"Here's an empty table. Come on Waddles" Jessy teased. "How can you pick on me? I'm almost seven months pregnant, alone, hot, swollen and my back is killing me." Kat complained. "You forgot to mention President of the Whiners." Jessy teased as Kat took off her sunhat and swatted her. "Here's some iced tea. Kat are you all right, you looked flushed." Chele asked. "Yeah I'm fine, it's just, the baby is moving. As rotten as all this is, this is way cool. Wanna feel?" Kat asked and both girls placed their hand on her stomach. "Definitely a soccer star." Jessy predicted. "Soccer smoccer, She is dancing." Chele insisted. "Miss Masterson?" the waiter asked. "Over here." Kat said raising her hand and he delivered a message. "Cool. The photo shoot went so well he already has enough footage. We're done but are more than welcome to stay the whole weekend if we want." Kat shared. "Wonder if we can get tickets to their concert?" Jessy asked excitedly. "That would be great. Let's try. With the money we just made we can even pay scalper prices." Chele shared. "Forget it, I'm not going. You two go and have fun." Kat proclaimed. "Kat Masterson you Hansonized me. You have to come. It wouldn't be the same without you." Jessy pleaded. "No Jessy. I'm not waddling into their concert, pregnant, unmarried, alone and that's final. It's everything they are not and they never would put themselves in this situation." Kat said. "But Kat it's not like that you are some skanky ho, sleeping her way around, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Kat, I admire you for what you did." Chele said. "Me too. I only hope I'd be as cool as you if ever faced with a situation like that." Jessy agreed. "No, it doesn't make it right. Stop glamorizing it. I'm an unwed teenager, a frigging statistic." Kat said struggling to get up. "Don't baby me. I can get up still, I just have to think about what I'm doing." Kat announced, managing her way to her feet. "Chele and Jessy listen, the fact that Adam was dying doesn't make this right. I didn't love him, that's why I broke up with him and headed to New York to model. I felt guilty, so to feel less guilty, I lied to him, I told him I still loved him, that I was wrong to have left him. I let him make love to me because all I heard was if I'd never broken up with him, he wouldn't have gotten sick. He'd never been sick a day in his life, Captain of the football team, full athletic scholarships, he had everything going for him until I broke his heart and left him. His folks will never forgive me, they're convinced my leaving him caused so much stress, the cancer developed. And my folks are mad because I did what they suggested by couldn't even do that right. Look at me! Well serves me right. Now I can raise his child alone, both sets of parents hating me, blaming me and taking it out on the baby. Couldn't have screwed it up better if I'd done it on purpose." Kat said heading to the tennis courts. "Kat how could you have let him die a virgin, thinking he was unwanted and unloved. You're not that cold." Jessy insisted stopping Kat in her tracks. "Maybe not, but I'm learning to be now." Kat replied lowering her eyes, shaking her head no. "Miss Masterson" the tennis pro called out. "Here" Kat answered entering the courts for a friendly game as Jessy and Chele cried softly, unaware that the table behind them was also reduced to tears. "Diana I've never heard anything so.." Walker said taking her in his arms, crying together. "Hey this is Isaac, I need 3 tickets and passes for the show. I'm sorry, Please. This is important okay, really important." Isaac asked as Taylor grabbed the phone, "Ash, this is really important and make them good seats, I don't care if you have to go out and buy from the scalpers. Hear me. Do this for me and as soon as possible." Taylor asked. "Sure man, I'll get right on it. Three right and you're still at the Country Club right?" Ash asked. "Yeah man, that's where we're at. Ash, Thanks man." Taylor said hanging up. "Oh come on Waddles, you play better than that and you're playing for two now." Jessy hollered getting up and running to the fence. "That a girl cream him, he's only the Club pro. Don't be shy." Chele cheered, joining Jessy at the fence, high fiving and laughing as Kat nailed a backhand at the pro's feet that he couldn't return. "Now that's two of you serving, Ace it girl or let the baby." Jessy teased as Kat took the serve, doing exactly that. After her game, they returned to their table laughing and joking, "Your the lady on my magazine, see Mommy." a little girl said. "Wow you're good. I must look a mess from playing tennis and you think that's me." Kat replied pointing to her picture. "I'm right aren't I?" the little girl asked excitedly. "Yeah, you are right. That's how I look with a shower and my hair brushed." Kat laughed and then signed the magazine for her as Diana got up and headed into the Club House and the gift shop, searching the magazine rack and coming up with four magazines that featured Kat, returning to share with the family. "She's beautiful. Look at this Diana." Walker said as all the boys leaned his way to look. "Well hi there. You sure are cute little dude. Don't you think so girls?" Kat said of Mackie, unaware of who he was. "Quite the ladies man I'd say." Jessy said. "You are a heart breaker. You want something to drink?" Chele offered. "Me go swimming. You got a baby huh?" Mackie said looking at Kat, pointing at her belly. "Yeah little dude, I'm going to have a baby. You sure are smart aren't you?" Kat shared. "Mommy had a baby." Mackie informed them. "Oh you're a big brother then. You're awfully young to be a big brother." Kat said. "No me not. Me big boy. You go