CHAPTER 2

"Grace, well, um………" "Spit it our Girardi", Grace was becoming annoyed; Joan had been trying to tell her something for the past five minutes. "Okay, okay, well, um this morning, I found out, that I am, um" "yes", "well Pregnant." Grace sat there on Joan's bed, with a stunned look on her face, and Joan looked like she was going to cry, tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "With Rove?" "No Grace". "Okay so, you did it with Rove, and now your gonna have a baby….at seventeen?' "Thanks Grace, you are making me feel sooooo much better." "Sorry, well we can get through it." "Grace, I just don't know", Joan said, as she looked into her friends eyes. "Well Grace I need to, um, ask you a favor." "Yeah, you want me to help you tell Rove." "How did you know?" "I just knew, but it might interfere with the make out session, I have with your brother." Grace said with a smile on her face, but she saw the plea in her friend's eyes. "Yeah, sure, your brother can wait." Joan liked that Grace was trying to make her feel, a little bit better, but she still couldn't get over the fact, that her best friend and her younger brother were swapping spit. "Well when and where are you going to tell Rove" Joan hadn't thought of when and where she was going to tell Adam, she had been to busy thinking about how he would react. She was also thinking about how she was going to tell her parents, they were going to be grandparents. Boy would they take that well. "Well, Grace I haven't thought about that yet." "Don't worry I will help, I promise". "Thanks, Grace really." For one of the first times today, Joan smiled. "No problem Girardi."

Joan was walking in the park; she decided she really needed some fresh air. She sat on the bench next to her, and for once she felt peaceful, she wasn't thinking about the events of the day, the cool breeze helped her calm down, for a few minutes at least. She knew that wouldn't last long when she spotted that oh so familiar tan jacket, and that brown spikey hair.
