Chapter 2
With Alex supporting her they both headed to the cafeteria. As they walked Alex took her hand and squeezed it gently.
"You'll be okay Holly, I'm here." He told her, she nodded and they headed over to their table.
As they approached Rachel looked up and smiled.
"Hey, there you guys are…" She then noticed the serious look on their faces, "What's wrong?"
That drew the others attention and soon they were all staring at the couple. Even Susan who was blind had her eyes focused on them. Holly looked at Alex who nodded reassuringly.
She turned back to the others and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Well, you guys remember Alex's birthday party…?" They all nodded, "Alex and I sorta, disappeared towards the end of the night."
Tonya smiled. "Yeah, we were wondering where you went?"
Holly sighed. "Well we…we ended up in, Alex's room and…"
They all gasped, finally Susan spoke up. "You…You didn't?"
"We did." Holly said as she hung her head. "And now…I'm pregnant."
She looked back up; they were all staring at her, amazed. Susan was the first to speak.
"Wow, really?" Holly nodded and Susan got up and approached her before hugging her, tightly. "Congratulations, both of you."
Holly smiled and returned the hug.
"Thanks Susan, I…this means a lot to me." She replied. Alex smiled and then, noting the confusion of the others he explained.
"Holly was worried about what your reactions would be." He stopped and then added. "She's scared you'll be angry or upset and leave her to fend for herself."
Sam shook his head and he and Tonya also got up and congratulated Holly, offering their support, Kareem and Rachel followed suit soon after. Tonya shook her head.
"We would never abandon you Holly." She stated, "We'll help you, no matter what, I promise."
Holly was relieved that her friends all offered their support. It was one less worry on her mind; however she and Alex still faced the biggest hurdle of all, telling their parents. Before they did however there was still one more thing to do, Holly decided to wait however, until after school. When school was finally over the others waited while she walked over to a place she could have privacy and pulled out her phone. She dialled the number and waited anxiously for the answer.
"Hey Holly." Came the greeting, Holly managed a small smile.
"Hi Sharon, how are you and Yuri?" She asked, stalling for time.
Sharon Kennedy gave a friendly laugh. "We're great, thanks, so what's up?"
Holly knew this was it.
"I have some big news…m, well, you see…I'm pregnant."
Sharon gave a small squeal of delight and congratulated her; she also heard Yuri's voice in the background asking what was going on and Sharon telling him.
"That's great Holly, congratulations, Yuri says congratulations too." Sharon explains. "I know what you're gonna say, I know you're nervous and all, but trust me, you'll be a great mom. When we get home, we'll be there to back you up."
Holly breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks Sharon, I appreciate it you guys."
She hanged up and managed to relax; so far everybody was supportive, but that didn't mean everybody would be. Now she and Alex had no choice, they had to tell their parents.
Once the others headed home Alex and Holly held each other, finally Alex spoke.
"Okay, it's time our parents knew…Who do we talk to first?"
Holly thought for a moment and then decided. "Let's tell your parents first, okay."
He nodded and they headed to Metaxas house. They headed inside and found Lucas and Demeter, Alex's parents, sitting in the living room. They looked up when they entered.
"Welcome home Alex." Demeter stated, "Hello Holly."
Demeter smiled in greeting and Holly attempted to smile back but the smile was weak. They noticed and Lucas then asked.
"What's wrong you two?" He noted Holly's appearance. "You look rather pale Holly?"
Holly took a deep breath and told them the truth; she stumbled over her words a few times, but continued to speak, giving them whole story. Alex gave his input from time to time until finally they were done. However it was clear to Holly that this hadn't gone well. The silence this time felt tense, finally Lucas exploded.
"I don't believe this!" He roared, "How could you be so irresponsible, both of you!"
Alex leapt to Holly's defence. "Hey, dad, don't be like that. I'm the one who didn't use protection, that's hardly Holly's fault."
"Enough, I don't want to hear it!" He shot back as Demeter joined in.
"Your father is right Alex; you're too young for this."
Holly felt the need to step in and set things straight.
"We're eighteen, Aunt Lindsey was only sixteen when she had Sharon, she did okay."
Demeter shook his head. "You're not your aunt, this is different!"
"I don't want to hear any more about this, now get out!" Lucas yelled at her.
Holly turned to leave but Alex took her hand. "If Holly goes, I go."
Demeter shook her head. "No Alex, I forbid it, you are not…"
"I am getting involved, this is my baby. I'm eighteen, so you can't forbid me to do anything anymore. If you can't accept this, then that's fine. Bye."
With that he took Holly's hand and led her outside where they stopped. Holly was close to tears and Alex was breathing heavily trying to calm down. He turned to look at her and sighed.
"That could've gone better."
