We Can Do This Together.

January 4th, which was today, marked Amber's 4 month period.

She was getting bigger, an you could really tell she was pregnant. She was currently doing her hair for the day, when she heard the door creak open.

Amber looked behind her, and saw her mom coming through the doorway.

"Mom!" She cried, and jumped into her mother's arms.

"Hey sweetheart, how are you?" Amber's mom, wondered.

"I'm great, what are you doing here?" She asked, breaking apart.

"Well, your father, and I came here too see you, and the baby." She smiled, gesturing to Amber's stomach, "And we wanted to meet this boyfriend of yours."

"Well, he's here, probably in his room. You know his names Jerome" She smiled, and her mom nodded, "Lets go downstairs and I will get him then."

"Oh god, I don't think I can do this." Jerome complained, and Amber sighed.

"Yes, you can. Just talk to them, and be polite." She explained.

"Oh, what am I supposed to say?" Jerome started, "Hi, I'm Jerome, an I'm the guy who knocked your 16 year old daughter up?"

"Your a jerk," Amber snapped, "No, just say, Hello Mr and Mrs. Millington. I'm Amber's boyfriend. Its nice to finally meet you."

"Okay,lets do this." Jerome sighed, and Amber smiled, taking his hand, and leading him toward the common room.

"So Jerome, do you see yourself staying, and supporting my daughter?" Mr. Millington asked, and Jerome nodded.

"Yes, sir. I am going to do everything I can to give her, and our baby a good life. As long as she will keep me, I'll stay." Jerome answered, and smiled at Amber.

"We wanted to give you both something," Dianna Millington explained, "Warren,"

"Oh yes," He started, "We wanted you to know that we support both of you, plus we like you Jerome, and we know you will stay."

"Stop with the speech Warren," Dianna scolded, and then let out a soft laugh, "We got you a credit account. This one is a different one then yours Amber. And we put $5,000 in it. You can use it for baby stuff, food, whatever. Just use it wisely. Your going to have a baby in a little more than 5 months. And just so you know, we will be putting more in monthly, until you both have graduated college with good jobs."

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much." Amber smiled, hugging both of them.

"Yeah, really. That is so amazing. Thank you, this will help so much." Jerome added, a shocked expression plastered to his face.

"You don't have to thank us. We want to help out with our grandkid, and with both of you. But we just ask that you wait a few more years to supply us with more grandchildren." Warren laughed, and he rose from his seat, along with Dianna, "We should be going."

After saying their goodbyes, Amber watched their car pull out of the driveway, tears running down her cheeks.

"Amber, baby. Whats wrong?" Jerome asked from the doorway, nd she turned to face him.

"I'm just so grateful. I didn't think we would be able to support our child, but look at us now." She started, "We have $5,000 as a start."

"I know." Jerome whuspered, and made his way to her, "I love you. babe. You don't know how much you and the baby mean to me."

Amber put her arms around him, "I used to think of our baby as a mistake. Now, I realize it was meant to happen. We will love it whether its a girl or a boy, no matter what."

Jerome didn't know what to say, this was his world right here, and he wouldn't change it for the world.

"I'm glad you were the one I chose to be my first time. Not Mick, or Alfie. Theres one difference between all of you guys, your the only one I love." She stated, before drifting off to sleep.
