Thanks to all my reviewers, I really appreciate it!
Flashback: Ephram deserved to know the truth, no matter what Andy thought. "His name is Ephram, just like his fathers." Madison stared into Ephram's eyes and when she saw how shocked he was, she bowed head in shame and began to cry.
Chapter 2:
For the first time in his life, Ephram was left speechless. Thoughts came rushing through his head, why didn't Madison tell him that she was pregnant? Did she not want him to see his child? Is this why she had been avoiding me?
Seeing how emotional Madison was getting, Ephram knew he had to ask something. Ephram sat down next to her, gave her a hug and asked, "Madison, how could you keep this from me. Would you have never told me about my child if I hadn't run into you?"
"Ephram, I honestly don't know, I just don't know. You see, I found out I was pregnant about 2 months after we broke up, I was so confused and scared, so I went to your dad and"
"What," Ephram cut her off, totally surprised, "my dad knows about this, about you? Why didn't he tell me?"
Madison could see that Ephram was getting worked up, "I talked to your Dad and he convinced me that it was best to keep this from you. He said that you weren't ready to be a father and begged me not tell you. I wanted to tell you, I mean you deserved to know, I was stupid to listen to your Dad."
Ephram could see that Madison was going to cry again, "Madison, relax! I'm not blaming you, you just got to understand how shocked I am right now. I mean finding out that at age 17 you're a father with a girlfriend you haven't seen in over a year, its pretty big news."
"I know, I know," said Madison, who was very happy that Ephram wasn't mad at her.
"Ok Mads," Ephram said, looking at his watch, "I have to go take Amy home and then go talk to my dad. Can I call you later? We still really need to talk."
Madison was so ecstatic that Ephram was ok with being a father that she had totally forgot about Amy. Her visions of a perfect family went down the drain as she remembered Ephram and Amy, looking so happy after last year's prom. "You know what Ephram? I'm just going to go now and get on with my life, since you have. I'll see you later." Madison picked up baby Ephram, ran out of the dinner to her car, and drove home.
Just as Ephram left the dinner to run after Madison, he ran into Amy
"Hey your," Amy said to him ," Sorry it took so long, my Dad was yakking on about family plans for Bright's birthday. Anyway, I'm starved, lets go inside and," Amy stopped talking as she saw the look on Ephram's face, and she immediately knew something was wrong. "Ephram, what wrong"
"Look Amy, I have to go, its really important. I'll drive you home and then call you tomorrow ok?" asked Ephram.
Amy could see that Ephram was off in a distant place and so she kissed him goodbye and said, "Its ok, you go home and I'll stay, eat a quick dinner and have Bright pick me up later. But remember to call me tomorrow, ok"
Ephram gave her a quick nod, got into his car, and drove home, never looking back. Ephram knew that Amy was hurt, but he was too busy to think about it. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as he speed towards his home.
"Why would my Dad keep something like this from me," Ephram muttered to himself. Even though Ephram hadn't planned on or wanted to be a father this young, his father knew that he would want to know. Ephram's thoughts came to a halt as he turned onto Dearborn Street and into his driveway. His anger had built up and he couldn't take it, he was ready to explode. Ephram got out of his car, opened the house door, and stepped inside and was immediately greeted by a very happy Andy.
"Hey Ephram, how was you date? Delia and I rented tons of movies and,"
Ephram cut off his father, "Dad, why the hell didn't you tell me about Madison."
