~* Kyle *~
It's almost nerve wracking this silence that strechtes between Tess and me as we head to school. We walk to our lockers and then to homeroom like we do everyday but this time the tension rolls of us.
When Tess slips her hand in mine, I startle slightly but then she says in a wavering voice, "Kyle..."
then she makes a run towards the bathroom and I know immediatly that she's feeling sick. I run after her and am about to barge in after he into the bathroom when I realize that I can't go into theg girls' bathroom. Cursing, I glance around, trying to see if I can slip in.
But just then Max appeards behind me, having seen Tess run inside. "Is she okay?" He asks with concern. I bite back the urge to snap at him, reminding myself that he has a right to be here, to ask about Tess.
"I think it's morning sickness." I say instead. "She was fine a while ago though." I look towards the door again, fighting the urge to go in. "Damn it! I should go in, see if she's okay."

Isabel
After arriving to the school and chatting for a bit with a few of the girls, I decided to touch up my make-up and hair before class actually started. Making my way into the bathroom, I stood before the mirror and was doing just that when I heard the door open and looked to see that it was Tess.
I was hard pressed not to make a rude comment, but I had decided that for my brothers sake, I would be civil. Not to mention, she had been a friend to me before and I couldn't let the fact that she was now carrying my brother's child cause things to be taken out of hand. I was surprised to see her in here, but she seemed equally surprised and though she looked like she wanted to say something, she ended up running for the stall.
I couldn't hold back a slight smile at her discomfort, but then a wave of guilt washed over me and I went to stand at the door. I was done with my touch ups anyway. "Tess, is there anything I can do to help you?" I asked her, surprised that I really sounded concerned for her.

I am glad my face is hidden by the toilet bowl as Isabel asks to help. I would have felt so rude if she had seen the surprise there and the look of disbelief I think to myself, chiding myself for the last thought even as I think it.
I stand slowly wiping my mouth with tissue and moving past her towards the sink.
I give her a tentative smile. 'No thanks Isabel, I think I'm fine now. I must have eaten something funny cause all of a sudden I felt really sick. Its over now though. Kyle must think I'm pretty crazy though, we were walking to class and I just took off. Its funny cause I never get sick. I wonder what it was?'

Morning sickness, I think with a frown. It's just the beginning of all the things that will be happening to Tess because she's pregnant. Pregnant with my baby.
"Damn it! I should go in, see if she's okay," Kyle says, sounding undercertain.
"Yeah," I agree slowly. Someone should check on her. "But it's the girl's toilet." I bite my lip, hesitating for just a moment. If she's sick, I can help her. Especially now. She's done so much for me and the two of us are together now, just like it's supposed to be.
I step forward and tentatively knock on the door. "Tess, are you okay? It's Max. Can I come in there?"

Isabel frowns and looks about to reply when there is a knock on the door.
"Tess, are you okay? It's Max. Can I come in there?"
Unsure how to respond I look to Isabel who simply raises her eyebrows.
'Umm, sure Max. There isn't anyone else in here. Come in'
As Max pushes the door open slowly I realise I forgot to mention Isabel, and as he comes face to face with his sister I realise that might have been a mistake.

When Tess gives the all-clear, I push the door open and go inside. I keep my hand on the door as it shuts, ready to seal it shut so no other girls can come in while I'm here with Tess. But before I even start, I realize that Tess isn't alone.
"Hey, Isabel," I say, trying to sound normal. We still hadn't had a chance to talk like she said she wanted to last night and I don't know what she's feeling. I hope she hasn't been continuing to ignore Tess, although I guess that would be preferable to unkind words. Isabel is the queen of the cutting remark.
I decide I still don't want any other girls to come in to catch me in their toilet, so I use a bit of power to seal the door, anyway. Isabel can still open it herself if she was about to leave.
I take a step towards Tess, looking at her closely. She seems pale and there's moisture on her face. I don't know if it's sweat or water. "Kyle said you were sick. Can I help?"

'I'm fine Max, really. I was just really sick all of a sudden. I was telling Isabel that its funny 'cause I'm never sick. Its gone now though, I feel fine.'
He looks at me closely and I try to smile brightly. Its hard with all my mixed feelings but I think I manage.

I was about to respond to Tess when my brother came in after Tess's assurances that it was safe. Watching him seal the door, I was aware that he wasn't expecting to see me there. As my brother greeted me I smiled and gave a brief nod, letting him find out how Tess was doing before I said anything.
When Tess restated what she had been telling me to him, I nodded. "I was about to ask her if she's ever had parenting classes or child development courses." I wasn't speaking as sarcastically as a part of me wanted to be. In fact, I was proud of myself for simply sounding as though it were a simple inquiry instead of an insult.
Turning to look at Tess, I continued, "I mean, they state that feeling sick, like you just were is considered morning sickness and normal with your current condition."
I sighed, figuring that I might as well say what I was planning on saying, "Look, I'm not going to cause you any problems here. If either of you need my help, to talk or something, I'm here." Looking toward Max, I continued, "If you want me to be with you when you face Mom and Dad, let me know. Dad was full of questions and so was Mom."

I listen to Tess and Isabel discuss her illness with a bit of amazement. Can Tess really be unsure about why she was feeling unwell? Even Kyle knew it was morning sickness.
I put a hand on Tess's shoulder, sorry that there's nothing my powers can do to help her. "I'm glad you're feeling better," I tell her. "Unfortunately, it's bound to be happening often. I'll help you, whenever I can."
Then I turn back to Isabel. What she says to me about being willing to stand by me while Tess and I tell Mom and Dad about the baby, leaves me nearly speechless. "You'd do that for me?" I ask her. "You'd be there?" Her behavior at the meeting didn't indicate anything like that kind of support. Although her comments afterwards had given me some hope, it was different to actually hear it. It wasn't surprising that Mom and Dad had questions after the way I treated them this morning, but I couldn't help that. I just couldn't stay. And Isabel doesn't even seem to be mad at me for ditching her when I left for school, either.
My sister gives me a small smile that actually seems sincere. It's more than I'd dared to hope for. I want to give her a huge hug, but I restrain myself, barely managing to swallow the lump my throat. "Thank you!" I say. Just hearing her make the offer means more than I can explain. I glance at Tess before continuing. "I'll let you know," I tell her. I think I want her there, but I'll have to see what Tess thinks, first.

Max's hand on my shoulder is nice, it feels safe and reassuring. He leaves it there while he talks to Isabel and then turns back to look at me. He looks happier after what she has just said, and it's a relief to me as well. I miss having a friend,and I hope that in time we can be friends again.
'Nesado never told me anything about having children, I guess he thought it might be different, or it wasn't his place, or maybe he just didn't care . Its going to happen more? Will it happen a lot? I'm scared Max.'
He doesn't say anything for a minute, just pulls me close in a hug and strokes my hair for a minute. I forget about school and Isabel and all the hard things that are coming. After a minute I pull back a little and look up so I can see his face
'Max, what are we going to do?'
