||Genie||
Jie, you are awake. Are you feeling better now?

||Hebe||
What happened?

||Genie||
You don't remember? I don't know why but you were lying in front of our house.

||Hebe||
I fainted?

||Genie||
Yeah, I guess so, that is the only reason I can come up with.

||Hebe||
Oh, okay.

||Genie||
Well, I am going to school now, ok? See ya later.

||Hebe||
Bye.

*A few minutes passed and Genie came to Hebe's room again*

||Genie||
Bebe jie.

||Hebe||
What? Did Yalun come? Where is he? Tell him to wait a minute, I have to get ready, I can't let him see me like this.

*Hebe was looking through her closet for a set of clothing while, at the same time trying to put a little make up on so she wouldn't look too bad in front of Arron*

||Genie||
Jie jie, calm down, one thing at a time. ….Yalun ge didn't come. I-I-I haven't seen him come by yet.

||Hebe||
Oh, okay. Less work for me.

*Hebe smiled at Genie, but a tint of discontent was visible in her voice and smile.

||Hebe||
So what is wrong, Genie?

||Genie||
Nothing, I was just going to tell you, I cooked some congee for you and left it downstairs. Also, I left your handbag by the mirror, downstairs. Jie, don't go to school today, I don't think you will be strong enough to go.

||Hebe||
Okay, then. Thanks. Have a nice day at school.

||Genie||
Thanks. Do you want me to get you something when I get back from school?

||Hebe||
No, I am fine. Bye.

||Genie||
Okay, I am going now then, byebye

{A few minutes after Genie left}

Hebe's thought: Why didn't Yalun come today? I didn't want to wake up late but he didn't even come by. I should call him, he shouldn't be in class yet.

*Hebe rushed downstairs to get her phone which was in her bag*

||Hebe||
What is wrong with his phone these days? Guess I will just see him after-school.

*When she closed her phone and looked up, in the mirror, she saw a different person. A person in despair.

Hebe's thought: I look so hideous. It is not the reason for Yalun to be ignoring my calls, is it? He can't be with another woman, can he? A more appealing woman? But..But.. he was so joyful when..

! ! Start of flashback!!

||Arron||
Are you okay? This is a symptom of pregnant ladies.

*Arron gasped really loud*

||Arron||
BEBEE, please tell me you are pregnant with my baby!!!!! Omg I am going to be a daddy, oh yeahhhh
! ! End of flashback!!

||Hebe||
Shoot, I need to go take the test. Now that people keep mentioning it, I am not sure anymore. There might be a slight possibility that I may be bearing Yalun's child. We were really protected though!!!

*Hebe smiled but then started thinking again*

||Hebe||
What if he really is with some other woman or even girl? Ah Be, face the truth, you are older than him, and you are lucky enough he got with you in the first place.

*Hebe sighed*

||Hebe||
Xibi, stop thinking so much, let's just take the test and find out the truth.

*Hebe went to her bathroom and took the test *

*Hebe talking to herself and is closing her eyes *

||Hebe||
Xibi, Xiao Be, Ah Be, BEEE, calm down. I can do this, there is nothing big about this. Bebe, you can do it. On a count of three, opens your eyes and see the result. 1--2--2.5--2.6--2.7...ugh, let's count again, this time to five, 1--2--3, no ten. 1—2—3—4—5—6—7—8...., Tian Xibi, stop acting a scaredy cat, open your eyes.1-1 AHHHHHHHHHH

*Hebe had open her eyes and looked at her result.*

||Hebe||
Ayyiyiyiyiy, Ayiyiyi, ayyyyaaa. Wait, how do you read this thingy? The name of this thingy is such a liar, SimpCheck my . There is nothing simple about this checking. How am I going to read this? Who should I ask for help? Genie is at school, mommy at work, Ya Ya.. Yalun is also at school. JERRY GE. I bet he knows how to read this, he knows a lot of things. Ugh, where is my phone? Ohh, its in my bag

*Over the phone*

||Hebe||
Hello? Jerry ge?

||secretary||
Hello, this is not Mr. Jerry. May I ask who is calling?

||Hebe||
I am Xibi. Who is this?

||secretary||
I work for Mr. Jerry. How should I refer to you?

||Hebe||
Please, tell him, ah Be called.

||Secertary||
Okay, please wait a minute miss.

*The Da S on the line with Jerry*

||Da S||
Sir, there is a girl by the name of ah Be on the line. Would you like for me to forward the line to you?

||Jerry||
Ah Be? Of course. Transfer it now. Thanks, Da S.

||Da S||
Anytime, Sir.

