Regretful decisions, or are they?

Ephram stood in shock as he processed what Madison had just told him. "Pregnant? But how? We were careful?" Madison shook her head, disagreeing "Remember our impulsive need the other night, where no precautions were taken?" Ephram suddenly remembered that day and hit is head with his hand "I thought we used a condom, how irresponsible. My dad is going to freak when he finds out!" Madison sat him on the couch "Look, lets keep it to ourselves for now, give us time to get use to it. I mean after all were going to be parents!" Ephram looked at her "Parents, its such a word of responsibility." Madison leaned back; concerned at Ephram's reaction "You do want this baby don't you?" Ephram shrugged. Madison let out a disgusted breath "I guess that's my answer. Well thanks Ephram, its okay you know, you can use me for sex all you want, like I care," She said as she stormed out of the living room. "Madison!" Ephram called but it was too late, Madison was out the door and driving off.

Madison pulled up the car, outside a bar. Staring at the blaring lights and hearing the beat of the music she locked up her car and headed inside. "Can I grab a gin and tonic please. Make that a large one" Madison asked the bartender. "Someone had some bad news?" he said, trying to make conversation. Giving the bartender the money, Madison replied with "You could say that." Taking a sip of her drink, she was interrupted by her phone calling; picking it out of her pocket she saw the name Ephram flashing on the screen. Instead of answering she diverted the call and carried on taking a sip.

Ephram paced back and fourth as he spoke into the phone "Madison its me look I have been thinking, I was wrong earlier. I want you and the baby. Hell I need you and the baby. Please ring me when you get this I'm worried." Ending the phone call, Ephram sat on the sofa and bit his nails, worried for the safety of his girlfriend and their baby. Hearing a car pull up, Ephram sprang up and rushed to the window, seeing his dad and his little sister come up the drive, he panicked. "Play it cool Ephram, play it cool," he whispered to himself. Going towards the reception area he watched as the brass knob turned and the door opened. "Hey Ephram, look what I made at Sam's" Delia said excitedly holding up a 'Keep out' sign for the door. It was decorated in different colours and was sparkly, Ephram smiled at it and then realised "Delia no one ever goes in your room?" Delia shrugged "So it's cool, all my friends have one." She said running towards her room. Ephram shook his head in disbelief. Andy laughed, "That's my girl," he said walking towards the kitchen. "Where's Madison?" Ephram realised he had to think on his feet "Err, um well you know that friend. Well she, she err was taken to hospital." Knowing that was the worst thing to say he soon kicked himself for it. "Oh anything serious?" Dr Brown enquired. "I wouldn't know. Madison left a note. You know how out of the blue these things are." "Looks like its pizza for us then, unless you want me to cook?" Ephram pointed towards the phone, "I'm not hungry myself, but I can get you two pizza. I would rather you didn't fall ill with food poisoning." Dr Brown walked up to his son and felt his forehead "Are you sick?" Ephram pulled away "No dad, just had a big lunch."

Madison sat at the bar, on to her second drink. Looking around she watched as two men peered at her in the corner of the room. Sensing the men's stares she turned away and ordered another drink.

Ephram sat nervously in his room, watching his cellphone as it sat on his desk. Picking it up he called Madison for what seemed to be the millionth time; deciding not to leave another message, he put the phone down. Trying to distract himself he grabbed his Walkman and listened to the music blaring out his headphones.

By her fifth drink, Madison was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol, realising that she could be in trouble she searched for her phone. Now she was drunk, she was willing to talk to Ephram. Getting the phone out her bag she held it up to her face and shouted Ephram at the screen. "Ephram, hey I need to talk!" Shaking the phone she got aggravated by the no response "Is this thing on?" The barman, noting her distress, asked if he could help in anyway. "Ephram, I need Ephram." Madison sobbed. The barman looked for the name Ephram and called him. "I'm not getting a response lady." Madison carried on sobbing. "I want him, I need him."

