"Looking Back" Part 7
As soon as we got home I ran upstairs, didn't even say hello to Stephen or anything to Bobby I just ran upstairs, I went into the bathroom and came back out a few minutes later. I went downstairs and sat on the couch with Bobby who was talking to Stephen. I just sat there, they might have been talking to me who knows, but I wasn't paying attention. I looked up at the clock. 5 minutes. I got up and ran upstairs. Bobby must've been worried because next I knew I heard him behind me on the stairs. "Linds. You okay?" He reached for my arm and looked at me. "Yeah, I just--Well I, you see its just. Well---" God this was impossible to say. "What? What is it Linds? You can tell me anything." "I know. Just stay here for a second okay?" He nodded and gave me a hug. "I'll be standing right here in front of the bathroom door. I'm not going anywhere."
"Okay, give me one second." I walked in and came back out five minutes later in tears. "Are you okay?" He ran to me and hugged me, I just collapsed into his arms. I didn't know what I was going to do, how would I do this? "No, no I'm not. Bobby we need to talk, we need to talk now." We walked into his bedroom and he led me over to his bed and we sat down. He was still holding my hand and I looked into his eyes. "Bobby, I'm, I'm--" "What sweetheart?" He gave my hand a squeeze. "I'm pregnant." There I said it. As soon as I said it I looked into his eyes and he was about to respond when the door flew open and we jumped back. "Hey, everything okay here?" We both looked at him but said nothing. "Uh--yeah, uh yeah dad everything's cool." "Okay. Well why don't you come on down for some lunch."
"We'll be down in a second." "Okay." Stephen walked out and I was still sitting there in shock. I turned back to Bobby. "Bobby?" Nothing. "Bobby?" "You're--I mean you're, wait you're. Could you say that again?" I kind of chuckled. "I'm pregnant." "Huh?"
"Pregnant. You know a baby? Inside me."
"Why? How? Pregnant?"
"Well, why, because you and I--"
"I know that."
"How, when a man and a woman do the 'why' part this is what happens. You see a man--" "Got that too Lindsay." I giggled again. "And pregnant, it's when we put the 'why' and the 'how' together and you get a baby inside a woman and then nine months later we get the baby. Do you understan that or you need me to run it by again?" "Thank you very much Lindsay, but I think I get it." He smiled at me, sat closer to me and put a hand on my stomach. "Hey little baby." "Bobby I don't think the baby can hear you yet."
"Shh...I'm talking to my ba--bab--my ba--" "Your baby?" "Yeah that. Sorry it's just a little hard to say."
"I know what you mean." We sat there for a second. "What are we going to do?" "We're gonna have a baby right?" "Well,, yeah, but we're teenagers Bobby, how are we going to do this?"
"I don't know but we're having a baby." Bobby seemed so excited and that made me happy because I thought he'd be mad. "So you're not mad?"
"Mad? Why would I be mad?"
"Well, I don't know I just thought because."
"If you think I would think it's your fault you're wrong." I looked up. How did he know what I was thinking. :How'd you know what I was thinking?"
"I know you. Lindsay it's not your fault. We were both there that night."
"Well at least you understood that part of the whole thing." I couldn't help but tease him. "Ha.ha. You're so funny." "What about your dad, my family. Bobby they'll disown me. They will."
"Hey don't worry, you've got my family."
"They won't disown you too?"
"Nah. Sure I'll get my ass kicked but they'll still love you and I." "I'm just scared how we're going to tell them. We need to be 100% sure first."
"You mean we might not be?" He really looked upset. "No no I'm sure but I need to go see a doctor. I don't have a OBGYN so I guess I'll have to call my regular doctor and see if she can refer me to anyone." "Okay, can' I come?"
"Yeah, of course, actually I was really hoping you would." "Than I'll be there."
"Great, we'll eat lunch and then I'll call."
"Okay." We walked to the door but I stopped him. "And Bobby, mums the word to anybody until we know."