*Beep *

||Jerry||
Ah Be???

||Hebe||
Ge ge.

||Jerry||
You missed me already?

||Hebe||
No, I just need your help.

||Jerry||
I feel sad, Bebe doesn't miss me.

||Hebe||
Ge, don't be that way, now HELP ME.

||Jerry||
Help you with what?

||Hebe||
A problem. I think it would be very easy for you to help me.

||Jerry||
I know it is a problem, just spill it.

||Hebe||
Jerry ge, you, Genie and ah Bu have been teasing me about my craving..

||Jerry||
Wait, who is ah Bu?

||Hebe||
Ah Bu is Yalun. Now back to my problem. You guys have been teasing me about my cravings and along with it, all three of you thought that I was pregnant. So...

||Jerry||
So what?

||Hebe||
So....

||Jerry||
Ah Be, spill it.

||Hebe||
Jerry|ge,I|bought|a|pregnancy|test|,yesterday,|and|I|already|test|and|everything|but|I|don't|know|how|to|read|it. So I want you to tell me how to read it.

||Jerry||
Xibi, when I said spill it, I didn't literally mean spill it, and I only got “So I want you to tell me how to read it.”

||Hebe||
Ge,I bought a pregnancy test yesterday, and I already test and everything but I don't know how to read it.

||Jerry||
WHAT?!?!?!

||Hebe||
PLEASE, don't be mad. Please don't.

||Jerry||
AHH, omg , oh yeah.

||Hebe||
What the heck? O.O

||Jerry||
Omg, I was so scared that I have to wait until I am a very old man to have a niece/or nephew.
Having a niece would be good, but them a nephew would be good, too. Well, maybe a niece will be better, no a nephew can be better than a niece, too.

||Hebe||
AH GE!!!!!

||Jerry||
WHAT?

||Hebe||
I need your help???

||Jerry||
I think you should have a son, never mind, a girl, no a boy. WAIT??? YOU NEED FOR ME TO HELP YOU READ A PREGNANCY TEST? WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU THINK I KNOW HOW TO READ IT?

||Hebe||
I don't know, you solve a lot of my problems when I was younger.

||Jerry||
When you were younger? You had problems like, what should you do if you tripped in front of your crush. I would just say, laugh about it, and act cool. That was easy, but a prego test, is out of my league. Ok, wait, let me forward you to my secretary, she is a girl so she should know.

||Hebe||
Wait, NOOOOO, I don't want to talk to a stra...

||Da S||
Hello, Miss. Xibi, I am Da S

||Hebe||
oh, hello.

||Da S||
How may I help you?

||Hebe||
I don't know how to read my pregnancy test.

||Da S||
you are having trouble reading the test? Luckily, my friend just did a test the other day, so I know how to read it

||Hebe||
Yes.

||Da S||
Well, what do you see on the screen?

||Hebe||
I see, a minus sign.

||Da S||
Miss, this means that you are...

||Hebe||
No, now it is a plus sign. Yay, does this mean I tested positive for not being pregnant???

||Da S||
No miss. It is just the opposite.

||Hebe||

||Da S||

||Jerry||

||Hebe||

||Jerry||
You tested positive? What does that mean?

||Da S||

! ! start of flashback!!

1988 /\/Shopping Center/\/\

||Little Hebe||
Mommy, can I get this doll? She is so pretty!

||Hebe's mom||
Yes, she is, but, I, we need to save money to buy us food. I am sorry Xibi, I will buy it for you when I have enough money to afford it.

*Hebe's mommy talking quietly but not quiet enough for Hebe not to hear*

||Hebe's mom||
If I was to further my studies and went to college, my life and my babies' lives would be so much better. I really should have went to college.

! ! end of flashback !!

! ! start flash forward !!

*Arron by the corner mumbling to himself*

||Arron||
Why didn't I go to college? I should have never let the opportunity pass by me like that. If I was to go to college when I was young, I could have given my family a good life. Stupid me, letting go of a chance of a lifetime like that.

! ! end flash forward ! !

~2003 May 16~ {2:30AM}

Hebe's thought: So, what am I going to do? Should I tell Yalun or should I keep it from him? If I told him would he be mad? Would he be mad if I didn't tell him? If I was to tell him or not tell him, how will it affect our futures? Really, Tian Xibi, you are in a hole now, how are you going to dig yourself back out?

||Hebe||
OWWWW

*Hebe banged her head and without wanting to, she banged too hard.*

||Hebe||

It's 2:30ish, I should go to sleep now. Oh my gosh, I am sorry baby, I shouldn't be staying up late. I forgot I have another life inside me now. I will talk this over with ah ge tomorrow. Okay, goodnight baby.
