AN: :) I like this chapter. I don't know why, I just do. So, I hope everyone else enjoys it as well. :)

~(^.^)~

Rosemary woke up the next morning, her eyes still a little red. She had cried most of yesterday. But really, wouldn't you if you figured out you were pregnant at the age of 14?

"Rosemary, sweetie?" Pattie knocked on the door, quietly opening the door, "It's time to get up."

Rosemary nodded at her, pulling her covers back and standing up. She placed a hand on her stomach, looking down, tears welling in her eyes as she realized that she had a baby growing inside of her, just under the palm of her hand.

Justin sat at the kitchen table, his hood up, staring down at the plate in front of him, a nauseating feeling in his stomach.

"Justin, put your hood down," his mom told him, entering the kitchen.

He ignored her, as Dylan sat down at the table.

"Where's Rosie?" he asked. He had gotten used to calling her that, as her name was kinda long. Justin sometimes called her that as well.

"Right here," she said, as she walked into the room.

Dylan smiled up at him, as she ruffled is hair.

"Put your hood down," she told Justin, pulling it down.

He glared up at her, and she could see that his eyes were red.

"So, when's my appointment?" Rosemary asked, sitting down beside Justin. Dylan didn't know yet about the miracle that Rosemary was blessed with, he just knew she had to see a doctor for ladies.

"A little after 10."

"I can go right?" Justin asked, looking up.

"If it's alright with Rosemary," Pattie told him.

"It's fine with me."

"Justin, you have to eat something," Pattie said, as she sat down.

"I'm not hungry," he mumbled, as he wiped his eyes.

Rosemary sighed, as she patted the hand on his knee under the table.

"I'll eat it," Dylan stated, reaching out and pulling Justin's plate towards him.

Rosemary giggled, and Justin cracked a smile. Pattie glanced worriedly at her son, who smiled weakly back at her.

"I'm not... really hungry either," Rosemary said, as she pushed her plate away.

Pattie sighed, but let it slide, "You will have to eat some time."

"I'm just not hungry right now, I'm kinda nervous. I don't want to throw up."

"Understandable."

The four were silent, as Pattie and Dylan continued to eat, and as Justin and Rosemary stared off into space thinking. Dylan got up, making everyone's head snap up, as it was so quiet.

"I'm going to be in my room," he told everyone.

Rosemary waited until he left the room, before she asked lowly, "If I were to keep the baby... what would happen?"

Pattie turned to look at her, a blank expression on her face. Justin pulled his hood back up.

"Why would you want to keep it?" Pattie asked her.

Rosemary turned to her, tears in her eyes, "If I get an abortion, it'll just feel like I killed someone."

"But, technically it's not, because a fetus isn't a human until it's 24 weeks old."

"I don't care about technicalities, its the fact that it's a growing human being, that I decided to kill," Rosemary stopped there, to take in a deep breath, and to wipe her face.

"Does it really matter if she wants to keep the baby?" Justin asked his mother.

Pattie looked surprised at his question, "I'm just looking out for her... and raising a baby at her age could be very difficult, not to mention everything else. What would her mother say, if she were to come home, and say, 'Hey mom, I'm back. Sorry for my absence, by the way, meet your grandchild.'?"

Rosemary sighed, and didn't respond, because she didn't want to fight with Pattie, not when she had been so nice to her over the past month.

"We're going to be late for the appointment," Pattie said, as she stood up.

"What about Dylan?"

"The neighbor's will watch him."

"Oh."

The three stood up.

"Get in the car," Pattie said, as she headed next door.

Rosemary nodded, as she got in the backseat. To her surprise, Justin got in beside her.

"Aren't you going to sit up front?" she asked him.

He shook his head, as he put his seat belt on.

Rosemary did the same, "Are you okay? You seem to be taking this harder than me."

Justin looked up at her, "It's just... I don't know how you can be so calm about this... I mean, you're pregnant. You're going to have a kid, and you're 14."

Rosemary smiled slightly, "That may be true, but I'm one of those people who believe, 'Things happen for a reason.'. So apparently, I was meant to get pregnant, which means I'm supposed to have this baby. I just don't know whether I'm supposed to be the one to raise it."

