Haiku was sitting at her bed waiting for Lincoln and Mollie to come back from their "Not Date". Currently, the pregnant teen sat in her room reading the "Tomie" Manga, and she was halfway into it. Currently, she was at a certain part in the manga where one of the many Tomie's were trying to seduce a young boy, but she stopped reading when her phone began to Buzz, she looked over to it and thought it was either Lincoln or Mollie so she picked it up and then looked to see it was Zach.
Haiku's heart almost stopped when she saw the caller ID. She was hesitant to pick up but she knew that she couldn't ignore him forever, and he did have a right to know about her and about the Baby. But what would that do? What would he do? If he left her, could she really take care of a child alone? But what if he didn't leave her?
There were too many "what If's" in the situation it made her heartbeat like crazy and she became extremely nervous. However, she began to calm herself and took deep breathes in and out. She sighed and steeling her nerves she answered the phone, "Zach?" She asked
[Hey Ku, I was wondering if you were ok?] Zach asked [you haven't been answering your phone] He told her
"I'm fine Zach," Haiku said with a soft smile "I've just been... dealing with some things," She told him
[anything I can help out with?] Zach asked
Haiku opened her mouth and was going to tell him "no", but she stopped herself, she thought about it wondering if now was the right time to tell him. She thought about it but she quickly steeled her nerves and she decided to answer him
"Actually, I'm at Mollie's right now and I was wondering if you could come over... I need to tell you something," Haiku told him
[Sure, I can come over, is Mollie ok with me stopping by?] he asked her
Haiku nodded as she held the phone to her ear, "Yeah, she's fine with it" Haiku said
[Alright then, I'll see you in a bit] He told her [Bye, love you]
Haiku hesitated but she smiled, "Love you too," She told him
They both ended the call and Haiku sat in her bed, wondering what was going to happen next. She was worried but she was ready for whatever happened next. Haiku knew from the beginning that being a teen mother wasn't going to be easy, but she needed to face the reality that she was in. She just needed to take the good with the bad.

It's Saturday evening and right now both Lincoln and Mollie were on their way back from the theater after watching some new movies that came out. Some they enjoyed, some they didn't.
"Jesus fucking christ!" Mollie said with a smile "Half of those movies were complete ass"
Lincoln laughed and agreed with her, "I know, like what the hell was some of the plots?" Lincoln asked "For real, there were times where I was so confused, I just wanted to leave the theater"
"Same!" Mollie said with a laugh
They both had large smiles on their faces as they talked about how bad some of the movies were. They stopped laughing and just looked at each other for a split second with soft and kind smiles. Both had truly enjoyed the time they had spent together.
"So how's Haiku doing?" Lincoln asked
"She's good," Mollie said "Though..."
Lincoln looked at her with a confused look, he could tell she was hesitant to say something to him, "What?" He asked
"It's just... she wants to tell Zach," Mollie said
"So?"
Mollie sighed, "So, I'm a bit scared about it, Zach is our friend but being a teen dad, that scares the living shit out of everybody, and yeah some guys will stick around, but some won't and we don't know which is Zach's reaction, I mean, would he take responsibility and or would he leave?" Mollie asked
Lincoln could tell that Mollie had been thinking about this for a long time and she was no doubt deeply worried about it and Lincoln could understand why. Truth be told, he also didn't know what Zach's reaction would be either. Despite growing up with the guy, Lincoln couldn't know his reaction. "I don't know either" Lincoln told her
"I just... I don't know Linc, what if he does run off? What will happen to Haiku?" Mollie asked, "I mean would she try to do something to herself or even the baby?"
Lincoln looked to her and gave her a reassuring look, "Hey, hey, hey, we can't think about all the bad things" Lincoln told her, "Right now, we just need to help her, if she wants to tell him we should support her and if Zach decides to leave her, then we'll be there for Haiku, and we'll help her every step of the way, just like we planned from the start" Lincoln finished
Mollie looked at him and sighed before looking at the ground and looked back at Lincoln and nodded, "Yeah, your right" She said
Lincoln smiled, "Wait, did you say I was right?" Lincoln asked with a smile "Where's my Camera?"
Mollie giggled a little and then softly punched him in the arm, "screw you Undies" She said with a smile
Lincoln laughed with her and they continued to walk back to Lincoln's van and they finally left the parking lot and drove back to Mollie's house, where Haiku was waiting. As they drove back to Mollie's house they listened to some songs but also talked about the movies that they saw and how some of them didn't even make sense.
Eventually, they had arrived back at Mollie's house and were about to pull up into the driveway, but just as they did, Mollie and Lincoln spotted Zach's car pulling up on the curb, which made them curious as to what he was doing here. Once they stopped the car, they got out and met up with Zach who was approaching the door, he too looked a little confused when he saw Lincoln and Mollie get out of the van.
"What are you doing here Zach?" Mollie asked
He looked at her, "Haiku invited me over, I thought you already knew that?" He asked
"Nah, Linc and I have been at the movies most of the day" She replied, she then looked to her house and looked at her window before looking back to Zach, "Haiku invited you over?" Mollie asked with a worried tone
Zach nodded, "Yeah, she said she needed to tell me something important" Zach said
Both Lincoln and Mollie knew what this was about and they had looked at each other with worried looks. Zach noticed this and looked at the two with a confused look and then it was replaced with worry.
"What is it?" Zach asked
Lincoln looked to his friend, "Nothing's wrong Zach" Lincoln told his friend "It's just... what Haiku has to tell you is really important alright, I mean life-changing important, but just please try to remain calm" Lincoln told her
Zach looked at him even more with a worried expression, "Linc? What the hell is going on? Is Haiku ok?" He asked
"She's fine Zach" Mollie answered, "Let's go inside and just let Haiku explain," she told him
With that, the three of them went inside Mollie's house as Zach was both worried and confused as to what was going on, he just hoped that Haiku was ok...
