been drunk but he couldn't use that as an excuse. He knew what he was doing. He let it happen. Now he had to make things right. He had to find her before it was too late.

"Ok, you want to explain" said Brian.

"Raine is the woman AJ cheated on me with" said Howie.

"Woman, but he's gay. Your not saying he's bi, are you" said Brian.

"He says he was drunk."

"Drunk, yeah. I think I would know the difference between a man and a woman" said Brian.

"So would I."

"Raine is the woman he slept with and she's missing. Why do I feel like I'm missing something here. Howie?"

"Raine is pregnant" said Howie.

"Ok, you just lost me completely. How about starting over from the beginning" said Brian.

"AJ slept with Raine. Two days ago Raine shows up here, pregnant. AJ left her home alone. Now she's missing" said Howie.

"Maybe we should check the bus station. She might try taking a bus" said Kevin.

"Howie, thank God your here. We can't find her" said AJ.

"Don't you think your over reacting. She probably just went for a walk" said Howie.

"A walk, she's been gone two hours. It's raining, it's almost dark. I'm telling you. I blew it she's gone" said AJ.

"Someone looking for me" said Raine.

"I don't believe this. We're have you been. We thought you had left" said AJ.

"Left, I went for a walk" said Raine.

"Your soaking wet" said AJ.

"Oh, yeah it kind of started raining" said Raine.

"What if you catch a cold, what if you get pneumonia. Do you even care what happens to this baby" said AJ angrily.

"AJ, not now. Why don't you step out on the porch with Nick and cool off" said Howie.

"I don't need to cool off" said AJ.

"Come on, I can tell you about the bet I lost today" said Nick.

"We need to get you into some dry clothes." said Howie.

"So, she's really pregnant with your child" said Nick.

"Yeah."

"I don't understand. You are gay, aren't you" said Nick.

"Yes, I'm gay" said AJ irritated.

"Then how, I mean."

"I really don't want to talk about it" said AJ.

"What are you going to do" said Nick.

"Oh, I don't know. I have a baby on the way I didn't ask for. The man who loves me walked out on me. I'd say it's just another screw up in the life of AJ Mclean. Isn't that what I'm known for, screwing up" said AJ.

"Sometimes, but your also known for bouncing back. Look at how you beat alcohol" said Nick.

"Yeah, I quit drinking just in time to see my life fall more apart than I ever thought it could" said AJ.

It's not the end of the world. You and Howie will be ok. And babies, their a good thing, right" said Nick.

"What do you know about babies."

"Their cute, their cuddly" said Nick.

"Their noisy, and demanding, and smelly" said AJ.

"You mean their just like you" said Nick smiling.

"I am not demanding. And I most certainly do not smell" said AJ.

"Yes you are, demanding that is" said Nick.

"When have I been demanding."

"Oh, I don't know. Try three weeks ago when you refused to eat unless we agreed to go to McDonalds" said Nick.

"I hate to leave but Kristen is going to be wondering where I am" said Kevin.

"It's ok, we'll be fine. If you need to leave too, it's ok" said Howie.

"Your going to say here" said Brian.

"Yeah."

"Did I hear you say your staying" said AJ.

"For tonight. I just want to make sure Raine's ok" said Howie.
