"We're To Young Simon"
Chapter 1
"It says wait 10 minutes. I really hope I'm wrong," Jeanette said as she waited in the bathroom. Diiiiinnnnnnnngggg!!!!!! "I guess times up. Oh my this is absolutely horrible. What will Simon say," Jeanette let out an exasperated sigh. She then broke down into tears when the thought of how she and Simon had just ruined their lives. She collected herself and headed out of the bathroom on her way to the Seville home where her long time boyfriend Simon lived.
Jeanette took her time climbing the steps that entered into the Seville home. When she finally gathered the strength to knock on the door Simon's brother Alvin was just leaving the house to go play basketball with a group of his friends.
"Hi Jeanette what's up? Simon is upstairs in his room. You can head on up."
"Oh okay Alvin um I guess I'll see you later on then."
"Cool Jeanette see ya."
As Jeanette climbed the stairs to Simon's room she contemplated how she was going to tell him what was going on. She reached the door that she knew instinctively was Simon's because she had been to his room what felt like millions of times. Jeanette knocked lightly on Simon's door.
"Simon it's Jeanette may I come in?"
"Sure Jeanette. What's up babe?"
"Um I just came to tell you something really important Simon."
"Okay but uh let me go first Jeanette. I got excepted into Harvard."
"What but you're just in the 15 even though you are graduating early isn't age some type of factor."
"I know isn't that great."
"Um, yea I guess. It's just that well uh Simon I'm pregnant."
"What did you just say Jeanette?"
Simon fell onto the bed with a thud as the realization of what Jeanette had just said sunk in.
"Simon I said I'm pregnant. I took a test today. It had two blue lines and the box said that means I'm pregnant."
"What Jeanette how can that be we were careful and we only did it once."
"I guess we messed up some kind of way."
"What are we gonna do."
"I guess we'll have to figure something out."
Jeanette fell into Simon arms with sobs racking her body. While Simon sat there shell shocked with silent tears streaming down his face. Both Simon and Jeanette realized that they were going to eventually have to tell their parent, and that thought scared them.
Chapter 2
"What," screamed Dave and Ms. Miller together after Simon and Jeanette had finished telling the about Jeanette's pregnancy.
"What were you two thinking," Ms. Miller screeched
"Oh you know what they were thinking," replied Dave
"We honestly didn't mean for this Mom it was an accident we only did it once and we used protection too," said Jeanette talking to her mother.
"Well Jeanette you two are to young to have even been thinking of that."
"Mom it was an accident. Are you guys angry at Simon and I"
"No we aren't angry with you we are just very disappointed in you guys," answered Dave.
"We're disappointed in ourselves to. We're supposed to be the smartest out of both families we're supposed to be the smartest in both families so how could we have been so stupid," said Simon speaking up for the first time since they had told their parents Jeanette was pregnant. "I mean what are we gonna do with a kid we're only 15. I think that maybe Jeanette should have an abortion."
"What Simon this the first I've heard of this. Why would you wanna get rid of our baby," asked Jeanette.
"Well Jeanette our only other options would be to put the baby up for adoption or get married. I don't want a kid out there I don't know and we're to young to get married," said Simon in a strained voice. "It's not that I don't wanna marry you but I just got excepted into Harvard and I cant do that with a wife and a kid."
"Simon, if that's how you feel you go ahead to Harvard and me and your baby will not be waiting when you get home," Jeanette squeaked in a hurt voice.
"Well Jeanette we just need to think this over before we make any rash decisions," Simon said calmly.
"Whatever I'm going home. See ya at dinner mommy. Bye Dave. Simon could you walk me home," Jeanette said.
"Sure, I'll be right back dad," said Simon.
Chapter 3
"Um Eleanor, Brittney I have something," Jeanette said.
"Well what is it Jeanette, and make it fast I have a date with Alvin in an hour and it's gonna take that long just for me to get ready," said Jeanette's sister Brittney in her usual self centered way.
