Manny sat on her couch as she listened to her father's ranting and raving. She looked down at the cousch as he screamed.

"How could you do something this stupid?" he yelled, "Manuella I thought you had some sense in you!"

"Daddy, I said I was sorry," said Manny.

"Sorry won't do anything," said her father.

"Look, maybe if we all calm down..." said Manny's mother.

"How can we calm down when our daughter is pregnant at 14!" yelled her dad.

"I know the situation looks bad but..." Manny's mother started to say.

"But nothing!" yelled her father, "Manuella go upstairs to your room and stay there until further notice!"

"Daddy, you're not being fair!" shouted Manny.

"I think I'm being calmer then I should be!" screamed Mr. Santos.

"Mom!" screamed Manny, "Say something!"

Mrs. Santos just sat on the couch with tears in her eyes, "I can't back you up on this, Manuella."

Manny cried hard and looked around. She couldn't take it anymore. Her father was being so evil and her mother didn't seem to

care at all about the way he was acting. She ran upstairs to her room.

About 5 minutes after crying in her room Manny's mother knocked on the door.

"Manuella," she said, "Would you please open the door."

Manny got up and walked to the door. She let her mother in. They both sat on the bed.

"Manny," she said, "I honestly don't know what to say."

"I don't know what to say either," said Manny.

"Okay," her mother said, "Let's start with this...when did you start having sex?"

"In October," said Manny, "At Paige's birthday party."

"Okay and how come you didn't even think about using protection?" asked Manny's mom.

"You don't get it!" yelled Manny, "When it comes that time when you're about to do it thousands of things are going through

your head but those things aren't 'Am I using protection' I was so nervous I didn't even think about it!"

"But," her mother said, "Your father and I raised you so well and now this..."

"I know," said Manny, "You and Dad think I ruined the family's reputation."

"Look, you know your father and I love you but this well, this is very big," her mother said.

"I know Mommy," said Manny, "I hate this! I don't want to be pregnant! I don't want this baby!"

"I know you don't, Manny, I know you don't," said her mom.

"So what am I going to do?" asked Manny.

"Whatever you think is right for you I guess," said her mother.

"Daddy hates me," said Manny.

"Your father loves you," said Mrs. Santos.

"Not anymore," said Manny, "And how come you are being so cool with this?"

"Because I'm your mother and I love you no matter what and nothing's ever going to change that," said Manny's mom.

"I just...I just..." Manny started to say.

"I know sweet heart this is very big and I wish that we could undue the past but unfortionetly we can't." said Mrs. Santos

"Mommy," said Manny, "I'm so scared!"

"I know you are baby," said her mother as the two hugged, "I know you are."

They finished hugging and Manny spoke to her mom, "I need to go to Emma's to speak with her mom."

"May I come too?" asked her mother.

"I guess so," said Manny, "But some stuff I need to speak to her about alone."

"Okay," said her mom, "Let's go."

They walked out the front door and saw Emma heading up the stairs.

"Emma?" asked Manny, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how things were going," said Emma.

"Well," said Manny, "There not to great."

Emma then asked, "Where are you going?"

"I was heading to your house," said Manny, "With my mom."

Emma gave Mrs. Santos a quick smile and then spoke to Manny, "So is she..."

"Yeah," said Manny, "She's cool with it."

"That's a relief," said Emma, "Okay so let's go to my house."

They walked to Emma's house without talking. They walked though the front door.

"Hey Manny," said Spike when she saw them all walk in, "How is everything?"

"Not so good," said Manny.

"Do you want to talk?" asked Spike.

"Yeah I do but alone," said Manny.

"I'll wait right here," said Mrs. Santos.

Spike led Manny into the kitchen. They sat down.

"So what's new?" asked Spike.

"How did you feel after Emma was born?" asked Manny, "Like how did you handle it?"

"Well," said Spike, " I had a lot of support from family and friends, but, I always felt like I had a million things to juggle with. I

felt like the the world was always crashing down on me and giving me new obsticles to deal with every single day."

"Oh," said Manny, "That sounds like a lot."

"I mean it wasn't all bad," said Spike, "Emma was an adorable baby and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world."

"Yeah," said Manny, "But, like, wasn't it hard? Like still hanging out with your friends, shopping, traveling?"

"I gave that all up for Emma," said Spike, "I didn't do much as a teen after she was born."

"Did you ever get any other dates?" asked Manny, "Did you ever get another boyfriend after Emma was born?"

"I still dated a little but nothing to serious," said Spike.

Manny looked off in a distance. The exspression on her face was not a happy one.

"These aren't the answers you were wishing to hear, aren't they?" asked Spike.

"Not exactly," said Manny.

"Any other questions?" asked Spike.

"Yeah," said Manny, "Why did you decide to have Emma?"

"I saw it like this, if I was old enough to have sex I was old enough to keep the baby," said Spike, "After all it's not Emma's

fault that her father and I had unprotected sex."

"Would you totally hate me if I didn't want this baby?" asked Manny.

"Of course not," said Spike, "Not everyone can be like me and keep the baby."

"It's just I feel like it would be selfish for me not to keep it," Manny said, "I mean Craig wants to help out, my mom is being

supportive, you and Emma are helping me out."

"But it's you're body, Manny," said Spike, "Don't base your decision on what others want."

"I want an abortion," said Manny, "But to others it seems so wrong."

"What's right for you may be wrong for someone else but what's wrong for you may be right for someone else," said Spike

"Okay," said Manny, "Then I think I know what's right for me."
