The next day at work the guys questioned Chris about what the big secret had been. “What did she have to tell you?” Lance asked. Chris took a deep breath. “She told me she was pregnant.” He said softly. “What you got her pregnant already?” Joey asked shocked. “No, it’s not mine. It’s some other guy’s. She was with him before I asked her out.” Chris explained. “She didn’t tell you who the father was did she?” Justin asked. “No she refused, she said it didn’t matter the guy was a jerk and didn’t want anything to go with the baby.” Chris added sounding a little upset. “How do you know this guy is a jerk?” Justin asked. “Well he sure sounds like one to me, skipping out on a woman he got pregnant. I would have never done that to Kelly and Briana.” Joey said. “So I take it she is planning on keeping the baby.” JC questioned. “Yeah as far as I can tell, she plans to keep it.” Chris said. “What are you going to do?” Lance asked. “What do you mean what am I going to do, I love her and I am going to stick by her on this, and I will find out who the father is and make him help her and do his part.” Chris said looking his friends in the eyes. “It sounds to me like he already did his part.” Justin said smartly. The others just glared at him. “This is serious dude.” Lance snapped. “Okay, it’s serious, sorry.” Justin replied. They all got up and walked down the hall to where they were recording. Justin stopped Chris at the door, “Just how are you planning on finding out who the father is?” Justin asked. “Well if Bailey won’t tell me then I do some detective work. You’re my friend will you help me?” Chris asked. “Yeah, I mean that’s what friends are for, of course I’ll help you.” Justin said as they entered the room. Mean while across town, Bailey was meeting some friends for lunch. They were in town for vacation, but Bailey was trying to talk them into moving down here with her. “Come on you said you had big news over the phone.” Marissa said smiling at her long time friend. “Yeah, we talked about it the whole way here.” Kenya added. “Well you guys, this is a long story but the just of it is I’m going to have a baby.” Bailey said. “Oh, my god. No way.” Marissa squealed. “Is it Chris’?” Kenya asked. “Well no, I got pregnant before Chris asked me out.” Bailey explained. “Then who is the daddy?” Marissa asked. “It’s that one guy isn’t it, you mystery man.” Kenya said. “Yes, if you must know it is him.” Bailey replied. “I never got his name.” Marissa asked. “And you never will.” Bailey said sounding very sure. “Why?” Kenya asked. “The guy who got me pregnant doesn’t want anything to do with the baby so I don’t want anything to do with him. It’s not worth knowing who he is.” Bailey explained. “Does Chris know?” Marissa asked. “Yeah, I told him last night, I don’t think he was too happy with my choice to keep the father name a secret.” Bailey added. “I guess he wouldn’t be, but why not tell him?” Kenya asked. “It would cause more damage than you know. Chris would kill this guy if he knew. But I think Chris will make an excellent Step-father.” Bailey said with a sly look on her face. “Girl I will never understand you, but I’m happy nonetheless. So when do we get to meet Mr. Perfect?” Marissa asked. “Tonight, I’m sure he’ll be by to check on me.” Bailey said. The girls talked a bit longer then headed back to Bailey’s to rest and catch up. They were all sitting around in their PJ’s when there was a knock on the door. Bailey smiled and got up to answer the door. She opened it, she smiled sweetly at Chris and invited him in, and the others were still with him. She gave them all a quick hello, then took Chris by the hand and led him into the living room. “I want you to meet my High School friends.” She said. “Chris, this is Marissa and Kenya. Guys this is Chris.” Bailey said sweetly. “And that is Joey, JC, Lance and Justin.” She added pointing back at the others. Joey came up and gave her a hug. “You okay girl, is there anything we can do for you?” Joey asked. “That’s sweet of you Joey, but I’m fine. Me and the baby have everything we need right here.” Bailey said. “We’re here for you, if you do need anything.” JC added. “Thanks you guys are so sweet to me.” Bailey said, she smiled and looked at her friends. “It looks like you are in good hands.” Kenya said. Chris wrapped his arms around her. “I’m in great hands.” She said. “Yeah, well we better go, we have busy day tomorrow.” Justin said. “But you just got here.” Bailey wined looking at Chris. “You guys go on a head, I’ll be a long later.” Chris said. “Okay, I guess we should go.” Lance said rubbing his head. “But if you ever need anything just call us.” He added. Chris walked them to the door and they all said their good byes. Then he joined Bailey back in the living room. “You don’t mind spending time with us girls do you?’ Bailey asked. “As long as one of them is you.” He said giving her a kiss on the fore head. “Oh, he’s a keeper.” Marissa giggled. “That’s funny Bailey I never knew you had friends.” Chris said eyeing the two on the floor. She slapped him playfully in the arm. They hung out for awhile, Bailey couldn’t help but notice how close Chris had become, he like didn’t want to leave her side. He kept drop hints that we wanted to know who the father was, but Bailey ignored them. Finally Bailey excused herself and left Chris alone with her friends. “So, ladies, which one of you is going to tell me who the father of the baby is.” Chris asked. The other two laughed. “I honestly wish we could tell you but she’s keeping us in the dark too.” Kenya explained. “I thought girls talked about stuff like this?” Chris asked. “I thought so too, but if you figure it out you have to tell us.” Marissa explained. “I will.” Chris laughed. “She did talk about him a few times over the phone, but we never got his name.” Kenya said. “Yeah, he was like her secret lover that no one could know about.” Marissa added. “Really, what if anything else did she tell you.” Chris asked very interested. “I got the impression that it was someone at work.” Marissa explained. “That doesn’t narrow it down any, the company is huge and new clients come in all the time. I need more details, ladies.” Chris said. “Okay, she said the first time they ‘got together’ was in her office at work. He had been seducing her for weeks and he finally caught her at a weak point. She said he had an amazing way with words and suddenly having sex didn’t seem so dirty.” Kenya added watching as the expression on Chris’ face closely. “At work, wow. Any way ladies, I think we should continue this talk later, like...” Chris started to say. “When Bailey isn’t here?” Bailey asked putting her hands on her hips. “Hey, baby. Didn't see you there.” Chris said with a smile. “I bet you didn’t. Now you guys just drop it already.” Bailey said sitting down beside Chris. “Tell us already.” Marissa yelled. “Nope, not going to happen. It’s up to him really; I could care less if anyone knows. It’s like going to the sperm bank.” Bailey explained. “Not really girl, you did fool around with this guy, you do know a little something about him.” Kenya said. “I just don’t think he would make a very good father any way.” Bailey said. “What do you have against this guy; I mean you had to like him at one point.” Marissa asked. “I did like him he was handsome, and I thought he was the kind of guy I could have a relationship with but, he didn’t want that. He got mad when I told him it was over because Chris was going to ask me out. Then he got even madder when I told him I was pregnant. He said the kid wasn’t his and I was just trying to find away to get back with him, and get money from him. That’s why I don’t want anything to do with him.” Bailey explained. Chris kissed her, “Well his loss is my gain.”
