December 2nd, 2008
Carla hadn't been feeling too well recently, nothing major, but like she would feel sick when she thought of eating breakfast, but then nothing would happen. She hadn't thought too much about it, putting it down to after effects of her tumor and Sam's powers, but she soon realised there might be another reason for it, when she didn't take her period. Then the realisation dawned on her, missed period, feeling nauseous, and then she remembered that night with Bruce.
They hadn't slept together since then, but they hadn't used protection, but she hadn't thought she would get pregnant the first time she had sex. This was bad, what was she going to do? What if Bruce didn't want to know? Wait, she didn't even know yet, not for sure.
She rushed to the chemist and used her savings to buy a pregnancy testing kit and shoved it in her bag and then made her way to Bruce's house. Shakily got out the key and ran into the living room once she opened the door.
"Bruce, Bruce!" she screamed out loud as she searched frantically for him, "Where the hell are you?" she asked she was anything but calm right now.

As usual, Bruce had been cooking popcorn and watching a movie. Although, cooking popcorn for him included grabbing the bag, and a bowl. Touching the bag with his hand and warming it up. Within 5 seconds, he had popcorn. Poured it into a bowl, and eating it. He hadn't watched the new Bond movie yet, and had got it off a mate.
Then, he heard Carla's voice, he was surprised. He used his ability to make the door of the lounge room open for her. "Carla, in here!" He yelled to her. Standing up quickly. He ran to her as she walked into the room. "Carla! Whats wrong. What is it!" He said to her, pulling her into a hug.

Carla should have known he'd be in the living room, but she couldn't help but shout out for him in alarm. She was scared. What if he didn't want a child. What would she do? She wasn't even sure she could cope on her own.
However, he had got up and pulled her into a hug asking her what was wrong. It was all too much for her, as she began to cry, and shake uncontrollably.
"I'm scared Bruce" she began, she was, she was petrified. "I don't know for sure, but I think I might be, and I don't know how you're going to react and you might hate me, and not want to, it's horrible, its a complete mess" Carla rambled off, not even daring to look at his face.

She was shaking and began crying, rambling on about something, incoherently, he couldn't understand what she was trying to say.
"Carla! What is it? No matter what you've done, you know I wont care. I will always love you Carla. There is nothing that can change that"
He was starting to get concerned, what was it that could turn Carla like this, into a crying fit, reducing her to that. He hadn't seen it before. What could of scared her so much. He would find out, and he would make it all stop. He didn't want anything to hurt her anymore.

Desperately trying to calm herself down so she could speak to him more clearly. Then she went into her bag, and took out the test kit which was in a chemist bag. She looked at it, and then looked into his eyes. She was still shaking and still crying, but she knew she would be able to speak to him now.
"It's not something I've done" she said as she sniffed and wiped at her eyes, "It's more something we've done" she said, as she bit down on her bottom lip slightly and then took out the kit from the paper bag.
"I think, I don't know for sure, but I think I might be pregnant Bruce" she said, and looked down at her feet, still shaking. "I don't even know, I mean we're so young, what... I mean you probably don't even want to be a father" she said, hanging her head down low.

When she said it wasn't something she had done, it was something they had done, it clicked. He knew exactly what she was talking about, and yet, it didn't bother him at all. Sure, she was shocked, but it wasn't like he didn't want this.
"Pregnant" He said to Carla. "Carla, I have wanted to be a father since I was young. Its a little sooner then I expected, but thats ok. Carla, all I know is, I love you. And if you are pregnant, and have our child, I will love it just as much as I love you." He said to her, trying to keep her hopes up.
"Perhaps you should see if you are before we get too ahead of ourselves" he said, motioning to the test.

Carla couldn't believe what she was hearing. Bruce seemed to be alright with the idea of having a baby, even though they were only young. Well he was older than she was right enough, but still. By the time she had this baby she would be seventeen, but then Bruce would be nearer eighteen. And if she was pregnant, there was Sam to consider. How would he react?
"You mean, you don't mind?" she asked softly, as she managed to stop crying and shaking. "I was so scared you wouldn't want to know me anymore" she said truthfully. "I love you so much Bruce" she said as she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her. However he was right, they did need to find out for sure.
"I'll be right back I guess" she said as she went to the loo with the test kit. Several moments later, after doing what was necessary, she sat on the toilet seat and held the stick and waited and waited. It only took two minutes for the result, but it felt like a lifetime to Carla.
Then she saw it. There was no mistaking it. It said PREGNANT. So she was. Shit she thought, Sam will kill her. Holding the test in her hand, she walked back into the living room, with mixed emotions. "Well, I am" she said slowly as she handed him the test showing the result. "You might be alright about it, but Sam, Sam will probably kill me" and then she began to laugh at the irony of it. She couldn't be killed, not now she had Rapid Cellular Regeneration.

