Amanda lay on the bed listening to her discman when AJ walked into the room. "Hey baby," Amanda said as she took off her headphones.

"Hi," AJ said as he laid on the bed next to her. He let out an exhausted sigh. "I'm beat," AJ said as he slipped off his shoes.

Amanda smiled and set her discman aside. "Aww is my poor baby tired?"

"More than you will ever know," AJ said as he shut his eyes.

Amanda lightly caressed his cheek and slid her fingers through his freshly bleached blonde hair. "I suppose we're staying in tonight?"

AJ nodded. "I would love to go out but I'm way too tired. I need sleep."

"That's okay. You've worked hard. You deserve sleep," she said as she kissed him on forehead. "You better get out of your clothes before you fall asleep honey."

AJ grinned. "I'm too tired to take them off."

"Don't even think you're gonna con me into taking your clothes off for you. I'm too big and pregnant for that. If you wanna sleep in your clothes go right ahead. I'll have no sympathy for you."

AJ laughed and sat up. "You're so cute when you're insincere."

"Well you're cute period," Amanda replied then kissed him.

"You sure you don't wanna help me?" AJ asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Well....I'll take off your shirt but don't even think about asking me to undo your pants. Ask me again in three months."

"My god three months?" AJ said in astonishment. Amanda nodded with a smile. "Time flew by so fast," he said as he caressed her stomach. AJ let out a big yawn.

"All right, you're getting into bed. You're about to fall asleep," Amanda said as she pulled AJ's shirt off him and kissed him. AJ took off his pants and slid under the covers with Amanda. She kissed him lightly on the lips. "Sleep well baby," she whispered. AJ smiled and closed his eyes. Amanda admired him as he slowly fell to sleep. She was almost asleep herself when she heard a light tapping on the door. Carefully she crept out of bed and went to answer the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw Sarah standing outside the door. Amanda opened the door to see Sarah standing there with swollen eyes and a tear stained face.

"I'm sorry I didn't wake you did I?"

"No, no not at all. I was just laying in bed with AJ," Amanda said in a hoarse whisper. "What's wrong?"

"I know it's late but I really need someone to talk to. Everyone else is either out or already in bed. Do you think we could talk?"

"Oh yeah of course. Come on in. Let me change my clothes and we can go down to the lobby and talk," she said as she invited Sarah in. Amanda quickly changed out of her night shirt and into regular clothes. After writing AJ a note she grabbed her key and walked toward the door. "Okay let's go," she whispered. The two girls walked down to the lobby and sat down on one of the couches. "All right tell me what's going on," Amanda said gently.

Sarah let out a deep breath and looked Amanda in the eye. "I'm pregnant," she said.

Amanda sat in shock for a moment then spoke. "Are...are you sure?"

Sarah nodded. "Kristin took me to the doctor earlier today to make sure. I'm positive."

"How does Kevin feel about all of this?"

"He doesn't know yet," Sarah mumbled.

"What!?! You haven't told him!?!?! Honey you have to tell him. How far along are you?"

"Barely a month," Sarah said then let out a sob. "Oh god I don't know what to do. I have always wanted a child but I don't wanna lose Kevin. I love him. If I lost him I would be crushed."

"Lose him? Honey what are you talking about?"

"He's gonna hate me when he finds out I'm pregnant with his child. He already has so much going on in his life. This would just add on so much!"

"Oh girl he's not gonna hate you. I promise. Kevin has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. I've known him for years and he's never been known to give up the ones he loves. I know he loves you with all his heart and there's no way he's gonna let you go. Pregnant or not he's still going to love you."

"You really think so?" Sarah said with a sniffle.

Amanda gave her a sincere smile. "I know so. He's not like that jerk Keith you were with before. This is Kevin. There's no one out there like him. He won't give up on you."

"Thanks I feel a lot better."

"Good," Amanda said. "Now give me a hug." Sarah reached over and hugged Amanda. "I also want you to know that I'm always here if you ever need to talk. You're my friend and I'm always there for my friends. Okay?" Sarah nodded. "Aww honey look at you you're a mess," she said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. "Don't cry everything is going to be okay."

"I still don't know how I'm going to tell him."

Amanda thought for a moment. "Wait a few days. Wait until after Thanksgiving. The boys have a heavy schedule and this will be too big of a distraction right now. But you have to promise me you'll tell him soon."

Sarah nodded. "I promise."

"Good."

"Gosh in just a few short months I'm going to be as big as you," Sarah said, admiring Amanda's stomachs. "Can...can I touch it?" Amanda smiled and placed Sarah's hand on her stomach. "Oh wow I can feel it kicking. Does it hurt?"

"Sometimes but not too bad. It's really a good feeling."

"I guess things happen for a reason huh."

Amanda smiled in agreement. "Yeah....come on it's late and we need sleep. Do you feel better now?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Good I'm glad I could help," she said as they walked back to their rooms.

When they arrived Kevin was standing outside his and Sarah's room. His eyes filled with worry when he noticed Sarah's tear stained face. "Sarah you all right?"

"She's fine," Amanda answered for her. "She was feeling a little ill so we went down to the lobby and got her some ginger ale."

"Speaking of feeling ill....exscuse me," Sarah said as she rushed into the room.

Kevin gave Amanda a look of confusion. "You sure she's okay? She's been like this all day."

Amanda smiled. "Don't worry she'll be fine. She just needs some sleep. Go take care of her."

"I will. Good night," Kevin said as he walked into the room.

"Night," Amanda replied and quietly went to her own room. AJ was still soundly asleep. Amanda got into bed with him and cuddled up closely. "Three more months," she whispered then drifted off to sleep.