Ephram finished listening to the CD tracks and took of his headphones, walking towards his phone he decided to try once more but was pleased to find he had missed a call, seeing it was Madison he tried to phone her again. "Hey? Where's Madison?" Ephram asked, alarmed by the mans voice answering the phone. "I am guessing this is your chick sobbing and very drunk infront of me? Look I am just the barman I think you need to pick up your honey." Said the barman on the receiving end "Were at Swisslife bar, know where that is?" Ephram remembered the place well, Madison had taken him their for a drink only his age let him down once again. "Yeah I do, thanks." He finished on the phone, made his excuses to his dad and left.

Ephram burst through the doors of the bar and soon came face to face with Madison, "Ephram?" she sobbed, holding on to his jacket she sobbed in to him. The barman watched as the young woman carried on to sob. Ephram nodded at the barman and thanked him for calling him, usually barmen don't care but maybe this was one of the few who had a heart. Putting Madison's arm around his neck, he lifted her up of the chair and practically carried her to his car. Opening the passenger door he placed Madison on the chair and closed the door again. Getting in to the drivers seat he watched as Madison passed out on the chair, how could she of been so stupid? He thought as he watched. Shaking his head, he started the car and drove back to Madison's flat.

Once Ephram had put Madison in bed, he sat and watched her sleeping soundly. Thinking about the baby he wondered if it would be okay with the drink, only time would tell he thought. Ephram tried telling himself that he wouldn't be mad at Madison, but he had to be, she could of jeopardised her life and the babies, this wasn't something he could take lightly. Sighing, he picked himself up of the bed and rang his dad, explaining that he was staying the night at Bright's. After that he made himself a drink of coffee and lay on the sofa, thinking about the fight ahead.

When Madison came to an immediate headache could be felt, feeling worse then she had before she slowly lifted herself up and checked her surroundings. Noticing she was fully clothed she wondered how she got home. Lifting herself of the bed, she swayed as she tried to take up her surroundings. Holding her head and groaning in pain she continued towards the kitchen to get some paracetemol. Opening the cupboard she struggled to find the tablets. "Looking for these?" Ephram asked as he got up from the sofa waving around a bottle of tablets. "Ephram!" Madison exclaimed, "You scared me, what are you doing here?" "Do you remember any of last night? The storming out? The drinking? The sobbing? I had a barman ring me up and ask for you to be picked up!" Madison was speechless. Ephram looked on angry. "What? Cat got your tongue?" "Ephram I have a headache, don't you have school or something?" Ephram shook his head in disbelief, "That's right, sweep it under the rug, because obviously that's going to achieve lots. Do you have any idea what I went through last night?" Madison shrugged "No, but I have a feeling your going to tell me." Ephram placed the bottle of tablets on the table "You could of harmed the baby, you could of harmed yourself, I didn't know where you were last night, you could be dead right now if I hadn't of come." "Don't you think you're over reacting and anyway I didn't think you wanted this baby?" Madison went for the tablets on the table but Ephram was quick and pulled them away. "I do want this baby, I was shocked earlier and you overreacted! I love you! And I will love this baby. But if you ever do anything like this again don't think I will be this forgiving." Madison shook her head "What and that's it? I am the bad one in all of this, I was in shock you didn't want the baby. I couldn't handle that. So what I went out got drunk, nothing happened I'm fine! Just be grateful! Now give me the god damn tablets!" Ephram shrugged "Whatever, I am going to school, you are late for work by the way, I covered for you last night. Your friend made a reappearance, quite the actress it seems." Madison tried to stop him but was too slow, immediately regretting the conversation she grumbled and went to take some tablets.

