Kristins memories floated away when she saw Courtney waiting for answer she then said "What did you say Court ?"asked Kristin.

"I said you okay your smiling like your pregnant" said Courtney.

Kristin then looked up at Courtney and said "Well..actually I was gonna wait to tell everyone this but yes...Kev and me are expecting a baby" said Kristin.

Courtney's mouth dropped. She couldn't believe it, she always knew how Kristin and Kevin had always wanted a baby and they had their chance of having a baby. Courtney hugged Kristin and said "Oh my gosh now we all need is for Jennifer and Howie to have a child and everyone will be popping out with kids" said Courtney as she let go of Kristin.

Kristin smiled and said "Yeah I can finally be mom, this is something that Kev and I always wanted to do when we got married""Yeah well you both so do have a good chance of making that possible"said Courtney Oh Kris you and Kev are gonna love being parents..I mean it might have it faults ya know with you guys changing diapers and things like that, but it's all worth it" Courtney continued. Kristin then laughed some.

Before Kristin could say anything AJ came into the room. "Hey did someone say something about a baby..honey is there something that you would like to share with the class?" AJ asked placing his arms around his girlfriend.

Courtney place her hands on his and looked up into his eyes and said "Not me....but Kris might later on" AJ looked at Kristin and nodded his head.

"Well I can't wait for christmas to come then we all spend it together...but I know you and I later on can have our own little christmas with our little alex" said AJ smirking alittle. " Lil Alex ?, is that what our son is named?" asked Courtney.

"Yes" said AJ laughing.

"Well he does look like you baby" said Courtney.

"Well I can see that two are busy so I'll be outside helping the others with the decorations"said Kristin. AJ and Courtney nodded their heads. When Kristin was gone AJ turned and looked at Courtney, he held such passion in his eyes. He leanded down and kissed Courtney. Their lips touching one another, each of them breathing in so deep. Their love was deep and nothing could ruin their moment.

Outiside in the living room Crystal,Jennifer and Kristin were finishing up the decorations. "I can see that AJ came in and now is making out with Courtney, but what happened to the others?" asked Jennifer as she placed a couple of colorful balls onto the tree.

"I'm not sure" said Kristin "Yeah know it's kinds hot I need a cold breeze against my face" continued Kristin.

She opened up the door and the cold winter breeze flew in her face. Kristin closed her eyes and then out of nowhere something soft but in a way hard and very cold hit her in the face. When Kristin opened her eyes she saw Kevin laughing with other snowballs in his hands. Kristin smiled and laughed she grabbed her coat and headed outside.

She called out to Jennifer and Crystal to come outside to play. Jennifer put the decorations down and grabbed her coat and went outside as well. Crystal stayed inside. She really didn't feel like playing around.

Outside Nick saw her and his face grew even gloomier. He then went inside and sat next Crystal. He placed his arms around her. Nick kissed her on the forehead. Brian and Leighanne then walked in the cabin in their arms. Courtney and AJ ran over to their son and covered him with kisses and hugs. Crystal and Nick walked over to the twins and Shiane and gave them kisses and hugs. Crystal smiled alittle bit seeing her children's face smile.

For the first time Nick and Crystal smiled and laughed some. Leighanne and Brian smiled as well, they could tell that Nick and Crystal would open some. Things were going to be great. Outside Kevin and the others were throwing snow on each other, but they weren't playing a whole lot because they all had to be careful with the fact that Kristin was pregnant. None knew that Kristin was pregnant but Kevin protected her. After about an hour or so they all came inside ready for something hot to drink and something to eat. The kids sat on the floor playing with some toys.

Five minutes later Lil Alex began crying, Courtney knew it was time to feed him. Then Kylier and Kaylee began crying. Crystal sighed and picked up the twins, Courtney and Crystal went into two different rooms and feed their kids. Everyone held up a good conversation, Nick didn't really speak at the table.

After about a couple of hours or so Courtney and Crystal came back to the table and didn't really say much at the table. When everyone was finished eating and having something to eat. Crystal thought it was time to talk about the night JC rapped her. The guys watched over the kids while the girls went upstairs into a room of the cabin.

They all sat down waited for Crystal to speak up. "You guys I guess I've been kinda of a bitch lately" said Crystal quitely.

The girls looked at her in shock. Leighanne took her hand and said "No Crys..you were abused very badly by Joshua..you couldn't help it"

"I'm still hurting, I guess it's time for to really be opening by now"said Crystal. Her eyes began tearing up some.

