JT and Ashley argued for a week straight about whose parents would be the first to know. They had several disagreements that their parents be in the same room but JT didn't really like that idea.
"Let's just let Toby open his big mouth and blab to your parents," JT suggested.
But Toby was getting over the idea about his best friend and stepsister having a kid together. He had even been trying to drop hints to Jeff and Kate since he found out (example, going to baby name websites and leaving Parenting magazines in Ashley's stuff).
"I think we should just tell your parents," JT said, wanting to stop the arguing.
"Why?" she asked.
He shrugged. "They would understand better than mine."
Ashley thought about it and nodded. "Come over for dinner tonight," she said.
It was a Friday night, JT discovered, he had been so wrapped up in thinking about the baby that he had forgotten the day of the week.
JT walked up to the Kerwin-Isaac residence and rang the doorbell. Ashley let him in, she was dressed up and they had both realized that she was really starting to show. "It has to be tonight," she said, whispering to him.
JT nodded and walked into the kitchen, smiling at Kate.
JT helped Toby do the dishes. "Ashley, are you putting on weight?" Toby asked.
Ashley glared at him.
"Toby that's rude," Kate scolded him like a five-year-old. She studied her daughter. "Actually Ashley, you could lose a little weight."
"I will in several months," she said.
Kate looked worriedly at her. "What's that mean?" she asked.
"Mom, I'm pregnant," Ashley said.
JT and Toby looked over their shoulders to see Kate's jaw drop and Jeff try to hide the fact that he was choking on his soda. "What?" Kate asked.
"JT and I are having a baby," Ashley said.
Kate and Jeff looked over at JT that made him want to blend in with the wall. "Together?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah," Ashley said.
Kate fell back into her chair and Jeff reached for her. "I'm sorry," Ashley said, dropping her voice low.
"When did this happen?" Kate asked.
Toby pulled the plug in the sink and dried his hands off and stood next to his father, while Ashley and JT spilled.
"You got drunk?" Jeff asked.
They nodded.
"So drunk that they can't remember," Toby said.
"Stay out of it Toby," Ashley snapped.
There was silence for a few moments and then Kate sighed. "I guess I'm going to have to get use to being called 'Grandma' aren't I?"
Ashley shrugged and smiled at her mother. Kate forced a smile. They sat around in the kitchen discussing the future for the baby (names, shower, finance, etc.) until JT left later that night.
