When lunchtime rolled around, MaCanna and Calista headed over to Selina's. Knocking on the door, they found her bright eyed and healthy.

"Feeling better, Selina?" asked Calista.

"Gosh, I am. It's the weirdest thing. I was so sick this morning. Then by the afternoon I felt great."

"Mhm... I know. We should go upstairs and do this test Selina. You're pregnant."

Selina froze on the spot. "No... please say this is a joke Calista. I can't be, daddy will kill MaCanna and I."

Walking upstairs with Calista, Selina cried.

"I'll wait for you outside the door, when you're done give me the stick. I'll look for you."

After she had finished, she passed the stick to Calista. Waiting the two minutes, she flipped it and seen the plus sign.

"I'm sorry you guys. You're pregnant," she cried again for her brother. "Listen MaCanna, I'm going to walk back too school, you and Selina need to break the news too mom and dad. It might be easier to start with them, that way dad and mom can invite Selina's parents over, and you can tell them together. Anyway... I gotta get back to class. I'll see you at home MaCanna."

"Okay sissy, thanks for everything."

Giving her brother a huge hug, she left.

"What are we going to do, MaCanna. I can't tell daddy. He had such high hopes of me going to medical school in september. I can't do that with a baby on the way. What are we going to do?" she cried in heartbreaking sobs.

"Shh... come on Selina. Just breathe. We will figure it out together. Maybe we should head to my place and tell my parents. This way... my dad will be able to help us with your father."

"But I don't think I want the baby, MaCanna. I don't want to be pregnant."

"What are you saying, Selina? You want to abort our child? Have you ever seen an aborted fetus? You can't do this, Selina. Please... let's think about it for a while. Let's see how our parents take the news. But don't kill our child."

"Come on, MaCanna. Are you telling me you want to be a father at eighteen?"

"I don't know. But one thing I do know... is there are other options besides abortion. Let's just not fight about it now. First thing to do, is tell our parents. The rest will fall into place, after."

Taking Selina by the hand, they headed home to tell his parents first.

..............................................................................................

Walking in the door, MaCanna could hear his mother and father talking. Entering the kitchen, Stella took one look at the kids and knew right away.

"Mom... dad... we need to talk."

Taking a look at Selina's tears, Mac wondered what was going on. "Okay son, we're listening."

"First off dad, I owe you an apology. That night you asked me if Selina and I had slept together, I told you no. I lied dad, and I'm so sorry for not being truthful. There was no excuse for it. Especially after you told me, that us children could talk too you about anything. So please forgive me."

Nodding his agreement, he waited for the rest.

"On the night of the party, Selina and I made love without thought as too protection. We were both very drunk. Now I know that's no excuse, and I'm sorry. But Selina is pregnant with my baby."

Mac stood with a straight stance, he could feel his jaw and fist clench. He just couldn't believe it. Had he not listened to any of his teachings. Did he not realize, his future would now be altered forever?"

Stella reached down, and took Mac's hand trying to sooth him.

"Please dad, say something? You're scaring me."

"Do you kids have any idea, what you've done to your futures?"

"Yes dad. We understand. Just please tell me you'll help us through this. Please tell me you will stand by whatever decision we make."

"I'm disappointed in you son. Very disappointed. But you know I will stand by your decision. Let's just hope you kids make the right one, for both of you."

Stella walked over to Selina. "How are you holding up, sweetheart?"

"Not good. I'm really scared Stella. My dad is going to kill me. He's going to hate me. I don't want the baby. I want an abortion. Please... just take me for one."

"NO! I told you Selina, that's a decision you and I will make together. Right now, I don't want to abort our child. Christ Selina, it's already growing and nurturing within you. It's already alive, Selina. I won't let you kill our child."

Mac was honestly surprised how mature his son was being about this. He thought for sure he would have ran from this problem. Instead he was being a man, taking full responsibility for their mistake.

"I think he's right Selina. Why don't we talk to your parents first. Let's find out how they feel about the whole situation, okay. Then you kids can decide what you want to do."

"Okay, but please. Can we do it here. This way my dad will somewhat keep his temper in check."

Mac knew no matter where they told Selina's father, he was going to explode. He knew this, cause he would be the same way, if it was his little girl.