"Don't pay her any attention you know how she is when it comes to Alvin," said Eleanor the youngest of the Miller girls and also the most caring.
"Well um I'm pregnant I just found out today," said Jeanette.
"What Jeanette I clearly didn't hear you correctly 'cause it sounded like you just said you're pregnant," said Brittney
"This is probably the first and last time I will ever agree with Brittney, but I think I must be mistaken too," said Eleanor in an odd tone.
"No you guys aren't mistaken I'm pregnant by Simon. I'm really scared 'cause Simon was just accepted into Harvard and he wants me to have an abortion," sobbed Jeanette crying for what felt like the hundredth time today.
"It's okay Jeanette, Britt and I will always be there for you just like we've always been," said Eleanor as she and Brittney rushed over and hugged Jeanette
The Next Day
"Hello this is Jeanette Miller calling to make an appointment with OBGYN. I've recently found out I'm pregnant and I need a check-up to see if everything is okay." I'm glad that's over. Thought Jeanette. Jeanette picked up her cell and called Simon to tell him about the appointment.
"Hello"
"Hey Jeanette what's up."
"I was just calling to tell you I scheduled a doctor's appointment for tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. do you think you can make."
"Eight well I kinda have a meeting with a Harvard representative tomorrow. I was gonna see if we could move into an apartment while I go to Harvard."
"Si how are we going to afford an apartment, and yesterday you were talking about abortion. What's changed from yesterday to today."
"Well I thought about how we left off yesterday and maybe we should uh get a place together on the East coast."
"Get a place together wasn't it you just yesterday that said we were to young."
"Well yes Jeanette, but I thought over what you said about leaving me last night and I don't want to lose you or my child."
"Oh okay um well I really would like for you to come with me tomorrow but if you can't I understand."
"Jeanette I'm coming to get you so we can go get some dinner. I'll be there in about 20 minutes."
"Okay Si I'll see you when you get here. Bye."
"Bye Jean love you."
"Love you too," said Jeanette heading to the bathroom to put on her make up to go on her date with Simon.
Chapter 4
"So Jeanette what do you think we should do about the baby or pssibly babies 'cause you know us chipmunks breed in litters," said Simon to Jeanette while eating his shrimp.
"Oh god Simon please don't say anything like multiples I think I might die if I had to go through having more than one. How would we take care of them," said Jeanette horrified at the thought of a multiple birth.
"Well for one I could get a day job or something before the baby comes, and you could work on trying to get into Harvard next semester. For the time being you could enroll in a high school near by."
"Well first of all I don't think Dave and Mrs. Miller would go for that whole teenager shacking up on the other side of the country. Plus we are just a wee bit young to get married or take care of ourselves let alone a kid and given our species there's a strong possibility of there being more than one kid. Tell me Si how are we going to support a family that could possibly be very very large. Give me some of your ideas."
"Well for one Jeanette I could get a job and after the baby is born you could get a job. Maybe the college even has a daycare facility for single parents. Or I could stay here in California you and the baby and go to UCLA and work a burger king job and we can live in a small apartment."
"Well Simon I wouldn't want you to do any thing that would hurt our child's future. So I do think it would be best for you to go to college, but me I think I may wanna stay in California where I have a strong famiy support system. Do you really think it would be smart for us to split our family up for some college. Your education is important, but I think that maybe since you're graduating early and you did apply to colleges out here you could go to one of them."
"That is an option, but I don't think that's the option that I want Jeanette. If that's what you think would be best for us then I will honestly consider it."
"Well Si Im a little tired and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. To see how many there are, and seeing how chipmunks only have 2 month pregnancy it we had sex about two and a half week's ago this kid is coming pretty soon compared to a human pregnancy."
"Okay Jean I think I'll postpone my meeting with the Harvard rep. so I can come with you to the doctor's. Let's go babe."
