It would have been a definite understatement to say that Jenny was lost without Charlie, but she hadn't been surprised really by the way things turned out. It was probably best that she was alone anyway. Some part of her had always known that it wouldn't last forever, no one had ever stuck around as long as Chuck had, and everybody had an eventual breaking point. It just pained her to know she had been the one to push Charlie to that point. Harsh words had been said, tears cried, but it couldn't change anything now and Jenny didn't even really hold a grudge against her ex-girlfriend for breaking up with her. She had always told Charlie that she was a bad girlfriend, and now this was proof. Jenny hadn't even seen or heard from Charlie in over a month now, and she knew that among other things, it probably had the most to do with how they parted ways and her rapidly growing belly. Which, of course, had been half the reason for their break-up. It wasn't a problem she could easily fix, and she couldn't blame Charlie for bailing. On top of everything else she put the younger girl through, Jen knew as soon as she found out that she was pregnant that it would be the final straw. What young star athlete wanted a washed up pregnant ex-cheerleader from a trailer park for a girlfriend?

Sure, some part of her brain had been hoping that Charlie would take it well, that they'd just deal with her problems like a team as they always did. Charlie always took care of her, even when her own family didn't, and some part of Jenny had desperately hoped this could be the same. They could have the baby together, and they'd just work it out, like always. It wasn't that simple though, and Jenny realized now that blurting it out during a fight at a party when Charlie was drunk probably wasn't the best way to tell her girlfriend she was pregnant. Not to mention the fact that she was pretty sure it was Apple's, out of all her friends that could have been the father. The one Charlie could stand the least. She hadn't meant for any of it to happen like that.

For all of her indiscretions and years of unplanned hook-ups, Jenny had always been careful. She had only had a handful of pregnancy scares, and she took her birth control pills like clockwork every day. But nothing was a hundred percent, especially when one got as wasted as Jenny did every weekend, and things never worked out as planned. She had always wanted a baby, being a better mother than her own mom had been her dream for years. She had been jealous of Charlie's friends and their baby since Tatum had been pregnant, but this wasn't how Jenny had wanted it to happen. Babies were expensive and exhausting. Charlie was supposed to marry her one day, and make her stop destroying herself, and they could settle down and have a real family. She wasn't supposed to be alone. So much for that though, thanks to her. It was hard not to blame herself everytime she looked in the mirror, and she hated looking at how huge she was getting anyway. Her protruding belly looked ridiculous on her tiny frame, like her back could barely support her. And her back did give protest, it was killing her every day now. Cheerleading was out of the question, had been for months, even though she had been so excited to join the university team. She had gone to university just to cheer, practically. For cheer and for Charlie.
