Nervous glances, lurking shadows.

"Look dad before you go off on one I want you to know this wasn't planned!" Andy leant both his hands on the kitchen unit.

"You told me that you would be a grown up about this situation Ephram!"

Ephram shook his head "I am being a grown up, we made a mistake but it's a mistake we don't regret! Tell me honestly dad, tell me you haven't made a mistake?"

Andy came to an upright position, "I have made mistakes Ephram but none of them compare to this one. You promised me you would be sensible in this relationship. Your seventeen for Christ sake!"

"Oh come on I am practically an adult. Madison and I know what were doing and we are ready for this challenge."

Andy stroked his chin. "How long have you known this girl, are you sure that she is going to want you in a few years time? How do you know this is just another heartbreak for you Ephram?"

Ephram leant against the wall "Mom would have never said this, she would have supported me!"

"Don't you dare bring your mother in to this!"

"I wasn't, I was just saying she would of talked to me rather then shouting at me. But we haven't got past that ever have we dad!"

Dr Brown's face loosened and the creases in his forehead were now gone. "Ephram, can't you see I trusted you! The minute my back was turned you jump in to bed with this woman and now she is pregnant."

Ephram came forwards and leant on the unit "Dad, Madison and I love eachother, whether you like it or not she is pregnant. You're just going to have to deal with that fact."

Andy shrugged "Doesn't look like I have much of a choice does it? But don't think for a second I am happy with this situation, I trusted you and you broke that trust." Ephram nodded and without a word, walked out the room. Leaving a disappointed Dr Brown. Sighing he grabbed his coat, glanced at Madison and Ephram as they caught him grabbing his coat. Opening the door he headed for Nina's

Dr Brown paced up and down Nina's kitchen. "Where did I go wrong? I let them have the relationship, I let Ephram sleep over and still they do this to me."

"Andy will you please sit down, your making me dizzy!" Andy made his apologies and sat down. "Look you must of known that they would be having sex."

Andy made circles with his finger on the table. "Of course I did, I just thought they had more sense then to be unprotected."

Nina sighed "Unfortunately for us Andy we have to let our children go we have to let them make their own mistakes and just be there for them when it falls apart." Dr Brown leant back in his chair "I think that's what I am afraid off. When Julia was around she sorted out the mess, now she's not I have too. Only I'm not sure how."

"It will get better trust me. This is just a stepping stone you have to get over, once you've done that and everything's settled you'll be fine."

"Even with a baby in tow?"

Nina laughed, "Well I guess you will find out in nine months." Seeing Andy's unenthusiastic state she carried on, "Look Andy this baby will have its bad points but then again it has good points. Think about how happy Ephram will be. The joy on his face when the baby's born, when it says its first words and when it walks."

Andy shook his head "I know and I will be there to see that, but I am just worried Ephram will get hurt when it comes down to Madison."

Andy and Nina sat in silence as they pondered the thought. "Well we can't think of that, we just have to be there if things do go wrong." Standing up Nina went to start the dinner.

"Well as you know Delia can stay as long as she once until this is sorted. You are welcome to stay for dinner." Andy declined the offer.

"Thanks would it be okay if Delia slept the night? I think I need to talk to my son and his partner." Lifting up from the table he waited for a response.

"Course it is Andy, good luck." She replied as he said his thanks and headed for home.

Ephram and Madison were heading out the door when Andy came home. Sharing a look, Ephram tried to get past Andy. Andy placed his hand on Ephram's chest and stopped him.

"We need to talk." He stated adamantly.

Ephram shook his head and grabbed Madison's hand "We have nothing to say to eachother!"

Trying to get past Andy again, they failed as Andy stood in their way. "Well I do so get back into the house, please."

Reluctantly Ephram and Madison turned around and headed back inside the house. The three of them made their way towards the living room. Andy motioned his hand towards the sofa and offered for them to sit down an offer the young adults accepted.

"So I have been thinking about you two and the baby. I was shocked at first its not something I had been expecting for some time to come and I'm sorry for my reaction and the way I acted, although I cant say I am still 100% but I am working on that. I want you two to be happy. I am just disappointed." Ephram and Madison shared a look of happiness as Andy spoke.

"We appreciate that this cant be easy for you Doctor Brown and we are grateful that you have understood or are trying to understand."

Andy laughed, "Madison if your going to be part of the family then you really should start to call me Andy."

Ephram stood up from the couch and smiled at his dad. "So this hasn't been easy but we realise that this wont be easy and were ready. You know earlier, what I said about mom I think she would of taken your side and I was wrong to use her. Madison and I love eachother this is what we want."

Andy nodded "I know you do that's why I know I can trust my decision. Just don't let me down okay?"

Madison stood next to Ephram. "We wont Dr Brown, I mean Andy." Kissing him on the cheek she wondered out of the house towards the car, leaving Ephram and Andy together.

"Thanks Dad." Andy and Ephram shared a manly hug

"Son" Andy called to Ephram before he exited the house. "Have fun."

Ephram nodded and then left.

Ephram and Madison sat on the bench of the park eating some ice cream. The light of the lamps lit up their sitting area leaving a romantic light shining upon the couple.