Carla seemed surprised that Bruce wanted to stick by her. In fact, he was a little disappointed, what kind of a man did Carla think he was. She was scared that he wouldn't want to know her at all. "I love you too, Carla" He said to her, and she went off to check. As she went off to check, he waited by the door.
After a few minutes, Carla came back out. When she said it was true, she was pregnant, there was mixed emotions in Bruce. "Your Pregnant! Your Pregnant!" He said, lifting her up, kissing her.
Then, she said, that she was worried about what Sam will think. Bruce was more worried about what Sam would try to do to him! Of course, its not like Bruce couldn't defend himself. He had Sam's ability, as well as his own. Sam really was outnumbered. Just in case.
"Well, we have to tell him, Carla." He said to her. "Sooner rather then later, when he finds out by the physical signs"

When Carla came out telling him she was pregnant he seemed to be over joyed. Lifting her up and kissing her, exclaiming twice that she was pregnant like they had been trying for a baby for a long time. Still as much as she loved Bruce and she was sure he loved her, she just couldn't be happy enough about it, not until she had told Sam and got his opinion on it.
"You really are happy then?" she asked him, "I mean you're ready to be a father?" she added, she still wasn't sure if she was ready to be a mother, but if she knew she had Bruce's support that was all that mattered.
"Yes I know we have to tell him, and the sooner the better, can we tell him together?" she asked Bruce softly, "I don't think I could tell him something like this by myself" she added with a sad smile. "And yeah I know it needs to be sooner than later" she added with a weak smile. She wanted to be happy about the pregnancy, especially if Bruce was so happy but she was just finding it too difficult.

"Yes Carla, I really am happy about this" He said to her, smiling. "And yes, I am ready to be a father" he said to her. He truly was, Carla was still a little bit younger then him, but that didn't bother him. He wondered what Sam would think, but was sure he wouldn't go off his nut... much.
And then, Carla bought it up, how they were going to tell Sam. He didn't know, but he thought it would be a very bad thing to do to leave her to tell him by herself.
"Yes of course we will tell him together Carla, I wouldn't leave you to do it by yourself, ever" He smiled and hugged her.

Carla still couldn't believe it. Everything was happening too quickly. Getting a boyfriend, falling in love, and now she was pregnant. What was next for her and Bruce? Could they go any further with their relationship? Or would they crash and burn because everything had happened so quickly? But she put it all to the back of her mind.
"With your support, I'm sure I can be a good mother" Carla said, which she was really scared about. Having not known her own mother, she had nobody to turn to for advice other than Sam, and she knew he would go mental at her, if not kill Bruce for getting her into this situation in the first place.
"Thanks Bruce" Carla said when he agreed to tell Sam with her, and when he hugged her, she hugged him back just as tightly, "I love you so much" she added. Now all she needed for the complete perfect picture was to get married to Bruce. They would be their own little family, what would be more perfect than that?

She seemed happy when he said he wanted to be a father. Saying that with his help, she could be a good mother. He agreed with this, but was sure that, even without his help, she could be a good mother. Now, the only thing to do was to break the news to Sam.
"I love you too, Carla" He said, kissing her quickly. He hoped that this was the right thing to do, but he knew in his heart that having a baby with Carla was what he really wanted, and nothing else could be better then that in his own mind.
"Now, we should go and break the news to Sam" He said. "Should I bring the champagne?" Bruce asked, grinning.

Carla was finally coming around to the idea of being pregnant and becoming a mom. When she'd first discovered she was pregnant just a few moments ago, she was certain Bruce wouldn't want to know about it. She had been so wrong. Now she felt a lot calmer about the situation. All they had to do was face Sam. Which might not be such an easy task.
She smiled softly when Bruce said he loved her too. In her heart deep down she already knew how he felt about her, and with that in mind, she should have known he would have been fine about the pregnancy, but she couldn't help but be worried about it on the surface.
"Yes we should break the news to Sam, I don't know about the champagne however" Carla said looking a little grim again. She just knew the way Sam would react. He had been bad enough at reacting about her catching the bouquet and teasing about marrying Bruce.
[ooc: up to you - if you want to just bring Sam into this thread - like I could have Carla phone him in her next post - or we wrap this one up and start a new one with Bruce/Carla/Sam. Its not going to make much difference since Sam wont be in the picture much longer anyway]

She seemed to get sad when he mentioned getting out the champagne, he was joking, but he felt as if he had upset her, he had to apologize. "Sorry, bad joke" He said to her.
He didn't know what would be best, calling Sam, telling him to his face, cooking him dinner first maybe. All these ideas were good, but perhaps Carla should just invite him over now.
"Carla, perhaps you should call Sam now? Invite him over, I'll cook him dinner, and we can, well, tell him"

"Yeah, just a little, but it's okay" Carla said trying to get herself back into some cheery spirit. She hated feeling down. Carla was a bubbly girl, and she didn't want to be anything but bubbly and cheery. Just because she was going to be a teenage mom didn't mean she had to be sad about it. She was going to have a baby with the man she loved, wasn't that a good thing?
"Yeah okay, I'll call Sam now, and actually I don't really care what he thinks, I love you Bruce, and well I can't think of anything I'd rather have than our child" she said cheering up, feeling happier and instinctively put her hand across her stomach as she spoke. She then went over to Bruce, put her arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"We're going to be just fine together" she whispered into his ear, before pulling gently out of the hug and picking up the phone and dialling Sam's number. After speaking to him for about five minutes, Carla put the phone back in its base.
"He said he'd be here in a few moments" Carla said, sighing gently, but giggling at the same time. She really didn't care what Sam thought. She was sixteen, he couldn't treat her like a silly child any more.
