At The Beginning

Chapter 25

I walked downstairs. This was it, I had to tell my parents.

"Mum where's daddy?" I asked not even noticing I was talking English until my mom looked confused at me, but answered on English. After all she was half American.

"He's at work. Why do you ask?"

"Well I should probably tell this when both of you were here, but it can't wait"

"Well you aren't pregnant are you?" she said laughing, as she thought she was making a joke. I looked serious at her and she knew I was.

"HOW? WHY? WHAT? HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN?"

"Mom I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to happen, it just did"

"NO I really hope you didn't plan something like that at your age!"

"MY AGE? I'm 17 I'm almost an adult"

"No you're not, you are my little girl, and you're too young to be a mom. You can't be pregnant at your age"

"Well mom I am. Do you hear me I'm pregnant, and there's nothing you can do about that!"

"There isn't? Well I'll call to the doctor for you to get an abortion"

"MOM NO!"

"Yes, you're not having that baby! And do you even know who the father is?"

"Of course I do! Do you think I'm just a stupid whore, who doesn't even know who she is sleeping with. Mum I thought you knew me"

"Yeah I thought so too, but you being pregnant, is not the girl I use to know, you used to be so responsible"

"And I still am. Mom being a mom will just make me more responsible"

"You're actually saying you want to keep this baby?"

"Of course. It's my child, I could never kill it and Troy wants me to keep the baby too. He wants to be a dad"

"Troy?"

"My boyfriend, remember I told you once?"

"Yeah I remember and I told you if you were being safe. And you said you hadn't come to that point in your relationship yet. And now you come home and tell me you're pregnant. Do you really think it's a good idea becoming a mum?"

"Yes mum, I really want to have this baby. It's my life and my body and there's nothing you can do to make me change my mind"

"Okay fine, if this is really what you have decided, then I'll support you in your decision"

"Thanks mum" she said giving her a hug. And with that Josephine came in.

"God you're yelling insanely, are you pregnant Gabby?" God Josephine's English was good. She had really learned a lot this year. Of course since my mom was half American she had taught us English in an early age.

"Yes sweetie I am"

"So I'm becoming a moster?" Translation: "Moster" = "Aunt"

"What the hell is the English word for moster?" Josephine asked not knowing what it was.

"Hey watch your language young lady" my mum sad strictly. "Sorry"

"Josephine it's Aunt. And yes you're going to be an Aunt. I'm carrying your niece or nephew in here" I said smiling and she gave me a hug.

"Yay" she ran in to the living room yelling. "Jeg skal være moster, jeg skal være moster"

Translation: Danish/English "Jeg skal være moster, jeg skal være moster" "I'm going to be an aunt, I'm going to be an aunt"

"Well I guess I don't have to worry about telling dad, I guess Josephine will do that for me" I said making an innocent look as my mum look sternly at me.

With Troy

"Hey man I need to talk to you" Troy said calling for Chace.

"What's up?"

"Please come over"

"Okay fine I'll be there in a sec"

5 minutes later Chace came.

"So what's up"

"I kinda screwed up"

"What do you mean? How?"

"I knocked Brie up"

"Shit man, you're right you've screwed up"

"Yeah, yeah I know you don't have to tell me"

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to keep it?"

"Yeah I told her it was amazing she was pregnant and that I wanted her to keep the baby. That I would be there for me. And maybe at some point I do, but you know it really scares the hell out of me"

"Does she know how you really feel?"

"No she was crying and everything. Asking if I were mad at her, because of it. And I'm not mad at her, I really aren't. But I had to be strong for her, telling her it was going to be okay. 'Cause I could here in her voice that it was scaring her to death, even though she didn't said so"

"But if both of you are afraid of becoming a parent, then wouldn't it be better not to keep it?"

"And break Brie? No we have to keep it. You know her, getting an abortion, would make her think it was her fault. That she killed the baby. I would break her so much, and she would never let go of the guilt. Trust me I know her, she wouldn't bare doing something like that"

"Well I guess that means you're going to keep it. But in case you don't remember she on the other side of the ocean"

"I know, I just hope she'll take her parents to let her go back here"

With Gabriella

My dad had just come in through the door. I was sitting at the table, not saying anything. As Josephine jumped out saying.

Danish/English

"Jeg skal være moster" "I'm going to be an aunt"

"Hvad? Hvad snakker du om?" "What? What are you talking about?

"Gabby er gravid" Josephine said with a happy face. My dad turned to me, and the face he was giving me wasn't happy..

"HVORDAN KUNNE LADE DET SKE? FORTÆL MIG HVEM DEN DRENG ER OG JEG VIL PERSONLIGT GØRE DET AF MED HAM" "HOW COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN? TELL ME WHO THAT GUY IS AND I WILL PERSONAL GET HIM OVER WITH"

"VED DU HVAD NU HOLDER DU KÆFT!" I didn't know what came over me I just started yelling. "MOR HAR ALLEREDE SKÆLDT MIG UD, OG DU BEHØVER IKKE OGSÅ GØRE DET! JEG VED GODT JEG IKKE SKULLE HAVE LADET DET SKE, MEN DET GJORDE DET! OG DER ER IKKE NOGET DU KAN GØRE DER FÅR MIG TIL AT OMBESTEMME MIG. JEG BEHOLDER DEN HER BABY OM DU KAN LIDE DET ERLLER EJ!"

"YOU KNOW WHAT, NOW YOU SHUT UP" "MUM ALREADY YELLED AT ME, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT TOO! I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET IT HAPPEN, BUT IT DID. AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND. I'M GOING TO HAVE THIS BABY WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"
