Spencer and I are meeting up with his parent's for lunch and I am very nervous to tell them about the baby, being married, and everything. Spencer and I got to the restaurant before them, so at least they won't see my baby bump so soon, right?

"Teddy, relax baby. There's nothing to worry about." Spencer said reassuring me. "They will just be upset or disappointed in us that's it."

"Oh great, there they are." I said seeing them walking over to us.

Spencer got up and hugged both his parents. "Hey Mom, hey Dad."

"Hey Spence." His mother said. "Oh hi Teddy."

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Walsh." I said forcing a smile on my face.

"Teddy, we've been through this. I'm Linda and this is Paul." She said as she sat down.

"How is school going Son?" Paul asked.

"Good, good… everything is good."

"What about you Teddy?"

"Struggling but overall considering my scenario, pretty well."

"What do you mean scenario?" Linda asked as she looked at the menu.

"About that…" I said trailing off.

"There's something we need to tell you both." Spencer said placing his hand on top of mines. "I've been keeping a secret from you both."

"Oh." Linda said.

"And what is the secret, Son?" Paul asked now concerned.

"Ugh, I don't know how to say it but…"

"I'm pregnant." I blurted out. Fuck, did I just blurt that out.

"Excuse me, you're what?" His parents asked.

"She said, she's pregnant, I got her pregnant. We're having a baby."

There was silence between everyone. I felt like just breaking down into tears but I forced them back.

"It's not Teddy's fault. I convinced her into having sex with me and I didn't wear a condom, so don't blame Teddy."

"And why didn't you use a condom?" His father asked.

"I didn't have one…"

"Is this all Spencer?" His mother asked.

"No, there's one more thing." He paused. "We got married."

There was silence again. His parents were comprehending what we just confessed to and trying to figure out what they should do or what should happen next.

"We are very disappointed in you Spencer. I thought your mother and I raised you right, but you are now an adult, and you have to make your own decisions. Teddy, does your family know?"

"N-No. I, I am going to wait to tell them after the baby is born. I figured they won't be as mad once they see the little baby boy alive and healthy, well hopefully healthy."

"Oh, you're having a boy?"

I smiled staring down at my growing belly and nodded.

"Yeah, we are." Spencer said placing his hand on my belly. "We have a little Spencer Jr. in her belly."

"I hope you're not naming him that." His mother said.

"No, we're not. Teddy won't allow it. But until we come up with a name, he's a little Spencer Jr."

"Hello, I'm Jenna, and I'll be serving you today. Can I start you guys off with any drinks?" The waitress asked.

"Water." Paul, Spencer, and I said.

"I'll have a glass of your white wine." Linda said.

"Great, I'll be back to take your orders." She said leaving.

"Wow mom, already drinking and it's only noon."

"Well when your son tells you he got his girlfriend pregnant and then eloped with her, you need some alcohol in your system."

"Are you still enrolled and going to Yale, Teddy?" Paul asked.

I nodded. "It's probably not the best bet for me because of all the stress I'm getting but if I drop out my parents will get suspicious and will want to know why and I'm just not ready for them to know quite yet, I wasn't even ready to tell you you guys yet but Spencer wanted you to know."

"How many months are you?" Linda asked.

"About five months. He's due on August 10."

"What is your guy's plan for when the baby is born?" Spencer father asked taking a sip of his water. "Are you staying in college, dropping out, getting a job, what?"

"I was thinking, I could maybe get an apartment during the summer and for the rest of the time I am in school and have Teddy and the baby live with me."

"And I was thinking I could take online courses while I am caring for the baby so I don't have to give up my dreams and Spencer doesn't have to give up his."

"Teddy, here's a question." Paul paused placing his hands together. "Why don't you just start taking online courses now since it will be less stressful on you and the baby?"

"Oh yeah Teddy, that way your parents won't be suspicious over you dropping out."

"I already thought of that. And there is one problem with that, where am I supposed to live? If I start doing that, I will be unable to stay in my dorm room and where will I be? If I get an apartment, then I can't afford furniture and a furnished apartment is pretty expensive. And besides, I have just a month left of school. I'm just going to try to survive the last month and a half and just hope for the best for the baby."

"Oh." I started to smile and placed my hands on my stomach when I felt the baby move again. "He's moving again."

Spencer placed his hands on my stomach to feel his son. He smiled when he felt the baby. This would be the first time he felt his son move. "Oh he's an active one just like his daddy."

"Yeah…"

"Have you guys thought of any names yet?" His mother asked.

"Not yet." Spencer said.

"Actually, I've been thinking of names and I really like these: Brennan, Ryder, Weston, and Trey."

"Babe, I thought we weren't going to start thinking of names until school it out."

"Well when you have a baby in you, you start thinking and we agreed to not pick a name out until school is out."

"I still think we should name him Spencer Jr."

"Spencer, I am not naming our son that."

When our waitress came back, we all ordered. Twenty minutes later, she brought us back our food. We talked more and discussed our situation further more and his parent's decided they will get me and Spencer an apartment near his campus when school is out and will fully furnish it. We will stay out in Boston all summer and after the baby is born, the three of us will fly back to Denver and tell my parents.

"Alright kids, thank you for finally telling us." His father said as we stood outside the restaurant.

"Keep us up to date on how the baby is doing, Spencer." His mother said giving her son a hug.

"Okay, I will."

"And stay healthy Teddy. We don't need that little baby of yours to be born with any health problems."

"Mom stop, she's doing the best as she can. I love you both."

"We love you too."

They got in their car and we waved bye to them.

"Well, that went well." Spencer said as we walked around.

"Yeah, I guess, but I could tell they are upset."

"It's understandable Hun. I'd be upset too and I know you would too if your kid got pregnant or someone pregnant."

"Yes it is. I'm just happy I have you. I love you so much."

"I love you too."

OKAY SO I'M ACTUALLY LEAVING SUNDAY FOR MY TRIP AND I FOUND OUT THE PLACE I'M STAYING AT WITH MY FAMILY HAS NO INTERNET OR CABLE.
