I still own nothing. So there.
This story is moving a lot faster both writing and plot wise than i expected, but the muse has me by the ass in this story and in my next one which i'm calling "The Epic" cause its going to be very long and take some research. ITs going to be unlike anything. Trust me.
Chapter 8 Maybe Baby
The two of them headed over to the Simpson residence, pregnancy test in hand-or purse. Iris was scared shitless. Spike knew this.
They walked into the house where Jack and Snake were waiting.
"Hey, honey...hey Iris, whats wrong?" Iris was in tears.
"I can't do this. I'm going to ruin my life. his life. I don't wanna go to jail!" She was sobbing by now.
"IRis, its going to be ok. Lets just take the test." Spike handed Iris the pregnancy test. She took it into the bathroom.
"Whats wrong with Iris?"
"Snake, you'll find out when its time." Spike refused to tell Iris's secret until she was ready. But she had a feeling there was going to be no choice soon.
Iris came out of the bathroom. "Five minutes"
Those five minutes were spent in silence. Then Iris went to the bathroom. She came out white as a sheet. "Positive. I'm going to get fired. I'm going to ruin lives. I"m going to be a mommy."
"Iris, its ok. You just have to think positive." SNake said.
"I'm going to be fired."
"Why?" SNake was wondering what the big deal was-it was just a pregnancy.
"The contract says that we have to be postive roll models. I don't think getting knocked up by one of my students qualifies."
Snake was shocked. He wondered..."Wait, who's the father?"
"Craig is."
"Craig Manning...I'm not even going to ask, Iris. Do you want me to call and have him and Joey come over?"
Iris nodded. Snake picked up the phone, but Spike stopped him. "just a moment, honey." She opened the basement door. "Emma, can you come here and take your brother." Emma did. Spike continued "Joey and Craig and Angela are coming over soon, I think. If they do, you'll need to have Angela as well."
"mom, whats wrong..."
"Its nothing with Snake, honey. IRis is having a problem and we need Joey and Craig over here." Emma nodded and took Jack downstiars.
Then Snake picked up the phone. "Joey? Its me. Is Craig home? We need him and you over here, now. I can't tell you over the phone...just come. Emma will watch Angie when you get here." Snake hung up the phone "They're on their way. Are you ok Iris?"
"Snake, i'm just...scared. I love Craig. I want this child, but I know that i'm going to get in trouble for this. And I hate that. I hate having to ruin his life because of me."
She just sobbed then.
THe first thing Craig saw when he walked into the Simpson house was Iris sobbing. He wanted to run to her, but didn't know if that was a good idea. He didn't know why they were there, had Spinner gone to Raddich?
Spike walked over to them. "Angie, Emma and Jack are downstairs, go down to play ok?" After Angie had left, Joey and Craig were led into the living room, where Iris was sobbing, holding something in her hand.
"Craig." She said, only that. And then she held it up.
Joey realized what it was first. "You sent me over here to show me that your student teacher had a positive pregnancy test?" He flopped into a chair, as Craig very deliberately sat next to Iris. "I mean, its not like its any consern of mine...is it?" He looked at Craig and Iris.
"Iris..."
"Craig...I'm sorry."
Craig reached for Iris just as Joey put two and two together and got a reason to blow his top "Craig...wait...YOU GOT IRIS PREGNANT???"
"Looks that way..." Iris said. "Mr. Jeremiah, I'm horribly sorry"
"Iris, don't." Craig looked at his stepfather. "I used a fake ID over winter break, went to a club, met Iris. I didn't know she was a teacher. ITs my fault."
"ITs both of our faults, sir." Iris started crying again. Craig just held her for long moments, as the three older adults looked at each other. "What am I going to do now."
Snake looked at them. "Iris, you and are going into Raddich's office tomorrow. Craig...you probably should come as well. I don't think he'll fire you, Iris."
"I hope not. I'll really need the teaching job now, supporting a baby."
Joey watched Craig and Iris. "Iris, i don't mean to be rude but...are you sure that having the baby and keeping it is the best option."
"Yes it is. I want this baby. I love this child as much as I love its father." She stopped then, unsure at the responce to what she was saying.
Craig's reaction to that comment, was very much happy. "You love me?" At her nod he bounced on the couch. "You love me! You love me!" He kissed her then. "I love you too, Iris. I want this baby."
Joey sighed. "WE'll have to meet with Raddich tomorrow, then. Iris, maybe if things work out with him, you should move in with us. I don't nkow where you're living now, but..."
"are you sure"
Joey nodded. "I'm not going to lie, I think that eventually you'll realize how old Craig is and end things. But if you want to try, i have to support my son."
"Thank you Joey..."
It was decided that the next day they'd see Raddich before school, see a doctor after school, and then move Iris' things in that weekend.
Iris kissed Craig goodbye, then headed home, scared shitless.
