Chapter 43 - Ch.43

AN: I hope everyone had a good couple of holidays. Now I am back, I know it seems obvious but I'd suggest rereading the last chapter or two, so you can remember what we left on. With that said, enjoy.

"Andy, I'm pregnant. I found out last week," Beth says shortly after the dinner, I can see a look of nervousness in her eyes too. 

"WHAT?!" Andy and Haley both say simultaneously, making Beth look at Haley with a confused face which turns quickly into anger. 

Doing the math, I don't see how it could be possible for Andy to be the father. Then again maybe they've seen each other more than I know. Either way, it seems Haley's surprise has now made Beth understand that Andy maybe wasn't completely faithful to her too. 

"Andy, are you sleeping with her?!" Beth says gesturing to Haley who now looks pale at being called out. 

"What! NO!" Andy says since they technically haven't slept together yet. 

"Yeah, we only kissed!" Haley says immediately throwing gas back onto the fire. Everyone gives her a 'wtf' look hearing her. While I chuckle a bit, Alex just sighs. 

"What!" Beth says even more annoyed now, though Haley looks even more embarrassed realizing her mistake. 

"I was just a kiss, it didn't mean anything!" Andy says trying to placate Beth. Though Haley hearing him looks very saddened. 

"This is just getting worse and worse," I say with a low voice, trying to not laugh out loud at this stupidity. However, Carlos looks very uncomfortable with this, but at the same time looks conflicted at seeing Haley being discarded. 

"So, you'd be fine if I just went around kissing anyone?!" Beth says with an annoyed look at Andy and Haley. 

"Looks like you did more than that, when was the last time you and Andy saw each other? Is that even Andy's kid?" I say speaking up since, no matter how much I hate someone. I'd rather not see them screwed over by someone lying about having their child. 

"Who the hell even are you?! And how dare you–" Beth says hearing me as everyone turns to me surprised at my sudden interruption. Though now everyone seems to be thinking about what I said. 

"Beth, Gabe's right… I haven't seen you in a few months… There is no way I got you pregnant… Holyshit…," Andy says putting all the pieces together and then taking a seat on the couch realizing his life is falling apart rather quickly. 

"Andy?!... You aren't gonna believe–" Beth says immediately trying to win Andy back over in her panic seeing the tables turn. 

"Believe, what the truth?! We haven't seen each other in over two months! There is no way I got you pregnant, not since you recently found out apparently!" Andy says with a very annoyed and angry face hearing Beth trying to win him back over. 

"I know! I was going to break it off with you since I know it is someone else's, but then you and this… this whore said you cheated on me anyway!" Beth says as everyone then looks even more surprised, but all of Haley's family and even mine now jump in yelling at Beth for calling Haley a whore. 

'Haley is more of a slut, then whore. At least as far as I'm aware she isn't trading sex for anything,' I think as the whole house turns into chaos. 

"Fuck all of you!!" Beth says quickly leaving with Andy and then following after her, seems he has a few more words for her. 

"And here I thought maybe we could have a somewhat drama-free winter vacation," I say to Alex who just laughs hearing me. 

"Not with our families," Alex says as I nod my head. 

Andy then comes back in after a few minutes outside with Beth, though he looks at everyone with an awkward face. Meanwhile, everyone was talking with Haley trying to make her feel better. Well everyone except for Carlos and his family. 

"Haley… can we talk?" Andy says after coming back inside. Haley just nods her head while shooting a quick glance to Carlos before following Andy to another room. 

Everyone is then talking about the drama that just unfolded, while I walk over to Carlos. 

"So… you good?" I say to Carlos since I'm not really sure what to say after seeing this all go down. 

"Sure, my girlfriend cheated on me with the guy who came here and we decided to break it off. Now she is talking with the guy in another room after he just broke it off with his fiancée," Carlos says to me with a very sarcastic voice. 

"Yeah…" I say just nodding my head while patting his shoulder. 

"Sometimes, I'm jealous of you for having found Alex… Don't do anything to mess it up," Carlos says to me as I smile at him. 

"Thanks, I was really lucky to find her. And trust me, I won't do anything to mess this up," I say while looking over to Alex with a loving smile on my face, as she is talking with her Mom and Uncles about the drama. 

Then Haley and Andy come back into the room, though from the looks of it, they are not together. I then see Haley looking at Carlos with a conflicted look. Seems Haley is still unsure what she wants and maybe is gonna try to win my cousin back. Andy then awkwardly says goodbye to everyone before taking his leave. 

A couple of minutes after Andy leaves, everyone else goes back to their rooms. My family went back to our cabin where everyone quickly went to sleep. Alex and I stayed up for a bit longer talking about the drama that unfolded here this vacation. The next morning, we later heard that Jay asked Claire to take over his company at breakfast. 