"Okay gottcha." We kissed and walked down to the kitchen where there were sandwiches waiting for us. "Eat up kids and than Lindsay I think you should rest, you look beat."
"Thanks Stephen, I am really tired." We all sat at the table and ate lunch. After lunch I went upstairs and went into my bedroom to call Dr. Banfield and she told me to come down and she would refer me to an OBGYN. I walked into Bobby's bedroom. "Hey you." He looked up from his homework. Listen to that homework. Here we are worrying about having a baby when our biggest worry should be whether or not we meat a deadline for our projects. "Hey, I have an appointment in an hour we should probably get going." He got up to grabd his keys. "Okay, I'm set." "Okay let's go." We walked downstairs and told Stephen we were going out but we'd be back in a while. 'Okay, don't be gone too long." "We won't dad." And we drove to my doctor's office. When we got there we waited for about 15 minutes when I was called in. "Lindsay Dole." I stood and looked back at Bobby.
"Will you come in with me?" I needed him. I was so scared. "Yes. Of course I will. We walked in hand in hand. "Have a seat and Dr. Banfield will be right in." We waited another 5 minutes when Dr. Banfield walked in with another doctor behind her. "Hello Lindsay. I'd like you to meet Dr. McDowell, she's an OBGYN tthat I'd like you to meet. We'll try and see how it goes with her and if you're comfortable with her we'll keep with her okay?" "Okay."
"Great let's get started." Dr. McDowell walked over to me. "We're going to do a urine sample and blood test okay?" I cringed and wrinkled my nose. "Um.. Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Didn't think so. Okay. Let's get it over with." She handed me the cup and left me and Bobby in the room together. I turned to him, he was laughing. "You think this is funny?" He nodded. I threw the cup at him and he caught it and threw it right back at me. "Gross, I don't want that. That's your job." I walked towards the bathroom. "Yeah thanks to you." And I walked into the bathroom closing the door. I couldn't believe I had to do this. I heard a knock on the door. "What?" "Take your time, there's no rush." I heard Bobby teasing me on the other side of the door. "Oh shut up." I came out a few minutes later and Bobby was sitting on the chair looking bored. "Well don't look so excited." "You took long enough." "I can't force myself you know, so would you shut up. Where's the doctor?"
"She came in last winter and said she'd be back for spring."
"Would you shut up. I didn't take that long." I put the cup on the counter next to the sink and sat on his lap. "Ugh. Do you mind?" I giggled. "What? I can't sit in your lap?"
"Yeah you can but don't get used to this in a couple months you might not be." "Fine." The doctor walked in and looked at us. "Maybe the reason we're here is because you two enjoyed sharing a chair last time?" We both kind of laughed and blushed. "Alright Lynds I'm gonna take this and give you a blood test." "Must we do a blood test. I'm scared of needles." "Yes, I'm sorry. I'll make it quick." They took my blood and left again. About 30 minutes later Dr. McDowell was back. "Okay Lindsay we've got your results and you are indeed pregnant." I was still sitting on Bobby's lap, shocked. I felt him squueze my hand and I turned to him only to see a huge smile across his face. He grabbed my face and kissed me. When we pulled back he looked right into my eyes. "We're having a baby." He whispered to me. "Yeah we are." I turned back to the doctor who was still talking to me. "Okay Lindsay, you're almost 3 months along, I want to put you on prenatal vitamins now and you have to keep from alcohol, which I hope isn't a problem anyways, smoking, and caffine. I want to see you back here in a month and we'll do an ultrasound to listen for the heartbeat. You can mak an appointoment on your way out."
"Okay great." My voice was still really shaky. "You won't let my parents know will you?"
"No, because of doctor/patient privelege prevents us from it. It's up to you to tell your parents, if you want us to make an appointment with a therapist you can tell them and have the therapist present." "No that's okay, I was just wondering." I stood up and reached for Bobby's hand and we walked to the door. "Thank you Dr. McDowell."
