Moms Will Always Understand If You Don't Listen To Them

"I don't know what's wrong Toby. I haven't done anything bad. It's like she hates me now..." They were in Toby's room, supposed to be doing homework, but got distracted by the tv.

"Girls are confusing,"

"Maybe she found someone else that's buffer and hotter than me. Do you think she did?"

"I'm not qualified to judge guys' hotness,"

"Maybe I smell bad. Dude, smell me," he opened his arms.

"I'm not smelling you,"

"My future with Emma depends on it. Just a little whiff," Toby slowly go out of his chair and smelt J.T..

"You smell normal."He sat back down and glared at the glowing box. "Why don't you just give her a call?"

"Smart idea, but what could it be?"

"Feminine problems. It'a always feminine problems."

"How do you know?"

"Kate and her stupid soap operas. Don't ask."

+!!+

"Emma, you have to tell your parents," Manny remarked as Emma lay sprawled on the bed.

"I don't know,"

"They will totally understand, espcially Spike,"

"But I don't want to disappoint them,"

"Emma, you can't avoid this forever,"

"When did you become so wise?"

"I've been watching soaps, and my own experiences,"

"Well, I have to figure out how I'm going to have to raise a baby on my own while still going to college,"

"You don't know that,"

"Yeah, he will. Trust me."

"Look Em, you can't just guess. You have to actually talk to him and see how he feels. Look what happened with Craig, he was cool with the idea, even a little more excited than me."

"I will, when the time is right and I am ready."

+!!+

Emma decided to go for a walk to clear her head. She wanted to tell J.T., but a part of her said that she should wait.

Well, she didn't really know what to do im a situation like this. She walked by the park and saw the swings.

"Daddy, push me harder! I want to touch the sky!"

"Okay my little angel!" He pushed the little girl harder . She watched as the little girl ascended into the air and touch the sky...

"Ow!" Emma rubbed her eyes and flashed back to reality. "I should not be looking directly into the sun.." she mumbled, continuing on.

She kept walking and saw a lot of single moms struggling with their two or three children.

'Is that what I want?' she thought to herself. One mother looked like she was having the worst time, two different kids were pulling her in different directions and the other was crying. She was so caught up in the thought of having to raise that many kids on her own when a guy called her attention.

"Hey babe. Haven't seen you here in a while," the guy smiled. Emma looked up and saw the guy from the ravine, all that time ago. The tall one with dark hair that she thought was a little cute, but she had been looking for Jay.

"How did I get here?"

"I don't know, but I can lead you to the van,"

"Ew, no get away from me," she pushed him away from her.

"What's wrong? You used to come here all the time," Emma started walking away and he followed her.

"Well, I've changed."

"Change isn't always for the better, ya know?" he smiled his toothy grin.

"When you're infected with a disease, things change,"

"That sucks. But me, I'm as clean as a baby's butt," he grinned and Emma shivered. "By the way, yours is hot," he leaned in closer to her.

"Why won't you leave me alone?" she pushed him away again and ran home.

+!!+

"Mom, can we talk?" Emma asked her mom at about 10pm, just like Manny suggested.

"Sure honey. What is it?"

"Well, it's about why I've been sick for the past few days,"

"Do you need me to go to the doctors' with you?"

"No mom." She took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

Spike turned from feeding Jack and looked her right in the eye.

"Don't be mad mom!"

"Are you serious?" Emma nodded and sat down on the couch.

"Pregnant? Emma, everything we talked about was supposed to prevent this," Emma hated the tone in her voice: disappointment. "I told you about all the struggle I went through just to raise you and now you're in the same position. What did I do wrong?"

"It's not your fault mom. I stopped talking the birth control last summer," she mumbled.

"Why?"

It was actually one day at the mall, before the shooting and everything was messed up. Emma was shopping alone, looking for something cute to wear for no reason. She passed glowing store signs and tons of couture labels she could never afford. She finally made her way into Blue Notes. She picked out a skirt and walked over to the cash register.

"That'll be 8.25," she spoke. Emma handed her a ten dollar bill then hesitated.

"Wait, I think I have 25 cents," she rummaged through her bag, mixing up all the contents until she found the quatre. She handed it to the cashier, took her bag, and headed out of the store. She wasn't looking up, she was trying to rearrange some of the stuff in her ourse when she bumped into Amy and all the contents flew out, including her birth control.

"You naughty naughty girl. I thought you were different," Amy laughed.

"Emma on birth control? That's a joke!" Alex joined.

"What 'till everyone at school gets a load of this!"

"Please don't!"

"Why not?"

"My mom gave it to me to regulate my periods. I'm not having sex."

"That's a load of bull," Amy proclaimed, hoping to get some attention.

"Please!"

"Fine, but don't ever say we didn't tell, or we will tell," Alex announced before leaving. Emma was left there, embarrased and angry at her mom for making her use it.

"Because it gave me headaches and cramps and I thought they were useless and embarassing," she partially-lied.

"Honey, you have to tell me this stuff," Emma nodded and Spike sat down on the couch beside her.

"Okay, well, are you sure?"

"Yes, I've already taken two tests."

"Then we have to take you to the doctors'. Who's the father?"

"J.T.,"

"Does he know?"

"I don't want to tell him,"

"Why? You don't want him to think you're not perfect?"

"Yeah," she mumbled back, surprised how much her mom knew about her.

"I felt the same way, but it's better you tell him now then when you're in the hospital giving birth," Spike hugged her daughter and went back to clean Jack up.

"We'll talk about this in the morning, okay sweetie?"

"Okay mom." Emma felt a little weight lifted off her shoulders, and went to bed peacefully.

+!!+

The following morning, she decided to talk to Snake since Spike and Jack were going to a birthday party.

"Hey Emma ,what's wrong? Your mom mentioned you wanted to tell me something.

"Yeah...well...I'm pregnant."

"Oh...well, I didn't know,"

"Well, I really wanted to-"

"I'll be back," Snake announced before leaving to go to the washroom.Emma sat down on the couch and waited for him

An Hour Later

"Hey, you're back"

"Sorry, I had a little heart-burn," he mumbled.

"I'm sorry about what I had to say, but I can make my own decisions. Are you listening?"

"I have to get lunch started,"

"No! You just can't handle the fact that I'm a sexual being with needs! We can't avoid it forever, especially not now."

He stood there and took it all in.

"You can't handle the fact that I'm not perfect, and you're going to be a grampa," she rudely spat. Emma stood from the chair and stormed to the basement.

Later that day

Emma walked upstairs to see Snake at the table. She glanced at him, but he didn't move.

"Spike said she'd be running late,"

"Okay," she stood beside the sink and sighed.

"Am I really as mean and rude as I think I am?"

"No, you are none of those things,"

"I sorry for what I said earlier, it was really rude," she spoke.

"You were right. I've known you since you were in diapers and just finding this out was a huge wake-up call you aren't a little girl anymore,"

"I never thought things would happen this way,"

"Well, it's a part of life, and Spike and I will be there for you every step of the way." She smiled and hugged him, but wondered if a third person would be there to join.

Don't worry people. I'm building up to the torture, don't worry! Please review!!
