The next week, Brooke called her father, she told him she didn’t feel good and wasn’t coming in to work that day. She had no idea what was wrong with her. She felt fine the other day; now all of a sudden she was regurgitating. She kept thinking of what it could be, “This doesn’t make sense. No one around me is or was sick. What could it... wait a minute... it couldn’t be.” She drove down to the store. When she came back, she went into the bathroom and closed the door. About half an hour later, she came back out with a shocked look on her face, “Oh my goodness.” She started to cry of happiness, and couldn’t wait for Michael to get home.
She waited and waited for him to get home. The suspense was killing her. Finally, Michael walked through the door. He walked up to Brooke and held her tight, “Good afternoon sweetie. Why weren’t you at work today?”
“Um, actually Michael, I wanted to talk to you about that. I was feeling really sick and didn’t see how I could have gotten it from anyone... so I umm... I took a certain test and umm... well, I’m pregnant Michael!”
Michael stood there shocked, “You’re what?” Michael said fighting back tears.
“You’re going to be a dad for a third time Michael,”
He couldn’t hold in the tears anymore. Crying his eyes out Michael said, “Really? I am? Oh Brooke, I love you so much,”
“I love you too Michael,” Brooke said, crying with him.
A few weeks later, Brooke was at work, arriving at 5 as usual. She went to find her dad to tell him the good news. When she did though, he didn’t think it was all that good, “YOU’RE WHAT? I can’t believe this. Why would you want a child with HIM?”
“Daddy please, I love him. Why are you so upset about that?”
“I don’t want you having biracial children with that excuse for a man Brooke. It’s just not right,”
“No daddy, you’re not right. You’re doing the same thing Michael’s ex-mother-in-law did. And I don’t want him to have to go through that again. There’s nothing wrong with it, and if you can’t accept it, then I don’t want you seeing us or the baby!”
“Well I’m glad, because I don’t want to see any of you anyway. In fact Brooke, you’re fired. Get your things and get out of here.”
“FINE!” Brooke yelled back at him. How could he say that? Shouldn’t he be happy? Well if he didn’t want to be happy about this, then that was his problem. Brooke went to her office and collected her things. As she was, Matt walked in.
“HI Brooke,”
“What do you want Matt?” Brooke said coldly.
“Hey I was trying to be nice. Wait, what are you doing?”
“I’m getting my stuff, dad fired me,”
“What? But why would he do that?”
Brooke had forgotten who she was talking to and blurted out everything, “Because I told him about me being pregnant and he said he thought having biracial children was wrong. So I told him I didn’t want him to see Michael and I, or our baby ever again,”
“Whoa whoa, hold up. You’re pregnant? Is this Michael guy the man you’re with then, huh?”
“Oh no. Oh my goodness you’re not meant to know, no one, is meant to know. Please, you can’t tell anyone,”
“Hey don’t sweat it. Look I’m sorry for being a jerk to you too. I really am. I’m happy for you too. You’d better go before the boss sees you’re still here.”
“Okay Matt. And thanks.” Brooke said, giving him a hug. Matt enjoyed that, perhaps a little more than what he should have. When she left, all he could think was, “That Michael is horrible. I should be with her, not this Michael guy. I’ll destroy him.”
Part 9 coming up soon. Sorry it's a little short.

Fancy's P.O.V.
At last, I was at home, where I belonged. My mother was supposed to come home today, but she called and said that her trip was postponed and she had to stay in New York City until next Tuesday. She said she'd hated that she couldn't see us, it had been at least a year, though she still loved us. Being with my aunt isn't really exciting, she ignores us until there's a big modeling gig we have to do. I was scrunched up on the couch, under my fluffy blue blanket, watching the Brady Bunch. Felicity was on a date with her new boyfriend, and my aunt was out shopping with her girly snobby friends, so I was alone. Nothing special about today, just glad to be at home.
* I might end this story, because of lack of ideas, I'll pull through. I also might take a longer time to update since I'm starting school soon. *