"No problem Lindsay, it's my job. That's why I'm here. If there is anything you need give me a call."
"Thank you again." Bobby said and shook her hand. We walked to the car in silence. When we got in Bobby was the first to speak. "We're having a baby." I turned to him and smiled I leaned over and kissed him. "Yeah, we are." The drive home was silent. We got into the house and Stephen wasn't there. I went into the kitchen and there was a note on the fridge from Stephen. 'Linds and Bobby, went out to the market I'll be back in about a half hour. Bobby there is a letter on the table for you and Linds the DA called and wanted you to phone him at home-349-8826. love, Stephen. ' I walked upstairs after grabbing the letter for Bobby and the phone. I walked into Bobby's room. "Hey what's up?" I walked over to his bed. "You got something in the mail today."
"Okay just throw it on my desk I'll read it later." I put it on his desk gave him a kiss and walked to the door. "Where you going?" "DA called, he told me to phone him back so I'm gonna see what he wanted."
"You okay?"
"Me? Fine why?"
"Well after the day we've had I'm just worried that's all." "I'm fine." I smiled, blew him a kiss and walked to my bedroom. I dialed the number and a heard his voice on the other end. "Hello."
"Hi, It's Lindsay. You asked me to call you?"
"Yeah, could you come down and meet with me tomorrow at noon? I know you have school and I hate keeping you away but I need to talk to you."
"Um. Yeah that's fine. Don't worry about it." "Okay great." I hung up and Bobby walked in.
"So what's up?"
"I have to meet with the DA tomorrow, he said he has something to tell me." "Alrighty. What time?"
"Noon." Bobby walked over and sat on my bed. He just sat there and smiled at me. "What?" "Nothing, I just can't believe we're having a baby." I smiled. "Me either." I leaned in and kissed him. "Kids!" We both heard Stephen and we pulled apart. "Coming dad." We ran downstairs and into the kitchen where there were bags of Kentucky Fried Chicken sitting there. "Yummy. KFC!" I said a little too excited. I heard Bobby laughing at me. We sat down and had dinner and then went into the living room and watched the Thursday night line up. A supersized Friends, Good Morning Miami, Will & Grace and then ER. Bobby and I stayed up for the 11 o'clock news but Stephen went to sleep. At midnight we finally went upstairs and kissed each other goodnight before going to bed. I went into my bedroom and got ready for bed, I got into bed and turned the TV on, turning the volume down. I just laid there I couldn't sleep. Between the thoughts of my mother and the baby. I smiled and put my hand on my stomach and fell into a deep sleep. I was the first to wake the next morning and I walked downstairs after spending more time than I would have liked sick in the bathroom. I went to the bread box and made myself some toast when I heard Stephen and Bobby coming down, Stephen had just finished getting ready for work and Bobby looked like he had just come from the shower. "Morning Linds." Stephen walked over to the coffee maker to make some coffee. "Morning Stephen." "How'd you sleep?"
"Um..Okay I guess." Bobby walked over and kissed me. "Hey sweetie."
"Morning." I finished my toast and made Bobby some before walking upstairs to shower. Once I was done I went back downstairs and it was about 9 am. Bobby and Stephen were sitting at the kitchen table. "Well I better get going I'm going to be late for work. Are you guys going in at all or no?" "No not today so if you could call the school, I think Linds and I have enough unexcused absences."
"Okay, I'll call them when I get into work." "Okay bye dad, thanks."
"Bye Stephen."
"Bye kids, call me and let me know how everything goes." "I will dad." Bobby and I went into the living room after Stephen had left and sat on the couch. "So how you feeling today?"
"Well I was a little sick this morning but I'm okay now and it was hard for me to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about the baby and my mom." I saw him smiling. "I couldn't sleep either, it's so exciting."
"Yeah. Now I just have to worry about today." He reached for my hand and gave it a squeeze. "It'll be okay, I promise. I'm going to be right there the whole time, don't worry." "I know and thank you."