"Would you really keep it?"

"Of course. I couldn't just leave it in an orphange, I would rather keep it then do that. Or... I could adopt... I don't know. I'll get a sign."

"Do you believe in God?" Justin asked, a little amazed at her faith in something like that. They had never really touched that subject.

She laughed, "No."

"Oh."

"Do you?"

"Eh, not really."

She smiled up at him, putting her hand over top of his laying in the seat between them, as Pattie got in the car.

"Okay, everyone ready?" she asked.

"Yes."

"I guess."

"Okay then. Now, Rosemary, this appointment is just to see how far along you are, and to see when you might deliver. You may get an ultrasound today, depending on how far along you are. If you're not to far, we'll set up another appointment for an ultrasound."

Rosemary nodded, as Justin tightened his hold on her hand.

"Sounds like a lot of work," he mumbled.

She laughed, pulling his hood down, "Keep your hood off!"

He stuck his tongue out at her, shaking his head to fix his hair.

"You wouldn't have to do that, if you kept your hood off."

He glared at her, while she laughed.

"So... you don't want an abortion?" Pattie asked her, looking in the rear-view mirror.

"No," Rosemary shook her head.

Pattie sighed, "If you decide to keep the baby, you can't stay with us. We don't have the room."

Both teens stared in silence at the mother, as she drove.

"Okay," Rosemary told her, "Thank you for letting me know."

"You can't keep the baby, where would you go?" Justin asked her, looking over, practically cutting off the circulation to her hand from squeezing so hard.

"Hey, not so hard. And I would go to a place that helps people like me."

Justin stared at her as he loosened his grip. This couldn't be happening. She couldn't actually be leaving. Not now, not when they hadn't discovered anything new about her.

"You're not actually going to leave are you?" he asked.

She looked over at him, "I don't know... It all depends."

Justin sat back, staring at the back of his mom's seat, before he rubbed his eyes, trying to not cry.

"Aw, come on. It'll be okay," she told him, as she took off her seat belt, to scoot over to him.

He looked over at her, and her hand came up to gently brush away the tear that rolled down his cheek.

"Hey, don't cry," she told him, "You're not allowed to cry. You're a man."

Justin laughed, as his hand came up to wipe away another tear, "Tough men wear pink though."

She laughed and leant up to nuzzle her nose against his, as Justin blushed, "Touché."

"We're here. Do you two need a few more minutes?" Pattie smiled, watching the two interact.

"No, we're fine," Rosemary smiled, "Right? Can you do this?"

Justin sniffed, wiping his eyes once more, "Yeah, I'm fine."

The three got out of the car, and headed inside the doctor's office. Once there, Pattie headed to the secretary, as the two teens went to sit down.

Rosemary breathed in deeply, before letting it out slowly.

"Are you okay?" Justin whispered, reaching over and grabbing a hold of her hand, his thumb starting a steady rhythm over the back of her hand.

"I'm fine," she said, as she intertwined their fingers.

They both stared down at their joined hands in between their bodies, as Pattie came back.

"I used 'Rosemary Stevens' as you're name."

Rosemary nodded, as Pattie took a seat beside her.

"It'll be okay Rosie," Justin whispered, "This is just a check up, remember that."

She nodded, as a couple, two girls, walked out of the door leading to the offices, crying. Rosemary could tell they were a couple, because one girl had her arms wrapped around the other, and was repeatedly kissing her head, telling her everything would be okay. Rosemary felt sympathy for them, for whatever reason they were crying.

"Rosemary Stevens," a doctor called out.

The three stood up, and walked down the hall and into a room.

"What was the matter with those two ladies?" Rosemary asked.

"I just had to break the news, that they would never be able to have children, as the one who wants to bear the child is ill-equipped to do so. I told them they should adopt, but... I don't know. Not a lot of people are willing to adopt their kid to a lesbian couple..."

"Really? Well, what's the difference? I mean... I wouldn't mind... adopting..." Rosemary laid a hand on her stomach as her heart started pounding and her head started swimming, "That's it..."

Pattie and the doctor gave her a weird look, as Justin asked her, "What?"

