After Alli gave Clare her food she hung out with Clare and Darcy in the room for a little while and then decided that she should go home and let them be alone for a little while, but as she was exiting the hospital she heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Johnny on the pay phone and heard him say," My parents totally freaked out when I went home this morning. They started yelling and asking me where I had been all night. It was crazy!"
Alli didn't know what the person on the other side of the line was saying but a few seconds later she heard Johnny say," Of course I didn't tell them about Clare. I told them that I stayed the night at your place. If I had told them that a girl who isn't even my girlfriend is pregnant with my child they would have killed me."
Alli was shocked after hearing this. She couldn't believe Johnny hadn't told his parents about the baby after he had practically forced Clare to tell her about it.
Then Johnny started talking again," Yeah. I know. I am going to tell them about it soon. I have to tell them soon, in case Clare goes in to pre-term labor again. Okay. Bye."
He hung up the phone and Alli made a quick move out of the hospital before Johnny could see her.
She decided that she would tell Clare about what she had heard in a few days after Clare was out of the hospital and feeling better.
But she decided that she would confront Johnny a little sooner than that. But first she needed a shower and a nap in her comfy bed.
After she woke up from her nap, Alli decided to walk over to Johnny's house and talk to him about what she had overheard.
When she got there she rang the doorbell and Johnny's mother answered the door," Hi Mrs. Dimarco! Is Johnny home?"
"Hi Alli! We haven't seen you in a while." Mrs. Dimarco said, "Johnny's up in his room. You can go up there and get him if you would like to."
"Ok. Thanks." Alli said.
When she got to his bedroom door she didn't even bother with knocking she just walked right in," What the hell?" Johnny yelled.
"Hey Johnny! I just came over because I think we need to talk about some things." Alli said," And when I say somethings I mean we need to talk about the fact that you haven't told your parents about Clare yet."
" I don't know what you're talking about." Johnny said.
"Oh, shut up." Alli told him," I overheard you on the phone at the hospital telling whoever it was that you were talking to that you needed to tell your parents about Clare and soon before she has the baby."
" Wow! You were eavesdropping on me?" Johnny asked.
"Yes, I was." Alli said, " But this isn't about me this is about you. How can you not have told your parents about Clare after you pretty much forced her to tell me that she was pregnant? You told her you didn't want it to be a secret anymore. Well what do you call this? Being honest?"
"Look, I just wanted Clare to be honest with you because you're her best friend." Johnny said.
" And they're your parents, Johnny." Alli said," And they're nice people and while I am sure that they will be shocked by the news at first, I think that they will eventually come around. And I don't think that they would react cruelly to the news like Clare's parents did. Don't you think your unborn child deserves at least one pair of loving grandparents?"
"Of course I do, Alli." Johnny said," But it's not that easy to tell your parents that you are going to be a teen father. After everything that happened last year with the war Lakehurst had against Degrassi I just don't want to disappoint them again."
" I think that they will be more disappointed about the fact that you waited six months into Clare's pregnancy to tell them about the baby than the actually news of the baby itself." Alli told him.
"Maybe. But it's still a hard thing to tell your parents." Johnny said.
"Well I am not leaving this house until they know." Alli declared.
"What?" Johnny asked.
" You heard me." Alli said," Clare had to tell her parents about the baby and now you have to."
" You know I can just pick you up and carry you out the front door and then my parents still wouldn't know a thing about this." Johnny stated.
" Or as you are carrying me down the stairs I could scream out, ' Johnny's going to be a daddy'. " Alli said," But I don't want to do that."
" Well that's good cause I would be pissed at you if you did." Johnny said.
" I said I didn't want to do it." Alli said," I didn't say that I wouldn't do it. And I will tell them if you don't."
" Fine. I'll tell them." Johnny said.
"When?" Alli asked.
" I guess when my dad gets home from work at 5:30." Johnny said.
Alli look at her watch it was 4:45. " So in 45 minutes. I can wait that long."
"Of course you can." Johnny muttered sarcastically.
