Cassie Natalie Kat Maddy and BB were having a girl's night before Natalie had her baby and wouldn't be able to hang out without her daughter as much.

Nate and Natalie had to go get a car seat and a diaper bag because they had forgot to get it. But Nate drove Natalie over to Cassie and came in for a second. He was leaving but when Natalie Maddy Kat and Cassie walked out with him, they saw Rue by the door.

They all hugged her as Suze walks down the steps. Suze was asking her about her NA meetings how they were before Rue ran upstairs to the bathroom.

Suze called Leslie, Rue's mom, and Maddy, Kat, Natalie, Nate, Lexi, Suze, and Leslie waited for Rue to come down.

"Ah, fuck. It'll never fucking end." Rue said when she walked downstairs and sat in the top step "This can't make you feel good, Rue. Living like this. Lying to the people you love, being mean to the people you love. This can't make you feel good about yourself." Leslie said.

"I don't care. Just fucking leave, me alone, please." Rue begged "I know you're in pain." Leslie said walking closer to the steps.

"You have no fucking idea, Mom." Rue said, "Let's get back into the car, and let me take you to the hospital." Leslie said as Natalie walked out of the kitchen.

"I can't get clean. I can't do that shit forever." Rue said "You don't have to. Just... take it one day at a time." Cassie said and looked over at Maddy Kat and Natalie

Rue looked at Cassie then glanced at Nate who had his arm wrapped around Natalie "Hey, Nate?" Rue said "yeah?"

"I have a question for you." Rue said and glanced at Natalie "what?" Nate asked, "do you ever plan on telling Natalie about you and Cassie?" Rue asked.

Nates arm dropped from Natalie's waist. "Or do you plan on telling her?" Rue asked Cassie "what, what, what are you talking about?" Cassie asked laughing nervously.

"Well, I guess it not what happened between you two. But do you plan on tell her how you've been trying to get with her boyfriend?" Rue asked Cassie.

Natalie stepped closer to Maddy and Kat not wanting to be near Nate. "I haven't." Cassie said and then looked at Natalie "I haven't." She said again.

"What are you talking about?" Natalie asked "Oh, I just... I, I saw her get in his truck, and then, try to kiss him but he pushed her away, before I rode off. That was, like, what, like, uh...Uh...Like a month ago? And then I noticed she was trying to get his attention at school." Rue said.

"Are you kidding me?" Natalie said, Cassie looked between her Maddy and Nate "Cass, that's, like... really bad." Kat said.

"You're trying to get with Nate? Are you kidding me?" Natalie asked again "No, I... I don't even know why she would say that." Cassie stuttered.

"You're lying!" Natalie said "Yeah, can we just table this conversation?" Suze asked "No, no. You expect me to stand here next to my best friend who's been lying to me about trying to get with my boyfriend! I'm going to beat your ass. You are so fucking lucky I'm pregnant right now."

"No, there is no need to beat anybody ass, okay, because we are having an intervention! Stop it!" Suze said "Natalie..." Nate started to say but she cut him off "you-you don't even talk to me right now."

"I'm begging you. Let's just get into the car." Leslie said looking at rue "Mom... I can't." Rue said.

"Oh, you're crying!" Maddy said Natalie watched her walk over to Cassie "No... Maddy!" Kat tried to stop her "You're fucking crying, you fucking bitch! You're the one who's hurt? You're the most self-centered, idiotic person I have ever fucking met! You've been trying to get with Natalie's boyfriend, and you're the one who's fucking crying? Are you fucking kidding me?" Maddy's said.

Natalie walked over to her "Let's just do this later." Kat said "Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I don't give a shit who's trying to get with who, okay? If you're going to keep talking about it, get out of the room." Leslie said "Yeah, absolutely. You're being an animal." Suze said.

Everyone started to talk over each other "I don't even know why you're believing her. She's a drսg addict." Cassie said looking at Natalie when everyone stopped talking.

"She may be an addict, but she would make something up like that especially if she knew it was going to hurt me. How long has this been going on? Be honest." Natalie said.

"Natalie, let's just do it later." Kat said "Kat, please shut the fuck up! How long has it been going on?" Natalie asked looking between Nate and Cassie

"Listen, let's just get into the car, okay?" Leslie said "Rue? When was this?" Natalie asked "The car thing was right after New Year's. The school thing was around the same time." Rue said.

Then everything clicked for Natalie. The way Cassie was worried when Nate was in the hospital. Why Cassie was talking about how bad of a person Nate was for no reason. She been trying to break them up.

Natalie looked at Cassie when she remembered their last conversation about relationships "Nate was the one you were talking about at our birthday party." Natalie said she clenched her jaw and Cassie ran upstairs Maddy ran up after her to stop her and Natalie look at Nate before walking up stairs.

Kat and Maddy were by the bathroom door "is she in there?" Natalie asked they nodded "Cassie open the fucking door. I just want to understand this. I'm pregnant I'm not going to fucking hit you." Natalie said as Nate walked in the room.

"Get her out." Natalie said looking at Nate "Cassie come out. You know her she's not going to leave until you come out." Nate said.

Cassie had tears in her eyes but opened the door when she heard Nate. Natalie laughed in disbelief.

"What the fuck is wrong with you. See Cassie, I could've maybe let it go if they were sexual feelings, maybe if it was a small little crush, because those feelings can go away over time." Natalie said but Cassie cut her off "Natalie I'm sorry, I feel really bad."

"You're not fucking sorry. You don't feel bad. If you were sorry, you would've told me about it. But you didn't. When did this start?" Natalie asked looking between Nate and Cassie

"At the New Years party." Nate said "you've been doing this shit for over 3 months? I'm about to give birth to your daughter. When did you plan on telling me? While I was in labor? While I was giving birth? After I gave birth?" Natalie asked with tears in her eyes.

"How could you fucking do this to me? I would never fucking do this to you." Natalie said her voice was cracking.

"Was it worth it?" Natalie asked whipping the tear that fell Cassie didn't say anything. "I'm going to beat your ass. After I give birth to my daughter and I heal, I'm going to beat you ass until you are so fucking unrecognizable. I promise you Cassie and you're not going to be hiding behind Nate like you're doing right now either." Natalie said then walked out of the room.