Amy watched as Ephram slammed his locker with frustration. "Hey, what did the locker ever do to you?" she asked trying to joke, Ephram just sighed and turned to lean his back on to it. "Are you alright? What's up?" she asked concerned. "Everything, can you keep a secret?" Amy nodded. "Madison's pregnant." Ephram watched as Amy's jaw dropped. "Are you serious?" Ephram didn't need to answer. "How long have you known?" "We only found out yesterday, I panicked, she ran out. Then she got drunk, I worried then worried some more. By ten o'clock last night I had, had a call saying she was drunk in a pub so I had to go get her." "Is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Ephram laughed "Oh yeah she is fine, just hungover. We had an argument this morning she doesn't seem to understand that she could of done serious damage to the baby." Amy sighed and leaned next to the locker with him, "I bet she was just shocked and knowing that you may not of wanted the child made it worse. But she's okay right?" Ephram agreed and then nodded is head, "Well then, when school ends, go and see her. Apologise to her, she needs you more then ever now." "Thanks, you always were good at this stuff." Amy laughed. "Come on, I don't know about you but my stomach is in need of lunch." Laughing they walked in the direction of the cafeteria.

Rushing in to the house, Ephram called for Madison. Madison came in to the reception area. "If this is to have another argument, then don't bother!" "No, the opposite actually. I was speaking with Amy and she talked some sense in to me," Madison tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and placed her hands on her hips. "You spoke with Amy? Why, why would you do that?" Ephram rolled his eyes "I thought it might help, that's all! Is everything I do wrong with you?" "No, only when you reject our baby and then speak to someone else about our problems." Ephram walked past her and went in to the kitchen. Madison was quick to follow. "That's it bury yourself in to the fridge." "Oh come on Madison, give me a break. Yes I spoke to Amy but only because she could see how upset I was over this whole situation." Madison threw her hands up "Sorry I'm such a burden." Ephram poured himself a glass of orange juice. "Whatever look when you're ready to forgive me, I will be in my room."

Madison sat in the kitchen all alone thinking about her fight with Ephram. Twice in one day, must be a record she thought. Grabbing her cup of coffee and finishing it off she walked towards Ephram's room. Knocking gently she waited for a reply. "Ephram please I just want to talk." Madison pleaded. Ephram picked himself up of the bed an opened the door. "Are you sure, I thought you might be worried that I will tell Amy." "Oh my god you are so stubborn, I came to admit my mistakes if you must know!" "I'm stubborn? Look okay talk!" Madison came and sat on Ephram's bed "Okay" she mumbled as she did so. "So I have been stupid, made some rubbish mistakes, regretted them and fallen out with you. I tell you its not easy being pregnant." Ephram shut the door and turned to face her, "Madison I get that, that's why I needed the advice. I didn't know what to do how to help you. But I know now." Madison felt herself well up, letting a tear roll down her cheek she started to sob. "Ephram, what are we going to do?" she sobbed. Seeing her distress, Ephram hurried up to her and put his arm around her shoulders. "Were going to get through this, that's what!" "But your, your dad. How disappointed is he going to be?" Ephram sighed and placed his hand underneath her chin, lifting it up gently. "You and I can do this with or without my dad, if he can't except that, then that's his problem." Madison smiled, Ephram wiped away a tear and the two sat in silence as they contemplated the task that lied ahead.

As they held hands they faced Dr Brown, he sat in an upright position reading the newspaper. "Dad?" Ephram asked. Dr Brown looked around. "Hey, just coming to get you, tea is almost done. Can you go and get Delia?" "Um well actually we, Madison and I really need to talk to you." Dr Brown put the paper down, "Okay I'm listening." Madison and Ephram came around to face him, "Well what we have to say your not going to like. We received some news yesterday." Dr Brown stopped him "Don't bother, I know what your going to say." The two looked at eachother. "You're moving out? Look I get that but I don't think it's a good idea. I know your old enough but you see eachother enough now and-" "Um Dad?" "Plus you might get sick of eachother, I mean its just the-" "Dad, Madison is pregnant!" Ephram was amazed at how quick it had come out of his mouth. Stunned Andy tried to take in his son's confession. "Pregnant?" Madison thought about talking but decided to keep quiet. Andy shook his head "Right, Madison stay here, Ephram, you and I in the kitchen now!" Pointing at Ephram and then to the kitchen. The two men walked towards the room, leaving Madison regretting their situation.

Push that button and make my day! Please? :)
