When they entered they saw J.T.'s mom cooking in the kitchen, and his dad watching football in the living room. All that Manny could think about were two things 1.) that they were about to tell J.T.'s parents something that would change their lives forever that was a lie and 2.) even though this was such a serious situation she was thinking about how much they looked like a model family like the ones that you see on all the old sitcoms from the 50's.
Just then J.T. walked up to his mom, and kissed her on the cheek. So perfect thought Manny. Then when she saw Manny, and gave J.T. a questioning look.
"Oh yeah, Mom. This is a friend of mine, Manny."
"Hello, Manny dear. What a pleasure to meet you."
"How are you Mrs. Yorke?" asked Manny.
"I'm just fine, and you?"
"I'm fine."
"ummm...mom, we kinda have something we'd like to tell you and dad." announced J.T.
"Ok, shoot."
"Dad, can you come here? I need to talk to you."
"Sure.....who's she?" answered his dad.
"oh, that's Manny." said J.T.
"Hello Manny. Now what do you want?. Asked J.T.'s dad.
"Ummm...I don't really know how to tell you this, but...I got Manny pregnant. Now before you start yelling. We want to take care of this situation, and we are going to be responsible for our mistakes." spoke J.T. even though he could not believe that he had just said that.
Nobody said anything. There was total and complete utter silence. Finally Manny decided to try to break it.
"Mr. and Mrs. Yorke, I know that you never thought that this would happen, but I feel terrible about it. I want to make up for my stupidity. I want to be able to raise this child to the best of my abilities. Please don't turn your back on us now because I'm begging you. My parents already abandoned me. They sent me away, and told me never to come back. I know that you are wonderful people. Please don't turn your backs too."
There was a look of shock on Mrs. Yorke's face. She could not believe that her son had done this, but Manny's speech made her realize that J.T. was not a little boy anymore. He had done a very grown up thing, and was willing to make it right, and that Manny was right. What kind of a mother would she be if she turned her back on her son when he needed her the most? She knew that she had to support them even if it broke her heart to see her baby with a baby.
"Manny, I know that you are still paying for your mistake, and I will help you through this. You don't even have to worry about us turning our backs on you two. What kind of mother would I be if I turned you away now?" she said.
"Thank you so so so much. I won't ever make the mistake of doing this again, and that's a promise." exclaimed J.T.
"So I guess you're staying here with us since your parents kicked you out right?" asked Mrs. Yorke.
"If I possibly can"
"No problem...J.T. go fix up the guest room for Manny."
"Yes ma'am. Thank you mom."
"you're welcome"
With that they walked up the stairs to the guest room.
J.T. you are the best friend that I have ever had,. You are helping me so much. I mean you got me a place to live, and even lied to your parents for me. I can't think of a bigger sacrifice."
"For the hundredth time, it's not a big deal."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"ok..."
"There has been tons of stuff going on today, but it will get better. I promise, just calm down. ok?"
"I'll try."
"good"
Just then they heard the voice of Mrs. Yorke once again.
"J.T. there is a phone call for you down here. Make it quick."
That must be Spike...wish me luck?" asked Manny
"Good luck."
Wish that Manny picked up the phone.
"Hello"
Please review me!! I'll try to lead the story the best that I can to make you happy…Cynderz