"Don't thank me, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." We sat around talking about how we were going to deal with having a baby and how exciting and happy we were and how great it was going to be. Next we knew it was 11:30 and time to go. We drove listening to music but we didn't talk, neither knew what to say. We walked into the DA's office 5 minutes late. "Hi Lindsay."
"Hi, I'm sorry we're late." I sat down in front of his desk. "No worries." Bobby sat in the chair next to me and held my hand. "So what's up?" My voice was already getting shaky. "Well I was going through the reports and papers. I cam across divorce settlement issues from your parents divorce."
"Yeah so?" I couldn't see how this had anything to do with my mom. "Well, when your father left and they divorced he gave the money to you and your brother, not your mother. The only way for your mother to get the money would be if you were to die." And that's when I caught on. "So you think she did this to try and get my money?"
"Yes."
"But my mom is wealthy she has money. Why would she need mine?"
"Well it looks as if your mother has been having trouble paying off her bills lately and some people just don't think the money they have is enough."
"Wow." "So thats the only thing we have to go against her with?"
"No, the fact that you have a new boyfriend she didn't aprove of it when she met him, that's not a big thing but it is someting. We found her prints on the knife and scapings under your nails and prints on you. We have a lot to go forward with." "Okay."
"Alright so we go into trial in a month unless I can get her to plead guilty which is what I'm going to try and do, if that's what you want me to do."
"Okay, if you think we should go for it, I would like that better than sitting through trial."
"Okay, I'll try the plea and give you a call.Take care alright?"
"I will. Thank you so much."
"No problem." We walked back to the car. "I don't feel like going home yet, what about you?" Bobby said as he opened my door for me. "No not really, but where should we go?" "Baby shopping." I turned to him and saw his smile. "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl."
"That's okay we can shop for both."
"Okay." We were both smiling and we went to the Buckland Hills Mall and into the Baby's R' Us store. When I walked in I couldn't believe all the baby things I saw there were so many things and I think Bobby was just as excited as me. "Well where to first?" He wrapped his arm around my waist and started walking further into the store. "Hmm..Clothes. I always thought the baby clothes were the cutest ever." We walked over to the clothes part and there were so many little baby outfits. "Ohh. Bobby look at this." I held up a little tigger and pooh bear pajama outfit. "It's so tiny." He smiled and kind of laughed at me. "I'm guessing we're getting that?"
"Yes, well if you want. Do you like it?" "I think it's cute." We bought 6 different outfits. 2 outifts if it's a girl. 2 if it's a boy and 2 that could be worn as either. We walked out of the mall after having lunch there and other shopping and I laid my head on his shoulder as we walked to his car. "Thanks for everything today Bobby."
"You're quite welcome." "Do you think we should tell your dad when we get home?" "If you want to, we're going to have to soon. Might as well get it over with."
"Yeah." We drove home and when we got home it was about 5:30 and Stephen was just getting in the driveway. "Hey you two were you out all day?" "Yes, we went to the DA's and then shopping and then lunch." "Oh well at least you had a good day then right?"
"Yeah we did dad." We all walked into the house and went into the kitchen. "How about pork chops for dinner?" "Sounds fine Stephen."
"Yeah sounds great dad." Bobby and I looked at each other and he nodded his head. "Uh..Stephen?" He looked up from the stove where he was starting dinner. "Yeah?"
"Bobby and I need to talk to you after if that's okay?"
"It sounds important yeah that's fine." "Okay great." We all stood there for a few minutes Stephen was busy cooking dinner and Bobby and I were just standing there drinking soda. "Oh hey Bobby I meant to ask you did you finally open that letter from the other day? I wanted you to do it the other day while I was here but I left."
