(Rachel's point of view)
Copper was acting like he didn't even know me. I put on a good front but, it really hurt. I have real feelings for him. By the time Nathan and Haley's wedding was over I was pissed. Copper took off I ran after him. Then he turned and looked at me again like a stranger.
"Rachel stop following me." Cooper screamed.
"I need to talk to you." I screamed back at him.
"What Rachel?" He asked annoyed.
"I'm pregnant Coop." I answered softly.
"It's not mine." Cooper responded.
"Yes it is Cooper." I said knowing he would do this.
"I'm not in any shape to take care of a child especially with a child." Cooper said.
"Well sorry about that but, it's your responsibility too." I said trying to stay calm.
"How much money do you need?" He asked.
"I'm not getting rid of our baby." I yelled pissed at him for even suggesting it.
"Sorry Rach." He said and then he ran off.
I started to cry. Now what would I do? I was 17 and pregnant. My parents would never allow me to keep the baby. I needed Coop how could he do this. He's an adult after all he should know what to do.
Two hours later I found myself knocking on Deb's door. I have to try again to talk to Cooper. I kept knocking. Finally Deb came to the door. She looked confused that I was there.
"I'm sorry Rachel, Cooper left already." Deb said as I started to cry.
"How could he just leave?" I asked.
"Would you like to come in?" Deb asked.
I nodded and walked in. She guided me into the Living Room. She went and got me some tissues. I finally calmed down.
"Do you think he'll be back?" I asked.
"Honestly no Sweetheart I don't. I know you think you love him. You'll get over him. He's not worth your tears." Deb said.
"I'm pregnant." I said softly.
Her eyes were huge. She sat there starring at me. I felt like crying again. She quickly excused herself. I heard her yelling at Coop on the phone.
"Rachel are you sure you're pregnant?" Den asked as she rejoined me.
"Yeah I went to the clinic yesterday and confirmed it." I answered her.
"Have you told your parents yet?" She asked.
"No I know they'll tell me I have to get rid of the baby." I answered.
"Maybe they'll surprise you." Deb said.
"I know them pretty well." I said.
"You should call them. I'll stay with you and I'll even talk to them if you want." Deb said.
"Okay." I replied knowing I couldn't put it off any longer.
My parents reacted just as I though they would. They kicked me out of the house. They said I was no longer welcomed. Deb tried to talk with them too. After I got off the phone I started to cry again/
"Rachel you are carrying my niece or nephew. I can't make my brother or your parents stop being jerks. I can offer you a place to live and support." Deb said.
"Are you serious Deb?" I asked.
"Very let's go get your stuff." Deb said hugging me.
