Sorry for the delay, I was trying to get a little more ahead before I posted this chapter. It's not really how I wanted it to be, but I think it's ok. Sorry it's so short. I hope you all like it!
"Well...actually...Madison-well when Madison was Delia's babysitter...well-that wasn't exactly all she was...see...uh...she and I...well we...both of us...we were together."
Andy choked on his drink but nobody noticed.
Jacob turned red with anger, "Together?! Wait a minute! She has to be at least 5 years older than you!"
"4 actually" Ephram corrected.
"And you let this happen?!" Jacob turned to Andy who just nodded as he downed the rest of his drink.
"Wait-j-just let me finish...please?" Ephram pleaded.
Jacob took a deep breath, "Next you're gonna tell us that that's your baby" Jacob said sarcastically.
Ephram and Madison looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
Jacob noticed their looks, "Oh my god...I can't believe this!" Jacob started pacing while mumbling in Yiddish. "What the hell were you thinking boy?!?! You ruined your life! You just threw away your future! How could you let this happen?!?" he turned to Andy, "If Julia were still alive, this never would have happened! If you let Ephram come and stay with us-this never would have happened! What the hell kind of a father do you think you are?!?!"
Andy just sat there, "Jacob...there was nothing I could do...these kids were gonna have sex either way-I couldn't stop them!"
Nonny stood up, "Delia...sweetheart...why don't we go into the other room. Delia handed the baby back to Madison and smiled at her.
Nonny gave both Ephram and Madison a look that gave them chills.
Ephram looked back to Jacob, "You can't blame anyone in this situation! I-it happened, it was our choice and we're living with it! Now if you're too embarrassed to be seen with me-just go back to New York...but this is me now, this is my life!"
Jacob walked up to Ephram, "Ephram-you are too young to make these choices...you are too young for this responsibility! You are too young to control your life! Now go to your room...a-and you-" he turned towards Madison, "Taking advantage of such an innocent boy-you should be ashamed of yourself-"
"Ok stop right there!" Ephram demanded, "Madison did not take advantage of me! It was a mutual decision- we-we love each other!" he noticed what he just said and so did the rest of the room, "loved each other" he tried to cover it up, "It happened! Don't blame this on her!"
Julia started to cry and Madison's attention quickly went from Ephram's statement to her daughter.
Ephram and Jacob were still yelling when Madison tapped Ephram on the shoulder, "I'm gonna take her out to the car ok?"
Ephram nodded, "I'll go with you" They started to walk towards the door.
Jacob followed, "Ephram-you're not going anywhere! You stay in this house!"
Ephram didn't even turn back.
