Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know this is going to be a Jimmy/Manny story. I love that idea of them together, but couldn't find any fan fiction with them in it. So I decided to write my own, this is my first story, on but I have stories posted on ezboard. So I hope you enjoy, all criticism welcome. (Try not to be too hard on me!)

Chapter 1: Standing for what you believe in.

Manny's POV

How did this happen to me? What in the world was I thinking? What in the world did I do to deserve this? Why, why, why? God, I know why. Because I'm a horrible person, I stole Ashley's boyfriend and now I'm pregnant. Yep, 14 and pregnant.

General POV

Manny found herself in the car with her mother, on the way to the clinic. Something she never dreamed could happen to her. She had been ok, when she first found out. But after she told Craig, she knew she didn't have a choice.

Flashback

"Hey..." she said as leaned up against the locker next to his.

"Hey Manny" Craig said not really paying attention.

"I need to tell you something, but I'm scared" Manny whispered. This got Craig's full attention.

"Don't be, is everything alright?" He asked with concern that made Manny smile.

"No, I'm.... pregnant" she whispered, she watched the color drain from his face, but then his features hardened.

"So who's the dad?" he asked her, she was shocked.

"You of course!" many told him

"Huh, yea right, I used a condom, besides everybody knows you get around" Craig closed his locker.

"Excuse me, but you're the only one I have ever been with" Manny could feel the tears spring to her eyes.

"Yea, well that kids not mine, and I don't want anything to do with it, or you" Craig said and then he walked away.

End of Flashback

That had been two days ago. So here she was, going for her abortion. Manny didn't want to go, she hated abortion. She wasn't even pro choice she was strictly against it. That was the way her mother had always raised her. But some how, she let her family convince her it was what was best for her. But she still didn't want to do it.

"I can't believe you wore that here, no wonder you got yourself pregnant" she heard her mother's cruel voice as she parked and got out of the car. She was revering to Manny's tight low-rise denim jeans, and black low cut sweater. Manny just shook her head as they walked in.

All of the walls were covered with posters. Posters of young families, the human body, and the fetus at all different stages. Manny watched her mother approach the front desk and speak to the receptionist. She zoned out, pictures of what her baby would look like, pictures of her and craig, her and her family her and her future family were all swirling around her head.. This was all to hard, she wasn't even sure if she was ready, an her mom was already prepping the operating room.

"Manny come on" Manny looked up to see her mom and a nurse waiting for her. This was it, the moment of truth. She looked around the room, their wasn't anybody else their. She lightly placed a hand on her stomach. She was like a deer caught in the headlights. So she did the only thing she could think of. She bolted, straight for the door.

As soon as she got outside, she took a refreshing gulp of air. She felt as though she couldn't breath in there. The posters, the nurses, and her mom it was all just too much.

"Manny is everything all right" She felt her mother at her side. She looked over at her mother; she was now filled with rage.

"No, mother, its not" Manny growled, her mother was shocked.

"I don't understand"

"That's right you wouldn't! You have no idea what I'm going through...I'm scared mommy." She cried, her mother pulled her into a hug.

"Don't worry, we are going to have it all taken care of, you don't have to be scared" her mother rubbed her back but Manny pulled away, anger pulsing through her body.

"Don't you get it!" she shrieked "I'm not doing it, I'm not having the abortion" Manny told her quietly.

She watched her mother's face harden, just like Craig's face had. "Well then...your not coming home either." Her mother spoke. Manny was confused.

"If you don't have this thing, you can't live under our roof" her mother spoke again.

"Fine!" Manny yelled with tears streaming down her face, her mother was crying as well.

Manny watched her mother slowly walk back to the car and get in. Her mother sat there for a minute, but then pulled out of the parking lot leaving Manny behind. Manny just sat down on the nearby bench. She wrapped her arms around her body. She cried and cried and cried. She couldn't believe it, first Craig and now her family. Now what was she supposed to do. She was homeless, poor and with child. She was just another statistic.

'God, when did standing up for what you believe in, start to cause so much trouble' Manny whispered to herself, as she sat alone on the bench.

That's the first chapter. What do you thing? The next Chapter will be about Jimmy
