Chapter Four - There's bad news, Then there's really bad news.
Amy just had to face the fact that hiding this from her father was not going to be easy. The weeks were passing, and it was showing. She knew she was going to be bigger than this, not to mention getting sick almost EVERY day. She thought she'd wait though, until maybe. when he pointed it out. She thought maybe she should talk to Ephram about it, to find out when he thought the right time to tell her father would be. Of course, she'd know his answer, and mimicked him as she sat on her bed,
"You've got to tell him, he's going to find out! And he should know sooner rather than later!"
But what Amy didn't know is that her father was standing right outside her door, at that exact moment when she spoke. He couldn't make himself believe his daughters words. He knew what she spoke of, but he didn't want to admit that he was loosing his 'baby girl'. Just then he knocked on her door slightly and opened it,
"Amy. Are you alright?" he asked her, in his own little 'you better tell me what's going on now before I kill every boy you know' voice.
"Just fine" she replied as she glanced down at her stomach, then quickly back to her father.
"Amy. If there is anything. tell me now" his voice grew deeper, sterner.
"No, I don't have anything to tell you daddy, not just yet" she told him as she looked up into his eyes.
She knew what his reaction would be, yelling, screaming, more yelling, then probably some fainting. She couldn't risk it, well, the fainting part anyway. She knew she'd tell him when the time was right, and right now is wasn't the time.
"Amy, tell me what you did, tell me what happened with that psycho doctor's boy in Denver. Don't tell me nothing, cause all of a sudden you've forgotten about Colin and you've been dating this Ephram boy out-of-the- blue for weeks now! At dinner you haven't even mentioned Colin, and since he's in a coma, and you can't actually break up, this would count as cheating on him, now wouldn't it?"
"Dad! Please, you know if there was anything to tell. I would! Now, please leave me alone!"

The more days past, the more times Dr. Abbott would pester his daughter to get the 'information' he wanted to hear out of her. Soon he became annoyed and turned to his rival, Dr. Brown, for some answers.
"Dr. Brown, wait up" he stopped him one morning, acting all nice and "chummy",
"Ah, Harold, nice to see you!" Andy replied in his usual cheerful way,
"Yeah yeah yeah, you know the answers to the questions I've been asking, and I want them. NOW!" he confronted him,
Even though he had an idea of what Dr. Abbott was speaking of, he simply replied,
"I have no idea what you are talking about!"
"Oh don't play dumb with me! I watched my daughter walk out of your, your, your, thing there" he began as he pointed to the old train station Dr. Brown now worked in, "I saw her walk out of there a few weeks ago, and ever since then she's gotten bigger! I don't like bigger! I like my little girl!"
"I'm sorry Dr. Abbott, that's for Amy to tell you, not me. I think you already know all the answers you are searching for, but if you want to hear them from some one else, I suggest you try talking to your daughter" but before Dr. Abbott could reply, he added "Again"
~~~~~~
Amy didn't know how to handle everything, and everyone. She could feel them all staring at her as she walked toward her locker, but she tried to ignore them all, she wanted to stay as normal as possible. But what was normal?
Amy Abbott, the little miss goody-two-shoes, "cheating", as her father put it, on Colin, and finally listening to her heart and not those around her. No one knew how to react just yet, except for him, except for Ephram.
He stood there at her locker, his smile wide when he caught a glimpse of her, his eyes sparkling when she got even closer. He didn't act like she was any different, because to him she hadn't changed a bit, and he hugged her as tight as possible when she reached him.
"Hey, how are you?" she asked him plainly,
"Same old. My dad told me you haven't told your father yet, and that your dad's been bugging my dad about it"
"Yeah. I know. but I also know that he knows it already, and I'm sure he just wanted to hear it come straight from me, but that isn't going to happen!"
"Amy, you've got to. he is your father. I think he needs to hear it from you. personally"
"I guess your right, but I'm too afraid to. He'll probably get Bright to kill you. you know that right?"
"It's a chance I'm willing to take"
Amy just smiled and kissed him on the cheek before heading off to her first class.
~~~~~
After school that day Amy headed straight home. She had finally gotten enough courage to tell her father, as Ephram said, personally.
As she entered her house she realized something was terribly wrong. It was suspiciously quiet, and it made her quite upset.
"Anyone home?" she called out, questionably
"In here" she heard her father's voice, sounding deep and sorrowful
She followed his voice toward the kitchen, where she saw Mr. & Mrs. Hart sitting at the table, Mrs. Abbott with Colin's mother's head on her shoulder. They looked as if they had all been crying forever.
"What's going on? What's wrong?" She asked them all, her eyes filling up with tears from seeing these people she cared about so sad.
As Bright walked into the kitchen Mr. Abbott calmly walked over to them. He looked at them for merely a moment before saying,
"I've got something to tell you"
