"So, I take it he's ecstatic to be a daddy huh?" Nina asks, taking a bite out of the chocolate chip cookies we just pulled out of the oven moments ago.

While we were making the cookies, I told Nina all about today. I was the first one to find out since I took Valerie to her appointment when the doctor confirmed it. I was so happy to finally be able to tell Seth and not have to hold it in anymore. It was rough all week avoiding him in the house. I haven't had to tiptoe around my own home since I was little and trying to spy on my parents playing Santa.

"Yeah. Oh man, it made me tear up." I admit. I take a cookie off of the plate and take a bit. The chocolate melts into my mouth as I chew on the yummy chewiness. "Mmm these cookies taste like heaven." I chime.

"Right?" Nina says as she grabs another.

Jake leans against the doorway, folding his arms over his chest and inhales. "Cookies smell like they are done."

I look at Nina and we both smile. I grab the plate and hold it out for him to take a cookie. I guess I should have known he would take more than one, as I watch him grab five.

"So, tell me, what are you two little hooligans up to tonight?" He questioned.

Nina grabs the plate with the rest of the cookies with one hand, and with the other she grabs my hand and pulls me towards her room.

"Oh, you know, just our nails, hair, and girl talk." She replies giggling.

I look back as Jake shakes his head and laughs. "Pfft, yeah. Just." He mutters, finger quoting 'just'.

"Man, Damon is so stinking hot. I have always been a Delena fan. I mean, Stefan is cute too but Damon and Elena's love make this show." Nina says while we sit on her bed watching The Vampire Diaries and paint our toes.

I ponder over her choice of words momentarily before speaking. "True, but Damon pisses me off at times. Stefan too though, I suppose. I stand behind that one statement though,"-Nina looks up from painting the highlighter colored polish on her toe nails, "you know. The whole, if she truly loved the first one, she wouldn't have fell in love with the second. But I am a Delena fan too." I make sure to add. Nina giggles and goes back to painting her nails.

"Well I am a Darlett fan myself."

"What show is that?" I ask her.

Nina smirks. "Darlett. As in Dean and Scarlett."

I can't help the heat that rushes to my cheeks and the smile that spreads. Darlett. I like that. I smile at Nina and shrug my shoulders, and we both end up laughing.

A couple of hours go by, episodes later and we are on the verge of falling asleep. My eyelids are heavy as I lay on my stomach, my arms crossed under the fluffy pillow that is holding my head. I can see Nina's feet lying next to me as we lay opposite of each other.

"Softball tryouts start next week. You are going right?" Nina mumbles. Her voice heavy with sleep.

"I don't know." I think about everything my brother and Dean have been doing for me to get back out there. Nina has been trying too and at least I would have her out there with me if I played. "You know what, I am." I say with confidence.

"Good." She mumbles again. "Now I can go to sleep dreaming about Damon and what I would do to that man, such as sit on his face."

I know she is joking when she says that because she isn't that type of girl, but I can't help but be astounded and a little grossed out by her vulgar words. I open my eyes and playfully shove her feet out of my face. She must have been in the middle of adjusting herself, because when I do this, she falls off of the bed with a THUMP when she makes contact with the floor. We both burst out in laughter, to the point where we both are in tears.

Monday morning hits us all to early, but I am ready. We are not following the plan that we initially had, as we all agree with my brother, but we did decide to make an entrance that Phoebe will surely hate. I throw my banana peel away after eating and brush my teeth quickly. Dean will be here any moment. I check my outfit once more in the mirror. I decided on wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, my black ankle boots, and a cute top that Nina gave to me the other night. It is a sleeveless, black and white pin striped shirt that has a high collar. Happy with my outfit choice, I grab my school bag along with my softball bag that I put all of my gear into last night. The doorbell rings and I know it is time to kick today's ass. 

"You ready?" Dean asks me.

He holds my gaze, waiting for my reply. I nod and he brings my hand to his and kisses my knuckles, before opening up the jeep door.

Dean intertwines our fingers and holds my hand as we walk into the double doors of Douglas High. We make our entrance and everyone acts normal as we walk down the hall. That is, until I spot Phoebe and her minions to the right. Her jaw is about to touch the floor as she watches us walk right by.

From the corner of my eye, I watch as Phoebe's eyes follow us, while her minions are completely dumbfounded. I almost want to laugh at the site of Phoebe. She looks like her head might explode at any moment. She is so red and her brows furrowed.

Nina pops up out of nowhere, leaning against the locker. "She is absolutely freaking out right now." Nina says excitedly, clapping her hands.

We all look over our shoulder and Phoebe is staring blankly into her opened locker. I can see her knuckles turning white from here, as she grips onto the locker door. I giggle. This is much better than some petty revenge and adding to the fire that is high school drama. Seth was right. He always is, but I won't ever admit that to him.

Dean chuckles and then looks back at me. "I am going to go find Dex. I will see you in class beautiful." He smiles, putting one hand on the locker and bends down to kiss me. "Nina, I will see you later."

Nina smiles back and my attention remains on him as he walks away. His denim jeans and his black long sleeve look so amazing on him. I love when he wears black shirts because of the way it accentuates his blue eyes. That, ladies and gents, is all mine. And ladies, you make look but you certainly may not touch.

"Incoming." Nina says, breaking me of my stare.

I look to her and follow her eyes, and see Phoebe and her minions strutting towards us. This ought to be good.

"Well, well, well. Looks like you took back my sloppy seconds. Have fun with that. I know I did. But of course, I did teach him everything I know."

Before I can speak, I hear Nina make sniffing noises. Sniff. Sniff. "You smell that? I smell...skanks. Be gone."

To my surprise, one of Phoebe's minions, Anna, laughs with Nina and I. "You will regret that. Both of you little bitches." Phoebe looks at both of us up and down, and with a flick of her hair, her and her mob walk away slowly.

"Oh, and Scarlett, have fun fucking my sloppy seconds." She calls out.

I flip her off and then hear one of the many students that have now heard her remark, yell out, "Give it a rest already you jealous nut job."

The school hallway fills with laughter, including my own.
