Ellie was both excited and nervous. She was nervous because this was the day she was going to tell her parents about her baby and her jerk of an ex-boyfriend. She was excited because she hadn't seen her dad for a few months. A/N: I am going to call her parents, Joe and Becky.

"Mom, Dad. I have to talk to you about something important" She started as they sat down for breakfast.

"What is it?" her mom, Becky asked.

"I am pregnant" She said looking down, trying not to cry.

"This is my fault" Becky said.

"It's not your fault, I'm a slut" Ellie said quietly.

"Never call yourself that again!" her father, Joe exclaimed.

"Ellie sweetie, this is probably the best time to tell you that I am going into rehab for my alcohol problems, but we'll talk about that later" Becky announced trying to cheer her daughter up.

"Did you at least use protection?" Joe asked praying the answer would be Yes.

"Oh, of course. I'm not that stupid" Ellie replied lying through her teeth.

"Do you know who the father is?" Becky asked.

"Sean, my ex-boyfriend" Ellie said.

"Why is he your ex-boyfriend?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your mother means why did you break up?"

"It was all a big misunderstanding. I would rather not talk about it." she answered.

"Does he know you are pregnant?" Joe asked.

"Yeah".

"Does he support you?" Becky asked.

"Um, I don't think so" she said unsure.

"How can you not think so? He either does or he doesn't" her mom said.

"I'm going somewhere with my friends later. Afterwards, I'll stop by his house and talk to him."

"Bring him back to the house afterwards" Joe said.

"Sure"

It is now about 1:00. Ellie is with Ashley, Paige, and Hazel at The Dot. After they ordered their food, they started talking. Ellie and Ashley both got cheeseburgers and a coke. Paige got a grilled cheese sandwich and a water and Hazel got a hamburger and a sprite.

"So, How did it go telling your parents?" Hazel asked Paige.

"They took it pretty well. We are going to keep the baby and I am going to get a job until the baby is born. Spin already has a job so he's going to save his money. My parents are going to pay for the medical bills. Spinner's mom offered to watch the baby because she and his dad couldn't pay for much. There is a daycare at Spinner's dad's work so the baby will stay there. Hopefully Spinner's dad will be able to get the baby in for free because he is the manager and owner. Spinner and I will of course pay for as much as we can for the baby. Did you tell your parent's Ellie?"

"Yeah, they took it well. They want me to make amends with Sean and bring him over tonight though. I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the baby"

"Did you tell them Sean slapped you and called you a slut?" Ashley asked.

"No. I didn't want them to make a big deal about it" Ellie explained.

"You didn't want them to make a big deal about it!! That is a very big deal!" Ashley exclaimed.

Ellie just rolled her eyes, trying to ignore what Ash had said. "Can we talk about something else?" she asked.

Suddenly a guy they didn't know or recognize walked up to their table. He was wearing an old looking shirt with the name of an old band called "The Pranksta's" on it. He had jeans on that also looked old. His hair was the same length as Craig's and it was also curly. His hair was two shades lighter though and he was also a few inches shorter. He looked like he was about their age, 16. What made him different from any of the other guys the four friends knew was that he was holding a sleeping baby boy.

A/N: Sorry to end the chapter right there but that chapter could go on forever and i felt like ending it. Besides it's almost a cliffhanger because the mystery guy is a very important part of Ellie's life. (sorry it took so long to update....i havent been able to go on the computer much this week because of jewish services and homework and finishing this chapter.)