"Crys...what Joshua did was fucking wrong,we all love you and we understood that you needed some space and wanted time alone...because it was like dealing with all of us then the kids and finally going through all that pain with the rape....I'm scared you guys I don't want him to come after to me again" said Crystal as tears ran down her face.

The girls all felt bad for Crystal."Joshua hurt me really badly and I couldn't shit about it...damn him..damn him fuck that son of a bitch!!!"said Crystal as she began crying really hard. She lay her head on Kristin's lap. Kristin began rubbing her head. "Crystal I'm truly sorry...if we could change time I know we would"said Kristin

"Of course it's all Courtney's fault"said Crystal. Courtney looked at Crystal in shock and said "How is it my fault Crys?" asked Courtney.

"First of all you were too involved with AJ to even be the least bit concerned about me"said Crystal snapping at her.

"Whatever Crystal first of all yeah AJ and I were making out some and then when were done and we came out of the room I saw you really upset and I tried to stop you and talk to you, but you just pushed me away how could I help you if you all you did was oush me...jesus Crystal" Courtney then got up from her seat and walked out of the room. Leighanne went after.

Jennifer then spoke up and said "Well all know how you feel Crys,but don't blame on this Courtney she really cares about you and it really hurting her all the pain you were going through and she couldn't get through to you" began Jennifer.

"She's your best friend Crys..she's trying ot be there for the best she can, we all are but she's doing the most"said Jennifer. "She's right Crys Courtney was always trying to talk you the entire timey you were isolated away from us...but she felt as if she wasn't getting through to you and seriously if you ask me that's truly a best friend...those times when she felt like giving up AJ told her not...Court knew AJ was right but you never talk to her and Courtney understood a whole lot so left you alone,even though it was hurting her so much inside to see bare all this pain inside of you"said Kristin.

Crystal felt terrible here her best friend was trying everything she could to help Crystal and here Crystal was bitching her best friend out.

Outside Courtney sat on the hallway couch and placed a hand on her head and sighed. She couldn't believe what Crystal had just said her. She knew was still hurting inside from the raping but it still never gave Crystal the right to be so terrible to Courtney when all she was trying to do was be a really good friend to Crystal and be there for her. Leighanne found Courtney on the couch looking really pissed in the face.

"Hey..."said Leighanne.

"Hi Leighanne" said Courtney

"Wanna talk?" asked Leighanne

"Not really I think you already have an idea of what is going on in mind"said Courtney

"Actually I might but not everything"said Leighanne.

" Look Leigh...Crystal is my best friend and I feel terrible of what happened to her that night at Kev's party,I mean just because AJ and I were together and having alittle fun doesn't mean she has to go off and bitch at me for trying to be with my boyfriend who I have a child with..it can't any worse...I know she's still grieving or whatever of what Joshua did to her but don't you think it's wrong for what she did" said Courtney.

"Yes I do....well thought it was alittle cruel...and honestly everything she saids I know she doesn't meant it,she's just hurting..something like her ex boyfriend raping her is scary and frankly it takes a while for anyone to get over that"said Leighanne.

"Yes..but I don't know too much on things like that cuz I've never been in that kind of position like Crystal has...so I don't know what else to say to her or do to help her"said Courtney getting alittle upset "The only thing we can do is be there for her and try to have a great Christmas"said Leighanne "Yeah I guess so" said Courtney. Leighanne smiled and hugged Courtney.

The two of them went back into the room and there was Crystal with that guilty look on her face. "Hey Court..I'm sorry I should've bitched at you like that.it was wrong..you've been there for me always, I could never lose your friendship"said Crystal.

"Neither could I..apology accepted" said Courtney as she and Crystal hugged each other. "And do whatever you want to AJ cuz he sure is lucky to have you..and Lil Alex is lucky to have mother as wonderful as you" said Crystal.

"Well the same goes for you...the twins and Shiane couldnt have such a wonderful mother and Nick oh man...you two are perfect for each other and I could never see an end to the two of you"said Courtney Christmas was wonderful time that month. The Backstreet Boys and their girlfriends celebrated Christmas. They all had the biggest dinner ever.

Everyone was full from all the food, the food was delicious. Kristin announced that she was pregnant and Leighanne did the same thing. Everyone was excited by the news and couldn't be even more happier. The kids were placed to bed. The whole gang stayed up late,but they baby intercom in order to keep a good eye on the kids just in case they started crying.
