Hey everybody! I am finally finding time to write. School is finally done with! Now, I don't want to hear any of that "You're lucky" stuff, because we start again on the 16th of August. Yeah, sucks huh?
Well, I kind of know where I'm going with this, but not completely, so hang in there with me, k?
I don't own a thing. Not IaHB NOR the song I used for the titles of the chapters. It's by Lone Star, "I'm already there." Beautiful song, you gotta hear it sometime!
Through Better or Worse Chapter 3
"Wow. William these pancakes are great!"
"Thanks Val. Tyler told me you liked pancakes."
"Well," Mrs. Connell stood up, taking the plates from the table, "shall we head over into the living room?"
Val took a deep breath and looked to Tyler. "It's now or never." She whispered quietly through her teeth.
Val stood up and washed the rest of the dishes with Mrs. Connell. She then took Tyler's arm protectively and walked swiftly into the gorgeous living room of the Connell's home.
"First off I would like to thank you guys for always being there for Tyler and I, it really means a lot to us."
The Connells shook their head and smiled, almost simultaneously.
"Well, I guess I'll cut right to the chase." Val took a deep breath and cursed her tongue as it slowly spelled out the words:
"I'm pregnant."
The smiles on the parent's faces faded into stern, confused looks. Val put a hard look on her face, as if preparing for a long, loud yelling session. However, William cleared his throat, preparing to speak.
"And I assume Tyler is the father?" He looked to his stepson in disapproval.
Silence hung in the air for a few seconds. "Yes, actually, I am." Tyler said, taking over on the talking.
William put his head in his hands and started to massage his head around his temple, showing signs of a headache.
Silence filled the large room. Val was concerned Tyler's parents would kick him out, just like her parent's did her. Tyler was concerned that his parents would never speak to him again. The parents were filled with fear and confusion, and a little anger. The four people gathered their thoughts and prepared for the conversation they would never forget
"Well. First of all I would like to tell you that I am not approving of this. However, you are my son" Mrs. Connell said, placing her sharp eyes on Tyler, "and what happened to Val was on your part also. I may not like it, but I am by you through better or worse."
Tyler reached for Val's hand. She accepted the offer and entangled her fingers into his.
Mrs. Connell looked to William and motioned for him to speak.
"Well, you are family." He said with a fake, yet comforting smile. The two teens looked to each other and smiled.
"But Val, what do your parents think of this?" William said, his words breaking the small amount of comfort that there was in the room.
"Let's just say they weren't as understanding as you guys are." Tyler said. "I was going to loan some money to Val so that she could stay in a hotel around here. She isn't very ----- welcome at her house." Tyler answered cautiously, as if tiptoeing around a world with deep holes everywhere, silently curving around each one.
"Val." William began very slowly. "You always have been and always will be family to us. We would love it for you to stay with," he paused, taking in a deep breath and letting himself to swallow. Tyler leaned forward slightly, very curious and scared of the words that were going to come out of his step fathers mouth.
"Us."
MWAHAHAHAHA I left it here!!!!!!!!! Hehehehehehe. Hey, be happy I didn't stop it before he said where she could stay, even though it was a little obvious………..yeah. It was REALLY short, I know, and it went by fast too. The chapters to come will be much more planned, I promise.
Sorry, this guy is driving me nuts. The radio DJ hasn't been playing any music, just been talking to this weird guy about cows and chickens…it's really weird!
Night everybody, I'm in a weird mood, if you haven't noticed! I need to go to bed, as usual!
Well, I kind of know where I'm going with this, but not completely, so hang in there with me, k?