"No not yet, I didn't think it was important. I'll go get it I think Lindsay put it on--"
"Your desk." I chimed in wondering how important a letter could be. "Right thanks sweetie, I'll go get it." He ran upstairs to get the letter. "Well Linds, what is it you wanted to tell me?" I looked up towards the stairs and back at Stephen. "Well, I just, we just wanted you to know that Bobby and I---" "Yessssssssss!! Oh my god baby! Dad?" Bobby came running in the kitchen with the letter in his hands and grabbed me and kissed me, I was so shocked and not expecting it. He pulled away finally and turned to Stephen. "What is it son?" "Yeah Bobby are you okay?" "I'm better than okay! I just got accepted to Boston University! I'm going to BU!" Stephen walked over and hugged Bobby and I stood there,staring in to the air right into space. And I put my hand up to my stocmach. "Well what do you think Linds? I'm going to BU!" I didn't move and then I just ran up the stairs and into my room crying, holding my stomach.
Well thats the end of part 7 I'll work on part 8 if you'd all like me too. Feedback is much loved!!

"Pregnant. You know a baby? Inside me."
"Why? How? Pregnant?"
"Well, why, because you and I--"
"I know that."
"How, when a man and a woman do the 'why' part this is what happens. You see a man--" "Got that too Lindsay." I giggled again. "And pregnant, it's when we put the 'why' and the 'how' together and you get a baby inside a woman and then nine months later we get the baby.

"Bobby I don't think the baby can hear you yet."
"Shh...I'm talking to my ba--bab--my ba--" "Your baby?" "Yeah that. Sorry it's just a little hard to say."
"I know what you mean." We sat there for a second. "What are we going to do?" "We're gonna have a baby right?" "Well,, yeah, but we're teenagers Bobby, how are we going to do this?"
"I don't know but we're having a baby." Bobby seemed so excited and that made me happy because I thought he'd be mad. "So you're not mad?"
"Mad? Why would I be mad?"
"Well, I don't know I just thought because."
"If you think I would think it's your fault you're wrong." I looked up. How did he know what I was thinking. :How'd you know what I was thinking?"
"I know you. Lindsay it's not your fault. We were both there that night."
"Well at least you understood that part of the whole thing." I couldn't help but tease him. "Ha.ha. You're so funny." "What about your dad, my family. Bobby they'll disown me. They will."
"Hey don't worry, you've got my family."
"They won't disown you too?"
"Nah. Sure I'll get my ass kicked but they'll still love you and I." "I'm just scared how we're going to tell them. We need to be 100% sure first."
"You mean we might not be?" He really looked upset. "No no I'm sure but I need to go see a doctor. I don't have a OBGYN so I guess I'll have to call my regular doctor and see if she can refer me to anyone." "Okay, can' I come?"
"Yeah, of course, actually I was really hoping you would." "Than I'll be there."

We walked downstairs and told Stephen we were going out but we'd be back in a while. 'Okay, don't be gone too long." "We won't dad." And we drove to my doctor's office. When we got there we waited for about 15 minutes when I was called in. "Lindsay Dole." I stood and looked back at Bobby.
"Will you come in with me?" I needed him. I was so scared. "Yes. Of course I will. We walked in hand in hand. "Have a seat and Dr. Banfield will be right in." We waited another 5 minutes when Dr. Banfield walked in with another doctor behind her. "Hello Lindsay. I'd like you to meet Dr. McDowell, she's an OBGYN tthat I'd like you to meet. We'll try and see how it goes with her and if you're comfortable with her we'll keep with her okay?" "Okay."
"Great let's get started." Dr. McDowell walked over to me. "We're going to do a urine sample and blood test okay?" I cringed and wrinkled my nose. "Um.. Do I have a choice?"
"No."
"Didn't think so. Okay. Let's get it over with." She handed me the cup and left me and Bobby in the room together. I turned to him, he was laughing. "You think this is funny?" He nodded.

"You took long enough." "I can't force myself you know, so would you shut up. Where's the doctor?"
"She came in last winter and said she'd be back for spring."
"Would you shut up. I didn't take that long." I put the cup on the counter next to the sink and sat on his lap. "Ugh. Do you mind?" I giggled. "What? I can't sit in your lap?"
