"So... how are you gonna tell nom the news?" Two Bit asked on the way home.

"Well, I'm planning on just coming out and saying it. And if mom gets mad and wants to talk to Soda, then we'll deal with that then," I said, staring at my ring the whole time.

When we got home, mom came out of the kitchen and siad, "Hey Keith. Hey Keri. How was your day?"

"Keri is engaged to Sodapop Curtis," Two-Bit blurted out. I kicked him in the shin and gave him a dirty look.

"Keri... don't you think you're a little yound to be married? Is there anything else you haven't told me?" mom said.

"Yeah, she's also pregnant with Soda's baby," Two-Bit blurted again. I kicked him even harder.

"I want you to call up Soda and get him over here right now. I am very disappointed in you Keri," my mom said.

I nodded and walked towards the phone to call Soda. "Hey hun. My mom wants to talk to you," I said.

"Okay, I'll be right over," he answered. Obviously, he knew what it was about. He was there within 2 minutes. My mom answered the door. "Hey Mrs. Matthews," he said. "How's it goin'?"

"Come sit down," she said. He sat on the couch right beside me. My mom sat across from us. "So Soda. I hear my girl is pregnant, and you proposed to her, when she's just turning 17. Care to explain?"

"Mrs. Matthews, I care about Keri so much. I'm in love with her. When I found out she was pregnant today, I decided to ask her to marry me. I had that ring for a long time and I was planning on giving it to her for her birthday. I wasn't even planning to get married until Keri graduates. I have a good job and I can take care of our new family," Soda explained.

"And I could get a job too, Mom. We'll get along just fine. We'lll both be able to provide for the baby," I added.

"So explain how my daughter became pregnant will you?" my mom asked.

Soda looked at me and said, "Well we were on our very first date, hom alone in my room. We were just talking about us two. Then it just sort of... happened. I love Keri so much. Don't seperate me from her." He squeezed me tightly and I smiled.

"You know what, I believe you can provide well for my daughter and your future family. Congratulations Keri and Soda," she said. She got up and hugged both of us. While she hugged me she said, "So I'm going to be a grandma."

"You sure are," I said smiling. Soda and I kissed, just to prove our love to my mom.
