The guys had grabbed some pop and were walking out to the garage. "I have something to tell you," they heard Sammy reply.
"Sh," Spinner whispered. "I want to listen." Marco and Jimmy nodded. Paige and Dylan walked out behind them and stood there next to the garage.
"What is it, Sam?" Craig asked.
"Never mind," Sammy replied.
"No," Spinner mouthed.
Marco took a drink of his pop.
"No, what is it?" Craig asked.
"I'm scared to tell you," Sammy said, bursting into tears.
"Sammy, what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant, Craig!"
Marco had taken another drink and tried to swallow it but then started to cough.
Craig and Sammy didn't show any sign of them outside. Craig put Gabriel down on the garage floor.
"Why were you scared to tell me?" he whispered.
"I thought you wouldn't want a baby," Sammy said.
Craig looked at her. "You're not going to get an abortion are you?"
"What?" Sammy asked.
Craig shook his head. "Last year I got Manny pregnant but she got an abortion," he said.
"What? You mean, this has happened to you before?" Sammy asked.
Craig nodded. "But I never got to even see the baby," he replied. "It ruined my life. I mean, I lost my mom, my dad, my first kid. It killed me."
"I would never get an abortion," she said.
"Marco, are you ok?" Joey asked, walking outside. Marco was coughing still but he gave a thumbs up sign. "Ok, what's going on?" Joey looked in at Craig and Sammy.
Sammy looked up at him and then turned away.
"We have to tell him," Craig said, to her. Sammy nodded.
"Tell me what?" Joey asked.
"It happened again," Craig replied.
"What happened again?"
"I'm pregnant," Sammy said, to him.
"And I'm the father."
Joey's smiling face faded. "What?" he asked.
"Uh, we're gonna go," Spinner said. Spinner and Marco had seen Joey pissed and they didn't want to again. And neither did any of the others.
"Yeah, bye!" Marco replied. He turned and the others followed him and they took off.
"I better go," Sammy said, she grabbed Gabriel's hand and he handed her the monkey.
"I want you to stay," Joey replied. "Come into the living room."
Craig picked Gabriel up and carried him into the house with Sammy right behind him.
"Angie go upstairs," Joey said, when he walked into the house. Angela and Caitlin were coloring. "Caitlin, take Gabriel. I have to talk to these two."
"Uh oh!" Angela exclaimed.
"Yeah, uh oh," Craig said.
Caitlin took Gabriel from Craig and grabbed Angela's coloring book and walked with the two of them upstairs.
"Sit!" Joey snapped pointing at the couch.
Craig and Sammy sat down on the couch next to each other. "Joey, it's no big deal," Craig said. "I've been through this before."
"And so have I," Sammy said.
"I don't want to hear it," Joey snapped. "You guys had unprotected sex and now she's pregnant. That is one of the consequences of unprotected sex if you didn't know."
"Joey," Craig said.
"Craig, how are you going to take care of her? And the baby?"
"And Gabriel," Craig added.
"Fine, how are you going to take care of all of them?" Joey asked. "I don't pay you enough at Jeremiah Motors."
"I could get another job," Craig said. He wished that Joey's face wouldn't be that red, he was afraid a vessel in his neck would pop. "I'll accept full responsibility of what I did."
"We'll finish high school," Sammy replied.
"Yeah," Craig said.
"Finish high school while taking care of a baby?!" Joey asked.
"Hey," Caitlin said from the stairs. "Spike did that. She finished high school and took care of Emma at the same time."
"Caitlin! Do you mind I'm trying to make a point to them at what they did was wrong," Joey said.
"We get it," Craig replied.
"But it's not entirely Craig's fault," Sammy said. "It takes two to make a baby."
Joey looked at the two of them. "Well, then neither one of you should have done anything."
"Joey!" Caitlin yelled from the stairs. She walked down and over to him.
"What?" Joey asked.
"Don't yell at them."
"Why?"
"You're making a big deal over nothing."
"Over nothing? Caitlin, this is a baby we're talking about!"
"Spike took care of Emma, and look how Emma turned out."
"I know," Joey said. "I just don't think these two are ready to parents."
"Are you?"
"What?"
"Ready to be a parent?"
"I'm already a parent."
"Again?"
Joey looked at Caitlin. "What are you trying to say?" he asked.
"Joey, I found out two days ago that I was pregnant," Caitlin said.
Craig and Sammy's eyes widened. Joey looked like he was ready to faint but he caught himself.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm two months pregnant Joey," Caitlin repeated.
"When were you going to tell me?"
"Tonight at dinner."
Joey felt a little embarrassed by the whole ordeal.
"Joey," Craig teased. "You're preaching to us about having unprotected sex and here you are."
"Shut up Craig," Joey said.
Craig laughed.
"Joey, you're not mad are you?" Caitlin asked.
"Not at you," Joey said, he jerked his head to the two teens sitting on the couch. "Them."
"Joey," Caitlin replied.
"What?"
"Leave them alone about it. Let them face this by themselves."
"Do you think they're ready?"
"Do you think you're ready?"
"For what?"
"For change. To be a…step grandparent and a parent at the same time?"
Joey sighed. "I guess not," he said. "But I guess I'll have to. Won't I?"
Caitlin smiled and nodded.
"Mommy!" Gabriel yelled from upstairs. "Go home now?"
"Yeah," Sammy said. She stood up and Craig followed. "See you tomorrow."
"Yeah," Craig replied. He leaned down and pecked a kiss on Sammy's lips.
Sammy walked upstairs and got Gabriel and then came back down and went home.
