A/N: Please!! Anyone who can help with the paragraphs, email me!! I know you guys hate it and I really want to change it!!
The phone rang several times, each time making the tension thicker. Scott stood in the middle of the office, Shelby wrapped her arms around his waist, ready to be there at any given moment. She knew it was probably coming sooner than later. " Hello?" a mans voice answered on the speaker, he knew right away it was his dad. Sophie quickly glances at them, " hello Mister Barringer, this is Sophie Becker from Mount Horizon High School". There was a sight, " what did he do this time?". " Oh, nothing, nothing at all. Actually this call is more of a.serious matter. Would you be offended if I were to ask some personal questions, it's very important". " Of course not". Sophie had been through a lot with the students since she had been at the school, this was brand new, and she wasn't sure how to approach it. " Besides Scott, do you have any other children". " Yes, he has a sister". " How old is she?". " Thirteen". She looked at Shelby and Scott, he was terrified, " what about with your wife now, no children?". A pause, then, " Elaine and I are no longer together". Those words snapped Scott into sudden school that ran through his veins. Even Sophie was taken by surprise, Martin went on before she said something, " we had a child and only last week she told me I was not the father. I don't know where she is, frankly I don't care. She lied to me for two years, practically brainwashing the kid to know something else". Shelby tightened her drip on Scott, she could feel him beginning to shake. Sophie took several deep breaths. " I'm so sorry Mister Barringer, but, I think it would be best if you came here as soon as possible, please". " May I ask why?". Sophie eyes Scott, not looking away, " Elaine's daughter is two?". It was difficult to hear the fear in his voice, but it was there, " how did you know she had a girl?". " Morgan is here, with her father".
Early in the morning, Shelby, Scott, and Morgan retired to the boys dorm. Morgan slept on his bed, Shelby and Scott on the floor next to her. She had let him fall asleep in her arms, his hand on her stomach. Gently, she stroked his forehead, feeling his breathing. For the entire night, he never let go of Morgan's hand, hanging over the beds edge.