"Want a lick?" Ephram asked as he lifted up his strawberry ice cream. Madison laughed as she took a lick and then offered her's. Ephram too took a lick and the two laughed. Madison was in a fit of hysterics when Ephram had finished.

"What?" Ephram questioned.

"You have a little something on your nose." She told him as she continued to giggle. Ephram brushed his nose with his hand and asked if it had all gone.

Madison shook her head "Nope there is just a little bit here," placing her finger upon the gap between his nose and mouth she smiled sincerely at him and then slowly slid her finger down to his lips "And here." She whispered before moving closer and kissing him tenderly on the lips.

"Now?" Ephram whispered back. Madison shook her head and then giggled lightly.

"All gone." She replied sweetly. Pausing for a few moments the couple then finished their food and lifted themselves up of the bench.

Holding hands they strolled back towards Ephram's car, which sat in the car park just outside the movies.

"Just think this time next year you and me will be parents, scary huh?" Madison asked.

"Just a bit, I get butterflies in my stomach everytime I think about it."

Madison pulled him closer and placed her arm around his waist. "I already have the visions, you and I with a beautiful daughter and-"

Ephram looked at her "And how do you know it's going to be a girl, I am holding out for a boy."

"A boy? Ephram I think I would know if I boy was growing inside of me. This bump is definitely feminine."

Ephram laughed, "We'll see about that."

Madison pushed him slightly as they turned towards the parking lot. "Oh I am so scared Ephram B-"Madison stopped in mid sentence as the car came in to view. "Oh my god is that your car?"

Ephram stood in shock at the site of his car, Windows had been smashed, the bonnet and side doors dented. "I don't believe this." He said looking at the flat tyres and bent mirrors.

Madison pulled on his shirt. "Um...honey I think you should have a look at this." She said pointing towards the foam writing on the windscreen. 'I'll be back' was written in large writing, covering the whole of the glass screen. Madison looked around nervously. "Someone obviously bares a grudge, who do you think did this." She said as her head went from side to side.

Ephram too glanced around, "I have no idea." He replied unconvincingly.

Madison got the phone out of her pocket ready to dial 911. Ephram stopped her "Whoa what are you doing?"

"Well calling the cops, we need to report this Ephram."

The young man shook his head instantly and refused. Madison looked at him concerned "Why don't you want to call them? This is serious Ephram." Seeing Ephram's face she realised that he knew who might of trashed his car.

"You know who did this, don't you?"

"I'm not sure no but my money is placed on Tommy being part of this."

"What makes you think that? I mean he would of gone after Amy if anything, why target you?" Madison enquired perplexed.

Ephram held his hands up in frustration and rubbed them through his hair. "I don't know maybe its because I helped Amy. Tommy must have been watching."

Madison moved closer to him. "We need to do something, we can't let him get away with this."

"Yeah I know, but not the cops. Bright, I'll call Bright."

"Bright? What the hell is he going to do?"

"Get you home safely and then I am going to call dad get him to help me out with this mess."

Madison shook her head. "Then theirs no need to call Bright, I can stay with you."

Ephram declined whilst getting his phone out. "Nope it isn't safe, sorry. It's late, your pregnant and if Tommy is still around he may come back. At least with dad there will be two of us if he does. I can't risk you getting hurt" Sulking and slightly worried, Madison watched as Ephram called Bright and then his dad.

Once Bright had taken a very reluctant Madison home, Andy took in the car and its 'new look.' Inspecting all the damages he shook his head and sighed. "We need to get a tow truck down here, it looks a mess. Whether its fixable is another matter.

"But surely its just a few dents and scratches, he wouldn't of messed with the engine would he?"

Dr Brown got up from the ground after inspecting the tyres. "I wouldn't put it past him. This writing his worrying me. I really think we should call the police Ephram."

Ephram disagree." Look dad I have my reasons. If we want to keep Amy, Madison and myself safe then we can't call the cops. Please I am begging you to keep it to ourselves and not get the cops involved." Andy unwillingly nodded.

Dr Brown was soon on the phone shortly after coming. Talking on the phone to the tow truck services Ephram watched as his dad explained the situation. Looking around the car park he suddenly noticed a figure in the distance watching him and his dad. "Hey dad." Ephram called. "Dad, look at this."

Dr Brown put his hand over the phone. "Ephram can't you see I'm on the phone. Yes I'm still here. How long will it take? A few hours? Can't you come any sooner were freezing up out here. Okay I understand, yep see you then." Finishing his phone call he walked over to Ephram. "What's the problem?"

Ephram squinted at the darkness. The person who was there was gone. "Nothing, it doesn't matter."

"The man said it would be a few hours, we night aswell sit in the car till he comes.

"Dad the windows are broken it wont be any warmer inside then it is out here."

Andy looked at the windows. "Okay well lets go get some coffee then."

The two men left the car and walked towards a small bistro. Looking back, Ephram worried. If it was Tommy who he had seen then neither he nor Madison was safe. Taking another glance back Ephram stepped in to the bistro.

Noticing Ephram's unstable state. Andy tried to reassure his son. "It will be okay Ephram."

Ephram smiled unconvincingly "I know."

Little did he know about the figure lurking in the shadows planning his next move.

Okay well that's the new update! Now you know what to do, push that purple button....
