Sorry it's been a bit; I've been working on a new story and getting ready to study for finals coming up.
Wish me luck!

…
The next day, Ethan decided to go see his parent's without Benny or his grandma with him. Benny was reluctant, but agreed.
Ethan was nervous. He didn't know how his parents were taking the fact that he was engaged and pregnant.
He placed a cautious hand on his stomach and made his way slowly into his parents' house.
…
"You're getting rid of that monstrosity," his dad said simply as he sat next to his mom. He had never, EVER, seen his dad this angry about anything.
"Getting rid of…? No I'm not! And don't call my children a "monstrosity"!" Ethan exclaimed, furious with his father for once in his life.
"Yes you are. You are my son, and you do as I say. You're a boy for God's sake! You're not supposed to be pregnant! And certainly not supposed to be gay!"
"Ross!" Ethan's mom exclaimed, her arm around Ethan's now shaking form. "There is nothing wrong with our son!"
"Nothing wrong with our son? Are you mad? ! ? This is not normal! He's only 15!"
"Which is why he needs us to be supportive right now, not shunning him!"
"I am not shunning him. As long as he does as I say. You will have the… problem removed and move back home. You will have nothing to do with Benny or his family ever again," his father said simply, making both Ethan and his mom gape at him.
"No. I'm living with Benny, and we're going to get married, and I am going to have his children. Nothing you say or do will stop this from happening. I'm leaving now," Ethan said, standing up and heading towards the front door.
"If you step out of this house I will disown you!" his father screamed after him. Ethan turned and looked at his parents; his father all stern and serious, his mom teary-eyed and terrified.
"Then I guess I'm no longer a Morgan," he said, leaving his parents behind and going back to his new home and his new family.
…
Benny wrapped his arms around Ethan as soon as he got home.
"What happened?" his grandma asked, noticing how Ethan seemed upset.
"He wanted me to… to get an… an…" he shook his head, unable to finish his sentence.
"Get a what?"
"He wanted me to get rid of our children!" he cried out, tears finally falling. Benny stiffened, his arms still around Ethan.
"That will never happen," he whispered reassuringly to Ethan, running his fingers through the dark hair. "Never."
"Ethan… I'm really beginning to hate your father for what he is doing to my family," his grandma said, and Ethan frowned at her. "That includes you. You're family. Always have been. Like I didn't know you two would get together."
…
"I'm leaving Ross," Ethan's mom said, throwing her essentials into a duffel bag and tossing her wedding ring down. "And Jane's coming with me. She's packing the important stuff right now."
"You can't go," Ethan's dad said, not sounding very convincing. "Where will you go? You've got no more family than I do."
"I don't care. As long as I'm away from you. How could you treat our only son that way? So what if he's gay? So what if he's pregnant? He's still my son, and nothing, NOTHING, will make me treat him the way you've been treating him."
"You don't understand! Ethan's not normal! Benny's not normal! And his grandma is certainly not normal!"
"I don't care if they turn pumpkins into carriages, they are still people! I don't have to understand them. I know them. I like them. I think of Benny and his grandma as family. And now we will all be family. Ethan and Benny will be getting married! They will be having children. Can't you see how much they love each other?"
"I don't care if they love each other! My son can't be pregnant."
"I'm done with this argument. I'm leaving. Come on Jane!"
"Coming mom!" Jane called, hurrying with a huge duffel bag over her shoulder. "Dad, I don't know what's going on, but Benny and Grandma are awesome people. We'd be lucky to have them in our family."
"Come on Jane, we're leaving."
…
Ethan had seen the shadows of his parents arguing, and was surprised. They never fought.
"Grandma, would you go get my mom and let her stay here? She and Jane are leaving my dad I think…"
"Of course Ethan."
"Thanks. I want to talk to mom. I need to tell her everything."
…
Ethan sat with his mom alone in the living room of the Weir house while Benny and Grandma entertained Jane.
"Mom, did you leave dad?"
"I couldn't stand the way he was treating you," his mom said, frowning at him.
"I feel like it's my fault."
"Nonononononono Ethan don't feel that way. It's not. I couldn't take it anymore. He's been … tense lately. The way he reacted at your news just pushed us both over the edge."
"Well mom, I need to tell you something, and I don't know how you'll take it."
"Honey, you already told me you're pregnant and engaged. Which I'm okay with. Just say what you have to say."
"I'm a seer. I get … visions, whenever I touch someone or something … paranormal. Benny's a spell-master, which means he does magic. His grandma is an Earth Priestess, and she's been training us on how to use our… skills. And while I'm at it, Rory, Sarah, and Erica are vampires."
His mom sat there, silent and wide-eyed for a few minutes before taking a deep breath and nodding.
"Okay. I can understand the vampires, I used to know one back in high school, and the other things don't surprise me."
"Wait, you knew a vampire when you were in high school?"
"Oh yes. We were such good friends. She made me swear not to tell anyone about what she was, but she was killed a while back. Had fallen into the wrong crowd," his mom said, and Ethan shook his head in amazement.
"Wow… So… you're not surprised?"
"Well, I am in a little shock, but you're still my son. Nothing will change that."
Ethan smiled, happy that he still had some of his family on his side.
…
Alrighty, that's the end of this chapter folks!
