Spike was making Manny some tea while Manny sat down in a chair still looking at her pregnancy test. She couldn't believe it.
She was 14 and pregnant. Of coarse she was turning 15 in April but she was going to have to deal with this now. And then
there is Craig. She didn't know how she would tell him. Everyone at school would eventually find out and that included Craig.
She was most scared to tell her family. And what about Emma?
"Tea's ready," said Spike, bringing Manny over some tea.
"Thanks," said Manny, "You've been really great."
Manny started to cry. Spike hugged her and told her, "Everything's going to be okay."
"No it won't!" screamed Manny, "My parents will send me away!"
"They wouldn't do that. They love you," said Spike.
"You don't understand! My parents will kill me! Literally kill me!" screamed Manny.
"They wouldn't kill you. Maybe some yelling but your parents love you and this baby will love you." said Spike.
"I don't know," said Manny while shaking her head.
"Don't know about what?" asked Spike.
"If I want this baby," said Manny.
Spike looked shocked although Manny couldn't see her expression. She has no idea that Manny was thinking of abortion.
"Just think about what you want to do before you do anything you'll regret." Spike said with a stern voice.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!" said Manny.
"You didn't offend me," said Spike, "I was just surprised, okay?"
Manny wanted to know why she was surprised but she didn't ask. Jack started to cry.
"Hold on," said Spike.
She took Jack out of his high chair and held him in her arms. She started to rock him until he started to quiet down. Manny
watched in amazment. She realized that in about 5 months from now that could be her. Unless she decided to have the
abortion.
"I'm going to put Jack down for his nape," said Spike.
10 minutes later Spike came back. Just then the door opened. It was Emma.
"Mom!" she shouted.
"I'm in here," said Spike.
"Great," said Emma, "I had the best at school in a long..."
Emma stared coldly at Manny.
"What's she doing here?" asked Emma.
"I'll let you two talk," said Spike, while getting up to go to the living room.
Spike left the room and Emma eyed Manny.
"So what's going on?" asked Emma.
"Nothing," said Manny in a really mean voice.
"Fine! Sorry I asked!" shouted Emma.
Emma headed to the doorway of the kitchen.
"Emma wait!" Manny yelled.
Emma spun around, "What?"
"I have to tell you something!" said Manny.
"Well, start by telling me why your in my house!" Emma shouted.
"I'm pregnant, Emma!" Manny yelled.
Manny couldn't believe she'd shouted it out like that. Emma's eyes grew wide and so Manny countinued.
"I came here to get advice from your mom!" Manny yelled at her.
Emma coudn't believe what she was hearing. Her once sane best friend, Manny, was now pregnant!
"WHAT?" Emma shouted.
"I'm sorry to surprise you like this," said Manny.
Emma narrowed her eyes at Manny and said, "I can't believe this is happening and I don't ever want to ever talk to you again!"
"Fine by me!" yelled Manny.
She was 14 and pregnant. Of coarse she was turning 15 in April but she was going to have to deal with this now. And then
