Sorry about the delay guys. School's a bit of a hassle, but I should be able to update a bit more over winter break.

Now, you should know this already, but Disney owns Phineas and Ferb. I know. They have no clue how lucky they are.

Candace stared at her phone, the screen glowing dimly in her room. She had dialed Jeremy's number, now all she had to do was press Call.

"Come on, Candace," she mumbled, her finger hovering above the button. "Just press the button. Just…"

'Trouble sleeping, dear?" her mother asked, poking her head into the room.

"No," the teen replied. "Just…just trouble."

Her mom walked into her room, sitting down on the bed beside her. "Candace, honey, calm down. He's not going to be mad. And if he is, then he's not worth the trouble."

"I know, but…but…"

Her mom shushed her, taking the phone away. "Just get some rest, then call him in the morning."

Begrudgingly, Candace lay down on her bed. Maybe a bit of sleep would do her good.

Her dreams that night were anything but peaceful. She found herself on what appeared to be a treadmill, running as fast as she could away from something.

Looking over her shoulder, she saw that something to be the giant floating baby head her brothers had built a couple of years back. No matter how fast she ran, it seemed to get closer, its mouth forming the words "Mama, mama, mama…"

Suddenly, Jeremy was standing in front of her. "Hey Candace."

"Oh, hey Jeremy. What's happening?"

His expression took on a bit of a somber tone. "Candace, I"ve been thinking, and well…it's not going to work out."

"Wha…what do you mean?"

"I mean our relationship, Candace. I just can't deal with it, what with you being pregnant and all."

"So you're…you're…"

"Yep. I'm breaking up with you, Candace. Good luck."

Slowly she sank to the ground, Jeremy fading away before her eyes. Looking over her shoulder, she saw the giant floating baby head coming closer. Her head sinking, she let it overtake her.

Candace shot up, gasping for breath. She looked at the clock on her night stand. Two a.m.

Falling back onto her mattress, she quietly sighed.

There was a gentle knocking at the door. "Yeah?" she called over. Ferb poked his head in.

"Candace, is everything quite alright?"

"No," she replied, pulling her knees up to her chest.

He walked over, sitting on the edge of her bed. "I heard you from the hall. Bad dreams?"

"Yeah. I just…God, I'm just so worried! I mean, how's Jeremy going to react? I mean, there're like three, four colleges interested in him! He might just think I'll be holding him back."

"Candace," Ferb calmly put in. "I know Jeremy. He is not one to get mad, or to drop someone because he thinks they're burdening him. He loves you Candace, even if he's too scared to admit it."

Candace looked over at Ferb. "…he…he really said that? That he loved me?"

Ferb smiled a bit. "Last winter, when we made that ice castle. He was helping me chainsaw some of the ramparts. When he saw you walk by, he sighed and said 'Man I love that girl.'"

Candace just stared at him, mouth open. Ferb got off the bed and began to walk out the door. Before he left, he turned back to her. "Don't worry, Candace. Your baby will have the best mummy and daddy a kid could ask for."

"Thanks Ferb." As he closed the door, Candace lay back down on her bed, a smile creeping across her lips.

In a tree across the street, a figure slowly removed his headphones. Candace was pregnant? And she hadn't told Jeremy yet?

A jock like Jeremy, he'd probably believe any trash a genius such as himself fed him. He had all the facts he needed. Now, just embellish a couple of things, doctor up a couple of recordings, have a chat with that cretin, and the girl of his dreams would fall straight into his arms.

At the crack of dawn, Jeremy set out from his house to the high school track. He had a full day, with laps in the morning, weights from noon until three, then hopefully enough time to go see Candace and hang out with Candace and her brothers.

As he started jogging, another teenager came up next to him. He was wearing thick glasses, a polo shirt, and had a rather ridiculous looking haircut. "Hey…Jeremy," he panted. 'Nice…day…for…a run, huh?"

Jeremy gave him a sideways glance. "Do I know you?"

"Can…can we stop?"

"Sure, I guess." The two came to a halt, Jeremy eying him rather suspiciously while the strange boy was doubled over, panting for breath. Finally regaining it, he straightened up and held out his hand.

"Name's Albert, the Truth Detector."

Jeremy thought over this a second, then nodded. "Oh yeah, you were in charge of the school newspaper. Nice work on the recycling piece."

"Ah, one of my finer works. Anyway, I have something that I really need to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"Well, you see, I was off picking up my brother from Candace's house yesterday, and well…oh, how do I put this…"

"Put what? What are you talking about?"

Albet sighed. "Well, Candace was talking to her friend. I heard a bit of it. She said how she was pregnant-"

"WHAT?" Jeremy yelled.

"Yeah, I know. Anyway, she said how you were probably going to get signed to a big soccer team. They said how if you two got married, then stayed together until you got on a team, then she could divorce you and get a bunch of alimony checks."

'N-no," Jeremy stuttered. 'There's…there's no way Candace would say that!"

Albert pulled out his phone. "Here. I had an interview with a supposed Bigfoot witness before I went there and I forgot to turn this off."

Turning up the volume, he hit the play button. There was a bit of jostling, but Jeremy could make out the voices clearly enough.

"So, Candace, you're pregnant?"

"Eyup. And I am going to be rich! Soon as Jeremy gets on a big team, I'll divorce his sorry, stupid ass, then get big alimony checks for life!"

"Wow. He is not going to see that one coming…"

Albert ended the recoding. "I'm sorry, Jeremy, but I figured you had a right to know."

"No," he mumbled, holding his head in his hands. He then looked up, fury in his eyes. The teenager then ran off, headed straight for his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend's house.

As he ran off, Albert grinned. Everything was falling exactly into place. "As it should…a be."

And there's Chapter three. Hope you enjoy it, and write in he review box about how you enjoyed it.