swimming lady?" Mackie asked. "Well actually, we were just talking about that. The girls are ready but I have to go change yet." Kat answered. "Now you have to swim Kat. You wouldn't want to disappoint him would you?" Chele asked, laying on the guilt. Kat headed to the locker room to change as Chele and Jessy met Mackie's babysitter and headed into the pool, still referring to him as little dude. Kat's appearance created quite a commotion and she was soon surrounded and autographing magazines as Ash arrived. "Wow did you see the looker? Who is she, she's surrounded by autograph seekers. I thought it was one of you at first, long blonde hair, until I got a glimpse of the butt, it definitely isn't one of you. Man is she built." Ash said taking a seat. "She's seven months pregnant Ash. You need your eyes checked." Taylor teased. "No way, she's wearing a string bikini and what I saw was in no way seven months pregnant." Ash insisted. "Well you must have been looking at someone else's butt." Isaac insisted showing him the magazines. "No Isaac that was her, I saw her face when she turned to talk to someone behind her. She's beautiful." Ash insisted. "Yeah she is. She's.." Isaac stopped in mid sentence, getting up from the table and walking off. "What's with him?" Ash asked, looking at the looks on everyone's faces, adding, "What is it? What?" "Ash it's sad, really sad." Taylor said hanging his head then relaying what they had overheard. "See, she's very pregnant." Zac said pointing at Kat. "Whoa. Very is right but wait until you get a gander at the flip side." Ash said as Isaac rejoined them asking for the tickets, placing them in the letter he had written, then inside an envelope addressing it to Kat Masterson, standing and walking to where Kat had sat, laying it on the table before heading back to his family. "Mommy can I have this and see if she'll sign it?" Avie asked. "I'll go with you sweetie, I think that would be nice." Walker said following her. "Hey sweetie." Kat said to Avie's huge smile. "Hi. You are so pretty." Avie said "Thanks sweetie. You are too." Kat replied. "Not like you. I like this one best. You look like a princess." Avie shared. "You think so huh? Thank you for saying so. Would you like me to sign that for you?" Kat offered. "Would you please?" Avie asked. "Sure let me go get a pen." Kat said turning. "Daddy has one." Avie called out. "Well Daddy,can I borrow it a moment please and sign a magazine for someone very special." Kat asked, taking the pen from Walker and signing the magazine cover and then the article inside. "Here you go sweetie. You just remember a pretty face isn't enough to make it in this world, an education is much more important than a clear complexion." Kat explained kissing Avie goodbye as the Club manager approached, asking about the girls performing, stopping Walker in his tracks. "I don't see why not, you guys have been so generous. But let me talk to the girls." Kat answered, calling Chele and Jessy. "Sure. Sounds great." the girls answered and they headed in to change. "Bye little dude, we have to go change, we're going to sing and dance for everyone." Jessy explained pulling him from the pool. "Man who's that with Mackie?" Ash asked. "That would be Jessy." Zac said not taking his eyes off her. "And the other?" Ash asked looking at Taylor. "Umm, yeah that would be Chele. They're real close to Kat, I don't think they're related though." Taylor answered not taking his eyes off of her. "Well boys, the plot thickens. They're going to perform for us." Walker shared. "Perform?" Isaac asked. "That's all the manager asked, was if they'd consider performing for the Club." Walker explained. "She said they would sing and dance for me." Mackie said returning to the family as workers set up a stage and sound system on the far side of the pool. "Folks you're in for a treat. Most of you have met our weekend guests while they were posing for the camera. Well what you might not know that besides beauty, the three are very talented and just for us are going to share their talent by taking on three of the top females in the music world, Brandy, Britney and Christina here they are Chele, Jessy and Kat performing, 'Almost Doesn't Count', 'Have You Ever', 'Baby One More Time', 'Sometimes' and 'Genie In A Bottle'. Take it away girls." the Club manager announced as the music started, and the three appeared, Kat in a spagetti strapped mini dress, Jessy and Chele in tight fitting capri and white midi blouses. "They sound great and move even better." Isaac said staring. "Man they can move." Taylor said staring. "Man, look at her." Zac said staring at Jessy as Walker dialed up the boys' representative, "Chris, you got to get up here. You won't believe them, they are absolutely fantastic. Listen." Walker said holding out his phone moving closer to a speaker. "Did you hear them? They move better than they sound. Get up here." Walker insisted. "Who are they Walker?" Chris asked. "Models." Walker answered. "What? You've been in the sun too long." Chris teased. "Are you coming, I'm going to approach them. If we're going to start up our own label and studio, this is exactly what we need. Their looks alone would sell, but they're talented to boot. You coming?" Walker asked. "I'm on my way. Don't let them get away." Chris said hanging up as Walker returned to the guys and ran it by them. "Great idea Dad. I'm all for it. It's the natural next step for us." Taylor said. "Okay by me. I think I'm going to like this." Zac said staring at Jessy. "Yeah that's the answer. Dad you've done it, that's it." Isaac proclaimed hugging him and slapping him on the back as the girls finished and the place filled with applause and screams.
