Sorry for the delay... writers block + school lack of updates!

"I'm pregnant"

No. He hadn't just heard that. He was imagining things. He blinked and looked up at Madison. She nodded solemnly confirming his worst nightmare. He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't find the words. How could this be happening!

Madison turned away, she couldn't look him in the eye. She didn't know what to do so she just sat there and waited for him to regain composure.

Ephram took a deep breath and rubbed his face in his hands. His stomach was twisting in all different directions and his vision was starting to blur. Pregnant. Madison was pregnant.

Madison put her face in her hands. The silence was killing her. She couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry" she said as she started to cry.

Ephram was too shocked to realize that he was crying himself.

He finally spoke, but had no control over what he was saying, "H-h-how? I-I-I mean…when? We haven't…n-n-not in…I-I mean…not since b-before…"

"I know" she replied in between sobs.

"W-wait…are you saying it's not mine!"

Madison looked up in horror, "Of course it's yours Ephram! Who the hell do you think I am!"

"So-so it's been that long? You've been…" he couldn't bring himself to say it, "you've known for that long – an-and you didn't tell me!"

"No! I didn't know…"

"How! How could you not know!"

"I don't know…everything was happening…with us, I just lost track, I don't know" her tears started coming faster.

Ephram ran his hands through his hair, "I-I'm sorry…I didn't mean to get mad…I'm just not really thinking straight right now…"

"It's ok"

"So…when did you…when did you realize?"

Madison wiped the tears from her cheeks, "about the same time I stopped returning your calls"

Ephram looked down, "Were you ever planning on telling me?"

"Yeah…" she paused, "I just needed some time…you know?"

"So what are we gonna do now?"

"I…" she shook her head and started to cry again, "I don't know..." she looked down, "I don't know what we're gonna do"

Ephram automatically put his hand on her shoulder, "It's …it's gonna be ok"

"How do you know that Ephram! You're still in high school! I'm still in college! How are we supposed to get through this!"

"I don't know" he replied, honestly, "but I know we will…"
