Note: OK this is the only other chapter I have totally written out but I
have my plan of what I am doing for chapter 12. This is a longer chapter
then the other 2 I just wrote and I almost didn't stop where I did. I
decided to get as many chapters in as I can because if the weather improves
basketball practices will be starting next week and I wont have much time
to update. I will not quit the story though or leave it alone too long. I
am carrying this story out as long as I feel it can get somewhere and as
long as I have an audience so I hope you all enjoy and thanks again for all
of the reviews. This is my first story on this site and I am surprised at
how much some people are enjoying it. Here goes another chapter for the
readers.
Chapter 11
Craig POV: I walked home quickly after school and called Manny right away. I wondered what was wrong and it had been bugging me so much that I couldn't concentrate all afternoon. It could be nothing but then again it could be something serious, so I just feel like I have to know. "Hello" Manny answered. "Hey Manny, Where have you been?" "Well I wasn't feeling well, in fact I have an appointment at the hospital in 20 minutes. Maybe you should come." "Um, Sure, Where should I meet you?" "In the waiting room on the first floor" "OK Bye" Now I was a bit scared and confused. If she said I should come then it had to be something serious. Is she really just sick? I have to find out.
Manny POV: On the ride to the hospital I was nervous. I didn't know how I was going to explain this to Craig or what his reaction would be, but I had to tell him. My mother had told my father that it was just a check-up and thankfully he was not suspicious. My Mom had overheard my phone conversation with Craig and had figured it was my boyfriend that I had been talking to. She knew I went out a lot when we got back from the ski trip and had figured out there was a guy involved, but the one thing she didn't know was that it wasn't recently that we had sex. It had been over a month. She is not happy that I got into this situation, but she would be even more disappointed if she knew I wasn't even his girlfriend when we were together in his garage after Paige's party. "Manuella, Who is it you asked to meet you at the hospital?" I figured she knew but wanted it confirmed. "Craig, The guy I have been going out with for the last few weeks." "Only a few weeks?, you had sex with someone you knew for less then two weeks?" "No Mama, I have known him longer then that and well it was before that." Well so much for her not knowing about that. "Manuella that is even more disappointing, but I trust that you have learned from this and I want you to know that as my only daughter, I will love you no matter what the results are." "I promise that I learned from this and that whatever Papa says about it I will be willing to listen to."Just then we pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Craig POV: I watched as Manny walked in with who I assumed was her mother. "Hey Craig, I'm glad you came, this is my Mom." "Nice to meet you Mrs. Santos" "Nice to meet you too Craig" She seemed OK but I knew it was mostly Manny's dad that was strict anyways. "You wait out here when I am called in OK? I promise it won't take long." "OK" Just as I said that the Doctor called her in. I sat and wondered what was wrong. Manny did not seem sick at all. Not that I could tell anyways. After about a half hour Manny finally came out. "Hey Craig, sorry it took longer because they did a lot of extra stuff" (I don't know anything about time it takes for a doctor to check Pregnancy and stuff like STD's, I have never needed to be tested for either) "That's OK" "Mama, can Craig and I walk home?" Mrs. Santos nodded her head and looked like she understood why we needed to walk home and talk. "Craig lets go, I have to tell you something and you have to promise not to freak out" "OK, I promise" We walked in silence for a while after that, leaving me wondering what she had to tell me that might freak me out. Eventually we reached a park and sat down on a bench. Manny looked in to my eyes and flat out said "Craig, I'm pregnant" I sat still for a moment taking in what Manny had just told me. I knew if I kept silent she would take it the wrong way so I spoke ad comforting as I could. " Manny, you don't have to be scared, I love you and I promised not to leave you and I won't" She hugged me and started to cry after I said that. I let her stay like that for a few minutes before she calmed down and sat back up. "I love you too, it is just, I don't know how my father is going to take this and I am scared. He will probably make me live with someone else" "You can always ask Spike to stay with them, She has went through this before, the only difference is that you have me here for you as well. If you can't stay there I a sure you can find a living arrangement at Joey's" "Thank you Craig" "Your welcome" We got up and started to walk to her house. As we expected her father was outraged and she had to leave with only some cloths and a picture of her family on the ski trip. We went to Emma's house and Manny knocked on the door. She explained her situation and Spike understood right away. "Sure you can stay here as long as you need, but you will have to share a room with Emma" She agreed and packed away her stuff. Emma was not too thrilled but still accepted the situation. We walked towards my house after she finished unpacking because I still had yet to tell Joey.
Note:Hope you liked it. I will get chapter 12 done as soon as I can. That's 3 chapters today so I hope you all enjoy it and review it. Thank you all for reading it. Update will be ASAP. If I get another school day off I just might have 2 more chapters by tomorrow. You never know. I tried to handle this story as well as I could even though I have no experience with teen pregnancy. I had Manny tell Craig upfront because the less you think about something and the quicker you say it the easier it is on you because you get it out of your conscious.
