Chapter Three

More Problems

Manny woke up in the middle of the night with intense pains in her stomach. Manny looked to the left of her bed to wake up Craig, but as usual he wasn't there. She was only six months pregnant, so something had to be wrong. She screamed out in pain again, waking her two kids, Miles and Claire up.

"Mom what's wrong?" Claire asked as she ran in with her brother to her mom and dad's room.

"I think something's wrong with the babies, call 911." Manny said wincing in pain. Miles ran for the phone on the other side of his parent's bed.

Manny arrived at the hospital and had to have an emergency c-section. Emma showed up after Manny's kids called her but Craig did not. No one could reach him.

Three hours after the c-section everyone was finally able to see Manny. The babies, being three months premature were in the NICU. Manny was sleeping when everyone saw her. The doctor had said the babies were just born early for unknown causes and their chance of survival was 50/50 at this point.

Teresa didn't know what to do. Her friend had been raped, by a boy on the football team. Her own brother was on the football team. Teresa went into the kitchen one night to get a snack and saw Caleb and one of his football friends devouring cookies.

"What's wrong Tes?" Caleb questioned his little sister, who had a look of fear on her delicate face.

"Um well, you guys no Greg Farret, right?" Teresa asked.

"Yeah…why?" Caleb asked.

"Well, ok, Samantha and I, we were at the party last week and…." Caleb cut her sentence short.

"Why would you two be at a high school party, you're too young, I don't want you being at those parties, something could've happened to you…"

Teresa gulped.

"Wait…what happened?" Caleb asked worried now, exchanging glances with his friend.

"Greg-Greg Farret, he raped Samantha." Teresa said looking at her brother and his friend Josh. Caleb pounded the table.

"What!?!?! I am going to go talk to that kid! Caleb exclaimed.

"You can't tell." Teresa replied.

"Teresa, he shouldn't have done that to her, I have to tell someone, she's only thirteen!" Caleb exclaimed. Teresa sighed and shrugged.

"I thought you were my brother, but I guess not, because a true brother wouldn't try to wreck his little sister's friendship." Teresa said walking madly out of the kitchen.

Cadence and Cody were at Cody's house, sitting on the couch watching a movie. Once the movie was over Cadence spoke.

"Cody, are you happy about becoming a father, I mean we're young, do you even want to keep our baby?" Cadence asked randomly.

"Of course, I mean I know we're young, but we can do it. I want to keep him or her." Cody said.

"People are going to know soon. They're going to talk. Are you sure you're going to want to stay with me then?" Cadence asked nervously.

"Why wouldn't I? I'm equally as responsible as you are for this baby. It's ours. I can't make you do this alone." Cody said reassuringly.

"And That's why I love you." Cadence replied.

It was the next night and it was dinner time at Sean and Emma's house. Noah was downstairs watching tv.

"Noah? Can you please go get Courtney for dinner?" Emma asked her son.

"Sure." Noah got up and made is way upstairs. He knocked on her door.

"Court, time for dinner!" Noah shouted.

"I don't feel well; maybe I'll eat dinner later." Courtney replied, lying. Noah nodded, actually believing her. He had no clue that she was trying to skip dinner to lose weight.

"She says she doesn't feel well." Noah said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Oh." Emma replied thinking. Noah left the room to go the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked Emma after Noah left.

"I don't know, something seems off with Courtney lately, I'm sure it's nothing though." Emma said to Sean. Sean nodded.

Meanwhile at Teresa's house everyone was eating dinner. Caleb kept on staring at Teresa.

"What?" Teresa asked annoyed.

"What's going on with you two? All through dinner you've seemed mad at each other and Caleb why do you keep staring at her?" Marco questioned his kids.

"Dad, Teresa went to a high school party last weekend." Caleb said still looking at his little sister. Teresa's eyes bulged angrily, spawning her to through a piece of chicken at him.

"Hey!" Caleb said as the chicken hit him on the nose. Dylan and Marco ignored this little squabble.

"Teresa, you're not supposed to go to parties that aren't with kids your age! You know that perfectly well!" Dylan said angrily.

"Sorry." Teresa mumbled, now furiously glaring at her older brother.

"Well too bad, you're grounded. You can't go out for two weeks." Dylan said looking at Marco for agreement. Marco nodded.

"What!" Teresa exclaimed.

"Aren't you going to tell them?" Caleb questioned.

"Caleb!" Teresa yelled.

"Tell us what and stop yelling!?" Marco said.

Teresa sighed. She didn't know what to do anymore, but she knew she couldn't tell anyone yet.

"Nothing." She answered.

After dinner Marco decided to call Ellie and ask her if she knew anything about this party.

"Oh well, just tell her to call me back." Marco told Jesse after he said Ellie wasn't home.

"Marco, has Teresa said anything about Samantha? Something's up with her and I don't know what." Jesse asked referring to their daughter's good friendship.

"Well did Samantha go to a high school party last weekend? Teresa went and I'm assuming Samantha probably went with her." Marco said informatively.

"She hasn't mentioned anything about that. I'm going to talk to her about it tonight; maybe it has something to do with why she's upset. Thanks for calling Marco; I'll call you tomorrow once I know anything." Jesse said.

"Yep, bye." Maroc said hanging up.
