Chapter 5
Cory and Topanga were still in the park. They were walking on one of the many paths in the park. They loved being here. It reminded them of how they met, how much they loved each other, and how they would be together forever. Their walk was fairly quiet. Every once in a while, one of them would say something and they would talk for a few minutes but not much else. They were both scared to death, about having a baby AND telling their parents. They weren't sure which would be worse. Cory knew both his parents would probably pop a lobe and have a heart attack. Topanga's parents, however, they weren't so sure about. They didn't even live here and so telling her parents was definitely going to be interesting. But first, they had decided to tell their friends. Their friends would hopefully be there for them and not judge them. And it might make them feel a little less nervous about telling their parents, because even if the parents got really mad at them (which they most like would), they knew they would still have their friends.
They kept walking for about 10 minutes when they decided to head towards the apartment to tell their friends their announcement. They walked into the tall apartment complex's double doors. The elevator doors were already open due to a small group of people walking out of the elevator. After everyone had cleared the elevator, Cory and Topanga entered. They waited for the elevator to reach floor 3. As the doors opened, Cory started to walk out but Topanga just stood in the elevator, not moving a muscle. She was worried and Cory could tell. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the elevator. They stood in the hallway where Cory took Topanga's hands,
"Are you ok Topanga?"
"I don't know, I mean before I wanted to get it out in the open and just have everyone know. Now I'm not so sure."
"Well they don't know we're here. We could just turn around and not tell tonight. You make the call."
"No, no we should tell them while we're here. The sooner we get it out in the open, the better." Topanga said as she headed toward the door to apartment 3E. Cory walked up next to her and took her hand in one of his hands and knocked 3 clear knocks on the door with the other hand. After a minute of waiting, Shawn answered the door.
"Hey guys! What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk to you, actually we need to talk to all of you guys, is everyone here?" Cory asked as they walked in.
"Yea, Angela's in the bathroom and Eric and Jack are in Jack's room studying." Shawn said as he led his friends in and gave them both a soda.
"Well um can you get them, this is really important, and it would be easier to tell you all at once," Topanga said as she opened her soda can and sat down on the couch. Cory sat down next to her.
"Um sure. Let me go get them," Shawn said looking at them with a questioning look as he headed up the stairs to get Angela, Jack, and Eric. As soon as he wasn't in hearing distance, Topanga leaned her head on Cory's shoulder. She was really nervous and she was trying really hard not to fall apart.
"It's gonna be ok, really, we're gonna get through this," Cory said as he held Topanga in a comforting hug, a hug that told her that he really did care and even if everyone else pushed them out of their lives, he would stay by her side and never leave her, especially in this situation. They were so caught up in what was going on that they didn't realize their 4 friends standing right behind them.
"Get through what?" Angela asked.
Topanga and Cory looked at them in surprise. Cory decided to speak up after the slightly awkward silence.
"Um well that's what we wanted to talk to you guys about, we really need to tell you something."
"Well what is it? Come on you can tell us," Jack said.
"Ok well what we wanted to tell you, it's pretty big and unexpected and." Topanga started but was cut off by the other 4.
"JUST TELL US!"
"Ok, listen you guys, um, Topanga's pregnant," Cory said.
"What do you mean she's pregnant?" Shawn asked, "You're only 18, we all still have to graduate high school."
"Don't you think we realized that?" Topanga said in a little bit of a bitter tone.
"I can't believe it! I'm too old to be a grandbrother [a/n-I got this line from the 2nd season opener of 8 simple rules (R.I.P. John Ritter), I thought it was a very Eric line]!" Eric said in a shrieking tone. Everyone just ignored him since they knew he was just being Eric.
"Well excuse me Topanga, but I'm not the one who doesn't know self control!" Shawn snapped. Everyone looked at Shawn in a stunned look. Topanga looked like she was going to start to cry. Cory got off the couch and ran over to Topanga and kept her from running out. He held her in another comforting hug as he gave Shawn a look of anger. He kissed her cheek and then walked over toward Shawn. He just looked Shawn in the eyes.
"Why the hell did you say that to her? It's bad enough she's. I mean we're in this situation, but now you have to take it out on her. It's not all her fault. It both of our faults. And if your not going to support us and help us like true friends, then we'll leave. Come on Topanga." He took Topanga's hand and started to walk out when Angela stopped them.
"Listen you guys, I don't know what your going through, but I know it can't be easy. And even though I really don't support it, I'm gonna try and help you guys through this."
Topanga smiled a smile of hope. She knew at least her best friend and her boyfriend, and father of her baby were by her side. But what about the rest of them.
"I'll try and help you guys too," Eric said.
"Me too," Jack said.
"What about you Shawn?" Angela asked.
HAHAHA! I'm so evil! What will Shawn do? Will he accept it or won't he? Stay tuned to **Consequences** to find out! Please R&R! NO FLAMES! Bye for now!
