I heard a knock at the door and I went to answer it. It was Katie, Gates and Hannah all standing there with shocked looks on their faces.
"We heard that you got a little freaky with the chocolate maker. It sure took you long enough."
"Well Gates, I was a good girl and waited till I was married."
"Hey, don't go getting all defensive on me now."
"I'm glad you guys came over because I have some news. I have been getting rather sick the past week or so. But don't worry, it isn't serious. Guys, I'm going to have a baby!"
They all stood there, not knowing what to say in response. Their mouths open wide, they stared off into space. They had no idea whether to be happy or sad about it, so they just stood there. All of a sudden, Katie screamed at the top of her lungs.
"AAHHHH! It's Willy Wonka!"
Then Hannah joined her in the yelling of disbelief. They had never really understood the concept of me being with him in the first place, and they had always been afraid that this would happen.
"I think that it's romantic. I am happy for her."
"Thank you, Gates. I thought you would all freak out over this."
"Well, you know how I have felt all along. I knew you would be happy with him, and I figured this would happen someday. You are going to be a great mother."
Wonka came in and stood beside me a moment later. Katie and Hannah looked at him with a strange stare. Then they both screamed at the exact same time, which almost deafened the rest of us.
"You got her pregnant!"
He cleared his throat and looked at the floor. I could sense the look of fear in his eyes, and it made me feel bad.
"He's really scared you guys. He doesn't think he will be able to raise this child properly. He's afraid he isn't going to be a good father." I put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry; you are going to be just fine. You don't need to worry about a thing."
There was a group "Awwwwww," followed by an awkward silence. Katie and Hannah seemed like they felt bad about screaming like that.
So we hung out for a while in my room, and talked about a lot of things. They wanted to know when it had happened, and they wanted details. I told them it was too personal, and all I said was that it happened on the beach.
"Congratulations girl!"
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this."