Then we all headed back to our homes, Alex, Eric, Maya, and I all spent one last day here. Then the following morning boarded our plane back to Cambridge, Massachusetts. After another few hours of first-class flying and a taxi drive, we all arrived back at Harvard. Well, Alex and I went back to our apartment, with Eric and Maya going back to their dorms. 

We came back with one weekend left before the spring semester started, and we spent the first day just relaxing and readjusting our sleep schedules. Then the next we went to our clubs to let them know we were back. I walked to the club after having breakfast with Alex and there I saw Eric walking over too. 

"Hey, bro!" Eric says to me as we walk up to the club's house and knock on the front door. 

"Hey," I say still a bit tired and drinking my coffee. 

"Get in, it's fucking cold out," Josh says after opening the door and shivering since it is still winter as it is mid-January. 

"The newbies are here!" Josh says slowly making his way back into the kitchen. 

"Gabe, Eric! Welcome back, how was your winter break?" Jacob says to us walking into the entryway of the house. 

"It was alright, you?" I say as Eric scoffs hearing me.

"It was more than alright! It was crazy and awesome!" Eric says right after me.

"Glad you both had fun, mine was good too," Jacob says with a laugh seeing Eric being his normal self. 

"Everyone is still waking up. However, there is nothing we need from you guys right now. However, the Bee Club will be throwing a party next weekend as a 'welcome back' party. So, once we get the details we'll let you know what we need from you guys," Jacob says to us as Eric and I nod our heads, then Eric wanders off to talk with the guys. 

I just go sit down in the living room taking a seat on one of the armchairs while closing my eyes. Then I hear someone walking into the living room area. I can see that it is Will. Behind him are some of the other guys too. 

"What's up Gabe," Will says as I just nod my head seeing him. 

I then spend the next few moments talking with him and some of the other guys. Afterward, Eric and I head over to the Bee Cafe to meet up with Maya and Alex. There they told us what Jacob did, that they are hosting a Welcome Back party next weekend. 

Later that day, we got a text from our sponsors that our duties were the same as usual. This time, I will be acting as the 'bouncer' and Eric will be bartending with Josh. My co-bouncer it seems will be Will too. The four of us then hang out for the rest of the day before we all head to our homes. 

Monday morning comes and with it, Alex's stress levels rise. As of now, she is back in the school and club mindset. This semester should be slightly harder with the classes we have. However, I have no worries about it while Alex is just like her normal self. Maya seems almost as worried about it as Alex, while Eric can't seem to care less about the situation. 

As we met up with the twins, we discovered that most of our classes were the same as theirs. Our first class of the day as a group was the next level of math. We all made our way to the classroom and took our seats. We took the same seats as last semester with Alex and Maya sitting together, as Eric is my deskmate. 

"I hope our teachers are hot like last semester too," Eric says as he looks already mentally drained today.

Right after Eric says that we hear the professor come into the classroom. I let out a sigh seeing the red-headed milf, known as Ms. Cathay. While Eric looks very excited seeing her as our professor again. Alex looks annoyed but is hiding her annoyance well. I can see Maya looks like her normal uninterested self, but knowing what I know about her now, I can see she is checking out Ms. Cathay like her brother. Maya is just much better at it than him or at least not obvious about it. 

'Huh, how'd I not see this before… Maybe because I wasn't looking for it before,' I think to myself seeing Maya having the same fuck me eyes are her brother for Ms. Cathay. 

"I see some similar faces in the class today. As for those who don't know me, I am Professor Cathay, but you can call me Ms. Cathay. Welcome back everyone from winter break and I hope you all are ready for this semester," Ms. Cathay says giving her normal flirty smile while looking at everyone, but I feel her eyes linger on me longer than most. 

'Why God! Why!' I think seeing this milf gives a predatory look. 

After an hour-long refresher as our first class to remind everyone what they should know before having taken this class it ends. Then we all head slowly to our next class, but I can feel Cathay's eyes following me as I leave the classroom. 

"Now I wish they informed us of our professor before we took the class! Out of all the professors, why did we get her again?!" Alex says very annoyed at Cathay's subtle flirting with me. 

"Stop complaining! I'd rather have her than some old person who'd put me asleep," Eric says as Alex just glares at him. Maya rolls her eyes hearing her brother, but now I can see she subtly agrees with him since she enjoys Cathay as eye candy. 

"That's 'cause she isn't trying to get into your pants," I say to Eric who gives me a faked taken-back look. 

"I'll have you know she has been flirting with me ever since we started here!" Eric says with a joking voice knowing Cathay has the hots for me for some reason. 

"Can we just get to our next class please," Maya says before Alex can throttle Eric on our first day.
