Chapter Twenty Three:
Sam woke up at 6:30, she hated school now more then ever. She felt like she was going to throw up again, it was only a matter of time. She got dressed as quickly as she could, she went to wake Chad up.
When she opened Chad's bedroom door he wasn't there, she found him in the living room.
"Hey." Sam said sitting down on the couch next to him.
"Something wrong Sammy?" he asked.
"I don't feel well."
"Maybe you should stay home."
"I think I should."
"I've got work today, but when I come home maybe we could do something."
"Sound's great."
After she said that, she ran to the bathroom. Chad soon came knocking on the door.
"Sammy, are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm just great." she said opening the door.
They sat down and watched tv the whole morning, at about noon their mom came out of her room.
"Hey mom, how'd you sleep?" Chad asked walking into the kitchen.
"Great, Donald asked me something last night."
"Who's Donald?" Sam asked walking into the room.
"Samantha, what are you still doing here? Don't you have school?"
"Yeah, but I don't feel well. Now who's Donald?"
"My boyfriend."
"What'd he ask you?" Chad asked.
"He asked me to marry him, and I said yes."
Chad and Sam sat there with their mouths hanging open, they couldn't believe what they'd just heard.
"You're getting married?" Sam asked.
"Yes, is that so hard to believe?"
"Actually, yeah."
"Well congratulations." Chad said.
"Thank you Chad." their mother said and scowled at Sam. "We're going to get married in 7 months."
Sam couldn't believe it, 7 months? She'd be big as a house, could this day get any better?
"7 months? Isn't that a little soon?" Chad asked.
"Yes, but we've been going out for almost two years now."
"Congratulations."
"Yes well I have to get going, we're going to plan this wedding together." with that she was out the door.
"That's great." Chad said.
"Great? No it's not great, she's at the age to still have children. No telling what she'll do to that one." Sam shot back.
"Sammy, calm down."
"Are you kidding me? She's horrible to me, I can't imagine what she'll do to a baby."
"Well I've gotta get to work, I'll see you later." he kissed her head and left.
She was now left to think the entire time, this was perfect. In a matter of minutes Sam was asleep on the couch, she woke up to the sound of her mother giggling.
When she sat up, she saw her mother and a guy walking through the front door into the living room. Her mother stopped giggling when she saw Sam sitting there.
"Samantha, you're still here." she said.
"Yeah mom, I was sick remember?" Sam asked rudely.
"Donald I'd like you to meet Samantha, Samantha this is my boyfriend Donald."
"It's nice to meet you." Donald said shaking Sam's hand.
"Like wise."
In reality Sam couldn't stand him already, he was too preppy for an old guy.
"I'll be moving in here for the time being."
"You're what?" Sam asked being snapped out of her thoughts.
"I already sold my house, and my other house wont be done until after our wedding. So for the time being, I'm moving in." he explained.
"And after we get married, I'm giving the house to Chad." her mother piped in.
"So Chad and I will live here alone?" Sam asked shocked.
"Oh no, you're going to live with us."
"Are you out of you're mind? I'm not going to live with you two."
"And why not?"
"I have school, remember?"
"We're only moving into the house down the street, you'll be fine."
"Now Gail, Chad's a nice young man. If the child wants to stay with him, then I see no reason why not." Donald said.
Sam couldn't believe it, a guy that actually stood up for her. Hell if her mother wasn't going to marry him, she just might.
"But Donald, she is still my child." Gail shot back.
"Yes Gail, but she's old enough to make her own choices."
"Don't tell me how to raise my children."
"Alright, but just think about it. She wouldn't wanna live with a couple of geezers like us anyway." he said going into the kitchen.
Gail sat there with her mouth open, Sam went into the kitchen so she wouldn't laugh in her face.
"Did you mean what you said?" Sam asked.
"If you don't wanna live with us, then I see no reason why you should have to."
Sam couldn't believe it, the guy she hated moments ago was now perfect.
"So when are you moving in?" Sam asked.
"Actually there's some stuff out front in the truck, I've got to bring it in pretty soon."
"I'll help."
"You sure? The stuffs pretty big."
"I may not look like much, but I could kick you're ass."
"Good enough for me, trucks's out front."
