Chapter three- Richard and Eva
Rachel took a huge deep breath as she and Jimmy walked down the street toward her house the next night. Under much persuasion, Eva had agreed to stop and eat dinner at Richard's house for an anouncement that she and Jimmy had.
"It's all right, Rach. They'll forgive us."
"Mom might... within a few years... Dad will... In a million..."
"They'll understand."
"What about Booker and Vivian?"
"Good point..." He sweatdropped.
"Will they be mad?"
"I don't... think so... after a couple days..." He scratched his head, but shook it off. "In any case, what's the worst they'll do? They could shun you, but I doubt it."
The rest of the walk was filled with a deep silence. Both were in extremely deep thought.
Jimmy and Rachel walked in the door of Richard's house to see Richard and Eva sitting tensely at the table. The two sat down across from them and a deafening silence fell.
"So?" Richard asked. "Rachel, Kudo, what is it?"
The two teenagers eyed each other nervously. Richard deeply sighed and got a bottle of liquor.
"Rachel?" Eva looked suspicious. "What's wrong?"
"Well, um..." Rachel trailed off.
"She's trying to say that--"
"Kudo, let Rachel finish her sentence!" Richard yelled.
Eva looked at Richard disgustedly and stood up. She walked over to the teens and pulled them both outside with her.
Richard tried to follow, but Eva glared at him and he immediately sat back down.
When they were outside, Eva sighed and looked at Rachel wearily. "What's wrong?"
"Uh... Well, Jimmy and me... we..." She didn't finished and Jimmy was sure she didn't want to hear it from him.
"Let's try it this way. I'll name something, and if it's right, nod, if not, shake your head. You are going out."
They both looked to the ground and nodded. "It has something to do with that, right?"
They nodded again.
"You did something bad?"
They hesitated and looked at each other before slowly nodding once more.
"You're going to have a baby?"
Both of their eyes widened, and they didn't nod, nor did they shake their heads.
Eva nodded and let out a deep breath. "I thought so. That's the reason I finally agreed to come tonight."
"Um... Are you mad, Mom?" Rachel asked.
"Not particularly. But Richard will be. You ready to tell him?"
Jimmy looked to Rachel, who looked a little scared, and he knew it was for his sake more than hers. He patted her on the shoulder to reassure her, and then looked up at Eva.
"I'll tell him."
"That's brave, I better come too. Rachel, why don't you wait out here, that's probably better for you."
"OK."
Jimmy and Eva walked back to where Richard was sitting and he stood up. "So? What is it?"
"Mr. Moore... She's going to have a baby."
Richard's eyes got wide. "By who?!"
Eva and Jimmy sweatdropped. "Him, einstein." Eva said coolly.
Richard clenched his teeth and looked very angry all of a sudden.
He stood there like that for a minute and then glared at Jimmy. He threw the liquor bottle at Jimmy, who jumped out of the way just in time for it to hit the wall behind him.
"You little punk!" Richard yelled, charging at him.
Although Jimmy could dodge every one of his attacks, it was the thought behind them that counted. Jimmy dodged all his attacks until he grew extremely tired.
"So, Rachel's gonna stay with me for a while, OK, Mr. Moore?"
Before either Richard or Eva could respond, Jimmy walked back out of the house to Rachel, who was standing nervously at the door.
"How'd it go?" She asked.
Jimmy started to tell her all about it until she started to look a little bit dizzy and sickly. As Jimmy finished his sentence, she threw up all over him.
"Are you OK, Rach?"
"No, I don't feel good."
Jimmy nodded and lifted her up. And he carried her all the way back home.
!!! So, there you go. Richard and Eva know that she's pregnant. Now we've just got Booker, Vivian, Serena, and maybe Dr. Agasa too. Thanks for all the support and ideas. I hope you liked this chapter!
R&R!!!
