Chapter 25/Mistake
"She's pregnant." Andy sunk to the floor, the phone dropping from his hand. Not him. Not this. Not now. His life was ruined. Completely ruined. "Sir? Sir are you there sir?"
He picked up the phone, still in complete shock. "Yes, I'm here. I'm sorry but I have to go," he said loudly.
"I understand Sir," she replied sympathetically.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
He hung up the phone and immediately picked it back up and called Julie. "Jules? Hi, um I'm coming over."
"What? You can't I'm having dinner. Is everything ok?"
"No everything isn't ok, we're pregnant Julie! I mean your pregnant, I mean…oh I don't know what I mean!"
"Oh. My. God. I'll be over in 2 minutes." Julie hung up the phone and sank onto her bed, tears streaming down her face. She picked up the keys and hurried to Andy's house. She stopped the car halfway, painful memories of her mother in her head. She got to Andy's house 15 minutes later. She ran to him, throwing herself into his arms. "Oh Andy…I…I'm so sorry I did this."
"Oh Julie baby you didn't do it WE did it. After all this baby is half mine. Don't blame yourself sweetie."
She looked up, her cheeks sticky with tears. "You mean you're not mad?"
Andy looked at her quizzically. "Why would I be mad? Honey, we're in this together."
"Oh Andy I'm so scared." She felt his strong arms around her, as they sank onto the wet porch.
"Let's not freak out now. What are we going to do? I think we should go down to the adoption agency and see what options we have. I mean there's no way we can keep this baby."
"Yes I know," she replied, tears streaming down her neck. "I'm just glad I don't have to abort. I'd be a mess about that."
"Yes I know. Why don't we go inside and make an appointment? I hate to tell my parents and Jason, but what really upsets me is Andi. I don't know how she'll take it."
"Andy she loves you. She'll forgive and forget."
"I guess," he replied, not so sure.
"At least you have someone to tell," she replied quietly.
"Oh Honey…" Andy gave her shoulder a squeeze and wiped her tears. They stood up and headed into the house.
After making an appointment for the next day, they headed to the living room to break the news to the Carson's…not a good thing.
"Mom," Andy said, clearing his throat.
"Yes?"
"Julie's…I mean we're…we're…"
"Pregnant," Julie finished for him.
Mrs. Carson stared in shock. "Oh my…Andy, I think Julie better go home," she said, eyeing Mr. Carson's office.
"Mom me and Julie did this together and I think we should face it together. I'm just so sorry…we made an appointment for the adoption agency. We both already know we can't keep this baby."
Geneva nodded approvingly, still in shock herself. She signaled that she'd be right back, and headed towards her husband's office. They heard yelling and what sounded like glass breaking. Julie let out a sob, and Andy winced and grabbed her hand. Minutes later, a much calmer Mr. Carson came out of his office, Geneva trailing behind. He walked up to his son, and put his arms around them both, tears appearing at his cheeks. "Son I know you two have made a mistake, and I'm not going to lecture you-the shock should be enough. I just want to let you know…I'm proud, in a way, that you know you can't keep this baby. At 16 a baby wouldn't work."
"I know Dad," he said shaking his head. Julie headed home and fell asleep, knowing her problems were full-fledged.
The next day Julie, Andy, Mrs. Carson, Mr. Carson, Andi, (who had headed home the minute she heard) Mrs. Richardson, and Mr. Richardson, all filed into the small office. They listened as the agent ramble on and on about a plan that sounded good. They could find a couple that was willing to take the boy/girl and raise it, and in the meantime, let Andy and Julie keep in touch with it. They signed the forms and agreed, happy to have finally decided.
"I can't believe them," Andi told Dean, laying her head in his lap. "Shh I know. They made a mistake-one we almost made. Just please, calm down. It'll all turn out ok."
And it did. As the months passed, Julie got heavier, Andy got more hopeful, and Andi and Dean made an even closer bond. Before they knew it, 8 months had passed, and Julie was near her due date. She was actually happy, yet scared about her nearing labor. The couples were also happy about the school year almost being over. Summer, fall, and winter, had flew by and everybody was in touch with their emotions. As they neared the next summer, they all felt more and more anxious for the day when Julie would go into labor.
"Andy," Andi whispered, walking into her brother's room. "Andy I just wanted to say…sorry. For being angry with you and Julie…I know now that you guys made a mistake. It happens to everybody. I just wanted to let you know that I support your decision." She turned to leave the dark room, when a hand caught her arm. Andy stood there in the dark, tears in his eyes.
"Thank you. Thank you for finally forgiving me…I thought you'd be mad forever." They hugged, and headed towards his bed, happy to be made up.

A/N: OK I know this chapter sucked really badly, but I didn't want to drag out all 9 months. I'm going to end this story, probably around chapter 30, but if I get enough emails (hosergirl2u@yahoo.com) lol then I'll make a sequel. Lol well I hope it wasn't that terrible. Chapter 26 should be up soon, thanks!
