The door bell rang. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before I went downstairs to answer the door. I can't believe my mom invited Antonio over for dinner...,I thought angrily. I opened the door to greet an extremely breath taking Antonio. He wore dress pants, a nice shirt with a tie and dress jacket, and dress shoes. He looked handsome. I just couldn't seem to take my eyes off him. He smiled that sweet smile and kissed my cheek. "Hey,you look absolutely gorgeous!" he exclaimed. I blushed deeply and looked down at my feet. Antonio pulled my chin up and kissed me softly. I instantly melted into his arms. When he pulled away,I looked deep into his eyes. They were soo mesmerizing. "Aren't you gonna invite me in?" he asked chuckling softly. "Oh yes! Come on in" I said and stepped aside so he could enter. "You look handsome Antonio." I commented. I could see his face grow red. Even with his face red,he looked cute. Antonio leaned in to kiss me again. We were about to kiss,until my mom pops into the room and surprises us. "Dinners ready!" she chirped. My moms eyes went wide when she saw Antonio and me. "Oh my gosh! You two look breath taking! You two make such a beautiful couple! I have to take a picture!"
"Mom..." I groaned. "Why won't be just go and have dinner?" I asked,guiding Antonio towards the dinning room.
During dinner,daddy talked about work and mom talked about babies. My mom worked in the hospital with the newborn babies. I looked over at Antonio and noticed how nervous he looked. His cheeks were pink and he seemed fidgety. I touched his hand for reassurance. I gave him a warm smile and he did the same in return,relaxing a bit. "Oh I can't wait for you to grow up,get married,and have a baby Katerina! I want a grandchild!" my mother gushed. I smiled weakly. "I bet" I said and laughed dryly. "Antonio,honey,are you feeling ok?" My mother asked worried. I glanced over at Antonio. His face was pale and he was shaking and sweating like a pig. "Of course he is mom. Don't worry about him. Antonio,I need to talk to you and now." I got up and lead him into the kitchen. I turned to face him. "We cannot tell them now. It's not the best time to. Understand?"
"Yes,but I'm just freaking out. When are you gonna tell your parents your pregnant? When they see your 2 month abdomen!"
"I don't know Antonio! I'm freaking out as much as you are! I'm the one thats gonna be having a baby not you!" I shouted. At the corner of my eye,I saw my dad. His face was hot red with anger. "Daddy.." I started but he walked off. I looked over at Antonio and followed my father into the living room. "Daddy I can explain. Please-" I started but my dad cut me off. "What is there to explain? Your pregnant!" he yelled. "What is going on here?" my mother said entering the room. "I'll tell you whats going on! Katerina is pregnant with Antonio's baby!" he said angrily. I flinched at his words. "What? KaterinaRose,is that true?" she asked. I looked down at my feet. "Yes.." I whispered quietly. "Thats it! You need to leave now! Both of you!" My dad screamed. I looked up at him surprised. I couldn't believe what I heard. "What?...Daddy please! Please don't make me go! I need you! I need you to tell me everything is gonna be alright! I need mom too! Please daddy!" I begged in between loud sobs. "I'm sorry Katerina. You need to leave. You disgraced this family. I'm giving you an hour to pack your things. Mary,come!" he said and walked out the room,my mom following. I stood there for a moment,letting it all sink in. Then,I burst into tears again and ran up to my room to pack. Antonio followed me to help.
Antonio and I packed all my belongings into his car and drove off. The car ride was quiet as I mourned. I cried quietly to myself. Finally,we drove up Antonio's drive way and parked. We sat there for awhile quiety,not saying a word to each other. "I'm sorry for everything Kat...I really am. It's all my fault." Antonio said sadly. I sighed. "It's ok..it was gonna happen sometime...lets just go inside and tell your parents.." I responded. Antonio nodded and got out the car. We walked into his house quietly. "Mom? Dad?" he called. "We're in here!" they called back. Antonio and I walked into his living room,where his parents where. "Hey mom" he greeted. "Hi Antonio. Who's this?" his mother asked. "Mom,dad,this is my girlfriend,KaterinaRose,but you can just call her Kat or Katerina. We have been going out for a long time and...and.."
"Spit it out Antonio" His father said curious. "She's pregnant and it's my baby.." Antonio's parents' jaws dropped with astonishment. "Before you say anything else,her parents kicked her out and she has no where else to stay...and I mighhtt have bitten her and now she's a vampire too.." Antonio's parents stayed silent for a moment. "Okay,she can stay here." His mother said and smiled. I smiled back and walked into Antonios mothers outstreched arms.