Sam went out front and found, a couch, a dresser, and seven huge boxes.
"Told you the stuff was big." Donald said coming up behind her.
"Yeah but I didn't know it was THAT big."
"Well, why don't we try and move it. We've got nothing to lose."
"Alright, sounds fair enough."
Just as they were about to lift a huge box, Mikey came running over.
"Sam you're not supposed to be lifting heavy things." he said.
"Mikey, what are you doing here?" Sam asked glancing over at Donald.
"It's a good thing I was walking by, you can't lift that."
"Why not?" Donald asked confused.
Mikey looked at Sam for the answer, once again it was up to her.
"No reason, he's overprotective." she answered
"How rude of me; I'm Donald Harper, Gail's soon-to-be husband." he said extending his hand.
"Mikey Boscorelli, Sam's boyfriend." Mikey answered.
"Nice to meet you, Sam's never said anything about a boyfriend."
"Interesting, she's never said anything about you either."
"Well Mikey, you have to be going." Sam piped in.
"I do? Oh I mean, I do. Yes of course, I'll see you around." with that he left.
"Strange boy." Donald noted.
"Yes very, you wanna get to moving this or not?"
"Oh yes, of course."
It took them over half an hour to get it inside, but they managed. They were sitting in the living room talking.
"What about the other stuff?" Sam asked.
"Chad and I will get it later."
"Alright, what kind of soda you want?" Sam asked going into the kitchen.
"Root beer, if you've got it."
"We've always got it, it's my favorite drink." she said handing him a can.
They sat there in silence for a while, neither one knowing what to say.
"How did you and my mom meet?" Sam asked.
"I was backing out of my driveway, and I ran into her."
"Kind of a weird way to meet."
"Yeah."
"What first attracted you to her?"
"Honestly? The way she yelled, she looked so cute."
"You don't seem her type."
"Whys that?"
"You're actually nice."
"You're mothers a good woman, give her a chance. She just doesn't know how to raise you, I think you're to independent for her."
"Is that what she told you?"
"Yeah."
Sam sat there thinking, she didn't even notice Chad come home. Until she heard them straining in the other room.
"No, turn it the other way." Donald grunted.
"I'm trying." Chad grunted back.
Sam walked into the kitchen and watched them bringing in the dresser, they were both going different directions.
"Do you two need help?" she asked laughing.
"Yes, we'd love it." Chad answered.
"Well first, you're going the opposite way as Donald."
"I am?"
"Yeah, why don't you two stop for a minute."
"Good idea." they said in unison.
They put the dresser down and looked at it, they were in fact going in different directions. 10 minutes later the dresser was moved in, and Chad was heading to bed.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Sam asked Chad.
"Make it quick." he said heading into her room.
"You first have to promise not to yell." she said closing the door.
"Is it that bad?"
"Uh, for you? Yeah."
"Alright, I promise."
"Remember about three weeks ago, when Mikey and I went to the mall?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well that wasn't the first place we went."
"Where'd you go?"
"We went up to that make-out place, and we had sex."
"YOU WHAT??"
"Remember Chad, you said you wouldn't yell."
"That's before I knew this."
"Well there's more."
"What could possibly be worse?"
"I'm pregnant."
Donald was standing outside the door, he heard the whole thing. Sure it shocked him, but the first thing he said to himself was he wasn't going to let Gail know. Just yet anyway.
"Sammy, how could you let yourself get pregnant?" Chad asked a little calmer.
"I don't know okay? I just don't know. But you have to promise me you wont tell mom."
"Sammy, I don't think I can do that."
"Chad, please promise me. I'll tell her when the time comes."
"Alright fine, I promise." he said getting up and heading to the door.
"Thanks Chad, you're the best brother." she said hugging him.
"Yeah I am, aren't I?"
"You really are."
"Alright, well I gotta head to bed. I'll catch you tomorrow." with that he left.
Donald heard Chad coming and ran into Gail's room, he'd talk to Sam tomorrow. He was going to drive Sam to school, this way he could talk to her first. Mostly because they'd be alone, then there'd be no chance of Gail hearing it.
Sam went to bed, tomorrow she was going to school. She had to tell her friends now that Chad knew, she just had to. She slept really well now that she told him, she was not looking forward to telling her mother.