"Yeah you can but don't get used to this in a couple months you might not be." "Fine." The doctor walked in and looked at us. "Maybe the reason we're here is because you two enjoyed sharing a chair last time?" We both kind of laughed and blushed. "Alright Lynds I'm gonna take this and give you a blood test."

"Me? Fine why?"
"Well after the day we've had I'm just worried that's all." "I'm fine." I smiled, blew him a kiss and walked to my bedroom. I dialed the number and a heard his voice on the other end. "Hello."
"Hi, It's Lindsay. You asked me to call you?"
"Yeah, could you come down and meet with me tomorrow at noon? I know you have school and I hate keeping you away but I need to talk to you."
"Um. Yeah that's fine. Don't worry about it." "Okay great." I hung up and Bobby walked in.
"So what's up?"
"I have to meet with the DA tomorrow, he said he has something to tell me." "Alrighty. What time?"
"Noon." Bobby walked over and sat on my bed. He just sat there and smiled at me. "What?" "Nothing, I just can't believe we're having a baby." I smiled. "Me either." I leaned in and kissed him. "Kids!" We both heard Stephen and we pulled apart. "Coming dad." We ran downstairs and into the kitchen where there were bags of Kentucky Fried Chicken sitting there. "Yummy. KFC!" I said a little too excited. I heard Bobby laughing at me. We sat down and had dinner and then went into the living room and watched the Thursday night line up. A supersized Friends, Good Morning Miami, Will & Grace and then ER. Bobby and I stayed up for the 11 o'clock news but Stephen went to sleep. At midnight we finally went upstairs and kissed each other goodnight before going to bed. I went into my bedroom and got ready for bed, I got into bed and turned the TV on, turning the volume down. I just laid there I couldn't sleep. Between the thoughts of my mother and the baby. I smiled and put my hand on my stomach and fell into a deep sleep. I was the first to wake the next morning and I walked downstairs after spending more time than I would have liked sick in the bathroom. I went to the bread box and made myself some toast when I heard Stephen and Bobby coming down, Stephen had just finished getting ready for work and Bobby looked like he had just come from the shower. "Morning Linds." Stephen walked over to the coffee maker to make some coffee. "Morning Stephen." "How'd you sleep?"
"Um..Okay I guess." Bobby walked over and kissed me. "Hey sweetie."
"Morning." I finished my toast and made Bobby some before walking upstairs to shower. Once I was done I went back downstairs and it was about 9 am. Bobby and Stephen were sitting at the kitchen table. "Well I better get going I'm going to be late for work. Are you guys going in at all or no?" "No not today so if you could call the school, I think Linds and I have enough unexcused absences."
"Okay, I'll call them when I get into work." "Okay bye dad, thanks."
"Bye Stephen."
"Bye kids, call me and let me know how everything goes." "I will dad." Bobby and I went into the living room after Stephen had left and sat on the couch. "So how you feeling today?"
"Well I was a little sick this morning but I'm okay now and it was hard for me to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about the baby and my mom." I saw him smiling. "I couldn't sleep either, it's so exciting."
"Yeah. Now I just have to worry about today." He reached for my hand and gave it a squeeze. "It'll be okay, I promise. I'm going to be right there the whole time, don't worry." "I know and thank you."
"Don't thank me, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." We sat around talking about how we were going to deal with having a baby and how exciting and happy we were and how great it was going to be. Next we knew it was 11:30 and time to go. We drove listening to music but we didn't talk, neither knew what to say. We walked into the DA's office 5 minutes late. "Hi Lindsay."
"Hi, I'm sorry we're late." I sat down in front of his desk. "No worries." Bobby sat in the chair next to me and held my hand. "So what's up?" My voice was already getting shaky. "Well I was going through the reports and papers. I cam across divorce settlement issues from your parents divorce."
"Yeah so?" I couldn't see how this had anything to do with my mom. "Well, when your father left and they divorced he gave the money to you and your brother, not your mother. The only way for your mother to get the money would be if you were to die." And that's when I caught on. "So you think she did this to try and get my money?"
