The whole ride home was quiet, neither of them knowing what to say, but they both had finally stopped crying when they got into the car. Gabriella didn't know what to say to her 16 year old daughter who happened to be in the same situation she hoped none of her children would have to be in so young. Lissy waited for her mom to yell at her but she hadn't yet and she was starting to worry that her mom was so mad at her that she just stopped talking to her for life. However Lissy was most afraid of what her dad was going to say or what he was going to do.

When Gabriella pulled into the driveway she began to worry what Troy was going to say and what she was going to say to him.

"Who knows," Gabriella asked turning to look at Lissy as they sat in the car.

"Camryn and Matthew but he probably told his best friends do most likely by tomorrow all of Albuquerque will know."

"What did Matthew say," she asked.

Lissy sighed, "well at first he thought I was lying and just laughed but then Camryn told him again and then he got scared….I thought he was going to be somewhat okay with it but then today after school I called him to see what we were gonna do but he broke up with me," now a tear crawling down her young face made Gabriella pull her into a hug.

"I never like him anyway," Gabriella said trying to get Lissy to smile.

They stayed wrapped in a hug for a couple more minutes before, "Do you hate me," Lissy asked.

Gabriella pulled away with a shocked look on her face, "Melissa Grace I would never hate you….don't ever think that. I love you no matter what unfortunate events appear in your life. Now I wont lie and say I'm not a little mad and disappointed but I will never hate you."

"I love you too but I'm afraid daddy will get really mad and try to kill Matthew or he'll never want to talk to me again…I don't think I'll be able to handle that," Lissy said.

"Daddy will be mad but he'll realize that he loves you too much to be mad at you. Hey without you then me and daddy would have never had Camryn or have gotten married and we would have never known that Ryan, Kenadie and Konner are the cutest kids on the planet….next to you and Camryn of course," she said trying to make her feel better. Lissy smiled knowing her mom was trying to cheer her up but these days Lissy wasn't so Cherie.

When they finally went into the house Troy and the kids were sitting at the kitchen table eating spaghetti. Mother and daughter walked hand in hand to the table and sat down in silence before, "Did you do it," Camryn asked.

Lissy and Gabriella shook their heads no, them being the only ones who understood what she meant. The girls, except Kenadie kept quiet the rest of the dinner; not wanting to start a fight at the dinner table with the little kids sitting right there. For some reason Gabriella couldn't look at her daughter the same, that morning Lissy looked like her little girl but somehow 12 hours later she didn't seem so little anymore, Gabriella wondered if her mother thought the same way. The whole time she was eating, Lissy wouldn't look at her dad in the eyes but Troy thought it was because she was still mad about the move.

After they were done eating Lissy stayed in the kitchen with Gabriella and helped her with the dishes while Camryn helped Troy give the little kids baths. The quietness in the kitchen was awkward but neither of them could think of what to say to each other.

"Any advice for me," Lissy asked handing her mom a plate.

"I've got a lot but one you should always remember is that everything will be okay."

"How did you handle me and going to school and having a job," Lissy asked.

"Well with you I was too young to work but I did have a rough time at first with school but only because I was tired and worn out…while I was at school you stayed with Grandma or David's mom. Only a few times did you go to a day care….I wont lie to you but raising a baby is a lot of work and a lot of times it's frustrating."
"I don't know what to do….get up the courage to get an abortion or give it up or keep it," she said handing her mom the last plate.

"Whatever you decided we all are 105 percent behind you."

"How'd you decided?"
Gabriella wiped her hands off and leaned against the counter, "Well it took me along time to decided but when I did I decided to give you up for adoption, I was 14 and scared…I saw how unhappy my mom was without a husband and I thought that was going to happen to me and I wanted you to have the best life so me and Grandma found a couple and everything was set but after I had you and I saw you for the first time I just couldn't do it, I knew it was going to be hard but Grandma promised me that we were going to be fine and she told me that she was there for me whenever I needed help," Gabriella explained, she never told Lissy this story but now she felt it was a good time to tell her. Lissy walked over to her and gave her a big hug, "thanks for not giving me away."

"No problem," Gabriella said then kissed her forehead. They stood there in a hug until Troy came down to the kitchen, Lissy froze up when she saw him knowing she was going to have to tell him. Gabriella told Lissy to go upstairs and she would tell him knowing that Lissy was too nervous to do it herself.

Troy looked at his wife and knew something was wrong that there was something important she needed to tell him. Gabriella put on a fake smile as he walked closer to her pulling her into his chest. She could hear her pulse in her head as she said, "Troy sit down I need to tell you something," he sis what she said, "and remember there are small children in the house so yelling and cursing is out of the question."

He braced himself felling that the news was going to be bad. It happened so fast that Gabriella couldn't believe she told him that their 16 year old daughter 2 ½ months pregnant. He displayed a normal reaction, almost breaking his hand on the table and cursing under his breath. Gabriella just stood there waiting for him to calm down, which took him a few minutes.

"What did Matthew say," Troy asked still trying to wrap his mind around what she just said.
"He broke up with her," Gabriella said hesitantly, not knowing what he was going to so. He angrily banged his hand against the table again trying to remember not to yell, but you could tell that he was extremely mad; as he should be. A few seconds later he took out his cell phone and started dialing.

"Who are you calling," Gabriella asked.

"Matthew, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind."

"No Troy don't….Lissy wouldn't want you too," Gabriella said taking the phone out of his hands, "Please calm down."

He sighed and slouched down in the chair, "Is she scared?"
Gabriella nodded, "Of course, it's a really scary thing…but I have a feeling that if her daddy would tell her it's gonna be okay she'll feel a little better," Gabriella said sitting down on his lap.

"Will she even talk to me?"
"Of course, because if you don't talk to her she'll feel even worse….she's not looking for you to blow it all off and say no big deal, she wants you to accept her problem and be there for her," she said.

He nodded his head, gave Gabriella a kiss then went upstairs to Lissy's room, passing the little kids, who were playing with blocks.

He opened Lissy's door slowly and saw her laying on her bed staring at the wall her eyes still bloodshot from crying. Camryn was sitting next to her rubbing her back, when she saw him she got up and walked over to him, "Don't kill her," she whispered then walked out of the room. Troy walked over to Lissy's bed and sat down on the edge and softly rest his hand on her back, he sighed, "I'm not mad at you, I would be very hypocritical if I was….I was frustrated because I wanted you to have a different life then what me and your mom did. I love you and I'm here for you all the way."

There was silence before Lissy said, "Thanks, I really appreciate it," she sat up and gave him a hug. After they broke apart Troy was going to get up and leave her alone to think but she stopped him, "Can you stay with me please?"
He nodded and smiled then laid down next to her them both just staring up at the ceiling.

SO WHAT DID YOU THINK, PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT LISSY TO DO.