"That's the sign!" she told him, as she ran out of the room and out of the office, scanning the the parking lot, as she saw the two ladies outside of their car, talking.

"Rosemary!" Justin called, but she ignored him, running up to the ladies.

"Hey!" she stopped in front of them, grinning up at them.

"Can we help you?" one asked, wiping her face.

"I... I just heard, that you can't have children. And I'm very sorry to hear that," she added, as one broke down again, "But I think I can help."

Justin appeared beside her, and hissed, "What are you doing?"

"How can you help us?" the crying one asked.

"I can give you my child," she told them, her eyes shining.

"You're p-pregnant?" they asked.

"Yes, but I'm 14, and I can't raise this baby at my age, but I also can't have an abortion. How fair would it be, for me to kill a baby, when you two can't have one? What I'm saying is... I would like you to have my baby."

Justin stared in disbelief, as one of the ladies burst out crying, and ran up to hug Rosemary. Rosemary returned it, hesitantly.

"You're willing it to give us you're baby?" the other one asked.

"Yes, I am. You deserve it more than I do," Rosemary told her.

"Thank you sweet angel, sweet child of mercy," the one hugging her told her.

"Come on Brianna, let the girl breath. I'm Carol, and this is my partner Brianna," Carol told her, laying a hand on Brianna's shoulder.

"Do you know how far along you are?" Brianna asked her, wiping her eyes.

"No, I'm here today to find out."

"Are you the father?" Carol asked Justin.

Justin blushed a deep blood red color, as Rosemary laughed, "No this is my friend Justin. The baby's father..." she breathed, "I was raped, and the baby is a product of that."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry," Carol said, Brianna nodded.

"No, don't be," Rosemary smiled, "Everything happens for a reason."

Carol and Brianna smiled down at Rosemary, "You are one brave little girl."

Rosemary smiled, "Would you like to be with me, as I learn how far along I am?"

"Could we?" Brianna smiled, her eyes shining.

Rosemary nodded, as her hand found Justin's, "I want you to. This is your baby after all."

Carol and Brianna started crying again, as they followed behind the two teens.

"Wow," Justin whispered, "So... that was your sign? For you to adopt your baby to a couple who can't have children?"

"Yes. Why else would they have been here on the same day as me, to learn that they can't have kids, while I learn more about my baby? It all fits together."

"But why were you raped in the first place then?"

Rosemary sighed as they entered the building, "I haven't figured that out yet."

"Are you two dating?" Brianna asked, as they walked down the hall.

"No," Rosemary responded, as Justin reddened again.

"Rosemary!" Pattie cried when she saw the girl, "Are you okay? Why did you run off like that?"

"Pattie, meet Carol and Brianna, the mothers of my baby."

The doctor and Pattie's mouths dropped open, as Carol and Brianna beamed.

"You're... you're adopting your kid?" Pattie asked.

"Yes."

Pattie covered her mouth, before she started crying. Turning to the couple she told them, "I'm so happy for you."

The appointment was full of laughs and tears, as the doctor revealed that Rosemary was only a month into her pregnancy.

"So, you must have gotten pregnant when we found you," Pattie said.

"Oh Rosemary, thank you for being so selfless!" Brianna cried, as she hugged Rosemary.

"It's my pleasure," Rosemary smiled.

Brianna fell into Carol's arms, and Pattie talked to the doctor about getting another appointment. Rosemary smiled around the room, as Justin wrapped an arm around her.

"Good going Rosie," he told her.

"It feels good to help others."

Justin smiled at her, as he leaned over and kissed her softly on her cheek, "And they really appreciate it."

Rosemary smiled up at Justin, her cheeks a pink hue, as he leant down to nuzzle his nose against hers, and she returned the gesture, giggling slightly.

Carol and Brianna smiled, as they remembered when they had felt that puppy love for each other.

"We're having a baby," Brianna whispered, smiling up at Carol.

"Yes we are. You and I, we're going to be parents," Carol whispered.

Brianna beamed, as she leant up to kiss Carol.

AN: :) Not much to say. I just really like this chapter. :) Perhaps because I love kids, I don't know. I hope you all enjoyed to.