"Yes."
"But my mom is wealthy she has money. Why would she need mine?"
"Well it looks as if your mother has been having trouble paying off her bills lately and some people just don't think the money they have is enough."
"Wow." "So thats the only thing we have to go against her with?"
"No, the fact that you have a new boyfriend she didn't aprove of it when she met him, that's not a big thing but it is someting. We found her prints on the knife and scapings under your nails and prints on you. We have a lot to go forward with." "Okay."
"Alright so we go into trial in a month unless I can get her to plead guilty which is what I'm going to try and do, if that's what you want me to do."
"Okay, if you think we should go for it, I would like that better than sitting through trial."
"Okay, I'll try the plea and give you a call.Take care alright?"
"I will. Thank you so much."
"No problem." We walked back to the car. "I don't feel like going home yet, what about you?" Bobby said as he opened my door for me. "No not really, but where should we go?" "Baby shopping." I turned to him and saw his smile. "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl."
"That's okay we can shop for both."
"Okay." We were both smiling and we went to the Buckland Hills Mall and into the Baby's R' Us store. When I walked in I couldn't believe all the baby things I saw there were so many things and I think Bobby was just as excited as me. "Well where to first?" He wrapped his arm around my waist and started walking further into the store. "Hmm..Clothes. I always thought the baby clothes were the cutest ever." We walked over to the clothes part and there were so many little baby outfits. "Ohh. Bobby look at this." I held up a little tigger and pooh bear pajama outfit. "It's so tiny." He smiled and kind of laughed at me. "I'm guessing we're getting that?"
"Yes, well if you want. Do you like it?" "I think it's cute." We bought 6 different outfits. 2 outifts if it's a girl. 2 if it's a boy and 2 that could be worn as either. We walked out of the mall after having lunch there and other shopping and I laid my head on his shoulder as we walked to his car. "Thanks for everything today Bobby."
"You're quite welcome." "Do you think we should tell your dad when we get home?" "If you want to, we're going to have to soon. Might as well get it over with."
"Yeah." We drove home and when we got home it was about 5:30 and Stephen was just getting in the driveway. "Hey you two were you out all day?" "Yes, we went to the DA's and then shopping and then lunch." "Oh well at least you had a good day then right?"
"Yeah we did dad." We all walked into the house and went into the kitchen. "How about pork chops for dinner?" "Sounds fine Stephen."
"Yeah sounds great dad." Bobby and I looked at each other and he nodded his head. "Uh..Stephen?" He looked up from the stove where he was starting dinner. "Yeah?"
"Bobby and I need to talk to you after if that's okay?"
"It sounds important yeah that's fine." "Okay great." We all stood there for a few minutes Stephen was busy cooking dinner and Bobby and I were just standing there drinking soda. "Oh hey Bobby I meant to ask you did you finally open that letter from the other day? I wanted you to do it the other day while I was here but I left."
"No not yet, I didn't think it was important. I'll go get it I think Lindsay put it on--"
"Your desk." I chimed in wondering how important a letter could be. "Right thanks sweetie, I'll go get it." He ran upstairs to get the letter. "Well Linds, what is it you wanted to tell me?" I looked up towards the stairs and back at Stephen. "Well, I just, we just wanted you to know that Bobby and I---" "Yessssssssss!! Oh my god baby! Dad?" Bobby came running in the kitchen with the letter in his hands and grabbed me and kissed me, I was so shocked and not expecting it. He pulled away finally and turned to Stephen. "What is it son?" "Yeah Bobby are you okay?" "I'm better than okay! I just got accepted to Boston University! I'm going to BU!" Stephen walked over and hugged Bobby and I stood there,staring in to the air right into space. And I put my hand up to my stocmach. "Well what do you think Linds? I'm going to BU!" I didn't move and then I just ran up the stairs and into my room crying, holding my stomach.
