[Prologue]

"I've known for almost a month now and I still haven't been able to Michael. I know I have to tell him, but it's easier to just pretend everything's fine. God, I am so in over my head.". Maria confessed to Kyle with her head in her hands.

"Your pregnant?! How could you have let this happened? Your smarter than this Maria." Kyle said to his sister with shock and disappointment. But when he saw how scared Maria looked Kyle softened and gave her a hug.

"I just, don't know what to do." Maria said through tears.

[Chapter One]

"Hey Kyle, how's life?" Liz said with a smile as Kyle entered the Crash Down.

"Not too good Liz.look there's something I gotta tell you about Maria.but not here. When do you get off?"

"What, is she okay?" Liz asked fearing the worst.

"Look I can't talk now but I'll meet you back here at closing, okay?" Kyle said in a hurry and then left the restaurant. On his way out the door Kyle ran into Isabel, Max and Michael without even looking up.

"Hey Liz, what's his problem?" Isabel said with a small chuckle as she sat down at the bar with Max and Michael.

"Don't ask, he's way over ampted.but anyway! What can I get for you guys today?". Liz took their orders but didn't take her eyes off Max the entire time. She brought the trio there lunch and then headed back in the kitchen to help out.

"Where's Maria been lately Michael? I haven't seen her at school for a couple days." Max asked Michael.

"Your guess is as good as mine.I think she's been avoiding me lately-". Before Michael could finish his sentence Liz walked in from the kitchen, "Michael, Maria just called she needs to talk to you. She said it's an emergency."

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Michael asked a little worried, but guessing it was just the usual 'Maria drama'.

"She at her house." Liz said when a crash coming from the kitchen interrupted her.

"Alright, well I better go.see 'ya guys later." Michael left the crash down and headed for Maria's.

[Chapter Two]

Maria's Mom and Dad were out of town on vacation and Maria asked Kyle for some time alone for a while, so she had the house to her self. She knew now was the perfect time to tell Michael about the baby, and besides, she was already halfway through her first trimester -time was running out. After about ten minutes of waiting on her front porch for Michael Maria heard his motorcycle coming up to the house.

"What's the emergency?" He asked as he sat down next to her.

Maria focused on her hands instead of on Michael, "I'm pregnant Michael."

Neither one of them talked, moved or even breathed for the next several seconds and then, finally Michael broke the silence. "How long?" He was now intently focused on his hands as well, and his voice held no emotion.

"Seven weeks, I think I want to, um, keep the baby." Maria's eyes were filled with tears, and the fear in her voice was evident. There was another long silence between the two, until Michael got up and started walking toward his bike.

"Where are you going?" Maria was crying now, the nightmare that Michael might want nothing to do with her or the baby was becoming more and more real to Maria every second.

Michael didn't turn around to answer her; he just stopped in his tracks. "This is just.too much. I need to think, I'm sorry." And then he got on to his bike and road off down the street.
